HOUSTON DYNAMO vs SPORTING KANSAS CITY BBVA COMPASS STADIUM, Houston, Texas May 7, 2016 (WEEK 10; MLS Game #92) 7:30 p.m. CT (ROOT-SW Alt; KMCI-38 / SKCTVN) A key contest in the Western Conference for a pair of clubs looking to reverse recent trends is ahead on Saturday evening when the Houston Dynamo play host to Sporting Kansas City at BBVA Compass Stadium. The Dynamo saw their winless streak extended to six games with a third loss in a row last weekend, falling 2-1 at Real Salt Lake. Sporting have now gone five games without a win with a second successive draw last Sunday, reaching a 1-1 result with the LA Galaxy at Children’s Mercy Park. REFEREE: Drew Fischer.

It was the first victory for the home team in the series in nine matches, since a Dynamo home win in 2012.  Each team won at the other’s home ground in the two matchups in 2014. Sporting won 2-0 at BBVA Compass Stadium on June 6, then the Dynamo returned the favor with a 3-1 victory Aug. 29 at Sporting Park. Sporting’s last win at home in the series came in 2011, winless in their first meetings at Children’s Mercy Park (0-1-4).  The teams met three consecutive seasons in the MLS Cup Playoffs from 2011-13, the Dynamo advancing in the first two meetings before SKC triumphed in the last. The 2011 and 2013 meetings were for the Eastern Conference Championship; both clubs find themselves in the Western Conference beginning this season.  Coaches record: Peter Vermes vs. HOU: P16 W4 L4 D8 … Owen Coyle vs. KC: P3 W1 L0 D2 HOUSTON DYNAMO The Houston Dynamo saw their winless streak stretched to six matches with a third consecutive defeat, dropping a 2-1 decision to Real Salt Lake on Saturday evening at Rio Tinto Stadium. The Dynamo are in 10th place in the Western Conference with 5 points from 8 games. LAST MATCH  The Dynamo took the lead in the 54th minute when Giles Barnes corraled a loose ball and found Leonel Miranda at the top of the box, whose shot took a deflection off a defender's arm and found its way into the goal.  But Real were level just eight minutes when Justen Glad made a nice turn at the top of the penalty area to feed Jordan Allen for a rocket which sailed into the back of the net for the equalizer.  Eight minutes later, RSL turned possession into a great team goal when Demar Phillips sent a great low cross into the penalty area from the wing for Yura Movsisyan to slide into and knock home for the winner.  Dynamo head coach Owen Coyle made two changes to the team that fell by the game’s only goal in a loss to Columbus Crew SC at Mapfre Stadium. Joe Willis came in between the posts for the suspended Tyler Deric, and Leonel Miranda started in midfield for Alex.  HOUSTON DYNAMO (4-2-3-1): Joe Willis - Sheanon Williams, Raul Rodriguez, Agus, DaMarcus Beasley (Cristian Maidana 83) - Collen Warner (Will Bruin 75), Ricardo Clark - Andrew Wenger, Boniek Garcia (Erick Torres 83), Leonel Miranda - Giles Barnes.

MLS GAME INFORMATION

TEAM NEWS  The Dynamo saw their winless streak extended to six matches with a third consecutive defeat, the club’s longest stretch without a victory since the 2014 season. The club record is 10 games without a win, set in 2010.  “Even at 2-1 we were still pushing on to get the equalizer and had some wonderful chances. … We didn’t change anything. We still kept pushing on and a couple of individual errors cost us dearly,” said Dynamo head coach Owen Coyle.  The Dynamo scored one goal in a game for the third time in the last five matches, the other two being shutouts. The Dynamo have scored three goals total since scoring an MLS-record 11 goals over their first three games.  “I think we’ve shown today that we can play and we can create chances and we can certainly score goals. … We’re feeling a little bit hard done not to leave with anything, but we know if we continue to perform and cut out the little mistakes, which we have to do, because if we cut them out, then we will win a few games,” said Coyle.  The loss was a second of the season for the Dynamo after scoring the opening goal, the most of any team in MLS this season (also with one draw after scoring first). The Dynamo have failed to hold the lead in the second half on each occasion.  “It just comes down to individual mistakes these last few results. How much the team just kind of needs a break to go their way before they string together some results. That’s exactly it,” said goalkeeper Joe Willis. “We’re waiting for that break. We’re putting so much effort into every game and we’re coming away with nothing every time and it’s really disheartening. It’s tough to figure out what exactly we’re doing wrong, because for the most part we have good shape. We put so much effort into it that I think we need a lucky break to go our way to kind of turn the tide.”  Leonel Miranda scored his first goal of the season, his first since last Sept. 26 of last season, his third goal in his second MLS campaign.  Giles Barnes recorded his first assist of the season, playing the full 90 minutes for a third consecutive match, lined up as the lone out-and-out striker.  “It’s not the result we wanted, but we wanted to stick together. We’ve got to stay united. We really believe what we have here. It’s just waiting for that break, but we still got a lot of games left and we got a lot of belief in this change room,” said Barnes. SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City had their winless skein stretched to five matches with a second consecutive draw, reaching a 1-1 result with the LA Galaxy on Sunday evening at Children’s Mercy Park. Sporting are in sixth place in the Western Conference with 14 points from 10 games. LAST MATCH  Sporting took the lead on the half-hour. Matt Besler sent a long diagonal ball to Graham Zusi, who cushioned a header into the path of Brad Davis along the right flank, and he cut inside the area before curling the ball past the outstretched goalkeeeper and just inside the far post.  But the Galaxy drew level in the 42nd minute on a swift counterattack. Gyasi Zardes spread a pass wide to Giovani dos Santos on the right, raced into the penalty area before chipping past SKC goalkeeper Tim Melia in a world-class finish.  The Galaxy finished a man down after fullback Ashley Cole saw two yellow cards in less than a minute's time from referee Chris Penso, but honors still ended even.  Sporting manager Peter Vermes made six changes to the team that reached a 1-1 draw with Vancouver Whitecaps FC at BC Place. Tim Melia came back in between the posts in place of Alec Kann, and Graham Zusi, Ike Opara, Seth Sinovic, Dom Dwyer and Brad Davis all came into the side, replacing Saad Abdul-Salaam, Amadou Dia, Lawrence Olum, Diego Rubio and Connor Hallisey.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Tim Melia - Graham Zusi, Ike Opara, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic - Nuno Andre Coelho - Benny Feilhaber, Roger Espinoza - Jimmy Medranda (Justin Mapp 82), Dom Dwyer, Brad Davis. TEAM NEWS  Sporting had their winless streak extended to five matches with a second consecutive draw – both of which have come after opponents have seen a player sent off.  The draw also extended Sporting’s winless run at Children’s Mercy Park to three matches, following losses in each of their last two home games.  “Whenever you’re a man up, the team winds up just really bunkering down and in their mentality, they become galvanized,” SKC manager Peter Vermes said. “They become a wall. And a lot of times, I’d rather play 11-v-11, because it ends up being a very difficult proposition to break them down, and it’s hard to get anything through there. We had great movement in and around the box, and the chances were there. We didn’t give them anything, but at the end of the day, we didn’t score. But you can’t take away how well we played today. I think we’re doing more than enough to get something.”

Said midfielder Benny Feilhaber: “I think 'frustrating' is the word to describe the fact that we didn't get three points, but if you look at our last three games, it is something to build on. I thought we played really well with good intensity. We went into the games with good attitudes and followed the game plan. The last three games we've done well, and are unfortunate to only pick up two points in three games but that's how it is in MLS some times. Other times you don't play so well and you pick up nine in three. We have just to keep on going and the points will come, for sure.” Brad Davis scored his second goal of the season, his first since March 20, making a third start in the last four matches. Vermes ran out all three available center backs, with Nuno Andre Coelho filling a deep-lying central midfield role in front of Ike Opara and Matt Besler. Graham Zusi filled a right-sided wingback role with Seth Sinovic on the left. “I thought for us to get more numbers in and around the box, we have to be able to sometimes play different than we usually do with our 4-3-3. I thought the guys executed very well with very little time spent trying to work on it,” said Vermes. “But it's not that big of a variation from what we normally play, but I think we adapted well. We really achieved some great moments in the game through that formation.” Seth Sinovic started his first match of the season, coming in at left back and playing the full 90 minutes. Sinovic had made one substitute appearance, on April 17 vs. FC Dallas, totaling 20 minutes. Zusi returned to the starting lineup after a one-match absence and collected his third assist of the season. “We had a lot of veteran men on the field tonight, because we had a lot of guys coming back from injury, and so we were able to change the team around in a way that we got our older, veteran type of guys, which really changed the game. … LA is they're a very experienced, older veteran type of team, and I wanted to make sure we matched that on the field. I also think it was important for us to get the right people on the ball and in positions where we thought we would have the ball. And I think we were good from that perspective,” said Vermes.

GAME 8

HOUSTON DYNAMO (1-5-2; 5 pts.) vs. SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-4-2; 14 pts.) Saturday, May 7, 2016 · 7:30 PM CDT · BBVA Compass Stadium (22,000) · Houston, Texas

DYNAMO HOST RIVAL SPORTING KANSAS CITY The Houston Dynamo try to end a six-game winless streak on Saturday against rival Sporting Kansas City. The Dynamo dropped their fourth road game of the season, a 2-1 defeat at Real Salt Lake on Saturday as MF Leonel Miranda scored his first goal of the season. But Real Salt Lake received goals from FW Jordan Allen and Yura Movsisyan within 16 minutes of Miranda's opener for a 2-1 win. The Dynamo had a wonderful chance to equalize, but RSL GK Nick Rimando produced a stunning double save, diving far to his left to deny Miranda his second of the night, then quickly reacting to MF Andrew Wenger's follow-up from six yards with a save off his face. Following the match, head coach Owen Coyle pointed to the Dynamo's individual mistakes. “It was, I think, self-inflicted," Coyle said. "Nick Rimando has probably already had the save of the season, at 2-1 from Andrew Wenger...(Boniek Garcia) should have just cleared the danger, so that’s not something that we encourage, dribbling about at the edge of your own box. And we got punished for it. When you sense danger, the ball has got to be cleared. It’s as simple as that." Houston is 8-5-10 all-time in the regular season against Sporting KC, with a 4-3-5 mark in home games. The clubs meet only twice this year, with the Dynamo set to visit Kansas City on September 9.

THE LAST TIME THEY MET

HOUSTON METHODIST INJURY REPORT *Report as of May 4

HOUSTON (September 23, 2015) – For the fourth time this season, the Houston Dynamo went down a man against Sporting Kansas City. For the first time, they made a lead hold up by grinding out a 1-0 win in a midweek match.

None.

It took 67 minutes but the Dynamo finally broke the deadlock courtesy of Will Bruin, who was the beneficiary of some pinpoint work between World Cup veterans Brad Davis and the returning DaMarcus Beasley. The pair played a give-and-go on the left side to set Beasley to the end line, and Beasley cut around a lunging Chance Myers before hitting a low cross that found Bruin all alone at the back post for a tap in. It was Bruin’s club-leading 11th goal of the season.

DYNAMO VS. SPORTING KC SERIES Saturday marks the 24th all-time meeting between the Dynamo and Sporting KC. Houston holds a 8-5-10 edge in the series, including a 4-3-5 mark in home games.

Two minutes later the Dynamo were put behind the eight ball. After seeing a yellow card just before half time, Boniek García, starting his first game at right back for the club, brought his hands up while trying to shield Dom Dwyer from the ball. Referee Sorin Stoica showed García a second yellow for an early exit to leave Houston to finish with 10 men.

DYNAMO vs. SPORTING KC, ALL-TIME (8-5-10)

Date

Houston have had a red card ejection in all four of their meetings with Sporting KC this year, including their US Open Cup battle.

4/8/2006 7/15/2006 6/24/2007 9/1/2007 4/12/2008 9/7/2008 7/4/2009 10/4/2009 5/1/2010 9/22/2010 7/16/2011 9/10/2011 7/7/2012 7/18/2012 9/14/2012 5/12/2013 5/26/2013 10/9/2013 6/6/2014 8/29/2014 4/25/2015 8/1/2015 9/23/2015

The Dynamo lead held up, however, giving them the full three points in their quest for a postseason berth. Houston move to 38 points in the standings and three out of the final playoff spot. Kansas City remain on 44 points and in fifth in the Western Conference. Benny Feilhaber received an 88th minute yellow card for dissent which will rule him out of Sunday’s playoff contenders clash with the Seattle Sounders at home. Kansas City were not much better. Struggling to get a foot on the ball, the visitors did not spend much time in the final third and came closest when a free kick came off the stomach of Kevin Ellis and forced Tyler Deric into action. Not technically a shot on goal, the scoreless opening stanza ended without one. Houston came close to finding the opener six minutes into the second half. On their first dangerous foray into the final third of the night, Barnes sent a long ball in that got past a sliding Bruin. Davis got to the loose ball at the end line to square to Ricardo Clark, but his shot was blocked by Feilhaber three feet in front of goal. In the 62nd minute, Leonel Miranda released Clark down the left sideline with a nifty back heel. The center midfielder’s ensuing cross found Barnes, but Tim Melia was in good position to deflect the shot and scrambled to shut down a chipped effort from Davis.

BRAD DAVIS RETURNS

HOUSTON-KANSAS CITY SPORTS RIVALRY

Former Dynamo captain Brad Davis will face the Dynamo for the first time after spending the last 10 seasons with the club, making him the longest-tenured player in MLS at the time of his trade to Sporting Kansas City on January 7.

Houston and Kansas City are separated by 650 miles but have developed a playoff rivalry across three professional sports. Since 2011, Houston and Kansas City teams have met in the playoffs five times, including three playoff encounters for the Dynamo and Sporting KC (2011-13), along with the cities' NFL and MLB clubs. The chart below details the playoff history between the cities:

“At this point in my career it is time for a change, a new challenge,” Davis said in a statement on the day of the trade, “The opportunity came about to be closer to home and it has always been a dream to play professionally in front of my family. This decision was not an easy one, but one I needed to make. At the end of the day, it was mutually agreed upon by the staff and me and I cannot thank them enough for their support. I would like to say thank you to all the fans that welcomed my family to Houston and for all the support over the years. A huge part of me will always be Forever Orange.”

2016 2015 2013 2012 2011

Davis, 34, is Houston’s all-time leader in games (328), assists (120), starts (302) and minutes (25,985 in all competitions). The St. Charles, Mo. native helped the club win MLS Cups in 2006 and 2007 and reach two additional MLS Cup Finals in 2011 and 2012. The original Dynamo also holds club records for playoff appearances (27), starts (26) and assists (9). The 14-year MLS veteran is third on the league’s all-time assists (122) and games (368) lists.

Remarkably, the Dynamo were issued a red card in all four meetings in all competitions last season (Jermaine Taylor, Luis Garrido, Nate Sturgis and Boniek Garcia, respectively).

Saturday's game is the 21st in all competitions between Houston and Sporting Kansas City since the 2011 season. The clubs battled to a thrilling 4-4 draw on April 28, 2015 at BBVA Compass Stadium, with Sporting KC erasing 3-1 and 4-3 deficits for a road point as Giles Barnes and Benny Feilhaber each scored two goals.

Sporting KC has controlled the recent series, with a 6-2-4 mark in the last 12 meetings and 8-5-7 record since the start of 2011. The former Eastern Conference rivals played 10 games from 2012-13, including four playoff games.

The Saint Louis University product won four consecutive Dynamo MVP awards from 2009-12 and was runner up for MLS MVP in 2011 after tallying a career-high 16 assists. The former Dynamo captain has earned 17 caps with the U.S. men’s national team, including a start against Germany in the final group stage game at the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

Sporting KC snapped Houston’s MLS record 36-game home undefeated streak with a 1-0 win at BBVA Compass Stadium on May 12, 2013. The Dynamo have met Sporting KC in the postseason four times (2007, 2011, 2012, 2013), more than any other opponent.

MATCH DAY FORECAST

Davis left a mark in Houston with his charitable efforts through Banded Brigade Outdoors, which provides morale-boosting events for returning members of the U.S. Armed Forces. Davis, along with former teammate Tally Hall, led Armed Forces Appreciation Night, which generated over 2,000 donated tickets to armed forces members for a game surrounding Independence Day each season.

The Dynamo are unique among Houston professional teams in that they are the only ones whose matches are played at the mercy of Mother Nature. With no retractable roof available like our friends in baseball and football, and unable to play in a basketball arena, the weather forecast is vitally important.

As of Monday, the forecast on Weather.com calls for highs in the mid 70s and mostly sunny conditions on Saturday atthe 7:30p.m. kickoff, with just a 1 percent chance of rain. Fans can enter to win VIP experiences from the Dynamo courtesy of Frontier Energy by correctly guessing the temperature at kickoff.

UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT

SCOUTING SPORTING KC

After spending their first decade under the auspices of Anschutz Entertainment Group, the Houston Dynamo are under new leadership in 2016. Friday's match marked the first time the Dynamo have faced LA Galaxy without the two clubs existing under the same ownership umbrella.

Sporting Kansas City has reached the MLS Cup Playoffs in five consecutive seasons. After winning the 2013 MLS Cup, Sporting KC has lost in the Knockout Round match in each of the last two seasons, including an excruciating penalty shootout defeat at Portland last year.

A group led by Gabriel Brener, CEO of Brener International Group, LLC, acquired AEG’s interests in the Dynamo, the NWSL’s Houston Dash and BBVA Compass Stadium on Dec. 15, the 10th anniversary of the team’s arrival in Houston on Dec. 15, 2005.

The core of last year’s team remains, including forward Dom Dwyer, who has 38 goals in 73 games since the start of the 2014 season. Midfielder Benny Feilhaber was nominated for MLS MVP and earned Best XI honors after recording 12 goals and a club-record 20 assists in all competitions last season. U.S. national team regulars Matt Besler (defender) and Graham Zusi (midfielder) remain key parts of manager Peter Vermes’ team.

Having served as a minority owner of the Dynamo since 2008, Brener, a native of Mexico and successful entrepreneur, will lead the ownership group comprised of three other investors: Oscar De La Hoya, also currently a minority partner of the club, as well as Portland-based investor Jake Silverstein and Houston businessman Ben Guill.

A key departure was Hungary national team forward Krisztian Nemeth, who tallied 10 goals and six assists last year, along with MLS Goal of the Year, but was sold to Al-Gharafa in Qatar in January.

Brener is the only Mexican-born owner of a professional sports franchise in America.

Sporting KC started the season 3-0 but is 1-4-2 in its last seven games and currently sit in sixth place in the Western Conference.

COYLE MAKES FIVE CHANGES Houston Dynamo head coach Owen Coyle promised to make changes after a 4-1 home loss to the LA Galaxy on April 15 .Coyle added five new faces to the lineup for the game against Columbus on April 23. Adding players who remained in the Starting XI but lined up in different positions, seven of the 11 positions on the team sheet had a new name in them from the week prior.

12 GOING ON 50

Two players made their Dynamo debuts in Columbus on April 23: D Agus García and MF Collen Warner. Here's more information on their playing history.

Dynamo forward Will Bruin has scored three goals and registered two assists in six appearances this season.

Agus signed with the Dynamo on Jan. 27 from Albacete in Spain’s Segunda A (Second Division). The left-sided central defender was born in Bonete and rose through the Albacete academy before transferring to Real Madrid at age 20 in 2005 and playing for Real Madrid B. Agus has captained several clubs during his career and his playing resume includes stops with Celta Vigo, Cordoba, Alcorón, Orduspor (Turkey) and Mallorca. Agus played for Spain at the 2005 FIFA U-20 World Cup in the Netherlands.

His three goals give him 49 in MLS regular-season action for his career, meaning that his next goal would put him at a half-century in MLS action.

Warner, 27, was acquired in a trade with Toronto FC on March 2. He has made 144 career appearances (105 starts), including playoffs, across seven MLS seasons. The central midfielder appeared in at least 29 regular-season games in three of the last four seasons. He tallied two goals and two assists in 29 games (20 starts) to help Toronto FC reach the playoffs for the first time in club history last year. Warner was selected No. 15 overall by Real Salt Lake in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft out of the University of Portland. The Colorado native set a career-high with 27 starts for the Montreal Impact in 2012 and notched a career-best five assists with Real Salt Lake in 2011. Warner appeared in all four matches to help the Impact win the 2013 Amway Canadian Championship. He has been a part of playoff teams in four of the last six seasons, making two playoff appearances, including a start against the Dynamo in the 2013 Eastern Conference Knockout Round. He has appeared in five CONCACAF Champions League games, including three with Montreal in 2013 and two with Real Salt Lake in 2010.

FLOODING IN THE BAYOU CITY Houston experienced significant flooding for the second time in 12 months when a huge storm swept through southeast Texas late on April 15 and into the following morning, causing the worst flooding in 15 years. The Dynamo were forced to cancel training last Monday due to the storm, but that was a minor inconvenience compared to what many of their fellow Houstonians dealt with. Between 16-20 inches of rain fell in a 24-hour period in the wettest areas while more than 1,000 homes flooded. Both Houston airports were shut down and several major freeways and thoroughfares flooded. It was Houston's worst rain event since Tropical Storm Allison in 2001 and largest major storm since a similar weather system hit the Bayou City last Memorial Day. Dynamo and Dash players, along with front-office staff, will volunteer at the Houston Food Bank Wednesday packing boxes of food which will be distributed to flood victims at Red Cross shelters throughout Harris County.

WILL BRUIN'S BUSY OFFSEASON

known.

Dynamo forward Will Bruin was a finalist for MLS Player of the Month in March after a fast start to the season, scoring three goals and adding two assists as the Dynamo set a Major League Soccer record with 11 goals through three matches. The beginning seemed fitting for a 26-year-old who struck the trifecta during the short offseason: Marriage, buying his first house, and signing a new multi-year contract with the only professional club he's

"If you would have told me when I got drafted down here I'd be married and bought a house in Houston in my sixth year I would have said, 'We'll see'" said Bruin. "But I've lived here longer than anywhere except being raised in St. Louis, so this is home for Katelyn and I, this is where we've started our life and planted our roots." Bruin wedded his college sweetheart Katelyn, a former volleyball player at Indiana University, in December, days after the ink dried on his new Dynamo contract. The newlyweds closed on their first house early in preseason and left Midtown for a home in the popular Houston Heights neighborhood in February. "Houston is home," Bruin said. "Now that the Rams are gone (to Los Angeles), I'm going to have to go get a Texans jersey. We'll see who I get, maybe Whitney Mercilus. The Texans are my new team now." The move from Midtown to the Heights brings a change in demographic, with a slightly older, family-friendly setting, fewer nightlife options for 20-somethings and an old-time neighborhood feel. "I love the Heights. My wife is from a small town in Indiana called Springport, population of about 5,000. So when she says it feels like a small town, that means something. I love the community; it feels tight knit. You drive around and see families walking their dogs, just doing family things. It really has a small-town feel to it while living in a big city." Bruin's offseason also included an intentional involvement with the Dynamo supporters' groups, including two Supporters' Summit meetings along with teammate Tyler Deric and former stars Wade Barrett, Brian Ching and Eddie Robinson. The players worked with the supporters to move the groups from the Walker End of BBVA Compass Stadium to the north end, allowing the supporters to grow in numbers in a larger space. "In the grand scheme of things the fans basically run the league," Bruin said. "They are paying their hard-earned money to watch us perform and without them there would be no team and there would be no league. I think it's very important to have a good relationship with them and I know I'm a love-hate guy, but I think I put off the wrong persona, per se, my first few years in the league." (The full edition of this story appears in the April edition of the Forever Orange matchday magazine.

HOUSTON RATED NO. 2 SOCCER MARKET IN AMERICA

DYNAMO PLAYING TO STRONG HOME CROWDS EARLY

Houston has a large and loyal soccer fan base, not only for the Dynamo, but for teams around the world. In fact, in March the well-respected soccer marketing organization Gilt Edge Soccer Marketing conducted a study which rated Space City as the No. 2 soccer market in America.

The Dynamo hosted four of their first seven games and rank seventh among MLS teams in average home attendance in 2016.

LARGEST AVERAGE ATTENDANCE, MLS TEAMS

The methodology utilized to develop the study was specifically created to consider a broad range of factors addressing all the different types of soccer fan and soccer interests that exist in the U.S. Collectively a total of 22 different data sets were evaluated and provided via independent sources including: Scarborough, Google, Facebook, Twitter, FoxSoccer. com, MLS, US Soccer, MLS, NASL, NWSL, and USL.

Team Seattle Sounders FC Orlando City SC LA Galaxy New York City FC Montreal Impact Vancouver Whitecaps FC Houston Dynamo Portland Timbers Sporting Kansas City Real Salt Lake

The study assessed fans’ consumption of soccer across five areas: playing, watching, attending, conversing and searching. With the Dynamo, the Dash of NWSL and a 70,000-seat NFL stadium in town that has hosted multiple major international matches and will soon host three matches in the Copa America Centenario, Houston ranks well across many categories including aggregate attendance (5th) and overall Scarborough attendance (6th).

O CAPTAIN, MY CAPTAIN With the departure of original Dynamo and team captain Brad Davis via trade in January, Houston found itself in need of a player to wear the armband on a permanent basis in 2016. Enter MF Giles Barnes.

Facebook keyword activity is notably strong with Major League Soccer (5th), Liga MX (2nd), Mexican National Team (4th), and UEFA Champions League (5th). A 6th place ranking for Scarborough soccer television viewership also helped to round out an impressive showing for Houston.

Barnes was named captain by head coach Owen Coyle prior to the season opener vs. New England on March 6, but the Jamaia international made it a point to emphasize that leadership in the dressing room is not the sole responsibility of any one player. “For me, it’s an honor to be able to lead this team, and for the franchise, the coaches, the other staff to put their trust in me to lead the team,” Barnes told HoustonDynamo.com. “But I can’t do it without my teammates, so there’s going to be 28 captains out there because we all have exactly the same goal and so everyone has to be pulling in the same direction.”

GAME 8

DYNAMO HEAD COACH OWEN COYLE Owen Coyle was named the Dynamo’s second head coach in team history on Dec. 9, 2014. Coyle came to the Dynamo after playing and managing in the upper levels of English and Scottish soccer for nearly 30 years. A native of Paisley, Scotland, Coyle earned his first full managerial post with St. Johnstone of the Scottish First Division in April 2005. In 2006-07, Coyle led St. Johnstone to the semifinals of both the Scottish Cup and the Scottish League Cup. Coyle took the Saints to the brink of promotion to the Scottish Premier League in both 2006 and 2007, finishing as runners-up both years. Coyle took charge at English Championship side Burnley F.C. in November 2007 and led the squad to its highest points total in eight years. The following year, the Scotsman took Burnley to the League Cup semifinals, knocking out Premier League clubs Fulham, Chelsea and Arsenal on their way. The same season, Coyle took the Clarets to the Premier League themselves after winning the promotion playoff final 1-0 over Sheffield United at Wembley Stadium. The victory marked a return to the top flight for Burnley after a 33-year absence, and just two seasons removed from flirting with relegation at the bottom half of the Championship. Upon their arrival in the Premiership in 2009, Coyle led the Clarets to victories in each of their first four home matches, including a 1-0 opening day win against defending champions Manchester United. One of Coyle’s former clubs from his playing days, Bolton Wanderers, took an eye to his success at Burnley and tabbed him as their manager in January 2010. Coyle’s first signing for Bolton was former Dynamo star Stuart Holden, who was named the club’s Player of the Year after his first full season in 2011. He signed another American, Tim Ream, in January 2012. Coyle also managed Arsenal’s Jack Wilshere and Chelsea’s Daniel Sturridge on loan spells during his time with Bolton. Coyle took over Wanderers with the club mired in 18th place, but lifted the team out of the relegation zone and into a 14th place finish in 2010. His first full season with Bolton, 2010-11, saw the team reach the FA Cup semifinals and stay in the top half of the Premier League for the majority of the season before dropping from 9th to 14th after a 2-0 loss to Manchester City on the final day of the season. Bolton struggled in the next season and finished in 18th place, ending their time in the Premier League. Coyle and Bolton had up-and-down start to the 2012-13 Championship season, resulting in Coyle being relieved of his duties in October of 2012. Coyle joined Wigan Athletic in June 2013 and had mixed results in the first half of the Championship, but a run of four defeats and disagreements with the owner led to his leaving the post in December 2013. As a player, Coyle scored 297 goals in over 600 appearances in Scotland and England. He began his career with Dumbarton in 1985, then made moves to Clydebank and Airdrieonians before landing with Bolton. There, he was part of the squad that won promotion to the Premier League in 1995. From Bolton, Coyle made stops at Dundee United, Motherwell, Dunfermline Athletic and a return trip at Airdrieonians. Coyle then took player-coach roles at Falkirk, Dundee United and Airdrie United before a final stop at St. Johnstone from 200507. Even after taking on managerial roles full-time, Coyle made occasional appearances as an emergency player, playing for Burnley Reserves and even scoring in a friendly for Bolton at the age of 44. Although born in Scotland, Coyle has Irish heritage and made one appearance for the Republic of Ireland, a substitute appearance against the Netherlands in April 1994.

Sporting KC Game Notes | May 7, 2016 at Houston Dynamo | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #HOUvSKC: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#HOUvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS

A fierce MLS rivalry is renewed Saturday as Sporting KC (4-4-2, 14 pts) travels to face the Houston Dynamo (1-5-2, 5 pts) at BBVA Compass Stadium. The clubs have squared off 20 times in all competitions since the beginning of 2011, with Sporting KC holding an 8-5-7 record. This stretch includes five playoff games (2011-2013) and a pair of Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup ties played in 2011 and 2015. Houston holds an 8-5-10 record in the regular season series, including a 4-3-5 mark at home. Sporting KC has just two wins in the last 11 regular season meetings since 2012 (2-3-6 record), but the home team in the fixture has just one win in the last nine regular season clashes (1-3-5). Sporting KC and Houston met four times across all competitions in 2015. Houston went 1-0-2 in the regular season, while Sporting KC eliminated the Dynamo from the 2015 U.S. Open Cup, winning 3-1 in the quarterfinals at Children’s Mercy Park, en route to lifting the title. Manager Peter Vermes’ men scored 10 goals in those four games, including nine after the 70th minute of play. Multiple players have stamped their name on the rivalry in recent years, with opposing forwards Dom Dwyer and Will Bruin both scoring at an impressive rate. Dwyer has six goals in his last seven appearances against the Dynamo, while Bruin has bagged four in his last five against Sporting KC (all competitions). Sporting KC’s Benny Feilhaber tallied three goals against Houston last year in all competitions, while Giles Barnes enjoyed a breakout game with two goals in a remarkable 4-4 draw at BBVA Compass Stadium on April 25, 2015. #HOUvSKC: Recent meetings in all competitions

Sporting KC Game Notes | May 7, 2016 at Houston Dynamo | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES SPORTING KC TRENDING UPWARD DESPITE WINLESS SKID DWYER ON THE BRINK OF 50 GOALS When the full-time whistle sounded Sunday night at Children’s Mercy Park, Sporting Kansas City founds themselves in a recently familiar position. Manager Peter Vermes’ side held a distinct edge in possession, shots and chances created, but statistical dominance had failed to produce a win. Such has been the nature of Sporting Kansas City’s current five-game winless streak (0-3-2).

Sporting KC forward Dom Dwyer has 49 goals in all competitions since joining the club out of the 2012 MLS SuperDraft. Scoring his 50th Sporting KC goal against Houston would be rather appropriate. The Englishman has scored in six of his last seven appearances against the Dynamo, including two at BBVA Compass Stadium. Dwyer’s six goals vs. Houston are his second most against a single MLS team.

Look no further than Sunday, where LA Galaxy entered the game head and shoulders above the rest of MLS with 2.43 goals per game. Bruce Arena’s side mustered just four shot attempts and created three chances, both of which were season lows. Meanwhile, Sporting KC had 17 shots and created 12 chances, continuing trend in which the team has controlled the run of play.

Dom Dwyer: 49 goals in all competitions By year: By competition Versus club (top 5) 2012: 0 Regular season: 40 Montreal: 7 2013: 4 Postseason: 2 Houston: 6 2014: 24 Open Cup: 5 FC Dallas: 5 2015: 17 Champions League: 2 Toronto FC: 4 2016: 4 NY Red Bulls: 4

During the club’s current five-game winless run, Sporting KC has out-shot its opponent in every match and created more chances in four. The last time Sporting KC out-shot five straight opponents and failed to win each game was 2006, and it’s happened only four total times in club history since the start of the non-shootout era (2000-present).

VERMES ON THE BRINK OF 100 MLS WINS

Sporting KC Manager Peter Vermes could win his 100th MLS match on Saturday (including playoffs). This would make him the sixth coach in MLS history to reach that milestone with a single team. Six of those wins have come against Houston, including one each in the 2012 and 2013 MLS Cup Playoffs.

ZUSI ON MLS TEAM OF THE WEEK ... AS A DEFENDER

Sporting KC’s Graham Zusi is no stranger to the MLS Team of the Week. But as a defender? Now that’s a different story. The four-time MLS All-Star may have been new to the right back position, but his dynamic performance in Sunday’s 1-1 draw against LA Galaxy suggested otherwise. Typically deployed as a winger in Sporting KC’s 4-3-3 setup, Zusi settled into a fullback role as part of Manager Peter Vermes’ revamped lineup at Children’s Mercy Park. The end result for the U.S. international was a stuffed stat sheet and a spot on MLSsoccer.com’s Team of the Week for Week 9.

ROAD TRIPPIN’

Sporting KC is amidst a stretch that will see the team play five of six matches on the road. The club embarked on a three-game road swing from April 17-27, facing FC Dallas (L 2-1), San Jose Earthquakes (L 1-0) and Vancouver Whitecaps FC (T 1-1). Peter Vermes’ men returned to Children’s Mercy Park on Sunday for a 1-1 draw with LA Galaxy, but now a two-game road trip awaits. The Houston Dynamo will play host on Saturday before Sporting KC visits Dick’s Sporting Goods Park to meet first-place Colorado Rapids on Wednesday.

Zusi tallied his third assist of the season in the 30th minute and created a gamehigh six chances while also keeping a high-powered Galaxy side at bay in the defensive third. LA mustered just four total shots and created three chances, both season lows, as Zusi contributed three recoveries and two clearances.

Following next week’s fixture with Colorado, Sporting KC returns to the friendly confines of Children’s Mercy Park for a three-game home stand against Orlando City SC (May 15), Real Salt Lake (May 21) and D.C. United (May 27).

Sporting KC midfielder Soni Mustivar was named to the Haiti Men’s National Team’s preliminary roster for the Copa America Centenario on Monday. The final 23-man roster will be announced by May 20.

Sporting KC’s 24 regular season road wins from 2012-2014 were the most over a three-year span during Major League Soccer’s non-shootout era (2000-present). Kansas City went 24-17-10 over that period, securing at least seven more road wins than any other team. Sporting KC’s travels in 2015 were less successful as the team went 4-9-4, their worst road record since 2008 (2-8-5).

MUSTIVAR ON HAITI’S PRELIMINARY COPA AMERICA SQUAD

Mustivar is one of three MLS players on the preliminary squad, joining Zachary Herivaux (New England Revolution) and Derrick Etienne (New York Red Bulls). Haiti will face Colombia in an international friendly on May 29 before competing in Group B of the Copa America Centenario against Peru (June 4), Brazil (June 8) and Ecuador (June 12).

BESLER & ZUSI ON PRELIMINARY COPA AMERICA ROSTER

U.S. Men’s National Team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann submitted the preliminary roster for the historic 2016 Copa America Centenario last Sunday, including Sporting KC defender Matt Besler and winger Graham Zusi among the 40-man squad. The U.S. will begin training camp May 16 in Miami, with MLS players joining the team on May 23 in advance of their Copa America opener against Colombia on June 3 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

A dual citizen of Haiti and France, Mustivar has made 11 international appearances for Haiti since debuting in 2013. He has earned three caps this year, including two World Cup qualifiers and a playoff win over Trinidad and Tobago that punched Les Grenadiers’ ticket to the Copa America.

Besler, 29, has earned 31 caps for the U.S. since debuting in January 2013, including two starts this year. He started all four matches at the 2014 FIFA World Cup and helped lead the Yanks to the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup title. The Kansas native has earned MLS Best XI (2012-13), MLS All-Star (2011, 201315) and 2012 MLS Defender of the Year honors since being selected in the 2009 MLS SuperDraft out of the University of Notre Dame.

Mustivar, 26, signed for Sporting KC before the 2015 season and was named the club’s Co-Defender of the Year in October. Last year he led MLS with more than six interceptions per 90 minutes played and boasted a 15-5-6 record as a starter across all competitions. Mustivar started the first four games of 2016 and has missed the last six matches with a hamstring injury, but was upgraded to questionable last week.

Zusi, 29, has made 33 international appearances since 2012 with four goals and six assists, including two assists at the 2014 FIFA World Cup. He competed at the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup and last month scored for the U.S. in a World Cup qualifying win over Guatemala. Zusi has garnered MLS All-Star (2012-15), MLS Best XI (2012-13) and 2011 MLS Breakout Player of the Year accolades since joining Besler as part of Sporting KC’s 2009 MLS SuperDraft class out of the University of Maryland. 3

Sporting KC Game Notes | May 7, 2016 at Houston Dynamo | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES (CONTINUED) LAST TIME OUT: DAVIS SCORES STUNNER IN 1-1 TIE WITH LA THREE TITLES IN FOUR YEARS Sporting KC extended its home unbeaten streak against LA Galaxy to eight games with a 1-1 draw last Sunday at Children’s Mercy Park. Midfielder Brad Davis fired Sporting KC ahead with a spectacular left-footed strike on the halfhour mark, but the visitors responded just before halftime with a well-taken finish from Giovani dos Santos on the counterattack. Children’s Mercy Park was sold out for the 75th consecutive MLS match as Sporting KC (4-4-2, 14 points) remained sixth in the Western Conference standings, one point behind fourthplace LA Galaxy (4-1-3, 15 points).

When Sporting KC lifted the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup last September, it became the fifth MLS club to win three major trophies in a four-year span since 2005, joining Seattle, D.C. United, LA Galaxy and Columbus Crew SC. Should Sporting KC add to its trophy haul in 2016, it would join LA as the only MLS clubs to win four titles in a five-year span since 2005. Sporting KC Seattle Sounders FC D.C. United LA Galaxy Columbus Crew SC

MAPP MAKES HIS DEBUT

Winger Justin Mapp made his Sporting KC debut in the 82nd minute of last Sunday’s 1-1 draw against LA Galaxy. In December, Mapp became the first Free Agent signing in Major League Soccer history after the League introduced free agency in the new Collective Bargaining Agreement in early 2015. He has recorded 23 goals and 70 assists in 319 MLS appearances (including postseason) since being drafted fourth overall in the 2002 MLS SuperDraft, and his 65 regular season assists rank third among active players in MLS.

DEFENDING THE OPEN CUP

Sporting KC enters the 2016 season as defending champions of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Peter Vermes’ side defeated the Philadelphia Union in a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw through regulation to win the 2015 final on Sept. 30, effectively securing a spot in the 2016-17 CONCACAF Champions League.

Mapp spent his rookie campaign at D.C. United before joining the Chicago Fire, where he helped the club reach the playoffs six times between 2003-2010. He left Chicago in July 2010, having won two Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups (2003, 2006) and a Supporters’ Shield title (2003) to go with MLS All-Star (2005) and MLS Best XI (2006) honors. Mapp spent 2012-2015 with the Montreal Impact, where he ranks second in club history with 21 MLS assists and fifth with 82 regular season appearances. In 2013 and 2014, Mapp tied MLS career-highs with eight assists and helped Montreal win consecutive Amway Canadian Championship titles, landing tournament MVP honors both times. He was an MLS All-Star in 2013 as Montreal made its first playoff appearance.

The Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup has been held annually since 1914 and is open to all amateur/professional soccer teams affiliated with U.S. Soccer. The knockout-style tournament is the oldest ongoing national soccer competition in the U.S. and the world’s third-longest running open soccer tournament. This year’s winner will earn $250,000 and a berth into the 2017-18 CONCACAF Champions League. Sporting KC has won the tournament on three occasions (2004, 2012, 2015), third-most among MLS clubs behind Seattle and Chicago who have four titles apiece. All 17 American MLS clubs will enter the 2016 Open Cup in the round of 32 in June.

NUNO THRIVING IN DEFENSE

Sporting KC center back Nuno Andre Coelho has been one of the club’s best performers through 10 games of the 2016 campaign. In addition to being the team’s only field player to feature in all 900 minutes of action, Coelho ranks second in MLS in successful passes (486), sixth in interceptions (35) and 10th in clearances (40). He is one of four MLS players (and two field players) to log 900 minutes entering the weekend. The 2016 season opener saw Coelho score on his MLS debut, firing a 30-yard attempt that skipped across the wet surface and under the mitts of Sounders keeper Stefan Frei in a 1-0 win at Seattle.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE ON THE HORIZON

A native of Penafiel, Portugal, Coelho has played more than 160 matches during a 12-year professional career in Europe, including seven appearances in the UEFA Champions League with Portuguese clubs SC Braga and FC Porto. He most recently played for Balikesirspor of the Turkish Super Lig during the 2014-15 season. He signed for Sporting KC in January to bring another defensive option for a back line that has lost center back Ike Opara to long-term injuries in each of the last two seasons.

Sporting KC joins the Portland Timbers (2015 MLS Cup winner), New York Red Bulls (2015 Supporters’ Shield winner), FC Dallas (2015 Western Conference first place finisher) and Vancouver Whitecaps FC (2015 Canadian Championship winner) as MLS representatives in the 2016-17 CONCACAF Champions League.

Courtesy of the club’s 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup championship, Sporting KC will compete in the group stage of the 2016-17 CONCACAF Champions League, set to begin in August. 2016 marks the third time in four years that Sporting KC has featured in the international competition, which involves the top clubs from North America, Central America and the Caribbean. The tournament winner will qualify as CONCACAF’s representative at the 2017 FIFA Club World Cup.

PETER THE GREAT

Last season Peter Vermes passed Bob Gansler as the winningest coach in Sporting KC history, ending 2015 with 90 regular season wins and 113 victories across all competitions. Vermes has coached 263 matches for Kansas City in all competitions with a 117-83-63 record, seven games shy of tying Gansler’s 270game record.

DAVIS BECOMES THE FIFTH TO 400

Winger Brad Davis became the fifth player in MLS history to reach 400 MLS appearances when Sporting KC faced FC Dallas on April 17. Davis is only the third field player to reach the milestone and the third active player to join the 400 club, alongside Real Salt Lake duo Nick Rimando and Kyle Beckerman.

Vermes’ 94 regular season victories are eighth most in MLS history and fourth most among active coaches behind Sigi Schmid (225), Bruce Arena (194) and Dominic Kinnear (156). Now in his eighth MLS season, Vermes ties Bob Gansler (1999-2006) as the club’s longest-tenured manager.

All-time MLS appearances (including playoffs) 1. Kevin Hartman 465 (416 regular season) Retired GK 2. Nick Rimando 434 (401 regular season) Active GK 3. Kyle Beckerman 417 (386 regular season) Active MID 4. Steve Ralston 412 (378 regular season) Retired MID 5. Brad Davis 403 (376 regular season) Active MID

Davis has recorded 60 goals and 131 assists (including postseason) during a 15year MLS career highlighted by 2006 and 2007 MLS Cup championships, 2011 MLS Best XI honors and six MLS All-Star selections. His 376 appearances and 122 assists in the regular season are both third most in MLS history among field players. A native of Missouri, Davis ended his 10-year stay in Houston as the Dynamo’s all-time leader in regular season games played (271), starts (252) and assists (104). In addition to winning two MLS Cups, Davis led Houston to seven playoff trips from 2006-2015, including MLS Cup appearances in 2006, 2007, 2011 and 2012.
