REAL SALT LAKE 2020 GAME NOTES LAST MATCH RECAP Real Salt Lake (5-9-7, 22 points) was eliminated from contention for the 2020 Audi MLS Cup Playoffs on Sunday night after a 2-1 loss to the LA Galaxy at Dignity Health Sports Park. Douglas Martinez notched his second goal of the 2020 season, but it wasn’t enough to overcome a 2-0 deficit on the road. The Galaxy jumped out to the lead through Giancarlo Gonzalez in the 18th minute, heading in a free kick from Sebastian Lletget. RSL couldn’t break through to pressure the Galaxy backline in the first 45 minutes, seeing the home team taking the 1-0 lead into the halftime break. RSL came out of the halftime break on the front foot and nearly found the equalizer through Corey Baird whose chipped effort was cleared off the line in the 50th minute. But the Galaxy doubled its advantage in the 65th minute when Cristian Pavon carved through the RSL defense for a goal. In the 78th minute, Martinez latched onto the end of a Justin Meram cross to slash the Galaxy lead in half, but a late push for an equalizer fell short.

LAST TIME VS OPPONENT Real Salt Lake (1-1-1, 4 points) suffered its first defeat of the 2020 season in falling 2-0 to Sporting Kansas City in the final Group Stage match of the MLS Is Back Tournament. After a strong start to the Group Stage, RSL clinched advancement to the Round of 16, with the schedule and the opponent still to be determined. Goalkeeper Zac MacMath finished with three saves, but a goal in the opening minute from Kansas City had RSL chasing the game early on and an 87th minute goal put it out of reach. Sporting KC immediately took ahold of the match, finding the game’s opening goal in just the first minute when Johnny Russell volleyed home a failed RSL clearance inside the box. From there, RSL tried to claw its way back into the game and found success through wide areas but couldn’t find a goal before the halftime break. In the second half, RSL saw the majority of the possession but failed to truly test Sporting KC goalkeeper Tim Melia. Head Coach Freddy Juarez utilized all five of his available substitutions in search of fresh legs and a goal, but it was Sporting who struck late through a substitute of their own in Gerso, who’s left-footed shot sealed the full three points for the Kansas side.

The 14-year veteran currently sits at 498 regular season appearances. Beckerman is the MLSall-time record holder for minutes played, games played and games started for field players. Beckerman reached 350 matches played for RSL on October 28 in a 2-0 loss at the San Jose Earthquakes. Justen Glad – On July 27, 2019 Glad became the first RSL Homegrown player to appear in 100 regular season matches for the club. On August 10, Glad became the first RSL Homegrown player to start 100 regular season matches. GENERAL MANAGER ELLIOT FALL Fall has served in different capacities at Real Salt Lake since 2007.  During the 2013-2014 seasons, he worked closely with former General Manager Garth Lagerwey as Director of Soccer Operations.  In November of 2014, Fall was named Assistant General Manager and has held that position for five seasons.  In each of those roles, he assisted in player acquisition and retention as well as in player development, overseeing the Real Monarchs and the RSL Academy at different stages. A graduate of the University of Utah and Salt Lake City’s Judge Memorial Catholic High School, Fall is a lifelong Salt Lake City resident. At 34 years old, he is the youngest General Manager in Major League Soccer. HEAD COACH FREDDY JUAREZ Juarez, 41, originally joined the Real Salt Lake organization as RSL Academy Head Coach in 2010, winning the USSDA U-16 Championship in 2012 with a roster that boasted future RSL players Justen Glad, Brooks Lennon and Sebastian Saucedo, among others. He remained with the Academy until being promoted to Head Coach of Real Monarchs SLC in the club’s inaugural season in the USL in 2015. After two seasons in that post, he was again promoted to Real Salt Lake’s coaching staff as an assistant coach, where he has played an integral role in continued youth development at the MLS level and in implementing tactical approaches that have helped RSL improve in the standings in each of his three years on staff. In August, he took the helm as Interim Head Coach, with RSL going 5-4-1 in the final 10 matches in that role after posting a 2-0-1 record in his three matches as acting head coach prior to being named in the interim role. A native of Las Cruces, New Mexico, Juarez played 10 seasons in the USL for the El Paso Patriots and Minnesota Thunder before retiring in 2007. Throughout his playing career, he coached at the youth levels and continued in that capacity upon his retirement. HOMEGROWN LEADERS Real Salt Lake has led Major League Soccer in minutes played by Academy products in each of the last two seasons and reached the Western Conference Semifinals in both seasons, totlaing 23,100 minutes played. With Real Monarchs reaching the USL Championship Final in 2019 and the USL Regular Season Shield in 2017, RSL’s youth development structure has shown an ability to develop young players coming through the RSL Academy as well as those joining from other organizations.

Sporting Kansas City is set to close out the 2020 MLS regular season this Sunday when the side takes on rivals Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, Utah on Decision Day, with kickoff set for 5:30 p.m. CT. Sporting KC is 1-0-0 against RSL in 2020, claiming a comfortable 2-0 victory in the third group stage game of the MLS is Back Tournament back on July 22. Johnny Russell scored within the opening minute before Gerso made the points safe late in the contest. In 2019, Sporting went 0-2-0 against RSL, first falling to a disappointing 2-0 defeat at Rio Tinto Stadium on June 29, 2019 as Sam Johnson scored a first-half brace. In the return fixture at Children’s Mercy Park on Aug. 10, 2019, Sporting took the lead through a terrific free kick from Johnny Russell, only for Corey Baird to score either side of halftime and clinch a 2-1 road victory for RSL. The two meetings in 2019 paled in comparison to the five matches the two sides played in 2018. RSL got results in each of the regular-season matches, going 1-0-1, but Sporting had the last laugh in knockout competition as Peter Vermes’ side knocked RSL out of both the U.S. Open Cup and the MLS Cup Playoffs that year. Sporting has won just two of their last 15 regular-season games against RSL and are 10-13-8 in the all-time regular-season series. However, SKC also has a history of winning when it matters most against Salt Lake, most notably beating RSL in the 2013 MLS Cup Final in a penalty shootout and defeating the Utah side on their way to winning the 2015 U.S. Open Cup. Sporting also beat RSL in the only postseason encounter the two sides have shared in 2018, while also knocking them out of the U.S. Open Cup that same year. The only knockout match that Real Salt Lake has won over Sporting throughout the club’s history was in the 2007 U.S. Open Cup Round of 16. #RSLvSKC: Recent Meetings (RSL leads 13-10-8 in regular season)

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

CREATIVE KINDA CONTINUES KINDLING FORM

Sporting Kansas City enters Sunday night’s clash with Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium on Decision Day atop the Western Conference, and knows a win will secure a first-place finish in the West regardless of results elsewhere.

Sporting Kansas City midfielder Gadi Kinda found himself on the scoresheet for the third consecutive game during last 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.

Following Wednesday night’s slate of midweek matches, the Western Conference playoff field is set. In the space of a single week - beginning when Sporting Kansas City became the first team to clinch a postseason berth last Wednesday with a 1-0 win at FC Cincinnati - all eight playoff positions in the Western Conference have been secured.

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.

Thanks to a pair of favorable results late Wednesday night with Portland’s 1-0 loss and Seattle’s 1-1 draw, Sporting Kansas City is firmly in control of the club’s playoff destiny. Put simply, Sporting Kansas City will finish in first place in the Western Conference with a win at Real Salt Lake on Sunday.

MELIA SETS SAVES RECORD

A draw or loss opens the door to finishing first, second or third in the table based on the following scenarios. If Sporting Kansas City do not win on Sunday... • Sporting KC will finish first in the West if Portland AND Seattle do not win • Sporting KC will finish second in the West if Portland OR Seattle win • Sporting KC will finish third in the West if Portland AND Seattle win

Sporting Kansas City goalkeeper Tim Melia has laid claim on another club goalkeeping record, as he overtook Sporting Legend Tony Meola who previously held the club record with 507 saves. Melia made two saves in the 2-0 shutout win over FC Cincinnati last Wednesday, including a crucial stop on Juergen Locadia late in the first half, to take his total to 509 saves in a Sporting KC shirt.

Knowing that Sporting can finish as high as first or as low as third, Sporting Kansas City’s potential opening round playoff opponent is narrowed to one of the following five teams: FC Dallas, Minnesota United, LAFC, Colorado Rapids or San Jose.

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).

Should Sporting finish first, that list shrinks to three (LAFC, Colorado or San Jose) and Sporting will have pulled off the greatest single-season turnaround in MLS history from one season’s standings to the next - jumping 10 spots from an injury-plagued 2019 campaign that concluded with the club in 11th place.

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.

WRAPPING UP REGULAR SEASON WITH RIVALS RSL

Sporting Kansas City will close out the 2020 MLS regular season this Sunday afternoon when the side takes on rivals Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, Utah. Sporting knows a win will guarantee a first-place finish in the Western Conference, while RSL have already been eliminated from postseason contention.

LEAGUE STRUCTURE SHIFTS TO POINTS PER GAME

Last 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.

Sporting claimed victory in the only other meeting in 2020, coming in the final group stage clash of the MLS is Back Tournament on July 22. Johnny Russell gave his side the lead in the opening minute, before Gerso Fernandes made the points safe late on with a brilliant curling finish.

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.

Sporting went 0-2-0 against Salt Lake in 2019, falling a disappointing 2-0 setback on the road on June 29, 2019 before also suffering defeat at Children’s Mercy Park on Aug. 10, 2019. Russell gave Sporting the lead on that night, only for Corey Baird to strike twice allowing RSL to claim a 2-1 win.

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.

SKC has a history of winning when it matters most against Salt Lake, most notably beating RSL in the 2013 MLS Cup Final in a penalty shootout and defeating the Utah side on their way to winning the 2015 U.S. Open Cup. SKC also beat RSL in the only postseason encounter the two sides have shared in 2018, while also knocking them out of the U.S. Open Cup that same year. The only knockout match that RSL has won over Sporting throughout the club’s history was in the 2007 U.S. Open Cup Round of 16.

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.”

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 the victory over the Rapids on Oct. 24, Pulido set up the only goal of the game from Roger Espinoza last Wednesday 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. 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).

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.”

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.

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.

Sporting KC Game Notes | November 8, 2020 at Real Salt Lake | 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.
