MATCH PREVIEW On the heels of a thrilling, last-gasp 2-1 road victory over the Indy Eleven on Wednesday, Sporting Kansas City II (5-9-1, 16 points) will close out their 2020 USL Championship campaign on Saturday with a visit to Group E winners Louisville City FC (10-3-2, 32 points) at Lynn Family Stadium. Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. CT with a live stream on ESPN Plus and additional in-game updates available via Twitter at @SportingKCII. Already eliminated from playoff contention, head coach Paulo Nagamura’s side delivered a spirited performance on Wednesday at Lucas Oil Stadium to prevent Indy Eleven from clinching the second and final playoff spot in Group E. Twenty-year-old striker Wilson Harris bagged his team-leading eighth goal of the campaign in the 41st mintue to give Sporting KC II a halftime lead, only for Andrew Carleton to restore parity for the hosts four mintues after the restart. The contest remained delicately poised and was ultimately decided in the 95th mintue when, just nine minutes into his professional debut, 17-year-old substitute Bailey Sparks fired home a brilliant goal to give Sporting KC II all three points.
