SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs NEW YORK RED BULLS LIVESTRONG SPORTING PARK, Kansas City, Kan. 3 p.m. CT (TeleFutura; KSMO; MSG) October 15, 2011 (WEEK 31; MLS Game 292) Sporting Kansas City and the New York Red Bulls meet in a real six-pointer in the MLS Cup Playoffs ambitions for both clubs Saturday afternoon at Livestrong Sporting Park. Sporting are sitting in second place in the Eastern Conference and can seal a playoff spot with a victory, but nothing is secured without the full three points. The Red Bulls are gamely hanging on to a tie for ninth place overall and the final two wild card spots – and yet are only four points out of the top spot in the conference with two games to play.

The Red Bulls have won their last three games vs. Kansas City, all by shutout. Sporting have not scored in their last 280 minutes vs. the Red Bulls, since winning the second of a pair of 1-0 decisions in 2009. The last five matches between the teams have all been shutouts. When Kansas City won in 2009 at the Meadowlands, it was the first victory by a road team in the series since 2005. Coaches record: Hans Backe vs. KC: P3 W3 L0 D0 … Peter Vermes v NY: P4 W1 L3 D0 LAST MEETING (MLS) 4/30: NY 1, KC 0 (Rodgers 22) The Red Bulls had a glorious chance to take an early lead in the 13th minute when Dwayne De Rosario was adjudged to have been held back in the area by Sporting midfielder Stephane Auvray by referee Andrew Chapin. But SKC goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen dove to his left to parry Rafael Márquez’s attempt. But the Red Bulls made no mistake in the 22nd minute. Thierry Henry flicked a quickly taken free kick into the path of De Rosario on the right flank. The Canadian international struck a low cross into the 6-yard box, where Luke Rodgers turned it past Nielsen.

MLS GAME INFORMATION
SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City went back out on the road and came away with a vital point, reaching a 1-1 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes on Oct. 1 at Buck Shaw Stadium. Sporting have 45 points from 32 matches on the season, now in second place in the Eastern Conference. LAST MATCH The game's goals came 50 seconds apart deep into the match. In the 85th minute, Steven Beitashour sent in a long cross from well out on the right and Chris Wondolowski ran onto it at the far post, burying a left-footed volley. But almost from the kickoff, Sporting responded. C.J. Sapong sent a through ball in behind a pulled-up Quakes defense and Teal Bunbury ran onto it, hammering a low shot past San Jose goalkeeper Jon Busch. Sporting manager Peter Vermes made two changes to the team that got a late winner in a 2-1 win against the Columbus Crew at Livestrong Sporting Park. Jeferson and Teal Bunbury came into the side, in place of Graham Zusi and C.J. Sapong. SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-2-3-1): Jimmy Nielsen - Chance Myers, Aurelien Collin, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic - Davy Arnaud, Julio Cesar - Kei Kamara (C.J. Sapong 72), Jeferson (Graham Zusi 87), Omar Bravo (Peterson Joseph 82) - Teal Bunbury TEAM NEWS With the draw in San Jose, and Philadelphia Union’s win in Seattle while Sporting had the following weekend off, SKC is now in second place in the Eastern Conference. “Our first thought wasn’t ‘Oh, let’s put our heads down. The game is over,’” Teal Bunbury said. “We picked ourselves up, and we went right at them immediately. We kicked it off, C.J. did his magic and I knew that I had to take off, make a good run in behind and finish it.” But the formula for Sporting to clinch a place in the MLS Cup Playoffs is a simple one: Win, and they’re in. A draw or a loss, and it will likely come down to the season finale at D.C. United. “It was tremendous,” SKC manager Peter Vermes said. “The reaction was huge. To come back right away and score a goal, especially away from home, was big time. We’ve been on the end of that a couple times this year.” Sporting have scored seven goals in the final 15 minutes of contests, ahead of just Chicago (6), San Jose (5) and Portland (4). By contrast, they’ve allowed 12 goals in the final quarter-hour; the league leader is New England, with 14. "We would like to have won,” Vermes said, “but sometimes you have to battle and scrape and scrap the way we did in the first half. The bottom line is that the game is 90 minutes plus injury time. The guys did a really good job of staying in the game and realizing that it wasn’t over until the end.” Davy Arnaud became the club’s all-time appearance leader with his start in San Jose, making his 238th regular season appearance, surpassing the total of current assistant coach Kerry Zavagnin. He made his MLS debut July 31, 2002. Midfielder Roger Espinoza missed a second consecutive match, still hampered by a quadriceps strain. “When it comes to muscle strains, I’m just not going to put a guy in harm’s way. We’ve got to make sure he’s 100 percent before he gets back out on the field,” Vermes said. Kei Kamara was called into Sierra Leone’s national team for their African Cup of Nations qualifier against South Africa. On Wednesday, Sporting KC and Chivas de Guadalajara played to a 2-2 draw in a friendly at Livestrong Sporting Park. Marco Fabian put Chivas into a first-half lead, but goals from Soony Saad (75) and Kevin Ellis (86) gave SKC a late lead, before Erick Torres hit for an 88th-minute equalizer. Here’s the Sporting team: Eric Kronberg; Seth Sinovic (Korede Aiyegbusi 46), Lawrence Olum, Aurelien Collin, Chance Myers (Michael Harrington 46); Davy Arnaud (Kevin Ellis 61), Graham Zusi (Birahim Diop 46), Jeferson (Scott Lorenz 87); Omar Bravo (Milos Stojcev 53), C.J. Sapong (Soony Saad 46), Kei Kamara (Craig Rocastle 46) Sporting Kansas City designated player Omar Bravo played 53 minutes against his former team. Bravo played a total of 10 seasons with CD Guadalajara and ranks second on the club’s all-time goalscoring charts. “I have adapted to the play of the league. I’m comfortable with it and I understand what I have to do for the team. It’s not a matter of level of play. It’s more physical and it’s more direct,” said Bravo. “Our team is capable of playing this way, we have a good game plan. … I was elated when coach told me to play (my current) position. For many years at Chivas I played like that. I feel comfortable there.”
MLS GAME INFORMATION
NEW YORK RED BULLS The New York Red Bulls won for a second time in three games, knocking off the LA Galaxy 2-0 on Tuesday evening at Red Bull Arena. The Red Bulls have 43 points from 32 games, in a tie for fourth place in the Eastern Conference. LAST MATCH The Red Bulls took the lead in the 32nd minute. Jan Gunnar Solli rose above Galaxy defender Frankie Hejduk on Joel Lindpere’s corner kick and snapped a header off the gloves of Galaxy goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts, and Luke Rodgers promptly finished off the rebound. Thierry Henry then sealed the match on the hour mark, finishing off a breakaway with a shot that gently caromed off the back post and into the goal after Ricketts couldn’t close off the angle. Red Bulls head coach Hans Backe made no changes to the team that got a late goal for a 1-1 draw with Toronto FC at BMO Field. NEW YORK RED BULLS (4-4-2): Frank Rost - Jan Gunnar Solli, Tim Ream, Stephen Keel, Roy Miller - Dane Richards (Mehdi Ballouchy 93+), Teemu Tainio, Rafael Marquez (Dax McCarty 82), Joel Lindpere - Luke Rodgers, Thierry Henry. TEAM NEWS After going eight games without a victory from July 9-Sept. 10, the Red Bulls have won three of their last five games, all by shutout. “Over 90 minutes, this has probably been the best, well-balanced game from us,” said Red Bulls head coach Hans Backe. “I can’t really remember our first seven games where we played really well before the Gold Cup. I think we only conceded two goals since seven games and picked up a number of wins, but from the Gold Cup and now, this was definitely the most balanced game.” The win kept the Red Bulls tied for ninth place overall and holding down the final wild card spot, with two games remaining to be played. They conclude the season with a trip to Philadelphia. “This win (against LA), it has definitely set us up with great possibility to play head-to-head with Kansas City and Philadelphia. But if we lose these games, we can be out of the playoffs,” said Backe. “With the way we performed today, it reminds me a little bit of the beginning of the season. Not giving away anything and the willingness to defend with hard work. If we are in the playoffs, I think we would definitely be a threat.” The Red Bulls had five defensive shutouts in their first seven games of the season. The blanking of the Galaxy was their fifth shutout since that stretch, a period of 23 games. “Obviously you want a clean sheet no matter who you play. During the game you don’t really think about it, it’s not really more significant than getting a clean sheet with Dallas or getting any clean sheet this year,” said defender Tim Ream. “Obviously they have great players and they could do some good things and they have a powerful offense. Even if we were playing Toronto, you got to shut out who you play and we would be happy, especially at this point in the season.” In five games since returning to the Red Bulls starting lineup, Luke Rodgers has scored three goals. Thierry Henry has scored in back-to-back games, now tied for the league lead with 14 goals for the season, along with Dwayne Rosario of D.C. United and Chris Wondolowski of San Jose. “I thought we had [balance] at the beginning of the season, somehow it went away,” said Henry. “Hopefully it’s not too late. It’s coming back. It’s a vital three points. It was vital to win the game in hand that we had, so that’s done.” With a victory in Kansas City, and a Houston victory on Friday and a Chicago win vs. D.C. United on Saturday, the Red Bulls will be on the verge of playoff qualification with a home game vs. Philadelphia remaining. “We all knew it was a must-win game. It’s funny because when we must win, we win, so I think every game is a must-win game and now we have the last two of the season,” said Henry. “There is no reason why we can’t win them both and finish on top of the (East).”

Sporting Kansas City Game Notes | October 15, 2011 vs New York Red Bulls | www.SportingKC.com
SPORTING KANSAS CITY HEADLINES PLAYOFF BERTH AT STAKE | Sporting Kansas City sit in second place in the Eastern Conference, two points back of the first place Philadelphia Union, with two games remaining in the 2011 MLS regular season. Sporting Kansas City can clinch a berth in the postseason with a victory over the New York Red Bulls on Saturday. Should the Houston Dynamo lose or draw in their match at Portland on Friday, a Sporting Kansas City win would assure the club of finishing in the top three in the Eastern Conference. The club’s climb up the table came courtesy of a 14-game unbeaten run that stretched from May to August. The unbeaten streak matched the longest run in MLS this season and equalled the 3rd longest in MLS history. Sporting Kansas City’s last appearance in the postseason came during the 2008 season, when they were eliminated by the Columbus Crew. PLAYOFF FORMAT | The top three finishers in each conference, based on regular season points will receive each of the six automatic berths available. The next best four clubs based on regular season points, irrespective of conference, will occupy the four wild card spots. The four wild cards will play single-elimination games against each other, with higher seeds hosting (1 vs. 4; 2 vs. 3). After the two play-in games conclude, the lowest remaining seed will face the Supporters’ Shield winner in the Conference Semifinals; the other remaining wild card will face the No. 1 seed in the opposite conference from the Supporters’ Shield winner. The LA Galaxy, Seattle Sounders, Real Salt Lake and FC Dallas are the first four teams to earn spots in the 2011 MLS Cup Playoffs.
ARNAUD SETS CLUB MARK | Sporting Kansas City captain Davy Arnaud took over the top spot on the club’s all-time chart for games played with his 238th regular season appearance in Sporting Kansas City’s last match, a 1-1 draw at the San Jose Earthquakes on October 1st. Arnaud broke a tie with current assistant coach Kerry Zavagnin and the match also marked the 250th of his career when including postseason. Arnaud is only the third player in Sporting Kansas City history to play more than 20,000 minutes in a KC uniform, along with Nick Garcia and Zavagnin.
NOTEWORTHY MILESTONES -- Sporting Kansas City defender Shavar Thomas is 29 minutes shy of surpassing 7,500 regular season minutes played in his Sporting KC career, third most among all current Sporting KC players. -- Sporting Kansas City midfielder Roger Espinoza is 47 minutes shy of surpassing 6,000 minutes played, including postseason, in his KC and MLS career, fourth most among all current Sporting KC players. -- Kei Kamara is tied with Mark Chung for 8th most goals scored (20) on Sporting KC’s all-time goal scoring chart. -- Sporting Kansas City’s 47 goals scored this season, tied for third most in MLS, is the most for the club since the 2005 season (52). -- Sporting Kansas city’s 437 shots this season, tied for second most in MLS, is the most for the club since the 2000 season (452). -- Sporting Kansas City’s 11 wins this season is the most for the club since the 2004 season (14). -- Sporting Kansas City’s 12 draws in 2011 is tied for most in singleseason history, along with the 2005 MLS season. -- Sporting KC captain Davy Arnaud is tied with Josh Wolff for 2nd on KC’s all-time goals scored chart with 43. His next goal will move him into sole possession behind Preki (71).

The Red Bulls make their first ever appearance at the brand new home of Sporting Kansas City, LIVESTRONG Sporting Park, on Saturday in a crucial game with playoff implications. New York currently owns the third out of four MLS Cup Playoffs wild card spots, with a record of 9-7-16 and 43 points thanks to a 2-0 victory over the Los Angeles Galaxy in its last game on Oct. 4. Sporting KC is currently in second in the East with a record of 11-9-12, and is just two points ahead of the Red Bulls. Back on April 30 at Red Bull Arena, New York defeated Sporting 1-0.
RED BULLS VS. SPORTING KANSAS CITY – OCTOBER 15, 2011 – 4:00 PM ET
BULLETIN BOARD RED BULLS VISIT SPORTING KANSAS CITY SATURDAY WITH PLAYOFFS IN PICTURE The Red Bulls’ quest for the MLS Cup Playoffs continues this weekend when they play their first ever game at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park against host Sporting Kansas City on Saturday (Kickoff 4:00 PM ET; TV: MSG – Pre-Game Starts at 3:30 PM, TeleFutura; Radio: WADO 1280 AM). The Red Bulls enter the week in fourth place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 9-7-16, 43 points. They earned their ninth win of the campaign on Tuesday, Oct. 4, shutting out the 2011 MLS Supporters’ Shield winner, the Los Angeles Galaxy, 2-0 in front of a sold out crowd at Red Bull Arena. New York is just four points behind the Philadelphia Union, who own the top spot in the East. The Red Bulls currently have the third of four MLS Cup Playoffs wild card spots as they hold the tiebreaker over the Houston Dynamo. (See note below for full, updated MLS Cup Playoffs standings) Sporting Kansas City is looking to clinch a postseason spot, and a victory against New York would do so for the hosts. Sporting KC currently owns the number two spot in the Eastern Conference and is just two points behind the Union for first place, with a record of 11-9-12, 45 points. The team is unbeaten in its last three contests and is coming off a 1-1 tie on Oct. 1 at San Jose. One of the top offenses in the league this season, Sporting Kansas City boasts the attacking trio of Kei Kamara, Omar Bravo and Teal Bunbury, who have combined for 26 goals this season. Sporting owns an impressive 8-2-6 home record this season. Back on April 30, the Red Bulls defeated Sporting Kansas City at Red Bull Arena, 1-0, in a tightly contested match. The lone goal of the match came in the 22nd minute off the foot of Luke Rodgers. New York owns a slight edge in the all-time series between the two sides, with a record of 17-16-9. RED BULLS-SPORTING KANSAS CITY CONNECTIONS Red Bulls midfielder Stephane Auvray was a member of Sporting Kansas City from 2010 until he was dealt to New York on Aug. 12 of this season for the Red Bulls’ natural second round 2013 MLS SuperDraft choice. Auvray made 27 appearances during his Kansas City career, starting 24 games and producing one assist. The Guadeloupe International has played in five games with New York, including one start. New York defender Mike Jones was selected by Sporting Kansas City 28th overall in the 2011 MLS Supplemental Draft. He did not appear for the club before being waived on May 5. Sporting Kansas City midfielder Luke Sassano began his professional career with the Red Bulls in 2008 and was a member of the team for three seasons. He played in 38 games with New York, earning 25 starts. In 2008, he started and played in all four postseason matches as the team advanced to the MLS Cup Final. HENRY, RODGERS SCORE AS RED BULLS EARN 2-0 SHUTOUT VICTORY OVER GALAXY Goals from Luke Rodgers and Thierry Henry propelled the New York Red Bulls to a 2-0 victory on Oct. 4 over Western Conference leader, the Los Angeles Galaxy, at a sold-out Red Bull Arena. Goalkeeper Frank Rost made five saves en route to his fourth shutout of the season, as the Red Bulls improved to 9-7-16, 43 points on the season and won their third game in five tries. The teams spent most of the first portion of the game measuring each other up and trading possession and both sides had a good opportunity to open the scoring. In the 27th minute, Galaxy midfielder Paolo Cardozo found Todd Dunivant on the left flank, and the former Red Bull sent a well-played cross into the box and to the foot of Chad Barrett. However,
Barrett’s attempt from close range sailed just high. Two minutes later, Henry controlled a lofted pass from Teemu Tainio, but his shot from the corner of the six-yard box was blocked by defender Omar Gonzalez. New York took the lead off a set piece in the 32nd minute. The Red Bulls earned a corner kick taken by Joel Lindpere. His in-swinger was met by Jan Gunnar Solli, who headed the ball on target. Goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts was able to keep the Solli’s attempt out, but Rodgers was first the loose ball and volleyed it in from close range. Six minutes later, only the post could keep Rodgers from doubling the Red Bulls’ lead. Lindpere intercepted a David Beckham pass and came down the left flank. He centered the ball to Henry near the six yard box, who quickly tapped it to Rodgers. The Englishman’s low shot beat Ricketts, but the ball ricocheted off the left post. In the 59th minute, Henry gave the Red Bulls a two-goal advantage with his 14th goal of the season. Tainio touched a pass to Rafa Marquez, who looked up and picked out an on-rushing Henry. As Henry dribbled in towards goal, Ricketts left his line. The French forward calmly chipped the ball over Ricketts and the ball bounded off the left post and in. The goal tied Henry with D.C. United’s Dwayne De Rosario atop the league’s Golden Boot race. A turnover in the 81st minute from Beckham nearly proved costly for the visitors, as Henry almost had his second goal of the night. Beckham received a pass in his own half and tried to deke around Henry, who had charged at the Galaxy captain. Henry stole the ball and was alone in on Ricketts, but his shot from the left side of the box clanged off the far post and stayed out. CURRENT MLS CUP PLAYOFFS PICTURE (As of Oct. 10) In the MLS Cup Playoffs wild card standings, the Red Bulls hold the third wild card spot as they are tied on 43 points with the Houston Dynamo but are ahead on goal differential (the teams played to two ties in the regular season, with head-to-head being the first playoffs tiebreaker).
