Amaya Named to 22 Under 22

Haris gets the armband

•

• •

Frankie Amaya was named as the 15th-best player under the age of 22 years old in MLS’ annual 22 Under 22 list on Oct. 21 The rankings reflect the votes submitted by a panel of 18 individuals comprising: Ten members of the MLS Media team, two members of the MLS Player Department and two youth soccer experts The panel ranked the eligible players based on the following criteria: technical ability, tactical IQ, physical attributes and future potential. The writeup on Amaya states “Being the No. 1 SuperDraft pick of an expansion team that struggled mightily out of the gates challenged Amaya greatly; in 2020 he showed he’s coming to terms with the pro level, flashing defensive muscle and work rate in addition to his passing vision as he grows into a versatile modern central midfielder.”

•

Pair of debuts • •

Vazquez adds second goal • • •

In Kendall Waston’s absence, midfielder Haris Medunjanin has worn the captain’s armband in each of FC Cincinnati’s last four matches Medunjanin was named captain for the first time on Oct. 11 against Toronto FC and it marked the first time someone other than Waston wore the captain’s armband for the Orange and Blue this season Medunjanin became the fifth player in FCC’s MLS history to start a match as captain, joining Waston (40), Nick Hagglund (4), Justin Hoyte (4) and Greg Garza (2)

“(They are) a good team. A lot of individual quality in their side, as well. In the past couple games, they changed their side as well due to internationals being away. Players (are) coming back, so they’re in full strength now again on Wednesday, when they face us. Like you’re saying, they’re top of the league. An interesting game, again, for us to see and what we can bring against them. We always – in the games that we’re playing, in the opposition that we’re facing – we’re always trying to get something out of it. That’s what we’ve done last week, we didn’t get the result that we deserved, or that we wanted. You know, the game on Wednesday is again, a game for us to show ourselves in terms of going forward, trying to create opportunities and hopefully scoring and getting a point at least, but of course, always having the aim to go for three points. And that’s what we’re trying to do on Wednesdays well. Also looking, of course, and respecting the opposition and what they can bring and what they can do. But, you know, we just want to go forward, we just want to go and win. In our last games that we’ve played, we’ve been close. Again, that’s what we’re trying to achieve. And you know, it’s not going to be easy because of the the quality of the opposition, but it doesn’t mean that that we can’t go for it, which we are going to do.” - FCC head coach Jaap Stam on Sporting Kansas City

“I think it’s, it’s a bittersweet moment. And I think it’s bitter in the sense of where and how this club has grown in large part because of Nippert and the people that have shown up for games over the last two-and-a-half years. I think next year will be an awesome experience for the club going into the new stadium, but the club wouldn’t be where it is today without those gameday experiences at Nippert and that’s due mostly to the fans, to be honest and the atmosphere that they bring to that stadium. So, it’s been a great temporary home for this club for certainly since I’ve been here and watching from afar for the couple years before that, and you know that the stadium next year will be incredible. But surely, there’ll be something about Nippert that will be missed.” - FCC goalkeeper Spencer Richey on the final match at Nippert Stadium

Sporting KC Game Notes | October 28, 2020 at FC Cincinnati | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #CINvSKC: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#CINvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City is set to play their penultimate road game on the team’s schedule this Wednesday when the side pays a visit to Ohio to face FC Cincinnati at Nippert Stadium. Sporting’s only other road match remaining in 2020 sees the side visit Real Salt Lake on Decision Day, although a postponed road match with the Colorado Rapids has yet to be determined if it will be played or not. Sporting KC has only taken on FC Cincinnati once in the club’s history, with Cincy joining MLS as an expansion franchise in the 2019 season. Sporting visited Nippert Stadium on April 7, 2019 - in between Concacaf Champions League Semifinal legs against C.F. Monterrey - and battled to a 1-1 draw. Playing with a heavily rotated lineup, Sporting fell behind in the first half when Darren Mattocks converted from the penalty spot. However, midway through the second period, Kelyn Rowe’s ball from midfield caused confusion between the Cincinnati goalkeeper and defense, allowing Gianluca Busio to steal in and slide home the equalizer. Of the 14 players that participated in that game for Sporting KC, only five remain on the roster (Andreu Fontas, Ilie Sanchez, Gianluca Busio, Johnny Russell and Felipe Gutierrez). FC Cincinnati has toiled since their entry into Major League Soccer. The Ohio club finished their expansion season dead last in the Eastern Conference with a 6-22-6 record, and their 24 points amassed was 13 points fewer than the second lowest finisher. Cincinnati also conceded a league-record 75 goals in 2019. In 2020, Cincinnati thought they’d turned a new leaf when the side went 2-1-0 in the MLS is Back Tournament group stage, but have since stumbled under new head coach Jaap Stam and have won just two of their 15 games since returning to home markets. Cincinnati has also scored a league-low 11 goals, eight fewer than any other team.

Sporting KC Team Notes • After collecting 10 wins during a 34-game regular season in 2019, Sporting has needed just 19 matches to equal that total in 2020. • During the month of October, Sporting is tied for the MLS lead with four wins and 13 points (4-1-1 record). • Sporting have scored in 18 of their 19 regular season matches this season, including nine of 10 matches away from home. • Sporting have outscored opponents 17-8 after the 60th minute this season. • Fourteen of Sporting’s 19 regular season matches this season have been decided by one goal or less (6-5-3 record). • Sporting rank second in MLS in shots per game (15.2) and also lead the league in fewest shots faced per game (9.3). • Sporting are the only MLS team to have five players with at least four regular season goals (Johnny Russell 6, Alan Pulido 6, Gadi Kinda 6, Khiry Shelton 4 and Erik Hurtado 4). Similarly, they are one of only three teams (Philadelphia and Portland) to have three players with at least six goals).

Sporting KC Game Notes | October 28, 2020 at FC Cincinnati | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes JUMPING INTO FIRST PLACE

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

KINDA FORM KINDLING

After surging into first place in the West with Saturday’s 4-0 home win over the Colorado Rapids, Sporting Kansas City is looking to seal a spot in the 2020 MLS Cup Playoffs this week when the side travels East to take on FC Cincinnati at Nippert Stadium on Wednesday night. Let’s start with the basics...

Sporting Kansas City midfielder Gadi Kinda was back to his devastating best during Saturday night’s 4-0 victory over the Colorado Rapids at Children’s Mercy Park. Kinda scored for the second game running, firing home the third goal of the night in the 88th minute. The goal was Kinda’s sixth of the year, and he’s now tied with Alan Pulido and Johnny Russell for the team lead in that category in MLS regular-season play.

• The top eight teams in the West will secure a spot in the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs, which will be played in single-elimination matchups. • The top four teams in the West will have home field advantage in the postseason’s opening round (1v8, 2v7, 3v6 and 4v5). • The top team in the West will qualify for the Concacaf Champions League, the region’s premier international competition for clubs from North America, Central America and the Caribbean.

Looking strictly at first-year players in 2020, Pulido and Kinda both have strong claims for MLS Newcomer of the Year accolades. They are two of only four newcomers to record eight combined goals and primary assists this season, joining Chicago’s Robert Beric and Inter Miami’s Lewis Morgan. Including secondary assists, Kinda has six goals and three assists on the season.

FONTAS EARNS PLAUDITS AFTER LAST-MINUTE START

From there, it gets complicated. Five Western Conference matches involving the Colorado Rapids are currently postponed, including a matchup with Sporting Kansas City originally scheduled for Sept. 27 but later moved to Oct. 21, as well as a Western Conference match between FC Dallas and Minnesota United. Major League Soccer announced on Oct. 12 that the league is evaluating options for rescheduling the impacted matches, however a decision has not yet been announced.

When lineups were submitted to the referees an hour prior to Saturday night’s clash with the Colorado Rapids at Children’s Mercy Park, Sporting Kansas City defender Andreu Fontas was set to start the game on the bench with centerbacks Roberto Puncec and Winston Reid set to start for the second consecutive game. However, when Reid felt some tightness in his groin during warmups, Fontas was called upon to deputize at a moment’s notice.

Should MLS add no more games to the schedule and allow the standings to be decided by total points, Sporting Kansas City has already secured a top-eight finish in the Western Conference. If no changes are made to the remaining schedule, Sporting has also secured a top-eight finish in the Western Conference based on points per game.

The match couldn’t have gone much better for the Catalonian. In just his second appearance after returning from Achilles surgery over a year ago, Fontas was steady at the back, guiding Sporting to their fifth clean sheet of the season, while he also scored his first goal for the club midway through the second half with the second of an eventual 4-0 victory. It was his professional goal since scoring for Spanish side Celta Vigo in January 2017.

However, if games are rescheduled, Sporting KC would need one more point this season to lock up a top-eight seed in the West. A draw would bump Sporting KC to 34 points and 1.48 points point game, which is higher than Houston, Vancouver or San Jose can amass, while Sporting would have the wins tiebreaker on Real Salt Lake.

The 30-year-old Barcelona academy product became the first MLS player since the dawn of the Opta era in 2010 to record a goal, two clearances, two interceptions, two tackles, 10 recoveries and 65 successful passes in a shutout victory. Fontas was rewarded with a spot on the bench of the MLS Team of the Week.

CINCINNATI CALLING

Sporting Kansas City heads East this week to take on cellar-dwelling FC Cincinnati at Nippert Stadium on Wednesday night. It’s a clash between first in the West and last in the East, as Cincinnati has limped to a 4-12-4 record in 2020, and have won just twice since returning from the MLS is Back Tournament over the summer.

ZUSI UNDERGOES SUCCESSFUL FOOT SURGERY

Sporting Kansas City announced last week that defender Graham Zusi underwent successful surgery to repair a midfoot sprain in his left foot. The procedure was performed under the care of orthopedic surgeon Dr. Kirk McCullough at the Kansas City Orthopaedic Institute. Zusi will be sidelined for the remainder of the 2020 MLS season and is expected to miss four to five months during his rehabilitation.

Sporting and Cincinnati faced off once in the Ohio club’s expansion season in 2019, with the game ending in a 1-1 draw on April 7, 2019. Finding themselves in between legs of their Concacaf Champions League Semifinal with C.F. Monterrey, Sporting rotated heavily on their lone trip to Nippert Stadium last year, with only five players that participated that day still on the club’s roster.

Zusi, 34, started 19 of 20 appearances for Sporting this year, contributing to four shutouts and recording a goal and an assist. His 294 regular season appearances since joining Sporting out of the 2009 MLS SuperDraft are tied with teammate Matt Besler for the most in club history. Zusi is a seven-time MLS All-Star and a 2014 World Cup veteran who earned 55 caps for the United States Men’s National Team from 2012-2017.

Buoyed by a boistrous home crowd, Cincinnati raced out to a first half lead when Darren Mattocks fired beyond Adrian Zendejas from the penalty spot to give the hosts the halftime lead. Sporting found their footing on the Nippert Stadium astroturf in the second half and secured a point when Kelyn Rowe’s long ball was misjudged by goalkeeper and defender, allowing Gianluca Busio to fire into an empty net in the second half.

COACH SPEAK: PETER VERMES

On whether the team has received enough credit this season: “I really don’t pay too much mind to what people are saying about us. When you win, you get respect. When you don’t, you don’t. We’re in first place right now. We’ve still got games left and we’ve got to keep working to try to get into the playoffs in the best position we can. That’s all we’re focused on.”

Cincinnati ended their expansion season 13 points adrift at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, conceding a league-record 75 goals along the way. This year, the problems have been on the other end of the field, as Cincinnati’s 11 goals scored in 20 games are eight fewer than any other team in MLS.

On earning respect with a strong showing: “We just won a game tonight. At the end of the season, you need to come away with something. We’re still in a dog fight here. We’ve still got games left. Again, I’m not really too worried about what everybody thinks right now. I’m just trying to get ready now for the next match against Cincinnati on Wednesday.”

PULIDO MARKS RETURN WITH GAME-WINNER

After missing Sporting’s previous four matches for international duty with Mexico, Sporting Kansas City striker Alan Pulido picked up where he left off by sinking the sixth goal of an excellent debut MLS campaign to open the scoring in Saturday night’s 4-0 drubbing of the Colorado Rapids at Children’s Mercy Park.

On the insertion of Andreu Fontas into the lineup: “I thought he was very good. He read the game well. He’s always very good on the ball and very confident. He’s one of the better players we have coming out of the back. I thought that his decisions defensively were very good. He put himself in good places on the field and he didn’t give space away. He was solid.”

The prolific forward, who joined Sporting on a club-record transfer fee, has lived up to the billing as one of the league’s most complete attackers. Among players with 10 or fewer starts this season, Pulido’s 10 combined goals (six) and assists (four) are the most in MLS. On Saturday, the Mexican tied Kansas City’s single-game club record with six shots on target, five of which were saved by Rapids goalkeeper William Yarbrough. Pulido’s performance earned him a deserved spot on the MLS Team of the Week.

On the return of Alan Pulido after international duty: “I think in the first half, as a team, we lacked sharpness and we were a little bit off in being alert in the game because a lot of balls were squeaking through or squeaking by. We weren’t ready for them. Second half, I thought the team was totally different. He proved again why he’s a goal scorer. He made that goal that he scored – probably a little bit of disappointment, a little bit of anger, a little bit of everything because he knows he should have had one in the first half – so he made that goal happen. He’s a pure goal scorer. He did a lot of really good things for us in the run of play, as well. He holds the ball up. He gets us out of stuff. He’s a top-class forward. We missed him, too, but the other guys did a good job while he was away.”

With six goals in 11 total regular season appearances, Pulido currently checks in at 0.55 goals per match. Among players with at least five goals scored in a single season for Sporting, the only other player in the past 13 years with a higher goals per game rate is Dom Dwyer, who totaled 22 goals across 33 games in 2014. Pulido’s form will surely have him in the conversation for MLS Newcomer of the Year, as he, along with teammate Gadi Kinda, are two of only four newcomers to record eight combined goals and primary assists this season, joining Chicago’s Robert Beric and Inter Miami’s Lewis Morgan.

July 17, 2020 vs. COL Dave Gantar Rubiel Vazquez COL Yellow Card Overturned, Red Card SKC’s Khiry Shelton is brought down by COL’s Danny Wilson while through on goal. Referee Dave Gantar initially shows Wilson a yellow card, but after consulting with his VAR, changes his decision to a red card for denial of an obvious goalscoring opportunity. July 17, 2020 vs. COL Dave Gantar Rubiel Vazquez SKC No Penalty Overturned, Penalty SKC’s Graham Zusi whips in a cross from the right that deflects off COL’s Diego Rubio’s elbow and out for a corner.

Sporting KC Game Notes | October 28, 2020 at FC Cincinnati | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes Manager & Sporting Director | 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 is in his 12th season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2020 and is the longest-tenured active head coach in MLS. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 188 coaching victories in all competitions are the most club history. During his tenure, he has won four major trophies – the 2012, 2015 and 2017 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups and the 2013 MLS Cup championship – and finished atop the Eastern Conference regularseason standings in 2011 and 2012, as well as the Western Conference in 2018. His three U.S. Open Cup championships are the third most in Open Cup history. He is the first coach in club history to lead Sporting KC to eight 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 153 regular-season wins top the club’s all-time chart and rank fifth 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.

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 before both were overtaken by Matt Besler early in 2018. 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.

On August 4, 2018, Vermes coached his 302nd MLS regular-season game with Sporting KC, becoming the league’s all-time leader in games coached for one club. He was named the first-ever MLS Sporting Executive of the Year by his peers in 2018. Vermes has coached 437 total games during his Kansas City coaching career, most in club history.

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.

With over 10 years of service at Sporting KC, Vermes is one of the longest serving managers in world soccer. Among all 18 leagues with an average attendance of 10,000+, Vermes ranks second, only behind 2. Bundesliga side FC Heidenheim’s Frank Schmidt (Sept. 17, 2007 – present). Among the top 51 leagues in the world as denoted by the CIES Football Observatory, Vermes’ tenure at Sporting KC ranks as the fourth longest active run.

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.

Vermes oversees all soccer operations for Sporting KC, including the active roster, Sporting Kansas City II (USL Championship) and the Sporting KC Academy. Vermes entered MLS ahead of its inaugural season in 1996 and 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.

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.

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.

In 2007 Savic switched to the outdoor game, joining Chivas USA as an assistant to then-head coach Preki before moving into the commentary booth for Kansas City matches in 2008 and 2009. Savic’s career as a commentator was cut short, however, when newly installed Manager Peter Vermes tabbed Savic to be part of his coaching staff late in the 2009 season.

Vermes was an integral part of a young U.S. team at the 1990 World Cup in Italy, where he nearly scored 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 Figueres of the Spanish Second Division.

Goalkeeper Coach | Alec Dufty Goalkeeper coach Alec Dufty enters his third season with Sporting Kansas City having been introduced to the organization as the Sporting KC II goalkeeper coach in the side’s inaugural season in 2016. In his first season working with Sporting KC’s goalkeepers, starting goalkeeper Tim Melia enjoyed a record-breaking season where he was named the 2017 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year.

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. Vermes joined Kansas City in 2000 for what would be the most successful season 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 209 MLS matches (including playoffs) and playing more than 18,000 minutes. In 2013, Vermes was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame. Year

A former MLS player, Dufty began his playing career with the New York Red Bulls in 2009, making one appearance before joining the MLS reserve goalkeeper pool. In 2010, Dufty joined USSF D2 Pro League side AC St. Louis, making 30 appearances before returning to MLS with the Chicago Fire in late 2010. He announced his retirement at the conclusion of the 2011 season. Dufty then took to coaching, first working with Florida Gulf Coast University and then the University of Illinois at Chicago. In 2015, Dufty served as goalkeeper coach for Toronto FC II in their inaugural USL season.
