SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs HOUSTON DYNAMO CHILDREN’S MERCY PARK, Kansas City, Kan. September 9, 2016 (WEEK 27, MLS Game #273) 7 p.m. CT (UniMás; KMCI-38) A critical contest in the makeup of the Western Conference field for the MLS Cup Playoffs is ahead when Sporting Kansas City play host to the Houston Dynamo at Children’s Mercy Park on Viernes de Fútbol. Sporting return home following a 2-0 defeat at Philadelphia Union in their last match, sitting in fifth place in the conference, three points above the red line. The Dynamo are at the foot of the West table, 10 points out of sixth place and the final playoff position, following their 3-1 home loss to FC Dallas at BBVA Compass Stadium last time out.

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).  Coaches record: Peter Vermes vs. HOU: P17 W4 L5 D8 … Wade Barrett vs. KC: first game LAST MEETING (MLS) 5/27: HOU 2, KC 0 (Barnes 30, Wenger 46+)  The opening goal came in the 30th minute. After taking a pass from Erick Torres just outside the penalty area on the left, Giles Barnes hammered a first-time shot on the half-volley inside the far post.  The Dynamo then doubled their lead in first-half stoppage time, when Barnes sent a pass to Cristian Maidana from the left flank, and he slipped a short cross inside to Andrew Wenger, who made a move before driving a laser shot past Sporting goalkeeper Tim Melia.  HOUSTON DYNAMO (4-2-3-1): Tyler Deric - Jalil Anibaba, David Horst, Agus, DaMarcus Beasley (Abdoulie Mansally 67) - Ricardo Clark, Alex - Andrew Wenger, Cristian Maidana (Leonel Miranda 75), Giles Barnes Erick Torres (Will Bruin 57).  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Tim Melia - Chance Myers (Jimmy Medranda 62), Nuno Andre Coelho, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic - Soni Mustivar - Benny Feilhaber, Roger Espinoza - Brad Davis (Diego Rubio 67), Dom Dwyer, Graham Zusi (Saad Abdul-Salaam 77).

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City saw their road winless streak continue last time out, falling 2-0 to Philadelphia Union on Aug. 27 at Talen Energy Stadium. Sporting are in fifth place in the Western Conference with 38 points from 28 games.

LAST MATCH  Sporting went a man down after the 59th minute, when left back Jimmy Medranda was shown a second yellow card by referee Juan Guzman.  Union then took the lead in the 67th minute when Roland Alberg -- just two minutes after coming on as a substitute -- took a pass from Fabinho and curled in a beautiful strike from just outside the penalty area.  Sporting were reduced to nine men in the 87th minute when midfielder Roger Espinoza drew a straight red card for elbowing Alberg in the chest. Union finished off the match in the second minute of stoppage time when Alberg slipped Tranquillo Barnetta into the area and he banged home the second goal.

MLS GAME INFORMATION



Sporting manager Peter Vermes made three changes to the team that defeated Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2-0 at Children’s Mercy Park. Saad Abdul-Salaam, Ike Opara and Soni Mustivar all came into the team, replacing Kevin Ellis, Nuno Andre Coelho and Brad Davis.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Alec Kann - Saad Abdul-Salaam, Ike Opara, Matt Besler, Jimmy Medranda (ejected 59) - Soni Mustivar (Diego Rubio 90) - Benny Feilhaber (Brad Davis 77), Roger Espinoza (ejected 87) - Jacob Peterson (Ever Alvarado 61), Dom Dwyer, Graham Zusi.

TEAM NEWS  Sporting had their road winless streak extended to 12 games with the loss at Union, 0-8-4 on their travels after winning their first away matches of the season at Seattle and the Red Bulls.  “After about five or ten minutes of being down a man, I could tell we were getting gassed big time,” Vermes said. “But when we went down two men, I tell you we had some pretty good fight at the end. We almost scored one, which is pretty good. It was good fight for us at the end,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes.  Sporting were shut out at the attacking end for a ninth time this season – eight of those occurring away from Children’s Mercy Park. Sporting have scored nine goals in their 14 away games, an average of 0.64 goals per game on the road, the lowest mark in the league.  “I don’t think it was our best game. We didn’t have as much high energy as we normally have in games. I think we weathered the storm for considerable amount of the first half and put ourselves in a position the second half, but obviously the red card makes a big, big difference. We have to basically put 10 guys behind the ball at that point,” said midfielder Benny Feilhaber.  Said defender Ike Opara: “The effort was still there, the guys were giving it all they could. I can’t fault what everyone put on the field and played this game today. Obviously it wasn’t easy circumstances.”  Roger Espinoza started a second consecutive match, playing 87 minutes in the midfield before he was sent off with a straight red card. However, following an appeal and review by the Independent Review Panel, Espinoza’s automatic one-match suspension was rescinded, meaning he will be available for the Dynamo match.  Ever Alvarado made his MLS debut, coming on as a substitute for the final 29 minutes. Alvarado had made his Sporting debut in the first two matches in the group stage of the CONCACAF Champions League, starting the game at Vancouver Whitecaps FC.  Soni Mustivar made his return to the starting lineup after a two-match absence, coming into the deep-lying central midfield role before he was taken off right at the end of the regulation 90 minutes. Mustivar had come on as a substitute the week before in the league game vs. Vancouver.

HOUSTON DYNAMO The Houston Dynamo saw their undefeated run come to an end after three matches in their last match, FC Dallas hitting back for a 3-1 win Aug. 27 at BBVA Compass Stadium. The Dynamo are in 10th place in the Western Conference with 25 points from 26 games.

LAST MATCH  The Dynamo took the lead in the 19th minute, after Alex beat a pair of FCD defenders and ripped a line drive shot past goalkeeper Chris Seitz and high into the far side netting.  But FCD leveled terms after a Tesho Akindele shot found the arm of Dynamo defender Raul Rodriguez in the area, and Mauro Diaz duly converted from the post in the 59th minute.  From there Michael Barrios took over, first receiving an incredible long ball from Maynor Figueroa that covered all of 60 yards, chipping Dynamo 'keeper Joe Willis with his first touch barely a minute later.  Barrios then doubled his count and the FCD lead with 11 minutes to play, receiving a pass from Akindele on the left of the area before curling a ball around Willis and in off the inside of the far post.  Dynamo interim head coach Wade Barrett made three changes to the team that gained a 1-1 draw with Seattle Sounders FC at BBVA Compass Stadium. Agus came into the back four for David Horst, Eric Alexander started in midfield for Ricardo Clark, and Mauro Manotas came in up top to replace Erick Torres.  HOUSTON DYNAMO (4-1-4-1): Joe Willis - Sheanon Williams, Raul Rodriguez, Agus (David Horst 42), Jalil Anibaba - Collen Warner (Erick Torres 73) - Boniek Garcia, Eric Alexander (Ricardo Clark 64), Alex, Cristian Maidana - Mauro Manotas.

TEAM NEWS  While the Dynamo saw their home undefeated streak come to an end after eight matches with the defeat by FC Dallas, they have still gone five games since their last victory at home, the 1-0 victory vs. Philadelphia on July 2, with the loss preceded by four consecutive draws.  “Should have been three points tonight for us, and it wasn’t. We’ve found some ways to lose games, everyone in there knows it, you guys know it as well, so there’s no hiding from it. Things will stay the same unless we change, so it’s on us,” said Dynamo interim head coach Wade Barrett.  Alex collected his third goal of the season, his second in his last five games, making a fourth consecutive start where he’s played the full 90 minutes.

Boniek García collected his sixth assist of the season, his first since June 26, when he set up both goals in the 3-2 loss at Portland.

“There were three things, tactics aside, that we talked about – concentration, discipline, execution. I thought we came out with those three things, we had another couple good chances to score in the first half,” said Barrett.

“I’ve talked about when you’re on top of a good team, you’ve got to have end results – we had one goal but I thought we should have had more.

Agus made his first start since Aug. 14, coming into central defense. But he was forced off the field injured before the end of the first half, suffering a left knee sprain that will put him out for the next 3-4 weeks.

Eric Alexander made his first start with the Dynamo, coming into a central midfield position and playing 64 minutes. Alexander had come on as a substitute in four of the previous five matches, totaling 70 minutes, after his arrival via trade from the Montréal Impact.

Mauro Manotas returned to the starting lineup after a one-match absence, coming in as the lone out-and-out striker and playing the full 90 minutes – his first full match since coming to the Dynamo and MLS. All three of Manotas’s starts (in 23 career appearances in MLS) have come in the last four games.

Midfielder Andrew Wenger missed his first match of the league campaign after sustaining a right calf strain in training in the days leading up to the Dallas match and is expected to miss 1-2 weeks. Forward Will Bruin missed just his third league game of the year, out with left knee swelling.

“I’m going to look at everything. People like talking about putting two forwards on, but it means you’re taking a midfielder away against a lot of good teams that have really good attacking pieces in midfield. So, you always like the idea of what it sounds,” Barrett said. “I’m willing to consider anything. We talked about things, we’ll consider everything moving forward to try to improve.”

On Sunday, the Dynamo and Chivas de Guadalajara played to a scoreless draw in a friendly at BBVA Compass Stadium.

Here’s the Dynamo team: Joe Willis (Calle Brown 46); Jail Anibaba, Keyner Brown, Raúl Rodríguez (Damarcus Beasley 71), Sheanon Williams (Rob Lovejoy 46); Collen Warner (Alex Lima 46); Jose Escalante (Christian Lucatero 87), Ricardo Clark (Cristian Maidana 46), Eric Alexander (Zach Steinberger 82), Yair Arboleda; Mauro Manotas

Sporting KC Game Notes | September 9, 2016 vs. Houston Dynamo | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #SKCvHOU: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#SKCvHOU: BY THE NUMBERS

An MLS rivalry is renewed Friday as Sporting KC (11-12-5, 38 pts) hosts the Houston Dynamo (5-11-10, 25 pts) at Children’s Mercy Park. The clubs have squared off 22 times in all competitions since the beginning of 2011, with Sporting KC holding an 8-7-7 record.

Sporting KC Game Notes | September 9, 2016 vs. Houston Dynamo | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes HOT AT HOME

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES ROGER’S RED RESCINDED

Sporting KC is currently riding a six-game home winning streak in the regular season, one shy of the club record set in 1998 and 2000. The run began with a 2-0 victory over Supporters’ Shield leaders FC Dallas on June 19 and has since unfolded with wins against Columbus Crew SC (3-2, July 3), New York City FC (3-1, July 10), Seattle Sounders FC (3-0, July 24), Portland Timbers (1-0, July 31) and Vancouver Whitecaps FC (2-0, Aug. 20).

Sporting KC midfielder Roger Espinoza was set to miss Friday’s match against the Houston dynamo after receiving a straight red card in the club’s 2-0 loss at the Philadelphia Union on Aug. 27. However, the Independent Review Panel rescinded his suspension for the red card, which was issued in the 87th minute when he innocuously raised his arm to Philadelphia midfielder Roland Alberg’s chest. Sporting KC’s appeal of the red card was unanimously upheld by the Panel, which consists of one representative from the U.S. Soccer Federation, one representative from the Canadian Soccer Association and one representative from the Professional Referees Organization (PRO).

Sporting KC’s last three home wins have come via the shutout variety. The last time Kansas City earned four straight shutout home wins in the regular season was 2004. Peter Vermes’ men are currently on a 346-minute shutout streak at Children’s Mercy Park dating back to July 10, when Frank Lampard scored in the 14th minute of New York City FC’s 3-1 defeat.

Espinoza has been a vital cog in Sporting KC’s midfield this season, starting a team-high 27 matches in all competitions and equalling a regular season careerhigh with four assists. The 29-year-old Honduran also ranks second in MLS with 179 duels won.

BABY BRINGS OUT BEST IN BESLER

Matt Besler celebrated the birth of his first child in style. The Sporting KC defender scored his first international goal last Friday as the U.S. Men’s National Team topped St. Vincent and the Grenadines 6-0 at Arnos Vale Stadium in Kingstown, moving a step closer to CONCACAF’s Hexagonal round of FIFA World Cup qualifying.

MEDRANDA MAGNIFICENT

Left back Jimmy Medranda has enjoyed a breakout year in 2016. The 22-yearold Colombian is third in MLS in both tackles won (64) and successful crosses from open play (20) despite not starting regularly until the end of April. Ranked the second-best left back in MLS by the Audi Index last month, Medranda also leads MLS since May 20 with 56 interceptions. Unfortunately for Sporting KC, Medranda will miss Friday’s clash after picking up two yellow cards in a 2-0 loss at the Philadelphia Union on Aug. 27.

Donning U.S. colors on the day his daughter Parker Rhea was born in Overland Park, Kansas, Besler hammered home from close range in the 32nd minute after the St. Vincent defense failed to clear a free kick swung in by Sporting KC winger Graham Zusi. Besler (36 caps) and Zusi (41 caps) both played the full 90 minutes as the U.S. breezed to victory with additional goals coming from Bobby Wood, Jozy Altidore, Sacha Kljestan and Christian Pulisic (two).

POINTS FROM PETERSON

No Sporting KC player has scored more goals this season than Jacob Peterson’s three. The veteran forward has come up clutch on multiple occasions this year, delivering decisive goals against Orlando City SC (May 15), Portland Timbers (July 31) and Vancouver Whitecaps FC (Aug. 20). Only six players in MLS have more game-winning goals this season than Peterson, whose four goals in 2016 equal an MLS career-high during his 11-year career.

Besler returned to Kansas City following the match to be with Parker and his wife Amanda. The central defender is on the brink of two milestones heading into Friday’s match. He is one shy of tying Chris Klein for fifth in team history with 235 appearances in all competitions, and his is 70 minutes shy of passing Jimmy Conrad for fifth in team history with 20,551 minutes played in all competitions.

Sporting KC is 11-0-2 in all competitions when Peterson scores a goal, including a perfect 4-0-0 mark in 2016.

DAVIS DUELS FORMER CLUB

SAAD HAPPY TO ASSIST

Sporting KC winger Brad Davis will host his longtime former club on Friday as the Houston Dynamo visit Children’s Mercy Park. Davis starred for Houston from 2006-2015 and is the Dynamo’s all-time leader in regular season appearances (271), starts (252), assists (104) and playoff appearances (27). He was a six-time All-Star with the Dynamo, a 2011 MLS Best XI selection and a two-time MLS Cup champion, lifting the title in 2006 and 2007 in the club’s first two years in Houston.

Sporting KC right back Saad Abdul-Salaam is tied for the MLS lead among defenders with five assists. The second-year professional joined the club in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft out of Akron and has since become a mainstay along Kansas City’s back line, starting 35 of 55 appearances across all competitions.

Abdul-Salaam, 24, was the only player to feature in all six matches during a grueling month of August in which Sporting KC played five road games. The travel-heavy month included trips to Portland, Philadelphia, Vancouver, Dallas and Trinidad and Tobago as Peter Vermes’ men juggled regular season play with the Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League.

Davis led Houston to seven playoff trips between 2006-2015, including four MLS Cup appearances in 2006, 2007, 2011 and 2012. He also featured in four editions of the CONCACAF Champions League (2008-10, 2012-14) and the 2010 North American SuperLiga.

RUBIO TRANSFER COMPLETE

CCL HOPES HANGING BY A THREAD

Sporting KC announced last week that the club has completed the permanent transfer of forward Diego Rubio from Spanish side Real Valladolid. Rubio is no longer on loan and his contract with Sporting KC runs through the 2018 season with a team option for 2019.

Sporting KC enters Tuesday’s CONCACAF Champions League match against Vancouver Whitecaps FC in a must-win situation. Peter Vermes’ men trail Vancouver by five points in Group C, having lost 3-0 at BC place on Aug. 23 after earning a 2-2 draw at Central FC (Trinidad and Tobago) on Aug. 16. In order for Sporting KC to advance to next February’s quarterfinals as the top team in Group C, the club must win its final two games and Vancouver must lose its final two games.

Rubio joined Sporting KC on loan in March after spending the first five years of his professional career in South America and Europe. The 23-year-old Chilean has started six of 17 appearances this season, tallying two goals and one assist in all competitions. Rubio opened his MLS scoring account in a 1-1 draw at Vancouver Whitecaps FC on April 27 and bagged the game-winner in extra time of a 2-1 U.S. open Cup victory over Minnesota United FC on June 15. He then recorded his first Sporting KC assist in a U.S. Open Cup defeat at the Houston Dynamo on June 29.

A native of Santiago, Chile, Rubio has scored 39 goals and added 16 assists since turning professional in 2011 at age 17. After rising from the youth ranks to the senior team at hometown side Colo-Colo, Rubio moved overseas to Sporting Clube de Portugal, where he netted 22 goals for the club’s reserve team Sporting B from 2011-2015. The forward played 20 first-team matches at Sporting while also going on loan to Romanian outfit Pandurii Targu Jiu in 2013 and Norwegian club Sandnes Ulf in 2014.

A CENTURY OF REGULAR SEASON GAMES AT CMP

Children’s Mercy Park will host its 100th MLS regular season match on Friday when Sporting KC meets the Houston Dynamo. Peter Vermes’ men have gone 53-21-25 over 99 games at the world-class venue since its opening in 2011.

Children’s Mercy Park has sold out 84 consecutive MLS matches dating back to April 2012 (including four playoff games) and 96 of 105 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.

Rubio has earned three caps for the Chile Men’s National Team since debuting as an 18-year-old in June 2011. He appeared in two more senior team friendlies that year before playing eight matches at the U-20 level from 2012-2013.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES (CONTINUED) VERMES REACHES 100 REGULAR SEASON WINS

As strong as Sporting KC has been at home, the club has struggled mightily on its travels over the last several months. The club is winless in 12 straight league games dating back to mid-April, one shy of tying the club’s longest road winless streak in the regular season during the non-shootout era (2000-present). Kansas City went 13 road games without a win during the 2008 campaign.

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 101 regular season victories are eighth most in MLS history and fourth among active coaches. 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.

Across all competitions, Sporting KC has failed to win in regulation in 16 straight road games. The club needed extra time to win at Minnesota United FC in the U.S. Open Cup on June 15. Their last win away from Children’s Mercy Park came on April 9 — a 2-0 result against the New York Red Bulls.

Sporting KC was the league’s best road team from 2012-2014, going 28-26-14 while winning seven more away games than any other team. The side regressed in 2015 with a 4-9-4 road mark and has continued to slip this year, going 2-8-4.

FEILHABER FANTASTIC

It would have been hard for Benny Feilhaber to replicate a 2015 season that saw him set MLS career-highs with 10 goals and 15 assists. And while 31-year-old hasn’t been as prolific this campaign, he’s still been pretty darn good. Feilhaber has stayed within touching distance of New York Red Bulls’ Sacha Kljestan for most combined goals and assists from MLS midfielders since the start of 2015.

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.

DOM-INANT DWYER

Sporting KC forward Dom Dwyer has made history in 2016 as the first player in club history to score at least 12 goals in three straight regular seasons. The Englishman joined Sporting KC in 2012 out of the MLS SuperDraft and has since scored 57 goals in all competitions, second most in team history.

Dwyer’s 12 goals this campaign lead Sporting KC and rank seventh in MLS. Dwyer is second in MLS with 46 regular season goals since the start of 2014, tied with LA Galaxy’s Robbie Keane and 15 behind New York Red Bulls’ Bradley Wright-Phillips.

Sporting KC Coach Bios | August 20, 2016 vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes Manager | Peter Vermes

Assistant Coach | Kerry Zavagnin Assistant Coach Kerry Zavagnin first joined Kansas City in 2000 as a holding midfielder and was an integral part of the club’s midfield for the next nine seasons, during which time he helped lead the Wizards to MLS Cup (2000) and U.S. Open Cup (2004) Championships. He was named to the MLS All-Star team and the Best XI in 2004. Zavagnin’s primary duties as an assistant include scouting, developing Sporting Kansas City’s younger players, breaking down film and assisting with training sessions, among others.

Peter Vermes enters his eighth season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2016. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 125 coaching victories in all competitions are the most club history. During his tenure, he has won three major trophies – the 2012 and 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups and the 2013 MLS Cup championship – and finished atop the Eastern Conference regular season standings in 2011 and 2012.

He is the second coach to lead Sporting KC to five straight postseason appearances, as well as the only person to ever win the MLS Cup as both a player and a coach with the same team. His 101 regular season wins top the club’s all-time chart and rank eighth most in MLS history. He passed his former coach Bob Gansler as the winningest manager in team history with a 3-1 win over Real Salt Lake on Aug. 12, 2015, his 109th victory in all competitions. He has coached 285 total games during his Kansas City coaching career, most in club history.

He started his professional career with the New York/New Jersey MetroStars, where he played in 39 games over two seasons. After spending one season with the Lehigh Valley Steam (USL-1), Zavagnin came to Kansas City in 2000. He played 237 games (228 starts) and logged 20,516 minutes for Kansas City, setting team records in both categories. He scored eight goals and added 22 assists in his nine seasons in Kansas City blue. Zavagnin was named Team Defender of the Year in 2001.

Vermes oversees all soccer operations for Sporting KC, including the active roster and the Sporting KC Academy. Vermes entered MLS ahead of its inaugural season in 1996 and retired from the league in 2002, closing out his playing career in Kansas City after stints with the New York/New Jersey MetroStars and Colorado Rapids.

On top of his club success in Kansas City, Zavagnin also appeared 21 times for the United States Men’s National Team. He recorded one assist for the U.S., who went 15-2-4 when Zavagnin featured. He married his wife Mirriam prior to the 2009 season, when he became an assistant coach at the club.

Following a standout high school career in which he was named New Jersey Player of the Year, Vermes was a star forward and All-American at Rutgers University. After college, Vermes represented the United States in the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea, and was named 1988 Chevrolet U.S. Male Soccer Athlete of the Year for his efforts.

Assistant Coach | Zoran Savic

Vermes was an integral part of a young U.S. team at the 1990 World Cup in Italy, where he nearly scored a sensational goal against the host Azzurri. It was the first time the U.S. had qualified for the World Cup in 40 years and set the stage for the progress of the U.S. National Team. In 1989 and 1990, Vermes became the first American to play in the Hungarian and Dutch First Divisions, playing for Raba ETO and FC Volendam, respectively.

He later spent five years with Figueras of the Spanish Second Division.

Assistant Coach Zoran Savic joined Sporting Kansas City late in the 2009 season after a 30-year career at all levels of the game in the United States. A native of Gornji Milanovac, Yugoslavia, Savic began his journey through American soccer with the Buffalo Stallions of the Major Indoor Soccer League in 1980. Savic would go on to star for several MISL teams, with his most prosperous period coming with the Kansas City Comets, with whom he scored 70 goals in just over 100 appearances from 1982-1984.

For MLS’s inaugural season in 1996, Vermes served as captain of the New York/New Jersey MetroStars. In 1997, he was traded to the Colorado Rapids for current Sporting KC Assistant Coach Kerry Zavagnin and played in Denver through the 1999 season, leading the Rapids to the 1997 MLS Cup Final.

After retiring as a player in 1991, Savic turned his attention to coaching in the indoor game. Savic led the Kansas City Attack from 1992-1996, winning Coach of the Year honors for the 1994-1995 season while also serving as the team’s General Manager.

Savic later coached the Kansas City Comets from 2000-2005.

Vermes joined Kansas City in 2000 for what would be the most successful seasons of his MLS career. During his first year in Kansas City, he anchored one of the best defenses in league history and won MLS Defender of the Year honors in helping lead the Wizards to the 2000 MLS Cup Championship. He retired in 2002 after appearing in 209 MLS matches (including playoffs) and playing more than 18,000 minutes. In 2013, Vermes was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame.

In 2007 Savic switched to the outdoor game, joining Chivas USA as an assistant to then-head coach Preki before moving into the commentary booth for Kansas City matches in 2008 and 2009. Savic’s career as a commentator was cut short, however, when newly installed Manager Peter Vermes tabbed Savic to be part of his coaching staff late in the 2009 season.

Assistant Coach | John Pascarella Assistant Coach John Pascarella played professionally for nine seasons before beginning his coaching career in 1998 at the University of Maryland. Pascarella played club soccer with Sporting Kansas City Technical Director Peter Vermes. His playing experience took him to Peru before he returned to the United States to play in the A-League and MLS.

Fitness Coach | Mateus Manoel

Once his playing career was over, Pascarella began coaching as a member of Sasho Cirovski’s staff at Maryland. He then went on to work in Northern Virginia youth soccer circles as a high school coach and Olympic Development Program coach before becoming the Head Coach and Technical Director of the Northern Virginia Royals of the USL’s Premier Development League for two seasons.

Mateus Manoel is in his seventh season with Sporting KC as Head Fitness Coach. His responsibilities cover all aspects of sport performance and science for the team, including strength and conditioning, injury prevention, field practices, nutrition, fitness monitoring (training load and readiness), player re-adaptation following rehab and recovery.

Pascarella joined Kansas City’s technical staff in 2009 and was a goalkeeper and fitness coach until 2011, when he became an assistant.

In the summer of 2010, Manoel was an Assistant Fitness Coach for the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team during the FIFA World Cup in South Africa. He had formerly served as the Head Fitness Coach for the Mexican Men’s National Team in 2009, working with renowned coach Sven-Goran Eriksson.

During 2007 and 2008, Manoel held a position with Athletes’ Performance in the Home Depot Center in Los Angeles, where he worked with professional athletes from a variety of sports, including NFL, NHL, MLB and MLS (Chivas USA and LA Galaxy). Previously, he had assisted with strength and conditioning for D.C. United from the MLS, while concurrently holding the position of Sports Performance Director with Velocity Sports Performance in Alexandria, Virginia.

Manoel holds a Master’s degree in Exercise Physiology from George Washington University, where he was also responsible for the strength and conditioning needs of the Colonials Men’s Varsity Soccer Team. He also holds a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from the University of Maryland - College Park and is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association. Manoel was born in Brazil and is fluent in both Portuguese and Spanish.

GAME 27

SPORTING KANSAS CITY (11-12-5; 38 pts.) vs. HOUSTON DYNAMO (5-11-10; 25 pts.)

Friday, September 9, 2016 · 7 p.m. CDT · Children's Mercy Park (21,000) · Kansas City, Kansas

DYNAMO RETURN TO MLS PLAY AGAINST SPORTING KANSAS CITY The Dynamo return to MLS action following the FIFA international break to face rival Sporting Kansas City on Friday at Children's Mercy Park as part of UniMás’ Viernes de Fútbol. The Dynamo played to a scoreless draw with Chivas Guadalajara in a friendly at BBVA Compass Stadium on Sunday.

"It was a good night," Dynamo interim head coach Wade Barrett said. "It was a great exercise against a good team. Anytime you get to step away from league play I think it’s refreshing for the group...We got important minutes out of some guys that we needed to. [D] Keyner Brown played his first minutes, [MF] Yair Arboleda, [MF] Jose Escalante played their first minutes, [GK] Calle Brown stepped in and played goal second half, that was great. I thought everybody did well, good discipline out there. We got [D] DaMarcus (Beasley) back in for the last bit of the game, which was huge for us getting into this next week and beyond. There were a lot of great things to take from it.”

In their last MLS game, August 27 at BBVA Compass Stadium, the Dynamo led FC Dallas 1-0 before Dallas scored three unanswered goals midway through the second half for a 3-1 win. The Dynamo are now 3-3-3 this season when leading at halftime.

“I think we let a good team stick around too long," Barrett told media following that match. "We came out, we did exactly what I talked about.

There were three things, tactics aside, that we talked about: concentration, discipline, execution. I thought we came out with those three things.

We had another couple good chances to score in the first half, I’ve talked about when you’re on top of a good team, you’ve got to have end results, we had one goal but I thought we should have had more. We started the second half in a prett y positive way, had another chance or two, that would have put the game out of reach, and we kept them around…and the performance after that wasn’t good enough."

The Dynamo next travel to Utah to face Real Salt Lake on September 17. Houston returns home on September 24 against the Portland Timbers.

GAME 27

THE LAST TIME THEY MET

HOUSTON METHODIST INJURY REPORT

HOUSTON (May 7, 2016) -- The Houston Dynamo defeated Sporting Kansas City 2-0 at BBVA Compass Stadium in front of 20,071 fans. The Dynamo jumped out to a 2-0 halftime lead thanks to goals from MF Giles Barnes in the 30th minute and MF Andrew Wenger in first-half stoppage time. The win snapped a six-game winless skid for Houston and improved the Dynamo’s record on the season to 2-5-2 on the year (8 points).

*Report as of Tuesday, September 6.

OUT: Tyler Deric (L elbow sprain); Agus Garcia (L knee sprain); Abdoulie Mansally (R quad strain) DOUBTFUL: Andrew Wenger (R calf strain) QUESTIONABLE: Will Bruin (L knee effusion); David Horst (L hamstring tightness) PROBABLE: DaMarcus Beasley (L knee surgery)

FW Erick Torres, making his first start of the season, set up Barnes’ opener with a deft volley with the outside of his right foot that played the captain in for a first-touch shot. The second score came just moments before halftime when Barnes and MF Cristián Maidana linked up and Maidana fed a pass into space behind the Sporting back line. Wenger ran on, took a touch, and blasted a shot from an angle that beat Sporting GK Tim Melia inside the near post.

DYNAMO VS. SPORTING KC SERIES Friday is the 25th all-time regular-season meeting between the Dynamo and Sporting KC. Houston holds a 9-5-10 edge in the series, including a 4-2-5 mark in road games.

After halftime, the Dynamo overcame the season-long bugaboo of allowing late goals and successfully killed off the match, preserving a clean sheet for the second time this season.

Date 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 5/7/2016

Prior to the match, the Dynamo honored longtime fan Leo Ponce, who passed away last month, by dedicating the row in which he sat in his memory. Row 1 of Section 133 at BBVA Compass Stadium will now be known as “Leo’s Row,” and the seats in that row will be donated to first-time fans in honor of Ponce’s passion for introducing new fans to the club and the sport.

The Houston Dynamo played to a 0-0 draw with Chivas Guadalajara of Liga MX in a friendly match Sunday evening at BBVA Compass Stadium.

It was the second all-time meeting between the clubs. Chivas captured a 1-0 win over the Dynamo in the SuperLiga group stage on July 15, 2008 at Robertson Stadium.

Three newcomers made their Dynamo debut, with D Keyner Brown and MFs Yair Arboleda and José Escalante in the starting lineup after joining the club during the Summer Transfer Window. Additionally, GK Calle Brown made his Dynamo debut after spending the full season with the club and appearing in several preseason games.

D DaMarcus Beasley entered the match in the 71st minute for his first appearance since July 8 at Orlando City. The Dynamo defender missed seven weeks after undergoing surgery to remove a loose body in his left knee.

Chivas brought a strong traveling roster, including new signing F Alan Pulido, who made his Chivas debut as a halftime substitute. F Isaac Brizuela, MFs José Vásquez, Nestor Calderon and Eduardo López and D Miguel Ponce also featured for Los Rojiblancos.

Houston’s best scoring chances in the first half included FW Mauro Manotas forcing a save at the near post after a neat layoff from Arboleda early in the first half. Later, MF Ricardo Clark had a shot cleared off the line by a Chivas defender from a corner kick.

DYNAMO LOAN ERICK TORRES TO CRUZ AZUL

In the second half, MF Cristián Maidana missed the target after a nice Houston buildup and pass from Escalante. Earlier, Manotas missed wide with a chance from the top of the box.

Houston Dynamo forward Erick Torres joined Mexican club Cruz Azul on loan for the remainder of 2016, pending Cruz Azul’s receipt of his International Transfer Certificate, the clubs announced on Saturday.

Chivas Guadalajara vs. Houston Dynamo Friendly Match—Attendance: 14,872 September 4, 2016—BBVA Compass Stadium—Houston, Texas

Torres, 23, has one assist in 11 appearances (four starts) with the Dynamo this season. The Designated Player and Guadalajara native was a part of Mexico’s squad at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, making two appearances (one start).

“After careful consideration as a club, and following discussions with Erick, we feel at this time he will benefit from a fresh environment going on loan with Cruz Azul,” Dynamo VP/general manager Matt Jordan said. “We will be monitoring his progress and wish him well while away on loan.”

Chivas Guadalajara: Antonio Rodriguez (Rodolfo Cota 46); Miguel Basulto (Jair Pereira 46, Oswaldo Alanis 83), Miguel Ponce, Carlos Villanueva (Jesus Sanchez 46), Edwin Herndez (Hedgardo Marin 46); Josue Lazaro (Jose Vazquez 46), Nestor Calderon (Michael Perez 46); Edson Torres (Eduardo Lopez 46); Mauro Contreras (Isaac Brizuela 46), Alejandro Zendejas (Alan Pulido 46); Marco Bueno (Michelle Benitez 36, Carlos Cisneros 62)

Referee: Ricardo Salazar

Cruz Azul holds an option to execute a permanent transfer at the conclusion of the loan period. If the transfer is not executed, Torres will return to the Dynamo for the 2017 preseason.

HOUSTON-KANSAS CITY SPORTS RIVALRY

DEFENSIVE RECORD UNDER WADE BARRETT SECOND BEST IN MLS

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:

Through 14 MLS games with Wade Barrett as interim head coach, the Dynamo goals against average is 1.00, which would be tied for the second-best defensive record in MLS since May 25, when Barrett was appointed.

The Dynamo bounced Sporting KC from the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup with a 3-1 win in the Round of 16 on June 29. Last year, 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.

GAME 27

SO CLOSE, YET SO FAR...

MIDFIELD CARRYING SCORING LOAD

With eight games left in the regular season, the Dynamo sit in last place in the Western Conference, but a closer look at the results shows that the Orange are painfully close to being a playoff team.

The Dynamo have 29 goals through 26 games this season (1.12 goals per game), and the midfield has largely carried the scoring load this season.

The Dynamo midfield has truly been a two-way unit in 2017, led by Andrew Wenger's team-high five goals.

In six games this season, Houston surrendered goals after the 75th minute which cost the team precious points. Adding up the time when each of those goals were conceded, the Dynamo are a mere 46 minutes (out of 2,250 played so far this season) away from being a playoff team in the West.

In addition to Wenger, Ricardo Clark (4 goals), Giles Barnes (4 goals), Alex Lima (3 goals), Cristian Maidana (3 goals) and Leonel Miranda (1 goal) have also contributed to the scoring load from the Dynamo midfield.

Below is a breakdown of total goals scored this season by position:

Looking at those six games alone, the 13 points dropped, if added to the Dynamo total, would move Houston from 25 points to 38, which would put the team in a tie for fifth in the Western Conference standings with Sporting Kansas CIty. DATE OPP. SCORE AT 75' 3/6 vs. NE 3-2 (77th min.)

2016 GAME NOTES

GAME 27

DYNAMO DEFENDING WELL UNDER WADE BARRETT

NO EASY ROAD

The Dynamo have excelled defensively under interim head coach Wade Barrett, who played left back for 140 games in all competitions as a player with Houston. A few notes on the defensive record under Barrett:

The Dynamo coaching staff and players emphasized the importance of improving the club's road form this season. Through 13 road games, Houston is 1-9-3, with one win and three draws in seven road games under interim head coach Wade Barrett. The Dynamo were 0-6-0 on the road under Owen Coyle this season before his May 25 departure.

• The Dynamo have allowed just 14 goals in 14 league games (1.00 goals per game) under Barrett, including four shutouts. Including the U.S. Open Cup, Houston has conceded 16 goals in 17 games (0.94 goals per game) under the former Dynamo captain.

• Before Barrett was appointed interim head coach on May 25, the Dynamo allowed 20 goals in their first 12 games (1.67 goals per game).

• The Dynamo allowed 12 road goals in six road games (2.0 goals per game) before Barrett took chrage. Houston has allowed eight road goals in seven road games under Barrett (1.14 goals per game).

• Houston has allowed an average of 12.14 shots (170 in 14 MLS games) and 4.29 shots on goal per game (60 in 14 MLS games) under Barrett.

Houston allowed 13.9 shots per game before Barrett took over.

Before Friday's 2-1 win at San Jose, Houston's previous road win also came at San Jose on July 10, 2015, a 2-0 victory. The Dynamo were 0-15-5 in their previous 20 road games before Friday's win.

The Dynamo are not alone with their road struggles in 2016. Nine MLS clubs have one road win or less this season: San Jose, Houston, Chicago, Columbus, New England, Orlando City, D.C. United, and the New York Red Bulls. The Portland Timbers, the 2015 MLS Cup champions, are the lone team without a road win in 2016.

Here is Houston's road record through team history:

CLARK PASSES ASHE FOR NO. 2 ON GAMES LIST

The Dynamo set a club record by extending their home shutout streak to 550 minutes before giving up a goal to San Jose F Chris Wondolowski in the 59th minute of the 1-1 draw on July 31. Houston had not conceded a goal at BBVA Compass Stadium since the 49th minute against the LA Galaxy on April 15 and had kept clean sheets in each of the five previous league matches at BBVA Compass Stadium. The previous record was 545 minutes from June 7 – August 25, 2007.

Dynamo MF Ricardo Clark made his 212th career regular-season appearance with the Dynamo on July 15 at the LA Galaxy, passing Corey Ashe for second on the club list. Clark is now in second place in Dynamo history in six major categories related to games, starts and minutes.

Clark is second is regular season games (218), starts (210) and minutes (18,517). He is also second in games (267), starts (255) and minutes (22,431) in all competitions with Houston.

2016 GAME NOTES

GAME 27

WADE BARRETT NAMED INTERIM HEAD COACH FOR 2016 SEASON The Houston Dynamo appointed Wade Barrett as interim head coach for the remainder of the 2016 season on June 7. Barrett is in his seventh season on the Dynamo coaching staff. Following the resignation of head coach Owen Coyle, he led the team and the coaching staff for the last two games, garnering 1-1 draws on the road at Vancouver Whitecaps FC and FC Dallas. The two draws earned Houston its first points on the road this season after an 0-6-0 start away from home.

“Wade has given a lot to this club through the years, first as a player and now as a coach, and we believe he is the right person to lead the team at this time,” Dynamo VP/general manager Matt Jordan said. “Our goals set forth in preseason remain the same, as we prepare to start the U.S. Open Cup next Wednesday and resume league play. As an organization we are focused on moving forward to achieve our goals and have a successful season.”

Barrett, 39, was team captain as the Dynamo won the MLS Cup in 2006 and 2007 and wore the captain’s armband for 138 of his 140 all-time appearances with Houston. The former defender transitioned from player to coach in 2010 and served on the staff of Dominic Kinnear as the club reached the MLS Cup final after both the 2011 and 2012 seasons.

“I want to thank Gabriel Brener and the ownership group, Chris Canetti and Matt Jordan for the chance to lead this club forward,” Barrett said. “Houston is my home and this club, in its entirety, is in my blood. We have a tremendous opportunity to create a standard of performance that will make the city and our fans proud.”

The Virginia Beach, Virginia native assisted on the first goal in Dynamo history and played every league and playoff game except one in the Dynamo’s back-to-back championship seasons of 2006 and 2007. Capped twice for the United States national team, Barrett was an MLS All-Star and named to the MLS Best XI in 2002. He finished his Dynamo career with 140 games, 139 starts, and 12,399 minutes played in all competitions. He appeared in 99 career regular season and 11 career playoff games for Houston.

“We do face challenges over the next few months but also great opportunity,” Barrett said. “This club was built on the foundations of hard work, discipline and selfless work towards a common goal. We will use that as our platform to improve in all areas both on and off the field. The Dynamo have a championship pedigree, but we can't look back. Day by day, week by week, we will look to drive this team forward to become the best version of ourselves we can be.”

Barrett attended the College of William & Mary and completed a B.A. in economics via correspondence in his early days as a professional with the San Jose Clash. He remained in San Jose as the franchise became the Earthquakes and won the 2001 MLS Cup title, then played with Aarhus (Denmark) and Fredrikstad (Norway) from 2002-04. He rejoined the Earthquakes in 2005, Dominic Kinnear’s second year as head coach, as club captain, and helped them capture the Supporters’ Shield. Prior to the 2006 season, Barrett moved to Houston along with the rest of the players and team staff to become the Dynamo.

Assistant coaches Paul Caffrey and Paul Rogers will continue to assist Barrett on the club’s technical staff after the trio managed the team for two road games following the May 25 departure of Coyle.

Paul Caffrey is in his second season with the Dynamo in 2016. The Dublin, Ireland native holds experience in MLS and with the United States national team program. Caffrey spent 2014 at Chivas USA as the first assistant coach under Wilmer Cabrera. He served as an assistant coach and fitness coach with the Colorado Rapids on Oscar Pareja’s staff from 2012-13.

Caffrey also was the first assistant coach under Cabrera with the United States under-17 national team from 2007-11 and oversaw the physical preparation and fitness training of the team.

Caffrey played four seasons with the Long Island Rough Riders after a four-year college career at Adelphi University. Caffrey’s experience also includes roles as the director of coaching with the Rough Riders from 2003-05 and head coach and assistant athletic director with Suffolk County (New York) Community College from 2002-07.

Paul Rogers joined the Dynamo in 2015 after serving as the U.S. Women's National Team goalkeeper coach since 2009. The Brighton, England native joined the U.S. women’s national team as goalkeeper coach in March 2009 and helped lead the U.S. to a gold medal at the 2012 Olympic Games and a second-place finish at the 2010 FIFA Women’s World Cup. Rogers served as goalkeeper coach for the Canada Women’s National Team in 2008, helping them to a runner-up finish in CONCACAF Olympic Qualifying and the team’s first appearance in the Olympics, where they reached the quarterfinals. He holds a USSF A License, UEFA B License, UEFA B Goalkeeper License and NSCAA Goalkeeper License, as well as a bachelor’s degree in sport administration from Indianapolis University.

As a player, Rogers had spells with several professional and semi-professional clubs in England, including time as a youth player with Queens Park Rangers, Plymouth Argyle and Brighton and as a senior player with Brighton & Hove Albion.

2016 GAME NOTES

GAME 27

ERIC ALEXANDER: MAN OF THE WORLD Eric Alexander is just 28 years old, but could offer a proper to-do list in four prominent North American cities spanning both coasts and the Lone Star state. For Alexander, a six-year MLS veteran with 172 career appearances, life in Major League Soccer includes the constant understanding that a trade could uproot your sense of permanence. It also makes moving across a continent – from Dallas to Portland to New York City to Montreal and now, Houston – with Kaya, Alexander’s eight-year-old Rottweiler, virtually impossible.

ing the ball from the middle third to the offensive third of the field,” Dynamo VP/GM Matt Jordan said. “His forward passing percentage is amongst the highest in the league, and that’s something that we feel we can continue to improve on [as a team].”

“I think it’s important to be able to connect all the players and not just rely on long balls and things like that,” Alexander said. “Soccer is so mental, and trying to find different areas to give the creative guys and the finishers the ball is always a challenge. I think that’s one area that I hope to help in.”

Alexander has two friendly faces in the Dynamo locker room: Will Bruin and David Horst. Alexander and Bruin were teammates for two seasons at Indiana University, where Alexander earned an Economics degree, following the studies of his father, an Economics professor at Western Michigan University.

For now, Kaya lives with Alexander’s parents Donald and Donna in Portage, Michigan. Alexander’s hometown is just south of Kalamazoo, on the west side of the Wolverine state, halfway between Chicago and Detroit.

“Will was a great guy in college, and he ended up living down the street, and we did a lot of team bonding because we had a bunch of guys that lived on one street, so it was a good time.”

Alexander moved to Houston, his fifth MLS city, on July 26, days after the Dynamo acquired him from the Montreal Impact in a trade to bolster the midfield. Alexander started five of six games before the trade and figures to compete for a starting position in the Dynamo midfield, where his versatility and quality led to 80 consecutive MLS appearances with the New York Red Bulls and Impact from October 2012 to June 2015.

Alexander and Horst were teammates for two seasons (2011-12) with the Portland Timbers.

“It’s very nice [to be wanted by the Dynamo],” Alexander told Forever Orange magazine. “Talking with [interim head coach Wade Barrett and GM Matt Jordan], I’m very excited to get going and see what I can bring to the team and hopefully provide some competition for positions and make the overall group better.”

Alexander has mostly played as a central midfielder, in a No. 6 or No. 8 role, but also played on the right wing for the Red Bulls. His two best MLS seasons coincided with the best two-year run in New York’s history. Alexander played all 68 regular-season games and seven playoff contests in 2013 and 2014, starting all but nine. The Red Bulls won the MLS Supporters’ Shield with the league’s best regular season record in 2013 before falling to the Dynamo in the playoffs. A year later, Alexander set a career-high with nine assists as New York reached the Eastern Conference Championships.

“Dave was always a very nice guy, very welcoming, and he’s done the same here. He’s a good guy to hang out with outside of soccer, very charismatic.”

Now settling into the Bayou City, Alexander is closer to family, with sister Meredith living in Dallas.

“It’s nice because she moved to Dallas when I used to play for Dallas, so it was nice to have some family there. It’s nice to be back in Texas and we are fairly close and we’ll be able to see each other a lot more than before.”

This article appears in the August issue of the We Are Orange gameday magazine.

“It was just a good, hard working team,” Alexander remembers of those Red Bulls teams. “It was a good group of guys, and we had faith in each other and that training environment was good and everything about it, it was one of those things where everything came together. I’m sure Houston has experienced it (too), winning several championships. That good push you get as a group. You go out every day and everyone tries to make each other better. It’s hard to explain. It’s just a good group of guys and people who wanted to win.”

The Reb Bulls led the league with 58 goals in 2013 and scored 55 goals a year later, most in the Eastern Conference. The New York midfield, featuring a combination of Alexander, Dax McCarty, Tim Cahill, Lloyd Sam and Jonny Steele, supplied the high-powered attack for forwards Thierry Henry and Bradley Wright-Phillips, who combined to score 37 goals in 2014.

The Dynamo like Alexander’s ability to increase the tempo in midfield and cycle the ball quickly to the attacking players. “He’s very good at transition-
