Alan Pulido espanta la mala suerte y marca su primer gol en 20 meses

Veinte meses después, Alan Pulido se reencontró con el gol.

El delantero mexicano anotó en la victoria 3-0 del Sporting Kansas City sobre Tulsa Athletic en la U.S. Open Cup y terminó con una larguísima y maldita sequía de alegrías.

Pulido llegó al equipo estadounidense proveniente de Chivas, en 2019, a cambio de 9,5 millones de dólares y su aporte en principio no fue menor: 15 goles y ocho asistencias en 36 apariciones. Sin embargo, una serie de molestias y una operación de rodilla a principios de 2022 lo borraron de escena.
