After six matches and almost two dozen training sessions in Tucson, it's another preseason in the books for Sporting Kansas City.
Manager Peter Vermes gave playing time to 36 different players over the course of the 2017 preseason, presented by Children's Mercy. The statistics log below will reflect an even distribution of minutes throughout the squad as well as an even distribution of scoring, as Sporting KC's seven goals came from seven different players.
Vermes' side will return to Kansas City today to begin preparations for the 2017 MLS regular season opener at D.C. United on Saturday. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. CT on FOX Sports Kansas City and FOX Sports Midwest, and the official watch party will be held at No Other Pub in the Kansas City Power & Light District (1370 Grand Blvd.).
