New in 2024, Behind the Shield presented by Audi will be available after every match week this season with the video series - produced by Sporting Kansas City's full-time digital storytellers - providing fans with an immersive viewing experience highlighted by exclusive interviews and all-access footage from Sporting Kansas City players, trainings and matchdays.
This week's BTS -- which can be seen on SportingKC.com, Sporting Kansas City's YouTube channel and MLS Season Pass on Apple TV -- captures the sights and sounds from the club's 2-1 comeback win over the Chcago Fire in Leagues Cup 2024.
Willy Agada scored the game-winning goal in the victory and viewers can hear from the 24-year-old Nigerian during the eight-minute episode.
"Coming here, you can feel the love from the team and to me this is everything," Agada says. "To be able to get to this stage that I am at today, I am so grateful. Seeing our amazing facilities, you've got everything to push you to the next level."
