AUDI 2018 MLS CUP PLAYOFFS INFORMATION QUALIFICATION The six teams from each conference who finish the regular season with the most points qualify for the playoffs to bring the total field to 12 participants, two more than the number that qualified from 2011-14. SEEDING AND KNOCKOUT ROUND The top two teams in each conference automatically qualify directly to the Conference Semifinals, a week-long break that serves as a reward for regular-season performance. Meanwhile, the other four teams in each conference face a quick turnaround for the Knockout Round, which pits the No. 3 and No. 6 seeds and the No. 4 and No. 5 seeds in winner-take-all matches hosted by the higher seed. Away goals do not count as a tiebreaker in the Knockout Round. RESEEDING FOR THE CONFERENCE SEMIS When the field has been trimmed to eight teams, four per conference, the Knockout Round winners are re-seeded ahead of the Conference Semifinals based on regularseason performance. The lowest remaining seed in each conference will play the No. 1 seed, while the No. 2 seed takes on the other team in Conference Semifinal matches set for Nov. 4 and Nov. 8/11. For example, if the No. 6 seed sprung an upset against the No. 3 seed and the No. 5 seed did the same against the No. 4 seed, the conference semifinals would pit the No. 1 seed against the No. 6 seed and the No. 2 seed against the No. 5 seed.

CONFERENCE SEMIFINALS AND FINALS Once the single-elimination Knockout Round matches narrow the field, the format switches to two-match, aggregate-goal series for the Conference Semifinals and Conference Championships, with the lower seed hosting the first leg and the higher seed hosting the second leg. The team with the most total goals over two legs advances.

If the teams score an equal number of goals over the course of both matches, the team with the most road goals in the series advances to the Conference Finals/MLS Cup. If at the end of the 180 minutes the teams are tied on both total goals and away goals, the teams will play two 15-minute extra time periods in which away goals DO NOT count, followed by, if necessary, penalty kicks to determine a winner.

#SKCvRSL: BY THE NUMBERS
Sporting Kansas City continues its quest for the 2018 MLS Cup this weekend with the second leg of the Western Conference Semifinal against against Real Salt Lake taking place at Children’s Mercy Park on Sunday afternoon. It will be the fifth and final meeting between the two sides in all competitions this season, having already squared off in Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup play in June, twice in MLS regular-season action in July and September, and last weekend in the first leg of the Conference Semifinals. In the U.S. Open Cup Fourth Round match on June 6, Sporting KC emerged as 2-0 winners after a second-half diving header from Johnny Russell and a first-ever Sporting KC goal in his first-ever start for the club from Kharlton Belmar. Sporting KC returned to Rio Tinto Stadium on July 4, 2018, falling to a 4-2 defeat. Daniel Salloi gave Sporting KC the lead, but RSL scored three before halftime through Jefferson Savarino, Corey Baird and Sebastian Saucedo. Ike Opara reduced the deficit to one in the second half and Tim Melia stopped an Albert Rusnak penalty kick, but after Salloi and Roger Espinoza were each sent off, Luis Silva netted a penalty in stoppage time to make the final score 4-2. In the final meeting of the regular season, Salt Lake entered Children’s Mercy Park and snatched an early lead through Baird, only for Opara to notch his fourth goal alltime against RSL to salvage a 1-1 draw for Sporting KC on Sept. 30, 2018. Then, last weekend, Sporting KC fell behind following Rusnak’s wonderstrike, but Peter Vermes’ side responded well and equalized when substitute Diego Rubio lashed home a powerful effort just 38 seconds after entering the field for a precious away goal. Sporting KC has won just one of their last 12 games against RSL in regular-season play, but has been victorious over Salt Lake in their last three knockout matches - two in the U.S. Open Cup in 2015 and 2018, while also famously winning the 2013 MLS Cup on penalties against the Utes at Children’s Mercy Park. #SKCvRSL: Recent Meetings (RSL leads 11-9-8 in regular season)

Sporting KC Game Notes | November 11, 2018 vs. Real Salt Lake | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes EYEING CONFERENCE FINAL
SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES SUPER-SUB RUBIO
Sporting Kansas City looks to advance to the Conference Final for the first time since the side’s championship-winning run in 2013 when Real Salt Lake visits Children’s Mercy Park for the Second Leg of the Western Conference Semifinals on Sunday afternoon. The aggregate score is tied at 1-1 after Albert Rusnak and Diego Rubio exchanged goals in the second half of the first leg at Rio Tinto Stadium one week ago.
Sporting KC forward Diego Rubio continued his stunning scoring rate as a substitute this season when the Chilean lashed home the equalizing goal - and a vitally important away goal - just 38 seconds after entering the field in the 1-1 draw with Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium in the Western Conference Semifinal First Leg last Sunday. After fellow Chilean Felipe Gutierrez had charged down Nick Rimando’s clearance, Rubio took two touches to settle the ball before slamming home a ferocious strike into the corner.
Sporting KC now knows it can advance to the Western Conference Final with either a 0-0 draw on Sunday, or any type of win. Rubio’s away goal allows Peter Vermes’ side the knowledge that should the game end scoreless, Sporting KC would advance with one away goal to Real Salt Lake’s zero. A 1-1 draw would see the game head to extra time and potentially penalties, while a 2-2 draw or any higher-scoring tie would see Real Salt Lake advance to the next round with more away goals than Kansas City.
The goal was Rubio’s fifth as a substitute in 2018 - more than any other player in MLS while Sporting KC leads the league with 13 goals from substitutes in 2018. Rubio’s five goals is tied for third-most during the Opta era (2010-present) and of those five, three have served as game-tying goals and one has been a match-winner. The goal marked just the second time in postseason history that a substitute has scored in the same minute that he entered the game. The first occurrence came in October 1999 when Chicago halftime sub Dema Kovalenko scored 54 seconds into the 2nd half.
Sporting KC has played RSL four times already in 2018, but only one of those matches has come at Children’s Mercy Park. In that match, a 1-1 draw in the regular season on September 30, 2018, Sporting KC fell behind to Corey Baird’s early goal before Ike Opara scored in his third straight MLS match against RSL to salvage a draw for the home side. The winner of the two-legged series will face the Portland Timbers in the Western Conference Final for the right to advance to the 2018 MLS Cup Final on December 8.

REAL RIVALRY CONTINUES
Prior to joining Scotland, Russell will be available for selection Sunday when top-seeded Sporting Kansas City hosts No. 6 seed Real Salt Lake in the decisive second leg of the Western Conference Semifinals at Children’s Mercy Park.
Sporting Kansas City continues its rivalry with Real Salt Lake on Sunday as the two sides square off in the second leg of the Western Conference Semifinals at Children’s Mercy Park. This semifinal series marks the first meeting between the two clubs in the MLS Cup Playoffs since Sporting KC won the 2013 MLS Cup at Children’s Mercy Park in a dramatic penalty shootout victory over Salt Lake.
SALLOI CLAIMS SPORTING KC GOLDEN BOOT
With his game-winning goal in the crucial 2-1 victory over Los Angeles FC on Decision Day, Sporting Kansas City forward Daniel Salloi clinched the club’s Golden Boot title as he notched his 11th goal of the MLS season, breaking a tie with winger Johnny Russell.
Sunday’s match will be the fifth and final meeting between the two sides in 2018, with the series tied 1-1-2 after four matches in all competitions so far this year. Sporting KC took the first meeting - a U.S. Open Cup Round of 32 clash at Rio Tinto Stadium on June 6 - after second-half goals from Johnny Russell and Kharlton Belmar saw the visitors claim a 2-0 victory.
The Homegrown striker scored three consecutive game-winning goals to end the regular season, snatching game-winners in the 4-1 victory over Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Oct. 17, the 3-0 win over FC Dallas on Oct. 21 and the 2-1 victory over LAFC on Oct. 28. In all, Salloi has four goals in his last three matches for the club.
Real Salt Lake doled out some revenge just under a month later on July 4 at Rio Tinto Stadium, claiming a 4-2 victory in MLS regular-season action. SKC took the lead through Daniel Salloi but RSL responded with first-half goals from Jefferson Savarino, Corey Baird and Sebastian Saucedo. Ike Opara pulled a goal back in the second half and Tim Melia saved an Albert Rusnak penalty, but Luis Silva buried another spot kick deep into stoppage time after Salloi and Roger Espinoza had been sent off to seal the result.
Salloi ends the regular season tied for third in MLS with six game-winning goals, which go along with seven assists - placing him third on the team in that category. The Hungarian has scored once against Real Salt Lake, netting the opener in the eventual 4-2 defeat at Rio Tinto Stadium on July 4, 2018. Salloi now has 19 goals and nine assists in 60 appearances (42 starts) in all competitions for SKC since signing as a Homegrown player ahead of the 2016 season.
The third game was a tense affair at Children’s Mercy Park on Sept. 30, where RSL took a surprise lead through Baird, only for Opara to score his fourth all-time goal against Salt Lake to tie the game up early in the second half as the game ended in a 1-1 draw.
ATTACKING RECORDS SHATTERED
Then, finally, last Sunday saw the two sides exchange blows in the first leg of the Western Conference Semifinals - as Albert Rusnak’s stunning volley gave RSL the lead early in the second half only for Diego Rubio to snatch a vital away goal just 38 seconds after entering the field as a substitute, concluding the game at 1-1.
Sporting Kansas City achieved several milestones during the 2018 regular season and shattered multiple offensive records in the process. During the 3-0 win over Dallas in the penultimate match of the season, Sporting KC set a new all-time club record for most goals in a single MLS season when Roger Espinoza fired home the second goal of the match midway through the second half - the 62nd goal of the 2018 campaign. Sporting finished the regular season with 65 goals.
Sporting KC has won just one of their last 12 MLS regular-season meetings with Real Salt Lake, but has won all three knockout games against the Utes in that time frame - winning the 2013 MLS Cup, a 2015 U.S. Open Cup Quarterfinal and the 2018 U.S. Open Cup Round of 32 clash.
Sporting KC - then the Kansas City Wiz - scored 61 goals in their inaugural season in 1996. In total, Sporting Kansas City set new club records in six different offensive categories: Goals (65), Road Goals (31), Goal Difference (+25), Assists (69), Shots (583) and Corner Kicks (206).
MLS CUP HISTORY
VERMES NAMED COACH OF THE YEAR FINALIST
The 2013 MLS Cup was the most recent home match Sporting KC has played in the MLS Cup Playoffs, and signalled their second MLS Cup victory and is part of a proud decade that has seen the club win four major trophies - the second highest total since the start of 2012, only trailing Toronto FC who won the treble in 2017.
Vermes, who was previously an MLS Coach of the Year finalist in 2011 and 2012, guided Sporting KC to a combined 3-0-0 record against Atlanta and LAFC this season with six goals scored and just one allowed from the penalty spot, also shutting out both teams the two highest scoring sides in MLS - in their home venues.
On that night - a frigid December 7, 2013 - it was the visiting Real Salt Lake that took the lead in the second half through Alvaro Saborio low strike, only for eventual MLS Cup MVP Aurelien Collin to equalize with a bullet header for Sporting KC. An epic 10-round penalty shootout ensued, with Salt Lake missing four penalties to Sporting KC’s three, as Lovel Palmer’s decisive spot kick crashed off the bar to give the home side the cup.
Now in his 10th year as manager, Vermes has led Sporting KC to a first-place finish in the Western Conference and overseen one of the best regular seasons in club history. The 2018 campaign saw Sporting KC set team records in goals (65), assists (69), goal differential (+25) and shots (583) while amassing 18 wins and 62 points, both of which are second-most for the club all-time.
Sporting Kansas City is set to host Real Salt Lake at Children’s Mercy Park in the MLS postseason for the first time since the 2013 MLS Cup Final when the two sides face off on Sunday in the second leg of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Last week, Sporting Kansas City Manager Peter Vermes was named as one of three finalists for the MLS Coach of the Year award. Vermes is up for the accolade alongside Atlanta United FC’s Tata Martino and Los Angeles FC’s Bob Bradley.

Zusi ranks second in club history in both regular-season assists and regular-season appearances.
Sporting Kansas City has had few issues scoring goals so far in the 2018 season. Peter Vermes’ side has found multiple goals in 24 of the club’s 38 matches in all competitions this season and has only been shutout six times. Sporting KC finished the regular season as the fourth highest scoring team in MLS with 65 goals, while the side has scored 73 goals when including the MLS Cup Playoffs and U.S. Open Cup play.
2026 WORLD CUP HEADING TO NORTH AMERICA
The United Bid of Canada, Mexico, and the United States was selected to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Wednesday, June 13 by the 68th FIFA Congress in Moscow. Kansas City is one of 23 Candidate Host Cities in the United Bid.
Sporting has 16 different goalscorers this year in MLS play - which is tied for the second highest number of goalscorers across a single squad this season. In 2018, SKC has found goals from Daniel Salloi (11), Johnny Russell (10), Diego Rubio (9), Felipe Gutierrez (7), Gerso Fernandes (5), Ilie Sanchez (4), Ike Opara (3), Yohan Croizet (3), Roger Espinoza (3), Khiry Shelton (2), Graham Zusi (2), Jimmy Medranda (2), Cristian Lobato (2), Wan Kuzain Wan Kamal (1), Krisztian Nemeth (1) and Gianluca Busio (1).
The vote, which occurred a day before the start of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, also marks the first time three nations have been selected to co-host a FIFA World Cup and the first time the FIFA World Cup will be played in North America in 32 years. The United Bid offers FIFA and its 211 Member Associations unity, certainty, and opportunity as they prepare to host the largest FIFA World Cup in history.
The 6-0 triumph over Vancouver Whitecaps FC on April 20 tied club records for largest margin of victory and most goals scored in a competitive match. Sporting KC finished the year with 65 goals in 34 regular-season matches this year, having scored 40 in all of 2017. The last time Sporting KC hit six goals in an MLS match was on June 20, 1999.
With the FIFA Congress decision to award the 2026 FIFA World Cup, to the federations of Canada, Mexico, and the United States, the three nations will jointly manage preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup until FIFA establishes their operations to manage the competition. Among other decisions, FIFA will make the final selection of host cities for the 2026 competition from the 23 candidates proposed in the United Bid.
SKC found it difficult to score on the road last season, only scoring 10 times in the club’s 17 away games in 2017 and winning twice on the road. In the side’s 17 regular-season road games this year, Sporting surpassed the last two years’ combined goals total with 31 and recorded eight road wins over Chicago (March 10), the LA Galaxy (April 8), Atlanta United (May 9), Houston (Aug. 4), LAFC (Aug. 11), San Jose (Sept. 15), Vancouver (Oct. 17) and Dallas (Oct. 21). Sporting also only scored multiple goals on the road two times in 2017 but did so in 10 of the club’s 17 away games in 2018.
Each of the United Bid’s 23 proposed stadiums are fully built, occupied and operational, ensuring long-term use following the 2026 World Cup. The United Bid has 150 existing world-class training facilities, millions of hotel rooms, and advanced infrastructure. The United Bid is expected to generate more than $14 billion in revenue and $11 billion in profits for FIFA, which will be shared with the 211 FIFA Member Associations, helping further develop and expand the game of football across the globe.
VERMES ERA CONTINUES
Now in the midst of his 10th season at the helm of Sporting KC, manager Peter Vermes has guided his side to yet another postseason appearance in 2018 - clinched following the 1-1 draw with the LA Galaxy on Oct. 6. The 1-0 win over Houston on Aug. 4, 2018 saw Vermes coach his 302nd regular-season match - becoming the all-time leader in games coached with one club in league history.
PLAYOFF STREAK EXTENDED
With the 1-1 draw against the LA Galaxy on Oct. 6, 2018, Sporting KC continued its impressive streak of postseason appearances, becoming just the sixth club in MLS history to make at least eight straight trips to the MLS Cup Playoffs, while Manager Peter Vermes is now just the third coach to lead the same team to eight straight playoff appearances.
Vermes is the longest tenured coach that is currently coaching a team in Major League Soccer, having been in charge of Sporting KC since 2009 - one year longer than Ben Olsen has been at the helm at D.C. United. Vermes became the longest tenured coach in MLS when then LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena took the USMNT job in late 2016.

Vermes has guided Sporting KC to four titles under his watch, winning three Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups in 2012, 2015 and 2017, and the MLS Cup in 2013. His trophy haul ranks as the second highest among active MLS coaches - only trailing Toronto FC’s Greg Vanney’s five championships. On a local level, Vermes’ 10 years with SKC is the second longest tenure by a head coach in the history of major KC professional sports behind Super Bowl champion and Pro Football Hall of Famer Hank Stram, who was Chiefs head coach from 1963-1974. Vermes has compiled a 164-115-93 record in all competitions with Sporting KC, including a remarkable 20-6-3 mark in U.S. Open Cup contests. Vermes’ 133 wins in MLS regular-season action ranks fifth all-time and third among active coaches in MLS, trailing Los Angeles FC’s Bob Bradley and the LA Galaxy’s Dom Kinnear.

CONTINUITY ABOUND
On Tuesday, September 4, Sporting Kansas City announced that the club has re-signed MLS All-Star quartet Matt Besler, Roger Espinoza, Ilie Sanchez and Graham Zusi to new multi-year contracts with the club. Besler, Espinoza and Zusi were all set to become free agents at the conclusion of the 2018 MLS season, while Ilie had a club option for 2019.
VERMES VERBATIM
See below for postgame reaction from Sporting KC Manager Peter Vermes following the 1-1 draw with Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium on November 4, 2018.
Besler, 31, is SKC’s all-time leader in appearances, starts and minutes played across all competitions. The 10-year veteran is a five-time MLS All-Star (2011, 2013-16), a twotime MLS Best XI selection (2012-13) and was named the 2012 MLS Defender of the Year. Besler has helped SKC secure four major trophies this decade, with the 2013 MLS Cup hoisted amidst three Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup titles in 2012, 2015 and 2017.
On Diego Rubio getting the goal right off the bench: “First off, he is deadly in and around the box when he gets those kinds of opportunities. The other is, I think he is a little bit of a magnet. We talked about it at halftime, I don’t think we turned them over enough in their half and we talked about wanting to turn them over in the second half, a little bit closer to goal. He comes on and we turned it over right then, he took it and fired away. It’s a great away goal, especially with the way that playoffs are. It’s a big goal. It’s good to get a result here and now go home.”
Espinoza was a 2008 MLS SuperDraft selection that has represented no other MLS club during his 11-year professional career. He was named an MLS All-Star in 2012, the same year he helped guide the team to the U.S. Open Cup title and its best-ever regular-season record, before signing with EPL side Wigan Athletic in 2013. While in England, he helped Wigan to a historic upset against Manchester City in the 2013 FA Cup Final, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1-0 win before returning to SKC in 2015.
On the performance through the first half: “I think both teams were almost feeling each other out. ‘who’s going to do what?’ and nobody ever took the game. Then, in the second half they had some moments, we had some moments, again nobody really grabbed it. It was just they have it a little bit, we have it a little bit, a little bit of back and forth, but nobody really ever hammered it home.”
Ilie has been one of the premier defensive midfielders in MLS since signing for Sporting KC in early 2017, ranking in the top 10 in successful passes, duels won and interceptions over the last two seasons combined. During that time, the Spaniard has started all but one of Sporting KC’s games in all competitions, playing every minute in each appearance. He earned Sporting KC Newcomer of the Year honors last fall after helping the team to its third U.S. Open Cup title in six seasons. 6

Sporting KC Game Notes | November 11, 2018 vs. Real Salt Lake | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes Manager | 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 the midst of his 10th season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2018 and is the longest-tenured active head coach in MLS. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 164 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 regular-season standings in 2011 and 2012, as well as the Western Conference in 2018. 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 133 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. 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 has coached 372 total games during his Kansas City coaching career, most in club history.
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 the 2018 campaign. 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.
Vermes oversees all soccer operations for Sporting KC, including the active roster, the Swope Park Rangers (USL) 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.
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.
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.
Assistant Coach | Zoran Savic
Vermes was an integral part of a young U.S. team at the 1990 World Cup in Italy, where he nearly scored a sensational goal 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 Figueras of the Spanish Second Division.
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.
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.
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.
Vermes joined Kansas City in 2000 for what would be the most successful seasons 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.
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.

Baird established himself as an impact player for RSL as the club compiled a 6-2-2 record in regular season matches where he recorded either a goal or an assist.

The Croatian former Union Berlin captain scored his appearance off the bench on March 30 against Toronto FC. A week later, Baird first goal in an April 21 match with the Colorado Rapids, setting the tone for RSL started his first ever match and registered his first professional assist in a 2-1 winning the Rocky Mountain Cup for the 10 th time in the last 12 seasons. A versatile victory over Vancouver Whitecaps FC on April 7.

REAL SALT LAKE RETURNS TO THE POSTSEASON FOR THE NINTH TIME IN THE LAST 11 SEASONS Real Salt Lake earned its first playoff win since 2013 on Thursday in a 3-2 victory over LAFC in the Knockout Round of the Audi 2018 MLS Cup Playoffs. That sends RSL through to the Western Conference Semifinals and a meeting with archrival Sporting Kansas City on Sunday, November 4 at Rio Tinto Stadium, with the second leg on Sunday, November 11. MF Damir Kreilach scored two goals and set up the third when FW Jefferson Savarino’s shot was deflected in for an own goal.

In 2013, Salt Lake reached the final, but lost in a shootout to Sporting Kansas City. Overall, RSL is 6-8-7 in 21 matches in the MLS Cup Playoffs with three matches going to a shootout and RSL winning in two of those three shootouts.
RSL YEAR IN REVIEW
wins over the Colorado Rapids and LA Galaxy and a draw with Minnesota United. In the win over the Galaxy, he scored a hat trick, becoming the first RSL player to score three goals in a match since Javier Morales in 2014. In RSL’s home finale against the New England Revolution, he had one goal and two assists, bringing his season totals to 12 goals and eight assists.
MF Albert Rusnák starred for RSL and the Slovakian National Team, taking a step forward for club and country in 2018. For RSL, he had three matches with at least one goal and one assist, two different streaks of three matches with at least one goal or assist, and two braces to the finish the season with 10 goals and seven assists, giving him 17 goals and 21 assists in 61 matches over two seasons for the club. He scored in three consecutive matches from August 18-September 1, scoring two goals off the bench in a comeback win over the Houston Dynamo to become the first player in MLS history to score an equalizer and game-winner in stoppage time, one goal in a 6-0 win over the Colorado Rapids and finally two more goals – to go with one assist – in a 6-2 win over the LA Galaxy. In addition, he also scored three goals for Slovakia as he becomes a more prominent player for his national team at 24 years old. FW Joao Plata continued his successful run with RSL, scoring eight goals and eight assists in 25 matches to give him 24 goals and 25 assists in the last three seasons and lift his RSL totals to 45 goals and 43 assists since coming to the club in 2013. From July 14-September 1, he had five goals and five assists in nine matches, appearing as a substitute in two of those contests.

FW Jefferson Savarino took a while to find his groove in 2018, but once he adjusted in his second MLS season, he became a regular contributor to the score sheet. Through June, he had just two goals and two assists, but after scoring in a 4-2 win over rival Sporting Kansas City on July 4, he rallied to finish the year with five goals and nine assists over a stretch of 14 matches all while balancing frequent trips with the Venezuelan National Team. He would finish the year with seven goals and 11 assists in 32 appearances to bring his two-year totals to 13 goals and 16 assists in 54 matches. All before his 22 nd birthday on November 11.
Longtime teammate and RSL Captain Kyle Beckerman’s reaction? “Let’s get 300.”
FW Luis Silva brought a veteran presence to the attacking core, finishing the season with five goals. In one stretch from May 30-July 7, he tallied four of those goals in just 159 minutes, showing that he can contribute in a substitute role in RSL’s deep and balanced attack.
IRON MAN BECKERMAN - #300
FW Sebastian Saucedo also proved to be a solid option for Head Coach Mike Petke, totaling three goals and five assists in 1,031 minutes that came primarily as a spark off the bench. During one stretch from May 19-May 30, he had one goal and three assists, including his first MLS goal in a 1-0 road win over Seattle Sounders FC. In RSL’s home finale, he had one goal and one assist in one of his 10 starts on the season in a 4-1 win over the New England Revolution. Another product of the vaunted RSL Academy, he is already in his fifth professional season at just 21 years old.
RSL YEAR IN REVIEW CONT. Beckerman led the charge from his holding midfield spot, with his rugged leadership providing RSL’s heartbeat over his 29 starts. A veteran of 19 MLS seasons, the 36-year-old captain broke up the opponents’ rhythm while playing frequently alongside MF Sunny, but also scored the gamewinning goal as a substitute in a 2-1 win over the Houston Dynamo for his only goal of the season on May 30. DF Brooks Lennon made the move from forward to right back in the absence of DF Tony Beltran – as the steady defender was out the entire season after suffering a knee injury late in the 2017 season. Lennon filled in admirably and started in 31 matches in the right back position, contributing five assists while steadily improving on the defensive side of the ball throughout the year, earning the RSL Academy product the club’s Defensive Player of the Year honors. On the opposite side, DF Aaron Herrera stepped into the left back role and provided stability over the final 14 matches of the season. The rookie out of the University of New Mexico and another RSL Academy product moved from his typical right back spot to the left side and nailed down the starting role, seeing RSL to a 4-1-4 record in his first nine starts at the position. DF Justen Glad was a consistent presence in the middle of the back line, partnering most often with veteran DF Marcelo Silva and MLS debutant DF Nick Besler, who captained the USL’s Real Monarchs SLC to the USL Regular Season Championship in 2017. For his part, Glad was second in MLS with 92 interceptions and fourth in the league with 27 blocks. All the while, he started in 50 consecutive matches, the active leading streak when it came to an end on October 18. Rimando, meanwhile, turned in another stellar season, starting in 33 matches while posting a 13-13-7 record with seven shutouts and a 1.73 goals against average. The MLS all-time goalkeeping leader extended his career marks to 209 wins, 144 shutouts while stopping two more penalties to give him an astounding 24 PK saves in his illustrious career.
CELEBRATING THE G.O.A.T. On May 15, RSL celebrated a 3-2 victory over visiting D.C. United, a result forever known as legendary GK Nick Rimando’s 200th career MLS reg. season victory … Now in his 19th MLS season and known as both the MLS “G.O.A.T.” (“Greatest of All Time”) and the “Wall of the Wasatch,” Rimando owns virtually every meaningful record in league annals, with 485 games played (all starts),
209 wins, 144 shutouts, 43,000+ minutes and 1,630 saves, amongst other records …
Rimando has now missed only 132 minutes of MLS action due to injury after being removed from games he started, including 45 on August 15 after just missing 87 total minutes earlier in his career, including last year at home against Atlanta, when a second-half hand injury sidelined the GOAT …
With each and every appearance, RSL Captain Kyle Beckerman extends his all-time MLS marks for field players with 463 GP, 432 starts and 38,638 minutes played … As a result of his consistent service, Beckerman also leads the all-time tally in fouls committed (704) and yellow cards (110). The 2-1 loss at Columbus on June 30 marked KB5’s 300 th career reg. season start for RSL. Beckerman’s assist on the game-opening goal on August 25 against Colorado was the 50th of his MLS career, making him the 22nd player in MLS history to record at least 50 goals and 50 assists in his career. Also on that list are five former RSL players – Javier Morales, Jason Kreis, Jeff Cunningham, Chris Klein and Clint Mathis. Beckerman is joined by GK Nick Rimando as the lone RSL men to appear in all 22 of the club’s all-time postseason contests, as the former Miami Fusion castoffs have guided the club to the playoffs in nine of the last 11 seasons. Beckerman was the first-ever MLS field player to appear in 400 or more games, joining GKs Nick Rimando (now 485 – all starts) and Kevin Hartman (416). Seattle defender Chad Marshall also joined that list this season and now has 401 career appearances.
REAL SALT LAKE @ SPORTING KANSAS CITY Children’s Mercy Park – Sun., November 11, 2018 – 1 :00 p.m. MT Western Conference Semifinal – Leg Two TV: ESPN RADIO: ESPN 700 AM (ENG) / 104.7 FM (SPN)
REAL SALT LAKE’S GROWING PYRAMID In 2015, RSL expanded its development pyramid with the addition of Real Monarchs SLC, one of several MLS-operated expansion clubs in the now 33team USL. Former Head Coach Freddy Juarez – now an assistant with the first team - had enjoyed success developing homegrown players at the RSLArizona Academy in Casa Grande, Ariz., prior to moving to the professional ranks. For 2018, the Monarchs called the newly-constructed Zions Bank Stadium in Herriman, Utah, home. In August of 2017, Real Salt Lake's vaunted Arizona-based Academy moved north to the club’s primary training center in Herriman, Utah, approximately 20 minutes southwest of Rio Tinto Stadium. The $78 million facility now serves as the club’s cornerstone, its daily training home opening in 2018 for both of the club's men’s professional teams – Real Salt Lake (MLS) and Real Monarchs (USL) - while centralizing the club's U-19, U-17 and future U-15 development academy youth selections. The Herriman facility also provides adjacencies for an on-site charter school with STEM disciplines (Science/Technology/Engineering/Math) for nearly 300 local boys and girls . Led by Martin Vasquez – who played 17 years professionally in both the U.S. and Mexico before coaching with LA Galaxy, Chivas USA, Bayern Munich and the U.S. National Team – RSL’s Academy setup looks to continue its perennial U.S. Soccer Development Academy success integrating with the club’s professional sides. Under his guidance, Vasquez and the RSL Academy have developed a setup that has produced professionals year-after-year for seven years, laying the groundwork for a system that has produced 16 homegrowns for RSL since 2011. The January signing of three-time Stanford national champion Corey Baird brings RSL’s list of Academy products on the current roster to eight, joining DF Danilo Acosta, FW Jordan Allen, DF Justen Glad, MF Jose Hernandez, DF Aaron Herrera, DF Brooks Lennon and FW Sebastian Saucedo. Other past Homegrown signings include Nico Muniz, Donny Toia, Lalo Fernandez, Benji Lopez, Phanuel Kavita, Fito Ovalle and Ricardo Velazco, while former RSL DF Carlos Salcedo was signed to a standard MLS contract. Since coming to RSL at the beginning of last season as head coach of the Real Monarchs, Petke was stricken with the opportunity to work with someone of Vasquez’s background. Now as RSL’s boss, he works in lock- step with Vasquez as the two draw up the blueprints to the future of Real Salt Lake. “He’s been at the highest level as a player and a coach. How we’re able to have somebody like this at our academy blows my mind. But I’m extremely excited about it,” Petke said. “He just has a deep knowledge of the game. And he has that temperament of dealing with kids coming up through the ranks. His knowledge of tactics is spot on. It coincides with how I like to play and how we want to play. And he is able to get the most out of these kids psychologically, physically and tactically. My hat’s off to him. I love working with him.” Last December in North Logan, Utah, RSL Owner Dell Loy Hansen ceremoniously opened the first of eight planned “regional training centers” across Utah and Arizona to be built in the next two years. Each $5-6 million RTC houses a classroom, as well as an indoor and outdoor field, dedicated to fulfilling a curriculum based on the club's vision and mission for youth soccer training and education, and the continued development of both recreational and competitive pre-Academy (ages 7-14) initiatives across the InterMountain West. In January, RSL announced that it would extend its youth development presence in Arizona, as Sereno Soccer Club merged with Legacy Soccer Club under the Claret-and-Cobalt umbrella, with more than 7,000 boys and girls between the ages of 4-18 now composing a Phoenix-based “RSL
Arizona” setup. The partnership allows Real Salt Lake to continue its Arizonabased cultivation of talent, as Sereno has long been one of the premier youth soccer clubs in the United States and the top club in Arizona. During its nearly four decades of history, Sereno accounts for over 150 Arizona State Championships, 12 Regional Championships, four National Finalists and 2 National Championships. The newly-combined RSL-Arizona has developed more than 30 professional players in the men's and women's games' highest levels, while boasting more than 70 players who have represented 14 countries at the youth or senior level amongst its alumni base. Notable Sereno products with ties to Real Salt Lake include current RSL FW Brooks Lennon and former players such as Robbie Findley. Current and former U.S. Women's National Team icons hailing from the Arizona development juggernaut include Julie Ertz and Sydney Leroux, among others. In 2016, the RSL Foundation was established, created with the goals of being active in the community year-round, utilizing the popularity and reach of RSL and the Monarchs in promoting health and wellness for children throughout the region, engaging supporters of soccer to raise funds and volunteer time for various local initiatives. Projects undertaken by and supported with Foundation resources include the Club’s “Unified Team” with Utah Special Olympics, statewide field restorations, referee training and community service.
