Days after Audi and Bleacher Report released Episode 2 of "The Academy," an exclusive documentary series spotlighting the Sporting Kansas City Academy, four of the club's youth sides resumed their MLS NEXT fall seasons on Saturday against Minnesota-based Shattuck St. Mary's at James Cownie Sports Complex in Des Moines, Iowa.

The U-19s and U-16s rolled to comprehensive victories, the U-17s were pegged back late in a 1-0 loss, and the U-15s remained resolute on the defensive end in a scoreless stalemate.

U-19s secure 4-1 victory

The Sporting KC U-19s improved to 3-1-0 on the season, but not before falling behind in the fourth minute. Shattuck's lead didn't last long, however, as Alex Umana bagged an eight-minute equalizer on Edward Mendy's assist. Umana notched his second of the day in the 12th minute, capping a frantic opening quarter-hour.

The scoreline remained 2-1 until the 69th minute, when a Shattuck own goal doubled Sporting's advantage. U.S. youth international Ozzie Cisneros added icing to the cake with a strike in second-half stoppage time, with Quinten Blair entering the assist column.

U-17 concede late in 1-0 loss

After opening the campaign with consecutive wins, the Sporting KC U-17s took their first loss in MLS NEXT by the slimmest of margins. The contest remained goalless until the 88th minute, when Shattuck managed to find a breakthrough and come away with a 1-0 result.

U-16s post 3-0 triumph

The Sporting KC U-16s kept their unbeaten record in tact on Saturday, moving to 3-0-1 with a three-goal victory. Ryan Reid and Geremi Onentia were among the scorers, the latter burying a penalty kick in the 88th minute to seal the three points.

U-15s battle to 0-0 draw

Following in the footsteps of the U-16s, the Sporting KC U-15s took their record to 3-0-1 in a scoreless stalemate. This marks the fourth consecutive clean sheet for the U-15s to begin the MLS NEXT fall season.
