SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs VANCOUVER WHITECAPS FC CHILDREN’S MERCY PARK, Kansas City, Kan. August 20, 2016 (WEEK 24, MLS Game #245) 9 p.m. CT (TSN1 / RDS 2; KMCI-38 / SKCTVN) A crucial match in the chase of playoff positions in the Western Conference is on tap when Sporting Kansas City meet Vancouver Whitecaps FC for a third time this season, on Saturday evening at Children’s Mercy Park. Sporting return home following a 2-2 draw at MLS overall leaders FC Dallas last weekend, sitting three points above the red line in fifth place in the conference. Whitecaps FC have fallen two points out of the top six, after suffering a third consecutive defeat last weekend in a 2-1 home loss to the San Jose Earthquakes at BC Place. REFEREE: Kevin Stott.

Dom Dwyer scored a pair of first-half goals as Sporting took a 2-1 win March 12 at Children’s Mercy Park; the teams reached a 1-1 draw April 27 at BC Place, as Vancouver’s Christian Bolaños and SKC’s Diego Rubio traded first-half goals.  Sporting have a four-game undefeated streak alive in the series, with three wins in that span. SKC have never lost to Whitecaps FC at home, winning three times and drawing once there lifetime. The lone Whitecaps FC victory in nine meetings all-time came in 2014, a 2-0 win at BC Place.  The teams will meet again on Aug. 23, at BC Place, in the first of two matches in Group C in the CONCACAF Champions League. The return fixture is set for Sept. 13 at Children’s Mercy Park.  Coaches record: Peter Vermes vs. VAN: P9 W5 L1 D3… Carl Robinson vs. KC: P5 W1 L3 D1 LAST MEETING  Whitecaps FC opened the scoring 14 minutes in, as Cristian Techera's outswinging corner kick was turned home on the volley by Christian Bolaños from the heart of the penalty area.  But Sporting pulled level in the 27th minute when Lawrence Olum drove a low ball toward goal from the edge of the penalty area where Diego Rubio made a well-timed run and flicked the shot past David Ousted.  Kendall Waston received his marching orders five minutes into the second half, as a reckless challenge on Rubio led to his second yellow card of the night from referee Armando Villarreal.  VANCOUVER WHITECAPS FC (4-2-3-1): David Ousted - Fraser Aird, Kendall Waston (ejected 51), Tim Parker, Jordan Harvey - Matias Laba, Russell Teibert - Christian Bolanos (Kekuta Manneh 78), Pedro Morales (Pa-Modou Kah 54), Cristian Techera - Masato Kudo (Octavio Rivero 65).  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Alec Kann - Saad Abdul-Salaam, Nuno Andre Coelho, Matt Besler, Amadou Dia - Lawrence Olum - Benny Feilhaber, Roger Espinoza - Jimmy Medranda (Graham Zusi 75), Diego Rubio (Dom Dwyer 57), Connor Hallisey (Brad Davis 64).

MLS GAME INFORMATION



But Sporting came back just two minutes later when substitute Brad Davis slipped a short pass inside to Dom Dwyer, and he drove a shot off the underside of the goal from the near post to bring the match level.  SKC took the lead in the 73rd minute, when a ball played over the top of the FCD defense was half-cleared by Walker Zimmerman, but the loose ball popped up into the path of Dwyer who struck it first-time past Chris Seitz and into the far corner of the net.  But FC Dallas equalized just three minutes later. A cross from Maynor Figueroa from the left flank caught the crossbar and rebounded back into the goalmouth, where Maxi Urruti who leaned back and scored from an overhead kick.  Sporting manager Peter Vermes made four changes to the team that fell 3-0 to the Portland Timbers at Providence Park. Jimmy Medranda came in at left back for Seth Sinovic, Nuno Andre and Emmanuel Appiah started in midfield in place of Roger Espinoza and the suspended Soni Mustivar, and Graham Zusi came in out wide for Connor Hallisey.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Alec Kann - Saad Abdul-Salaam, Ike Opara (Kevin Ellis 35), Lawrence Olum, Jimmy Medranda - Nuno Andre Coelho (Paulo Nagamura 85) - Benny Feilhaber, Emmanuel Appiah Jacob Peterson (Brad Davis 66), Dom Dwyer, Graham Zusi. TEAM NEWS  The draw at FC Dallas ended a three-game road losing streak for Sporting, though their away winless run was extended to 11 matches, dating back to April 17.  “Wins are important anywhere you are, but everybody else has to play their games as well,” SKC manager Peter Vermes said. “Points at the end of the season every year go all over the place. We just have to keep trying to grind out as many points as we can with each game. It’s better to come away here from one than zero, so it’s a good point for us.”  Dom Dwyer scored a pair of goals, now with 12 for the season, tied for fifth in the MLS Golden Boot standings. It marks a third consecutive season Dwyer has scored 12 goals or more, with 46 goals over that span. It was his fourth two-goal game this season; his last three games with goals have featured braces (also June 25 and July 24), the ninth two-goal game for Dwyer in his MLS career.  “I thought both teams had chances,” Vermes said. “They had a couple more in the first half than we did, but in the second half both teams were going back and forth. To be in front like we were and give up that goal, it’s a little disappointing. But it’s good to get a point.”  Benny Feilhaber collected his sixth assist of the season, his second assist in the last three matches. Feilhaber played the full 90 minutes for a seventh consecutive match in the midfield.  “They just know how to play at home. I know they have a long unbeaten streak here at home. We did well. We could have come out with three points, a bit unlucky, I think, on the second goal,” Feilhaber said. “We're happy coming out of here with one point and I think it was a good performance all around from our team.”  Emmanuel Appiah made his MLS and SKC debut, coming into the midfield and playing the full 90 minutes. Appiah did not make an appearance with the Colorado Rapids, before his trade to SKC.  Graham Zusi came back into the starting lineup, his first start in four matches, playing the full 90 minutes for the first time in league play since July 3.  Nuno Andre Coelho returned to the starting lineup for the first time since July 13, when he was forced from the field injured after just 21 minutes vs. FC Dallas. Coelho came into a deep-lying central midfield role, his second start in the midfield in league play, the first since May 1.  Brad Davis made his first league appearance since July 16, coming off the substitutes’ bench for the final 24 minutes, recording his first league assist of the season. Paulo Nagamura also made his first league appearance since June 2, coming on as a replacement for the final five minutes.  “I think if a few things in this league go your way, it’s amazing how fast things can turn in your favor,” Vermes said. “So the good thing is we’re still plugging away and fighting game after game, and you can see it in the way our players play. That’s the positive thing on my side.”  On Tuesday, Sporting opened their CONCACAF Champions League campaign with a 2-2 draw with Central FC in Trinidad. Seth Sinovic gave SKC the lead early in the second half, then after Central took the lead with two goals in three minutes, Kevin Ellis scored the leveler with 20 minutes remaining.  Here’s the Sporting team: Jon Kempin; Saad Abdul-Salaam, Amer Didic, Kevin Ellis, Seth Sinovic (Ever Alvarado 66); Paulo Nagamura (Nuno Coelho 67), Soni Mustivar, Roger Espinoza; Brad Davis, Diego Rubio, Connor Hallisey (Cameron Porter 81) VANCOUVER WHITECAPS FC Vancouver Whitecaps FC suffered their third consecutive loss, falling 2-1 to the San Jose Earthquakes on Friday evening at BC Place. Whitecaps FC are in eighth place in the Western Conference with 30 points from 25 games. LAST MATCH

MLS GAME INFORMATION



The Quakes opened the scoring in the 14th minute. Quincy Amarikwa's header off Anibal Godoy's corner kick flummoxed Whitecaps FC goalkeeper David Ousted, who backed up into the goal as he made the save and ended up bringing the ball behind the line.  The visitors doubled their lead at the hour mark, as Alberto Quintero sent a pass into the center-left channel to Simon Dawkins, who made a couple of good moves to elude a defender before shooting and beating Ousted inside the far post.  Nicolas Mezquida managed a consolation tally for Whitecaps FC deep in second-half stoppage time, when he headed Kendall Waston's header off a corner kick past San Jose 'keeper David Bingham at the far post.  Whitecaps FC head coach Carl Robinson made two changes to the team that dropped a 2-0 decision to the Colorado Rapids at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Nicolas Mezquida and Masato Kudo came into the team, replacing Andrew Jacobson and Cristian Techera.  VANCOUVER WHITECAPS FC (4-2-3-1): David Ousted - Tim Parker, David Edgar, Kendall Waston, Marcel de Jong (Alphonso Davies 66) - Matias Laba (Fraser Aird 74), Pedro Morales - Christian Bolanos, Nicolas Mezquida, Giles Barnes - Masato Kudo (Blas Perez 66). TEAM NEWS  Whitecaps FC saw their losing slide extended to three matches with the defeat by the Earthquakes, the club’s longest losing streak since a club-record five losses in a row during the 2012 season.  “We lost three points today at home to a rival. Everyone’s playing everyone. We can concentrate on ourselves, we have to. If we start scoreboard-watching and rely on that, it can bite us on the bum. We won’t do that. We need five or six wins out of nine games. We don’t get them, we probably don’t get to the playoffs. That’s a fair thing to say,” said Whitecaps head coach Carl Robinson.  The goal from Nicolas Mezquída was the first for the ‘Caps since July 16, after three consecutive league shutouts. The goal snapped a 407-minute goalless drought for the Whitecaps, the longest in the league this season and the second in the club’s MLS history.  “We probably need to score three to win a game, and we've scored one goal in four games,” Robinson said. “It does become worrying. But football's a funny game. You just need to get back to work. That game's gone and we move on. Do we address some issues? Yes, we do. It's not been one or two games, it's been a number of games this season.”  It marked a seventh time in the last nine games Whitecaps FC have conceded two goals in the contest – they have shutouts in the other two.  “We need to be better,” Robinson said. “We're all involved, collectively, individually. It wasn't a great performance today, but we still had a number of chances. If you don't hit the target, if you don't take your chances, you don't win games of football. Having said that, we conceded two bad goals as well, which has been a common theme this year. It is what it is. All we've got to do is get back to work, but we give ourselves a little bit more of a mountain to climb. Do we need to be better? Yeah. One hundred percent.”  Mezquida made his first start in league play since July 23, after coming off the substitutes’ bench each of the previous two matches. He scored his third goal of the season, his second in the last five games.  “We try to pick players who deserve to play. Nico Mezquida is an example and he deserves to play. He played very well today and got a goal in the last minute,” said Robinson. “I will look at a number of things, there are players that are itching to play. I left out some players today that probably shouldn’t have been left out. Some of the guys took the chance, some didn’t.”  Fraser Aird made his first appearance in a league game since May 14, coming on as a substitute for the final 16 minutes.  “He’s only been training two or three weeks, to be fair, since his injury and since the personal issues that he had,” said Robinson. “I think we saw today that when he comes on, he’s bright and lively. He’s knocking on my door, wondering why he’s not going to play. He’ll be fighting to get a place to get in next week. We concede two goals in every game. It’s not just the right back that’s been an issue this year.”

Sporting KC Game Notes | August 20, 2016 vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #SKCvVAN: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#FCDvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting KC holds the upper hand in the regular season series with a 5-1-3 record, including a 3-0-1 mark at Children’s Mercy Park. Peter Vermes’ men swept the 2015 set with a pair of one-goal wins that came in dissimilar fashion. Sporting KC scrapped out a 1-0 road result on July 12, receiving a second-half header from Kevin Ellis, before winning 4-3 in spectacular fashion on Aug. 15 at Children’s Mercy Park. Kekuta Manneh bagged a first-half brace and Pedro Morales made it 3-1 in the 75th minute, but the ensuing comeback matched a feat that had been done just one other time in MLS history. Sporting KC erased a two-goal deficit in the final 10 minutes plus stoppage time behind a header from Dom Dwyer and a brace from Paulo Nagamura. Saturday marks the third regular season meeting of 2016 between the sides. Sporting KC ran out 2-1 winners on March 12 at Children’s Mercy Park, propelled by Dom Dwyer’s first-half brace. His opener in the fifth minute was a stunning 28-yard strike, while his second came from point blank range following a well-worked buildup from Graham Zusi and Chance Myers. Morales cut the deficit in half with a penalty kick late in the game, but Sporting KC would hold on for all three points. The teams met again on April 27 at BC Place, battling to a 1-1 draw after Christian Bolanos and Diego Rubio both scored their first career MLS goals within the first half-hour. Vancouver’s lone victory in the series came on Aug. 10, 2014, at BC Place. An own goal from Sporting KC and a Darren Mattocks strike assisted by Morales sealed the result before halftime. This was also Sporting KC’s most recent regular season defeat to a Canadian club, having gone 6-0-2 against teams north of the border ever since.

Sporting KC Game Notes | August 20, 2016 vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes FAMILIAR FOES

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES AUDI INDEX: MEDRANDA THE SECOND-BEST LEFT BACK

By mid-September, Sporting KC and Vancouver Whitecaps FC will have met five times in 2016. Saturday will be the third and final regular season clash between the clubs, but the Western Conference foes were both drawn into Group C of the 2016-17 Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League. They will square off twice in the international competition, battling Tuesday at BC Place and at Children’s Mercy Park on Sept. 13.

The MLS Audi Player Index currently ranks Sporting KC’s Jimmy Medranda as the second-best left back in the league. The 22-year-old Colombian has enjoyed a breakout season with the club, reaching career-highs in league appearances (22) and starts (17). Medranda ranks third in MLS with 61 tackles won (one behind the league lead) and ranks second with 19 successful crosses from open play. Since May 20, he also leads the league with 50 interceptions.

CONQUERING CANADA

ABDUL-SALAAM HAPPY TO ASSIST

Sporting KC is 25-8-10 against Major League Soccer’s three Canadian clubs in the regular season, including a current eight-game unbeaten streak (6-02) dating back to August 2014. Sporting KC’s 25 regular season wins against Canadian sides are the most in MLS. The last time Peter Vermes’ men lost to a an opponent from north of the border was a 2-0 setback at Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Aug. 10, 2014.

Sporting KC right back Saad Abdul-Salaam is tied for the lead among MLS defenders in 2016 with five assists. The second-year defender tallied his fifth helper of the season in a 3-0 rout of Seattle Sounders FC on July 24. AbulSalaam, 24, was selected in the first round of the 2015 MLS SuperDraft and has since started 33 of 52 appearances for the club in all competitions.

THREE TITLES IN FOUR YEARS

SPORTING KC BEGINS CHAMPIONS LEAGUE CAMPAIGN

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 came from behind Tuesday to earn a 2-2 draw at Central FC in the club’s opening match of the 2016-17 Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League group stage at Ato Boldon Stadium in Couva, Trinidad and Tobago. Defenders Seth Sinovic and Kevin Ellis bookended the scoring with their first goals of the season, while Marcus Joseph and Kenwyne Jones struck for the Sharks in a match that was scoreless at halftime but burst to life in the final 45 minutes. The result leaves Sporting KC in second place in Group C, two points behind Vancouver Whitecaps FC with three group stage matches still to play.

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

Right back Saad Abdul-Salaam was the only player to retain his spot in Sporting KC’s starting XI from Saturday’s a 2-2 draw at FC Dallas. The reshuffled lineup included a Sporting KC debut for 21-year-old center back Amer Didic, who has played 21 matches this season for USL affiliate Swope Park Rangers. Left back Ever Alvarado also made his club debut.

VERMES REACHES 100 REGULAR SEASON WINS

Sporting KC Manager Peter Vermes earned his 100th regular season win on July 31 with a 1-0 result against the Portland Timbers at Children’s Mercy Park. His 100 regular season victories are eighth most in MLS history and fourth most among active coaches behind Bruce Arena (199), Dominic Kinnear (159) and Jason Kreis (101). Vermes has now coached 282 matches for Kansas City in all competitions with a 124-91-67 record.

DWYER DOUBLE SPARKS 2-2 DRAW AT FC DALLAS

Dom Dwyer scored a pair of second-half goals to give Sporting KC a valuable 2-2 draw at FC Dallas last Saturday night. Tesho Akindele and Maximiliano Urruti struck on either side of Dwyer’s brace — with all four goals scored over a wild 10-minute span — as the MLS charter members played to an enthralling stalemate at Toyota Stadium.

Among the eight men who have won at least 100 regular season matches, Vermes becomes just the fifth — alongside Sigi Schmid, Bruce Arena, Dominic Kinnear and Steve Nicol — to hit triple digits with a single club. He and Nicol are the only coaches in the group to spend their entire MLS coaching tenure with one team. Coach Wins Seasons Active in MLS Sigi Schmid 228 17 No Bruce Arena 199 14 Yes (LA) Dominic Kinnear 159 13 Yes (SJ) Frank Yallop 130 13 No Bob Bradley 124 9 No Steve Nicol 112 11 No Jason Kreis 101 9 Yes (ORL) Peter Vermes 100 8 Yes (SKC)

Last weekend’s result snapped a three-game road losing streak for Sporting KC (10-11-5, 35 points), who remain fifth in the Western Conference table and four points clear in the playoff race. FC Dallas (13-6-6, 45 points) extended its home unbeaten run to 18 games, the sixth-longest streak in league history, to stay atop the Supporters’ Shield standings. Dwyer’s late double gives him 12 regular season goals in 2016, tied for fifth in MLS. He also became the first player in Kansas City history to net at least 12 goals in three straight regular seasons.

DWYER NETS TEAM OF THE WEEK HONORS

For the third time in eight weeks, Dom Dwyer was named among Major League Soccer’s best players. The striker bagged a second-half brace last Saturday, propelling his side to a well-earned 2-2 draw at MLS Supporters’ Shield leaders FC Dallas. An opportunistic finish with his weaker right foot leveled proceedings in the 68th minute, while his clinical left-footed strike fired Sporting KC ahead five minutes later. Not surprisingly, Dwyer landed Team of the Week recognition from MLSsoccer.com and Bleacher Report on Monday.

KERRY ZAVAGNIN TO BE HONORED ON SATURDAY

Sporting KC will induct assistant coach and former midfielder Kerry Zavagnin into the club’s Sporting Legends hall of honor on Saturday in an on-field ceremony at halftime of the team’s match against Vancouver Whitecaps FC at Children’s Mercy Park. Zavagnin becomes the eighth member of the Sporting Legends, an initiative launched in 2013 that pays tribute to club icons and provides a platform for inductees to reconnect with the Kansas City soccer community. Zavagnin was selected through an online vote that featured three other finalists — Mo Johnston, Ron Newman and Josh Wolff.

FC Dallas would draw level before the final whistle, but Dwyer’s leading role in securing a precious point remained evident. The 26-year-old was voted AT&T Man of the Match on the Sporting KC Uphoria mobile app, recording gamehighs in shots (six) and shots on target (three). Dwyer now has four multi-goal games this season, one shy of Bradley Wright-Phillips for the league lead, and is tied for third in MLS with 12 goals in 2016.

PETERSON ONE SHY OF 100TH SUB APPEARANCE

Sporting KC forward Jacob Peterson has started 140 of his 239 career regular season appearances. He is one shy of his 100th substitute appearance, which would be sixth 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 - ) 110 (234-124) 2. Dominic Oduro (2006 - ) 110 (301-191) 4.

Now in his fifth season with Sporting KC, Dwyer tallied his 49th and 50th MLS goals last Saturday (including postseason). He is the youngest active player in MLS to have scored at least 50 goals and becomes the first player in club history to record at least 12 goals in three straight regular seasons.

83 STRAIGHT AND COUNTING

Children’s Mercy Park has sold out 83 consecutive MLS matches dating back to April 2012 (including four playoff games) and 95 of 104 league matches since opening in 2011. The 18,467-seat venue has averaged 105 percent capacity over the last five MLS seasons, drawing more than 19,400 fans per game.
