Following a 1-1 draw with the Colorado Rapids in the Rocky Mountains, firstplace Seattle Sounders FC (17-6-7, 58 points) returns to the Emerald City for a pivotal Western Conference matchup against second-place Sporting Kansas City (15-7-7, 52 points) Saturday afternoon at Lumen Field. With the road result in Colorado, Seattle locked up a top-four spot in the Western Conference standings, assuring the side a home playoff game in the 2021 Audi MLS Cup Playoffs. Sporting Kansas City can secure a postseason berth with a win on Saturday, in addition to a number of scenarios the club can clinch with a loss or draw. The two sides have faced off against each other two other times this season, with each squad winning on the road. A contest at Lumen Field on July 25 saw Sporting secure all three points, fighting to a 3-1 victory. The Rave Green got their revenge on September 26 when they traveled to Children’s Mercy Park and left with a 2-1 victory. The latter result vaulted Seattle into the top spot in the Western Conference, a position they have held since. Seattle holds the advantage in the all-time regular-season series between the two sides with a 10-8-4 record against Kansas City (5-4-2 both at home and away). Following Seattle’s match against Sporting Kansas City, the squad will once again hit the road, this time for a matchup against LAFC on Tuesday, October 26 (7:30 p.m. PT / ESPN, KJR 1090 AM, El Rey 1360 AM).

SOUNDERS FC vs. SPORTING KANSAS CITY | OCTOBER 23, 2021 - 12:30 P.M. PT

SOUNDERS FC GAME NOTES SERIES AT A GLANCE Sounders FC has a storied history with Sporting Kansas City that dates back to Seattle’s inagural year in Major League Soccer, when the Midwestern club was known as the Kansas City Wizards. The two sides first met at Lumen Field on April 11, 2009, with the Rave Green suffering their first loss in MLS history. The series has been nothing but competitive since. Seattle holds the advantage in the all-time regular-season series between the squads with a 10-8-4 record. However, Sporting Kansas City has outscored Seattle by a mark of 28-26 and handed Sounders FC three straight regular-season losses before the most recent matchup. The two sides have split their two meetings so far in 2021, a 3-1 SKC win at Lumen Field on July 25 and a 2-1 Seattle win on September 26 at Children’s Mercy Park. While Seattle started the regular-season series strong, losing just one of its first 10 games against Sporting Kansas City, it has won only three of the 12 regular-season matchups since. The Western Conference rivals have met once in the postseason back on October 27, 2016, a 1-0 win for the Rave Green at Lumen Field en route to their first MLS Cup title. The two clubs also met in the 2012 U.S. Open Cup Final, where Sounders FC fell to SKC on penalties, snapping its streak of three straight USOC titles.

SOUNDERS FC GAME NOTES SOUNDERS CLINCH PLAYOFFS AGAIN

With Seattle Sounders FC’s win against Vancouver Whitecaps FC on October 9, the club clinched a spot in the Audi 2021 MLS Cup Playoffs for the 13th consecutive year. The Rave Green have never missed the playoffs since joining MLS in 2009, fighting to a third-place finish in its inaugural year. 13 straight playoff appearances is the longest active streak in MLS, and second-longest active streak in all of the five major U.S. men’s sports, two years behind the NHL’s Pittsburgh Penguins at 15 consecutive years.

SOUNDERS CHASING 200

Sounders FC currently sits at 199 MLS regular-season wins in 417 all-time games since 2009. One more win during Seattle’s next 15 regular-season games would ensure that the club is the fastest to 200 wins in MLS history. That record is currently held by the LA Galaxy, who reached 200 regular-season wins in 432 games played. Seattle has a chance to reach 200 wins during its first 13 seasons, something that has never been done by any club in MLS history. Sounders FC already holds the record for most regular-season wins through 13 seasons with 199. The previous record was held by D.C. United at 188 wins. Seattle started the season at 182 wins.

ROAD WARRIORS With the draw against the Colorado Rapids on October 20, Sounders FC has a 9-3-3 road record. Its nine road wins tie the club’s all-time record and is one shy of the MLS record set by Altanta United in 2018. Seattle could set the all-time mark this year with wins in its final two road games against LAFC on September 26 and at Vancouver Whitecaps FC on November 7 in a Decision Day matchup.

Seattle Sounders FC earned a road point October 20 against the Colorado Rapids, securing a top-four seed in the 2021 Audi MLS Cup Playoffs and a home postseason match. Cristian Roldan scored his sixth goal of the season in a 1-1 result with third-place Colorado, who also clinched a playoff spot following the match. After over an hour of scoreless play, Dominique Badji put the home side up in the 66th minute, converting a near-post header on a Jack Price corner kick. Roldan equalized 15 minutes later on an assist from Léo Chú, giving him five goals in his last six appearances for Sounders FC (all competitions). After receiving a long pass behind the Colorado defense, Chú held off two defenders to maintain possession all the way to the touchline before sending a low cross that found Roldan for a tap-in. It marked the first MLS regular-season assist for the Brazilian, who joined Sounders FC from Grêmio in July.

SOUNDERS FC GAME NOTES RUIDÍAZ ONE SHY OF RECORD

With his brace against San Jose on September 29, Sounders FC striker Raúl Ruidíaz has 16 goals on the season, currently tied for second place in the MLS Golden Boot race behind D.C. United’s Ola Kamara (17). The Peruvian’s current tally is one shy of Sounders FC’s club record for goals in a regular-season campaign, set by Obafemi Martins’ 17 goals in 2014. Ruidíaz passed Clint Dempsey’s 2014 total and Martins’ 2015 mark (both 15) for the second-highest goal total in franchise history. MOST REGULAR-SEASON GOALS – SINGLE SEASON (SOUNDERS FC) PLAYER

His goals against San Jose give him 60 across all competitions since signing with the Rave Green in the summer of 2018. Only teammate Fredy Montero has more career goals with the club, bagging 67 in his career in Seattle thus far. Ruidíaz is also now in sole possession of second place in club history with 49 MLS regular-season goals, passing Dempsey’s 47 strikes and four behind Montero’s 53 tallies.

FREI IN THE HISTORY BOOKS

With Sounder FC’s 3-0 victory over the Colorado Rapids on October 3, goalkeeper Stefan Frei recorded the 86th regular-season shutout of his MLS career. He is now tied for third all-time with Joe Cannon in regular-season shutouts, one shoutout away from sole possession of third all-time. Frei already ranks third all-time with 135 career goalkeeper wins and seventh with 1,026 saves. He is also fourth all-time in postseason shutouts with 10.

Sporting KC Game Notes | October 23, 2021 at Seattle Sounders FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes INTO THE HOME STRETCH

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

RUSSELL SETS NEW CLUB RECORD

Second-place Sporting Kansas City (15-7-7, 52 pts.) will look to close the gap on firstplace Seattle Sounders FC (17-6-7, 58 pts.) when the team heads back to the Pacific Northwest on Saturday afternoon for a match at Lumen Field. Sporting is coming off a tough 2-1 loss to Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Sunday, while Seattle is winless in their last two, falling to Houston last weekend and playing to a 1-1 draw in Colorado midweek.

Sporting Kansas City winger Johnny Russell set a new club record during last Sunday’s 2-1 loss to Vancouver Whitecaps FC at BC Place. With Sporting down two goals late in the first half, Russell received a pass from Daniel Salloi and curled a sumptuous finish into the bottom corner from 20 yards out, giving his side life before the break. The 31-year-old winger has really taken off since the turn of July, scoring 11 times and adding four assists over his last 15 games. Russell is now one of only six MLS players alongside fellow forward Daniel Salloi - to hit 11 goals and seven assists this season.

Sporting can clinch a berth in the MLS Cup Playoffs with a win in Seattle, which would take the team within three points of the Western Conference leaders as Peter Vermes’ side looks to close in on a top four seed that would guarantee a home game in the postseason.

With his strike in Vancouver, Russell became the first player in Sporting history to score in six consecutive MLS regular season matches. Sporting Legend Preki had previously held the club’s record for longest regular season scoring streak, set during the month of June in Major League Soccer’s inaugural 1996 campaign.

Johnny Russell and Daniel Salloi continued their electric 2021 campaigns in the loss to Vancouver, with Salloi assisting Russell’s goal late in the first half. The assist was Salloi’s team-leading eighth of the season and his 24th goal contribution overall, bolstering his case for MLS MVP, while Russell has now scored in a club record six consecutive regular-season matches.

Since arriving in Kansas City from English side Derby County FC in early 2018, Russell has been one of the most consistent attacking playmakers in MLS. He and LAFC standout Carlos Vela along with former Minnesota and current Houston midfielder Darwin Quintero are the only players with at least 30 goals and 30 assists over the last four MLS regular seasons.

Sporting now has five matches left in the 2021 MLS regular season, three on the road and two at home. Following Saturday’s match at Seattle, it’ll be a sprint to the finish as Sporting hosts the LA Galaxy on Wednesday, Oct. 27 before a two-game road swing to Minnesota on Oct. 31 and Austin on Nov. 3 before closing out the regular season with a home match against Real Salt Lake on Nov. 7.

FONTAS CONTINUES TERRIFIC SEASON

Sporting Kansas City center back Andreu Fontas should be in contention for MLS Defender of the Year honors as the season comes to a close, having made a monumental impact on Sporting both with and without the ball.

CLINCHING SCENARIOS

Sporting Kansas City can clinch a berth in the 2021 MLS Cup Playoffs this weekend. The club’s status in the postseason would be confirmed with a win in Seattle, while other permutations regarding a home playoff game are below.

Fontas leads MLS by a wide margin in passes (2,408), passes successful (2,162) and touches (2,720). He also leads MLS in goals added, an advanced statistic that measures a player’s on-ball contribution in attack and defense - arguably making him one of the most impactful players in all of MLS.

• A full list of postseason clinching scenarios for the postseason and any potential top four permutations will be available on SportingKC.com and MLSSoccer.com on Friday, Oct. 22 in the afternoon.

After undergoing surgery on his Achilles toward the tail end of the 2019 season, Fontas missed almost all of the 2020 campaign recuperating. Since the start of 2021, Fontas has started 28 of SKC’s 29 games, only missing the 3-1 road victory over the San Jose Earthquakes on May 22.

FIGHTING SEATTLE AT THE SUMMIT

Sporting Kansas City heads back to the Pacific Northwest this weekend for a clash with table-topping Seattle Sounders FC at Lumen Field. Sporting is coming off a disappointing 2-1 setback against Vancouver Whitecaps FC at BC Place last Sunday, while Seattle are winless in their last two - falling 2-1 at Houston last Saturday before playing to a 1-1 draw at the Colorado Rapids on Wednesday.

FIFA PAYS VISIT TO KC ON OCTOBER 21

The KC2026 bid to bring the 2026 FIFA World Cup to Kansas City hosted a delegation from FIFA for a venue visit on Thursday, October 21.

Seattle won the most recent clash between the two sides on Sept. 26 at Children’s Mercy Park. That result snapped a three-game winning streak for Sporting against the Sounders, who secured victory with goals either side of halftime from Cristian Roldan and Will Bruin, before Johnny Russell pulled a goal back for Sporting KC with a near post strike.

KC2026 Bid co-chairs Clark Hunt and Cliff Illig along with Mayor Quinton Lucas, Royals owner John Sherman, KC NWSL owners Angie and Chris Long, Kansas City Sports Commission President and CEO Kathy Nelson and KC2026 Bid Director Katherine Fox were among those present as Kansas City welcomed FIFA Vice-President Victor Montagliani and FIFA Chief Tournaments and Events Officer Colin Smith.

Sporting has already tasted victory at Lumen Field in 2021, clinching a 3-1 victory on July 25 that snapped Seattle’s 17-game home unbeaten streak. Russell and Daniel Salloi gave Sporting a two-goal lead at halftime before Fredy Montero pulled a goal back for the hosts. Homegrown midfielder Cam Duke scored his first senior goal midway through the second period to make the points safe.

Kansas City is one of 17 Candidate Host Cities in the U.S. bidding to host matches during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. During each venue visit, the FIFA delegation holds meetings with local stakeholders, including city and stadium authorities. The visits also consist of inspections for essential infrastructure, such as stadiums, training facilities and potential FIFA Fan Festival sites.

Sporting still trails Seattle 8-10-4 in the all-time regular-season series - an even 4-5-2 split both at home and away. However, Sporting has gone 7-3-3 against the Sounders since the start of 2015 and 3-1-0 in their last four games having won three in a row prior to the most recent matchup.

POSTGAME PV

On Vancouver’s performance in Sporting’s 2-1 loss at BC Place: “They worked extremely hard. Their front seven guys were going man to man and we were at times unwilling to run with movement off the ball. You can connect passes and that’s great, but that doesn’t do anything. Possession doesn’t mean anything unless you have a purpose to it, and the purpose has to be to break through the other team. You have to create areas where you have numbers. Too many times we just didn’t do that over the course of the game. When we ran at them, we were dangerous. When we were just knocking the ball around, it wasn’t enough. You’ve got to give credit to them because they worked hard and they pressed us. We have been pressed before by a lot of teams, but today we just didn’t have movement off the ball. We didn’t have enough creativity. Again, the game is about getting numbers up in good situations. We didn’t do that enough today, and a lot of that has to do with our movement off the ball.”

SALLOI FOR MVP

Sporting Kansas City forward and MVP candidate Daniel Salloi continued his fine form in 2021 during the team’s 2-1 setback against Vancouver Whitecaps FC at BC Place on Sunday night, tallying the assist on Johnny Russell’s goal late in the first half - his eighth of the season. Salloi now leads MLS with 24 combined goals and assists, and also leads the league with 16 non-penalty goals. He only trails Golden Boot leader Ola Kamara by one goal, despite the D.C. United striker scoring eight penalties in 2021 - three more than any other player.

On the two goals conceded to Vancouver: “Those were two really easy situations. The second one was just a lack of stepping out and pressuring the ball. There’s no way that we should give a shot away like that from that distance. We had three guys standing there and there’s no way we shouldn’t have someone blocking it. The other one was a service into the box. It’s one thing not to win a header. It’s another thing not to get to the knock-down first. We didn’t do either. When we ran past them, we created stuff and we were dangerous. You expect the other team to assert themselves on their home field. They have to be good. But at the same time, we had chances where we did break them down, but we just didn’t go with the zest that you need to in a game like this.”

Salloi’s 24 total goal contributions this year are the fifth-most in club history. Only Preki (31 in 1996, 29 in 1997, 29 in 2003) and Benny Feilhaber (25 in 2015) have recorded more goals and assists in a single regular season while playing for Sporting. The Hungarian international looks set to be a finalist for the MLS MVP award as the seasn comes to a close, seemingly battling for the title with New England Revolution playmaker Carles Gil and Nashville’s all-action forward Hany Mukhtar, along with Seattle Sounders duo Joao Paulo and Raul Ruidiaz.

Sporting KC Game Notes | October 23, 2021 at Seattle Sounders FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes Manager & Sporting Director | 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 is in his 13th season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2021 and is the longest-tenured active head coach in MLS. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 205 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 regularseason 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 170 regular-season wins top the club’s all-time chart and rank fifth 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 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 before both were overtaken by Matt Besler early in 2018. 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.

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 471 total games during his Kansas City coaching career, most in club history.

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.

With over 13 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 51 leagues in the world as denoted by the CIES Football Observatory, Vermes’ tenure at Sporting KC ranks as the eighth longest active run.

Assistant Coach | Zoran Savic 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.

Vermes oversees all soccer operations for Sporting KC, including the active roster, Sporting Kansas City II (USL Championship) 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Goalkeeper coach Alec Dufty is in his fifth 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 Sporting KC’s goalkeepers, starting goalkeeper Tim Melia enjoyed a record-breaking season where he was named the 2017 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year.

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. 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. 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 season.

Height: 5-7 Weight: 135 Birthday: 6/8/1998 Hometown: Nashville, Tennessee Last Club: Sporting Kansas City II (USL) Acquired: Signed as Homegrown on 8/30/2019 Sporting Kansas City signed Felipe Hernandez as a Homegrown Player in late August 2019, making him the 12th Homegrown Player in club history and one of 12 on the current roster, joining Cam Duke, Tyler Freeman, Jaylin Lindsey, Daniel Salloi, Wilson Harris, John Pulskamp, Ozzie Cisneros, Grayson Barber, Brooks Thompson, Kaveh Rad and Kayden Pierre. Hernandez is the first Sporting player to progress from an Academy Affiliate club to the SKC Academy to Sporting KC II before signing with the senior team. His acquisition follows a breakout season in the USL Championship, where he started 24 of 26 appearances, scored a team-best eight goals and recorded four assists. In three seasons with SPR, Hernandez amassed 13 goals and 12 assists across 85 matches.

Born in Ibague, Colombia, Hernandez grew up in Nashville, Tennessee, and played for Sporting Nashville Heroes, a former Academy Affiliate. He moved to Kansas City in the summer of 2014 to join the Academy. At age 16, Hernandez earned a preseason training stint with Sporting KC in January 2015, before signing an Academy contract with Sporting KC II in August 2016, two months prior to earning Bob Gansler Academy Player of the Year honors that then led to a professional SKC II contract in early 2017. On the international stage, Hernandez played for the U.S. U-19 National Team for the first time in August 2016 for the Stevan Vilotic-Cele Tournament in Serbia. The following April, he ventured to London for his first training camp with the U.S. U-20s.

Sporting Kansas City signed French center back Nicolas Isimat-Mirin ahead of the 2021 MLS season. Isimat has played over 250 professional matches since 2010, featuring in the top divisions of France, the Netherlands and Turkey. He has logged 93 appearances each in France’s Ligue 1 and the Dutch Eredivisie, where he won three league titles as an integral member of PSV Eindhoven.

In 2014, Isimat was loaned from Monaco to PSV Eindhoven. In his first Eredivisie season, he helped PSV win the league title by a 17-point margin, leading to PSV acquiring the defender on a permanent transfer ahead of the 2015-16 campaign. He appeared in 26 matches as PSV captured another Eredivisie title. Isimat and PSV won their third title in four years in 2017-2018. In early 2019, Isimat joined Besiktas in Turkey, starting 14 matches during the latter half of the season. For the 2019-20 campaign, the defender was loaned back to Ligue 1 for a stint with Toulouse, making 16 starts.

Born in the Paris suburb of Meudon, Isimat competed in the famous Clairefontaine youth academy from 2004-2007 before continuing his development at Rennes and Valenciennes. He began his professional career as an 18-year-old in 2010 and spent the next three seasons as a regular starter for Valenciennes. Isimat-Mirin landed a transfer to French title contender Monaco, where he played 11 matches for the club in all competitions during the 2013-14 season.

Isimat represented France as a U-20 and U-21 youth international and notably featured during 2013 UEFA European U-21 Championship qualifying. He struck a center back partnership alongside future World Cup winner Raphael Varane as France finished atop their qualifying group.

Sporting Kansas City announced in January 2020 that the club had acquired central midfielder Gadi Kinda on a one-year loan from Israeli Premier League side Beitar Jerusalem. Sporting made the loan move permanent ahead of the 2021 season. Kinda has played over 200 matches in Israel since turning professional in 2011 at age 17. He starred as one of the Israeli Premier League’s best players during the first half of the 2019-20 season.

He became a regular starter for Ashdod during the 2013-2014 campaign, notably scoring his first top-fight goal in a 3-2 defeat of Israeli giants Maccabi Haifa in September 2013.

Born in Ethiopia and raised in Israel, Kinda joined Beitar Jerusalem in February 2019 and started 30 of 31 appearances in all competitions. Kinda spent the first seven and a half years of his professional career at FC Ashdod. He developed as a youth in his hometown club’s academy prior to landing an top-flight debut in September 2011 as a 17-year-old.

Ashdod spent the 2015-16 season in Israel’s second division, but a strong bounce-back culminated with a Liga Leumit title as Kinda earned 27 appearances and helped his team finish atop the standings. Ashdod’s promotion saw Kinda tally seven goals and seven assists over the next two and a half seasons before his transfer to Beitar Jerusalem. Kinda has five caps for the senior Israeli National Team, making his debut on June 5, 2021 when he scored the final goal in a 3-1 friendly win over Montenegro. He previously represented Israel at the U-18, U-19 and U-21 levels.
