NEW YORK RED BULLS vs SPORTING KANSAS CITY RED BULL ARENA, Harrison, N.J. October 20, 2012 (WEEK 32, MLS Game #306)
7 p.m. ET (MSG; KSMO)
Meeting for the third time over the season’s final two months, the New York Red Bulls and Sporting Kansas City will meet in yet another game with huge playoff implications when they face off Saturday evening at Red Bull Arena. The Red Bulls still have not clinched their place in the MLS Cup Playoffs, following their 2-0 home loss to Chicago in their last match, but can do so with a victory. Sporting are still chasing both the top seed in the Eastern Conference and the Supporters’ Shield, after their 1-1 draw at Columbus in the last match before the international break.

A month ago, C.J. Sapong and Kei Kamara scored as Sporting ended the Red Bulls long home unbeaten streak with a 2-0 victory at Red Bull Arena. The teams played to a 1-1 draw on Aug. 26 at Livestrong Sporting Park, as Kamara scored at both ends, giving KC an early lead then scoring into his own net for the equalizer. Coaches record: Hans Backe v KC: P6 W3 L2 D1 … Peter Vermes vs. NY: P7 W3 L3 D1 LAST MEETING Sporting took the lead 12 minutes in. From a free kick straight out from the Red Bulls goal, Graham Zusi’s curling shot clanged off the crossbar. The rebound fell to Matt Besler, who passed the ball to C.J. Sapong, and he quickly turned and rifled a shot past goalkeeper Bill Gaudette. Kei Kamara doubled the lead for SKC seven minutes later. Kamara broke away from Wilman Conde’s marking at the near post and headed home a Zusi corner kick with ease for his 11th goal of the season. NEW YORK RED BULLS (4-4-1-1): Bill Gaudette - Connor Lade, Heath Pearce, Markus Holgersson, Wilman Conde - Dax McCarty (Kenny Cooper 46), Teemu Tainio (Sebastien Le Toux 74), Rafa Marquez, Joel Lindpere (Lloyd Sam 69) - Tim Cahill - Thierry Henry.

Sapong, Kei Kamara. NEW YORK RED BULLS The New York Red Bulls suffered a second defeat in three home games, falling 2-0 to the Chicago Fire on Oct. 6 at Red Bull Arena. The Red Bulls are in third place in the Eastern Conference, with 53 points from 32 games. LAST MATCH The Fire finally broke the deadlock in the 65th minute. Fire midfielder Chris Rolfe played Sherjill MacDonald in behind the Red Bulls defense, and he used his speed to race in on goal and beat Red Bulls goalkeeper Luis Robles easily with a shot to the far post.
MLS GAME INFORMATION
MacDonald beat Robles again to double the Fire’s lead in the 78th minute. Daniel Paladini made a run through the center of the field before slotting a through ball through MacDonald, who again used his pace to beat the defense and slip a shot past Robles. Red Bulls head coach Hans Backe made one change to the side that took a 4-1 win against Toronto FC at Red Bull Arena. Jan Gunnar Solli came back into the side in place of Lloyd Sam. NEW YORK RED BULLS (4-4-2): Luis Robles - Brandon Barklage, Markus Holgersson, Heath Pearce (Rafa Marquez 75), Wilman Conde (Connor Lade 46) - Jan Gunnar Solli (Sebastien Le Toux 71), Dax McCarty, Tim Cahill, Joel Lindpere - Kenny Cooper, Thierry Henry. TEAM NEWS After going nearly a full calendar year and 16 games without a home loss, the Red Bulls have now lost two of their last three at Red Bull Arena. “The wrong teams to (play) against, Kansas City and Chicago, definitely,” said Red Bulls head coach Hans Backe. “I don’t think it’s a lack of energy. I think we started a little bit slow with the first 10 or 15 (minutes), but after that, I had a great feeling that we were controlling possession and also creating two, three really good chances before they scored. So it’s small margins. They took their chances.” The loss also kept the club from clinching a berth in the MLS Cup Playoffs. With a win vs. Sporting KC, or a Columbus loss, they will be guaranteed a spot; they can also get in with a tie if Houston loses or Columbus ties over the weekend. “We had the same type of game against Kansas City, the only thing was that they did not score early, but we got what we deserved,” Thierry Henry said. “They’re a better team, more organized, wanted it more. Having said that, we’re still not out.” Said midfielder Jan Gunnar Solli: “I know we’re not performing as we normally can. And especially at home, it’s just frustrating as the game goes. I feel like we created chances in the first half, in the second half I felt like it was a battle out there and neither team was creating many chances until they scored the first goal. And then we kind of totally tell that I feel like we didn’t have any energy to deal with it and try to chase that goal.” There will be selection concerns for the return match with Sporting. Fullback Brandon Barklage suffered a plantar fascia injury in training and is not expected to be available. Wilman Conde, who has been holding down the left back spot, will also not feature due to personal reasons. “We can probably choose from Connor Lade, Heath Pearce, [Jan Gunnar] Solli," Backe said. "[Jonathan] Borrajo is a fourth option, but two of these four guys have to play on Saturday." Roy Miller could also figure, but as one of three Red Bulls players on international duty (along with Tim Cahill and Joel Lindpere), he is not expected to be put into the first team. “Normally when they are coming back, they start on the bench,” said Backe. After missing the Toronto FC match through injury, Rafa Marquez came on for the final 15 minutes against Chicago, replacing Heath Pearce in central defense. “Rafa, from the back four, can jump into the midfield, so we could push Tim Cahill up higher on the pitch. And also with his precise passing game, final passes when we were losing one-nil,” said Backe. Goalkeeper Luis Robles started for a second consecutive match, though Bill Gaudette has returned to full training and could be available for selection vs. KC. “Looking back on both goals, we had a breakdown in our back four and those are type the type of goals that we need to avoid if we really want to make it into the playoffs,” said Robles. “I’d have to look at the replay the first one it looked like a tough call, maybe he was offside, but he did well, he finished well. And then the second one, I mean that can’t happen, it’s just the way it is.” “They are both banging on the door, they are very even,” Backe said. “It’s mostly having to have a look at every session, how sharp they are. When they’re that even it has to be that way, the sharpest guy.” SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City extended their undefeated streak to 10 games, despite being pegged back into a 1-1 draw with the Columbus Crew on Oct. 7 at Crew Stadium. Sporting are in first place in the Eastern Conference, with 59 points from 32 matches. LAST MATCH Sporting took the lead through C.J. Sapong in the 10th minute. He slipped unnoticed between defenders Chad Marshall and Sebastián Miranda and had plenty of space to snap a header onto the left post from a deflected cross off the foot of Graham Zusi, then finishing as the rebound fell kindly back to him. But there were once again late heroics for the Crew, leveling in the first minute of stoppage time. Emilio Rentería put in a cross from the right and Eddie Gaven got loose 10 yards from the near post, heading past goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen. Sporting head coach Peter Vermes made no changes to the team that defeated the Chicago Fire 2-0 at Livestrong Sporting Park.
MLS GAME INFORMATION
SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Jimmy Nielsen - Chance Myers, Lawrence Olum, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic - Julio Cesar - Paulo Nagamura, Roger Espinoza (Aurelien Collin 94+) - Kei Kamara, C.J. Sapong, Graham Zusi (Jacob Peterson 87). TEAM NEWS Sporting extended their undefeated streak to 10 games, their longest of the season, and four games shy of the club record. They are unbeaten in 11 games in all competitions. Five points behind the San Jose Earthquakes entering the weekend, Sporting can only win the Supporters’ Shield with victories in their last two games and losses in both for San Jose. Sporting can clinch the top seed in the Eastern Conference if they better Chicago’s result vs. New England over the weekend. There has to be a major slip-up on San Jose's part. Right now, it doesn't look like there's going to be, especially with the way their schedule looks coming up,” said Vermes. “For us, the whole end goal was trying to make the playoffs, and then try to get in the position to have homefield advantage for the playoffs. Right now, we're keeping ourselves in that position, which is good.” C.J. Sapong scored his third goal in the last five games, also with an assist in that time. “We can't let the outside factors have a say on what we're doing,” said Sapong. “We know what we need to do and we know how we play. We just need to stick to how we play.” Graham Zusi regained the MLS assist lead with his 15th of the season, one more than the LA Galaxy’s Landon Donovan. Zusi featured for the USA in both of their World Cup qualifiers, including the second at Livestrong Sporting Park vs. Guatemala. “Zusi obviously had a great game the last time he played, and hopefully he gets another run at it,” left back Seth Sinovic said. “Kei's got a lot of traveling to do. Hopefully, they both come back fresh.” Suffering an ankle injury late in stoppage time, Roger Espinoza was not fit to join the Honduras national team for their two World Cup qualifiers. He is listed as doubtful on the club’s injury report for this weekend’s match. If Espinoza cannot go, Graham Zusi could drop into a midfield role, with Jacob Peterson remaining in a wide position. “I like what he does up front more,” Vermes said of Peterson. For a third consecutive match, Lawrence Olum was preferred to Aurelien Collin in central defense, though Collin came on for the stoppage-time period after the injury to Espinoza. “The coach just wants me to rest and get prepared for the playoffs,” Collin sid. “So I've been resting, and I'm perfect now. [Olum] has been doing a good job, he's done everything they asked him to do. I'm aware of my position, I respect everything, I'm working out and I'm ready for whatever.” SKC goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen has 14 shutouts this season, tied for second-most in a single season in MLS history. If he posts shutouts in the final two games of the season, he will equal the all-time MLS record set in 2000 by Kansas City’s Tony Meola. “When they score in the last few minutes, you're standing with a mixed feeling,” said Nielsen. “But it's part of the game – we've been in situations where we're the team that's chasing the goal. Unfortunately, we couldn't hold up for 90-plus minutes.”

RED BULLS VS. SPORTING KANSAS CITY
The Red Bulls hope to clinch a playoff spot with a win on Saturday evening when they take on Eastern Conference pacesetter, Sporting Kansas City. New York is coming off a 2-0 loss to the Chicago Fire on Oct. 6. However, the Red Bulls would book their third-straight playoff berth with a win. The Red Bulls would also qualify if the Columbus Crew loses to D.C. United. Sporting KC is unbeaten in its last 10 matches, going 6-0-4 in that span. It is coming off a 1-1 tie at Columbus on Oct. 7. New York is 0-1-1 against Sporting Kansas City this season.
RED BULLS VS. SPORTING KANSAS CITY – OCTOBER 20, 2012 – 7:00 PM ET
BULLETIN BOARD RED BULLS TAKE ON SPORTING KC WITH PLAYOFF BERTH ON THE LINE With two games remaining in the MLS Regular Season, the New York Red Bulls are still in prime position to clinch a playoff spot for the third consecutive year and ninth time in the past 10 seasons heading into Saturday’s showdown against Sporting Kansas City. New York, currently in fourth place in the Eastern Conference on 53 points off a 15-9-8 record, fell 2-0 to the Chicago Fire last Saturday at Red Bull Arena. Despite the loss, the Red Bulls could secure their place in the postseason with a win in their match against first place Sporting KC. The Red Bulls would also earn a playoff spot if the sixth place Columbus Crew failed to beat D.C. United at RFK Stadium on Oct. 20. If the Red Bulls tied Sporting Kansas City, a Crew tie versus United would be enough for New York to go through. New York is just one point behind third place D.C. and three adrift of second place Chicago. Sporting Kansas City earned its East-best 59th point of the season after a 1-1 tie at Columbus on Sunday. C.J. Sapong’s early goal looked like it was enough for the visitors to take home the full three points, but Crew midfielder Eddie Gaven struck late to equalize. Sporting KC is unbeaten in its last 10 MLS regular season matches, going 6-0-4 in a streak that has lasted since July 28. New York is 0-1-1 against its Eastern Conference foe in 2012, tying 1-1 at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park on Aug. 26 and losing 2-0 at Red Bull Arena on Sept. 19. New York is 17-18-10 all-time against the Kansas City franchise and 10-4-7 at home. RED BULLS-SPORTING KANSAS CITY CONNECTIONS Sporting Kansas City head coach Peter Vermes, a native of Willingboro, NJ, played for New York in the club’s inaugural 1996 season, starting 30 matches and notching one goal and one assist.
New York nearly tied the game up six minutes after MacDonald’s opening strike. Joel Lindpere had the ball on the left wing and his inswinger was met by Kenny Cooper, who redirected it just wide. Moments later, Cooper made space from 20 yards out and rifled it right. MacDonald doubled his personal tally and the Fire’s lead with 12 minutes left to play. Daniel Paladini slid a pass to the onside Dutchman and he rolled it in. TRIO CALLED IN FOR INTERNATIONAL DUTY Defender Roy Miller, and midfielders Tim Cahill and Joel Lindpere were called up by their respective national teams during this international break. Miller earned his 32nd and 33rd caps for Costa Rica, playing the full 90 minutes, as the Ticos beat El Salvador, 1-0, last Friday and Guyana, 7-0, Tuesday in a pair of 2014 World Cup Qualifiers. Costa Rica clinched a spot in the final round of CONCACAF qualifying with the results after finishing second in Group B. Miller has made 23 appearances and 20 starts for New York, recording six assists in 2012. Cahill joined the Australian National Team, scoring the game-tying goal in the 80th minute in a crucial 2-1 come-from-behind win over Iraq on Tuesday in Doha, Qatar in a World Cup Qualifier. Australia was coming off a 2-1 loss to Jordan on Sept. 11 – a match in which Cahill played the full 90 minutes. The Socceroos moved to second place with five points in Group B, tied with Oman and behind leader, Japan (10). Cahill has earned 60 caps for his country and tallied 26 goals on the international level. Since signing with New York on July 26, Cahill has started in 10 games and posted a goal and three assists.
RED BULLS FALL 2-0 TO CHICAGO FIRE The New York Red Bulls dropped a 2-0 decision to the Chicago Fire Oct. 6 at Red Bull Arena in front of 21,157 spectators. Chicago forward Sherjill MacDonald scored both goals for the second place Fire.
Lindpere and the Estonian National Team fell, 1-0 to Hungary, in a World Cup Qualifier on Oct. 12 in Tallinn, Estonia, but bounced back to beat Andorra on Tuesday, 1-0, away from home. Estonia is currently 1-30 in Group D in European qualifying. Lindpere, who now has earned 82 caps for Estonia after playing the entire 90 minutes in the Hungary loss and 69 minutes in the Andorra win, is in the midst of his third season with the Red Bulls. He is the only New York player to have appeared in each of the team’s 32 games this year, notching five goals and five assists.
Chicago tried to open up the scoring in the sixth minute, as Chris Rolfe fired a shot that New York goalkeeper Luis Robles parried before he smothered the rebound. Twenty one minutes later on the other end, forward Thierry Henry chested a Kenny Cooper pass down inside the box and his right-footed volley was blocked at the last second by a Fire player.
FORMER AS MONACO PRESIDENT JÉRÔME DE BONTIN NAMED GENERAL MANAGER The New York Red Bulls announced Oct. 2 the appointment of Jérôme de Bontin as the team’s new General Manager. De Bontin, who will oversee the club’s business operations, took over for General Manager and Sporting Director Erik Soler, who will remain as an internal advisor.
In the 33rd minute, Red Bull Dax McCarty ripped a one-timer from long range that beat goalkeeper Sean Johnson and skipped past the right post. Then, with a minute left in the first half, Fire midfielder Alvaro Fernandez’s header off a Jalil Anibaba cross went over the bar.
Gérard Houllier, who was appointed Head of Global Soccer for Red Bull this past July, will oversee all sporting aspects of the team.
Both teams traded jabs after the break. Chicago’s Arne Friedrich got a shot off in the box that was blocked by Robles. On the other end, Henry again had his attempt on goal deflected out. Seconds later, New York’s Tim Cahill headed Henry’s ensuing corner kick straight into Johnson’s arms. The visitors took the lead in the 65th minute. Rolfe had possession in the midfield and played a well-weighted through ball to an on-rushing MacDonald. MacDonald drove towards goal and ripped it over Robles and into the back of the net.
De Bontin has had a long career in soccer, having served as President of French Club AS Monaco from early 2008 to the spring of 2009. He has served as a Board Member of the Monegasque team for seven years and also as a member of the Board, Chair of the Development Committee and member of the Investment Committee of the U.S. Soccer Foundation. De Bontin also served on the US Soccer Federation task force on player development and is the current Chairman of the Rush Soccer Organization. A graduate from Amherst College in Massachusetts, De Bontin is the director of Sustainability Investments LLC and Mekar Financial Services.
RED BULLS VS. SPORTING KANSAS CITY – OCTOBER 20, 2012 – 7:00 PM ET KING HENRY WINS MLS PLAYER OF WEEK FOR FIFTH TIME New York Red Bulls forward Thierry Henry was named the MLS Player of the Week for Week 30 of the 2012 MLS season on Oct. 1. Henry earned the honor for the fifth time this year after a one-goal, three-assist performance in New York's 4-1 win over Toronto FC Sept. 29 at Red Bull Arena. The MLS Player of the Week is selected each week of the regular season by a panel of journalists from the North American Soccer Reporters (NASR).

Henry, who earlier this season became the first player in league history to earn three-straight MLS Player of the Week awards and won his fourth honor two weeks ago, became the first New York player in over 10 years to record three assists in a match. With New York down, 1-0, Henry helped tie the score up, delivering a corner kick that defender Markus Holgersson headed in. The Red Bulls went ahead for good in the 27 th minute and Henry was again the provider, running onto a Lloyd Sam through ball and cutting it back to a wide open Kenny Cooper, who deposited it into the back of the net.
DOWN BUT NOT OUT The Red Bulls have had a knack for coming back to earn results. New York defeated Toronto FC, 4-1, on Sept. 29 despite going down 1-0 off a Ryan Johnson goal. New York is now 6-9-4 after conceding the first goal. Only Chicago (7) has won more games after giving up the opening tally.
Henry earned his hat trick of assists two minutes from full time, controlling a Jan Gunnar Solli feed in the penalty box and sliding it to Cooper again, enabling the Red Bulls forward to record his team-high 16th goal of the season. The Red Bulls Designated Player was not finished and tallied a goal of his own, spectacularly lobbing goalkeeper Freddy Hall from long range in stoppage time. MORE HENRY NOTES Forward Thierry Henry had a sensational performance for the Red Bulls on Sept. 29, becoming the first New York player in over 10 years to record three assists in a match. The last player to do it was Andy Williams on June 15, 2002 in a 5-0 win over the LA Galaxy. Henry leads the team with 12 assists and this mark is good for a fourth place tie in MLS. Henry also added his 14th goal of the season (30th in MLS regular season play) and is tied for fifth with Seattle striker Eddie Johnson. The Frenchman, who missed the team’s Sept. 22 match at New England due to suspension, has had a hand in 26 of New York’s 54 goals this year. COOPER WITH THE DOUBLE New York striker Kenny Cooper recorded his fourth multi-goal game of the season in the team’s Sept. 29 win over Toronto FC. Only Real Salt Lake’s Alvaro Saborio and San Jose’s Chris Wondolowski have more multi-goal performances with five apiece. In 31 games played, Cooper has amassed 16 goals which puts him in third place in the MLS Golden Boot race. He is three goals shy of Juan Pablo Angel’s club single-season record of 19 goals and is in a tie for second with Adolfo Valencia TEAM TO HONOR COACH MICHAEL JONES The New York Red Bulls will be honoring the life of Red Bulls Youth Training Programs coach Michael Jones, who was killed on Sunday, Oct. 7 in New York City, at the team's last regular season home game on Saturday, Oct. 20 at 7:00 PM at Red Bull Arena against Sporting Kansas City. - Prior to kick off, the club asks that all fans join us in a minute of celebration and applause to honor Jones, as a photo montage will be shown in memory of his life and all of the work he did in his five-plus years with the Red Bulls’ youth programs. - On the field, all Red Bulls players will wear black armbands and the No. 6 on their shorts, the number Jones wore throughout his playing career. - Fans may pass along condolences to Jones’ family by stopping by the Youth Training Programs tent in the Interactive Zone outside the arena on Riverbend Drive starting at 5:30 PM. - Armonk United SC, the club team he was coaching at the time of the tragedy, has created a special memorial fund in Jones’ honor.

FULL HOUSE The Red Bulls-Toronto FC match Sept. 29 was played in front of a sellout crowd of 25,017 spectators. It was the second time Red Bull Arena sold out in 2012 – New York’s 3-2 win over D.C. United June 24 was the other time a sellout occurred.
New York’s 3-2 win over Portland on Aug. 19 was the first time that the club has come back from a two-goal deficit in nearly eight years. The last match it occurred was on Sept. 11, 2004 in a 3-2 win over the New England Revolution at Giants Stadium. FIRSTS FOR ROBLES AND SAM Goalkeeper Luis Robles and midfielder Lloyd Sam made their first MLS starts on Sept. 29 in the team’s 4-1 win over Toronto FC. Sam had an impact on the scoresheet, tallying an assist on Kenny Cooper’s first goal of the match. Robles made four saves to earn his first League victory. The Red Bulls acquired Robles via the MLS Allocation Process on Aug. 8. Robles spent the past five seasons in the Germany Bundesliga and was most recently with Karlsruher SC. The 28-year-old started his stint in Germany with FC Kaiserslautern in 2007. He was drafted by D.C. United in the fourth round of the 2007 MLS SuperDraft with the 50 th overall selection out of the University of Portland, where he attended from 2002-06. Despite being drafted, Robles did not sign with United. New York signed Sam on Aug. 16. A native of Leeds, England, Sam joins the Red Bulls after most recently featuring for English League One (third division) side Notts County. Sam also played for Leeds United and started his professional career with English side Charlton Athletic, then of the Premier League, in 2003 at the age of 18. He was also on loan to League One side Leyton Orient, Championship side Sheffield Wednesday and Southend United. SCORING FIRST Since 2010, head coach Hans Backe’s first season in charge of the Red Bulls, the club has a record of 33-0-14 in the regular season matches when they score the first goal. HOME SWEET HOME Red Bull Arena has continued to be one of the toughest places to play in Major League Soccer as the Red Bulls are 11-2-3 at home this year. The Red Bulls’ 2-0 loss to Sporting Kansas City on Sept. 19 was their first home loss of the 2012 season, snapping a 13-match unbeaten streak. It was the Red Bulls’ first regular season loss at home since Sept. 21, 2011 when New York fell to Real Salt Lake 3-1. The Red Bulls were unbeaten in 16 regular season home games until losing to Sporting Kansas City. “GOAL”GERSSON ADDS TO HIS TALLY New York defender Markus Holgresson started the scoring for the Red Bulls on Sept. 29 in their 4-1 win over Toronto FC, heading home a Thierry Henry corner kick. In his first season with the team, Holgersson has started 29 games, tallying three goals – a team high for a defender. LINDPERE’S LATE STRIKE Red Bulls midfielder Joel Lindpere scored his fifth goal of the season on Sept. 22, scoring in second half stoppage time to give New York a temporary 1-0 lead. The Estonian is the club’s top scoring midfielder,
RED BULLS VS. SPORTING KANSAS CITY – OCTOBER 20, 2012 – 7:00 PM ET trailing only Thierry Henry and Kenny Cooper on the team’s overall goal scoring list. Lindpere is also third on the team with five assists and is the only player on the team to appear in all 32 games this season. For his MLS career, Lindpere has 15 goals and 18 assists in 95 appearances.
appearing in 31 matches. In 2010, Palsson signed with English Premier League side Liverpool, but did not appear for the first team. During the 2010-11 season, he was loaned to then-English League One club Dagenham and Redbridge.
DAX ATTACK Dax McCarty added his third goal of the season on Sept. 15 against Columbus, heading home Thierry Henry’s corner kick in the 79th minute to break a 1-1 deadlock. The three goals matches McCarty’s career high for a season, which he attained back in 2009 with FC Dallas. The tally was McCarty’s eighth of his MLS career and was his first-ever gamewinning goal.
On the international stage, Palsson has appeared for Iceland’s Under-19 and Under-21 sides. N.E.C. currently sits in 10th place in the 18-team Eredivisie with a 1-2-0 record through three matches.
RED BULLS SIGN DEFENDER DIGÃO The New York Red Bulls announced Sept. 14 that the club has signed defender Digão.
OWN GOAL HELP The Red Bulls were aided by an own goal for the first time this year on Aug. 26 when Sporting Kansas City forward Kei Kamara inadvertently headed the ball into his own net in the 27 th minute as the Red Bulls and Sporting played to a 1-1 tie. The last time New York scored on an own goal was on June 23, 2011 at Seattle Sounders FC when Zach Scott suffered one in a 4-2 win for Seattle.
At the age of 19 in 2004, Digão (full name: Rodrigo Izecson dos Santos Leite) signed with Italian club A.C. Milan. For two seasons from 2005 through 2007, he was loaned out to fellow Italian side A.C. Rimini, making 23 appearances. Digão returned to Milan for the beginning of the 2007-08 season and made his lone Serie A appearance for the club in March 2008. Since then, the Brazilian defender spent time on loan in Belgium with Standard Liege, in Italy with U.S. Lecce and F.C. Crotone and most recently with Portuguese side F.C. Penafiel in 2010-11, playing in 10 matches. After his stint with Penafiel, his contract with Milan expired. Before turning professional, Digão spent time as a youth player at Brazilian club Sao Paolo and U.C. Sampdoria of Italy before joining the youth ranks at Milan. Digão is the younger brother of Brazilian International and Real Madrid midfielder Kaká.
CAHILL’S FIRST It took just three matches for the Red Bulls’ newest designated player, Australian International Tim Cahill, to find the back of the net. Cahill helped the Red Bulls come back from a two goal deficit and defeat the Portland Timbers on Aug. 19, scoring in the 45 th minute to get the Red Bulls back on level terms entering halftime.
RED BULLS ANNOUNCE SIX YEAR PARTNERSHIP WITH HACKENSACK UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK The New York Red Bulls and Hackensack University Health Network announced a six-year partnership making HackensackUMC the Official Hometown Hospital of the New York Red Bulls.
After being drafted in the second round (31st overall) in the 2012 MLS SuperDraft from Fordham University, Meara earned the starting role in preseason and was a midseason candidate for MLS Rookie of the Year, starting in 18 games for New York and earning a 9-5-4 record and a 1.50 goals against average.

Sporting Kansas City News, Notes and headlines RESULTS | Sporting Kansas City currently sits in first place of the Eastern Conference with a record of 17-7-8 (59 points). The team had a historic start to 2012, garnering seven straight wins to begin the season. However, Kansas City experienced a slight decrease in their momentum losing three games in a row before earning a draw against Western Conference foe Colorado Rapids at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. The momentum was back in Kansas City’s favor as the team won two Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup games against Orlando City SC and Colorado Rapids and added two MLS victories against the San Jose Earthquakes and Toronto FC. Sporting KC then went on the road and earned a tie at CenturyLink Field against Western Conference foe Seattle Sounders. Sporting KC experienced a second short slump in MLS play, suffering a 4-0 defeat to the Philadelphia Union at PPL Park followed by a 1-0 loss to rival Chicago Fire at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park. However, in between the two MLS matches, Sporting Kansas City hosted the Dayton Dutch Lions in Open Cup competition, in which they earned a 3-0 victory to send them to the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup semi-finals. Sporting Kansas City got back on track in MLS competition in July when they beat Montreal 3-1 at Saputo Stadium followed by 0-0 home draw with the Houston Dynamo. Sporting KC then went on the road earning a 2-0 victory over the Columbus Crew moving them back up the standings and into sole possession of first place among Eastern Conference rivals before dropping a 2-1 decision against Houston in their first ever match at BBVA Compass Stadium. Sporting Kansas City returned back to LSP to face the New England Revolution in the first of four consecutive home matches in all-competition. The match resulted in a scoreless draw. Sporting KC then fell to Montpellier Herault SC 3-0 in their first of two international friendlies before losing to Eastern Conference foe Columbus 2-1 despite outshooting the Crew 25-12. Sporting Kansas City then went on to draw 1-1 with EPL side Stoke City FC with a late equalizer in second half stoppage time. After the friendly, Sporting KC earned the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup title after defeating the Seattle Sounders FC in a shootout at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park. Sporting Kansas City next hosted D.C. United and earned a 2-1 victory at LSP followed by a 1-0 road win over Toronto FC at BMO Field. Upon arrival back to the States, Sporting Kansas City earned a 1-1 draw against the New York Red Bulls and a 2-1 victory over Toronto FC before salvaging a point with a second half stoppage time goal against the Houston Dynamo. And most recently, Sporting KC beat the New York Red Bulls 2-0 at Red Bull Arena, earned one point in a scoreless draw at Saputo Stadium, then returned home to defeat the Chicago Fire 2-0 before earning a 1-1 draw against the Columbus Crew. Sporting Kansas City is now undefeated in ten consecutive matches in MLS competition.
LAMAR HUNT U.S. OPEN CUP CHAMPIONS | Sporting Kansas City was crowned the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Champions for the first time since 2004 after beating the Seattle Sounders FC at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park 3-2 in penalty kicks after a 1-1 draw in regulation. Sporting KC took the lead on a Kei Kamara penalty kick in the 84th minute after a hand ball by Zach Scott. The goal marked Kamara’s second goal in U.S. Open Cup competition since joining Kansas City. Just two minutes later, Seattle’s Scott got a bit of redemption when he notched the equalizer off a free kick from Rosales. After two overtime periods the match was still tied and headed to a best-of-five shootout. Sporting KC, shooting first, began with Kamara’s second successful attempt of the night. The Sounders would match it with a make of their own through Brad Evans’ shot to his left. Gspurning gave his team the advantage with a stop on Espinoza and Seattle momentarily led following Marc Burch’s blast down the middle. Besler pulled Sporting KC back level with a shot off the underside of the crossbar and into the back of the net. Alonso and Zusi both sent their shots over the crossbar in back-to-back attempts, and Nielsen made a superb save to his left to deny Christian Tiffert to send it to the fifth and final penalty kick with it all to be decided. Nagamura’s initial attempt was saved by Gspurning, but he was ruled to have come off his line early and the Brazilian calmly converted the ensuing second chance to his left to put Sporting KC ahead in dramatic fashion. Johnson walked to the spot with LIVESTRONG Sporting Park in a frenzy, needing to score to keep Seattle alive. Back in Kansas City for the first time since he played with the then-Wizards in 2007, Johnson’s shot sailed over the crossbar and brought an end to the shootout with Seattle’s third straight miss from the mark. Prior to the shootout loss, the Sounders had won three straight U.S. Open Cups, and had not been bested in the competition since August 12, 2008, when they were still a United Soccer League franchise. WHEN THEY LAST MET | Sporting Kansas City and the New York Red Bulls last met at Red Bull Arena on September 19. Sporting KC secured the road win with two goals in the first twenty minutes. C.J. Sapong opened the scoring after Graham Zusi shot a free kick off the crossbar and the rebound landed in the path of Matt Besler. The Overland Park native sent the ball back towards goal where Sapong calmly turned and show low past Bill Gaudette. Just seven minutes later Zusi’s corner kick was met by a leaping Kei Kamara at the near post. Kamara’s header also beat Gaudette to give Sporting KC the 2-0 victory.
