If Shapi flops around after this push, does the COS player get a red too? 😅 #SportingKC #COSvSKC #USOC2026

Calheira: ""We took it to the chin and we have to come out swinging next time." #SportingKC #COSvSKC #USOC2026
Wicky: "We didn't win duels. We didn't win second balls. We didn't win 1v1 duels."
"It's about being ready for this fight and we were not, unfortunately." #SportingKC #COSvSKC #USOC2026
Full time. A 10-man #SportingKC fall to the Colorado Springs Switchbacks 3-0.
It was 2-0 at full strength, so to be clear, not blaming the red.
#COSvSKC #USOC2026
Honestly, it's worse that #SportingKC mostly played their starters. At least if they played more backups they could just blame that. Woof.
#COSvSKC #USOC2026
Upon a closer look. Shapi doesn't even push him. It's Diego Borges. #SportingKC #COSvSKC #USOC2026
Watch the whole thread.
Shapi needs to control himself, but he gets crushed here. Super dangerous tackle and no way is Shapi's response worth a red. #SportingKC #COSvSKC #USOC2026
10 man SKC continue to leak goals. 3-0. #SportingKC #COSvSKC #USOC2026
Here is the full sequence. #SportingKC #COSvSKC #USOC2026
Shapi is understandably upset. He gets a red for a push. #SportingKC #COSvSKC #USOC2026
Colorado Springs should have scored again. Bennett forgot to try to shoot in front of an empty net... #SportingKC #COSvSKC #USOC2026
It's like when you accidently step on someone when you are in a line.
The dramatic fall at the end. #SportingKC #COSvSKC #USOC2026
Kwakua Agyabeng on for Jake Davis. 4th sub of the night. #SportingKC #COSvSKC #USOC2026
Davis gets a yellow. Looks like he stomped a foot. #SportingKC #COSvSKC #USOC2026
Davis just got a warning for persistent infringement.
The last two fouls just called were super soft. #SportingKC #COSvSKC #USOC2026
Colorado Springs Switchbacks are 8th in a 12 team USL Western Conference and they are up 2-0 on Kansas City as they approach halftime.
Tough to watch. #SportingKC #COSvSKC #USOC2026
Sporting Kansas City need a goal before the half. Desperately.
They aren't going to get better on short rest, at elevation, against a team that has more than full rest. #SportingKC #COSvSKC #USOC2026
More calamity defending and SKC's 2026 MLS Superdraft pick, Sadam Masereka, takes advantage. 2-0.
#Cupset incoming...
#SportingKC #COSvSKC #USOC2026
Capita with an unnecessary challenge and he's in the book on a yellow. Also his third foul fairly early in the game. #SportingKC #COSvSKC #USOC2026
Juan Tejada scores for Colorado Springs Switchbacks and SKC are down 1-0 in the 12th minute... #SportingKC #COSvSKC
No pressure on the ball. Easy cross into the box. Borges doesn't even jump and the dude is 6'4. Luckily the header is right to Pulskamp. #SportingKC #COSvSKC
Near miss for Colorado Springs....
Right before that, Capita seemed to be clearly fouled and the ref waived play on. #SportingKC #COSvSKC
