D.C. UNITED vs SPORTING KANSAS CITY RFK MEMORIAL STADIUM, Washington, D.C. Oct. 3, 2014 (WEEK 30, MLS Game #285)

8 p.m. ET (NBCSN)

A crucial match at the head of the Eastern Conference comes up on Friday evening when D.C. United play host to Sporting Kansas City at RFK Stadium before an NBC Sports Network audience. United currently sit atop the conference following their 1-0 home win against Philadelphia last week, and clinch a berth in the MLS Cup Playoffs and go a long way to securing the top seed in the East with a victory. Sporting are six points adrift in a tie for second place, hitting the road off a third consecutive defeat at Sporting Park in a 3-2 loss to New England last Friday. REFEREE: Hilario Grajeda.

Fabian Espíndola, Chris Rolfe and Perry Kitchen scored seven minutes apart in the first half to lead United to a 3-0 win Aug. 23 at Sporting Park; Espíndola scored the game’s only goal in the first half in a United victory May 31 at RFK Stadium.  United’s two wins this year came after a seven-game undefeated streak for SKC in the series, dating back to 2010. United’s win in the last match was their first in Kansas City since 2007 and their first ever at Sporting Park, going nine visits without a victory.  Coaches record: Peter Vermes vs. DC: P13 W7 L4 T2 … Ben Olsen vs. KC: P9 W2 L6 T1 LAST MEETING (MLS)  The game's three goals came in a seven-minute span right at the half-hour mark. United opened the scoring in the 24th minute when Fabian Espindola took Luis Silva's pass, found space at the top left of Kansas City's penalty area, and slotted a low shot just past a diving Jon Kempin and inside the far post.  The visitors doubled the lead just four minutes later, again with an assist to Silva. Chris Rolfe made a perfectlytimed run to slip behind Sporting's back line, finishing his 1-v-1 past Kempin from the top of the box.  Three minutes after that, it was 3-0. This time, it was Rolfe's turn to play provider, his through ball springing Perry Kitchen with plenty of space to operate behind the back line. He drove into the upper left of the penalty area, made a quick cutback to avoid charging center back Aurelien Collin, and slotted the ball near post.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Jon Kempin - Igor Juliao, Aurelien Collin, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic Lawrence Olum - Graham Zusi, Benny Feilhaber (Claudio Bieler 70) - Sal Zizzo (C.J.

MLS GAME INFORMATION

D.C. UNITED D.C. United put an end to their winless streak after three games, defeating Philadelphia Union 1-0 on Saturday afternoon at RFK Stadium. United are still in first place in the Eastern Conference with 51 points from 29 games. LAST MATCH  The game's lone goal came after 10 minutes. A deflected cross found its way back to United fullback Chris Korb, who quickly whipped the ball in to the top of the six. Luis Silva was waiting and deftly headed the ball past Union 'keeper Rais Mbolhi and into the back of the net.  Union center back Carlos Valdes kept his side close later in the first half when he cleared a Fabian Espindola effort off the line, after the D.C. striker had rounded Mbohli. United 'keeper Bill Hamid was called upon to make four saves for the shutout.  United head coach Ben Olsen made two changes to the team that reached a 3-3 draw with the Chicago Fire at Toyota Park. Chris Korb and Fabian Espindola came into the side, replacing Samuel Inkoom and Michael Seaton.  D.C. UNITED (4-4-1-1): Bill Hamid - Chris Korb (Chris Pontius 61), Bobby Boswell, Steve Birnbaum, Taylor Kemp - Sean Franklin, Perry Kitchen, Davy Arnaud, Nick DeLeon - Luis Silva (Eddie Johnson 68) - Fabian Espindola (Lewis Neal 85). TEAM NEWS  United won their fifth consecutive game at RFK Stadium, the club’s longest home winning streak since 2012, when they won seven in a row. The club record is eight consecutive home wins, set back in 1998.  “At times I still think we can manage the game a little better,” said United head coach Ben Olsen. “It’s a good and bad thing at times – we have guys that are just so hungry and can score goals and have the ability to do it and it becomes a little bit of a back and forth. But I can’t say enough about a group in general, the way they’ve handled the last two months.”  With a win or a draw against Sporting KC, United will clinch a postseason berth after not qualifying a season ago. They will also qualify if Toronto FC fail to defeat the LA Galaxy, or if New York and Houston draw.  “KC is doing well to keep pressure on us, New England is coming hard and fast. We want the No. 1 spot and we’re going to keep pushing for it,” said goalkeeper Bill Hamid. “Now the goal is to get as many points as possible, even if we go on the road - we have to get one point, we have to lock it down. We want to keep climbing the ladder so we can clinch that No. 1 spot.”  Luis Silva scored his third goal in the last two matches, and now has 11 goals for the season. He had eight goals over his first two MLS seasons before this year.  “His confidence is so high right now, every time he takes on players and he has the quality to do it. He’s got a little bit of everything; he’s calm and his composure is there,” said Olsen.  Chris Korb came into the lineup, making his first league start since Aug. 9, coming in at right back. He was credited with his third assist of the season, his first since July 20.  With Korb returning to the team, Sean Franklin moved forward to the right side of midfield, his first start at that position in league play this year. All of his first 23 starts had been at fullback.  Eddie Johnson made his first league appearance since Aug. 31, coming off the substitutes’ bench for the final 22 minutes. He had also come on as a substitute in the midweek match in the CONCACAF Champions League against Panama’s Tauro FC.  “I thought Sean did well in the midfield. Korb did what he needed to do. Our center backs were strong; Fabi still keeps producing magic and Silva keeps scoring. It’s a good group,” said Olsen.  Chris Pontius also made his third consecutive appearance in a league match as a substitute, coming on for the final half-hour.  “Having him back means a lot. He can play numerous roles. While games go on he can figure out how to turn into a No. 10 sometimes playing right behind those strikers,” said Hamid. “He’s very dynamic and we need that going into a stretch like this because he’s dangerous and teams can’t handle his movement and he can hit a ball from distance or on the move one time. He’s going to be a vital piece for us going into the playoffs.”  Said Olsen: “He’s getting there, I think today was big for him, he pushed through that, especially when we were grinding there in the last 20 minutes. It’s a lot of work to get forward and also to come back and do all the dirty work.” SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City suffered their third consecutive defeat at Sporting Park, falling 3-2 to the New England Revolution on Friday evening. Sporting are in a tie for second place in the Eastern Conference with 45 points from 29 games. LAST MATCH  The Revolution took the lead in the 22nd minute. Kevin Alston chipped a cross to Kelyn Rowe at the top left corner of the 6-yard box, and his low strike rolled past 'keeper Eric Kronberg and just inside the post.

MLS GAME INFORMATION



The lead was doubled in the 35th minute on a remarkable goal. Revs center back Jose Goncalves won a challenge near the edge of New England's defensive third -- then took off straight down the middle of the field. He was not touched until he put a left-footed shot past Kronberg from just outside the penalty area.  Sporting made it 2-1 in the 54th minute when Paulo Nagamura took a pass from Kevin Ellis, drove into the area and chipped over goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth from a tight angle.  Then just two minutes later, Nagamura collected Antonio Dovale's pass and lofted a ball across the face of goal for Dom Dwyer to finish with a close-range header to level terms.  But the Revs had the final answer. Jermaine Jones collected the ball just outside the top of the restraining arc and put in a low shot past Kronberg for the game-winner in the 85th minute.  Sporting manager Peter Vermes made three changes to the team that strolled to a 4-0 victory against Chivas USA at StubHub Center. Eric Kronberg came in between the posts in place of Andy Gruenebaum, Kevin Ellis started in central defense for Aurelien Collin, and Jorge Claros came into the team in place of the suspended Lawrence Olum.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Eric Kronberg - Igor Juliao, Kevin Ellis, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic - Jorge Claros - Paulo Nagamura (C.J. Sapong 90), Benny Feilhaber - Antonio Dovale (Soony Saad 61), Dom Dwyer, Graham Zusi. TEAM NEWS  Sporting Kansas City lost for a third consecutive game at home, the first time they’ve ever lost three games in a row at Sporting Park, and the first time in league play since 2006, when they played at Arrowhead Stadium.  “I don't think I've ever said this to them before, but I said if you play the way you play tonight – if we put the goals aside – it's not that you're going to be competitive in this league, but you're going to win a lot and you're going to win often,” SKC manager Peter Vermes said. “It's extremely painful for the guys to walk out of here with nothing, but when you look at the long term and play three games in nine days with the intensity that we played with, it's a good sign for the future.”  It was also Sporting’s fifth loss in their last six matches overall; they have won just two matches since reeling off four consecutive victories July 12-26.  “We had our four game skid there, but we got back on track with our wins against Chivas and the two CONCACAF games. I feel like we're playing better,” said defender Seth Sinovic. “Obviously we didn't get the result, but there's still some good soccer being played. We're scoring a lot of goals. We just have to be better defensively and get back to our true form being a really good, tough defensive team. That's what made us hard to beat last year.”  Dom Dwyer became the first player in Kansas City club history to hit the 20-goal mark in league play for a season, scoring for a third consecutive match.  “I haven't really thought about the number, to be honest. I'm focused on winning games. Twenty goals doesn't matter to me right now because we just lost,” said Dwyer. “Obviously I'm a forward, and you like to score. But I'd rather not score and win. It doesn't mean too much right now. We have four more games left, then the playoffs. Then maybe we can talk numbers.”  Paulo Nagamura scored his first goal since May 10, netting the opener as he played in his third consecutive league match following a two-month absence through injury.  “He's a winner and that's why he's valuable to the team. It's hard to find guys like that, but that's what he is. He'll find a way to win,” said Vermes. “It's simple. It's hard to find guys like that, but that's what he is. He has a winning mentality and he doesn't expect anything else, not from himself and not from his teammates, and that's why he's important to the team and that's why when he comes on we have success.”  Sporting also shipped three goals in a game for the fourth time in the last six matches. They had not allowed more than two goals in any of their first 24 league matches.  “It's evident that if you don't limit your mistakes, teams are going to punish you. We had three mistakes, and they punished us for it,” Sinovic said. “They're things we have to correct, and they're things we can correct. We've done it in the past and I think we'll do it again.”  Kevin Ellis made his first league start since Aug. 29, coming into central defense in place of Aurelien Collin.  “I would love if we didn't have as many injuries as we had over the course of the season. It's taken us out of our rhythm and I think's it's been a big issue for us. But I would say that what it has done is that it's helped us find a way with the guys that have not only come into the team and had to fulfill roles that they normally wouldn't have, but it's given them a lot of experience,” said Vermes. “If you look at tonight, Collin couldn't play and Kevin Ellis played. And he played excellent. He was fantastic. He was good in all aspects of the game. To see that and have guys that you can rely on this late in the season – that's a positive.”

GAME NOTES Playoffs on the Line With a win or a tie against Sporting Kansas City, D.C. United will be the first Eastern Conference club to clinch a playoff berth. This will be the second time in three years that the club has competed in the postseason, having reached the semifinals in 2012. However, the Black-and-Red can also gain entry should there be a tie between the New York Red Bulls and the Houston Dynamo. And, at 51 points, DCU is also in the postseason with a Toronto FC loss to or tie with the LA Galaxy. D.C. United Continues to Roll The Black-and-Red remain in first place in the Eastern Conference after a 1-0 win against the Philadelphia Union at home last weekend. With the victory, D.C. United extended its lead to six points over Sporting Kansas City (13-11-6, 45 points) and the New England Revolution (14-13-3, 45 points), who are tied for second place with four games remaining in the regular season. The Black-and-Red leapfrogged Sporting on Aug. 23, topping the Kansas City side 3-0 on the road at Sporting Park. The last time United was in first place this late in to the season was in 2007. Last Meeting at RFK D.C. United earned a 1-0 victory over Sporting Kansas City in the teams’ most recent meeting at RFK Stadium on May 31. A cross-turned-goal from United forward Fabián Espíndola was enough to seal the result, as the club rode the 28th minute tally, never relinquishing the lead. The win, United’s first against KC since May of 2010, pushed them into second place in the Eastern Conference standings with 21 points from 13 games, just two off the pace of front runner New England Revolution. Sporting, however, fell into third place in the East with 19 points from 14 games. The loss stretched KC’s winless run to five games. Birnbaum, Best of the Newcomers? Rookie Steven Birnbaum has started and appeared in the last 17 games for United after replacing the injured Jeff Parke on June 7 against the Columbus Crew. With his help in every game since, the Black-and-Red holds the second best goals against average in MLS (1.13). In addition, Birnbaum has helped the team to a 9-5-3 record and first place in the Eastern Conference. Boswell the Backbone – Defender of the Year? Defender Bobby Boswell started his 30th game of the season on Sept. 27 in the club’s win over Philadelphia. He is the only D.C. United player to start every regular season match so far in 2014. Boswell is tied for the lead in MLS in games (30) and is second in minutes played (2,685). He captains a United defense that leads the league in shutouts (11) and holds the second best goals against average (1.13), just behind the LA Galaxy (1.03). The defender also boasts two goals and a career-high three assists in 2014. Boswell earned his most recent assist in the club’s 3-3 draw against the Chicago Fire on Sept. 20 at Toyota Park. Hamid makes case for Goalkeeper of the Year D.C. United goalkeeper Bill Hamid, who was named an All-Star for the first time this season, leads MLS with a 75.0 saves percentage. With a 10 win against the Philadelphia Union on Sept. 27, Hamid surpassed his career-best eight shutouts in 2012. Hamid is now tied with David Ousted of Vancouver for first in the League in shutouts, with nine. The 23-yearold ‘keeper is also third in the League in saves (99) and is tied for fourth in wins with Nick Rimando of Real Salt Lake (12). Last time United Swept Sporting KC Out of the last 19 MLS seasons, D.C. United has only swept Sporting Kansas City four times. With a victory, United will earn its first sweep since the 2006 season, when the club went (4-0-0). The Black-and-Red also enjoyed the upper hand in 2001, 1999 and 1998.

American Soccer Now's Top 100 Six D.C. United standouts have made the American Soccer Now's Top 100 list. Earning due recognition this year is Perry Kitchen at No. 42, Bill Hamid at No. 44,Eddie Johnson at No. 51, Nick DeLeon at No. 79, Chris Rolfe at No. 84 and Luis Silva at 92. D.C. United, Real Salt Lake and the Colorado Rapids each have six players on the list, which is the most by an MLS club. Last 2014 Meeting D.C. United captured its first-ever win at Sporting Park on Aug. 23, using a 3-0 shutout victory to leapfrog Kansas City into first place. United went on a three-goal tear in a span of under eight minutes in the first half, with goals from Fabián Espíndola, Chris Rolfe and Perry Kitchen. United (137-4) won for the fifth time in 11 road matches, while Sporting fell to 5-2-6 at Sporting Park. The match was the first in MLS history to feature two Homegrown players starting in goal – United's Bill Hamid and Sporting's Jon Kempin. Silva’s Hot Streak Continues With a goal in last weekend’s 1-0 win against the Union, D.C. United forward Luis Silva continues to build on his career-best scoring total. Silva now has eleven goals (four assists), all of which have been scored in the past 16 games. Furthermore, Silva leads the club with four gamewinning goals, one ahead of Chris Rolfe. Chris Korb Contributing to the Attack United defender Chris Korb has a career-high matching three assists this season, having notched his third in the club’s 1-0 home win over Philadelphia last Saturday. The four-year defender has registered two assists in the last five games for the club. That last time Korb earned three assists in a single season was in 2012, playing for the Black-andRed. Silva and Espindola en Route to Milestone D.C. United forwards Luis Silva and Fabián Espíndola have combined for 20 goals and 13 assists this season, after 25 and 23 games, respectively. Silva has surpassed his career-high scoring record by six goals this MLS season, with eleven thus far. In his first season with United, Espíndola has nine goals and nine assists, needing just one more goal to tie his career-high set in 2011 with Real Salt Lake (ten). The last time two starting forwards scored more goals combined was in 2007 with the partnering of Luciano Emilio (20 goals, 1 assist) and Jaime Moreno (7 goals, six assists). With one more goal, Silva and Espíndola can tie Emilio’s and Moreno’s combined scoring record set in 2008 (21 goals). All-Time Record against Kansas City D.C. United’s all-time record is 20-20-10 against Sporting Kansas City. Since their first meeting with Kansas City in 1996, United has gone 13-65 at home and 7-14-5 on the road. While United has outscored its Eastern Conference opponent 35-26 at RFK Stadium, the club has fallen slightly short at Sporting Park, allowing 47 while scoring 31. Key First Goal D.C. United is one of three teams in MLS that have yet to lose a game when scoring the first goal, along with the San Jose Earthquakes and LA Galaxy. After 30 games, the Black-and-Red has maintained the best record when tallying first, 14-0-1, with a .967 pct. In addition, the club continues to hold the best record when leading at the half (12-0-1), ahead of Sporting Kansas City (9-0-1).

All-Star Defense On the heels of the team’s 1-0 win at home last weekend, the D.C. United defense continues to hold the top spot in MLS with eleven shutouts. United also boasts the second best goals against average (1.13), behind only the Los Angeles Galaxy (1.03). Strong at RFK With last weekend’s home win, D.C. United improved to 10-2-3 at RFK Stadium, where the team has allowed 11 goals against, fewest at home in the MLS this season. Leading Shutouts With a 1-0 win against the Philadelphia Union on Sept. 27, D.C. United now holds the best shutout mark in the League, with 11, ahead of Colorado, Houston, LA and Vancouver (nine). Two of the club’s shutouts came against Kansas City this season, as Sporting fell to United on May 31 (1-0) at RFK Stadium and on Aug. 23 (3-0) at Sporting Park. In addition, United is tied for the third best shutout mark against Sporting all-time (13), with LA, New England and New York. Goals against Average vs. SKC D.C. United is one of four teams with a 0.00 goals-against average against Sporting KC this season, along with Real Salt Lake, Seattle and Vancouver.

Dwyer at RFK The second-leading goal scorer in MLS this season is scoreless at RFK stadium after three career seasons in Kansas City. Dwyer has featured in one game (one start) at RFK, recording four shots, two on goal. He made his debut in the Nation’s Capital on May 31, when United topped the reigning MLS Cup Champions 1-0. Goal Scoring Success vs. Sporting Among active players, forward Fabián Espíndola is tied for fifth all-time in goals scored against Sporting Kansas City (five). Midfielder Chris Rolfe is tied for 13th in the category, with three goals. The duo has combined for three goals against KC this season, with two and one, respectively.

First half goals from Fabian Espindola, Chris Rolfe and Perry Kitchen powered the visitors in Sporting KC’s second home loss of 2014. D.C. United did their damage in a seven-minute span that started in the 24th minute when Espindola cut inside from the left flank and curled a shot inside the far post from the edge of the penalty area. Four minutes later, Rolfe beat the offside trap and slotted past Jon Kempin in a one-on-one situation. Sporting KC’s deficit stretched to three by the 31st minute when D.C. United again found space behind the backline, Perry Kitchen scoring his first goal of the season. Friday is the third and final meeting between the sides this regular season. D.C. also beat Sporting KC 1-0 on May 31 at RFK Stadium with Fabian Espindola scoring the 28th-minute game-winner.

noteworthy milestones • • • • • • • • • • • •

Sporting KC has sold out 51 straight MLS home games at Sporting Park. Peter Vermes is in his sixth season as manager, second longest in club history behind Bob Gansler. Vermes’ winning percentage (.555) is best for Sporting KC all-time. During the 2014 regular season, 30 different players have started a match for Sporting KC, a club record and most among MLS teams this year. Graham Zusi’s 506 career corner kicks taken in the regular season are most all-time for Sporting KC and ninth in MLS history. Graham Zusi is third on Sporting KC’s all-time assist chart with 38 and tied with Chris Klein for second on the game-winning assists chart with 16. Aurelien Collin is second in club history for most MLS goals scored by a defender with 15, two shy of Jimmy Conrad (17). With a start on Friday, Matt Besler would move into sole possession of seventh place on Sporting KC’s all-time games started chart with 143. Dom Dwyer’s 20 MLS goals in 2014 are first on the club’s single-season goal scoring chart all-time. Dom Dwyer is ninth on the club’s all-time scoring chart with 22 MLS regular season goals. Graham Zusi is 10th with 21. Dom Dwyer, C.J. Sapong and Graham Zusi are tied for seventh on the club’s all-time game-winning goals chart with seven. Dom Dwyer’s five multi-goal games are tied for most in a single season in club history (and tied for third most all-time). 20-year-old Igor Julio is the youngest player in Sporting KC history to start 20 matches for the club.

sporting kc news & notes Dwyer continues excellent run of form

Forward Dom Dwyer has enjoyed a breakout season in his third year with Sporting KC. The 24-year-old tops Kansas City’s all-time single-season scoring chart with 20 MLS goals, while his 21 goals in all competitions are also a franchise best. Dwyer broke the 18-year-old scoring record formerly held by Preki with his 19th League strike against Chivas USA on Sept. 12, then became the team’s first 20-goal scorer last Friday against the New England Revolution. Major League Soccer’s Player of the Month for May, Dwyer scored in four straight games from May 10-23, becoming just the third player in club history to score in four consecutive MLS contests. Fast forward to October and the Englishman has not only repeated the feat, but added a CONCACAF Champions League goal to mark five straight games he’s found the back of the net. Should Dwyer score against D.C. United on Friday, he would be the first player in Sporting KC history to score in six straight appearances across all competitions. Dwyer is second in the MLS Golden Boot race, trailing New York’s Bradley Wright-Phillips (24 goals) with four games remaining in the regular season. A 2014 MLS All-Star, Dwyer is tied for the MLS lead with five multi-goal games (tied for third most all-time in club history) and has appeared in a team-high 29 MLS matches this season. Only six MLS players have recorded more multi-goal games in a season over the League’s 19-year history than Dwyer’s five. Furthermore, the Englishman’s six successful penalties in 2014 are now second most in team history and fourth most in a single-season by an MLS player all-time. Dwyer is ninth on the club’s career goal scoring chart, one ahead of teammate Graham Zusi. C.J. Sapong is two goals behind in 11th place. To put Dwyer’s goal scoring form into perspective, only nine players had ever scored 20 goals for Sporting KC in their careers before the 2014 campaign. Dwyer has amassed that total in a single season. Sporting KC all-time regular season scoring list Goals GP Seasons Player 1. Preki 71 218 1996-2000; 2002-05 2. Davy Arnaud 43 240 2002-2011 2.

Sporting KC news & Notes (continued) Sporting KC braces for final month of MLS regular season

The reigning MLS champions face a stern test Friday night, visiting Eastern Conference leaders D.C. United. Ben Olsen’s side has a League-best eight clean sheets at home and a 10-2-3 record at RFK Stadium this season. Sporting KC is looking for their first points of the year against D.C. United, who have rebounded impressively in 2014 after a dismal 2013 campaign in which they finished 3-24-7 (16 points). Following the trip to D.C., Sporting KC hosts rivals Chicago Fire (Oct. 10) before traveling to the Philadelphia Union (Oct. 18) and concluding the regular season against the New York Red Bulls (Oct. 26) at Sporting Park. All three opponents are fighting for their postseason lives in a crowded Eastern Conference table. Chicago’s (5-7-16, 31 pts) playoff hopes hang by a thread, while Philadelphia (9-10-11, 38 pts) and New York (10-8-11, 41 pts) largely remain in control of their own destinies. Sporting KC is winless (0-5-3) against their remaining four opponents this season. The team is 2-6-1 against Eastern Conference teams currently in playoff position and 1-2-2 against the West’s top five teams.

Sporting KC’s depth tested throughout 2014 season

Through 30 games in the 2014 MLS regular season, Sporting KC has featured 28 different starting lineups. Peter Vermes’ lineup selection has been complicated by several factors throughout the year. In March, the club had to balance multiple competitions during the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals. In May, schedule congestion came to the forefront with seven MLS games during the month. More recently, goalkeepers Eric Kronberg and Andy Gruenebaum suffered injuries, giving Jon Kempin his first career MLS start. To complicate matters, Chance Myers and Ike Opara have suffered seasonending injuries; Matt Besler, Graham Zusi and Lawrence Olum have seen extended international action; and Erik Palmer-Brown, Aurelien Collin, Dom Dwyer and Benny Feilhaber have served one-game suspensions. As a result, 30 different players have started an MLS match for the club this season, a team record and most in the League. Of those 30 players, 12 were 23 years of age or younger at the start of the season. The club’s defense has been stretched most of all, with eight different players featuring in the centerback position during the 2014 campaign. Sporting KC is just the 14th team in MLS history to start 30 different players in a single regular season. Of the previous 13 clubs to do so, only one has finished the year with a winning record (2008 Chivas USA, 12-11-7). Vermes’ 1311-6 mark this season is no small accomplishment given the forced reshuffling of his squad throughout the 2014 campaign.

Kronberg steps back between the posts

After missing more than two months with with a broken bone in his left hand, goalkeeper Eric Kronberg has returned to action for Sporting KC. Named the No. 1 keeper at the beginning of 2014, he started the team’s first 17 MLS matches before suffering the hand injury in training on July 9. Prior to the setback, he led MLS with seven shutouts and a 0.88 goals against average. The MLS Player of the Month for June, Kronberg is now in his ninth professional season. The 31-year-old is the club’s longest-tenured player and has remained with his current team longer than any active MLS goalkeeper. Only one player in club history (Davy Arnaud) has been with the team for more than nine seasons and only three other active MLS players have longer tenures with their teams: Logan Pause (12, Chicago Fire), Landon Donovan (10, LA Galaxy) and Gonzalo Segares (10, Chicago Fire). Despite 11 weeks on the sidelines, Kronberg’s seven shutouts are tied for fifth in MLS, and though his goals against average dropped to 1.00 after a 3-2 loss to New England last Friday, it still ranks first among keepers with at least 400 minutes played.

Besler moving up Sporting KC’s all-time charts

Sporting KC captain and U.S. international defender Matt Besler has been a regular fixture for the club since he was drafted out of Notre Dame in the 2009 MLS SuperDraft. With a start on Friday, the 27-year-old Overland Park, Kansas native would move into sole possession of seventh place on Sporting KC’s all-time chart with 143 regular season starts. Besler’s 147 regular season appearances for the club rank 10th all-time, two behind Portland Timbers defender Michael Harrington and the retired Mo Johnston. He ranks eighth alltime in regular season minutes played (12,846), a category currently topped by Sporting KC assistant coach Kerry Zavagnin (20,515).

Defensive struggles uncharacteristic for MLS champs

In the 2011, 2012 and 2013 MLS regular seasons combined, no team conceded fewer goals (97 total, or 0.95 per game) than Sporting KC. Peter Vermes’ men also collected 37 clean sheets during this period, two behind coleaders Real Salt Lake and LA Galaxy. Sporting KC continued the trend through the first half of 2014, notching seven shutouts in their first 16 games. However, the reigning MLS Cup champions have just one clean sheet in 14 games since the beginning of July and have not shut out an opponent at Sporting Park since May 4. Sporting KC is currently on a three-game home losing streak, their longest since 2006, and have conceded three goals in each of those matches. Prior to this year, Sporting KC had never allowed at least three goals in three straight home games in club history.

Nagamura nets Team of Week honors

Midfielder Paulo Nagamura earned a spot on Bleacher Report’s Team of the Week on Monday after a commanding midfield performance against the New England Revolution last Friday. The 31-year-old MLS veteran played a crucial role in Sporting KC’s second half comeback, scoring in the 54th minute to cut New England’s lead in half and assisting Dom Dwyer’s headed goal just two minutes later to level the match. A two-time MLS Cup champion (2006 LA Galaxy, 2013 Sporting KC) in his third season with Sporting KC, Nagamura leads the current roster in League appearances (232, including postseason) and minutes played (18,684). Last Friday marked just the fourth time in his MLS career that he has scored and assisted in the same match. The Brazilian-born midfielder has started 17 games this season but was out from early July to early September with an injured left ankle.

Sporting KC takes control of CONCACAF Champions League Group 2

Sporting KC has moved into the driver’s seat in CONCACAF Champions League Group 2 after a pair of convincing victories at Sporting Park. The MLS champions (2-0-1, 7 points) defeated Deportivo Saprissa 3-1 on Sept. 18 before dispatching Real Esteli 3-0 on Sept. 23. The results give Sporting KC a threepoint cushion over Saprissa (1-1-1, 4 points), whom they will face in the group stage finale on Oct. 23 in San Jose, Costa Rica. Nicaraguan club Real Esteli (0-22, 2 points) has been eliminated from the competition. True to form, Dom Dwyer opened the scoring against Saprissa with a penalty kick in the 13th minute, extending his single season club scoring record in all competitions to 20 goals. The second half, however, belonged to winger Antonio Dovale, who scored two goals in a seven-minute span to seal the victory. The Spaniard’s excellent volley in the 69th minute restored Sporting KC’s lead, and he completed his brace after finishing an incisive attack involving Dwyer and Benny Feilhaber. Dovale’s three CCL goals this year put him in a tie for second on the club’s all-time international scoring chart. The match against Real Esteli saw goalkeeper Eric Kronberg return between the posts for the first time since early July. The hosts went ahead after 13 minutes as a slick buildup from Feilhaber and Seth Sinovic allowed Claudio Bieler to slot home from close range. The Argentine secured his brace with a 70th-minute penalty kick before second half substitute Sal Zizzo scored his first Sporting KC goal 12 minutes from time, nodding Dovale’s corner kick into the far left corner. In a game that saw eight yellow cards issued, Graham Zusi received his second caution of the group stage and will be suspended for Sporting KC’s match at Saprissa. Deportivo Saprissa has won three CONCACAF Champions Cup titles (1993, 1995 and 2005) and won their 30th league title in May to become the most successful club in the history of the Costa Rican Primera Division. Real Esteli, the defending Clausura and Apertura champions in their domestic league, are the only Nicaraguan side to have participated in the competition and have qualified every year since the 2008-09 edition.

Sporting KC news & Notes (continued) Paying the penalty

Sporting KC has conceded seven penalty kicks through 30 matches this year, tied for most in the club’s single-season history. This follows a Leaguewide trend, as referees have pointed to the spot at an increased rate in 2014. As of Oct. 1, 124 penalty kicks have been awarded through 283 games (0.44 per game). The whole 2013 regular season had 81 penalties (0.25 per game), while the 2012 campaign had 72 penalties (0.22 per game).

Spot on for Sporting KC

Dom Dwyer’s six consecutive penalty kick conversions in 2014 continues a recent trend for the MLS champions from the penalty spot. The club has now scored on 13 straight attempts dating back to 2012 -- the longest active streak in MLS -- and has proven successful on 26 of their last 27 penalty kicks dating back to 2007. The club also secured the 2012 U.S. Open Cup and 2013 MLS Cup in penalty shootout wins.

Sporting Park sellout streak

Sporting Park has sold out 51 straight MLS matches, including four playoff games. Since opening in June 2011, the venue has sold out 64 of 72 MLS games and averaged 19,337 spectators, 104.7 percent of its 18,467 capacity. Through 14 MLS matches of the 2014 home campaign, Sporting Park’s average attendance is 20,129. The stadium’s 109 percent capacity this season ranks first in the League (excluding CenturyLink Field in Seattle, where official capacity is 38,500 but expands to 67,000 for select matches).

Besler and Zusi sign Designated Player contracts with Sporting KC

Sporting KC signed defender Matt Besler and midfielder Graham Zusi to long-term Designated Player contracts on July 19. Two members of the club’s 2009 MLS SuperDraft class, Besler and Zusi become the fifth and sixth Designated Players in team history behind teammate Claudio Bieler (2013), Jeferson (2011), Omaro Bravo (2011) and Claudio Lopez (2008). An Overland Park native, Besler became the first player from the state of Kansas to play in a FIFA World Cup when he started all four matches for the United States in Brazil this summer. The 27-year-old centerback debuted for the U.S. in January 2013 and has 21 career international appearances, including all three knockout round games en route to the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup title. Besler was named captain of the reigning MLS Cup champions prior to the 2014 season and was recognized as the Kansas City Sports Commission Sportsman of the Year in April. Besler has made 157 MLS appearances (including postseason) with two goals and seven assists since being drafted by Kansas City in the first round of the 2009 MLS SuperDraft out of Notre Dame. Zusi is also coming off a strong performance at the 2014 FIFA World Cup. He appeared in all four games for head coach Jurgen Klinsmann and contributed assists in back-to-back group stage games against Ghana and Portugal. The 28-year-old has earned 27 career international appearances with three goals and six assists. Taken in the second round of the 2009 MLS SuperDraft as a two-time national champion at the University of Maryland, Zusi has recorded 21 goals and 43 assists in 155 MLS matches (including postseason) over six professional seasons with Sporting KC.
