Sporting Kansas City is set to begin their 2020 MLS Cup Playoffs campaign this Sunday afternoon when the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference hosts the No. 8 seed San Jose Earthquakes at Children’s Mercy Park in the Western Conference Quarterfinals. It’ll mark the first meeting between the two sides in 2020.

Since late 2016, Sporting has gone 6-1-1 against San Jose. All-time, Sporting is 27-25-8 against San Jose, and 21-8-1 at home. Sporting last suffered a home loss to the Earthquakes on Aug. 19, 2015 - when San Jose dished out a 5-0 thrashing.

In 2019, the two sides split the regular-season series 1-1-0 with both teams claiming victory on their home patch. On April 20, 2019l, San Jose cruised to a 4-1 victory at Avaya Stadium. Danny Hoesen scored twice in the first half before Krisztian Nemeth missed a penalty for SKC. In the second period, Shea Salinas and Magnus Eriksson tallied for the hosts before Felipe Gutierrez pulled one back from the spot.

Sporting came from behind to pick up three points in the return fixture on Aug. 17, 2019 at Children’s Mercy Park. Chris Wondolowski opened the scoring for San Jose in the first half, but second-half goals from Benny Feilhaber and Graham Smith saw Sporting erase the deficit and secure victory.

Sporting KC and San Jose have met twice in the postseason - in 2003 and 2004.

San Jose claimed a 3-2 victory over the then Kansas City Wizards at Spartan Stadium in the Western Conference Final on their way to winning MLS Cup in 2003, but Sporting earned a measure of revenge the following year, overturning a 2-0 deficit from the first leg to advance 3-2 on aggregate in the Western Conference Semifinals.

Typically unveiled at the Pitch Black ceremony, the awards were instead announced over social media with Pitch Black unable to take place during the COVID-19 pandemic. Votes from supporters determined the following award winners:

Sporting Kansas City and San Jose have met in two previous editions of the MLS Cup Playoffs. San Jose earned a 3-2 extra-time home win in the 2003 Western Conference Final, before Sporting claimed a 3-2 aggregative victory in the 2004 Western Conference Semifinals, erasing a 2-0 first-leg deficit with a famous 3-0 home win in the second leg at Arrowhead Stadium.

ESPINOZA RALLIES SUPPORT FOR HONDURAS RELIEF

With Hurricane Eta devastating large parts of Central America, Sporting Kansas City midfielder and Honduran international Roger Espinoza rallied support for his home country by leading a coalition of players across Major League Soccer to support Hurricane Eta relief.

Sporting’s first-place finish in the West was the fourth time Manager & Sporting Director Peter Vermes has guided his side to the summit in the past 10 years, with no other team accomplishing that feat more than twice.

WILDCARD EARTHQUAKES VISIT IN ROUND ONE

The devastating effects of Hurricane Eta over the last two weeks have left Honduras with widespread flooding, mudslides and a shortage of essential supplies, especially for children. Because the aftermath of the storm has made social distancing difficult for citizens, Honduras has also struggled to stop potential spread of COVID-19.

Sporting Kansas City will begin their quest for MLS Cup this Sunday when the side faces off against the San Jose Earthquakes at Children’s Mercy Park in the Western Conference Quarterfinals of the MLS Cup Playoffs. Sporting (12-6-3, 39 pts.) are the top seed in the West with 1.86 points per game, with the Earthquakes (8-9-6, 30 pts.) claiming the eighth and final postseason position with 1.30 points per game.

In response to the emergency situation, Espinoza - who was born in Honduras and has represented his country at two FIFA World Cups - has assembled a group of fellow Hondurans in MLS to generate awareness and raise money for aid organizations that are on the ground in Honduras. These organizations have the ability to provide direct support to the thousands of people impacted by Hurricane Eta.

The two sides split the season series in 2019, with the Earthquakes surging to a 4-1 victory at Earthquakes Stadium on April 20, before Sporting came from a goal down to claim a 2-1 win at Children’s Mercy Park on Aug. 17. Sporting leads the all-time regular-season series between the two sides 27-25-8, including a 21-8-1 mark at home.

Sporting has also won six of their last eight (6-1-1) matches against San Jose since the latter stages of the 2016 season.

Espinoza and his Honduran compatriots have identified the following organizations and encourage donations:

Sporting KC and San Jose have met twice in the postseason - in 2003 and 2004. San Jose claimed a 3-2 victory over the then Kansas City Wizards at Spartan Stadium in the Western Conference Final on their way to winning MLS Cup in 2003, but Sporting earned a measure of revenge the following year, overturning a 2-0 deficit from the first leg to advance 3-2 on aggregate in the Western Conference Semifinals.

• Humanity and Hope United Foundation — A non-profit working to assist underserved villages and remote parts of Honduras • Operación Frijol — A non-profit that seeks to counter the COVID-19 pandemic by feeding those in need.

Sporting holds a 18-22-10 postseason record throughout the club’s history, with a commanding 16-5-3 record at home. After going four years without a home playoff game, Sporting hosted two in the 2018 MLS Cup Playoffs, defeating RSL 4-2 (5-3 on agg.) in the Western Conference Semifinals before falling 3-2 (3-2 on agg.) to Portland in the Conference Final.

COACH SPEAK: PETER VERMES

Thoughts on the match and on the weather conditions against RSL: “We faced a lot this year and I guess it was apropos that we play our game in a blizzard and can’t see the lines. I have to say, I think the referees did a great job. It was just a tough game all around. We had to change our game plan coming into the place once we saw all the snow on the field. I give the guys a lot of credit. They did exactly what we were hoping to do based on the conditions. We talked about set pieces and how important they were going to be. And we talked about how we thought that we could get – especially in the second half – down the channels on them. We brought Erik (Hurtado) on, he makes a great diagonal run, gets the second goal and puts us in a really good position. We knew we were going to suffer an onslaught late in the game with them just hitting balls long. They put us under pressure a little bit but I thought that the backline did a great job and Tim (Melia) as well.”

SHELTON & HURTADO TALLY IN EPIC SNOW GAME

Sporting KC clinched a first-place finish in the Western Conference for the second time in the last three years following a 2-0 victory over rivals Real Salt Lake at a snowy Rio Tinto Stadium on Decision Day, Nov. 8. The result meant that Sporting finished the season in first with 1.86 points per game, ahead of Seattle (1.77) and Portland (1.70).

Khiry Shelton provided the breakthrough with a scrappy goal on the brink of halftime before Erik Hurtado doubled the advantage three minutes after coming on as a halftime substitute. Both players tallied their fifth goals of the campaign, the second highest mark on the team behind Alan Pulido, Johnny Russell and Gadi Kinda - all of whom scored six times in the 2020 regular season.

On having home field advantage in the playoffs: “It’s a big goal of ours every year. We always want to, in some way, shape or form, be in the top two or four to get some home field advantage. We weren’t sure when it was three games to go and they were getting cancelled on us, we started to get concerned because now, all of a sudden, we’re losing opportunities. We have an incredible respect for the other teams in our conference as well as in the league. What we were nervous about and concerned about was the fact that we might not hold our destiny in our hands.

Somehow, with a couple different results, the next thing you know we came down to this last game. Tonight was amazing on the field. There was nothing you could do. You couldn’t even play all that well. But we found a way. It’s big for the club. It’s big for the city. Home field advantage is obviously much more important when you do have your full stadium but having some fans is really big.”

The result helped punctuate one of the finest bounce-back seasons the league has ever seen. In 2019, Vermes and Sporting saw their club-record eight-year playoff streak come to an end after an 11th-place finish in the West and a 22nd-place finish in the Supporters’ Shield standings. One year later, Sporting has pulled off the largest yearover-year improvement in Major League Soccer’s 25-year history with a jump from 11th to first in the West and 22nd to third in the Shield race.

Over the last 10 seasons, Vermes has won an MLS Cup, three Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups and finished first in the conference standings on four occasions. No other MLS coach has more than two first-place conference finishes during that time.

Sporting KC Game Notes | November 22, 2020 vs. San Jose Earthquakes | 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 190 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 and 2020. 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 155 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 439 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.

Sporting Kansas City announced in January 2020 that the club had acquired central midfielder Gadi Kinda on a one-year loan from Israeli Premier League side Beitar Jerusalem. Kinda has played over 200 matches in Israel since turning professional in 2011 at age 17. He starred as one of the Israeli Premier League’s best players during the first half of the 2019-20 season. Before his move to Sporting, the playmaker ranked fourth in the league with a team-best seven goals while also leading the side with four assists.

Born in Ethiopia and raised in Israel, Kinda joined Beitar Jerusalem in February 2019 and started 30 of 31 appearances in all competitions. Kinda spent the first seven and a half years of his professional career at FC Ashdod. He developed as a youth in his hometown club’s academy prior to landing an top-flight debut in September 2011 as a 17-year-old.

He became a regular starter for Ashdod during the 2013-2014 campaign, notably scoring his first top-fight goal in a 3-2 defeat of Israeli giants Maccabi Haifa in September 2013.

Ashdod spent the 2015-16 season in Israel’s second division, but a strong bounce-back culminated with a Liga Leumit title as Kinda earned 27 appearances and helped his team finish atop the standings. Ashdod’s promotion saw Kinda tally seven goals and seven assists over the next two and a half seasons before his transfer to Beitar Jerusalem.

On the international stage, Kinda has represented Israel at the U-18, U-19 and U-21 levels. Kinda has yet to earn his first cap for the Israeli Men’s National Team but was selected to the senior squad for UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying in fall 2019.

MISCELLANEOUS NOTES 2020 MLS Playoffs Bound 2020 marks the first time San Jose has reached the postseason since 2017. The last time the Quakes advanced past Round One was in 2010.

In Good Form Among all teams in the Western Conference, San Jose and Sporting Kansas City have the best 10-match runs heading into the postseason (6-3-1).

Club Playoff Record The Quakes hold a 12-12-1 overall playoff record in club history, with a 4-9-0 record away from home.

Postseason Experience Seven players from the current first team roster have made at least one MLS playoff appearance with the Quakes (Danny Hoesen, Florian Jungwirth, Shea Salinas, Tommy Thompson, Vako, Chris Wondolowski, Jackson Yueill). Wondolowski is the only active player to have scored in his MLS playoff career (2010).

Not the First Time San Jose has faced Kansas City in the MLS Cup Playoffs on two occasions in club history (2003 and 2004), advancing in 2003. The Quakes hold a 2-1-0 overall playoff record against them.

It’s Been a While Sunday’s match will mark the first time San Jose and Sporting KC will face each other in 2020. The last time they met was on Aug. 17, 2019 at Children’s Mercy Park, 464 days ago.

Returning from International Duty Defenders Marcos Lopez (Peru) and Guram Kashia (Georgia) and midfielder Vako (Gerogia) are expected to be available for Sunday’s match following international duty earlier in the week.

SHELTER IN PLACE The San Jose Earthquakes represent the Bay Area, one of nation’s most impacted regions by the spread of COVID-19.

Here are some Q&A responses from Quakes players on how they spent their time sheltering in place and what they learned from the very unique experience.

What’s been an unexpected positive during this experience?

“It’s forced me to slow down. I signed as a professional athlete at 18 years old. And now I’m learning to just stay at home, where we aren’t all traveling to a different city across the U.S every other weekend. It’s been nice to learn to cook, and just get better at it. I didn’t learn until I was much older. “ Defender Tommy Thompson What’s one thing you’ve done that you felt you didn’t have time to do before?

“I am taking English classes online. I want to invest in learning the language because it will help me communicate better living in the U.S. now and with my teammates too.”

Midfielder Cristian Espinoza What’s been an unexpected positive during this experience?

“You can spend more time together. You Facetime more with family now than you did before. I think it is positive that you keep in touch with people more than before.”

Forward Danny Hoesen What can you learn from this situation, big picture, once it’s all over?

“I think how we spend our time with friends and family. And prioritize economic habits, as well as health habits in the real world, to maximize a healthy, safe style of living.”

Defender Nick Lima What hobby have you taken up to pass the time?

“I have always played video games but now I’ve had a chance to be in a FIFA and Fortnite tournaments with my friends. I’ve also discovered some new music.”

Defender Casey Walls

What are you watching or reading and making significant progress on?

“I’m watching a lot of Netflix shows. There’s some shows that came out that I didn’t watch then, so I stay up all night watching those shows. But right now I play a lot of video games too; currently I’m playing Madden 20. I play Fortnite as well, and NBA 2K.” Midfielder Eric Cavlillo How have you kept up with family and friends?

“We have video chats all the time and hang out there. We are talking nonstop in the group chats.

That is how life is today. I have got closer with so many teammates on the [Georgia] national team.

Before we were close, but now we are closer, and we are all in the same environment just sitting at home, you have so much time to text and exchange information.”

Defender Guram Kashia What are you watching or reading and making significant progress on?

“I workout every day, and am studying English every day. I have some books from Brazil. I work out from 12-2:30 p.m. I am watching a lot of movies – La Maria which is a Brazilian movie, and Milgare na cela siete (Miracle in Cell 7). It is an emotional and exciting film. The book I’m reading is called Coragem Pra Recomeçar.”

Midfielder Judson What hobby have you taken up to pass the time?

“I don’t want to admit it, but I’ve gotten pretty good at cooking. Me and JT [Marcinkowski] will try and outcook each other. We’ve really done a lot of cooking. It’s fun to see what you can come up with.”

Midfielder Jackson Yueill

PLEDGE 74 The San Jose Earthquakes have launched a unique club-wide community initiative called Pledge 74 to tackle food insecurity concerns in the South Bay over the next 18 months. Many residents of San Jose and the South Bay community are unsure where their next meal will come from, and Pledge 74 was created to combat these concerns that have been exacerbated by COVID-19. Visit www.pledge74.org for more information.

The Quakes’ objective is to raise and donate $740,000, promote volunteerism and increase overall awareness of this growing problem.

Pledge 74 was named after the team’s founding in 1974 and carries a legacy of nearly 50 years of community service.

Although the Pledge 74 campaign is just being launched under a formal name, the Earthquakes have taken many actionable steps towards this cause since March. The club has contributed more than $50,000 towards food insecurity, including a $21,000 donation to feed students of the Alum Rock Union School District after school closures back in March. The Quakes have also held events to feed frontline workers at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center and Palo Alto Medical Foundation’s Mountain View Center, part of the Sutter Health network, as well as creating charitable merchandise to benefit United Farm Workers.

As unemployment figures continue to balloon in California, the reliance on food banks and other forms of government aid are at an all-time high. CalFresh, also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), has seen applications surge more than 250% since the onset of COVID-19.

Farm workers in California produce one-third of the nation’s vegetables and two-thirds of the fruits and nuts. However, these essential yet impoverished men and women responsible for feeding America are often not eligible for COVID-related assistance.

Four out of every five students in the Alum Rock Union School District qualify for free or reduced lunches, but these resources have been strained and are being propped up by sporadic contributions and volunteers. The Earthquakes’ aforementioned donation, in tandem with local volunteers, helped feed the 12,000 students in the district.

The Quakes are leaving no stone unturned in their fight against food insecurity and are extending their efforts club wide. Below is a full description of the club’s contributions to fighting hunger in the South Bay. Volunteerism All Earthquakes full-time staff members will volunteer at least 7.4 hours each, with incentives provided for those who go above and beyond for their community. Earthquakes players will also contribute an aggregated total of 74 hours of volunteer service, along with additional hours by members of the Quakes Youth Academy.

Marketing Resources At least 7.4% of all ad-buys will specifically target awareness of food security issues. The club will also make a concerted effort to fund billboards around Silicon Valley for this cause as well as generate PSAs and leverage local influencers to amplify messaging.

Local news outlets NBC Bay Area (KNTV) and Telemundo 48 (KSTS) will take a leading role in promoting the club’s content.

Sales and Service Every dollar of new season ticket deposits will go to food security partners, and all deposits made within the first 74 hours after the launch of Pledge 74 will be matched by the Earthquakes. Additionally, more than $0.74 of every single-game ticket will go to the program and free suite tickets and parking will be used as rewards for top volunteers outside the organization.

Sponsorship The Earthquakes are fortunate to have many team partners with shared values in the community. Our team and our partners will continue to elevate the platform and contribute to food insecurity initiatives around our community.

Merchandise The Quakes will create and sell specific Pledge 74 items, with 100% of proceeds benefitting food security. Additionally, the Quakes will work with Fanatics to create fundraising opportunities for Pledge 74.

Food The Quakes will work in tandem with stadium concessionaire Spectra to donate unused food to local food banks after every home match. The Earthquakes will also provide assistance to club partners in the restaurant business to donate unused food as well.

Operations The Earthquakes and Earthquakes Stadium will continue to be a home for community programming, events, and educational opportunities. Ranging from our sustainable garden, to using our facilities to help organize food donations and packing events, Earthquakes Stadium will be a home for Pledge 74.

Events The club generally charges a fee to outside organizations for stadium usage but will offer 74 hours of complimentary use to food banks or other allies in the fight against hunger.

Fans Fans will be incentivized to volunteer or donate through a rewards program. The most involved members of the community will have an opportunity to score free season tickets.

QUOTEABLE SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES HEAD COACH MATIAS ALMEYDA On tonight’s match against Seattle: “We always try to prepare to compete and win. I think discounting the goals, the game was good. If we had taken advantage of our chances in the first half as they did, this would have been a different match. The difference is that they capitalized on their chances and we did not. Nonetheless, it makes me happy to see Cade Cowell be able to play 90 minutes, as well as seeing the other youngsters come on. It was a good game and we still came here to compete.”

On heading into playoffs: “First and foremost, we are going to give the players two days to rest. Since the beginning of the season, the players have not taken a break. It’s about enjoying everything we have achieved up until Wednesday when we made the playoffs. We will focus on recovery for the players and ultimately focus on the upcoming game, which will be like a final.”

SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES DEFENDER TOMMY THOMPSON On the team’s preparation for the first-round match against SKC: “It’s a little bit strange matching up with a team in the Western Conference playoffs without playing them once all year, but this year has presented all kinds of new obstacles that we’ve had to learn to overcome. I’m sure Matias [Almeyda] and the rest of the staff will do a great job of preparing video on Kansas City, like we always do for every team. By the time kickoff starts, we’re going to know their plays, we’re going to know exactly what we need to do to get the result, so that’s what we’re going to be focusing on. We’re really looking forward to being back in the playoffs.”

MLS ROYALTY When it comes to Earthquakes forward Chris Wondolowski, the statistics speak for themselves. Here are a few of the all-time MLS leaderboards that Wondo has ascended over his career (regular season stats only).

OUR FEARLESS LEADER Matias Almeyda was hired as the 12th head coach of the San Jose Earthquakes on Oct. 8, 2018.

Almeyda possesses an extensive background both as a player and manager. Prior to his arrival in San Jose, he most recently served as head coach of Chivas de Guadalajara from September 2015 to June 2018, where he led the club to five trophies in his three seasons. During his tenure, Almeyda managed numerous Mexican National Team players, including Carlos Salcedo, Omar Bravo, Alan Pulido, Oswaldo Alanis, Rodolfo Pizarro, Miguel Angel Ponce and Isaac Brizuela.

Almeyda was named the 2018 Concacaf Men’s Football Coach of the Year after his side won the 2018 CONCACAF Champions League with consecutive wins over MLS clubs Seattle Sounders FC (3-1 agg.), New York Red Bulls (1-0 agg.) and Toronto FC (3-3 agg.; 4-2 PKs). It marked the club’s first CONCACAF Champions League title since 1962, the first year of the competition’s existence, and secured Chivas’ first-ever qualification for the FIFA Club World Cup. In addition to their international success, Chivas also performed well domestically under Almeyda. Chivas won the nation’s biannual tournament, Copa MX, in 2015 (Apertura) and 2017 (Clausura), as well as the 2016 Supercopa MX. The club also won the Clausura 2017 Liga MX championship, their first league title in more than 20 years. He was subsequently named Liga MX’s Best Coach after winning the league double.

Prior to joining Chivas in 2015, Almeyda was head coach for multiple clubs in his native Argentina.

In June of 2011, Almeyda made the rare transition from player to head coach, where he was tasked with leading a River Plate side that had just suffered relegation. In his debut season as manager, Almeyda led the Argentine power to a commanding 20-5-13 record and promotion back to the nation’s top league. The team also reached the semifinals of Copa Argentina with five consecutive victories, in which they allowed one total goal, before falling to Racing in penalties.

Almeyda left River Plate in November of 2012, joining Argentina’s Club Atletico Banfield a few months later. Banfield had also recently suffered relegation and turned to Almeyda to restore the club to the Primera División. Banfield won the championship and earned promotion in his first season, finishing with a 22-8-12 record and +31 goal differential, scoring a league-best 71 goals in 42 games. Only one other team finished with more than 54 goals that season.

After avoiding relegation in 2014, Almeyda’s side surged ahead in 2015, finishing in eighth place in the 30-team league with a 14-8-8 record and earning qualification for the 2016 Copa Sudamericana. Almeyda departed for Chivas after the team’s successful 2015 season.

Almeyda became a head coach after a lengthy playing career that featured stints in five countries. The defensive midfielder played in nearly 300 club matches, including 129 in Italy’s top-flight Serie A, 63 in Argentina’s Primera División and 28 in Spain’s La Liga, also making 20 appearances in UEFA Champions League competition. He featured for some of the world’s most storied clubs, including Inter Milan, Lazio, Sevilla and River Plate.

Among the trophies he helped lift as a player are three Argentinian championships (’93, ’95, ’96), one Copa Libertadores (’96), one UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup (’99), one UEFA Super Cup (’00), three Italian Cups (‘98, ‘00, ’02) and one Italian championship (’00).

Almeyda started and ended his playing career at River Plate, retiring in 2011 and immediately taking the reins as head coach at 37 years of age.

Internationally, Almeyda made 35 appearances for the Argentina National Team, scoring five goals. He represented his country at the 1998 and 2002 FIFA World Cups.

PLAYERS TO WATCH San Jose Earthquakes midfielder Jackson Yueill is flourishing under head coach Matias Almeyda. The sixthoverall selection in the 2017 MLS SuperDraft, Yueill - now 23 - is developing into one of Major League Soccer’s top young central midfielders and a stalwart with the United States National Team. After competing internationally at the U-18, U-20 and U-23 levels, Yueill forced his way into the senior team and has since made seven appearances for the USMNT.

“Yueill has broken through in impressive fashion in 2019 where he has emerged as one of the league’s best young American midfielders.”

Brian Sciaretta July 1, 2019

“There’s so much promise for him, just because of the way he’s controlling the ball and also paying attention to what the coaches are asking of him, and then adapting and changing his game. It’s a good character trait to have and I think he’s going to be a phenomenal player.”

USMNT forward Gyasi Zardes October 2019 “No domestic player has blossomed more in the last three months than the San Jose Earthquakes midfielder.

Anybody who has ever watched Jackson Yueill play could see a young attacker with rare levels of awareness and comfort on the ball. He always seems to know what is around him and be able to keep his cool in traffic. But everyone who watched him play also whispered the same things: “He doesn’t defend, though.” Matias Almeyda has changed that. Yueill has become a more complete player. He now covers ground and doesn’t shy away from the necessary tackles.”

Bobby Warshaw May 14, 2019

“THE AMERICAN PIRLO?” “The 22-year-old San Jose Earthquakes midfielder is a calming presence on the pitch, a playmaker with vision and the ability to connect over distance, and a maturing presence whose performances for the US — particularly in the September friendly with Uruguay and November’s second Concacaf Nations League clash with Canada — suggest he could be the chief man in the middle going forward.”

Scott French January 31, 2020 “Yueill looked the part of a proper, international-caliber regista against Uruguay in a friendly played in third gear back in September, then was a central part of the US team that absolutely dusted Canada in November’s Concacaf Nations League game — one that was played at something close to World Cup Qualifierlevel intensity. He was very, very good.”

Matthew Doyle January 28, 2020

“I think Jackson is one of the players with the brightest futures in this league... In terms of soccer, he is very complete, and I see a big European future for him.”

Matias Almeyda May 15, 2019

PLAYERS TO WATCH The San Jose Earthquakes didn’t make many moves in the offseason ahead of the 2020 MLS season. However, the club believes the limited turnover in Matias Almeyda’s system, along with a few key additions, will help the team become one of the league’s most competitive sides. Among the most important transactions were completing the permanent transfers of winger Cristian Espinoza and defensive midfielder Judson following their dazzling seasons on loan, and acquiring Mexico international center back Oswaldo Alanis on loan from Chivas de Guadalajara.

Few players have made an impact on their respective club like Cristian Espinoza has with the Quakes. A former top prospect in the Argentina youth national team system, Espinoza was subject to a big-money transfer to Spain’s Villarreal in 2016. He was subsequently sent out on loan after loan in search of consistent playing time, including a stint at Boca Juniors. He found that and more in San Jose, where he made 30 appearances and finished among the league leaders with 13 assists in 2019. The 24-yearold is unquestionably one of the league’s most dangerous one v one attackers and the Earthquakes broke their club transfer record to keep him in Black and Blue.

Many players have been making the move from Liga MX to MLS in recent years, including Sporting Kansas City’s Alan Pulido, Inter Miami CF’s Rodolfo Pizarro and Columbus Crew SC’s Lucas Zelarayan. One player that didn’t arrive with as much fanfare around the league is Oswaldo Alanis. Alanis, 30, has 23 caps for Mexico but has found playing time in recent seasons hard to come by. After narrowly missing out on a spot at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, and playing one year in the second tier of Spain, Alanis returned to Chivas where he was not a vital part of their team. He joined the Earthquakes in large part due to the presence of his former Chivas manager Matias Almeyda and made his mark from day one. In the Quakes’ 2-2 draw on opening day, Alanis tallied an assist and later a game-tying, stoppage-time free-kick goal to earn MLS Team of the Week honors. He became the first Quakes player with a goal and assist in his MLS debut since 1998.

QUAKES ACADEMY PRODUCTS Tommy Thompson, 25, was the first player in Quakes history to sign a Homegrown Player contract back in 2014. An attacking midfielder by trade, Thompson has flourished under head coach Matias Almeyda where he has transitioned to right back. The former U.S. U-20 player made 28 starts for the Quakes in 2019.

2

Nick Lima, 25, signed with the Earthquakes ahead of the 2017 season and hit the ground running, making 20 starts and finishing as a finalist for the MLS Rookie of the Year award. He is the only Quakes Academy product to feature for the senior U.S. National Team, having earned nine caps to date.

JT Marcinkowski, 23, is the unquestioned future of the Earthquakes between the posts after signing in 2018. A regular with the U.S. U-20s and U-23s, Marcinkowski has also received senior national team camp invitations.

4

5

Cade Cowell, 17, became the third straight 15-year-old Homegrown signing for the Quakes when he put pen to paper in 2019. A former track star, Cowell is almost certainly the fastest player on the roster. He scored on his Quakes debut in a friendly against Mexico’s Monterrey. He made his MLS debut on March 7, against Minnesota, as the youngest player in club history to appear in an MLS match.

Casey Walls, 17, is a tall, left-footed center back with an eye for the key pass. A native of London, England, Walls played for Chelsea FC’s Academy as a kid. He has been a regular with the U.S. National Team system, playing at the U-14, U-15, U-16 and U-17 levels.

8

3

Jacob Akanyirige, 18, joined the Quakes in 2018 as a relatively unknown prospect. Splitting his time with the U-19s and the club’s USL affiliate in Reno, Akanyirige has developed into one of the most head-turning young defenders in the pipeline. He made his MLS debut as a starter on Sept. 16 against Portland.

Gilbert Fuentes, 18, signed in 2018 soon after Akanyirige and Marcinkowski. A clinical attacking midfielder, Fuentes had previously been linked with top European clubs such as Borussia Dortmund. He has featured for the U.S. at various levels, including U-15 and U-17.

6

1

Emi Ochoa, 15, became the second-youngest player in MLS history upon signing his Homegrown contract in 2019. Ochoa is widely considered one of the premier young net-minders in American soccer, and has played for the U.S. U-14s and U-15s. He will continue playing with the Quakes Academy.
