5. RADOJA NAMED TO TEAM OF THE MATCHDAY

Sporting Kansas City midfielder Nemanja Radoja was named to the MLS Team of the Matchday on Monday as one of the top 20 players in Major League Soccer for Matchday 26 of the regular season.

Radoja assisted on both goals in Sporting’s 2-1 road win at the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday – setting up Erik Thommy in the 48th minute and providing a pinpoint pass for Alan Pulido in the 57th minute – as SKC won a third match in a seven-day span for the first time in club history.

The 31-year-old Serbian holding midfielder became the first Sporting KC player to record two assists in an MLS match this season and he did so against San Jose for a second time in as many years. Radoja, who has covered the most distance of any SKC player during the regular season (146 miles, per Sportec), leads Sporting with 2,183 minutes played this year in all competitions.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – Kansas City Police Department (KCPD) officers and Missouri State Highway Patrol (MHP) officers are heading to Milwaukee, Wisconsin Monday morning for increased security at this year’s Republican National Convention.

KCPD confirmed they are sending 30 members to aid the overnight perimeter security alongside local, state, or federal law enforcement partners from July 15 to July 18.

No one was available from KCPD to speak on camera Monday morning, but they did provide some insight about their involvement.
