COLUMBUS CREW vs SPORTING KANSAS CITY COLUMBUS CREW STADIUM, Columbus, Ohio Oct. 4, 2013 (WEEK 32, MLS Game #292) 7:30 p.m. ET (FS-OH; KSMO) The Columbus Crew will be looking to keep their hot streak going in their climb up the Eastern Conference against a Sporting Kansas City aiming to reclaim the top spot when the clubs meet Saturday evening at Crew Stadium. The Crew have won three games in a row and are now just a point outside the top five after their 4-2 victory at FC Dallas last weekend. Sporting saw their two-game winning run come to an end in a 1-0 home loss to Philadelphia last week, now four points behind MLS overall leader New York in the division standings.

Kei Kamara’s second goal of the game, in the 80th minute, gave KC a 3-2 victory June 29; Claudio Bieler. Soony Saad and C.J. Sapong scored in a 3-0 Sporting victory on Sept. 7.  Sporting have won the last two meetings, after the Crew won the final two encounters in 2012. The teams have evenly split their last eight meetings, since the 2010 season.  Coaches record: Peter Vermes vs. CLB: P9 W5 L3 T1 … Brian Bliss vs. KC: P1 W0 L1 T0 LAST MEETING (MLS)  Sporting had the lead after just the seventh minute. SKC's Benny Feilhaber made a run into the area and was tripped up by Wil Trapp, and referee Jose Carlos Rivero wasted no time before pointing to the spot. Claudio Bieler buried the resulting spot kick just inside the right post.  In the 41st minute, it was Bieler's turn to provide the setup. He played the ball wide to Soony Saad on the left side of the penalty area, and Saad rounded a defender before putting his shot inside the far post.  C.J. Sapong put the exclamation point on the victory in the 55th minute when he rose up over Crew defender Tyson Wahl near the penalty spot and headed home Oriol Rosell's long diagonal ball.  KC goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen stopped Jairo Arrieta's shot the 78th minute for his only save of the night.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Jimmy Nielsen - Josh Gardner, Ike Opara, Aurelien Collin, Seth Sinovic Oriol Rosell - Paulo Nagamura, Benny Feilhaber (Jimmy Medranda 90) - C.J.

COLUMBUS CREW The Columbus Crew made it three wins in a row, going to FC Dallas and coming away with a 4-2 victory on Sunday evening at Toyota Stadium. The Crew are in a tie for fifth place in the Eastern Conference with 41 points from 31 matches.

MLS GAME INFORMATION

LAST MATCH  The Crew took the lead in the ninth minute through some strange fortune. Put in alone on FCD goalkeeper Raúl Fernández behind the home defense, Federico Higuain rounded the 'keeper, only to see George John clear the ball. But the clearance was sent straight back at Higuain, where it caromed into the net.  Eight minutes later, the Crew doubled the lead when Dominic Oduro blazed forward out of midfield up the right flank before finding Jairo Arrieta open in the area for an emphatic finish off the underside of the crossbar.  The home side pulled a goal back three minutes later. Mauro Diaz was fouled just inside the halfway line but quickly popped up and hit a perfect through ball to Blas Pérez, who buried a low shot in the far corner after going in alone on Columbus 'keeper Matt Lampson.  The Crew restored the two-goal margin just before halftime. Dominic Oduro capped a fine individual effort where he won a 50-50 ball and got free in the penalty area before placing his shot past Fernández.  FCD again narrowed the deficit in the 54th minute when fullback Zach Loyd carried the ball up the left flank and centered to Diaz just outside of the Crew area. Diaz then beat several Columbus defenders on the dribble and pirouetted around Lampson before tapping in.  But the game was put out of reach in the 86th minute when Bernardo Anor controlled a chipped pass from Higuaín and slammed it home from inside the penalty area.  Crew interim head coach Brian Bliss kept the same team for a third consecutive match, maintaining the group that rolled to a 3-0 win against the Chicago Fire at Crew Stadium.  COLUMBUS CREW (4-4-1-1): Matt Lampson - Chad Barson (Josh Williams 75), Tyson Wahl, Chad Marshall, Agustin Viana - Dominic Oduro (Ethan Finlay 56), Wil Trapp, Tony Tchani, Bernardo Anor - Federico Higuain Jairo Arrieta (Ryan Finley 79). TEAM NEWS  The Crew extended their winning streak to a season-high three games in the defeat of FC Dallas. The win also left the Crew a point outside the top five in the Eastern Conference; they haven’t been in a playoff position since mid-May.  “The ball's in our court a little bit. We're putting some pressure on the teams ahead of us,” Crew interim head coach Brian Bliss said. “Our guys feel good about our game, they feel good about each other, they feel good about themselves individually. We've just got to carry this momentum and keep going.”  Since taking over as interim head coach, Bliss has seen his charges post a 4-1-0 record; the Crew have scored 11 goals in five games since Bliss took over.  “Two if not three of those goals were textbook in terms of what we've been thinking about and how we've been training. It's a little bit of high-risk, high-reward kind of play,” Bliss said. “ … It's predicated on defending wherever the ball is. That wouldn't change whether it was game 10 or 28. Maybe from first minute to last minute, the tempo we're playing at would be difficult to continue over a 34-game stretch. In terms of what we expect from the guys in their certain positions, nothing would change.”  Dominic Oduro scored for a third consecutive match, while Federico Higuaín scored for a second game in a row. Oduro has 12 goals and Higuaín has 11; the Crew are one of two teams with two players with 10 goals or more (also Philadelphia).  “We keep talking about our ability to run and run for each other. When guys are running and making themselves available, the guy on the ball has multiple options that may lead to a goal scoring chance,” Bliss said. “That's probably contributed to the fact that we've scored more and guys are showing up on the scoresheet more often. It's a byproduct of it.”  Higuaín also contributed his ninth assist of the season, his third in the last three games after going more than two months without an assist.  “We take pride in our offense. We have great guys, guys who are explosive, me included,” Oduro said. “Most of all I’m happy we came out with the points that we needed. We just want to keep focused and keep the momentum.”  Jairo Arrieta returned to the scoresheet in a league game for the first since June 29, netting his third MLS goal of the year.  Bernardo Anor scored for a second consecutive game, playing as a winger opposite Oduro, and now has four goals this season; his first two goals also came in consecutive games, July 4-7.  “I think both of us kind of fit in the roles pretty well,” Añor said. “We can be isolated one-on-one with a defender and create a chance, be dangerous, and provide the team a good play. If either of us tuck into the middle, it's with the idea of being more creative, having more possession of the ball, and trying to find the tempo of the game.” Said Oduro: “I'm not a natural winger, clearly. I prefer playing forward. But it's something I've got to do for the team. The coaches give me the confidence to come in sometimes and do what I do. I'm adjusting, but so far it's been good for me.”

Sapong. TEAM NEWS  Sporting Kansas City had their three-game winning streak put to an end in the home loss to Philadelphia Union.  “We dominated the game in all aspects. At the end of the day, we had a lot of chances around the goal. We had a lot of looks and a lot of opportunities, but zero goals, which is the biggest thing,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes. “At the end of the day we just need to score. Sometimes a team is going to get a goal on you, but with the number of chances we had, we had to score and that's on the attack today. Our heart was there, and our determination was there, we just weren't clinical around the goal.”  It was also a fourth shutout at the attacking end over the last nine matches. Since July 7, Sporting have scored multiple goals in eight of 12 matches; the other four have been shutouts.  “When you have that many chances, you have that much of the game, you have that much pressure on the other team, you've got to score to open up the game,” Vermes said. “We put too much pressure on ourselves defensively by not scoring earlier. And their goalkeeper came up with some big saves, so credit to him as well.”  It was their fifth loss this season at Sporting Park, tied for third-most home losses in the league.  “If you look at our road record, why is it so good? Why is it one of the best in the league? It's a simple equation,” Vermes said. “The other teams are playing at home. They have to play. Because if they don't, their fans are going to boo them. So we go to play at those places, and we do, and when those teams want to play, I'll stack us up against anybody.  Ike Opara played center back alongside Aurelien Collin for a third consecutive match. U.S. international Matt Besler has not played for the club in a league game since Aug. 31.  After missing the Toronto FC match with a hamstring injury, Claudio Bieler was able to return to duty, coming on for the final 24 minutes in place of Dom Dwyer.  Following a one-match absence, Oriol Rosell returned to the starting lineup. But he will be miss the Columbus match, unavailable due to yellow card accumulation.

GAME 32: COLUMBUS CREW VS. SPORTING KANSAS CITY

MISCELLANEOUS TEAM NOTES MATCH RECAP -- GAME 31 CREW WINS 3RD STRAIGHT WITH 4-2 ROAD VICTORY OVER FC DALLAS The Crew defeated FC Dallas 4-2 on September 29 at Toyota Stadium. Four different Crew players found the back of the net on Sunday night, with captain Federico Higuain recording his 11th tally of the season to open the scoring in the ninth minute. Jairo Arrieta doubled the Crew’s advantage eight minutes later, taking a cross from Dominic Oduro to give the Black & Gold a two-goal lead in the early going. Blas Perez pulled one back for the home side in the 21st minute, only for Oduro to add his team-leading 12th goal of the campaign just before the stroke of halftime. Dallas’ Mauro Diaz tallied in the 54th minute, and after some strong goalkeeping from Homegrown Player Matt Lampson, Bernardo Anor added a fourth and final Crew goal in the 86th minute to seal the Crew’s victory.

Sporting KC won the first two meetings at Sporting Park in 2013: a 3-2 win on June 29 and a 3-0 win on September 7 ... this is the 49th regularseason meeting in the all-time season series between the two teams dating back to 1996 ... the all-time regular-season series is split across the board as both teams are 21-21-6 against each other, while the Black & Gold do have the advantage in Columbus, posting a 12-9-4 record. LAST MEETING Facing its third MLS match in eight days, the Columbus Crew fell 3-0 to Eastern Conference rival Sporting Kansas City at Sporting Park on September 7 ... Sporting got off to a fast start in the match and never looked back, as Wil Trapp was whistled for a foul inside the Crew’s area in the sixth minute, leading to a Claudio Bieler goal from the penalty spot ... Bieler assisted on a Soony Saad strike in the 41st minute, and C.J. Sapong capped the scoring with a 55th-minute header.

HOW THEY MATCH-UP

SINCE WE LAST PLAYED SPORTING KANSAS CITY Less than a month since the two teams faced each other on September 7 in Kansas City, the Eastern Conference sides battle at Crew Stadium this Saturday ... the 3-0 win for Sporting KC actually jump-started the Crew’s offense after the shutout defeat, sparking a three-match winning streak with nine goals in the three contests since ... after two road tilts at Sporting Park, the Crew returns home for the regular-season series finale having suffered a pair of difficult losses to Sporting earlier this year. A JUMP IN THE STANDINGS AND KEEPING AN EYE ON THE REST Sunday night’s win over FC Dallas -- combined with draws by Chicago and New England -- allowed the Black & Gold to move up in the standings as they grabbed three crucial points on the road ... entering the weekend slate of action -- beginning with Chicago hosting D.C. United on Friday -- the Crew sits just one point behind Philadelphia in the fifth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference standings ... Chicago is one point behind the Crew in eighth place while New Enlgand (tied on points with Columbus but with one fewer win) sits in seventh ... a look at the schedule for the Crew and teams ahead of the Black & Gold (standings headed into this weekend) is below: Chicago (8th place, 40 points, 30 games played, 4 remaining games) DRAW (2-2) vs. Montreal on Sept. 28 (at time: 3rd place, 45 points, 28 games played) vs. D.C.

GAME 32: COLUMBUS CREW VS. SPORTING KANSAS CITY A MASSIVE MILESTONE FOR MARSHALL Chad Marshall made Crew history last Sunday in the 4-2 win at FC Dallas, securing his 250th career regular-season appearance, all with the Black & Gold ... the defender became the club’s first player to reach the 250-appearance milestone in the regular season ... Marshall, who also leads the club’s regular-season lists for all-time starts (247) and minutes played (21,950), made his first career appearance on April 17, 2004 in a start at Kansas City ... earlier this season, Marshall became the first Crew player to log 20,000 minutes for the Crew. DOM AND PIPA TAKE THEIR BEST SHOT ... Dominic Oduro and Federico may be battling for the team lead in goals, but both players seem to be okay sharing the team lead for shots (83) ... both players are currently tied for fourth in the club’s all-time single-season record book and both are the first players since Dante Washington in 2000 (80 shots) to record 80 or more shots in a single season ... with three games remaining, the duo may not remain tied forever, but Oduro and Higuain trail Robert Warzcyha (92 shots, 1997) and Stern John’s back-toback 100-shot performances of 116 in 1998 and 104 in 1999. ... AND IT’S RARE TO SEE TWO WITH THIS MANY SHOTS Dominic Oduro and Federico Higuain each have recorded 83 shots to share the Crew lead, with Oduro just a single goal (12) ahead of the Designated Player (11) ... Higuain and Oduro are tied for sixth in MLS this season for the most shots by a single player as Chicago’s Mike Magee enters the week on top of MLS (102 shots) ... the Crew is the only team in the League this year to currently have two players in the top 10 list of shots taken in 2013, an elite group that features players with 80 or more shots recorded on the campaign. PIPA APPROACHING A CREW CORNER KICK RECORD Federico Higuain played 13 games in 2012, and led the Crew in corner kicks taken with 38 ... in his first full season in 2013, through 28 games, Higuain again leads the team, but has recorded 114 corner kicks, currently second in MLS, four behind Sporting KC’s Graham Zusi (118 corner kicks, 24 games played) ... Higuain has recorded at least five corner kicks in each of the three games he’s played since returning to the lineup following a three-match absence, keeping him on pace to potentially break the Crew’s single-season record for corner kicks ... Guillermo Barros Schelotto took 127 in 2010 for the record ... in a tie for second place is 126 corners for Robert Warzycha (2000) and Schelotto (2008), leaving Higuain currently in the fourth spot, needing 4.67 corners per game in the three remaining tilts in 2013 to secure 128 corners and the record. DOM AND PIPA ON A SERIOUS STREAK In the last three games, Federico Higuain and Dominic Oduro have each compiled some serious scoring production, giving the two a trio of games in which they’ve recorded a goal or an assist ... Oduro has scored in the last three matches and added an assist, while Higuain has two goals and three assists in the same stretch of contests ... Oduro and Higuain represent the Black & Gold as the only team in MLS currently with two players on an active streak of a goal or an assist in three or more consecutive matches. DOM ALREADY TIED A CAREER BEST, WILL HE TOP HIS OWN RECORD? Dominic Oduro tied his career best of 12 tallies in a season with his first-half strike at FC Dallas on Sunday night ... his 12-goal campaign with Chicago in 2011, coupled with the 12 finishes in 2013 with the Crew, gives the Ghanaian two years of 12+ goals in a campaign over the last three seasons (Oduro scored six times for Chicago in 2012) ... should Oduro find another goal in one of the remaining three regular-season matches, he would not only set a career-high mark, but he would also become the first Crew player since Andres Mendoza in 2011 to record 13 goals in a season for the Black & Gold. ANOTHER GAME-WINNING GOAL FOR ODURO Three consecutive wins, three consecutive game-winning goals for Dominic Oduro ... Oduro’s recent impactful scoring has given the 28-year-old a total of five game-winning goals in 2013, becoming the sixth player in club history to accomplish that feat ... his mark sits one behind Stern John (6 in 1998) ... in 2012, five players shared the club lead with two game-winning goals each. ANOTHER FOR ANOR With his goal in the 86th minute to complete the Black & Gold’s scoring on Sunday against FC Dallas, Bernardo Anor now finds himself with four goals this year and goals in back-to-back matches ... more impressively, Anor’s career-high four goals this season puts him third on the club’s list of scoring leaders in 2013 ... he’ll have plenty of scoring to do if he wants to catch Dominic Oduro (12 goals) or Federico Higuain (11 goals), but the third-year player has made a career-high 17 appearances (16 starts) in the midfield this year, earning a healthy amount of minutes in place of the injured Eddie Gaven.

A SEPTEMBER TO REMEMBER It was a whirlwind first month for Interim Head Coach Brian Bliss, taking over on September 2 before coaching his first match two days later in the 2-0 win over Houston on September 4 at Crew Stadium ... the winds of change brought the Crew success in September as the team registered 11 goals and 11 assists, marking the first time since 1998 that the team had posted 10 or more goals or 10 or more assists in the month of September ... the victories last month also marked the first four-win September for the Crew since 2004 ... last October, the Crew went 1-1-1 and just missed the 2012 postseason, falling a point behind Houston for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. ANOTHER DEFENSIVE PERFORMANCE Certainly the Crew would have had a tough time securing four wins in five matches without a stretch of strong defensive performances ... over the last five matches, the club has recorded two shutouts and allowed a single goal to the then-Eastern Conference-leading Montreal Impact ... the club’s only loss in that stretch allowed three goals to Sporting KC on September 7 ... despite that three-goal match, the Black & Gold backline has allowed an average of just 1.2 goals per game under Interim Head Coach Brian Bliss. ANOTHER CHANCE FROM THE SPOT IN THE CARDS FOR PIPA? He’s already set a club record for most penalty kick goals in a single season (6) this year, but Federico Higuain is making his way up the League’s all-time record book for goals from the spot ... his six goals are already tied with elite company, including Jaime Moreno (D.C. United, 2009) and Amado Guevara (New York, 2004) for fourth on the single-season list ... Moreno holds the lead for his nine penalty goals with D.C. in 2005, followed by a tie for second between Preki (7, Kansas City, 1996) and Carlos Ruiz (7, LA, 2003). SEEING DOUBLE (DIGITS) Dominic Oduro added his 12th goal of the season against FC Dallas while Federico Higuain added to his totals with his 11th in Frisco ... the duo remains the first pair of Crew players since Brian McBride (12) and Edson Buddle (10) in 2003 to score 10 or more goals in a single season. THE BRIAN BLISS COACHING FILE -- AND HIS TIES TO KANSAS CITY Bliss began his coaching career in 1999, returning to Kansas City in 2000 as an Assistant Coach ... Bliss helped the Wizards capture the 2000 MLS Supporters’ Shield and MLS Cup, along with the 2004 U.S. Open Cup ... he has served as an Interim Head Coach before, filling the role in Kansas City in July of 2006, securing points from 10 of the club’s remaining 14 matches during that campaign ... Bliss joined the Crew in 2008 during the Black & Gold’s Supporters’ Shield and MLS Cup-winning campaign ... since then he has overseen all player personnel matters, player assessment and domestic and international scouting ... Bliss was instrumental in last year’s midseason signing of 2012 MLS Newcomer of the Year and the Crew’s second-ever Designated Player, Federico Higuain ... Bliss has also served as an Assistant Coach on the United States Under-20 squad since January 2012, and most recently was with the club during the team’s group stage appearance at the 2013 FIFA Under-20 World Cup in Turkey alongside frequent U-20 captain and Crew Homegrown Player Wil Trapp.

BY THE NUMBERS 1 With his assist in the 4-2 victory over FC Dallas, Federico Higuain now has a clubleading nine assists in 2013. With 11 goals already in his clip, Higuain is one assist shy of becoming the second player in Crew history to record 10 or more goals and 10 or more assists in a single season. If he’s able to record a helper in one of the final three matches of 2013, he’d become the first player in 12 seasons to do so as Jeff Cunningham posted 10 goals and 13 assists in 2001.

3&3 The Crew has put together its first three-game winning streak of 2013 and has found plenty of scoring in the current stretch. The Black & Gold averaged three goals per game in that trio of wins, marking the first time since 2008 that the club posted a threegame winning streak while averaging three tallies per game in that span. In 2008, from August 23 to September 6, the Crew secured victories of 3-0, 2-1 and 4-0 while this year’s edition featured wins of 2-1, 3-0 and 4-2 from September 14 through September 29.

5, 2, 3 Dominic Oduro’s five game-winning goals in 2013 is currently in a seven-way tie for second-most in MLS this season behind Chris Wondolowski’s six game-winners. Oduro’s last three matches featured game-winning goals for the Crew as he recorded his second three-goal month of 2013 following a trio of goals in the month of April.
