SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs NEW YORK CITY FC CHILDREN’S MERCY PARK, Kansas City, Kan. July 10, 2016 (WEEK 18, MLS Game #182) 7 p.m. CT (FS1 / FOX Deportes) Sporting Kansas City and New York City FC meet for the only time in league play this season when the clubs face off Sunday evening at Children’s Mercy Park before an FS1 audience. Sporting have moved into playoff positioning, now sitting in fourth place in the Western Conference after extending their undefeated run to four games with a 3-2, comefrom-behind win vs. Columbus Crew SC at home last weekend. NYCFC have moved into first place in the Eastern Conference, now leading by four points after winning a club-record four consecutive games following their 1-0 win at the New England Revolution at midweek.

Sporting are in fifth place in the Western Conference with 25 points from 19 games. LAST MATCH  Crew SC went up 1-0 at the 22-minute mark. Ethan Finlay sent Harrison Afful free behind the SKC back line on the right, and he drove a low pass into the goalmouth where Ola Kamara bundled it home.  But Sporting were in the lead early in the second half, first equalizing in the 48th minute when Benny Feilhaber converted a penalty after Tyson Wahl was sent off after taking down Dom Dwyer when he was free on goal. The hosts were in the lead eight minutes later when Graham Zusi raced forward through the middle of the park before hammering home a drive from just outside the box.  Crew SC drew back level in the 75th minute when Kamara hit for his second, a classy finish after he was freed behind the Sporting line from a deft through-ball from Tony Tchani.  But the winner came in stoppage time, after a partially cleared free kick popped out to Jimmy Medranda on the right. Ike Opara got on the end of his cross and headed it across the goal over goalkeeper Steve Clark, where Matt Besler popped up at the back post for an easy headed finish.  Sporting manager Peter Vermes made one change to the team that came back for a 2-2 draw with the Montréal Impact at Stade Saputo. Graham Zusi came back into the team, replacing Connor Hallisey.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Tim Melia - Saad Abdul-Salaam, Ike Opara, Lawrence Olum (Matt Besler 54), Jimmy Medranda - Soni Mustivar - Roger Espinoza, Benny Feilhaber (Justin Mapp 83) - Jacob Peterson (Brad Davis 78), Dom Dwyer, Graham Zusi.

“It was a big win for us,” Matt Besler said. “We really needed it at this point in the season, especially at home. Honestly, it didn't mater how we got the job done tonight or who scored the goals. The fact is that we got the three points and hopefully we can gain some momentum from this and move forward.” The three goals were a single-game season-high for SKC, who have scored multiple goals now in three consecutive games, with seven goals in that time. Sporting had scored seven goals in their previous 11 league games. “I think every game we need. I would say that those were three massive points for us. The biggest reason why they were massive were because of the way that we played. The energy on the field and the players with the work they put in the game showed that we left everything on the field. That's why we got rewarded with the three points. … The offensive guys did not just settle for the point. I think that was big way to end the game and we did a great job,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes. Matt Besler scored his first goal in more than five years in MLS, since Oct. 22, 2011, when he scored the only goal in a win vs. D.C. United. It was Besler’s third goal in his eighth MLS season, in 193 career league appearances. “Normally Matt [Besler] stays back in those situations. He does pretty well organizing so we don't get countered. Before he went in, our assistants told him to go up on the set pieces, but to just make sure to send someone back. Normally he would be back, but he made the decision to go up on that play. It's one of those things that you feel and it's great he felt it. He made the right decision out of it,” said Vermes. Besler was making his first appearance for Sporting after missing four matches while on international duty with the U.S. national team for Copa América. But Besler came off the substitutes’ bench for the final 36 minutes, after playing in the Open Cup match at midweek prior. “Coming in as a sub is different,” he said. “There's challenges that go along with it, especially as a central defender. It doesn't happen too often. Fortunately, I've had some decent experience the last couple of weeks, playing with the national team and having to be available off the bench. Tonight was no different.” Benny Feilhaber scored his fourth goal of the season, converting his second penalty kick of the season. Feilhaber has a goal and/or an assist now in three consecutive games, with two goals and two assists in that time. Roger Espinoza collected an assist for a second consecutive game, now with three assists on the season – all having come over the last seven games, dating back to May 15. Graham Zusi netted his first goal of the season, his first in a league game since last Aug. 22 when he scored vs. Columbus. “You could tell [Zusi] was on another level tonight. I think he came back with a lot of confidence from Copa America. We need him to be like that. He showed it from his goal, to his free kick to a few other things he did. He was all over the field and we need that continuously,” said Feilhaber.

NEW YORK CITY FC New York City FC stretched their winning streak to a club-record four games, defeating the New England Revolution 1-0 on Wednesday evening at Gillette Stadium. NYCFC are in first place in the Eastern Conference with 30 points from 19 games. LAST MATCH  The game's only goal came just before the hour mark. Tommy McNamara tracked down an Andrea Pirlo pass near the endline in the area, then hit a driven ball across the goal. The ball hit off Frank Lampard as he got position between defenders and deflected into the goal.  New England goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth was shown a straight red card in second-half stoppage time for denial of an obvious goalscoring opportunity, as he tripped Khiry Shelton on a late challenge outside the box.  NYCFC goalkeeper Josh Saunders was credited with three saves in keeping a clean sheet for a third consecutive match.  NYCFC manager Patrick Vieira made one change to the team that defeated the New York Red Bulls 2-0 at Yankee Stadium. Ronald Matarrita returned to the back four for Jason Hernandez.  NEW YORK CITY FC (4-1-2-3): Josh Saunders - R.J. Allen, Frederic Brillant, Jefferson Mena, Ronald Matarrita (Khiry Shelton 74) - Andoni Iraola - Frank Lampard (Mikey Lopez 79), Andrea Pirlo - Jack Harrison, David Villa, Thomas McNamara (Jason Hernandez 65). TEAM NEWS  New York City FC have won four games in a row for the first time in their MLS history, surpassing three-game winning streaks they had on three occasions over their first year-plus. It matches the longest winning streak in MLS this season (also: New York Red Bulls, May 18-June 19).  “I think we can always improve and having four wins in a row, that gives us confidence and a happy camp to keep working and keep doing what we believe,” said NYCFC manager Patrick Vieira. “I think coming here wasn’t an easy place to take the three points ... I think we showed a lot of personality. We stick to our principles.

We managed to play from the back. We create so many chances, we create so many situations, we really had control of the game.” It was also a third consecutive shutout for NYCFC, the first time they’ve done that in their MLS history. The clean sheet extended their shutout streak to a club-record 272 minutes, the fourth-longest this season in MLS. “We really stuck to our game plan. We wanted to force them wide and stop the essential penetration, because with the wingers coming inside, we didn’t want them to get the ball between the line,” said Vieira. “And I was really pleased because the distance between the line was really good. The five in the midfield worked really hard to stop them playing inside and then when we forced them wide, we tried to stop the crosses, but it was sometimes difficult. But when the ball was inside the box, we defended the crosses really well, and that’s why I am really pleased and really proud about the way the team performed today.” The win was also the second in a row on the road for NYCFC, their away undefeated streak now at five games. NYCFC is now 5-2-1 on their travels, by far the best away record in MLS this season, the only team with a record above the .500 mark in the league. “I think from an organizational standpoint and just a pure work ethic standpoint, we’ve done really, really well,” said Thomas McNamara. “As a result of that we’ve made it difficult on other teams to create a lot of chances and to get goals. The more clean sheets we have is exactly what we want and what we need. We have some good players in and around the goal who are going to be able to create our chances.” Frank Lampard scored his third goal of the season, all three coming over the last four games. Lampard now has a goal and/or an assist in four consecutive games, with the three goals and one assist in that span. Andrea Pirlo collected an assist for a second consecutive game, now with six assists for the season. Pirlo has a goal and four assists over his last six matches, dating back to May 29. “To play the way we did tonight was fantastic. We showed personality and the way we tried to play was really positive. The players love it and then when you have [Frank] Lampard inside the box, when you have [Andrea] Pirlo [who] can make the assist – we can score goals, we can make the assist – but the team performance will be something I will take from the game today,” said Vieira. Thomas McNamara collected his sixth assist of the season, his second in the last four games. McNamara has one goal and five assists over his last 10 matches, dating back to April 27.

Sporting KC Game Notes | July 10, 2016 vs. New York City FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES EASTERN CONFERENCE SWING CONTINUES SPORTING KC ADDS DEFENDER EVER ALVARADO Sporting KC continues a stretch of four consecutive regular season games against Eastern Conference opponents on Sunday. Having already faced the Montreal Impact (2-2 tie) and Columbus Crew SC (3-2 win), the club will host New York City FC Sunday before traveling to the Chicago Fire on Wednesday. This run of matches bodes well for Sporting KC, who are 15-5-5 against interconference foes in the regular season since the start of 2014, including a 4-1-1 mark this season.

Sporting KC announced the signing of 24-year-old Honduran international defender Ever Alvarado on June 24. Alvarado is expected to be added to the Sporting KC roster in time for Sunday’s match against New York City FC as he awaits receipt of his International Transfer Certificate. Alvarado has earned six caps for the Honduras Men’s National Team since debuting in October 2015. He has played three matches for his country this year and opened his international scoring account in Honduras’ 3-1 victory over Nicaragua on Jan. 28.

LAST TIME OUT: SPORTING TOPS CREW SC IN 3-2 THRILLER

Matt Besler came off the bench last Sunday to nod home a dramatic gamewinner in the 91st minute of Sporting KC’s pulsating 3-2 victory over Columbus Crew SC at sold-out Children’s Mercy Park. Ola Kamara scored in either half for the visitors, while Sporting KC received a 49th-minute penalty kick from Benny Feilhaber and a sublime long-range strike from Graham Zusi seven minutes later. The hosts held a man advantage for most of the second period and were rewarded for their dominance in stoppage time as Besler notched his first MLS goal since October 2011. The pivotal result gave Sporting KC (7-8-4, 25 points) its first three-goal game of 2016 and more importantly lifted the club into fifth place in the Western Conference table.

A native of El Negrito, Honduras, Alvarado joins Sporting KC from C.D. Olimpia, the most successful club in his native country. The defender lifted his third career Liga Nacional title last month as Olimpia were crowned 2016 Clausura champions. He started 65 of 67 league appearances for Olimpia from 20142016, scoring six goals and winning the 2015 Clausura title. He also made six appearances in the Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League, competing in the 2014-15 and 2015-16 group stage. Alvarado began his professional career with his hometown club Atletico Junior in 2007 at age 15. He moved to the C.D. Olimpia U-19s in 2009 before joining Honduran side Real Espana a year later. During a four-year stint with Real Espana, Alvarado won the 2013 Apertura title for his first Liga Nacional championship and made his Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League debut.

ATTACK IMPROVING

Sporting KC’s attack has come to life over the last three matches, snapping a scoring drought that plagued the club for much of April and May. Peter Vermes’ men have scored seven goals over their last three league games since the Copa America break. That’s the same number of goals the team had scored in its previous 11 MLS matches between April 13 and June 2.

As a youth, Alvarado has represented Honduras at the U-17, U-20, U-21 and U-23 levels. He played three games at the 2009 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Nigeria and later competed at the 2011 CONCACAF U-20 Championship. The left back featured twice for the U-23s at Children’s Mercy Park in March 2012, helping Los Catrachos to a second-place finish at the CONCACAF Men’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament and a berth in the 2012 Olympics that summer.

GRAHAM ZUSI LANDS TEAM OF THE WEEK HONORS

Winger Graham Zusi was back to his rampant best last Sunday, guiding Sporting KC to a 3-2 win over Columbus Crew SC at Children’s Mercy Park. The U.S. international was making his first MLS appearance since May 21, having spent the previous month at Copa America, and marked his return home with an electric performance highlighted by an MLS Goal of the Week nominee in the 56th minute. Not surprisingly, he earned Team of the Week honors from MLSsoccer.com and Bleacher Report on Monday.

PETERSON POISED FOR 100TH SUB APPEARANCE

Sporting KC forward Jacob Peterson has started 134 of his 233 career regular season appearances. He is one shy of his 100th substitute appearance, the fifth most in MLS history. Should he hit the century mark, Peterson would join elite company among other heralded players, including MLS’s No. 2 all-time leading scorer Jeff Cunningham (134 regular season goals). Player (MLS career) Sub appearances (GP-GS) 1. Jeff Cunningham (1998-2011) 132 (365-233) 2. Alan Gordon (2004 - ) 109 (233-124) 3. Dominic Oduro (2006 - ) 107 (296-189) 4. Andy Williams (1998-2011) 101 (332-231) 5. Jacob Peterson (2006 - ) 99 (233-134)

Zusi tied a regular season career-high last weekend with three shots on target, a feat reached three other times during his eight-year spell in MLS. And for just the second time in his regular season career, he tallied at least four shot attempts with three on target. This first occurred in August 2011 when Zusi was amidst a Breakout Player of the Year campaign. Zusi also became just the 10th player in Kansas City history to score 25 regular season goals for the club. He is on the brink of reaching another milestone Sunday, as he is one shy of his 150th start in the MLS regular season.

VERMES THREE SHY OF 100 REGULAR SEASON WINS

Peter Vermes has now coached 274 matches for Kansas City in all competitions with a 121-88-65 record. He passed Bob Gansler as the longest-tenured manager in club history on June 19 when Sporting KC beat FC Dallas 2-0. Last August, Vermes passed Gansler as the winningest coach in Sporting KC history. His 97 regular season victories are eighth most in MLS history and fourth most among active coaches behind Sigi Schmid (227), Bruce Arena (196) and Dominic Kinnear (157).

BESLER DELIVERS AT THE DEATH

Sporting KC center back Matt Besler came from off the bench in the 54th minute for just his sixth substitute appearance in 205 MLS matches (including playoffs) last Sunday against Crew SC. Besler hadn’t scored for his hometown club in nearly five years, but with Sporting KC tied 2-2 heading into second-half stoppage time on Sunday, something rare happened. Besler’s presence near the Columbus goal paid off in the first minute of stoppage time. Jimmy Medranda’s back-post delivery was cushioned back across the face of goal by the leaping Ike Opara, and Sporting’s No. 5 was on hand to nod the ball into an empty net. The decisive goal was historic on two levels. First, Besler went 121 regular season appearances between goals for Sporting KC, the most in club history by any player with at least two goals. Second, and perhaps more remarkably, this was the first regular season goal in Sporting KC history that was scored by a defender and assisted by two defenders. To put that into perspective, Kansas City has scored 901 goals over the last 21 regular seasons. But never have three KC defenders combined for a goal in such a way as Sunday’s last-gasp winner, which also saw Opara pick up his first career MLS assist.

THREE TITLES IN FOUR YEARS

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.

Besler could reach a major milestone on Sunday against New York City FC, as he is one shy of his 200th career start in MLS competition (including playoffs). He passed Jimmy Conrad last weekend for sixth on Kansas City’s appearances chart with 231 in all competitions.

Sporting KC Seattle Sounders FC D.C. United LA Galaxy Columbus Crew SC

BENNY PERFECT FROM THE SPOT

Sporting KC midfielder Benny Feilhaber converted a penalty kick in last weekend’s win over Columbus, moving to second in Kansas City history with his eighth penalty kick goal in the regular season. He is a perfect 12-for-12 from the spot in Sporting KC colors since joining the club in 2013. 3
