Cardiac Kids
North Texas SC is back at Choctaw Stadium for its first home game of April. After two straight on the road, NTSC has picked up steam grabbing five points from two gritty comeback performances. They scored in the final 10 minutes to steal a win in Portland and snatch a draw in Austin. Expect John Gall’s squad to bring that same never-quit energy on Sunday night.

FCD Academy players have made 14 appearances this season, totaling 616 minutes. Charles leads the group with 373 minutes played and was named MLS NEXT Rising Star of Matchweek 5.
What to Know About Colorado
Rapids 2 comes into this one off a 2-1 comeback win over Timbers2. All four of their games so far have been on the road, but that hasn’t slowed them down. They’re coached by Erik Bushey, now in his third season, and feature striker Kimani Stewart-Baynes, who’s already found the net twice this year.
