SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES vs SPORTING KANSAS CITY AVAYA STADIUM, San Jose, Calif. October 16, 2015 (WEEK 33, MLS Game #323) 8 p.m. PT (UniMás) A critical match in the Western Conference playoff picture is ahead on Viernes de Fútbol as the San Jose Earthquakes entertain Sporting Kansas City at Avaya Stadium. The Quakes enter the game sitting right on the red line, tied for sixth in the conference after their 1-1 home draw with Vancouver in their last match. Sporting are four points further ahead, in position to seal their place in the Audi 2015 MLS Cup Playoffs with a victory, coming off a 1-0 win at the Portland Timbers in their last match.

Cordell Cato and Chris Wondolowski each scored a pair of goals as the Quakes took a stunning 5-0 victory Aug. 19 at Sporting Park. The first meeting victory for San Jose was the first win for the road team in the series since 2004, when San Jose won at Arrowhead Stadium. The Quakes victory also snapped an eight-game home winning streak for Sporting vs. the Quakes. Kansas City has not won in San Jose since Aug. 16, 2000. The Quakes have won nine of the 14 meetings since in northern California, with five draws. Coaches record: Dominic Kinnear vs. KC: P27 W10 L7 D10 … Peter Vermes vs. SJ: P9 W4 L4 D1 LAST MEETING (MLS) 8/19: KC 0, SJ 5 (Cato 3, 58; Wondolowski 17, 61; Godoy 27) The Quakes took the lead less than three minutes into the match when Shea Salinas drove into the penalty area to the left of the goal, then cut the ball back to Cordell Cato for an easy finish past SKC goalkeeper Tim Melia from the center of the box. The lead was doubled in the 16th minute when a push from KC fullback Chance Myers sent Quincy Amarikwa to the pitch in the middle of the area, and referee Jair Marrufo pointed straight to the spot. Chris Wondolowski put the resulting penalty coolly inside the right post. Then it was 3-0 in the 27th when Anibal Godoy took a pretty backheel up the middle from Amarikwa, raced into the area, cut back to his left to shed a defender and buried his shot from just right of the penalty spot. The Quakes fourth goal, in the 58th minute, was a near-repeat of the first: a deep drive from Salinas, the cross to the middle, the ball driven home from just a few yards out by Cato. Three minutes later the score was 5-0. Fatai Alashe sent in a diagonal ball from the right side, and Wondolowski dove in front of a defender to spear a long header just past an outstretched foot and into the goal. Sporting finished the game a man down when midfielder Benny Feilhaber was shown a straight red card in the 75th minute after pulling down Quincy Amarikwa as the last man outside the penalty area.

MLS GAME INFORMATION
SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES The San Jose Earthquakes weren’t able to build on their first victory in five games, reaching a 1-1 draw with Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Oct. 3 at Avaya Stadium. The Quakes are in a tie for sixth place in the Western Conference with 44 points from 32 matches. LAST MATCH The opening goal came in the 39th minute. A backheel from Mauro Rosales looked to have missed its mark, but the ball bounced off two Quakes defenders and landed at the feet of Cristian Techera. He cut back with his left foot and hit a shot that looped off over leaping Quakes goalkeeper David Bingham. The equalizer came in the 62nd minute. Cordell Cato got free down the right wing and hammered a tightly angled shot on goal. Whitecaps FC goalkeeper David Ousted parried the ball down, but couldn’t grab the rebound on the bounce before Chris Wondolowski swooped in and knocked it high into the open net. Quakes head coach Dominic Kinnear made three changes to the team that defeated Real Salt Lake 1-0 at Avaya Stadium. Clarence Goodson came into the back four and Cordell Cato and JJ Koval started in midfield, replacing Fatai Alashe, Marc Pelosi and the suspended Matias Perez Garcia. SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES (4-4-2): David Bingham - Marvell Wynne (Tommy Thompson 74), Victor Bernardez, Clarence Goodson, Shaun Francis - Cordell Cato, JJ Koval, Anibal Godoy, Shea Salinas - Chris Wondolowski, Quincy Amarikwa. TEAM NEWS The draw with Whitecaps FC was the third in the last five games for the Earthquakes, their home undefeated run now at four games. They have one win over their six contests overall (1-2-3), following a four-game winning run Aug. 14-28. “I don't think we had a particularly great first half. I thought we were kind of fouling, giving them set pieces, putting ourselves under pressure. We weren't passing out of pressure great,” said Quakes head coach Dominic Kinnear. “I thought we were pretty good in the second half. We came out with a better attitude. And I thought we were better on the second balls. We were knocking the ball down, we were running back.” Said goalkeeper David Bingham: “The first half we didn't play our best. We came into the locker room and we knew that. We were able to sort it out in the second half. Obviously they had a lot of set pieces and crosses in the first half. In the second half we were able to limit those. I thought we did a really good job and left it all out on the field.” The Sporting match concludes a run of seven home games in an eight-game stretch for the Quakes. They have won just twice in that span (2-2-3). They have scored exactly one goal in each of their last matches at Avaya Stadium. Chris Wondolowski scored his 16th goal of the season – his seventh goal in the last nine games. Wondolowski now sits in fifth place in the MLS Golden Boot standings – he has had 16 goals or more in four of his last six MLS seasons. “We wanted to get three points and that was our mind frame from the first whistle. I thought we came out with good energy, but kind of in the wrong places. I thought we were a bit jittery at times, giving away silly fouls, silly set pieces and got punished,” said Wondolowski. JJ Koval made his first league start since May 30, coming into a central midfield role and playing the full 90 minutes. Koval had made five substitute appearances totaling 86 minutes in the previous 18 league matches. “We kind of had Anibal [Godoy] and JJ [Koval] sit in there a little bit to fight for second balls, and if we could kind of switch it out there quick, we knew it would be a good idea. So, I thought we did OK,” said Kinnear. “It was a real physical game. It was a bit of a ping-pong match to be honest with you. And it was just a real physical test, so any time we could try and get possession of the ball, we looked wide because that's where the space was.” Cordell Cato returned to the starting lineup after a one-match absence, coming back into a wide midfield role after starting at fullback in his previous appearance (vs. New York City FC).
MLS GAME INFORMATION
SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City put an end to their two-game winless run, getting the game’s only goal for a victory against the Portland Timbers on Oct. 3 at Providence Park. Sporting are in fifth place in the Western Conference with 46 points from 31 matches. LAST MATCH The game's lone goal came in the 83rd minute and was a stellar display of talent. Second-half substitute Krisztian Nemeth received the ball inside midfield and set off on a 50-yard run in which he eluded three Timbers defenders before firing past Timbers goalkeeper Adam Kwarasey and inside the far post for the winner. SKC goalkeeper Tim Melia was credited with six saves in keeping the clean sheet, as the Timbers took 17 attempts at goal. SKC manager Peter Vermes made three changes to the team that came back for a 1-1 draw with Seattle Sounders FC at Sporting Park. Saad Abdul-Salaam and Matt Besler came into the back four for Jalil Anibaba and Erik Palmer-Brown, and Benny Feilhaber started in the midfield in place of Paulo Nagamura. SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Tim Melia - Saad Abdul-Salaam, Kevin Ellis (Erik Palmer-Brown 80), Matt Besler, Amadou Dia - Benny Feilhaber - Jordi Quintilla, Mikey Lopez - Connor Hallisey (Graham Zusi 46), Jacob Peterson (Krisztian Nemeth 73), Bernardo Anor. TEAM NEWS Sporting put an end to a brief two-game winless run in the victory at Portland. It was SKC’s second win in their last nine games, since their last back-to-back wins, Aug. 8-15. “What I really appreciate is that many people would have said it would have been very easy for us to have a letdown after [the U.S. Open Cup Final]. The performance shows a really strong mentality in the group and that’s probably the most important thing that I look at,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes. “When you get into this time of the season you want to make sure you have that going into what’s going to be the toughest time of the season. It’s good to see that our guys have it.” Said defender Matt Besler: “I think anytime you can win on the road you should gain confidence from that but at the same time the next time we come here we aren’t going to take anything for granted. We know it’s going to be tough and we know we’re going to have to work our tails off in order to give ourselves a chance. I just think right now we’re focused on ourselves and trying to get as many points as possible.” Krisztian Nemeth came off the substitutes’ bench for the final 17 minutes, his first appearance in the last two matches, and scored his 10th goal of the season, his first since Sept. 13. “For us it was really about making sure we were going to be able to deal with the danger that they pose in regards to quite a few guys that they have that are weapons,” said Vermes. “I thought we kept our composure. I thought we had good concentration through the game and at the same time we knew there was going to be a point we were able to strike. I didn’t know it was going to be as good as Krisztian [Nemeth] did but that was a fantastic goal.” Graham Zusi collected his fifth assist of the season, his first since gaining two assists in the 4-0 win vs. FC Dallas on May 29. Zusi came off the substitutes’ bench for the second half after missing out on the Seattle match. Tim Melia returned between the posts and recorded his eighth shutout of the league season, his first since the scoreless draw vs. Portland on Sept. 9. Melia has made two starts in the last five league games. “I thought we did such a good job. To come off a midweek final that went into overtime in penalties is really an emotional roller-coaster. To be able to come into a place like [Providence Park], which is a really difficult place to play, to get a result in the fashion that we did and to be able to rest a few guys, it’s an incredible feat for our club,” said Melia. Saad Abdul-Salaam returned to the starting lineup, his first since Sept. 13, playing the full 90 minutes at right back, while Matt Besler also came back into central defense after a one-match absence. “The contribution from all the different guys we had on the field was fantastic. I think to me that’s probably the biggest positive thing going into the end of the season. We’ve given a lot of opportunities to a lot of guys throughout the course of this season due to the number of injuries we’ve had and it’s paying off like we were hoping it would. The experience and guys being able to come in and contribute positively at this time of the year is really important,” Vermes said.

Last MLS Match Earthquakes 1, Vancouver Whitecaps FC 1; Oct. 3, 2015; Avaya Stadium, San Jose, CA The San Jose Earthquakes used a second-half goal from forward Chris Wondolowski to earn a vital point against Vancouver Whitecaps FC in a 1-1 draw at Avaya Stadium on Saturday night. Wondolowski tallied his 20th career goal in the month of October, eight more than any other player in MLS history. In the 21st minute, midfielder Shea Salinas created a chance for San Jose with a strong individual effort. After receiving a pass on the left flank, Salinas took on two defenders before slotting a pass in front of keeper David Ousted. The ball rolled all the way through the box just yards from net, but did not connect with any oncoming attackers. Vancouver took a 1-0 lead in the 39th minute. After a scrum in front of net, a clearance attempt by Quakes defender Shaun Francis bounced off of Cristian Techera and looped over keeper David Bingham’s outstretched arms. San Jose drew level in the 62nd minute. Defender Marvell Wynne played a through ball to midfielder Cordell Cato, who outran his defender to the ball. Cato had a shot, which was saved by keeper David Ousted, but the loose ball fell dangerously in front of goal. Wondolowski was the first man to it and calmly slotted the rebound home. It marked Wondolowski’s 16th goal of the season and 109th of his career, and he moved into sole possession of fifth place on the league’s all-time scoring leaderboard. Wondolowski’s 10th goal against Vancouver is the most among all players since the club entered MLS play in 2011. As San Jose pushed for the game winner, a stoppage-time turnover led to a breakaway for Whitecaps FC. However, Bingham rushed out to clean up a heavy touch and secure a huge point for the home side.

OPPONENT INFORMATION Earthquakes vs. Sporting Kansas City All-Time MLS Regular Season: 22-21-7 Home: 14-4-6 (35 GF, 19 GA) Away: 8-17-1 (28 GF, 40 GA) All-Time Scoring: San Jose – 63, Kansas City – 59 Last Game vs. Sporting Kansas City Earthquakes 5, Sporting Kansas City 0; August 19, 2015; Sporting Park, Kansas City, Kan. The San Jose Earthquakes scored in the third minute and kept the pressure on throughout the game en route to a convincing 5-0 victory over Sporting Kansas City at Sporting Park. Chris Wondolowski scored two goals to reach 100 for his Quakes career, while Cordell Cato had his first career MLS brace and Anibal Godoy scored his first goal in MLS. San Jose jumped on top early through Cato in just the third minute. Shea Salinas got the ball on the left wing and ran past three defenders before sliding a ball back for Cato, who had made late run. He then fired a shot past Sporting Kansas City goalkeeper Tim Melia to the near post for his second goal of the year. The Quakes nearly had a second in the eighth minute after a good passing combination. Wondolowski received a pass at the top of the box and then split two defenders with a ball for Quincy Amarikwa. Amarikwa faked a shot and then fired a low shot that was deflected out for a corner. On the ensuing corner, the ball got cleared out, but Marvell Wynne sent it back in the box for Clarence Goodson. Goodson ripped a shot from close range that was saved well by Melia. Wondolowski made the Quakes lead 2-0 after Cato, Amarikwa and Wondolowski broke down the Sporting defense again. Wondolowski ran onto a long pass from Fatai Alashe in the box and cut it back for Cato, who flipped a pass to Amarikwa. The Quakes forward was pushed over from behind by Chance Myers and Wondolowski calmly finished from the spot for his 10th goal of the year. With the goal Wondolowski becomes the only player in MLS history to score 10 or more goals in six consecutive seasons. The lead grew to 3-0 with a fantastic finish by Anibal Godoy in the 27th minute, his first goal in an Earthquakes’ uniform. After receiving a ball at midfield, Amarikwa back heeled a pass through the Sporting KC defense to Godoy. The Panamanian international then maneuvered around a Sporting defender before slotting a near post shot past Melia. San Jose almost had a dream start to the second half after some good work from Amarikwa on the left wing. After he got around a defender, he found Cato at the edge of the box. Cato rolled a cross for Wondolowski on the right side, but his shot slid just past the left post. Cato and Salinas connected again in the 58th minute to give San Jose a 4-0 lead. Amarikwa picked up a pass in midfield and then found Salinas on the left wing. Salinas broke past a defender to the endline and squared for Cato who had made a run into the heart of the box. He then one-timed a shot past Melia. The Quakes continued their attack with another goal from Wondolowski in the 61st minute. Alashe picked out Wondolowski with an inswinging cross in the box and the U.S. international dove and headed one to the far post for his 11th goal of the year. The goal moved Wondolowski into a tie with former teammate Dwayne De Rosario for sixth all-time in MLS history with 104 goals. It was also his 100th goal as a member of the Earthquakes.

Getting on the Board The Earthquakes haven’t been shut out in any of their previous 11 matches, the longest active streak in the Western Conference. Moving Up the Charts Forward Chris Wondolowski scored the club’s lone goal against Vancouver, moving him into sole possession of fifth place on the league’s all-time scoring leaderboard with 109 goals. Mr. October With his goal, Wondolowski became the first player in MLS history to tally 20 career goals in the month of October.

In addition to being the leading scorer during the final month of the regular season, Wondolowski is also the league’s all-time leading scorer in the first month (March) with 14, six more than anyone else. Converting Penalty Kicks San Jose is the only team in Major League Soccer to attempt six or more penalty kicks in 2015 and covert them all. Wondolowksi is six for six on penalties this season.

#SJvSKC: HEAD-TO-HEAD
#SJvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS
Sporting KC can secure their fifth straight playoff berth with a victory at the San Jose Earthquakes in the team’s first trip to Avaya Stadium on Friday. The match will go a long way in shaping the Western Conference playoff picture as fourthplace Sporting KC (13-9-9, 48 points) and sixth-place San Jose (12-12-8, 44 points) look to extend their respective campaigns beyond Oct. 25. Friday marks the second regular season meeting between the sides this year. San Jose cruised to a 5-0 win on Aug. 19 at Sporting Park, handing Peter Vermes’ men their only home loss of 2015 to date. Chris Wondolowski and Cordell Cato each bagged a brace, while Anibal Godoy scored his first career MLS goal. Prior to that match, the home side in the series was unbeaten in 18 straight games across all competitions dating back to 2004. Sporting KC has a 4-16-6 road record against the Earthquakes (including postseason) and hasn’t won in San Jose since Aug. 16, 2000, a run of 16 straight visits without a victory (0-11-5).

SPORTING KC ANNOUNCES 2015 CLUB AWARDS
Entering the penultimate weekend of MLS action, the top seven teams in the Western Conference are separated by only seven points. Fourth-place Sporting KC sits three points back of Western Conference co-leaders LA Galaxy and FC Dallas heading into Friday’s clash against the Earthquakes, who currently occupy the sixth and final postseason spot.
Sporting KC presented the club’s annual awards on Saturday at Sporting Park during Pitch Black. The club’s players, media members and fans voted on the following awards: • • • • •
If Sporting KC reaches 51 points, three more than their current total, they’ll be guaranteed a top-six finish in the Western Conference standings. That’s because the maximum point haul for San Jose and Real Salt Lake is 50, while Houston’s maximum is 47. Colorado is already eliminated from postseason contention. Sporting KC would clinch their fifth consecutive playoff berth with a win on Friday.
Feilhaber, the team’s MVP, has scored a career-high 12 goals and set a single-season club record with 19 assists in 34 games across all competitions in 2015. For the third straight year, Feilhaber collected Sporting KC’s Goal of the Year for his game-tying goal in the 95th minute of a 4-4 draw at Houston on April 25.
ON THE ROAD AGAIN
On Friday, Sporting KC will conclude a daunting portion of the schedule that saw the team play eight of 10 matches away from home. The stretch began with consecutive losses to Columbus Crew SC (Aug. 22) and the Colorado Rapids (Aug. 29). After a bye during the first weekend of September, Sporting KC embarked on a two-game road trip that began in the Pacific Northwest against the Portland Timbers (0-0 draw) on Sept. 9 and ended in the opposite corner of the country against Orlando City SC (3-1 loss) on Sept 13.
Dwyer repeats as the team’s Offensive Player of the Year with 16 goals, most among all Sporting KC players, and three assists in 32 games played across all competitions in 2015. Besler and Mustivar share Defensive Player of the Year honors for a Sporting Kansas City side that has conceded the fewest shots (319) in MLS this season. Besler leads MLS with 202 clearances, while Mustivar is 14-4-5 as a starter (all competitions) and leads the league with 6.3 interceptions per game.
Peter Vermes’ men returned home Sept. 18 and earned a 3-1 victory over FC Dallas, but a visit to Houston on Sept. 23 resulted in a 1-0 defeat. Sporting KC returned home for a 1-1 draw against Seattle on Sept. 27, then continued their travels to Philadelphia for a Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final that they won on penalties. The champions had little time to celebrate as a tricky cross-country road trip to Portland followed, but Krisztian Nemeth’s sensational goal in the 83rd minute sealed a 1-0 win and an excellent week for Vermes’ side.
Nemeth has contributed 15 goals, including the game-tying goal in the U.S. Open Cup Final, to go along with seven assists in 29 games played across all competitions in 2015 to earn distinction as the team’s Newcomer of the Year. His 22 combined goals and assists are the most by a KC newcomer since the inaugural 1996 season. Defender Kevin Ellis was given his Humanitarian of the Year award on Saturday by the parents of three-year-old Kit Van Sickle, who is fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia and first met Ellis in May during a Victory Project photo shoot for the 2016 Braden’s Hope calendar. The pair have since formed a close bond, which embodies Ellis’ commitment to making a difference in the lives of others.
THE THREE MUSKETEERS
2015 marks the first season in club history that Sporting KC has seen three different players reach the double-digit goal mark in all competitions. Dom Dwyer (16), Krisztian Nemeth (15) and Benny Feilhaber (12) have combined for 43 of the team’s 60 totals goals in the MLS regular season and U.S. Open Cup.
FEILHABER ON FIRE
Midfielder Benny Feilhaber is piecing together one of the best seasons in Sporting KC history, setting MLS career highs with 10 goals and 14 assists during an MVPcaliber 2015 season. In a 3-1 win over FC Dallas on Sept. 18, he became just the third player in club history to reach double digits in goals and assists in league play, joining Josh Wolff (2005) and Preki (1996-98, 2003). Feilhaber has recorded 19 assists this season in all competitions, breaking the club record he had previously shared with Preki (2003). Earlier this year, he became just the second player in club history (Preki) to reach 10 goals and 15 assists in a single season (all competitions). Feilhaber won MLS Player of the Month for April and received MLS All-Star honors for the first time in his career when he was named to the All-Star Fan XI and competed in the 2015 AT&T MLS All-Star Game on July 29. He has bagged two MLS Goal of the Week Awards (Weeks 8 and 21) and earned Team of the Week honors on eight separate occasions from various media outlets (see page 5). On Saturday, he was named Sporting KC’s MVP for the 2015 season.
Nemeth’s goal in a 1-0 win at Portland on Oct. 3 brought him to 10 MLS goals in 2015, tied with Feilhaber and one behind Dwyer for the team lead. As a result, Sporting KC has three double-digit scorers in the same MLS season for the first time ever. It’s a feat only nine other teams have reached in league history — and just the third such occurrence since 2003. Of the previous nine clubs to match the milestone, eight qualified for the playoffs and two went on to win MLS Cup — including last year’s LA Galaxy side led by Robbie Keane, Gyasi Zardes and Landon Donovan.

NEMETH SHINES FOR HUNGARY IN EURO QUALIFYING
Krisztian Nemeth scored two goals on Sunday as the Hungary Men’s National Team lost at Greece 4-3 to conclude the UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying group stage. Hungary now faces a two-legged playoff in November to qualify for the UEFA European Championship for the first time since 1972.

The Sporting KC forward played 90 minutes and twice fired Hungary into a secondhalf lead at Karaiskakis Stadium in Athens. Greece restored parity after both goals and conjured a game-winner in the 86th minute.
ROOKIE RELEVANCE
Hungary (4-2-4, 16 points) finished its Euro 2016 qualifying campaign in third place in Group F behind Northern Ireland (21 points) and Romania (20 points). The top two teams from each group — as well as the third-place team with the most points — advance directly to Euro 2016 next June. Hungary missed out on the top position among third-place teams and now faces a two-legged playoff against one of the other seven third-place finishers next month. Should Hungary win the series, they will advance to next summer’s tournament in France.
In January, Sporting KC selected Connor Hallisey (10th), Saad Abdul-Salaam (12th) and Amadou Dia (20th) in the first round of the 2015 MLS SuperDraft. Fast forward to a 1-0 win at the Portland Timbers on Oct. 3, and all three newcomers were in the starting lineup for Manager Peter Vermes. It marked the first time in the past eight seasons for three rookie draft picks to start a regular season match for Kansas City and the only such occasion in MLS this season.
Nemeth now has three goals in 21 appearances for the Magyars since debuting in 2010. He has earned six of those caps in 2015—a season during which he has excelled for Sporting KC. Nemeth was named club Newcomer of the Year on Saturday and has recorded 15 goals and seven assists in all competitions. The 26-year-old shared the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Golden Boot honor with teammate Dom Dwyer, bagging five goals including an equalizer in the final that Sporting KC won on penalties.
Collectively, Sporting KC’s three rookies have now played a total of 54 regular season games through MLS Week 32. That’s one shy of the club record, set in 2007, for appearances by first-year draft picks and more than the previous four rookie classes combined. It also leads MLS in 2015, as does their 27 combined starts and their 2,701 minutes played.

Sporting KC Game Notes | Oct. 16, 2015 at San Jose Earthquakes | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES (CONTINUED) SPORTING KC CROWNED U.S. OPEN CUP CHAMPIONS
TIM MELIA TAKES PLAYER OF THE WEEK HONORS
Sporting KC claimed the club’s third U.S. Open Cup championship since 2004 and the team’s third major title in the past four seasons on Sept. 30, prevailing 7-6 in an eight-round penalty kick shootout after a 1-1 draw with the Philadelphia Union at PPL Park in Chester, Pennsylvania. With the triumph, Sporting KC secured the Dewar Challenge Trophy and clinched a berth in the 2016/17 Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League to compete against the best teams in North America, Central America and the Caribbean region.
Sporting KC goalkeeper Tim Melia was voted MLS Player of the Week for Week 31 of the 2015 season, Major League Soccer announced on Oct. 6. Melia recorded the only MLS shutout in Week 31, his eighth of the season, in a 1-0 road win at the Portland Timbers three days earlier. Melia kept his second clean sheet in a month’s time at Providence Park, becoming the first goalkeeper to hold the Timbers scoreless at home twice in one season in the club’s five-year history. In doing so, he extended Portland’s scoreless streak against Sporting KC to 392 minutes dating back to 2013.
Sporting KC forward Krisztian Nemeth scored his fifth goal of the tournament, tying teammate Dom Dwyer for most in this year’s competition, with a 65th minute goal that leveled the match at 1-1 after Sebastien Le Toux had struck for the opening goal in the 23rd minute. Tim Melia matched his career-high with seven saves through 90 minutes of regulation and two 15-minute extra time periods, then made two saves in the penalty kick shootout to turn away attempts from Union captain Maurice Edu and former No. 1 draft pick Andrew Wenger.
In his first season as an MLS starter, Melia logged six saves in the victory and is the first KC goalkeeper since Kevin Hartman in 2008 to make six saves in four different matches during a regular season campaign. He is 14-6-5 as a starter for Sporting KC this season with a 1.14 goals against average across all competitions. Melia started all five matches in the club’s Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup championship run, making seven saves in the Final on Sept. 30 in addition to two stops in the penalty shootout. Melia also received Player of the Week recognition from Soccer By Ives and NBC Pro Soccer Talk. He has enjoyed a breakout season in 2015 after serving as a backup at Real Salt Lake (2010-11) and Chivas USA (2012-14) and serving as a League Pool goalkeeper at the end of 2014.
Approximately 1,000 Sporting KC supporters were among the more than 14,000 fans in attendance at PPL Park. Philadelphia, playing in the U.S. Open Cup Final at home for the second straight year, took the 1-0 lead thanks to the tournament’s leading scorer in the modern era. Sebastian Le Toux raced onto a pass from Victor Nogueira and placed a first-time finish into the back of the net for the 16th U.S. Open Cup goal in his career.
NEMETH NETS GOAL OF THE WEEK WITH SOLO STUNNER
Krisztian Nemeth set social media aflame on Oct. 3 when he sliced and diced his way through the Portland Timbers defense en route to a stunning solo goal. The strike — prefaced by a 50-yard run that originated in the defensive half and left multiple would-be tacklers sprawled on the turf — gave Sporting KC a priceless win and generated Goal of the Year buzz. In the interim, Nemeth had to settle for the AT&T MLS Goal of the Week, his second since the start of September. The Hungarian took a whopping 67.93 percent of the vote in Week 31, comfortably besting four other finalists from around the league.
Nemeth, whose header carried just over the crossbar moments before halftime, found the coveted equalizer 20 minutes into the second half amidst rainy conditions. With a total of three combined touches, Chance Myers played a ball into the path of Graham Zusi who flicked it further across the penalty area for Nemeth to bend a right-footed curler inside the post. The Hungarian international scored in each of his four appearances in the 2015 U.S. Open Cup and his five total goals move him into a share of the club lead among all-time scorers in the tournament. Zusi’s assist was the third of his career in the U.S. Open Cup, placing him second on the club’s all-time assists chart for the competition.
Sporting KC players have won the weekly honor five times in 2015: Nemeth (Week 28, Week 31) and Benny Feilhaber (Week 8, Week 21) have two each, while Dom Dwyer took the award in Week 12. At season’s end, each one will be up for AT&T MLS Goal of the Year.
Sporting KC are no strangers to the penalty shootout, claiming the 2012 U.S. Open Cup and 2013 MLS Cup with kicks from the mark, and the experience showed on Wednesday with seven of the team’s eight shooters successful. Both goalkeepers came up with back-to-back saves on their third try as Melia thwarted Edu and Blake tipped Nemeth’s attempt into the post.

The next eight players would convert one after another until the eighth round when Melia lifted his left leg to meet Wenger’s shot and set the stage for the decisive penalty. Up stepped 21-year-old newcomer Jordi Quintilla -- the youngest player to feature in the shootout -- to secure the title with a left-footed shot as Blake dove the opposite direction. •
Quarterfinals
D.C. United 1
Sporting KC became the fourth MLS team to win the tournament three times (Chicago 4, Seattle 4, D.C. United 3). Sporting KC has now won three Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup championships in team history, each of which in extra time (2004) or a penalty kick shootout (2012, 2015). Sporting KC started five players on Sept. 30 who also started in the 2012 final: Graham Zusi, Matt Besler, Chance Myers, Paulo Nagamura and Seth Sinovic. Dom Dwyer and Krisztian Nemeth both scored five goals in Sporting KC’s run to the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup title, finishing in a tie for the tournament’s Golden Boot. Nemeth’s fifth U.S. Open Cup goal moved him into a tie for first place atop Sporting KC’s all-time U.S. Open Cup scoring chart, alongside Dom Dwyer, C.J. Sapong, Davy Arnaud and Igor Simutenkov. Krisztian Nemeth scored in four straight U.S. Open Cup games, becoming the fourth player since 1995 to tally in four straight USOC matches in the same edition of the tournament. Graham Zusi recorded his third career U.S. Open Cup assist on Sept. 30, moving into a tie for second in team history behind Benny Feilhaber (five). The visiting team has won the last three U.S. Open Cup finals and five of the last nine, including back-to-back losses for Philadelphia in 2014 against Seattle and again in 2015 versus Sporting KC. Sporting KC has 11 U.S. Open Cup wins since 2012, more than any other team (11-2-1). Philadelphia is tied for second with nine (9-3-3). Sporting KC overcame 1-0 deficits in the quarterfinals, semifinals and final of the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Sporting KC became the fifth team to lift three major trophies in a four-year span since 2005 (LA Galaxy, Seattle Sounders, D.C. United, Columbus Crew SC).

2015 SPORTING KC MEDIA RECOGNITIONS
The United States Men’s National Team fell to Mexico 3-2 in the CONCACAF Cup on Saturday night at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. With the win, Mexico earned CONCACAF’s berth in the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup in Russia.
SAADABDUL-SALAAM Team of the Week
Sporting KC captain Matt Besler started the match and played the full 120 minutes for his 27th cap since debuting in January 2013. Graham Zusi was available off the bench but did not feature for head coach Jurgen Klinsmann. Besler and Zusi returned to Kansas City on Sunday and will be available for Sporting KC’s match against the San Jose Earthquakes on Friday at Avaya Stadium.
OPARA OFF DISABLED LIST
Major League Soccer’s Roster Freeze Deadline was enforced on Sept. 15, at which time clubs submitted their final roster for the remainder of the 2015 season. Sporting KC defender Ike Opara, who ruptured his Achilles on April 11, was officially removed from the Disabled List and is eligible for selection upon his recovery. Roger Espinoza, who has been sidelined since the start of August, is also eligible for selection as he was not placed on the Disabled List after sustaining a foot injury.
PETER THE GREAT
Seventh-year head coach Peter Vermes has stamped his name in the Sporting KC and MLS history books this season. The 48-year-old began the 2015 campaign with 76 regular season coaching wins, good for 14th most in MLS history. More than seven months later, Vermes has climbed to eighth all-time with 89 regular season victories—fifth among active coaches behind Sigi Schmid (221), Bruce Arena (190), Dominic Kinnear (151) and Jason Kreis (100). In addition, 2015 has seen Vermes become Kansas City’s winningest coach ever. When Sporting KC beat Real Salt Lake 3-1 in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup semifinals on Aug. 12, Vermes earned his 109th coaching win for the club in all competitions to pass his former coach Bob Gansler atop the club’s all-time chart. Three days later, Sporting KC pulled off a 4-3 comeback win to give Vermes his 87th regular season triumph, also passing Gansler for sole possession of first place in team history. On Sept. 30, Vermes won his third major trophy as coach of Sporting KC when the club defeated the Philadelphia Union 7-6 in penalty kicks after a 1-1 draw through regulation. The second-longest tenured manager in team history behind Gansler (1999-2006), Vermes assumed head coaching duties in August 2009 and has since compiled a 112-77-59 record in all competitions. He led Sporting KC to the 2012 and 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup championships and in 2013 became the first person to win MLS Cup as both a player and coach with the same team.

Rookie defender Saad Abdul-Salaam was selected by Sporting KC with the 12th overall pick in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft. He made his Sporting KC debut with a substitute appearance in a 4-2 win over New England on May 20 after starting five games on loan for the reigning North American Soccer League champion San Antonio Scorpions. He has made 24 appearances in all competitions this season (19 in MLS) and recorded his first professional assist in a 6-2 U.S. Open Cup win over FC Dallas on July 1. He earned his first MLS start on July 12, a 1-0 win over Vancouver in which Abdul-Salaam received Team of the Week honors from Bleacher Report. Abdul-Salaam played three seasons at the University of Akron (2012-2014), recording three goals and 12 assists in 54 college games. The right back helped Akron win MAC regular season titles in each of his three college seasons. He enjoyed a breakout junior campaign in 2013 with five assists in 19 starts before earning All-MAC First Team honors as a senior in 2014, notching two goals and a team-high six assists while starting all 21 games for the Zips.
Fifth-year MLS defender Jalil Anibaba joined Sporting KC ahead of the 2015 season. He previously made 112 regular season appearances over four years with the Chicago Fire (2011-2013) and Seattle Sounders FC (2014), recording four goals and six assists. He made his Sporting KC debut on March 21 and scored his first goal for the club in second half stoppage time of a 3-2 win over Philadelphia on April 5. His first of four Sporting KC assists during the month of May was a game-winner to Paulo Nagamura on May 3, and he was named to the fan ballot for the 2015 AT&T MLS All-Star Game. Capable of playing as a centerback or right back, Anibaba made 16 MLS appearances in 2014 and helped Seattle win the Supporters’ Shield title. He also featured in four matches during the club’s run to the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open championship. The 26-year-old spent his first three professional seasons in Chicago, where he played in 96 of the team’s 102 regular season contests from 2011-2013. The defender was named a finalist for Major League Soccer’s Fair Play Award in 2013, starting every regular season match of the campaign. As a youth, Anibaba represented the United States at the under-18 and under-20 national team levels.

Anor was South Florida’s top scorer for three seasons during his collegiate career (2007-2010) in which he recorded 21 goals and seven assists. His younger brother, Juan Pablo, plays professionally for Malaga CF in Spain’s La Liga, and his father, Bernardo, represented Venezuela at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow.

He was named to the MLS All-Star Fan XI ahead of the 2015 AT&T MLS All-Star Game on July 29. Besler signed a long-term Designated Player contract with the club in July 2014. His 215 appearances for Sporting KC in all competitions lead the current roster and rank eighth most all-time. A regular staple of the team’s backline, he has started 174 of his 179 MLS regular season appearances and landed Sporting KC Defender of the Year honors three times (2011-2013). Besler has earned 27 caps for the United States Men’s National Team since debuting in January 2013.

Now in his fourth season at Sporting KC, Dom Dwyer is coming off a breakout 2014 campaign in which he garnered Sporting KC Offensive Player of the Year and co-MVP honors. The Englishman set a single season club record with 22 goals, second most in MLS, and his 44 career goals in all competitions are fourth most in team history. Dwyer, who was an MLS All-Star in 2014 for the first time in his career, has scored 66 goals in all competitions since the start of 2013—44 for Sporting KC and 22 for former USL PRO affiliate Orlando City SC. He signed a contract extension with the club ahead of the 2015 campaign and leads the team this year with 16 goals in all competitions, including a club-record four goals in a 6-2 U.S. Open Cup win over FC Dallas on July 1. After making three appearances across all competitions during his rookie season, he notched 15 goals in 13 regular season games while on loan with Orlando City SC in 2013 to set USL PRO’s single-season scoring record at the time. He added four goals in the USL PRO final to earn championship MVP honors. Dwyer won two national championships at Tyler (Texas) Junior College (2009, 2010), where he was the national junior college player of the year after scoring 37 goals as a sophomore. Moving on to South Florida in 2011, he scored 16 goals in 21 games.

The 24-year-old has continued his unlikely rise in 2015, registering career highs in MLS with 24 starts and three goals, tied for most among MLS defenders this season. Now in his fifth season with the club, Ellis developed in the Sporting KC Academy while attending Oak Park High School before playing collegiately at Barton County Community College in 2009-10.

The No. 1 overall selection in the 2008 MLS SuperDraft has played 159 matches for the club in all competitions, recording four goals and 18 assists from the wing back position. He made his 2015 debut on June 16 in the U.S. Open Cup fourth round, recording his first appearance since May 2014 after recovering from an Achilles injury. He tallied the game-winning assist in his first MLS match of the season on June 27, landing MLSsoccer.com Team of the Week honors. Myers eclipsed 30 MLS appearances in both 2011 and 2012 as a regular starter, and after making a career-high 31 MLS starts in 2013 (including playoffs), was the top-rated outside back on the MLS Castrol Index. He led MLS with 91 successful crosses from open play (including playoffs) between 2011 and 2013 before missing most of 2014 through injury. Myers signed a new contract with the club last year after joining the U.S. Men’s National Team for the first time in his career as a member of Jurgen Klinsmann’s January Camp in 2014. He previously played for the U.S. U-18, U-20 and U-23 youth national teams.

Nagamura scored the game-tying and game-winning goals in the 87th and 94th minutes of a 4-3 win over Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Aug. 15 as Sporting KC came from two goals behind after the 80th minute to complete one of the greatest regular season comebacks in MLS history. A veteran presence in the midfield, he converted penalty kicks in shootouts following the 2012 U.S. Open Cup Final, the 2013 MLS Cup Final and the 2015 U.S. Open Cup Final. The Brazilian began his career with Sao Paulo FC and Arsenal FC in England before coming to the United States to play for the LA Galaxy in 2005, winning the MLS Cup and Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in his first season. He has also played for Toronto FC (2007) and Chivas USA (2007-2011) in MLS, becoming an MLS All-Star in 2009.

Defender Ike Opara is in his sixth season in MLS and third season as a member of Sporting KC. After sitting out almost a year through injury, he returned to the pitch on March 8 and scored Sporting KC’s first goal of the season. He led MLS through Week 6 with 30 interceptions and was nominated for Eithad Airways MLS Player of the Month for March after scoring twice and anchoring a backline that posted two shutouts. He then suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon injury in his right ankle on April 11. The club’s 2013 Newcomer of the Year, Opara appeared in a career-best 18 MLS matches with 15 starts during the club’s MLS Cup-winning campaign. He scored four goals in 2013 across all competitions (all headers) and featured in three of Sporting KC’s playoff matches. A season-ending ankle injury limited him to three MLS appearances in 2014 and two starts in the 2014-15 CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals. Opara represented the United States at the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup, playing all three matches at the tournament, and at the U-23 level during the 2012 CONCACAF Men’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament. He was drafted by the San Jose Earthquakes in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft as a Generation adidas signing and played 36 MLS matches for the club over three seasons.
One of the youngest players under contract in MLS, Erik Palmer-Brown became a homegrown player in August 2013 at age 16. This year, he became the youngest MLS player to appear in a team’s regular season opener since 2010 and recorded his first MLS minutes at Sporting Park. The 18-year-old earned his first start of 2015 on May 9 at D.C. Palmer-Brown made his league debut with a start in May 2014, becoming the youngest player in MLS history to start a match as a defender, for the first of six appearances in all competitions (including debuts in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and CONCACAF Champions League).

The Lee’s Summit, Mo. native joined the Sporting KC Academy at age 13 and has represented United States youth national teams at the U-15, U-17, U-18 and U-20 levels. This year, he competed with the U-20s at training camps in England (March 23-30) and Austria (April 18-26) before joining the U.S. Under-20 Men’s National Team for the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup.

In 2012, he began his professional career as an 18-year-old with Barcelona B in Spain’s second division and later went on loan to CF Badalona and CE L’Hospitalet.

Sporting KC Coach Bios | Oct. 16, 2015 at San Jose Earthquakes | 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 seventh season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2015. He is the team’s second-longest serving manager and his 112 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 – as well as two MLS Eastern Conference regular season titles (2011, 2012). He is the second coach to lead Sporting KC to four 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 89 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. Vermes oversees all soccer operations for Sporting KC, including the active roster and the Sporting KC Juniors program. Vermes, an original member of Major League Soccer, 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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 184 MLS matches and playing more than 16,000 minutes. He was nominated on the players’ ballot for the National Soccer Hall of Fame from 2007-2012. In 2013, Vermes was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame. Year
