The Red Bulls gained home-field advantage for the Knockout Round game by putting an end to a seven-game winless streak on the road in the 2-0 win at Sporting KC. It was their first win away from Red Bull Arena since June 8; the Red Bulls had a seven-game home winning streak ended Oct. 19. “This was one of the more enjoyable games since I’ve been a coach, because you put a game plan out and you watch it executed, it’s a fun thing,” said Red Bulls head coach Mike Petke. “That’s not always the case, but these guys were disciplined, they did exactly what we wanted to do and I’m happy for them. We didn’t celebrate like we won anything. It’s just a good thing now we can go home and have a home game.” ... Bradley WrightPhillips equaled the all-time MLS single-season goalscoring record with two goals, finishing the year with 27 league goals. “The 27 goals, they almost don’t matter now. It’s a new season for me,” said Wright-Phillips. “I want to be the top goal scorer or up there in the playoffs. I want to get as many goals as I can. It’s a new season, so that’s how I’m going to treat it. When you see me on Thursday, I’ll be as hungry ever.” ... Thierry Henry missed out on the season finale with Achilles tendon inflammation. “You could see in the Columbus game that there were a number of players that were just a little bit off. … He was one of those guys and I think he started really feeling both of them after,” Petke said. “The reason why we left him home is really because if it was just one of them like it’s been in the past, we’d have him come and get some treatment. But the fact that both were flaring up, it was not a difficult decision.” ... The Red Bulls ended the season with two wins and a draw in their three meetings with Sporting KC. Wright-Phillips scored four of the Red Bulls' five goals vs. SKC. “The thing that stuck out was defensively we limited Kansas City’s chances,” said goalkeeper Luis Robles. “Realistically, they only had the one in the beginning with [Dom] Dwyer and after that we won every second ball, were chasing balls down and it was a performance that we can really be proud of.” Sporting KC begin defense of their 2013 MLS Cup title with losses in their last two regular season matches, and two wins overall in their last 10 games. “It's what we have right now,” midfielder Paulo Nagamura said. “We cannot make any excuse. We have to deal with who we have in our group now. It's a short turnaround, only four days, but we're playing the team we just played, and the guys are going to come back with a different energy and mentality, I believe.” Said defender Matt Besler: “We still feel we're one of the best teams in the league. We've been through a lot of experiences. We've gotten knocked out of the playoffs. We've been knocked out at home. We've won cups. We've played in [CONCACAF] Champions League. We feel like we have a lot of experience.” ... Sporting have some real injury concerns entering the Knockout Round match. Midfielder Benny Feilhaber suffered a sprained ankle in the CONCACAF Champions League match vs. Deportivo Saprissa at midweek before the season finale, and is questionable. As well, fullback Igor Juliao suffered a hamstring strain in the same match. “Our mindset has to be on getting recovered,” SKC manager Peter Vermes said. “The difficulty we have at the moment is that we’ve played a boatload of games with a squad that’s already been depleted, and we keep trying to plug holes, and it hasn’t been easy.” ... Both teams faced CONCACAF matches at midweek before the season finale, but Sporting saw three of their first-choice back four play the full 90 minutes in that match and the MLS season finale. “To me, this isn’t a bad loss from the point of view that the guys fought and tried,” Vermes said. “They’re just tired. One is you make technical or tactical errors and the other is you make psychological errors when you’re tired, and the guys are.” Said fullback Seth Sinovic: “Every team has guys who are fatigued. It's late in the year. It's going to be pretty common. But that's not really an excuse for tonight. We didn't play as well as we're capable of. We got beat at our own place, and we're not happy about that. But that's all in the past now. It's a new season. It's the playoffs.”

He stripped Aurelien Collin of the ball at the top left corner of the penalty area and then drove to the middle of the box, before cutting back across his body and firing into the center of the goal.

RED BULLS VS. SPORTING KANSAS CITY–KNOCKOUT ROUND – OCTOBER 30, 2014 – 8:00 PM ET
BULLETIN BOARD RED BULLS HOST SPORTING KC IN KNOCKOUT ROUND The New York Red Bulls earned a 2-0 win at Sporting Park on October 26 in the club's regular-season finale. With the win, New York finished in fourth place in the Eastern Conference and will host Sporting Kansas City on Thursday night at Red Bull Arena in a single-game knockout match. The winner of Thursday's knockout round match will advance to the Conference Semifinals to take on D.C. United in a two-leg, aggregate goals series. Kickoff for Thursday's match is set for 8:00 PM ET with ESPN2 televising the game nationally. Forward Bradley Wright-Phillips scored both of New York's goals in Sunday's win and tied the single-season scoring record of 27 goals set by Chris Wondolowski (2012) and Roy Lassiter (1996). With his 27-goal season, the Englishman earned the 2014 Golden Boot Award as well, becoming the first player in franchise history to win the award. QUICK NOTES – This year marks New York’s 11th playoff appearance in 12 seasons. – This will be the fifth consecutive year the Red Bulls host a home playoff game. The team has lost the previous four contests, dating back to 2010 when Red Bull Arena opened. – If New York advances past the knockout game, the first leg of the twogame Eastern Conference Quarterfinals against top-seed D.C. United would take place on Sunday, November 1 at 4:00 PM (TV: Univision Deportes). The second match at RFK Stadium would be on Saturday, November 8th at 2:30 p.m. (TV: NBC). – Second year head coach Mike Petke followed up last year’s late season run for the Supporter’s Shield by going 6-2-1 over the final two months of the season to climb into fourth place in the Eastern Conference standings. – The Red Bulls went 2-0-1 against Sporting KC in the regular season. The teams tied, 1-1, in May, before the Red Bulls took victories in September, 2-1 at home, and earned home field advantage with a 2-0 win at Sporting Park last Sunday. – Sporting KC dropped to the fifth seed in the east after going 3-8-2 since the start of August. They dropped their final two games, against Philadelphia and New York, to squander third place, and then home field advantage, for the knockout game. – The win Sunday gives the Red Bulls the edge in all-time series, 20-19-12. Thursday will be the first-ever playoff meeting between the two sides. RED BULLS WIN REGULAR-SEASON FINALE IN KANSAS CITY Forward Bradley Wright-Phillips tied the all-time MLS single-season goals record of 27, scoring both of New York's tallies in a 2-0 road win over Sporting Kansas City on October 26. Red Bulls goalkeeper Luis Robles made a terrific save to keep the game scoreless in the eighth minute, going to his left to deny Dom Dwyer's leftfooted shot. That stop would be important, as Wright-Phillips put New York up front in the 15th minute with his 26th goal of the season. Eric Alexander had the ball in the midfield and played it through to Wright-Phillips, who got the ball on his right foot and slotted it into the back of the net. Lloyd Sam nearly doubled the visitors' advantage 12 minutes later, blasting a deflected shot just off the mark. On the other end, Robles made another key save, this time on a Paulo Nagamura's long-range attempt.
Wright-Phillips tied the all-time MLS single season goals record in the 70th minute. The Englishman dispossessed Aurelien Collin deep in Sporting KC's half and juked into the box before putting it home for his 27th goal of the year. Wright-Phillips, who matched the mark set by Roy Lassiter and Chris Wondolowski, had other chances later to break the record but could not complete this hat trick.

LAST TIME THEY MET
•
The clubs last met in the 2014 MLS regular season on Oct. 26 at Sporting Park. Sporting KC fell 2-0 to the New York Red Bulls as Bradley Wright-Phillips scored both goals for the visitors, tying the MLS single-season goal scoring record with 27 goals in 2014. Wright-Phillips first of the match came with a right-footed finish past Eric Kronberg in the 15th minute. Eric Alexander earned the assist, his ninth of the season, as Wright-Phillips scored his first road goal since July 16. The Englishman doubled New York’s lead with 20 minutes to play and in doing so became the third player in MLS history to record 27 goals in a season. Winning the ball from Aurelien Collin deep in his attacking third, Wright-Phillips cut inside and placed his shot into the back of the net for his sixth multi-goal game of the season. Thursday is the fourth meeting between the teams this year. They battled to a 1-1 draw on May 27 at Sporting Park before New York won 2-1 on Sept. 6. The clubs have met 51 times in the regular season since 1996, but Thursday marks the first ever playoff match between the teams.

Sporting KC Game Notes | Oct. 30, 2014 at New York Red Bulls | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes
SPORTING KC NEWS & NOTES Sporting KC’s depth tested throughout 2014 season
Through 34 games in the 2014 MLS regular season, Sporting KC featured 32 different starting lineups. Peter Vermes’ lineup selection has been complicated by several factors throughout the year. In March, the club had to balance multiple competitions during the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals. In May, schedule congestion came to the forefront with seven MLS games during the month. In July and August, goalkeepers Eric Kronberg and Andy Gruenebaum suffered injuries, giving Jon Kempin his first career MLS start. To complicate matters, Chance Myers and Ike Opara have suffered seasonending injuries; Matt Besler, Graham Zusi and Lawrence Olum have seen extended international action; and Erik Palmer-Brown, Aurelien Collin, Dom Dwyer, Benny Feilhaber and Seth Sinovic have served one-game suspensions. As a result, 30 different players have started an MLS match for the club this season, a team record and most in the League. Of those 30 players, 12 were 23 years of age or younger at the start of the season. The club’s defense has been stretched most of all, with eight different players featuring in the centerback position during the 2014 campaign. Sporting KC is just the 14th team in MLS history to start 30 different players in a single regular season. Of the previous 13 clubs to do so, only one has finished the year with a winning record (2008 Chivas USA, 12-11-7). Vermes’ 1413-7 mark this season is no small accomplishment given the forced reshuffling of his squad throughout the 2014 campaign.
Sporting KC a consistent contender in MLS
Since the beginning of 2011, Sporting KC has the third best aggregate regular season record (62-39-35, .585 winning percentage) and the best road record (28-24-16, .529 winning percentage) of all MLS teams. During this time period, Sporting KC is the only team to win both the MLS Cup (2013) and U.S. Open Cup (2012). It is also the only club with multiple regular season conference titles (2011, 2012).
Sporting Park sellout streak
Sporting Park has sold out 53 straight MLS matches, including four playoff games. Since opening in June 2011, the venue has sold out 66 of 74 MLS games and averaged 19,330 spectators, 104.7 percent of its 18,467 capacity. Throughout the 2014 home campaign, Sporting Park’s average attendance was 20,003. The stadium’s 108.3 percent capacity this season ranks first in the League (excluding CenturyLink Field in Seattle, where official capacity is 38,500 but expands to 67,000 for select matches).

Dwyer named Sporting KC Offensive Player of the Year and Co-MVP
Forward Dom Dwyer’s breakout season garnered Sporting KC Offensive Player of the Year and Co-Most Valuable Player recognition. In his third year with the club, he topped Kansas City’s all-time single-season scoring chart with 22 MLS goals, while his 23 goals in all competitions are also a franchise best. Dwyer was second in the MLS Golden Boot race behind Bradley WrightPhillips (27 goals). Major League Soccer’s Player of the Month in May, he scored in four straight MLS games on two separate occasions in 2014 and bagged six game-winning goals, second most in MLS and tied for the most in a singleseason in club history. His 14 left-footed goals, seven penalty kick goals and five headed goals were also League-bests.
Zusi named Sporting KC Co-Most Valuable Player
Winger Graham Zusi earned a share of team MVP honors for a third straight season. He has five goals and eight assists in 25 MLS matches to go along with an assist in the 2013/14 CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals. The 28-year-old playmaker leads the team in assists for a fourth straight season and is the only MLS player with at least five goals and seven assists in each of the past four years. Zusi’s 70 successful crosses/corners in 2014 are most in MLS, as are his 349 chances created in MLS competition (including playoffs) since 2011. Zusi’s 39 career assists are third most on the team’s all-time charts and his 22 goals rank 10th most in club history. Sporting KC is 17-0-2 all-time when he scores in an MLS match. The Co-MVP award comes on the heels of a World Cup performance in which Zusi registered two assists in four appearances for the United States. He has earned 28 caps since his international debut in January 2012, notching three goals and six assists for the U.S.
Sinovic tabbled Sporting KC Defender of the Year
Left back Seth Sinovic was named Sporting KC’s Defender of the Year on Oct. 11. A regular starter on a backline that has allowed the fewest shots among all MLS teams in 2014, Sinovic led all Sporting KC players in interceptions (77) and minutes played (2,755) during the regular season while contributing three assists across all competition. The 27-year-old Leawood, Kansas native ranked third among MLS defenders with 2,085 touches and fourth at his position with 1,281 passes and 291 duels. Since 2011, no player in Major League Soccer has contributed to more shutouts than Sinovic in MLS competition (47 including postseason). Over that span, he’s played in 63 MLS victories (including postseason), which is fifth most among MLS players.
Dovale and Juliao share Sporting KC Newcomer of the Year honors
In their first MLS seasons, winger Antonio Dovale and defender Igor Juliao shared Sporting KC Newcomer of the Year distinction on Oct. 11. Dovale, 24, has four goals and four assists across all competition while playing wide in Sporting KC’s 4-3-3 formation. The Spaniard has scored three of those goals in the 2014-15 CONCACAF Champions League Group Stage to become tied for second on the club’s all-time scoring chart in international matches. Juliao, 20, has contributed three assists in all competition as a right back and led all MLS defenders with 39 dribbles completed and 52 fouls suffered in 2014. During a season that saw Sporting KC suit up the youngest field player (Erik Palmer-Brown, 17) and goalkeeper (Jon Kempin, 21) in MLS this year, Juliao became the youngest player in club history to start 20 MLS matches for the team.
Feilhaber nets Sporting KC Goal of the Year
For the second straight season, Benny Feilhaber claimed Sporting KC Goal of the Year bragging rights. The World Cup veteran received the recognition for his game-winning goal in the final minute of a 2-1 victory at Columbus on July 16, the team’s latest game-winning goal of the season to date. In his fourth MLS season, the 29-year-old set career-highs in games played (31) and games started (30) en route to recording five goals and seven assists across all competition. Named MLS Player of the Month in July, the two-way midfielder led the team with 45 chances created from open play, 57 tackles won, 227 recoveries, 1,542 passes and 2,085 touches.

MLS POSTSEASON FORMAT Ten clubs, the top five in points from each conference at the end of the regular season, qualify for the 2014 MLS Cup Playoffs. The fourth and fifth place teams in each conference will play a single knockout game, with the winner advancing to the Conference Semifinals to face the first place team in the conference. The four Conference Semifinals and two Conference Championships will be decided by two-game aggregate series, with the lower seed hosting the first leg and the higher seed hosting the second leg. If the aggregate score is tied after 180 minutes of play, away goals will serve as a tiebreaker. If the series remains tied, two 15-minute extra time periods will be played, followed by penalty kicks, if necessary. The away goals tiebreaker will not apply to overtime in the 2nd leg of any two-legged playoff series. MLS Cup will be a single championship match on Dec. 7 hosted by the finalist with the most regular season points.
