HEAD COACH GIOVANNI SAVARESE Entering his first season with the club after being named head coach on Dec. 18, 2017, Savarese, the third head coach in Portland’s MLS history, brings over 25 years of professional experience as a player and coach to the Timbers organization. A native of Caracas, Venezuela, Savarese joined the Timbers after spending the past five seasons as the head coach and sporting director of the New York Cosmos, where he developed one of the most successful clubs in the NASL, compiling a 6526-44 record in 135 regular-season games, including a career-best 20-7-5 record in 2016 and an undefeated NASL Spring Season in 2015. Additionally, the Cosmos scored 223 goals during Savarese’s five seasons at the helm, which rank as the most in the NASL during that stretch. Savarese also led the Cosmos to four Soccer Bowl appearances, claiming the 2013, 2015 and 2016 championships. Most recently, after a 10-7-15 record in the 2017 regular season, Savarese guided the Cosmos to their third straight appearance in the NASL championship match, narrowly falling 2-0 to the San Francisco Deltas. Prior to joining the Cosmos organization, Savarese, who holds a USSF “A” license, served as the head of youth development for the New York MetroStars/Red Bulls from 2005-2007, before joining the Cosmos as the club’s academy director in 2010, with a focus on developing youth talent in the greater New York area. Savarese served as the Cosmos academy director for two years before being announced as the head coach of the first Cosmos team in 28 years on November 19, 2012. Savarese enjoyed an 18-year professional playing career, including five seasons in Major League Soccer, scoring 159 goals in 322 games played in various leagues in the United States, Venezuela, Italy and England. At the international level, Savarese earned 30 caps for the Venezuela National Team from 1989-2001, scoring 10 goals, including a notable finish against South American rival Argentina in 1996. After beginning his professional career in Venezuela with Deportivo Italia in 1986, Savarese spent five seasons (1990-95) playing in the Cosmopolitan Soccer League and the USISL before being drafted by the MetroStars in the inaugural MLS SuperDraft in 1996 as the ninth overall selection, notching a teamrecord 41 goals and 94 points in 85 regular-season appearances during three seasons with the club. The striker’s record stood until 2009 when it was surpassed by Juan Pablo Angel. Following his three seasons with the MetroStars, Savarese spent the 1999 MLS campaign with the New England Revolution, scoring 10 goals in 27 appearances. Shortly afterward, Savarese joined Italian Serie A club A.C. Perugia and was loaned to A.S. Viterbese in 2000, before returning stateside to join the San Jose Earthquakes in the 2000 MLS season. After a brief stint with the Earthquakes, Savarese joined Swansea City where he scored 14 goals across all competitions, prior to signing with Millwall F.C. in 2001. Following short spells with Venezuelan club Deportivo Italchacao and Italian club Sassari Torres, Savarese’s playing career concluded in 2004 after scoring five goals in 10 appearances with the Long Island Rough Riders. In the collegiate ranks, Savarese enjoyed a four-year (1990-93) playing career with Long Island University after moving to the United States from Venezuela in 1990. Savarese has also served as a member of the media, working as an analyst for ESPN International and ESPN Deportes. Giovanni and his wife, Michelle, have two daughters, Valentina and Alessandra.

NOTES • • •

•

The Timbers advanced to the Western Conference Championship for the third time (2013, 2015, 2018) in the last six seasons. Portland has knocked Seattle out of the playoffs three times in the club’s history across all eras (1975, 2013, 2018). In 15 MLS playoff matches, the Timbers have posted a record of 7-4-4 with 25 goals scored. Their goals-per-game average of 1.67 is fourth-highest among all MLS teams. Since MLS returned to the two-conference playoff format, the 2018 Timbers are just the second Western Conference team to score two or more goals in each of their first three matches of a single postseason. The only other Western Conference team to accomplish this was the 2013 Timbers.

We believed we could achieve great things together. The guys fought the entire match against a very good team.

PORTLAND TIMBERS VS. SPORTING KANSAS CITY SUNDAY, NOV. 25, 2018 SCOUTING SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City (18-8-8, 62pts) finished the 2018 regular season as the first seed in the Western Conference. Sporting Kansas City enters Sunday’s match following a 4-2 win over Real Salt Lake in the second leg of the Western Conference Semifinals at Children’s Mercy Park on Nov. 11, to claim a 5-3 aggregate victory. In two postseason matches, forwards Diego Rubio and Daniel Salloi lead the team with two goals apiece, while goalkeeper Tim Melia has made nine saves and posted a 1.50 goals-against average.

TIMBERS IN THE MLS CUP PLAYOFFS The Timbers return to the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs for the fourth time in their MLS history, also marking the first time Portland has qualified for the postseason in consecutive seasons during its MLS era. Portland holds a 7-4-4 overall record in the playoffs. In the MLS era, Portland and Sporting Kansas City faced off against one another in the Knockout Round of the Audi 2015 MLS Cup Playoffs, with the Timbers defeating Sporting KC in a dramatic, 7-6 win on penalty kicks to advance to the Western Conference Semifinals on Oct. 29, 2015.

REGULAR SEASON AT A GLANCE Portland concluded the regular season with 15 wins, which tied for the most wins in a single season (2017) in the club’s MLS era. With 15 wins, head coach Giovanni Savarese is tied for the third-most wins by a head coach in his first year as an MLS head coach. Additionally, the 54 goals scored during the regular season ranks as the third-highest total for the club dating back to the club’s inaugural MLS season in 2011.

HOME FORM IN MLS CUP PLAYOFFS Following their 2-1 win at Providence Park over Seattle Sounders FC in the first leg of the Western Conference Semifinals on Nov. 8, the Timbers improved to 3-2-2 in seven home playoff matches dating back to Portland’s first playoff appearance in 2013.

TIMBERS AT PROVIDENCE PARK Sunday’s Western Conference Championship first leg match will be the 21st and final home game of the 2018 season for Portland. The Timbers are 14-2-4 in all competitions at Providence Park this season, having scored 35 goals while conceding just 14.

PORTLAND IN CONFERENCE FINALS

FORM ENTERING PLAYOFFS Portland finished the regular season 5-3-2 in its final 10 games dating back to Aug. 29. Midfielder Sebastián Blanco registered four goals and six assists during that timespan, being named the MLS Player of the Week for Week 28 and 32 after performances in a 2-0 win over the Colorado Rapids on Sept. 8 and a 4-1 win away at Real Salt Lake on Oct. 6.

TWICE AS NICE Since MLS returned to the two-conference playoff format in 2003, the 2018 Timbers are just the second Western Conference team to score two or more goals in each of its first three matches of a single postseason. The only other time a Western Conference team accomplished the feat was when Portland also did it in 2013.

10 X 10 CLUB Sebastián Blanco recorded his 10th goal of the season in the 3-0 win over RSL on Oct. 21. With the goal, the Timbers became the fourth set of teammates since 2000 and the eighth set of teammates in MLS history to each have double-digit goals and assists in the same season. Blanco had 10 goals and 11 assists for Portland in 2018, while Diego Valeri recorded 10 goals and 12 assists.

CLOSING OUT GAMES Heading into Sunday’s match, the Portland Timbers have been effective at closing out games during the 2018 MLS campaign. Including the playoffs, the Timbers have held a lead at the 75th minute mark in 15 games this season, posting a solid 13-1-1 record in those matches.

BETWEEN THE PIPES In 22 regular-season starts this season, goalkeeper Jeff Attinella had only five losses, posting seven shutouts. His goals-against-average of 1.05 finished as the third-lowest during the 2018 regular season amongst goalkeepers with at least 10 starts. Additionally, Attinella’s 404-minute clean-sheet streak (April 14-May 19) is the longest by a Timbers goalkeeper in MLS play. As a team, the Timbers ranked sixth in the league in fewest-goals allowed (48) this season.

VALERI IN MLS CUP PLAYOFFS

This is the third time in the last six seasons that Portland has made it to the MLS Conference Championship round. In all eras of the Timbers as a pro team (since 1975), this is the seventh time the club is one of the final four teams remaining in its league’s playoffs.

Midfielder Diego Valeri scored his first career playoff brace in the 2-1 win over FC Dallas on Oct. 31, becoming the first Timbers player in the MLS era to record a brace in the postseason. In his MLS Cup Playoffs career, Diego Valeri has a combined 11 goals and assists (four goals, seven assists). That is tied for second-most combined goals and assists among active MLS players, just one behind Toronto FC’s Jozy Altidore.

POSTSEASON FIRSTS

ASPRILLA IN MLS CUP PLAYOFFS

Sebastián Blanco and Jeremy Ebobisse scored their first career MLS playoff goals in the 2-1 win against Seattle Sounders FC in the first leg of the Western Conference Semifinals on Nov. 4. Defender Bill Tuiloma made his first career postseason start in the win. With Blanco and Ebobisse’s goals, a total of 39 different players have scored a goal for the Timbers in the playoffs across all eras (since 1975).

Midfielder Dairon Asprilla made his 2018 postseason debut in the 4-2 penalty kick shootout win against Seattle Sounders FC on Oct. 8, recording a goal and an assist. Asprilla is one of two Timbers players to score in three different postseasons for the club, having scored in 2015, 2017 and 2018 along with Diego Valeri.

TIMBERS INJURY REPORT QUESTIONABLE: David Guzmán (thigh) OUT: Roy Miller (thigh), Jake Gleeson (tibia surgery), Foster Langsdorf (knee surgery) * As of Nov. 23, 2018

REIGNING MVP Midfielder Diego Valeri entered the 2018 MLS season as the reigning Landon Donovan MLS Most Valuable Player, after becoming the first Timbers player to receive MLS MVP honors following a record-setting 2017 campaign. Valeri’s record-setting season was highlighted by a team-high 21 goals, a career-high for the midfielder, and a team-high 11 assists, marking the fourth time the midfielder has hit double digits in goals and assists in his five seasons in MLS.

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.

Date Champion

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. MLS CUP The MLS Cup format is a winner-take-all match hosted by the team with the most regular-season points. Like the Knockout Round, away goals DO NOT count. Like the Knockout Round, extra time and, if necessary, penalty kicks will break any tie in regulation. The 2018 MLS Cup Final will be played on Saturday, Dec. 8 at 7 p.m. CT.

#PORvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City continues its quest for the 2018 MLS Cup as the side hits the road for the first leg of the Western Conference Championship, facing the Portland Timbers at Providence Park on Sunday evening. The two sides met twice earlier this season, with Sporting snatching a point in a tightly-contested 0-0 draw at Providence Park on June 9 before taking all three points in a commanding 3-0 victory at Children’s Mercy Park on August 18. Sporting KC is 7-3-4 all-time against the Timbers in the regular season, and have lost just one of their last 10 matches against the Oregon-based side. In the scoreless draw at Providence Park on June 9, both sides threatened as Daniel Salloi hit the crossbar from close range in the first half, before Tim Melia produced a stunning stop on ex-Timber Fanendo Adi in the second period. During the return fixture at Children’s Mercy Park, Sporting KC dispatched the Timbers 3-0 during their perfect 4-0-0 run in the month of August. A first-half brace from Diego Rubio put Sporting in the drivers’ seat, before Johnny Russell put the exclamation point on the result late in the match. Sporting KC and Portland have met once in the postseason - one of the all-time great MLS Cup Playoff matches in the Western Conference Knockout Round in 2015. Rodney Wallace gave the Timbers the lead in the match, before Kevin Ellis equalized to send the game to extra time. Krisztian Nemeth looked to have sent Sporting KC through with a brilliant strike, only for Maxi Urruti to level the game with just minutes remaining. The penalty shootout lasted 11 rounds, with Saad Abdul-Salaam seeing an opportunity to win it for Sporting go begging as his strike hit the inside of both posts before coming out. Portland won the shootout 7-6 after goalkeeper Adam Kwarasey scored his penalty before denying substitute gloveman Jon Kempin for SKC. #PORvSKC: Recent Meetings (SKC leads 7-3-4 in regular season)

Sporting KC Game Notes | November 25, 2018 at Portland Timbers | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

BACK IN THE CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP

GUTIERREZ DROPPING PLAYOFF DIMES

Sporting Kansas City is back in the Conference Championship for the first time since 2013, when the side last won MLS Cup. Sporting KC advanced to this stage with a thrilling 5-3 aggregate victory over Real Salt Lake in the Western Conference Semifinals, recording a 4-2 win in the second leg at Children’s Mercy Park to take the series last Sunday, having played to a 1-1 stalemate at Rio Tinto Stadium the previous week in the opening salvo.

Sporting Kansas City midfielder Felipe Gutierrez continued his excellent maiden season with the club during the 4-2 victory over Real Salt Lake in the second leg of the Western Conference Semifinals at Children’s Mercy Park on Nov. 11. Gutierrez recorded two assists - his second and third of the postseason - on Sporting KC’s first two goals of the match to take the postseason lead in assists across MLS. By recording his second assist of the match on Daniel Salloi’s first-half goal, Gutierrez became the second Kansas City player ever to record two assists in a playoff game. Fellow teammate Graham Zusi was the first to accomplish the feat in 2011. Gutierrez almost had a hat trick of assists, as his pass to Diego Rubio in the second half set up his fellow Chilean to draw a penalty from Nedum Onuoha, which Ilie Sanchez converted.

Sporting KC is 3-4 all-time in Conference Championships, advancing to MLS Cup three times (winning the competition twice), and falling one stage short on four occasions. The last time Sporting KC found themselves in this position was in 2013 when the side faced off against the Houston Dynamo in the Eastern Conference Championship (both sides play in the West today). Sporting KC - who had been knocked out by the Dynamo in the previous two postseasons - played to a 0-0 draw at BBVA Compass Stadium in the first leg before emerging as 2-1 winners in the second leg at Children’s Mercy Park behind goals from C.J. Sapong and Dom Dwyer, despite falling behind to Oscar Boniek Garcia’s third-minute goal.

Gutierrez, a Chilean international who joined Sporting KC in February from Real Betis, now has seven goals and five assists in his debut season with SKC. He earned Player of the Month honors in March after scoring five goals in five games to start his MLS career.

RUSSELL RETURNS FROM SCOTLAND DUTY

Sporting KC has lost just one of their last 10 regular season matches against the Portland Timbers - recording shutouts in eight of those encounters - dating back to the start of the 2014 MLS campaign. In that time, Sporting KC is 5-1-4, including a 2-0-2 mark over the last two seasons. However, in the only postseason meeting between the two sides, Portland claimed a thrilling victory on penalty kicks following a 2-2 draw at Providence Park in the Western Conference Knockout Round in 2015.

Sporting Kansas City winger Johnny Russell returned to Kansas City this week after helping the Scotland National Team earn promotion to League B of the 2020-21 UEFA Nations League over the last few days. Russell played 17 minutes in Scotland’s 4-0 win at Albania on Saturday and was an unused substitute on Wednesday as Scotland defeated Israel 3-2 to clinch first place in Group 1 of UEFA Nations League C. Saturday marked Russell’s ninth senior appearance for Scotland and his fifth since joining Sporting KC at the start of 2018.

TOPPLING THE TIMBERS

Sporting Kansas City is set to face off against the Portland Timbers in the MLS Cup Playoffs for the first time since a dramatic Western Conference Knockout Round clash in 2015 when the side travels to Providence Park for the first leg of the Western Conference Championship on Sunday evening.

SALLOI CONTINUES ELECTRIFYING RUN OF FORM

Sporting Kansas City forward Daniel Salloi put his quality on display once again during the second leg of the Western Conference Semifinals, bagging two goals to send Sporting KC on their way to a 4-2 win on the day and a 5-3 victory on aggregate over Real Salt Lake - taking his tally to 15 goals in all competitions this season.

In that match three years ago, Portland took the lead through Rodney Wallace only for Kevin Ellis to equalize and send the game to extra time. Krisztian Nemeth’s stunning hit looked to have Sporting KC advancing, only for Maxi Urruti to equalize late for the Timbers. In one of the all-time great penalty shootouts in MLS history, it took 11 rounds to separate the teams with Portland goalkeeper Adam Kwarasey converting from the spot before denying Jon Kempin to send Portland on their way to eventually winning MLS Cup six weeks later.

The Hungarian scored his first with a rapid touch and finish off Felipe Gutierrez’s through ball midway through the first half to make the score 2-0, before adding his second in the seventh minute of second-half stoppage time to seal the win with a no-look finish into an open goal after rounding RSL’s Nick Rimando. In scoring twice, Salloi became the first Homegrown Player in MLS history to score twice in a playoff match. He also joined an exclusive club of three previous Sporting KC players who have recorded a postseason brace: Miklos Molnar (2000), Davy Arnaud (2004) and Teal Bunbury (2011).

The two sides met twice in the 2018 regular season, with Sporting KC picking up a tight 0-0 draw at Providence Park on June 9 before dispatching the Timbers comfortably by a 3-0 scoreline at Children’s Mercy Park on August 18. The two sides traded close calls in the first game, with Daniel Salloi hitting the crossbar and Fanendo Adi denied by a brilliant Tim Melia save to keep the score even.

LINDSEY HELPS U.S. U-20s QUALIFY FOR WORLD CUP

Sporting Kansas City defender Jaylin Lindsey has spent the last few weeks in Florida helping the U.S. Under-20 National Team qualify for the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup, which takes place next summer in Poland.

In the second match, Sporting KC piled on the misery for Portland and inflicted their third defeat in eight days following Diego Rubio’s first-half brace and Johnny Russell’s late strike to ice the game as a substitute.

Lindsey has started three of the U.S. U-20s’ seven matches so far in the Concacaf U-20 Championship, helping the side to 7-1, 6-0 and 7-0 wins over Puerto Rico, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and Suriname, respectively, in the Group Stage. He also recorded an assist in the commanding opening victory over Puerto Rico.

Sporting KC has lost one of their last 10 regular-season games against Portland, recording shutouts in eight of those matches. However, those games have been lowscoring as Sporting KC outscored the Timbers just 8-4 in those 10 games.

ACCUMULATION CONSIDERATION

The Homegrown defender missed two Group Stage games while with Sporting KC for the first leg of the Western Conference Semifinals against Real Salt Lake due to Seth Sinovic’s suspension. Lindsey was set to start the first game of the Qualification Stage against Costa Rica on Nov. 16 but withdrew through injury in the warmups. With the victory over Honduras on Nov. 19, the U.S. clinched their berth in the upcoming World Cup, while the U.S. will defend their Concacaf U-20 Championship crown in the Final against Mexico on Nov. 21.

Both Sporting Kansas City and the Portland Timbers enter Sunday’s first leg of the Western Conference Championship at Providence Park with players that need to tread lightly to avoid being suspended for the second leg this coming Thursday at Children’s Mercy Park. For Sporting KC, only Roger Espinoza is currently on caution accumulation warning, having received a yellow card in the 4-2 victory over Real Salt Lake in the second leg of the Western Conference Semifinals. However, Sporting has already been burned by the rule, as forward Diego Rubio is forced to miss Sunday’s match after receiving a yellow card in each leg of the Conference Semifinal.

ATTACKING RECORDS SHATTERED

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.

The Timbers have a significantly lengthier list of players that are a yellow away from suspension: defender Liam Ridgewell along with midfielders Diego Chara, Andres Flores and Diego Valeri. The rule states that once the postseason begins and up until MLS Cup, a player who accumulates two yellow cards in the playoffs will be suspended for the next playoff match for which he is eligible. However, players are exempt from missing MLS Cup with caution accumulation, and only a red card (straight or two yellows) in the second leg of the Conference Championship will force a player to miss MLS Cup.

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). 5

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES Zusi joined Sporting KC in the 2009 MLS SuperDraft and has spent his entire professional career with the club. The University of Maryland product was named the 2011 MLS Breakout Player of the Year before landing six MLS All-Star nods (2012-2015, 2017-18) and two MLS Best XI selections (2012-13). Zusi ranks second in club history in both regular-season assists and regular-season appearances.

Sporting Kansas City has had few issues scoring goals in the 2018 season. Peter Vermes’ side has found multiple goals in 25 of the club’s 39 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 77 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 (13), Johnny Russell (10), Diego Rubio (10), Felipe Gutierrez (7), Gerso Fernandes (5), Ilie Sanchez (5), 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, 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 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 165-115-93 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 4-2 victory over Real Salt Lake at Children’s Mercy Park on November 11, 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.

Thoughts on the match: “Real Salt Lake were very good on the day. I thought that the first half we were fantastic in the way that we played. We scored some great goals and were unlucky not to get a third one in the first half. We had a couple more chances but man, in the late flurry, they had a couple real dangerous opportunities. But at the end, the fourth goal was fantastic. I’m proud of the guys. I’m happy for them because they’ve worked very hard to put themselves in the position to be first in the conference and get home field advantage and ultimately have this second leg at home. Now I’m excited for them to play in the Western Conference Championship. They deserve it.”

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 looking ahead to the Conference Finals: “The good thing is we’ve got a little break. Everybody gets a chance to recover a little bit and then we’ve got to get ready for Portland. It’s going to be an incredible series. They’re a very, very good team both attacking and defending. It’s going to be a tough one.”

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 25, 2018 at Portland Timbers | 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 165 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 373 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.

Goalkeeper coach Alec Dufty enters his second season with Sporting Kansas City having been introduced to the organization as the Swope Park Rangers 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. A former MLS player, Dufty began his playing career with the New York Red Bulls in 2009, going on to make 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.

Fitness Coach | Mateus Manoel

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.

Mateus Manoel is in his seventh season with Sporting KC as Head Fitness Coach. His responsibilities cover all aspects of sport performance and science for the team, including strength and conditioning, injury prevention, field practices, nutrition, fitness monitoring (training load and readiness), player re-adaptation following rehab and recovery. In the summer of 2010, Manoel was an Assistant Fitness Coach for the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team during the FIFA World Cup in South Africa. He had formerly served as the Head Fitness Coach for the Mexican Men’s National Team in 2009, working with renowned coach Sven-Goran Eriksson. During 2007 and 2008, Manoel held a position with Athletes’ Performance in the Home Depot Center in Los Angeles, where he worked with professional athletes from a variety of sports, including NFL, NHL, MLB and MLS (Chivas USA and LA Galaxy). Previously, he had assisted with strength and conditioning for D.C. United, while concurrently holding the position of Sports Performance Director with Velocity Sports Performance in Alexandria, Virginia. Manoel holds a Master’s degree in Exercise Physiology from George Washington University, where he was also responsible for the strength and conditioning needs of the Colonials Men’s Varsity Soccer Team. He also holds a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from the University of Maryland - College Park and is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association. Manoel was born in Brazil and is fluent in both Portuguese and Spanish. 22

Height: 5-11 Weight: 160 Birthday: 12/1/1992 Hometown: Virginia Beach, Virginia College: Virginia Commonwealth University Last Club: Swope Park Rangers (USL) Acquired: Signed on 9/15/2017 Sporting Kansas City signed forward Kharlton Belmar late in the 2017 season from the club’s USL affiliate, the Swope Park Rangers. Belmar led the Rangers with 15 goals in 2017 - setting a new single-season record for the club. Belmar had two goals and two assists for SPR in the 2018 season opener, becoming the joint top scorer for the club and earning him USL Player of the Week and eventually Player of the Month honors.

Belmar added a further three goals and three assists in limited minute during the 2016 season and ended his tenure in Portland with 15 goals and six assists across 53 appearances in the USL. The Virginia Beach, Virginia native attended college close to home at Virginia Commonwealth University, where he had 18 goals and five assists across a four-year career for the Rams. Belmar was named an All-Atlantic 10 First Team selection as a junior and senior and also played for USL Premier Development League sides Mississippi Brilla (2012) and the Portland Timbers U-23s (2014) while at college.

Belmar was selected in the Second Round of the 2015 MLS SuperDraft by the Portland Timbers, and spent the next two seasons playing with Portland Timbers 2. He scored 12 goals in his rookie year in 2015 on his way to garnering USL Rookie of the Year and USL All-League Second Team honors, before spending the tail-end of the 2015 campaign on loan at NASL club the New York Cosmos.
