Deadline beats Sporting Kansas City to Indiana Vassilev

Player ratings17 Aug 2026
Felipé Hernández ran the middle of the pitch — 6.91
He won it back and then made something of it, which is two jobs and the reason the scoreline looks the way it does. 17 combined actions and a mark of 6.91, and not one of them will make a highlights package.
Transfer targets17 Aug 2026
No deal for Peyton Miller at that price
Sporting Kansas City offered $740.0K; New England Revolution said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

The dugout17 Aug 2026
John Wright has his say
“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” John Wright on a 1‑0 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.
