The teams are meeting for the second time this week, after playing a round-of-16 match in the U.S. Open Cup in Kansas City on Tuesday.  The Timbers have won the last two meetings between the clubs over the last two seasons, including a 3-2 victory last April 27 at Sporting Park in the only encounter between the clubs.  Sporting won the first two meetings between the teams in the first MLS season for the Timbers, in 2011.  Coaches record: Caleb Porter vs. KC: P1 W1 L0 T0 … Peter Vermes vs. POR: P4 W2 L2 T0 U.S. OPEN CUP  Just four days before their league match, the teams met in a fifth-round match in the U.S. Open Cup, the Timbers advancing with a 3-1 victory at Sporting Park. Gastón Fernández scored a pair of goals (30, 69) while Will Johnson converted a penalty kick (57) as Portland raced out to a three-goal lead. Soony Saad scored the lone SKC goal.  The Timbers will now face Seattle Sounders FC in the quarterfinals, July 9 at Starfire Sports Complex in Tukwila, Wash.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY: Andy Gruenebaum; Kevin Ellis, Aurelien Collin, Erik Palmer-Brown, Seth Sinovic, Lawrence Olum, Paulo Nagamura (Alex Martinez 84), Antonio Dovale, Sal Zizzo (Jacob Peterson 60), Dom Dwyer (C.J. Sapong 71), Soony Saad  PORTLAND TIMBERS: Andrew Weber; Talor Peay, Danny O'Rourke, Norberto Paparatto (Rauwshan McKenzie 29), Jorge Villafana, Jack Jewsbury, Will Johnson, Gaston Fernandez, Kalif Alhassan, Maximiliano Urruti, Steve Zakuani (Michael Harrington 64) PORTLAND TIMBERS The Portland Timbers once again provided some late heroics, getting another late goal to come back for a 2-2 draw with FC Dallas on June 11 at Providence Park. The Timbers are in sixth place in the Western Conference with 20 points from 16 games. LAST MATCH  FC Dallas took the lead in the 27th minute. Fabian Castillo chested down a perfectly placed chip by Blas Pérez while charging down the right flank, then tucked the ball neatly past a diving Donovan Ricketts.  Dallas added on in the 39th minute when rookie Tesho Akindele made a run down the right and sent a pass back through the middle of the area which was first dummied by Castillo before Pérez sent a blast past Ricketts top-shelf.

MLS GAME INFORMATION



The Timbers began their comeback in the 79th minute when Dallas defender Je-Vaughn Watson took down Fanendo Adi in the box and referee Alan Kelly pointed to the spot, with the penalty converted easily by Will Johnson.  FCD were put under further pressure in the 87th minute when Moises Hernandez was shown a red card for a dangerous challenge on second-half substitute Danny O’Rourke, and then Pérez was sent off in stoppage time for stomping Pa Modou Kah to put the visitors two men down.  The dramatic equalizer came before the final whistle after a rebound from a Maximiliano Urruti shot fell right to Kah in front of goal, and he calmly finished into an open goal from close range.  Timbers head coach Caleb Porter made three changes to the team that defeated Real Salt Lake 3-1 at Rio Tinto Stadium. Michael Harrington and Pa Modou Kah came into the back four for Jack Jewsbury and Norberto Paparatto, and Steve Zakuani started in place of Gaston Fernandez.  PORTLAND TIMBERS (4-2-3-1): Donovan Ricketts - Michael Harrington (Maximiliano Urruti 82), Rauwshan McKenzie (Danny O'Rourke 46), Pa Modou Kah, Jorge Villafana - Will Johnson, Diego Chara - Darlington Nagbe, Diego Valeri, Steve Zakuani (Gaston Fernandez 60) - Fanendo Adi. TEAM NEWS  The Timbers scored a fourth goal in stoppage time this season to secure a late result, snatching draws vs. Philadelphia, LA Galaxy and FC Dallas, and a win vs. D.C. United – with all of those games at Providence Park.  The Timbers have scored 10 goals in the final 15 minutes plus added time in MLS games, tied with Seattle Sounders FC for the most in the league.  “We set a club record for shots, 30 shots [most in MLS this season]. They gave everything they had, couldn’t give anything more. Got that on one hand and on the other hand, just a lot of disappointment,” said Timbers head coach Caleb Porter. “... We didn’t allow Dallas to get three points, so they didn’t make up any ground on us. Under the circumstances, to do what we did second half down 2-0 to get the tie, you have to feel not satisfied, but it was a positive result under the circumstances.”  The Timbers have drawn seven of their nine matches this season at Providence Park – winning just once, and losing just once. The MLS record for home draws in a season is nine, set in 2011 by both Philadelphia and Colorado.  Pa Modou Kah scored his first MLS goal, netting the equalizer for his first tally in 39 competitive appearances since coming to the Timbers.  Will Johnson scored a goal for a third consecutive match – the last two from the penalty spot. Johnson then made it four straight games with a goal in all competitions when he converted from the spot in the Open Cup tie vs. Sporting KC.  Michael Harrington made his first start since being forced from the field injured in the May 11 game vs. LA Galaxy, coming in at right back.  “First half was disappointing, it was embarrassing, it was abysmal defending,” Porter said. “But that will be corrected, no doubt about it. The good thing is we have a good team. We have all the makings of a championship team, except for two things and those things will be corrected.”  With a view to the league match ahead, Porter traveled to the Open Cup match at KC without key players including attackers Diego Valeri and Darlington Nagbe, defensive midfielder Diego Chara and starting goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts.  “Now we have those guys fresh,” Porter said. “It’s going to make for an interesting second match, how many guys they rotate and play, how many guys we do, what the tactics are, whether we change our tactics.”  Before the Open Cup win vs. Sporting KC, the Timbers advanced past their first hurdle in a 3-0 win against the Orlando City under-23 side of USL PRO in the fourth round at Providence Park. Gaston Fernandez scored twice (11, 36) and Taylor Peay added his first professional goal.  Here’s the Timbers team: Weber, Powell (Peay, 56), O’Rourke, McKenzie, Harrington, Jewsbury, Fernández (Fochive, 71), Nanchoff, Alhassan, Urruti, Wallace (Tshuma, 80) SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City put an end to their winless run after five matches, defeating the Houston Dynamo 2-0 on June 6 at BBVA Compass Stadium. Sporting sit in third place in the Eastern Conference with 22 points from 15 games. LAST MATCH  Sporting went a man down in the 21st minute when Toni Dovale was sent off by referee Juan Guzman for an apparent off-the-ball elbow against Dynamo midfielder Alex Lopez.  But the visitors took the lead just before the halftime break. Just minutes after clearing a ball off the line, Dynamo defender Eric Brunner miscontrolled the ball on the edge of his box and it fell to Soony Saad, who coolly stroked a low shot into the far corner.  Sporting doubled their despite the manpower disadvantage in the 70th minute after rookie center back A.J. Cochran was adjudged to have handled in the penalty area and Dom Dwyer converted the spot kick.

MLS GAME INFORMATION



Sporting manager Peter Vermes made three changes to the team that dropped a 1-0 decision to D.C. United at RFK Stadium. Erik Palmer-Brown came into central defense for Aurelien Collin, Lawrence Olum started in midfield in place of Alex Martinez, and Soony Saad came back in up top for Jacob Peterson.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Eric Kronberg - Igor Juliao (Jacob Peterson 46), Erik Palmer-Brown, Kevin Ellis, Seth Sinovic - Lawrence Olum - Benny Feilhaber (Sal Zizzo 46), Paulo Nagamura (Alex Martinez 7) - Antonio Dovale (ejected 21), Dom Dwyer, Soony Saad. TEAM NEWS  Sporting won for the first time in league play since May 10, when they won 3-0 at the Montréal Impact, having lost three games and drawn two in over their winless run.  “This group of guys, they really deserved three points,” SKC manager Peter Vermes said. “They really did. They've deserved three points here in the last so many games that we've played. They've played well. I'm hoping this is a good confidence-builder for them, because they deserve it. Their commitment, the way they played, was excellent.”  Dom Dwyer moved back into a tie with New York’s Bradley Wright-Phillips atop the MLS Golden Boot standings with his 11th goal of the season, his first in three games (since May 23).  Soony Saad scored his first league goal of the season against Houston, his first in MLS play since last Sept. 7. He has also netted goals in each of SKC’s two Open Cup ties.  “I'm not even concerned with the goal thing,” said Saad. “I'm just disappointed that we aren't going to participate in the U.S. Open Cup further this year. We really took pride in that tournament, so it doesn't really matter to me right now.”  With Aurelien Collin sidelined with a recurring hamstring injury, Vermes started an all-Homegrown Player central defense pair of Erik Palmer-Brown and Kevin Ellis. The pair had played together for the final 81 minutes of the 1-0 loss at D.C. United after Collin was forced from the field.  Returning from international duty with Kenya, Lawrence Olum made his first league start since May 4, coming into a holding midfield role.  Benny Feilhaber was forced from the field at halftime with a shoulder injury, but further tests indicated surgery will not be necessary.  “I didn't know what it was, because I've never injured my shoulder,” Feilhaber said. “But I knew something was wrong because of the pain I felt right away. It felt like something popped out of place, something like that. I didn't know what it was, though.”  There was another early injury substitution as Paulo Nagamura had to come off after just seven minutes with a head injury.  Before the Open Cup match vs. Portland, Sporting won their fourth-round tie in a 2-0 win vs. Minnesota United FC of the NASL. Soony Saad and Alex Martinez scored late to secure the KC victory.  Here’s the Sporting team: Andy Gruenebaum; Jacob Peterson, Erik Palmer-Brown, Kevin Ellis, Seth Sinovic, Victor Munoz (Alex Martinez 36), Lawrence Olum, Claudio Bieler (Sal Zizzo 62), Toni Dovale, Dom Dwyer, Soony Saad (C.J. Sapong 88)

LAST MATCH RECAP The Timbers advanced to the quarterfinals of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup for the second consecutive year with a 3-1 win against Sporting Kansas City before 11,138 fans at Sporting Park on Tuesday night. Midfielder Gastón Fernández registered a brace in a second consecutive U.S. Open Cup match for the Timbers, opening the scoring in the 30th minute with a low shot from the middle of the penalty box following a deflected pass from midfielder Kalif Alhassan. Fernández, who leads all Timbers players with 10 goals in all competitions this season, netted his second goal of the match in the 68th minute. Putting the Timbers ahead by three goals, Fernández was in the right place, depositing a rebound off forward Maximiliano Urruti’s initial effort into an open goal. Midfielder Will Johnson netted a goal in the 57th minute, converting a penalty kick after midfielder Steve Zakuani dribbled through the Sporting Kansas City defense and into the penalty box when defender Aurelien Colin committed a foul.

NO PLACE LIKE HOME Providence Park opened on April 14, 2011, in front of a sold-out crowd in the Timbers first-ever home match as an MLS team. The club proceeded to sell out 51 consecutive regular-season home games in the team’s first three MLS seasons. Last year, the club earned an 11-1-5 overall regular-season home record in 17 games, which was the best home record in MLS. The Timbers compiled an MLS-club record 22-game unbeaten streak at Providence Park from April 6, 2013 to June 1, 2014.

HEAD COACH CALEB PORTER Head coach Caleb Porter guided the Portland Timbers on a record-setting, turnaround season in 2013, his first season in MLS and as the club’s head coach. He was announced as the Timbers head coach on Aug. 29, 2012, and joined the club ahead of the 2013 MLS campaign. Porter received the Slats Gill Award for Sportsperson of the Year at the Oregon Sports Awards on March 9, 2014, becoming the fourth soccer-related figure to receive the award since it was founded in 1957. Porter was named the 2013 MLS Coach of the Year after leading Portland to a 14-5-15 (57pts) record, finishing the regular season in first place in the Western Conference and with the third-best record in the league – just two points shy of MLS Supporters’ Shield-winners New York Red Bulls. In 2013, the Timbers set new single-season club marks in points, wins, goals (54), goal differential (+21), shutouts (15) and fewest goals allowed (33). Under Porter, the Timbers assembled one of the biggest turnaround seasons in MLS history in 2013. In comparison to Portland’s 2012 totals, the Timbers assembled a 23-point improvement in points and an MLS-record 43-goal improvement in goal differential. Portland’s five losses during the 2013 regular season are tied for the fewest in MLS history in a 34-game season. In 2013, the Timbers ranked third in MLS in goals scored and conceded the second-fewest goals at 33, giving the club a league-best, plus21 goal differential. The club also led the league with 15 shutouts, tied for third-most in a single season in MLS history. During the regular season, the Timbers assembled one of the longest unbeaten streaks in MLS history at 15 games. The Timbers recorded a 15-game, home unbeaten streak during the 2013 regular season, posting a league-best 11-1-5 home record at Providence Park. The club also set an MLS single-season record with 11 home shutouts. Among Porter’s achievements during the 2013 season, the club’s 57 points accrued are the most earned by a first-year head coach in MLS since the league’s inaugural season in 1996. Porter’s winning percentage (.632) in 2013 ranked among the best in league history for first-year MLS head coaches, and the Timbers’ 15-game unbeaten streak is the longest by an MLS head coach in his first full season at the helm. Under Porter in 2013, Portland qualified for the MLS Cup Playoffs for the first time since joining the league in 2011. By defeating rival Seattle Sounders FC in the Western Conference Semifinal, the Timbers became just the fifth club in MLS history to reach the conference championship in their MLS Cup Playoff debut, and the first since Real Salt Lake in 2008. Additionally, the Timbers made their deepest run in club history in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in 2013 under Porter’s guidance, reaching the semifinals of the tournament. Prior to joining the Timbers, Porter was one of the most successful coaches in NCAA history during his tenure as head coach at the University of Akron from 2006-12. He compiled a career mark of 123-18-17 at Akron and owned the highest winning percentage (.832) among all active Division I coaches. Porter garnered numerous honors while at Akron, including 2009 NSCAA National Coach of the Year. From Kalamazoo, Mich., Porter led the Zips to back-to-back NCAA College Cup appearances in 2009 and 2010, and the school’s first national title in any sport in 2010. In all, he guided Akron to seven Mid-American Conference (MAC) regular-season championships, five MAC tournament titles and five consecutive trips to the NCAA tournament’s Round of 16 (2008-12). Porter set multiple NCAA records while at Akron, including a 48-match, home unbeaten streak (44-0-4) from 2008-11 and a 47-match unbeaten streak (44-0-3) in conference play from 2006-12. Porter’s coaching career also includes time as the head coach of the U.S. U-23 Men’s National Team during 2012 CONCACAF Olympic qualifying and he spent three years as an assistant coach on the U.S. U-18 National Team from 2009-11. Prior to joining Akron, Porter was an assistant coach for six years (2000-05) at Indiana University. As a player, Porter was the 27th overall pick by the San Jose Clash in the 1998 MLS College Draft. He spent time with San Jose and the Tampa Bay Mutiny before a knee injury ended his professional playing career in 2000. Porter also played for the U.S. National B Team from 1996-97, winning a bronze medal at the 1997 World University Games. He had a successful collegiate playing career at Indiana, where he was a three-year captain and a three-time All-Big Ten honoree. Porter led the Hoosiers to four conference titles, and four NCAA tournament appearances. As a senior, Porter captained IU to 23 consecutive wins before losing to eventual national champion UCLA in the national semifinals and was the runner-up for the 1997 Hermann Trophy.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY AT PORTLAND TIMBERS FRIDAY, JUNE 27, 2014 SCOUTING SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City, the defending MLS Cup champion, ranks third in the Eastern Conference, but has just one win in its last six regular-season matches. Ranking second in the Eastern Conference with 22 goals scored, Sporting Kansas City has compiled a 3-4-0 record on the road this season. Friday’s match marks their third consecutive road match and first regular-season match since June 6 – a 2-0 win over D.C. United at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C. Starting midfielder Graham Zusi and defender Matt Besler will miss Friday’s game while on duty with the U.S. Men’s National Team at the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

BACK-TO-BACK MATCHES Friday’s match marks the second meeting between the two sides in a four-day span. After squaring off against Sporting Kansas City in the U.S. Open Cup at Sporting Park on Tuesday night, the Timbers play host to Sporting KC in the Rose City in regular-season action on Friday night. The Timbers have played consecutive matches against the same opponent across U.S. Open Cup and league play only once before. In 2006, the Timbers took on the Charleston Battery in the third round of the Open Cup on July 12, 2006 in Charleston, S.C. before playing the Battery again two days later in USL First Division league play.

AMONG LEAGUE LEADERS The Timbers rank among the top teams in MLS in several offensive categories. Portland is tied for second in goals (28) and ranks tied for third overall in assists (21), while the squad has attempted the second-most shots on goal this season (82). The Timbers are the second-most fouled team in MLS through the first 16 games, suffering 258 fouls.

SCORING PACE Portland’s 28 goals this season are tied for second-most goals in the league. The Timbers are currently on pace for 59 goals this season, which would be five more goals scored than during the record-setting 2013 season. Portland is averaging a goal every 51.43 minutes, third-best rate in the league.

ADVANCING IN THE U.S. OPEN CUP Portland advanced to the quarterfinals of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup with a 3-1 win over Sporting Kansas City on Tuesday night at Sporting Park in Kansas City, Kan. With the win, the Timbers set up a meeting against Cascadia-rival Seattle Sounders FC on Wednesday, July 9, at Starfire Sports Complex in Tukwila, Wash.; kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. (Pacific). Portland has reach the quarterfinals of the annual U.S. Open Cup tournament for consecutive years, making a run to the semifinals last year. The semifinal run in 2013 marks Portland’s deepest run in the tournament across all eras.

TIMBERS SIGN TWO DESIGNATED PLAYERS Making two moves this week, the Timbers exercised the purchase option on forward Fanendo Adi, signing the Nigerian striker to a multiyear contract as a Designated Player, and signing experienced English defender Liam Ridgewell as a Designated Player. Adi was originally acquired by the Timbers on loan from FC Copenhagen on May 13, 2014. Quickly making his presence felt after joining the Timbers, Adi netted a pair of braces in his first two starts after joining the club on loan in May, and has four goals and two assists in six league matches (3 starts) for Portland this season. Adi was named Major League Soccer’s Player of the Week for Week 14 for a two-goal effort in a 3-1 win at Real Salt Lake on June 7. Tallying an assist on a crucial, game-tying goal as a substitute in his first appearance with the Timbers against Columbus on May 17, Adi went on to tally both goals in a 2-0 victory at Chivas USA in his first start with Portland on May 28. Carrying an experienced pedigree with more than 250 matches played over 11 English Premier League seasons spent with Aston Villa, Birmingham City and West Bromwich Albion, Ridgewell, 29, played the last two-and-a-half seasons with West Brom, making 76 appearances as one of the club’s primary options in defense. Ridgewell made 33 appearances during the 2013-14 EPL season, logging 90 minutes in all but three of his appearances while helping the Baggies remain in the Premiership for a fifth consecutive season.

CHANCES CREATED The Timbers rank second in MLS with 164 chances created through 16 games. Individually, midfielder Diego Valeri is tied for second in the league with 44 chances created and midfielder/forward Darlington Nagbe ranks eighth with 31 chances created.

MULTI-GOAL GAMES ASSIST LEADER Midfielder Diego Valeri holds the league lead with eight assists, including four in the last three matches. The playmaking midfielder, who finished as the league-leader in assists (13) last season while winning MLS Newcomer of the Year honors, has tallied at least one point in six of the team’s last eight regularseason matches. Valeri’s three assists against Vancouver on June 1 tied the Timbers MLS single-game record for assists in a match.

HITTING THE WOODWORK The Timbers lead the league with 12 shots that have hit the frame this season. Toronto FC and Seattle have hit the woodwork eight times, which ranks second in the league.

TIMBERS INJURY REPORT QUESTIONABLE: D Pa Modou Kah (Achilles’ tendonitis), D Norberto Paparatto (Ankle sprain), M Ben Zemanski (concussion) * - As of June 26, 2014

Portland has recorded six straight multi-goal games in regular-season play. The six-game stretch is the longest with multiple goals in a game by the Timbers in the club’s four MLS seasons. Previously, Portland recorded multiple goals in four straight games (May 12–June 8, 2013).

SQUAD DEPTH Displaying good depth in the squad, the Timbers have seen 23 players earn a start in all competitions this season, while 26 players have earned playing time.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE DRAW The Timbers have been drawn into Group 5 of the 2014-15 CONCACAF Champions League tournament alongside Club Deportivo Olimpia of Honduras and Alpha United FC of Guyana. The full tournament schedule will be announced at a later date while the eventual CONCACAF Champions League winner will earn a berth in the 2015 FIFA Club World Cup. The 2014-15 edition of the competition marks Portland’s first-ever berth in the CONCACAF Champions League tournament. Portland qualified for the tournament by virtue of finishing with the best overall record from the conference opposite the MLS Supporters’ Shield winner in 2013. Along with Portland, MLS Cup-champion Sporting Kansas City, U.S. Open Cup-champion D.C. United and Supporters’ Shield-winner New York Red Bulls represent the four U.S.-based MLS clubs in the competition.

Portland again equalized through Darlington Nagbe 12 minutes from halftime, and Rodney Wallace buried the winner just before the hour mark.

Sporting KC has sold out 44 straight MLS home matches at Sporting Park. Sporting KC has won 235 MLS regular season matches, fourth most in league history. Sporting KC has the most ties in MLS history among all teams (120). Peter Vermes is in his sixth season as manager, second longest in club history behind Bob Gansler. Vermes’ winning percentage (.557) is best for Sporting KC all-time. Graham Zusi is tied with Davy Arnaud for third place on Sporting KC’s all-time assists chart with 35. Aurelien Collin is second in club history in MLS competition for most goals scored by a defender with 15, two shy of Jimmy Conrad (17). Matt Besler is in ninth place on the club’s all-time chart for games started with 130. Dom Dwyer is the third player in club history to score in four straight MLS regular season appearances. His four-game goal scoring streak ties the MLS season high along with Erick Torres, Robbie Keane, Bradley Wright-Phillips and Patrick Mullins. Should Paulo Nagamura play 27 minutes against Portland, he will become the 27th active MLS player to reach 17,000 regular season minutes and the first on Sporting KC’s roster to do so.

Sporting KC news & Notes Besler and Zusi making an impact with USMNT at World Cup Sporting KC defender Matt Besler and Graham Zusi have played integral roles in the United States’ first two group stage matches at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. Heading into their final match against Group G leaders Germany on June 26, the Americans are level with four points but behind on goal differential. Ghana and Portugal have one point apiece. The U.S. kicked off its World Cup campaign with a thrilling 2-1 victory against Ghana on June 16 in Natal. Zusi provided the game-winning assist with an 86th-minute corner kick as the Americans avenged losses to the Black Stars in the previous two World Cups. Besler, who was replaced at halftime after pulling his hamstring, became the second player to start a World Cup match for the U.S. while playing club soccer in Kansas City (Jimmy Conrad, 2006). The U.S. took another step toward progressing to the knockout stage with a 2-2 draw against Portugal on June 22 in Manaus. Zusi was again involved in late-game heroics, assisting Clint Dempsey’s go-ahead goal in the 81st minute, before Silvestre Varela headed a 95th-minute equalizer with the final touch of the match. Besler played the full match and Zusi was replaced in the 91st minute, marking the first time since 2002 that two players from the same MLS club started together for the U.S. in a World Cup game. Besler led all players in the match with 12 clearances and five interceptions. Besler, 27, has made 19 appearances for the U.S. since debuting in January 2013, including six FIFA World Cup qualifiers and all three knockout round games en route to the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup title. Following the Americans’ 2-2 draw against Portugal, the U.S. is 13-1-4 with Besler in the starting lineup. He has appeared in 145 MLS matches (including postseason) in his career, earning MLS Best XI (2012, 2013), MLS All-Star (2011, 2013) and MLS Defender of the Year (2012) honors. Zusi has earned 25 appearances for the U.S. with three goals and six assists in his international career. He scored in the final two FIFA World Cup Qualifiers, highlighted by the game-winning goal against Jamaica at Sporting Park, to secure a first place finish in the Hexagonal for the U.S. He has played in 142 MLS matches (including postseason) with 18 goals and 40 assists. He was an MLS MVP finalist in 2012 and nominee for Best MLS Player at the 2013 ESPYS to go along with MLS All-Star (2012, 2013) and MLS Best XI (2012, 2013) recognition.

Sporting KC news & Notes (cont.) Sporting KC exits U.S. Open Cup in fifth round loss to Portland

Injuries and international duty test Sporting KC’s depth

Sporting KC fell to the Portland Timbers 3-1 Tuesday night at Sporting Park in the fifth round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Soony Saad scored from the penalty spot and Andy Gruenebaum made three saves in his second appearance for the club. The Timbers, who host Sporting KC Friday in MLS play, advance to the tournament quarterfinals against club rival Seattle Sounders on July 9.

Through 15 games in the 2014 MLS regular season, Sporting KC has featured 15 different starting lineups. Peter Vermes’ personnel selection has been complicated by several factors throughout the year. In March, the club had to balance multiple competitions during the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals. More recently, schedule congestion has come to the forefront with seven MLS games in May. To complicate matters, Chance Myers and Ike Opara have suffered season-ending injuries; Matt Besler, Graham Zusi and Lawrence Olum have seen extended international action; and Erik Palmer-Brown and Aurelien Collin have served one-game suspensions, with the latter also picking up a minor injury.

The Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, recognized as U.S. Soccer’s National Club Championship, is an annual competition open to all amateur and professional soccer teams affiliated with U.S. Soccer. The oldest annual team tournament in American sports history, the U.S. Open Cup began in 1914 and is named after Lamar Hunt, the founder of Sporting KC. This year’s competition began on May 7 with the largest field in the modern era (1995-present) featuring 80 teams. The single-elimination tournament will continue through the championship match on Sept. 30 or Oct. 1 with the winner receiving $250,000 in prize money, a berth in the 2015-16 CONCACAF Champions League and their name on the Dewar Challenge Trophy. Sporting KC are two-time champions in the competition, winning the title in 2004 and 2012.

Seven Sporting KC players in contention for All-Star Fan XI On Monday, Major League Soccer released the latest results from fan voting for the 2014 MLS All-Star Game in Portland, Oregon. Seven Sporting KC players are among the leaders at their respective positions. Captain Matt Besler is the leading vote getter among defenders, while his centerback partner Aurelien Collin is third and left back Seth Sinovic is sixth. Graham Zusi and Benny Feilhaber are the third and fifth-ranked midfielders, and goalkeeper Eric Kronberg ranks third. MLS joint-leading scorer Dom Dwyer is sixth among forwards. Voting opened on May 28 and will continue through July 11. Votes will also be tallied through Twitter from July 2-6 and via EA SPORTS FIFA 14. The All-Star Fan XI—one goalkeeper, three defenders, four midfielders and three forwards—will be revealed on July 16. The 2014 MLS All-Star game is set for Aug. 6 featuring German champions Bayern Munich at Portland’s Providence Park.

As a result, 24 different players have started an MLS match for the club this season, most of all 19 teams. Sporting KC’s defense has been stretched most of all, with eight different players featuring in the centerback position during the 2014 campaign.

Dwyer wins MLS Player of the Month for May Sporting KC forward Dom Dwyer was voted Major League Soccer’s Player of the Month for May. The 23-year-old Englishman continued his breakout season with six goals during the month and did so by scoring in four straight MLS matches, tied for the longest such goal-scoring streak in MLS this season and second best in team history. Dwyer is tied for first in the MLS Golden Boot race with 11 goals during the 2014 season and is now one of 11 players all-time with a 10-goal season in a KC uniform. Dwyer is also tied for the League lead with three game-winning goals and three multi-goal games, while ranking first in shots (55) and shots on goal (22).

Kronberg posting solid numbers in goal In his first season as Sporting KC’s starting goalkeeper, Eric Kronberg leads MLS with a 0.93 goals against average and six shutouts among goalkeepers with more than three matches played. He has allowed 14 goals in 2014, five of which have come from the penalty spot. His six victories are tied for second most in the League.

Gruenebaum and Munoz make club debuts in Open Cup win

Sporting Park sellout streak and Open Cup attendance numbers

Goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum made his Sporting KC debut on June 18, recording three saves and a clean sheet in a 2-0 victory over Minnesota United FC in the fourth round of the U.S. Open Cup. The Kansas City native spent eight years with the Columbus Crew before coming to Sporting KC in an off-season trade in December. The match also saw midfielder Victor Munoz make his club debut and first start, though he was subbed off in the 36th minute after picking up a quad injury.

Sporting Park has sold out 44 straight MLS matches, including four playoff games. The last time Sporting KC didn’t play in front of a sellout crowd was March 25, 2012. In those 44 matches, Sporting KC is 24-9-11, has recorded 15 shutouts, and has outscored their opponents 57-34.

Sporting KC embracing youth movement Since the Homegrown Player initiative began in MLS in mid-2009, Sporting KC has signed three Academy products to professional contracts as members of the senior team roster: goalkeeper Jon Kempin (2010) defender Kevin Ellis (2011) and defender Erik Palmer-Brown (2013). For the past two MLS matches, Ellis and Palmer-Brown have played sideby-side in central defense. May 31 was the first time in team history that Sporting KC’s lineup featured two Homegrown Players on the field together in an MLS game. In the duo’s second outing together on June 6, Sporting KC shut out the Houston Dynamo at BBVA Compass Stadium and Ellis earned MLS Player of the Week honors for the first time in his career. Palmer-Brown earned his MLS debut and first start for the club at Chicago on May 18, becoming the youngest player in MLS history to start a regular season match as a defender.

Sporting Park attendance at Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup matches has also been strong. The turnout of 15,307 at Sporting KC’s fourth round win on June 18 was the highest announced attendance in the 2014 U.S. Open Cup thus far. In fact, it was the seventh best-attended U.S. Open Cup match dating back to 2011. Since then, Sporting Park has played host to six of the 10 best-attended U.S. Open Cup matches.

Down a man, Sporting KC goes two goals up in Houston Sporting KC was reduced to 10 players at the Houston Dynamo on June 6 when Antonio Dovale was sent off in the 21st minute, the earliest red card ever received by a KC player. Yet Sporting KC emerged victorious with a 2-0 win, marking the first time Sporting KC scored a game-winning goal while playing down a man on the road. Soony Saad scored the game-winner just before halftime and Dom Dwyer added a penalty kick in the 70th minute. Only two other times in team history—May 1, 2004 in a 2-0 home win over Colorado and March 26, 2011 in a 3-2 road loss at Chicago—had Sporting KC netted twice in an MLS match while at a numerical disadvantage after a red card.

Sporting KC news & Notes (cont.) CONCACAF Champions League opponents determined

Summer in the Soccer Capital series of events continues

CONCACAF conducted the offical draw for the 2014-15 CONCACAF Champions League on May 28, placing Sporting KC in Group 2 alongside Deportivo Saprissa (Costa Rica) and Real Esteli FC (Nicaragua).

Sporting KC’s Summer in the Soccer Capital series of events continues with official 2014 FIFA World Cup watch parties at KC Live! in the Power & Light District. Summer in the Soccer Capital, presented by The Sprint Framily Plan, is headlined by Sporting KC’s international friendly against English Premier League Champions Manchester City on July 23, 8 p.m. at Sporting Park. Manchester City’s roster includes 11 players who made their native countries’ 23-man squads for the World Cup.

Deportivo Saprissa has won three CONCACAF Champions Cup titles (1993, 1995 and 2005) and features five players on Costa Rica’s roster for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. In May, Saprissa won their 30th league title in the Torneo de Verano final to become the most successful club in the history of the Costa Rican Primera Division. Real Esteli, the defending Clausura and Apertura champions in their domestic league, are the only Nicaraguan side to have participated in the competition and have qualified every year since the 2008-09 edition. Real Esteli will meet Sporting KC in the group stage for a second straight year after going 0-3-1 during the 2013-14 tournament. 2014-15 CONCACAF Champions League group stage fixtures will be played from August to October, with each group winner advancing to the knockout stage in spring 2015.

Paying the penalty Sporting KC has conceded five penalty kicks through 14 matches this season, already fifth-most most for a single season in franchise history. The team conceded seven penalties in 1998 and 2007 and six penalties in 2000 and 2006. This follows a league-wide trend, as 71 penalty kicks have been awarded through 137 MLS matches (0.52 per game, as of June 24). The whole 2013 regular season had 81 penalties (0.25 per game), while the entire 2012 campaign had just 72 penalties (0.22 per game).

Red cards rising Sporting KC has suffered six red cards and received four during the 2014 season. The combined 10 ejections through 15 matches already equal the club’s 2013 total. Much like penalty kicks, red card numbers have increased league-wide this season. An average of 0.32 red cards have been shown per game (through June 24), up from 0.24 in 2013 and 0.18 in 2012.

Late-game goals hurting Sporting KC In three of Sporting KC’s five MLS losses, the opponent has scored the game winner in the 81st minute or later. Seattle grabbed a 94th-minute goal on March 8, Teal Bunbury struck a 92nd-minute winner on April 26, and Cristian Maidana scored in the 81st minute to give Philadelphia a 2-1 win on May 14. Sporting KC also conceded stoppage time equalizers to FC Dallas on March 15 and Toronto FC on May 23. The team has dropped seven points in the final 10 minutes of action plus stoppage time in 2014.

Loanees contributing to OKC Energy FC unbeaten streak Sporting KC has partnered with USL PRO clubs Orlando City SC and OKC Energy FC for the 2014 season. As part of the agreement, Sporting KC will loan players to the clubs to play games and gain experience throughout the year. After losing seven of their first nine matches of the 2014 USL PRO season, OKC Energy FC is unbeaten in five games and just one spot outside the league playoff picture (4-7-3, 15 points). Homegrown goalkeeper Jon Kempin has pitched two straight shutouts and lowered his goals allowed average from 2.5 to 1.5 over the last four games. Midfielder Christian Duke has contributed three assists as a regular starter, and midfielder Mikey Lopez has played the full 90 minutes in three straight matches.

Miscellaneous 2014 regular season stats • Sporting KC leads MLS in possession percentage (58.29%) and is second in total passes (6,839), successful passes (5,615) and passing accuracy (82.1%). • Sporting KC leads MLS with 34 chances created from set play, seven more than any other team. • Sporting KC leads MLS with 90 successful crosses/corners. • Sporting KC’s six clean sheets are tied for second most in MLS. • Sporting KC has conceded the fewest shots per game in MLS (9.2). • Sporting KC’s three road wins are tied for second-most in MLS.
