Sporting KC Game Notes | October 21, 2023 vs. Minnesota United FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #SKCvMIN: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#SKCvMIN: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City (11-14-8, 41 pts.) is facing a do-or-die scenario this weekend when the team plays host to Minnesota United FC (10-12-11, 41 pts.) at Children’s Mercy Park on Saturday night. Both teams need a win to have a chance of making the playoffs, with the winner clinching their spot should one of Portland, Dallas or San Jose drop points.

Sporting has won both of the earlier meetings with Minnesota this year, starting with a 3-0 victory on May 13 at Children’s Mercy Park. Dany Rosero headed home his first goal for the club before Daniel Salloi finished off a flowing move to double the lead. Gadi Kinda added a third late on to cap the win.

Sporting claimed an unlikely three points for just their second-ever win at Allianz Field on Sept. 16. After weathering a Minnesota storm early in the second half, Sporting pounced as substitutes Roger Espinoza and Gadi Kinda linked up to strike late on and claim a 1-0 victory.

Sporting holds a 10-4-4 record against the Loons in MLS regular-season play, including a perfect 8-0-0 record at home. However, during the last win-or-go-home situation between the two sides in Kansas City, it was Minnesota who showed up big with a 3-0 victory at Children’s Mercy Park in the 2020 MLS Cup Playoffs.

Sporting KC Team Notes • Sporting enter the weekend two points out of playoff position in the Western Conference. The team has advanced to the playoffs in 10 of the previous 12 seasons since 2011.

• Since the start of May, Sporting lead the West in points (38), wins (11) and goals per game (1.83) while ranking third in goal differential (+7). Sporting’s seven losses during that time are also tied for the fewest in the conference.

• Sporting are looking to become the first team in MLS history to reach the playoffs after failing to win its first 10 regular season matches.

• Sporting are tied for second in MLS with five league wins since Aug. 26, including two wins in four away matches. The team had won just three of its previous 32 regular season away games from October 2021 through July 2023.

• Sporting are 15-3-5 in regular season home finales in the non-shootout era.

• Sporting are 8-2-2 in regular season home finales at Children’s Mercy Park since the stadium opened in 2011.

• Sporting are unbeaten in 12 October home matches (10-0-2) since 2015.

• Sporting have scored 28 goals in the first half this season, the most in the West.

• Sporting have scored 62.2% of their regular season goals in the first half, the highest clip in the league (28 of 45).

• Sporting have scored first in 15 of their last 21 matches across all competitions, posting an 8-2-5 record in those 15 games.

• Sporting rank fourth in MLS in overall passing accuracy (85.0%) and third in both passing accuracy in the attacking half (79.1%) and passing accuracy in the final third (76.0%).

Sporting Kansas City received a timely boost on Oct. 7 with the return of captain Johnny Russell from suspension, and the Scotsman made his mark on the match by tallying the team’s second goal of the eventual 3-2 victory midway through the first half.

Russell had been shown a straight red card following VAR intervention during the 2-1 home win over Houston Dynamo FC on Sept. 23 and missed the club’s 4-1 setback at St. Louis on Sept. 30 while serving his one-game suspension.

Sporting KC will clinch a berth in the 2023 MLS Cup Playoffs if...

• Sporting KC wins vs. Minnesota, AND • Portland (vs. HOU) or Dallas (at LA) or San Jose (vs. ATX) draw or lose

Stepping right back into his role as captain in Salt Lake City, Russell led by example and fired home a well-taken first-time finish in the 29th minute for his seventh goal of the season across all competitions.

Sporting KC will be eliminated from 2023 MLS Cup Playoffs contention if...

• Sporting KC draws or loses vs. Minnesota OR • Sporting KC wins vs. Minnesota, AND • Portland (vs. HOU) or Dallas (at LA) or San Jose (vs. ATX) win

Now in his sixth season with the club, Russell has tallied 60 goals and 42 assists in 192 matches and is one of just three players in club history to surpass 100 goal contributions.

Saturday’s match is finely poised, as Minnesota finds themselves in the exact same scenario as Sporting, as only a win will do in their chase of the postseason.

PULSKAMP CALLED IN TO U.S. OLYMPIC TEAM

Sporting Kansas City goalkeeper John Pulskamp made his debut with the U.S. Men’s Olympic National Team on Tuesday, playing 27 minutes as a second-half substitute in the United States’ 4-1 win over Japan at Phoenix Rising Stadium.

Since the start of May, Sporting have gone 11-7-5 in MLS play, scoring 42 goals along the way after going 0-7-3 and scoring just three goals in its first 10 league matches through the end of April. In that span, Sporting lead the West in points (38), wins (11) and goals per game (1.83) while ranking third in goal differential (+7). Sporting’s seven losses during that time are also tied for the fewest in the conference.

Pulskamp entered the friendly in the 63rd minute with the scoreline at 3-1 behind goals from Johan Gomez, Paxten Aaronson and Aidan Morris before Duncan McGuire added a fourth for the United States on a set piece in the 73rd minute.

ALL TO PLAY FOR vs. LOONS

Sporting Kansas City heads into Decision Day still fighting for a spot in the MLS Cup Playoffs and will take part in the most intriguing match of the weekend, hosting Minnesota United FC at Children’s Mercy Park in a game where only the winner has a chance to reach the postseason.

Tuesday’s match concluded the U.S. U-23 training camp as part of preparation for the 2024 Olympic Games next summer in France. The U.S. qualified for its first Olympic tournament in 16 years by winning the 2022 Concacaf U-20 Championship.

Pulskamp, 22, continues to earn opportunities with the United States national teams after joining the U.S. senior national team for a training camp in December 2021. The goalkeeper previously competed at a U.S. U-18 training camp in June 2018 before making his U.S. U-20 debut in a friendly against rivals Mexico on Jan. 18, 2020.

Saturday marks the third regular-season meeting between the two sides in 2023, with Sporting going 2-0-0 against the Loons already this season. Sporting hosted Minnesota on May 13 and cruised to a 3-0 win behind goals from Dany Rosero, Daniel Salloi and Gadi Kinda, while Tim Melia also saved a penalty on the night.

SPORTING KC ANNOUNCES AWARD WINNERS

Sporting claimed a rare win at Allianz Field last month, earning a narrow 1-0 victory on Sept. 16. After weathering a barrage of Minnesota pressure in the second half, Gadi Kinda came off the bench to score a late winner for Sporting.

Sporting Kansas City announced recipients of the club’s annual awards on Friday, Oct. 13 at Children’s Mercy Park during Pitch Black presented by Audi. Votes cast by Sporting players, fans and media determined the following award winners: • • • • • •

Sporting leads the all-time regular-season series with Minnesota 10-4-4, including an unblemished 8-0-0 record at home. However, in the last win or go home match between the two sides at Children’s Mercy Park in the 2020 MLS Cup Playoffs, it was Minnesota who claimed a 3-0 upset victory.

PULIDO BOOSTS CASE FOR COMEBACK PLAYER OF THE YEAR

Sporting Kansas City forward Alan Pulido notched his 14th goal of ther MLS regular season and his 15th goal in all competitions on Oct. 7 in the crucial 3-2 victory over Real Salt Lake at America First Field.

Most Valuable Player: Alan Pulido Offensive Player of the Year: Erik Thommy Defensive Player of the Year: Jake Davis Newcomer of the Year: Dany Rosero Goal of the Year: Erik Thommy Save of the Year: Tim Melia

Sporting Kansas City also announced award winners in the following categories: • • • • •

Pulido stepped up to take a penalty kick late on in the contest and while his effort was saved - his first penalty miss with Sporting - the Mexican was on hand to volley home the rebound with what would stand as the third and game-winning goal of the match following RSL’s furious but ultimately futile comeback attempt.

Golden Boot: Alan Pulido Neal and Jeanne Patterson Humanitarian of the Year: Graham Zusi Sporting KC II Most Valuable Player: Lucas Rosa Bob Gansler Academy Player of the Year: Nati Clarke Sporting Club Network Member of the Year: Sporting Wichita

POSTGAME: #RSLvSKC

Pulido, who is a front-runner for MLS Comeback Player of the Year, not only leads the team with 15 goals in all competitions but is also tied for the team lead with 18 goal contributions alongside Erik Thommy.

Sporting Kansas City Manager Peter Vermes On Real Salt Lake’s early red card and Erik Thommy’s free kick goal…

“Thank God for VAR because I was surprised it wasn’t called during the regular play.

It was so obvious. I got scared from that when it wasn’t called, and in fact, (RSL) went down the other way on us. For us it was so obvious, it was a “Why are we even playing?” type of thing. Thank God for VAR. It was big time for Thomy to score his free kick. It’s not like it’s a penalty kick, so him hitting that ball was a great finish.”

THOMMY SHOWS OFFENSIVE CHOPS vs. RSL

Sporting Kansas City midfielder Erik Thommy was at his scintillating best on Oct. 7 when he led the club to a vital 3-2 victory over Real Salt Lake at America First Field, tallying a goal and an assist on the night.

First, Thommy drew a red card on RSL centerback Justen Glad just 37 seconds into the contest - a decision ultimately made following VAR intervention - before stepping up to fire home the ensuing free kick and give his side an early lead.

On Real Salt Lake’s late rally…

“What we should be talking about is we scored three goals on the road. (RSL) is a team that is very stingy in giving goals away. We got another three points to keep us alive at the moment. It’s well done by the guys. The rest of it is the game. It’s why people watch sports. Our guys battled to the end. They did what they had to do, they fought through it and we got all three points. Now we’re on to the next game at home.”

Thommy then turned provider, earning a secondary assist on Johnny Russell’s goal later in the first half when his perfectly-weighted pass sent Logan Ndenbe scampering down the left wing who found Russell to convert.

On Sporting’s regular season finale against Minnesota United FC on Oct. 21…

“What’s happened in the past never matters. It’s going to be a war between both teams, so we have to get prepared. I’m surprised by the change they made as a club. I think Adrian (Heath) is a very good coach in this league. I think that he has guided that club for seven years and done a great job. He built a very good team, and that is a very good team. It’s going to be an absolute battle of a game for us.”

The German attacker now has five goals and 13 assists in all competitions this season, tied with Alan Pulido for the most goal contributions on the team. Thommy has become the fifth player in club history to hit 11 assists in a single regular season, while Sporting are 10-1-3 this season when he tallies a goal or assist. Since joining the club in 2022, Sporting is a perfect 8-0-0 when Thommy scores in the regular season.

SPORTING KC AND CHILDREN’S MERCY KANSAS CITY CONTINUE TO IMPACT LOCAL COMMUNITY Nationally recognized for delivering high-quality, compassionate pediatric care, Children’s Mercy Kansas City began a 10-year partnership with Sporting KC in 2016 to promote health and fitness among area children and provide specialized sports medicine to a youth athlete market that has experienced a substantial increase in sports-related injuries.

The comprehensive partnership between Sporting KC and Children’s Mercy Kansas City – which includes naming rights to Sporting KC’s world-class stadium, Children’s Mercy Park, as well as the Sporting KC II and Sporting KC Academy complex at Swope Soccer Village – is also at the forefront of Sporting’s state-of-the-art training ground at Compass Minerals National Performance Center. In a first-of-its-kind collaboration between a professional sports team, a national sports federation and a sports medicine provider, the facility opened in 2018 and features the Children’s Mercy Sports Medicine Center alongside Sporting Kansas City and U.S. Soccer.

Children’s Mercy Kansas City is also the official healthcare and sports medicine provider for the Sporting Kansas City Academy and Compass Minerals National Performance Center as part of a multi-faceted partnership that focuses on the following three components to impact the local community: 1. Improving access to pediatric-trained sports medicine • The Children’s Mercy Sports Medicine Center at Village West is located inside Compass Minerals National Performance Center and offers a full range of sports medicine services, resources and programming for youth athletes. More than two million high-school athletes and 3.5 million children under age 14 are injured each year in the U.S. playing sports. Only a small percentage are treated by pediatric-trained sports medicine specialists who truly understand the youth’s growing body, developing brain and unique psychosocial stressors.

2. Strengthening community • The partnership directly supports The Victory Project, Sporting’s foundation to help children - including those with cancer and disabilities – through all of life’s challenges.

• Sporting KC players and staff engage with, encourage and inspire Children’s Mercy patients throughout the year during hospital visits and special events.

• REX, an innovative remote experience robot operated on an iPad, regularly attends Sporting KC home matches to provide an all-access interactive experience for patients at Children’s Mercy. Manufactured by Double Robotics, REX allows users to enjoy two-way live audio and video captured from a 150-degree wide-angle lens while navigating the robot to control their own VIP behind-the-scenes journey.

• Launched in 2018, the RED CARD campaign addresses one of the most significant social issues impacting children nationwide by empowering youth and adults to prevent and intervene in bullying. Through school assemblies and community-wide messaging, the RED CARD initiative aims to reach children, parents, teachers and coaches who have daily opportunities to create supportive environments and stop bullying in its tracks.

3. Protecting youth athletes and educating parents and coaches • The partnership provides soccer-specific curriculum (nutrition, injury prevention, rehabilitation, advanced cardiovascular training, etc.) for the Sporting Club Network, which includes approximately 200,000 players, parents, coaches and administrators across the Midwest.

• The partnership provides sports training, rehabilitation and conditioning programs for the Sporting KC Academy’s six teams at Swope Soccer Village, which hosts Sporting KC II home matches as well as year-round athletic leagues, tournaments and other marquee events.

Sporting KC Game Notes | October 21, 2023 vs. Minnesota United FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes MANAGER & SPORTING DIRECTOR | PETER VERMES

ASSISTANT COACH | KERRY ZAVAGNIN

Peter Vermes is in his 15th season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2023 with a new five-year extension and is the longest-tenured active head coach in MLS. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 234 coaching victories in all competitions are the most club history. During his tenure, he has won four major trophies – the 2012, 2015 and 2017 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, as well as the Western Conference in 2018 and 2020. His three U.S. Open Cup championships are the third most in Open Cup history. He is the first coach in club history to lead Sporting KC to eight 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 194 regularseason wins top the club’s all-time chart and rank fourth 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.

In 2023, Kerry Zavagnin breaks the MLS record as he enters his 24th season with one club as a player or coach. 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. He started his professional career with the MetroStars, where he played in 39 games over two seasons. After spending one season with the Lehigh Valley Steam (USL-1), Zavagnin came to KC in 2000. He played 237 games and logged 20,516 minutes for Kansas City, setting team records in both categories before being overtaken by Matt Besler early in 2018. He scored eight goals and added 22 assists in his nine seasons in KC. Zavagnin was named Team Defender of the Year in 2001. On top of his club success in Kansas City, Zavagnin also appeared 21 times for the U.S. Men’s National Team. He recorded one assist for the U.S., who went 15-2-4 when Zavagnin featured.

ASSISTANT COACH | ZORAN SAVIC

On August 4, 2018, Vermes coached his 302nd MLS regular-season game with Sporting KC, becoming the league’s all-time leader in games coached for one club. He was named the first-ever MLS Sporting Executive of the Year by his peers in 2018. Vermes has coached 554 total games during his Kansas City coaching career, most in club history.

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. 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. 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.

With over 15 years of service at Sporting KC, Vermes is one of the longest serving managers in world soccer. Among all 18 leagues with an average attendance of 10,000+, Vermes ranks second, only behind 2. Bundesliga side FC Heidenheim’s Frank Schmidt (Sept. 17, 2007 – present). Among the top 126 leagues in the world as denoted by the CIES Football Observatory, Vermes’ tenure at Sporting KC ranks as the sixth longest active run.

Vermes oversees all soccer operations for Sporting KC, including the active roster, Sporting Kansas City II (MLS NEXT Pro) 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.

ASSISTANT COACH | ASH WALLACE Ash Wallace has served on Sporting Kansas City’s technical staff since 2012, aiding the first team coaching staff in a variety of roles. Wallace, originally from England, helps scout and develop game plans for upcoming opponents, assists in planning and executing training sessions and provides valuable analysis for coaches and players regarding strategy.

Wallace holds a U.S. Soccer A License. Wallace’s first involvement with the club came in August 2012 when he was contracted to produce a detailed scouting report on Seattle Sounders FC ahead of the U.S. Open Cup Final, helping Sporting claim their first of four major titles during a trophy-laden decade. Prior to joining Sporting KC, Wallace was a member of the Preston North End coaching staff and also served as an opposition scout for Fleetwood Town in his native England. Earlier in his career, he worked with Preston North End’s women’s academy teams and Penwortham Boys academy teams while earning a Degree in Sports Coaching from the University of Central Lancashire.

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.

Vermes was an integral part of a young U.S. team at the 1990 World Cup in Italy, where he nearly scored 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 Figueres of the Spanish Second Division.

GOALKEEPER COACH | ALEC DUFTY

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.

Alec Dufty is in his eighth season with Sporting Kansas City having been introduced to the organization as the Sporting KC II goalkeeper coach in the side’s inaugural season in 2016. In his first season working with the Sporting KC first team, starting goalkeeper Tim Melia enjoyed a recordbreaking season where he was named the 2017 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year. A former MLS player, Dufty began his playing career with the New York Red Bulls in 2009, making one appearance before joining the MLS reserve goalkeeper pool. In 2010, Dufty joined USSF D2 Pro League side AC St. Louis, making 30 appearances before returning to MLS with the Chicago Fire in late 2010. He announced his retirement at the conclusion of the 2011 season. Dufty then took to coaching, first working with Florida Gulf Coast University and then the University of Illinois at Chicago. In 2015, Dufty served as goalkeeper coach for Toronto FC II in their inaugural USL Championship season.

Vermes joined Kansas City in 2000 for what would be the most successful season 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.
