Desert Cup Champs

Make room in the trophy case, we've got a new Cup to add. The MLS Desert Cup is now the property of Sporting Kansas City, after a 2-2 draw with the New York Red Bulls on Saturday night in front of 10,000+ in Tucson, Arizona. Though both teams were 1-0-1 in the tourney, the title was decided on goal differential which favored KC at +5.

Check out media coverage from the match below, including an anecdote about the Prill family who were in attendance from Sierra Vista, AZ. Don Prill began supporting the team while he was an Army Captain at Fort Riley, Kansas. Thanks for the support!
