#DALvSKC: HEAD-TO-HEAD

Sporting Kansas City (11-15-7, 40 pts.) closes out the club’s 2022 MLS season this weekend when the team travels to take on FC Dallas (13-9-11, 50 pts.) at Toyota Stadium on Sunday, looking to build on the team’s seven-game unbeaten run (5-0-2).

The two sides met at Children’s Mercy Park on April 30, 2022 and played out an entertaining 2-2 draw. Johnny Russell gave Sporting the lead in the first half from the penalty spot after Daniel Salloi had been brought down, but a venomous Dallas offense hit back with goals from Alan Velasco and Jesus Ferreira to give the visitors a 2-1 lead at halftime. In the 77th minute, Salloi found the equalizer for Sporting to salvage a point.

Sporting and Dallas also faced off at Children’s Mercy Park in the U.S. Open Cup Round of 32 earlier this year, with Sporting erasing a 2-0 deficit to win 4-2 behind goals from Nikola Vujnovic, Marinos Tzionis, Khiry Shelton and a Dallas own goal. Sporting has won their last two matches at Toyota Stadium, first earning a commanding 2-0 victory on August 14, 2021. Alan Pulido slotted home the opener before Salloi’s scorching strike doubled the lead. That win snapped a six-game winless run (0-5-1) against Dallas dating back to 2019. Sporting returned to Frisco on Sept. 29, 2021 and cruised to a 3-1 victory. Salloi bagged a brace in the match while Russell scored from the penalty spot.

Sporting trails the regular season series 27-28-14, with a 12-16-5 record on the road.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

EXITING 2022 RIDING SEVEN GAME UNBEATEN RUN

Sporting Kansas City extended the club’s unbeaten run to seven games following the 1-0 victory over Seattle Sounders FC at Children’s Mercy Park on Oct. 2. Sporting has now gone 5-0-2 in their last seven matches and 6-1-2 in their last nine, picking up 20 of the team’s 40 points (50%) on the season over the last nine games. Sporting has also equaled the club’s Children’s Mercy Park record with six straight home wins since the start of August.

Buoyed by newcomers Willy Agada (8 goals, 2 assist) and Erik Thommy (3 goals, 1 assist), Sporting have scored 22 goals in their last nine games, after only scoring 19 across their first 24 matches this season. The team has gotten more solid defensively as well, as the team has posted shutouts in four of their last six games with goalkeepers John Pulskamp and Kendall McIntosh earning plaudits for their performances.

Unfortunately, the uptick in form proved to be too little too late, as Sporting was elimi nated from postseason contention with the LA Galaxy’s 4-1 victory over the Colorado Rapids on Sept. 17. Sporting’s recent run has also put the wooden spoon out of reach, as that award will is destined for D.C. United.

Sporting Kansas City is 12-8-6 all-time in regular-season finales, including a 5-5-4 mark on the road. Sporting has not drawn their final match of the regular-season for 12 years, having last done so in a 2-2 draw with D.C. United at CommunityAmerica Ballpark on Oct. 24, 2009.

CURTAIN CALL IN DALLAS

Sporting Kansas City is set to draw the curtain on the club’s 2022 season this weekend when the team heads south to take on FC Dallas at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas on Sunday afternoon. Sporting has already been eliminated from postseason contention, while Dallas has their playoff spot locked up - but will be playing for the highest seed.

Sporting and Dallas have faced off twice in 2022 already, once in the regular season and once in the U.S. Open Cup. The first meeting came in MLS play on April 30, with Johnny Russell and Daniel Salloi opening and closing the scoring either side of goals from Alan Velasco and Jesus Ferreira as the two sides split the points in a 2-2 draw.

The Open Cup clash on May 10 was a wild affair, as Dallas took a 2-0 lead into the halftime break against a heavily-rotated Sporting team. However, Sporting roared back in the second half and pulled a goal back through Nikola Vujnovic before Marinos Tzionis headed home a 98th-minute equalizer. A Dallas own goal and a strike from Khiry Shelton in extra time sent Sporting through as 4-2 winners.

Sporting’s last visit to Toyota Stadium came on Sept. 29, 2021, with Peter Vermes’ side earning a 3-1 victory. Salloi scored the opener early on before Johnny Russell scored from the penalty spot early in the second half. Salloi added his second of the night before Ricardo Pepi bagged a consolation for the hosts.

WILLY: “AGADA SCORE GOALS”

Sporting Kansas City striker Willy Agada is showing no signs of cooling off as the season heads to a close, scoring his eighth goal of the campaign in the 1-0 victory over Seattle Sounders FC at Children’s Mercy Park on Sunday afternoon.

Agada’s eight goals have come in just nine starts, and he is set to finish the season as one of the best individual scoring campaigns in club history. Agada’s eight goals in 11 appearances puts him at a pace of 0.73 goals per game, while would eclipse Miklos Molnar’s previous record pace of 0.71 (12 goals in 17 games) set in 2000.

Among players to have played a minimum of 450 minutes (five matches) in 2022, Agada ranks second in MLS with 0.87 goals per 90 minutes, only trailing LA Galaxy frontman Dejan Joveljic’s rate of 0.94. That puts Agada ahead of MVP candidates Hany Mukhtar (0.75) and Sebastian Driussi (0.68) as well as more heralded midseason additions such as Federico Bernardeschi (0.71) and Cucho Hernandez (0.70).

GOLDEN BOOT UP FOR GRABS

With Willy Agada’s game-winner in the 1-0 victory over Seattle Sounders FC at Children’s Mercy Park on Sunday afternoon, Sporting Kansas City’s Golden Boot winner is entirely up for grabs heading into the final match of the season against FC Dallas at Toyota Stadium on Sunday.

Agada scored his eighth regular-season goal of the season, putting him in a tie with Johnny Russell for first place on the team, while Daniel Salloi lurks just one goal behind with seven on the campaign.

While the Golden Boot will be awarded to the player with the most regular-season goals, Russell still leads the team across all competitions with 10 goals, with Salloi in second place with nine and Agada third with eight.

#SKCvSEA QUOTES Manager & Sporting Director Peter Vermes...

Thoughts on the match:

“First off, to play at a high level with great work ethic and then also to play and keep the ball like we do, it’s difficult. It’s a hard thing to do. The guys work tirelessly at all of those things and I know that there has been a lot of difficulties throughout the season. But at the same time, as I said before, the effort has always been there. At times, maybe we lost some concentration. But the fact of the matter is that when we got a lot of guys healthy - a lot, not all - and we added a few pieces that we actually really needed which were out because of injury and have been out the whole time, it’s very reassuring to see how the team can perform. Seattle is a very good team. We know that. They know that. But it’s not easy to play the way that we do and be able to control a game the way that we do. The guys do it against the best. They won the Champions League this year so this was a big match. And I’ll be honest with you, we didn’t really give up crazy chances today. They had some shots here or there and some opportunities, but nothing over the top. The guys did a really good job. Other than the one that Ben (Sweat) saved in the first half kind of in front of the goal, outside of that everything else was pretty standard. I thought we were very dangerous in the game and I think it was difficult for them to manage us at times..”

On the importance of a win in the home finale: “It’s always good to leave a last impression to start the next year. So the win, the shutout, the way we played, it’s all very important to how we finish here but more importantly, to how we go into next year.”

Manager & Sporting Director | Peter Vermes

Peter Vermes is in his 14th season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2022 and is the longest-tenured active head coach in MLS. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 222 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 183 regular-season 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.

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

With over 14 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 fifth 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.

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.

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.

Assistant Coach | Kerry Zavagnin

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Goalkeeper Coach | Alec Dufty

Goalkeeper coach Alec Dufty is in his seventh 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.

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.

Director of Sports Performance & Science | Joey Harty

Joey Harty was named Sporting Kansas City’s Director of Sports Performance and Science ahead of the 2020 season, stepping up from his role as assistant fitness coach which he held from 2018-2019.

Harty manages all aspects of the club’s performance department from the academy to the senior team. He also oversees day-to-day training plans on and off the field, including work in the weight room, soccer session planning, on-field movement training, data analysis and more, aiming to optimize player health and performance.

Harty joined Sporting’s organization in January 2016, serving as a fitness coach for the Sporting Kansas City Academy. He spent the 2017 season as head fitness coach for Sporting KC II.

(Israel)

Sporting Kansas City acquired striker William Agada in a transfer from Israeli side Hapoel Jerusalem in June 2022. A native of Nigeria, Agada follows midfielder Gadi Kinda as the second Israeli Premier League star to join Sporting since 2020. The striker scored 37 goals across four seasons in Israel. Agada scored his first goals for Sporting with a brace in the 4-2 victory over the LA Galaxy on Aug. 6, 2022.

Agada turned professional as an 18-year-old and bagged eight goals during his first season with Hapoel Jerusalem in 2018-2019. He doubled his goal haul the following year, scoring a team-best 15 times across 36 appearances in the Israeli second division.

Agada’s excellent 2019-2020 campaign paved the way for a loan to Hapoel Haifa in the Israeli Premier League. He was second on the team with six goals in 2020-2021 and scored twice in the relegation round, helping the club avoid a drop to the second tier.

The 2021-2022 season saw Agada return to Hapoel Jerusalem, which had gained promotion to the Premier League after posting a second-place finish in the Liga Leumit the previous year. He led the team with eight goals, including five since the start of 2022, and accounted for 42 percent of Hapoel Jerusalem’s goal scoring over the course of the campaign.

Espinoza played five seasons in Kansas City from 2008-12 before moving abroad to Wigan Athletic FC. After a two-year stint in the English Premier

English Championship, Espinoza returned to Sporting KC in 2015 and tallied one goal and four MLS assists. His 2015 campaign was cut short due to a left foot injury sustained in early August, but returned to the fold as a regular starter in 2016. Espinoza set new careerhighs in both goals (3) and assists (9) in 2018.

Espinoza was an MLS All-Star in 2012 and helped lead the club to the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup title that season. He has made 367 appearances for the club in all

14 goals and 47 assists over 13 seasons. He is both the club’s all-time leader and the all-time MLS leader with 13 red cards. In two years at Wigan Athletic, he logged 57 appearances, including eight in the UEFA Europa League, and started in the club’s 2013 FA Cup Final victory over Manchester City.

Espinoza earned 51 caps for the Honduras Men’s National Team after debuting in 2009. He has competed in the 2010 and 2014 FIFA World Cups as well as the 2012 Summer Olympics before retiring from international play in 2019.

Felipe Hernandez as a Homegrown Player in late August 2019, making him the 12th Homegrown Player

and

of eight on the current roster, joining Cam Duke, Daniel Salloi, John Pulskamp, Ozzie Cisneros, Kaveh Rad, Kayden Pierre and Jake Davis.

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.

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.

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.

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 acquired left back Logan Ndenbe in a transfer from EA Guingamp in the French second division in January 2022. Ndenbe arrives in Kansas City after spending his first five professional seasons in Europe with Belgian top-flight side KV Oostende and French club Guingamp. He has logged nearly 50 professional appearances since 2017 and represented Belgium at the U-17 through U-21 levels.

A native of Mouscron, Belgium, Ndenbe developed in the Royal Excel Mouscron academy before joining KV Oostende as a 17-year-old in 2017. He played 15 matches in three seasons with the club, featuring in the Belgian First Division A as well as the league’s playoff competition for the UEFA Europa League.

Ndenbe left Belgium in July 2020, signing for Guingamp to mark the start of a successful stint in the French Ligue 2. He made 16 appearances for the club during the 2020-21 campaign and took another step forward during the first half of the 2021-2022 season, playing every minute in 12 league starts while adding one assist.

On the youth international stage, Ndenbe rose through the Belgian U-17 and U-18 teams before earning his Belgium U-21 debut in June 2021 for his first of six matches in 2023 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifying. He started in four games during qualifying, helping the team go 3-0-1.
