SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs D.C. UNITED SPORTING PARK, Kansas City, Kan. Oct. 18, 2013 (WEEK 34, MLS Game #305) 7 p.m. CT (NBC SN; TSN2) With a chance to still claim the Supporters’ Shield ahead, Sporting Kansas City play host to a D.C. United side looking to avoid making history when the teams meet Friday evening at Sporting Park before an NBC Sports Network audience. Sporting are one of two teams to have clinched berths in the MLS Cup Playoffs, after their scoreless draw at Houston last week, and are a point out of the top spot overall. United are looking for a first road win this season and aiming not to have the fewest wins in a league campaign in MLS history, coming off a 1-1 home draw with Philadelphia. REFEREE: Chris Penso.

Claudio Bieler’s goal in the 89th minute gave Sporting a 1-0 home win on April 5; the teams traded goals midway through the second half in a 1-1 draw May 19 at RFK Stadium. Sporting KC have a six-game undefeated streak alive vs. D.C. United. The last D.C. victory in the series came May 5, 2010 at RFK Stadium. United have not won in Kansas City since 2007. In the eight visits since, Sporting have won five games with three ties; that includes two wins and two draws in four meetings all-time at CommunityAmerica Ballpark, and victories in all three meetings at Sporting Park. Coaches record: Peter Vermes vs. DC: P10 W6 L2 T2 … Ben Olsen vs. KC: P6 W0 L5 T1 LAST MEETING (MLS) Kansas City took the lead at the hour mark. Via a corner kick by Graham Zusi, defender Ike Opara jumped to head the ball and the ball sailed past, deflecting off the head of United defender Ethan White and into the net. But the home side were even five minutes later. Chris Pontius delivered a beautiful ball from the left flank to Kyle Porter, and he slipped a picture-perfect finish inside the back post from inside the goal area. D.C.

MLS GAME INFORMATION
SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City completed their two-game road swing unbeaten, reaching a scoreless draw with the Houston Dynamo on Oct. 9 at BBVA Compass Stadium. Sporting are in third place in the Eastern Conference with 51 points from 32 matches. LAST MATCH Sporting goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen was called upon to make four saves in keeping the clean sheet, including three saves in the opening seven minutes of the match. Two of the shots were from Dynamo striker Will Bruin from point blank range. The Dynamo came closest to scoring on the stroke of halftime, when Aurelien Collin headed a Brad Davis free kick off the line. Dynamo goalkeeper Tally Hall was required to make just one save for the shutout. Sporting manager Peter Vermes made two changes to the team that defeated the Columbus Crew 1-0 at Crew Stadium. Aurelien Collin and Oriol Rosell came back into the team with Matt Besler and Graham Zusi on U.S. national team duty. SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-2-3-1): Jimmy Nielsen - Chance Myers, Ike Opara, Aurelien Collin, Seth Sinovic - Lawrence Olum, Oriol Rosell - C.J. Sapong, Peterson Joseph, Soony Saad (Jacob Peterson 59) - Dom Dwyer (Teal Bunbury 74) TEAM NEWS Sporting became the second team to clinch a berth in the MLS Cup Playoffs, joining the New York Red Bulls from the Eastern Conference. No teams from the West have yet clinched a place. “We knew it was going to be like this going into the end of the season,” SKC manager Peter Vermes said. “For us, it's important that we continue to keep getting better and to get points wherever we can. I think this was a great road point for us. If you would have said that we'd get four points out of our two next road games, I think most people would have said, 'That's great. That's excellent.' So it's a good place to be at the moment.” Sporting have not allowed a goal in back-to-back games, their first consecutive matches without conceding since five straight shutouts March 16-April 17, part of a 546-minute shutout run, the longest in MLS this season. It was the 12th shutout this season for SKC goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen, tying him for the MLS lead along with Philadelphia’s Zac MacMath and Portland’s Donovan Ricketts. “Jimmy always finds a way to keep us in the game,” Vermes said. “He's done that since he's been here, and I've never seen anything different from him. He came up really big for us early on.” Said Nielsen: “After the game I think we should be happy with the one point. I think we got better and better into the game. We got better organized. We were struggling a little bit to keep possession in the first half, but I think in the second half we were a lot better from our side.” With Aurelien Collin receiving a yellow card that put him over the limit, Sporting requested the release of Matt Besler from U.S. national team camp, and he returned to the MLS side following the Jamaica match. “We had a pre-agreement that we knew [Aurélien] Collin was in trouble with yellow cards, and if there was going to be an issue in that area, that we would need him back 100 percent,” Vermes said. “So [Klinsmann] said he would absolutely give it full consideration when we got there. We kind of knew after [Collin] got the yellow card, that he was going to come back, but we didn't get conformation until after their game.” Collin will miss his second match in the last three contests through the suspension, after also sitting out the 1-0 win vs. Columbus on Oct. 5. Graham Zusi remained with the U.S. team – and scored for a second consecutive match, netting the late winner in Tuesday’s 3-2 victory vs. Panama. He played the entire match. “If he plays in that game down in Panama, he'll get back Tuesday night and be back with us in plenty of time for our game,” Vermes said. “It just depends on how much time he plays in that game.” D.C. UNITED D.C. United has their league winless streak extended to 10 games in cruel fashion, Philadelphia Union hitting for a late equalizer in a 1-1 draw Saturday evening at RFK Stadium. United are in 10th place in the Eastern Conference with 16 points from 32 matches. LAST MATCH United took the lead in the 36th minute. Played into the attacking third by Lewis Neal, Nick DeLeon found space between two Union defenders and blast a 30-yard shot into the far upper corner of the net past diving goalkeeper Zac MacMath. But the visitors snatched a crucial draw on the stroke of full time. After coming on as a substitute in the 73rd minute, Jack McInerney nodded a Kleberson cross from the heart of the penalty area past D.C. goalkeeper Bill Hamid for the equalizer. United head coach Ben Olsen made five changes to the team that fell 3-0 to the Chicago Fire at RFK Stadium. Bill Hamid came in between the posts for Joe Willis, Chris Korb and Dennis Iapichino started in the back four
MLS GAME INFORMATION
for Sainey Nyassi and James Riley, and Lewis Neal and Chris Pontius came into midfield in place of Collin Martin and John Thorrington. D.C. UNITED (4-4-2): Bill Hamid - Chris Korb, Daniel Woolard, Perry Kitchen, Dennis Iapichino - Nick DeLeon (Sainey Nyassi 70), Lewis Neal, Jared Jeffrey, Chris Pontius - Luis Silva (Kyle Porter 67), Conor Doyle (Lionard Pajoy 87). TEAM NEWS While United put an end to their three-game losing skid, they still have not won a league game in 10 matches, since Aug. 3. The streak is the club’s second-longest winless run this season (behind a 13-game run March 16June 15), and the fourth-longest in MLS this year. “We’ve seen this before and you got to go get the second goal and be classy enough to have the composure with the final ball to finish off games,” said United head coach Ben Olsen. “The defense was great – they did everything I asked of them. Offensively, they did everything I asked of them except the hard part, which needs to get better.” D.C. United are looking to avoid becoming the fifth team in league history to complete a league campaign winless on the road, now 0-13-3 on their travels. The last to have completed an MLS season without a road victory was Vancouver Whitecaps FC in 2011. United must also win one of their two final matches this season to avoid setting the MLS record for fewest wins in a season (currently four, by Chivas USA in 2005). Nick DeLeon scored his second goal of the season, his first coming on Aug. 31. But he was forced off the field in the 70th minute with an injury. “In the numbers department, it has been a slow year, but when Nick’s healthy and fit, there are not many better than him. He’s a special player,” Olsen said. “ … He has a groin problem. He’s been battling it and trained very scarcely this week, and he started feeling his groin around five minutes before we took him out. We wanted every second out of him, but we don’t need him pulling a groin right now.” For a second consecutive match, Perry Kitchen slotted into central defense, playing alongside Daniel Woolard. Lewis Neal made his first league start since Sept. 14, coming into central midfield. “Perry [Kitchen] has all the qualities you want in a center back: focus, concentration, physicality and calmness on the ball. He certainly could be an option there, but I also really like him in that holding midfield spot,” Olsen said. “It’s a luxury to have a guy who can play both. The reason he is there now is more out of necessity than it is to take a look at it from a tactical standpoint.” Dennis Iapichino made his second start with United since coming to the club from Montréal, playing the full match at left back. “The defense did extremely well. I’m not going to lie. Perry [Kitchen], he’s been used to the defensive mid role throughout the season. So through injuries, he’s had to adjust and he did well as a center back. [Daniel] Woolard’s always clean and he’s very sharp in the back. We know Dennis’ [Iapichino’s] skill. We know his talent. We know he can get the job done,” said goalkeeper Bill Hamid.

GAME NOTES
U.S. Open Cup Champions On 10/1, D.C. United defeated Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium in the 100th edition of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup final to claim its third Open Cup championship (1996, 2008). With the win, the club will receive $250,000 in prize money, an automatic berth in the 2014-15 CONCACAF Champions League and allocation money. Steady in the Back Among active goalkeepers in MLS, two of D.C. United’s ‘keepers rank in the top 10 in Goals Against Average (GAA) versus Sporting Kansas City. Joe Willis is tied for 5th with a 1.00 GAA and Bill Hamid is tied for 10th with a 1.17 GAA. Game-Winning Goals & Assists Among active players, D.C. United Captain Dwayne De Rosario is tied for third all-time in game-winning goals (2) against Sporting Kansas City. He sits behind Landon Donovan (4) and Chris Wondolowski (3). De Rosario is also tied for fourth in game-winning assists (2) behind Landon Donovan (4), Atiba Harris (3) and Justin Mapp (3). All-Time Goal Scoring D.C. United ranks 6th All-Time in goals scored (62) against Sporting Kansas City. Critical Time Period Sporting Kansas City has given up almost half of its goals in the 15-minute stretch immediately before and after halftime. The team has conceded six goals between the 31-45 minute interval and seven goals during the 46-60th minutes. First Half Importance When trailing after the first half, Sporting Kansas City is winless in the 2013 MLS season, with a 0-4-1 record. Missing Man Aurelien Collin will miss his second consecutive game this year against D.C. United for yellow-card accumulation when the teams take the field Friday. Collin, who leads the league in cautions with 12, also missed the match on May 19 when the Black-and-Red played to a 1-1 draw with SKC at RFK Stadium MLS Accolades For Week 33 of the MLS season, Nick DeLeon was nominated for Goal of the Week and Team of the Week while Bill Hamid was nominated for Save of the Week.
MLS History If D.C. United defeats Sporting Kansas City the team will avoid tying an MLS Record for fewest road wins in a season. De Rosario Returns D.C. United Captain Dwayne De Rosario returns from international duty as the Canada National Team took on Australia on 10/15 in London. De Rosario started up top for Canada and played for 45 minutes in the 3-0 loss. D.C. United Owner Invests in Inter Milan D.C. United Managing Partner Erick Thohir, along with two additional Indonesian business partners, became the controlling shareholders of Italian club Inter Milan (Serie A). Thohir purchased a majority stake in D.C. United from Will Chang on July 10, 2012. Youthful Touch D.C. United’s last five goals have been scored by players age 26 and under [Nick DeLeon (2), Jared Jeffrey, Kyle Porter and Chris Pontius]. Keeping Cool The Black-and-Red’s 2-1 loss to the New York Red Bulls on 8/31 marked the first time that a player on the field has been shown red in 26 matches that D.C. United has played this season. Ibrahim Sekagya was ejected from the game in the 72nd minute when he took down United captain Dwayne De Rosario in the box, resulting in a PK. United is the only team not to have a player ejected this season. Creating Chances Only three teams have taken more corner kicks than D.C. United (179) so far in MLS during the 2013 campaign. The only clubs who have more are the LA Galaxy (202), Houston Dynamo (191) and San Jose Earthquakes (188). Trophy History After winning the 2013 U.S. Open Cup Championship, D.C. United now has 13 major domestic and international trophies, more than any other club in MLS history. All-Time Open Cup Leaders D.C. United now leads all MLS clubs in U.S. Open Cup wins (37) and goals scored (84) in the domestic tournament. Open Cup vs. Regular Season D.C. United is the first team to win the U.S. Open Cup having won more Open Cup games than regular season games.
Perfect Game In D.C. United’s win in the U.S. Open Cup final on 10/1, Dejan Jakovic won 100% of his duels and completed 100% of his passes. He is the only player to do so in a USOC final. James Riley Milestone By playing in the U.S. Open Cup Final on 10/1, James Riley played in a Modern Pro Era record 5th title, tying Peter Vagenas and Andy Williams. Riley is also the first player to win three U.S. Open Cup titles with three different teams (New England Revolution, Seattle Sounders, D.C. United.)
Richmond Kickers’ Season Ends D.C. United’s USL PRO affiliate the Richmond Kickers fell 21 to the Charlotte Eagles on Aug. 31. The regular-season champions had plenty to smile about at season’s end, though, with loanee Andrew Dykstra being named to the First Team and nominated for USL PRO Goalkeeper of the Year. Four other Kickers were nominated for year-end awards as well.

United captain Dwayne De Rosario is the only player in League history to score 20 League goals for four different MLS clubs, including 27 in 108 games played (73 starts) for the Earthquakes, his first MLS club. De Rosario has also scored at least 20 goals for the Houston Dynamo, Toronto FC and D.C. United. Best of the Best D.C. United is the only club in MLS to feature three active players who have won the MLS All-Star MVP award – Carlos Ruiz (2003), Dwayne De Rosario (2006), and Chris Pontius (2012). De Rosario’s All-Time Goals In the Black-and-Red’s match against Toronto FC on 8/24, United captain Dwayne De Rosario tallied his 103rd career goal, remaining in sixth-place all-time in MLS scoring. Winning History D.C. United is one of Major League Soccer’s most storied clubs. The club has won four MLS Cups (1996, 1997, 1999, 2004), four Supporters’ Shields for putting together the best regular season record (1997, 1999, 2006, 2007), three U.S. Open Cup titles (1996, 2008, 2013) and two international trophies – the CONCACAF Champions Cup and InterAmerican Cup, both in 1998.
20/20 Vision With an assist in United’s 4/21 match vs. the Philadelphia Union, D.C. United midfielder Dwayne De Rosario became the sixth player in team history to notch 20 goals and 20 assists in a Black-and-Red jersey.
