NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION vs SPORTING KANSAS CITY GILLETTE STADIUM, Foxborough, Mass. October 1, 2016 (WEEK 30, MLS Game #309) 7:30 p.m. ET (CSN-NE; KMCI-38 / SKCTVN) A critical contest to the playoff ambitions of both teams is on deck when the New England Revolution play host to Sporting Kansas City on Saturday evening at Gillette Stadium. The Revolution come into the game now four points below the red line in the Eastern Conference, their three-game winning run put to an end in a 2-0 loss at Columbus Crew SC last weekend. Sporting are now just two points ahead of the red line, sitting in fifth place in the Western Conference after a 2-1 win at the San Jose Earthquakes last weekend. REFEREE: Alan Kelly.

The Revolution had a three-game winning streak alive in the series before last year’s SKC win, triumphant in all three league meetings during the 2014 season. The Revolution’s 2-0 win at Gillette Stadium on April 26, 2014 snapped a six-game Sporting undefeated streak in league play in the series, scoring their first goals vs. SKC since July 30, 2011, snapping a 592-minute shutout streak. The Revolution are undefeated in the last three meetings in Foxborough. When the Revolution won 3-2 on Sept. 26, 2014, it was their first win in Kansas City since 2008, ending an eight-game winless streak there. Coaches record: Peter Vermes vs. NE: P14 W6 L5 D3 … Jay Heaps vs. KC: P9 W3 L4 D2 NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION The New England Revolution saw their winning streak put to an end after three games, falling 2-0 to Columbus Crew SC on Sunday evening at Gillette Stadium. The Revolution are in seventh place in the Eastern Conference with 36 points from 31 games. LAST MATCH The opening goal came with three minutes remaining in the first half. Crew SC maintained possession in and around the Revolution penalty area, Mohammed Saeid eventually finding Ola Kamara in the right side of the box, who did well to escape a host of defenders and set himself up for a left-footed finish inside the near post. Crew SC put the match away in the 82nd minute when referee Chris Penso adjudged Revolution defender London Woodberry for shoving Ola Kamara in the box, leading to a penalty that the forward converted himself to ice the Columbus win. Revolution head coach Jay Heaps made two changes to the team that rolled to a 3-1 win against the Montréal Impact at Stade Saputo. Darrius Barnes came into the back four in place of Jose Goncalves, and Steve Neumann started in midfield for Kelyn Rowe. NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION (4-1-3-2): Brad Knighton - Andrew Farrell, London Woodberry, Darrius Barnes, Chris Tierney - Scott Caldwell - Steve Neumann (Teal Bunbury 55), Lee Nguyen, Diego Fagundez (Daigo Kobayashi 73) - Juan Agudelo (Femi Hollinger-Janzen 84), Kei Kamara. TEAM NEWS The Revolution saw their winning streak put to an end after three games – their longest run of victories this season – following the loss at Crew SC.
MLS GAME INFORMATION
The Revolution were shut out at the attacking end for the 11th time this season, tied for the most in MLS this season (also: Vancouver). The shutout came after they scored multiple goals in each win in the three-game streak, netting eight goals in all, which came on the heels of a four-game, 374-minute goalless streak. “We have some games left. It’s not the end of it,” Kei Kamara said. “Obviously, everybody wants to capitalize on their home games and the Crew don’t have many left, so they wanted to do that. … So we just have to let this one go and move forward and get ready for the next game.” Steve Neumann made his first MLS start of the season, coming in on the right side of the midfield and playing 55 minutes. Neumann had made his two appearances as a substitute over the previous three matches, totaling six minutes, his first league action of the season. He did start two matches during the Revolution’s U.S. Open Cup run to the final. Darrius Barnes made his second league start of the season, his first since Aug. 6, coming into central defense and playing the full 90 minutes. Jose Goncalves was unavailable with an ankle injury. Daigo Kobayashi came on as a substitute for the final 17 minutes, after not featuring in the last two matches, his fifth appearance as a replacement over the last eight matches since his last start Aug. 6. Kelyn Rowe was unavailable after being hospitalized with an infection in his small intestine in the days leading up to the match. “It’s definitely day-by-day,” Rowe said. “Unfortunately it’s not like an injury where you can say you’re out two, three weeks or whatever it may be. It’s kind of going off my own body and what it’s telling me. It shut down for a little bit, and we’re trying to rev it back up.”
SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City put an end to their long road winless stretch in dramatic fashion, hitting for a late winner for a 2-1 win against the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday evening at Avaya Stadium. Sporting are in fifth place in the Western Conference with 43 points from 31 games. LAST MATCH The opening goal came after just seven minutes. Following a quickly taken free kick on the right, Dom Dwyer ran onto Paulo Nagamura's curling ball and knocked a close-range header past San Jose 'keeper David Bingham. The Quakes leveled terms in the 42nd minute when Henok Goitom latched onto the ball on the right side of the box and produced a perfect backheel that left SKC goalkeeper Tim Melia out of position and gave Simon Dawkins an easy tap-in into an unguarded goal. But the winner came in the 81st minute, when Benny Feilhaber's corner kick was flicked downward by Ike Opara and defender Kevin Ellis was right there to backheel it home from close range to give Sporting the full three points. Sporting manager Peter Vermes made two changes to the team that played to a 2-2 result with the LA Galaxy at Children’s Mercy Park. Nuno Andre Coelho started in central defense in place of Matt Besler, and Paulo Nagamura came into the side in favor of Brad Davis. SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Tim Melia - Saad Abdul-Salaam, Kevin Ellis, Nuno Andre Coelho, Jimmy Medranda - Soni Mustivar - Paulo Nagamura (Brad Davis 63), Roger Espinoza - Benny Feilhaber, Dom Dwyer, Jacob Peterson (Ike Opara 76). TEAM NEWS While the victory against the Quakes extended Sporting’s undefeated run to three games, following a pair of draws, it was their first win after three matches without victory, since Aug. 20. The win put an end to Sporting road winless streak after 12 matches, their first away from Kansas City in league play since the 2-0 win at the New York Red Bulls on April 9, the second of two wins in the first two away games of the season. It was Sporting’s first win in San Jose since Aug. 16, 2000, a stretch of 18 MLS regularseason and playoff games. “The fact that we’d given up four points in our last two games, at home, we knew that this was a huge game for us,” SKC manager Peter Vermes said. “We knew that we had to do everything we could to get three points here, because the games are going away quickly ... This was a big game for us. We knew it. Getting the three points was ginormous.” Said Benny Feilhaber: “I’ve never won, personally, in San Jose. I don’t think I’ve ever even drawn here, so it was really, really great to have that finally happen. ... Having dropped points at home, it was essential that we were able to grab some on the road, and grabbing three is obviously huge in this race. It’s so tight right now.” Kevin Ellis scored his first goal of the season, his first since the final day of the 2015 regular season, when he netted the last of his four goals. Ellis was making a third consecutive start, his fourth out of the last five games, playing the full 90 minutes in central defense. “I think he is almost maybe like one of the new prototypical central defenders of the future. Because he’s not 63, he’s 5-10, 5-11, whatever, but he’s got incredible leaping ability. He’s got great timing in the air, he’s very agile,” said Vermes. “And then the other part of it is the fact that he was a forward, he’s got great instincts in the
MLS GAME INFORMATION
box. He scored quite a few a couple years ago, quite a few set piece goals for us, because he’s got great instincts in the box. I think it’s more because of his forward days.” Benny Feilhaber was credited with a pair of assists, now with 11 assists for the season, tied for fourth-most in MLS this season. It was the fifth multiple-assist game of his MLS career and a third consecutive game with an assist, with seven assists over the last eight matches. Feilhaber has played a part in eight of SKC’s last 12 goals, dating back to July 31. Dom Dwyer netted his 15th goal of the season, now with a goal in his last three matches. Dwyer has scored 49 goals over the last three matches, in 93 league appearances. “You try and find yourself in the right place at the right time. I always said this: ‘anyone who plays forward for this team you should score goals.’ That’s my job to try to get myself in good positions and get chances and try to finish them. It was good to get on the scoresheet again, but most importantly we got three points tonight,” Dwyer said. Paulo Nagamura made his first league start since June 2, coming into a central midfield role and playing 63 minutes. Nagamura had made two substitute appearances over the preceding 14 matches, totaling 15 minutes; he has started all three of SKC’s matches in the CONCACAF Champions League. “Within the club you’ve got to keep finding players that are evolving themselves, and they are becoming those players that can close a game out if you will, or step up big in those moments. It’s great to see that our guys can do that, especially when it’s a bunch of guys who maybe haven’t been on the field on a regular basis,” Vermes said.

PLAYER HIGHLIGHTS KNIGHTON SETS SEASON HIGH WITH SEVEN-SAVE EFFORT VS. CREW SC Goalkeeper Brad Knighton made seven saves against Columbus Crew SC on Sept. 25, eclipsing his previous single-game high (4) of the 2016 season. Knighton’s seven-save effort is tied for the second best of his MLS career. He also made seven stops for Vancouver Whitecaps FC in a 2-0 win against Seattle on July 6, 2013. Knighton set his single-game career high of nine saves with the Revs on April 4, 2009, in a win against Real Salt Lake. KELYN ROWE VOTED MLS PLAYER OF THE WEEK Midfielder Kelyn Rowe was voted MLS Player of the Week for his performance against the Montreal Impact on Sept. 17. Rowe factored into all three Revolution goals, scoring twice and adding one assist, in the club’s 3-1 win against the Montreal Impact. This marked Rowe’s third MLS Player of the Week honor, each following one of his three career two-goal performances. The fifth-year Revolution midfielder last won the award in Week 4 of 2015 after scoring twice against San Jose on March 28. Rowe, 24, first earned the recognition in Week 26 of 2013, when he recorded his first career multi-goal outing in a 5-1 win over Philadelphia on Aug. 25. AGUDELO, FAGUNDEZ NAMED TO MLSSOCCER.COM’S 24 UNDER 24 LIST Two Revolution players have been named to the 2016 MLSsoccer.com 24 Under 24 presented by EA Sports. The annual list ranks the league’s best young talents and most promising players all under the age of 24. Forward Juan Agudelo (23) came in at No. 17, while midfielder Diego Fagundez ranked at No. 12. This marks the fifth selection to the 24 Under 24 list for both Fagundez (2011, 2013-16) and Agudelo (2011-13, 2015-16), and the fourth consecutive honor for Fagundez. Also of note, rookie forward Femi Hollinger-Janzen (22) was named to the 50-player short list for the honor, giving New England’s third-round selection in the 2016 MLS SuperDraft his first nomination.
IT’S THE MOST JUAN-DERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR: AGUDELO HAS SCORCHING SEPTEMBER Forward Juan Agudelo was a force in the Revolution’s attack this September, scoring four goals with two assists in five games across all competitions. Before notching an assist against Montreal on Sept. 17, Agudelo scored the Revolution’s opening goal for a third consecutive match in the U.S. Open Cup Final against FC Dallas on Sept. 13, finishing the contest with a brace. The Barnegat, N.J. native also recorded New England’s opening goal in its 2-0 win against the Colorado Rapids on Sept. 3 and its 3-1 win against New York City FC on Sept. 10. All three opening goals came within the first 21 minutes of each match. Agudelo suffered a knee injury in the Revs’ U.S. Open Cup Quarterfinal win against the New York Cosmos on June 29 and missed nine subsequent games across all competitions. Prior to going down with that injury, Agudelo had registered three goals and an assist in a four-game stretch between April 30 and May 21. REVOLUTION RACK UP ACCOLADES IN SEPTEMBER Several New England players received national recognition during the month of September, in which the Revs went 3-1-0 in MLS play. After the club’s 3-1 win against the Montreal Impact on Sept. 17, midfielder Kelyn Rowe was named MLS Player of the Week. In addition, Rowe and Andrew Farrell were named to the MLSsoccer.com Team of the Week, while Juan Agudelo earned a spot on the MLS Team of the Week bench. Rowe’s strike from distance in the 27th minute earned him a nomination for AT&T Goal of the Week, while Brad Knighton’s save on Didier Drogba in the sixth minute earned him yet another nomination for MLS Save of the Week. Following the Revolution’s 3-1 win against New York City FC on Sept. 10, Gershon Koffie, Diego Fagundez, and Juan Agudelo were named to MLSsoccer.com’s Team of the Week, with Agudelo also earning an AT&T MLS Goal of the Week nomination. The previous week, following the team’s 2-0 win against the Colorado Rapids on Sept. 3, four players – Andrew Farrell, Kelyn Rowe, Brad Knighton, Chris Tierney – were selected to Team of the Week, marking the most Revolution players selected to the honorary squad in a single week this season. In addition, goalkeeper Brad Knighton’s diving save in the 60th minute won MLS Save of the Week, and defender Chris Tierney’s clinical left-footed goal in the 49th minute earned an AT&T MLS Goal of the Week nomination. Following last Sunday’s match against Columbus Crew SC, goalkeeper Brad Knighton earned another Save of the Week nomination for his diving save on Justin Meram in the 30th minute.
LAMAR HUNT U.S. OPEN CUP
REVS FALL TO FC DALLAS IN 2016 LAMAR HUNT U.S. OPEN CUP FINAL The Revolution fell to FC Dallas, 4-2, in the 2016 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final on Tuesday, Sept. 13. Despite a brace from Juan Agudelo and five saves from Brad Knighton, New England came up short against an FC Dallas side that has lost only one match at Toyota Stadium in 2016. The Revs’ record in U.S. Open Cup Finals drops to 1-2, and the club’s overall record in the competition is now 19-14-4 in 37 games. New England outscored its opponents 10-8 in its run to the Final, which featured heroic efforts from Brad Knighton, Zachary Herivaux, and Je-Vaughn Watson, among others. The Revs also became the seventh MLS franchise to reach at least three Open Cup Finals. AGUDELO JOINS EXCLUSIVE COMPANY WITH BRACE IN OPEN CUP FINAL Forward Juan Agudelo became only the third player in the U.S. Open Cup’s modern era to record a brace in the Final. He joins Maximiliano Urruti – who also scored two goals on Sept. 13 – and Sanna Nyassi (Seattle Sounders FC, 2010) as the only players to tally twice in an Open Cup Final. In addition, Agudelo’s sixth-minute goal was the second fastest in Open Cup Final history (according to TheCup.us). FIRST OPEN CUP SEMIFINAL AT GILLETTE DRAWS NEARLY 10,000 The announced attendance for New England’s Open Cup Semifinal match against Chicago on Aug. 9, the first ever U.S. Open Cup Semifinal at Gillette Stadium, was 9,801. That marks the sixth highest attendance for an Open Cup Semifinal in the modern era of the competition (since 1995). The Revolution previously hosted Open Cup Semifinal matches in 2007 and 2001. The first Semifinal hosted by the Revolution took place at Foxboro Stadium on Aug. 22, 2001, which the team won, 2-0, over D.C. United to claim a berth in the Final. The announced attendance for that match was 7,128. On Sept. 4, 2007, a crowd of 4,203 attended the Revolution’s 2-1 win over the Carolina RailHawks at Veterans Memorial Stadium in New Britain, Conn.
PLAYER HIGHLIGHTS FAGUNDEZ BECOMES SECOND YOUNGEST MLS PLAYER TO 100 STARTS Homegrown Player and midfielder Diego Fagundez made his 100th MLS start on Aug. 24 at San Jose, officially becoming the second youngest player in League history to reach the milestone (per Elias Sports Bureau). Fagundez, who made his 100th start at 21 years and 192 days old, comes in second only to former New York/New Jersey MetroStars and Columbus Crew midfielder Eddie Gaven, who made his 100th start at 20 years and 239 days old on June 23, 2007. Fagundez was also the youngest MLS player to score 25 goals and make 100 appearances. The Leominster, Mass., native has recorded 32 goals and 23 assists in 149 career appearances for the Revolution.
NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION VS. SPORTING KANSAS CITY: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2016
TEAM NOTES KAMARA, WATSON REPRESENT REVS ON INTERNATIONAL STAGE Revolution forward Kei Kamara and defender Je-Vaughn Watson missed the club’s match against Colorado on Sept. 3 while on international duty with their respective national teams, but both made their presence felt on the global stage. Kamara made his first appearance with Sierra Leone since Sept. 6, 2015, and scored the team’s lone goal in its 1-1 draw with Côte d’Ivoire. His diving header in the 67th minute equalized the match and brought Sierra Leone within one goal of its third ever berth to the Africa Cup of Nations, but Côte d’Ivoire held on for the draw. Meanwhile, Watson started both of Jamaica’s 2018 World Cup Qualifying matches. He went the full 90 minutes in the Reggae Boyz’s 2-0 loss to Panama on Sept. 2, and played a 75-minute shift in the team’s 2-0 loss to Haiti on Sept. 6. FARRELL FEATURES AT 2016 AT&T MLS ALL-STAR GAME VS. ARSENAL Revolution defender Andrew Farrell played 45 minutes in the 2016 AT&T MLS All-Star Game on July 28 at Avaya Stadium in San Jose, Calif. Farrell replaced Keegan Rosenberry as a halftime substitute and slotted in at right back, where he recorded 36 touches, one tackle, and completed 87 percent of his passes against English Premier League heavyweight Arsenal FC. He shared the field with MLS stars including Sebastian Giovinco, Clint Dempsey, and Darlington Nagbe in his first All-Star Game appearance. Farrell, the first-overall selection in the 2013 MLS SuperDraft, is tied for third in games played as well as third in games started among Revs players this season.
KEI KAMARA LIGHTS, KAMARA, ACTION: KEI MOVES INTO 12TH PLACE ON MLS ALL-TIME SCORING LIST Forward Kei Kamara has sparked the Revolution’s attack, particularly on the road, where he has scored five goals in the team’s last eight away games. With his 83rd career goal, Kamara moved past Brian Ching and Raul Diaz Arce for 12th place on Major League Soccer’s all-time goal-scoring chart. He currently ranks fourth among active players in goals scored, trailing only LA’s Landon Donovan (145), San Jose’s Chris Wondolowski (119), and Dallas’s Carlos Ruiz (88). Since arriving in New England, the six-foot-three forward has recorded five goals in 18 MLS appearances. Kamara made 41 appearances, scored 27 goals, and added eight assists with Columbus from 2015-16. In 2015, he was a finalist for the Landon Donovan MLS MVP award after he recorded a career-high 22 goals.

KAMARA MAKES 200TH MLS START; 250TH APPEARANCE Forward Kei Kamara made his 200th career MLS start in New England’s match against Philadelphia on Aug. 13. In his career, the forward has recorded starts with Columbus (53), San Jose (11), Houston (26), Kansas City (97), and New England (18) since joining MLS in 2006. The Sierra Leone native also surpassed a milestone with 250 career appearances, which he achieved on Aug. 28 at New York. He currently has 252 career regular season appearances KAMARA RECORDS REVOLUTION’S FASTEST GOAL OF 2016 SEASON Forward Kei Kamara scored the Revolution’s fastest goal of 2016 when he found the back of the net with a header in the first minute of New England’s 3-1 win against the Montreal Impact on Sept. 17. Prior to Kamara’s goal, midfielder Lee Nguyen held the mark for earliest goal when he scored in the third minute against Columbus Crew SC on July 9. He became the second Revolution player to record a third-minute goal this season, joining Diego Fagundez, who also scored in the third minute in the club’s season opener at Houston on March 6.

Crosses/Corners 192 110 38 104 120
TIERNEY TIES JOE-MAX MOORE FOR SECOND MOST ASSISTS IN REVS HISTORY Defender Chris Tierney recorded his 35th career assist in the team’s win against Chicago on July 23, moving into a tie with Joe-Max Moore for second place on the Revolution’s all-time assists chart. Tierney assisted Je-Vaughn Watson’s 85th-minute game-winning goal, delivering the corner kick that connected with Watson. He now trails only Steve Ralston in the record books, who owns the club record with 73 assists. TIERNEY ECLIPSES 200 CAREER APPEARANCE MARK In the Revolution’s match against New York City FC on July 6, defender Chris Tierney made his 200th career appearance with the Revolution. Tierney, who has spent the entirety of his nineyear professional career with New England, is the fifth player in club history to reach the mark, joining Steve Ralston (201), Jay Heaps (243), Matt Reis (254), and Shalrie Joseph (261). The defender also surpassed Steve Ralston and moved into sole possession of fourth place on the club’s all-time games played list when he made his 202nd career appearance on July 16 at Real Salt Lake. He currently has 213 career regular season appearances.
LEE NGUYEN NGUYEN JOINS REVOLUTION LEGENDS IN 30/30 CLUB In New England’s June 18 win in Vancouver, midfielder Lee Nguyen notched his 30th career assist and became the fourth player in club history to record at least 30 goals and 30 assists. He joins Taylor Twellman (101G, 28A), Steve Ralston (42G, 73A), Joe-Max Moore (41G, 35A), and Shalrie Joseph (37G, 34A) on the list. For his career, Nguyen now has 40 goals (fourth most in club history) and 32 assists (fifth most in club history) in 157 regular season appearances. FOR THE NGUYEN: MIDFIELDER’S RECORD-SETTING SEASON CONTINUES Midfielder Lee Nguyen is climbing up the Revolution’s record books this season. He enters Saturday’s match with six goals and eight assists, both team highs, in 30 appearances this season. Nguyen surpassed Shalrie Joseph to become New England’s all-time leader in PK goals with 13 when he converted an attempt against Seattle on May 28. He also took sole possession of fourth place on the club’s all-time goal-scoring list with his 38th goal (he now has 40). With three more, he will surpass Steve Ralston (42) and move into second place behind Taylor Twellman (101). In addition, Nguyen has taken sole possession of fifth place on the all-time assists chart (32), and is now two shy of tying Shalrie Joseph (34) for fourth place. Nguyen made his 150th MLS and Revolution start vs. Colorado on Sept. 10, becoming the eighth player in club history to reach that plateau. Nguyen also ranks third among all MLS players in chances created this season, and is one of three players to record more than 70 chances created: Player Sacha Kljestan (NY) Diego Valeri (POR) Lee Nguyen (NE) Mauro Diaz (DAL) Javier Morales (RSL)

KELYN ROWE KELYN GETS COOKING IN SEPTEMBER Midfielder Kelyn Rowe played a dynamic role in the Revolution’s offensive attack in September, contributing two goals and three assists in MLS play during the month. The fifth-year pro recorded an assist in three straight games for only the second time in his career (Aug. 23 - Sept. 3, 2014). Rowe was voted MLS Player of the Week following his performance against Montreal on Sept. 17, when he factored into all three Revolution goals, scoring twice and adding one assist. He also recorded assists in the club’s previous two games on Sept. 10 vs. New York City and Sept. 3 vs. Colorado. ROWE-ING THROUGH THE REVOLUTION RECORD BOOKS Midfielder Kelyn Rowe moved up a spot on the Revolution’s all-time assists list on Sept. 10 against New York City FC. Rowe picked up his 30th career assist in the 42nd minute on Lee Nguyen’s goal, vaulting him over Pat Noonan for sixth place all-time. In addition, he has now recorded at least five assists in each of his five MLS seasons. Previously, Rowe scored the 25th goal of his career in the Revolution’s win in Vancouver on June 18. With that goal, he became the seventh player in club history to record at least 25 goals and 25 assists, joining Taylor Twellman (101G, 28A), Steve Ralston (42G, 73A), Joe-Max Moore (41G, 35A), Lee Nguyen (40G, 32A), Shalrie Joseph (37G, 34A), and Pat Noonan (37G, 29A). Most recently, Rowe recorded a pair of goals against the Montreal Impact. The Revolution midfielder now has 27 career goals, which puts him in eighth place on the club’s all-time goal-scoring list. At San Jose on Aug. 24, he took sole possession of ninth place on the club’s all-time games played chart with his 149th appearance. The Revolution midfielder currently has 153 appearances. THAT’S HOW I ROWE: KELYN DOES IT ALL FOR THE REVS Midfielder Kelyn Rowe logged minutes at three positions against FC Dallas on May 14, one week after making his first professional start at right back. Rowe, who began the match on the left wing, shifted back to a defensive midfield role following an injury to Gershon Koffie and finished the match at left back. For the season, he has featured at nine of 11 positions on the field. Rowe traditionally plays on the right wing, but has also seen minutes at center forward, left wing, central attacking midfield, holding midfield, left back, and right back in 2016. That leaves center back and goalkeeper as the only positions left to check off the list. He made his second career start at right back in the team’s match at San Jose on Aug. 24.
NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION VS. SPORTING KANSAS CITY: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2016
TEAM NOTES GOALKEEPERS KNIGHTON SHINING ARMOR Goalkeeper Brad Knighton has backstopped the Revolution to eight wins in 2016, including three of the team’s U.S. Open Cup wins and five in MLS action. Knighton made his seventh consecutive League start against Columbus Crew SC on Sept. 25, which marks the longest games-started streak of his Revolution career. In his last seven appearances, he has submitted a 3-3-1 record with a 0.80 GAA and a pair of shutouts. The Richmond, Va. native was voted Santander Man of the Month for August for his performance, marking the second time he has won the honor this season. Knighton also won Man of the Month for June for his efforts against Vancouver and D.C. United. In U.S. Open Cup play, the nine-year MLS veteran was integral in leading New England to the Final. He posted a shutout in the Fourth Round, a 1-0 win against the NASL’s Carolina RailHawks. Knighton later made four saves and added two in penalty kicks in a heroic effort in the U.S. Open Cup Quarterfinal against Philadelphia on July 20, and posted four more saves in the Revs’ U.S. Open Cup Semifinal victory against Chicago on Aug. 9. SHUTTLEWORTH MAKES HISTORY WITH PENALTY PERFORMANCE On March 20 against the Philadelphia Union, Bobby Shuttleworth became the fourth goalkeeper in MLS history to record two penalty kick saves in the same regular season game. The Revolution keeper turned away PK attempts from Ilsinho and Sebastien Le Toux. He joins Kansas City’s Tony Meola (Aug. 10, 2002 vs. DC), Dallas’s D.J. Countess (Oct. 11, 2003 vs. NY/ NJ), and Vancouver’s David Ousted (July 12, 2015 vs. NY) on the list. Revolution goalkeeper Matt Reis stopped two penalty shots against Columbus in the 2004 MLS Cup Playoffs (Oct. 31, 2004) and remains the only player to accomplish the feat in the postseason. Shuttleworth earned an MLS Team of the Week nod for his performance. TURNER EARNS SPOT ON USL TEAM OF THE WEEK BENCH Goalkeeper Matt Turner continues to impress with the Richmond Kickers of the USL. Turner was named to the Week 20 USL Team of the Week bench for a pair of victories he posted while with the Kickers. He began Week 20 by submitting six saves en route to a 1-0 shutout victory at Rochester on Aug. 3. Turner concluded the week stopping three shots and earning the win, 2-1, at Montreal on Aug 6. Turner leads all USL goalkeepers that have played at least two games with a 0.43 goals against average. Turner made his professional debut with the Richmond Kickers on April 30 vs. Toronto FC II and has since joined the Kickers on multiple short-term loans, yielding only three goals in 630 minutes across seven starts.
ZACHARY HERIVAUX
HERIVAUX STARTS FOR HOMEGROWNS, DEBUTS FOR HAITI NATIONAL TEAM Midfielder and Homegrown Player Zachary Herivaux was one of 20 players to feature in the 2016 Chipotle MLS Homegrown Game, which saw the MLS Homegrowns fall, 2-0, to the Mexico Under-20 National Team at Avaya Stadium in San Jose, Calif. on July 27. Herivaux started and played 73 minutes in a central attacking midfield role before being replaced by the Houston Dynamo’s Christian Lucatero. In addition, the Revs’ third Homegrown Player in club history was one of only three players to play at least 70 minutes. Prior to making the trip to San Jose for MLS All-Star Week festivities, Herivaux received a call-up from the Haiti National Team and started in its friendly against the Argentina Olympic Team in Boca Raton, Fla. on July 24. It was Herivaux’s first call-up to the Haiti National Team’s senior squad. HERIVAUX PLAYS KEY ROLE AS REVS ADVANCE IN U.S. OPEN CUP Zachary Herivaux entered the Revolution’s Fourth Round U.S. Open Cup match with only seven minutes as a professional under his belt, but he went the distance in the club’s extratime win, logging 120 minutes and his first professional goal. Herivaux found the back of the net with a right-footed strike from distance in the 103rd minute, the latest game-winner in club history. He also logged 58 minutes in the team’s Round of 16 win vs. the New York Cosmos on June 29, 37 minutes in its Quarterfinal win vs. the Philadelphia Union on July 20, and 10 minutes in the club’s Semifinal win vs. the Chicago Fire on Aug. 9.
PLAYER NOTES FRESH CUP OF KOFFIE: GERSHON SETS NEW PERSONAL MARK WITH 4TH ASSIST Revolution midfielder Gershon Koffie notched his fourth assist of the season on Juan Agudelo’s 12th minute goal in the team’s Sept. 3 win against Colorado. Four assists marks a new career high for the Ghanaian midfielder, who previously recorded three assists in 2013 with Vancouver Whitecaps FC. The assist also marks Koffie’s 11th career MLS helper. Prior to this season, he had recorded seven assists over five seasons (2011-15) with Whitecaps FC. Koffie also added an assist on Juan Agudelo’s sixth-minute goal in the U.S. Open Cup Final against FC Dallas on Sept. 13. HELLO, NEUMANN: STEVE MAKES FIRST START OF 2016 REGULAR SEASON Midfielder Steve Neumann made his first MLS start of 2016 in New England’s match against Columbus on Sept. 25. He recorded one shot on target in 55 minutes before being replaced by Teal Bunbury. Neumann made his first MLS appearance of 2016 against the Colorado Rapids on Sept. 3, when he replaced Kelyn Rowe in the 86th minute. One week later, Neumann made his second appearance against New York City FC on Sept. 10. The former first-round MLS SuperDraft selection has now recorded 35 career appearances. Prior to his recent run of action, Neumann’s last MLS appearance was on Sept. 19, 2015 at Montreal.
GREAT SCOTT (CALDWELL)! Revolution midfielder Scott Caldwell has been a stabilizing and calculated presence in the team’s midfield this season.

REVOLUTION SIGN GOALKEEPER CODY CROPPER On Aug. 18, the Revolution announced the acquisition of United States international goalkeeper Cody Cropper as a Discovery Signing. Cropper, 23, spent the last six years in England at both the Premier League and English Football League Championship levels. He joins New England following one season with MK Dons, where he made nine appearances and logged 685 minutes. Prior to joining MK Dons, Cropper spent three seasons with Southampton F.C. of the Premier League. He began his time in England in the academy system of Championship side Ipswich Town, where he played from 2010-12. Cropper made his debut in the Revolution’s 18-man matchday squad on Sept. 3 against Colorado, and has since been available for each of the club’s last five matches. FARRELL’S MINUTES PLAYED, GAMES STARTED STREAKS SNAPPED Defender Andrew Farrell made the first substitute appearance of his four-year MLS career when he replaced defender Je-Vaughn Watson in the 79th minute on July 6 against NYCFC. Including the postseason, Farrell has now played in a total of 132 MLS games, the first 119 of which were starts. In the regular season, he has played in 126 MLS games with 125 starts. The team’s July 6 match vs. NYCFC night marked the first time Farrell was held out of the starting lineup since July 4, 2015 at FC Dallas. Entering the match, the Revolution defender was the only member of the club to play all 1,530 minutes of the regular season, starting all of the team’s first 17 League contests. He has appeared in 30 of New England’s 31 games to date after sitting out the team’s match at Toronto on Aug. 6. MY DEAR WATSON: JE-VAUGHN HAS MEMORABLE STRETCH Defender Je-Vaughn Watson played an influential role for the Revolution throughout the summer. The Jamaican international has scored three goals in his last eight appearances, including a pair of game-winners. In the U.S. Open Cup Quarterfinal match against Philadelphia on July 20, Watson scored his first goal across all competitions for the Revs in the 44th minute, and later converted the game-winning penalty kick. In the Revolution’s MLS meeting against the Chicago Fire on July 23, Watson scored his first regular season goal of 2016 on a headed shot in the 85th minute. His goal against Chicago was his first in MLS play since Aug. 22, 2014, with FC Dallas. In the Revs’ U.S. Open Cup Semifinal match against Chicago on Aug. 9, Watson recorded the game-winning goal in the 43rd minute, clinching the club’s berth into the U.S. Open Cup Final. JE-VAUGHN WATSON FEATURES FOR JAMAICA AT COPA AMERICA CENTENARIO Revolution defender Je-Vaughn Watson started all three of the Jamaica National Team’s matches of Copa America Centenario. Watson started and played an 88-minute shift at right back and recorded two shots and one foul suffered in the Reggae Boyz’s showdown with Venezuela. He was also in the Starting XI in front of 83,000 fans at the Rose Bowl against Mexico and in the team’s finale against Uruguay, going a full 90 in both matches. This was Watson’s second career appearance in the prestigious tournament, having represented Jamaica last summer when it participated as a guest team. He started and played 90 minutes in one of the Reggae Boyz’s group stage matches against a Lionel Messi-led Argentina. FEMI FATALE: HOLLINGER-JANZEN NETS WINNER, WINS MAN OF THE MONTH Femi Hollinger-Janzen’s improbable ascension from third-round SuperDraft selection to Revolution role player continued in the club’s win against Sounders FC on May 28. The forward scored the game-winning goal in the 80th minute with a right-footed line drive from outside of the box, securing three crucial points leading into the Copa America break. Femi finished the month of May with two goals and one assist, earning Santander Man of the Month recognition from Revolution fans for his standout performance. Femi, selected by the Revs with the 51st pick in the 2016 MLS SuperDraft, is one of only three players (Kip Colvey, San Jose Earthquakes; Colin Bonner, FC Dallas) selected in the third round or later to record minutes this season. He currently ranks second on the team with 17 substitute appearances and has earned one start this season. The former Indiana Hoosier made his first career start at Orlando City on April 30, recorded his first career assist at LA on May 8, and scored his first career goal vs. Chicago on May 14. HOMEGROWN PLAYERS STAY LOCAL The New England Revolution’s first two Homegrown Players in club history, Diego Fagundez and Scott Caldwell, inked new deals prior to the start of the 2016 MLS regular season. Fagundez, who signed his new contract on Jan. 6, has recorded 32 goals and 23 assists, logging 9,368 minutes in 149 games played. Just 21-years-old, Fagundez ranks among the top 10 in club history for goals, shots, and shots on goal. Caldwell, who signed his new deal on March 1, has recorded two goals and 11 assists, registering 8,961 minutes in 118 games played. In 2015, fans named Caldwell the Santander Most Valuable Player for his performance while his teammates recognized him as Players’ Player of the Year.
NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION VS. SPORTING KANSAS CITY: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2016
FLAG OF NEW ENGLAND Long before the sewing of the American flag as we know it -- before there were the United States, and hundreds of years before its slightly altered stars and stripes emerged on the Revolution club badge – a flag of a different design was flown proudly in the early colonies that now comprise New England.
LAST MEETING WITH SPORTING KANSAS CITY New England Revolution 2 at Sporting Kansas City 4 May 20, 2015 – Children’s Mercy Park (Kansas City, Kan.) The Revolution fell, 2-4, to Sporting Kansas City in the clubs’ last meeting on May 20, 2015.
Historic Revolutionary War artist John Trumbull’s depiction of the Battle of Bunker Hill featured a red flag with a green pine tree, which often served as a representation of the New England colonies. While historians argue the exact dates of origin of this early flag, over time, the design stood out as a symbol of honor for the territory.
Forward Juan Agudelo gave the Revolution an early lead with a goal in the 11th minute, but Sporting responded with four unanswered goals between the 29th and 46th minutes. Midfielder Scott Caldwell pulled one back for New England in the 64th minute, finishing off a vigiliant pass from Charlie Davies. Defender Chris Tierney nearly got the Revs within one goal in the 83rd minute, but was denied Sporting KC goalkeeper Tim Melia.
It was a reflection of unification. It’s flown as an homage to the region’s pride and passion.
Kelyn Rowe, Charlie Davies, and Jose Goncalves all recorded assists in the match.
No group has more pride or passion than Revolution supporters, who have flown the flag of New England in Gillette Stadium, and the former Foxboro Stadium, since the club’s inception in 1996.
Goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth made the start for New England and recorded two saves.
With such a deep connection to both club and country on many different levels, the flag of New England now adorns the Revolution’s uniforms – both as testament to the region’s revolutionary history, and as a visual representation of the club’s supporters. Situated on the back of the jersey, at the base of the neck – a position reserved for the most meaningful representations on soccer jerseys - the flag of New England now lives in honor on the back of every New England Revolution jersey.
MAN OF THE MATCH & MAN OF THE MONTH
Sitting above the players’ last names, the Revolution and supporters alike are reminded that the club holds true to its community’s historic roots in reverence, and continues to proudly represent the historic region of New England, while symbolically bringing the supporters onto the field, each and every game.

HEAD COACH JAY HEAPS
HEAD COACH JAY HEAPS Years with Club: 5 Years coaching in MLS: 5 Career Coaching Record: 63-66-38 Postseason Record: 4-2-1
Jay Heaps is in his fifth season as the head coach of the New England Revolution after taking the reins of the club following the 2011 season. In his first four years on the bench, Heaps transformed the Revs from a five-win club that finished at the bottom of the Eastern Conference to the 2014 Eastern Conference Champions while playing an open and attractive brand of soccer that has come to define the new-look Revolution. Over the course of his time with the Revolution, Heaps has transformed the club’s roster with just four players (Darrius Barnes, Diego Fagundez, Bobby Shuttleworth, and Chris Tierney) remaining from when he was named the sixth head coach in club history in November 2011. Smart drafting in colloboration with General Manager Mike Burns and the club’s staff has yielded players including Andrew Farrell and Kelyn Rowe, while others such as Teal Bunbury and Lee Nguyen have all seen their MLS careers revitalized under the 40-year-old’s tutelage. That group, along with the likes of Juan Agudelo, Scott Caldwell, José Gonçalves, and Gershon Koffie - all acquired by New England since Heaps was named head coach - forms the core of today’s New England Revolution. With the exception of Agudelo and Koffie, that roster nearly led the Revs to their first MLS Cup championship in 2014, only to fall just shy, losing 2-1 in extra time to LA Galaxy. The Revs equaled a club record for wins that season and ended the year on a 9-1-1 run that saw the club finish second in the Eastern Conference with 55 points, which were the second most in club history. The team was even better in the playoffs, scoring a record seven goals to beat Columbus, 7-3, on aggregate before knocking off New York, 4-3, on aggregate in the Eastern Conference Championship for the first time since 2007, when Heaps was still playing for the Revs. In 2016, he led the Revolution to the 2016 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final, his third appearance in the tournament final as a player and coach. Prior to being named the head coach of the Revolution, Heaps spent nine seasons as a player with the club. He ranks third in club history with 243 regular season games played and helped New England reach MLS Cup four times while winning the 2007 U.S. Open Cup and the 2008 SuperLiga. He served as an analyst on Revolution television broadcasts in 2010 and 2011.

A pair of MLS charter members square off Saturday as Sporting KC (12-127) and the New England Revolution (9-13-9) continue their respective playoff pushes in a pivotal interconference clash. The Revolution have won each of the last three meetings played at Gillette Stadium, prevailing 2-1 in the 2013 playoffs before claiming two home wins in the 2014 regular season. Sporting KC’s all-time record (24-16-11) and road record (11-9-6) vs. New England are both their best against any MLS charter member in the regular season. The clubs last met on May 20, 2015 at Children’s Mercy Park. Sporting KC cruised to a 4-2 victory behind a Krisztian Nemeth brace and additional goals from Benny Feilhaber and Dom Dwyer. Feilhaber tallied two assists in the contest, while New England scored twice through Juan Agudelo and Scott Caldwell. #NEvSKC: Recent Meetings (Sporting KC leads 24-16-11 in regular season) Date

Sporting KC Game Notes | Oct. 1, 2016 at New England Revolution | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES SPORTING KC SNAPS UP HUGE ROAD WIN PLAYOFF RACE HEATS UP Sporting KC claimed an invaluable 2-1 road victory over the San Jose Earthquakes last Saturday night, jumping up to fifth place in the Western Conference with a gutsy performance at Avaya Stadium. Dom Dwyer headed the visitors ahead inside seven minutes, and while Simon Dawkins leveled terms shortly before halftime for San Jose (7-9-13, 34 points), a back-heel from defender Kevin Ellis gave Sporting KC three massive points in the club’s push for the MLS Cup Playoffs.
Sporting KC currently sits in fifth place in the Western Conference, two points ahead of Seattle Sounders FC and the Portland Timbers. Peter Vermes is trying to lead his team to a club-record sixth straight playoff appearance, but will likely have to beat out either Portland or Seattle to secure a postseason berth in 2016. Seattle has advanced to the playoffs in all seven years of its existence since 2009, while the Timbers are reigning MLS Cup champions and at risk of becoming the first title holder to miss the playoffs the following year since the 2006 LA Galaxy failed miserably to defend their 2005 title.
The result saw Sporting KC (12-12-7, 43 points) exorcise demons of past and present: Peter Vermes’ men earned their first win in San Jose since August 2000 — ending a dismal run of 18 straight league matches, including playoffs — and snapped a 12-game road winless run in MLS that began on April 17. Now with 43 points from 31 games, Sporting KC is two points ahead of sixth-place Seattle Sounders FC and the seventh-place Portland Timbers.
Sporting KC may be two points ahead of their nearest playoff challengers, but Seattle holds a game in hand on both Kansas City and Portland as the calendar turns to October.

FEILHABER FANTASTIC
Benny Feilhaber tallied assists on each of Sporting KC’s goals at San Jose last Saturday night. He was credited with a secondary assist on Paulo Nagamura’s back-post cross to Dwyer, then set up Kevin Ellis’ 81st-minute winner with a well-taken corner kick. Feilhaber now has 11 assists this season, joining Preki as the two players in club history to reach double-digit assists in multiple regular seasons.

Feilhaber continues to to be one of the most productive midfielders around the league. With his two assists last Saturday, the 31-year-old is one shy of his compatriot Sacha Kljestan for the most combined goals and assists among MLS midfielders since the start of 2015.

ELLIS AND MELIA TAKE TEAM OF THE WEEK HONORS
Desperately needing three points in a place it hadn’t won for 16 years, Sporting KC received a pair of standout performances from goalkeeper Tim Melia and defender Kevin Ellis last Saturday night. Facing the San Jose Earthquakes in a pivotal Western Conference clash at Avaya Stadium, Melia produced three superb saves and Ellis scored arguably the most important goal of Sporting KC’s season in the 81st minute. The end result was a 2-1 victory that snapped an 18-game winless run in San Jose and vaulted Peter Vermes’ men to fifth place in the West.
DWYER HITS HALF A HUNDRED
Dom Dwyer stamped his name into the league history books on Sept. 18, becoming the 50th player to score 50 regular season goals. Among the 18 active players on the list, Dwyer is the youngest at 26 years old. Remarkably, he is one of just two on the list below the age of 30 — joining Houston forward Will Bruin, who is nine months older than the Sporting KC striker. Dwyer has enjoyed another excellent campaign in 2016, becoming the first player in club history to reach 12 goals in three straight regular seasons. He is tied for fourth in MLS with a team-best 15 goals, which now stands as Kansas City’s third-best scoring haul in the regular season. The center forward has been excellent since the turn of September and now has three games left to catch Preki’s 18-goal mark set in 1996. Dwyer set a club record with 22 regular season goals in 2014.
Melia and Ellis were rewarded for their heroics on Monday, landing spots on the Bleacher Report Team of the Week as Sporting KC won its first MLS road game since April 9 at the New York Red Bulls. Melia was also included on the MLSsoccer.com Team of the Week, his first such honor since starring in the win over New York. Ellis, meanwhile, received the weekly honor from ESPNFC. Melia was called upon just 15 seconds into the match punching away a dangerous cross before parrying Chris Wondolowski’s rebound effort wide of goal. He denied San Jose’s leading scorer again immediately after the restart, sprawling right to tip Wondolowski’s close-range effort beyond the far post. Melia’s final save on the hour mark was equally impressive, as he dove to smother Alberto Quintero’s low blast through traffic.
PETERSON IS “THE ANSWER”
Grizzled veteran Jacob Peterson continues to piece together arguably the best season in his 11-year MLS career. The forward has a career-best six goals this year, three more than his previous three seasons combined, and has emerged as a second scoring punch in the Sporting KC attack. He has also started 14 straight games, the longest run of consecutive starts in his 244-game career. In a 2-2 draw against the LA Galaxy on Sept. 18, Peterson became the third player in Sporting KC history to score in five straight regular season home games, joining Preki (1996) and Scott Sealy (2006).
On the night he started his 50th regular season match, Ellis latched onto Benny Feilhaber’s corner kick with a nifty back-heel for his first MLS goal of the 2016 campaign. In addition to netting the late game-winner, the homegrown defender finished with five clearances, a game-high four interceptions and four duels won.
SAAD HAPPY TO ASSIST
Sporting KC right back Saad Abdul-Salaam is tied for the lead among MLS defenders with six assists. He tallied his sixth helper of the season in Sporting KC’s 2-2 draw on Sept. 18 against the LA Galaxy, setting up Dom Dwyer’s goahead goal in the 69th minute. 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 38 of 58 appearances across all competitions.
RUBIO SPREADING THE WEALTH
Sporting KC forward Diego Rubio has become the first player in Sporting KC history to score in MLS, the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and the CONCACAF Champions League in the same season. The 23-year-old Chilean, who completed a permanent transfer to Sporting KC from Spanish side Real Valladolid on Sept. 1, joined the club in March and has since recorded three goals and one assist in 17 appearances across all competitions. He opened his MLS scoring account in a 1-1 draw at Vancouver Whitecaps FC on April 27, then netted the game-winner in extra time of a 2-1 victory over Minnesota United FC in the U.S. Open Cup Round of 32 on June 15. He added a CONCACAF Champions League goal on Sept. 18 in a 2-1 loss to Vancouver.
Abdul-Salaam, 25, 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.

Sporting KC Game Notes | Oct. 1, 2016 at New England Revolution | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes NAGAMURA ONE SHY OF 250
SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES (CONTINUED) THREE TITLES IN FOUR YEARS
Grizzled veteran Paulo Nagamura is one shy of his 250th appearance in the MLS regular season. The 33-year-old midfielder, now in his 12th MLS season, has played a pivotal role in Sporting KC’s three major championships over the last four years, notably converting penalty kicks in shootouts of the 2012 and 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups, the 2013 MLS Cup and the 2015 Western Conference Knockout Round. Nagamura played 120 minutes in each cup final victory.
When Sporting KC lifted the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup last September, it became the fifth MLS club to win three major trophies in a four-year span since 2005, joining Seattle, D.C. United, LA Galaxy and Columbus Crew SC. Should Sporting KC add to its trophy haul in 2016, it would join LA as the only MLS clubs to win four titles in a five-year span since 2005. Sporting KC MLS Cup (2013), Open Cup (2012, 2015) Seattle Sounders FC Open Cup (2009, 2010, 2011, 2014), Supporters’ Shield (2014) D.C. United Open Cup (2008), Supporters’ Shield (2006, 2007) LA Galaxy MLS Cup (2011, 2012, 2014), Supporters Shield (2010, 2011) Columbus Crew SC MLS Cup (2008), Supporters’ Shield (2008, 2009)
A native of Sao Paulo Brazil, Nagamura began his career with Sao Paulo FC and English Premier League giant Arsenal FC. He moved to the United States in 2005 to play for the LA Galaxy, where he won the MLS Cup and U.S. Open Cup in his first season. He also played for Toronto FC (2007) and Chivas USA (2007-11), becoming an MLS All-Star in 2009. A two-time MLS Cup champion and threetime U.S. Open Cup winner, he has started 236 of 265 career MLS appearances including playoffs.
JOYA JOINS SPORTING KC
Sporting KC announced that the club had signed midfielder Benji Joya ahead of the Sept. 15 MLS roster freeze deadline. A native of San Jose, California, Joya signed for Mexican powerhouse Santos Laguna in 2011 at age 18. He quickly progressed through the club’s youth ranks and made his Liga MX debut with the senior team in September 2012. Santos Laguna loaned Joya to the Chicago Fire in 2014, where he started nine of 12 regular season appearances. The midfielder scored a goal just one minute into his MLS debut on March 9, coming off the bench in a 3-2 loss at Chivas USA. Joya spent most of 2015 and 2016 on loan at Club Necaxa in the Mexican second division.
Since joining Sporting KC in 2012, Nagamura has tallied seven goals and eight assists in 115 appearances across all competitions. He recorded his first assist of 2016 last Saturday, lofting a perfect ball to the far post for Dom Dwyer to head home in the seventh minute of a 2-1 win at the San Jose Earthquakes.
CCL HOPES DASHED
Sporting KC crashed out of the Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League with a 2-1 defeat to Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Sept. 18 at Children’s Mercy Park. Diego Rubio scored for the hosts shortly after halftime, but a 41st-minute goal from Erik Hurtado and a 93rd-minute strike from 15-year-old Alphonso Davies clinched first place in Group C for Vancouver and eliminated Sporting KC from North America’s premier club tournament.
At the international level, Joya featured extensively for the United States U-20s. He captained the side to a second-place finish at the 2013 CONCACAF U-20 Championship and was a member of the U.S. squad at the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Turkey. He also made four appearances for the U.S. U-23s.
Vancouver won the group with a perfect record after defeating Central FC of Trinidad and Tobago on Wednesday. Sporting KC will host Central FC in the Group C finale on Oct. 19 at Children’s Mercy Park. 2016-17 Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League Group C Standings # Club Record PTS 1 Vancouver 4-0-0 9 2 Sporting KC 0-2-1 1 3 Central FC 0-2-1 1

Sporting KC Coach Bios | Oct. 1, 2016 at New England Revolution | 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 126 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 102 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 289 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. Year

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.
