Joining Sporting on a club-record transfer fee from Chivas de Guadalajara last December, Pulido tallied six goals and five assists in 12 regular season appearances, becoming the first Kansas City player to top both categories since Josh Wolff in 2005. Russell bagged six goals of his own while adding four assists, joining Pulido and fellow teammates such as Kinda, Khiry Shelton and Erik Hurtado to form one of the deepest and most balanced attacks in MLS.
Sporting will begin their pursuit of the 2020 MLS Cup next Sunday, Nov. 22, hosting the San Jose Earthquakes in a Round One showdown at Children's Mercy Park. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. CT with a limited number of tickets available at SeatGeek.com and live coverage on FS1, FOX Deportes and the FOX Sports app.
