First-year head coach Benny Feilhaber and SKC II are on a hot streak, winning their last two matches in comeback fashion. First, they erased a two-goal deficit at home against Real Monarchs to win 4-2, before scoring two second-half goals at Timbers2 to win 2-1 away from home. After a slow start to the MLS NEXT Pro campaign, Feilhaber and the SKC II offense have begun to find their stride.

Leading that charge has been two figures in the SKC II attacking third. Sporting KC Academy product Mataeo Bunbury has three goals in the last two matches, and a team-high four goals on the season. He bagged a first-half brace against the Monarchs to pull SKC II level and netted the game-winner against T2 last Sunday.

Helping out Bunbury on the offensive side has been winger Julian Vazquez whose five goal contributions (two goals, three assists) pace the team. Vazquez scored his first SKC II goal against the Monarchs and equalized against T2 off a Rauf Salifu assist. The SKC II attacker will not be available for Friday’s match as he has been called into duty with the Sporting Kansas City first team.
