#SKCvMIN: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City is set to face off against Minnesota United on Sunday in the club’s final home game at Children’s Mercy Park in the 2020 MLS regular season. Sporting knows a win or a draw would confirm a top-four finish in the West and homefield advantage in the opening round of the MLS Cup Playoffs. It’ll be the fourth meeting of the 2020 regular season between Sporting KC and Minnesota, with SKC holding a 2-1-0 edge thus far. Minnesota inflicted SKC’s first defeat of 2020 in the MLS is Back Tournament opener on July 12, scoring twice in second-half stoppage time to claim a 2-1 victory. In that game, Khiry Shelton gave Sporting the lead late in the first half before Tim Melia was sent off for DOGSO midway through the second period. An own goal from Shelton and a late winner from Kevin Molino earned Minnesota all three points. Sporting then faced off against the Loons at Allianz Field to open the next phase of the season on Aug. 21, claiming a 2-1 win. Gadi Kinda gave Sporting the lead before the two sides traded own goals from Jaylin Lindsey and Michael Boxall as Peter Vermes’ side took home all three points. The most recent meeting came on Sept. 13 at Children’s Mercy Park, with Sporting earning a tight 1-0 victory. Despite dominating much of the contest, it took Sporting until late in the game to take the lead when Johnny Russell fired home after being played in behind by Graham Zusi. Sporting holds a 6-3-2 record against the Loons in MLS play, including a perfect 5-0-0 mark at Children’s Mercy Park.

Sporting KC Team Notes • Sporting can clinch a home playoff match and a top-four finish in the West with a win or a draw on Sunday. • After collecting 10 wins during a 34-game regular season in 2019, Sporting has eclipsed that total with 11 wins in 20 matches this year. • During the month of October, Sporting was tied for the MLS lead with five wins and 16 points (5-1-1 record).

Sporting KC Game Notes | November 1, 2020 vs. Minnesota United FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes CLINCHED

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

CREATIVE KINDA CONTINUES KINDLING FORM

With Wednesday night’s 1-0 victory over FC Cincinnati at Nippert Stadium, Sporting Kansas City has clinched a berth in the MLS Cup Playoffs for the ninth time in the last 10 seasons. Sporting now knows that a win or a draw against Minnesota United FC on Sunday night will clinch home-advantage in the opening round of the postseason.

Sporting Kansas City midfielder Gadi Kinda found himself on the scoresheet for the third consecutive game during Wednesday night’s 1-0 victory over FC Cincinnati at Nippert Stadium. The Israeli creator helped provide the assist for Roger Espinoza’s game-winning goal in the second half, bringing his tally for the year to six goals and four assists in his maiden MLS campaign while on loan from Beitar Jerusalem in the Israeli Premier League.

Sporting Kansas City’s postponed match against the Colorado Rapids will not be rescheduled, nor will other previously postponed MLS matches due to disruptions from COVID-19. As a result of the 12 Western Conference clubs concluding the regular season on Nov. 8 with an unequal number of matches played, playoff qualification will be determined by points earned on a per match basis. Tiebreaking procedures, if needed, will also be calculated on a per match basis.

Kinda, along with teammate Alan Pulido (six goals, five assists), are two of only six MLS newcomers with 10 or more combined goals and assists during the regular season. Kinda started the season in blistering form, providing four goals and two assists in his first seven games for the club. A relatively barren spell followed, failing to leave an imprint on the scoresheet for eight straight games before exploding back into form with two goals and two assists in his last three.

Sporting Kansas City is currently assured of a top-six seed in the West regardless of results in the final 16 games involving Western Conference clubs in the final nine days of the regular season. With two games remaining - Sporting hosts Minnesota United FC on Sunday then travels to Real Salt Lake one week later for MLS Decision Day on Nov. 8 - playoff seeding and home field advantage during the postseason will be at stake over the final week of the regular season.

MELIA SETS SAVES RECORD

Sporting Kansas City goalkeeper Tim Melia laid claim on another all-time goalkeeping record in club history, as he overtook Sporting Legend Tony Meola who previously held the club record with 507 saves. Melia made two saves on the night, including a crucial stop on Juergen Locadia late in the first half, to take his total to 509 saves in a Sporting KC shirt.

A win on Sunday against the Loons would actually guarantee Sporting Kansas City a top-three position (SKC/SEA/POR competing for top three spots), while a draw would ensure Sporting KC can finish no worse than fourth (SKC/SEA/POR/LAFC challenging for highest four seeds) thanks to Sporting KC having the mathematical edge in the winsper-match tiebreaker against FC Dallas and Minnesota United FC.

Melia, who originally joined the club as a league pool goalkeeper in 2014 to provide cover for Sporting’s contracted goalkeepers, now leads the club in all but two goalkeeping categories (goals against average and save percentage). He leads all goalkeepers in club history in games played (166), minutes played (14,893), shutouts (51), saves (509) and wins (72).

Sunday’s match will mark the first time ever that Sporting has played an MLS regularseason game in November. Sporting rolled through the month of October, going 5-1-1 in their seven games, which is the fourth time in club history that the team has recorded five wins in the space of a month, and the first time since April 2000.

In addition, Melia has conceded just one goal in the last five penalty attempts he has faced. While he did not intervene on Siem de Jong’s effort during Wednesday’s win over Cincinnati, as the Dutchman struck the post with his attempt, Melia has now allowed just 53.8 percent of the penalty kicks he has faced (14 of 26) in his MLS career.

FOURTH TIME OVER WITH MINNESOTA

Sporting Kansas City is set to face off against Minnesota United FC once again in 2020, with Sunday’s clash at Children’s Mercy Park the fourth meeting between the two sides this year. Sporting holds a 2-1-0 mark across the first three games, with one in the Orlando bubble (L), one at Allianz Field (W) and one at Children’s Mercy Park (W).

LEAGUE STRUCTURE SHIFTS TO POINTS PER GAME

On Thursday, Major League Soccer confirmed that multiple clubs will finish the season without playing the full 23 scheduled matches due to disruptions from Covid-19. As a result, qualification for the 2020 MLS Cup Playoffs will be determined by points earned on a per match basis, or points per game.

Minnesota were in fact the first side to beat Sporting KC in 2020 when Adrian Heath’s men produced a stirring comeback in the MLS is Back Tournament opener on July 12 to score twice in second-half stoppage time to deny 10-man Sporting all three points after Khiry Shelton had given his side the lead in the first half before Tim Melia was shown a red card midway through the second period.

Prior to resuming the season following the MLS is Back Tournament, MLS stated in early August the league would use points per game as opposed to total points to determine playoff qualifiers in the case clubs played an uneven number of games. Points per game will also be used to determine the overall MLS standings, with the top U.S.-based team earning a berth in the Concacaf Champions League.

The two sides met at Allianz Field in the first match back in home markets on Aug. 21, with Sporting claiming a 2-1 victory of their own. Gadi Kinda gave his side the lead early on before the two sides traded own goals from Jaylin Lindsey and Michael Boxall.

MLS also confirmed that the regular season would conclude on Decision Day on November 8 and that matches will not be scheduled during the FIFA international window. Due to the limited number of remaining match dates, not all clubs will be able to play all of their originally scheduled games this season.

The most recent meeting came on Sept. 13 at Children’s Mercy Park, as a dominant Sporting performance was initially unable to breakdown a stubborn Minnesota backline before Johnny Russell struck the only goal of the game with around 10 minutes to go.

COACH SPEAK: PETER VERMES

Thoughts on the match at Cincinnati: “Both teams had to deal with it, but I think the field was tough to play on. Obviously you have to have a style of play to win games and you have to also work and fight and all those things. But sometimes you have to be able to stick your nose on the end of a ball to block it for a goal not to be scored and vice versa, you’ve got to stick your nose on the end of the ball to score. You’re going to have to scrape and scrap and fight and bite for everything in the game today. At the end, we got a really good result on the road. Those three points are massive for us at the moment and keep us in the hunt. We’ve just got to keep working to gain points. I thought that the subs we made in the second half really had an impact in the game. That was probably the difference in the game. We really didn’t give much away. The other thing too is there was no one here. They don’t have any fans here and it was incredibly stale. You could hear everything in the stadium. It’s not what you’re used to playing in so I think the guys did a really good job based on the fact it was that kind of an environment.”

Sporting holds a 6-3-2 record against Minnesota all-time in MLS regular-season action, including a perfect 5-0-0 mark at Children’s Mercy Park.

PULIDO & ESPINOZA COMBINE FOR GAME-WINNER

Since being restored to the lineup following a stint with the Mexican National Team, influential striker Alan Pulido has played a pivotal role as Sporting has racked up back-to-back wins over the Colorado Rapids and FC Cincinnati. After scoring the gamewinning goal in last Saturday’s victory over the Rapids, Pulido set up the only goal of the game from Roger Espinoza on Wednesday night in Cincinnati. Pulido now has 11 combined goals (six) and primary assists (five) in just 12 appearances this season. His clip of 0.917 goals or primary assists per match rank second in MLS among players who have played at least 10 times in 2020, only trailing Seattle Sounders’ Peruvian forward Raul Ruidiaz.

On clinching a playoff berth: “I think every team’s goal in this league is to make the playoffs. That’s the standard. And then the next thing is obviously you want to try to get a home playoff game and try to get home field advantage if you can then through the playoffs. Those are all the things you’re fighting for week after week and that’s what we’re fighting for. It’s a job well done by the guys in accomplishing that aspect but now we’ve got to keep fighting here with the last couple games of the season and get ourselves to a place where we have a home playoff game and maybe some home field advantage if we can keep going on.”

Pulido (11 goal contributions), along with teammate Gadi Kinda (10 goal contributions), are two of six MLS newcomers with 10 or more combined goals and assists during the regular season, joining Miami’s Lewis Morgan (12), Chicago’s Robert Beric (10), Orlando’s Daryl Dike (10) and Portland’s Yimmy Chara (10). With Espinoza getting on the end of Pulido’s cutback to give Sporting KC the lead on Wednesday night, the Honduran notched just the second game-winning goal of his MLS career and his first since 2011. It was his second goal of the season, marking the second time Espinoza has scored multiple goals in a season after scoring three times in 2018. Espinoza earned a spot on the bench of the MLS Team of the Week.

Sporting KC Game Notes | November 1, 2020 vs. Minnesota United FC | 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 189 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 154 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 438 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.

LAST TIME OUT | Minnesota United FC vs. Colorado Rapids | Oct. 28, 2020 | Allianz Field, Saint Paul, Minnesota | 2020 MLS Regular Season MIN Starting XI vs. COL

MNUFC Take Three and a Playoff Berth Coming in with momentum from a last-second road win in Cincinnati, MNUFC found themselves missing a few regular starters as they squared off with the visiting Colorado Rapids at Allianz Field. Fresh off his hero turn against Cincy, Aaron Schoenfeld started in place of Kei Kamara and Brent Kallman was in the starting XI for the first time since September of 2019. The Rapids came out strong, clearly wanting to banish the bad taste from a thrashing at the hands of SKC, but MNUFC struck first with a Robin Lod goal in the 44th minute. Colorado clawed back with a goal from Andre Shinyashiki, but were ultimately undone by a last minute own goal, handing MNUFC all three points.

UP NEXT | Minnesota United FC @ Sporting Kansas City | Nov. 1, 2020 | Children’s Mercy Park, Kansas City, Kansas | 2020 MLS Regular Season A Meeting of Two Friends Sporting Kansas City lined up against FC Cincy in its home stadium on Wednesday night and snuck away with a 1-0 win in an extremely back and forth, kickball-esque game where neither side necessarily dominated. The SKC frontline of Alan Pulido, Johnny Russell and Khiry Shelton were knocking but couldn’t finish, despite the 16 goals they’ve scored this year among the three of them. The Loons will have to work the length of the field, marking Pulido up top while pressuring Tim Melia, who constantly comes up big between the sticks. Minnesota United carries momentum from a two-game win streak and confidence in its depth as it travels to Children’s Mercy Park.

MINNESOTA UNITEDUNITED NEWS AND NOTES 2015 MINNESOTA FC GOAL MAP Recap: MNUFC Win Second Straight with 2-1 Win over Rapids at Home Coming in with momentum from a last-second road win in Cincinnati, MNUFC found themselves missing a few regular starters as they squared off with the visiting Colorado Rapids at Allianz Field. Fresh off his hero turn against Cincy, Aaron Schoenfeld started in place of Kei Kamara and Brent Kallman was in the starting XI for the first time since September of 2019. The Rapids came out strong, clearly wanting to banish the bad taste from a thrashing at the hands of SKC, but MNUFC struck first with a Robin Lod goal in the 44th minute. Colorado clawed back with a goal from Andre Shinyashiki, but were ultimately undone by a last minute own goal, handing MNUFC all three points. MNUFC Acquires Sam Gleadle, Foster Langsdorf, Kevin Partida from Reno 1868 FC Minnesota United announced that the club has acquired midfielder Sam Gleadle, forward Foster Langsdorf and midfielder Kevin Partida.

ABOUT MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER Minnesota United FC plays in North America’s top professional soccer league, Major League Soccer (MLS). The league features 26 teams from across the United States and Canada. After a successful bid to host the FIFA World Cup in 1994, the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) founded MLS to bring a top-level soccer league back to the country for the first time since 1984, when the original NASL folded. The league was set to begin play in 1996 with 10 teams: Colorado Rapids, Columbus Crew (SC), D.C. United, Dallas Burn (FC Dallas), Kansas City Wiz (Sporting Kansas City), Los Angeles Galaxy, New England Revolution, NY/NJ MetroStars (New York Red Bulls), San Jose Clash (Earthquakes) and Tampa Bay Mutiny. The league’s first game was played on April 6, 1996 as the San Jose Clash played D.C. United in front of 31,000 fans at Spartan Stadium. The league drew large crowds in its opening season, pulling star power from around North America and building on the excitement of the 1994 FIFA World Cup. As MLS has continued to grow, clubs have begun moving out of shared American football venues and into soccer-specific stadium, led by Columbus Crew (SC), who moved into the soccer-specific MAPFRE Stadium in 1999. Currently, 20 teams play in soccer-specific venues. The league is split into the Eastern and Western Conferences. Each team plays 34 games during the season. Teams play all conference opponents twice, once at home and once on the road, and teams in the other conference once, with an even balance of home and away games. The top seven teams in each conference at the end of the year qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs. Starting in 2019, the league adopted a new single-elimination format for the entirety of the MLS Cup Playoffs. The top seven teams in each conference qualify for postseason, with the regular-season conference champions receiving a first-round bye. The second through seventh seeds will play the opening round games, with the highest seed hosting games throughout the tournament. The winners will move on to join the oneseed teams in the conference semifinals. The winner of each conference championship will move on to the MLS Cup Final. The team with the best regular season record will host the final.
