Sporting KC Game Notes | February 27, 2022 at Atlanta United FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #ATLvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS

#ATLvSKC: HEAD-TO-HEAD Sporting Kansas City is set to open the 27th season in club history this Sunday afternoon when the team travels east to take on Atlanta United FC at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The game marks only Sporting’s fourth match against an Eastern Conference foe since the start of 2021, having faced the New York Red Bulls, Orlando City SC and the Chicago Fire last year. Sporting last faced Atlanta on May 5, 2019 at Children’s Mercy Park, with the visiting Georgians roaring to a 3-0 victory. Josef Martinez scored either side of a goal from Ezequiel Barco as Sporting’s season began to lose steam after a promising Concacaf Champions League campaign. The two sides have only met once at Mercedes-Benz Stadium - coming on May 9, 2018. Sporting KC became just the second team to beat Atlanta at “The Benz” and the first team to keep a clean sheet during a 2-0 victory that night. Atlanta were reduced to 10 men in the first half when Brad Guzan took out Khiry Shelton who was through on goal, giving Sporting the impetus for the remainder of the contest. The visitors took full advantage and second-half goals from Daniel Salloi and Gerso Fernandes sealed a famous victory. The first-ever meeting between the two teams came on Aug. 6, 2017 at Children’s Mercy Park. Sporting KC took the lead in the 59th minute when Benny Feilhaber stepped up to convert a penalty klick after Latif Blessing had been fouled by Leandro Gonzalez Pirez. However, former Sporting KC forward Jacob Peterson pulled Atlanta level, firing home following a scramble in the area deep into second-half stoppage time to steal a 1-1 draw. Date

Sporting KC Game Notes | February 27, 2022 at Atlanta United FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

OPENING DAY

RUSSELL & SALLOI LOOK TO REPEAT CAREER SEASON

Sporting Kansas City are set to open their 27th Major League Soccer season this Sunday when the team travels east to take on Atlanta United FC at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Georgia. Sporting missed out on a first-place finish on the final day of the 2021 season, instead finishing third in the Western Conference and suffering elimination from the postseason at the hands of Real Salt Lake in the Western Conference Semifinals.

Sporting Kansas City duo Johnny Russell and Daniel Salloi will look to repeat their incredible runs of form from the 2021 season when the 2022 campaign kicks off this Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium against Atlanta United FC. In 2021, Russell tallied 16 goals and eight assists in all competitions while Salloi bagged 16 goals and 10 assists. The pair were the most prolific duo in Major League Soccer last season, with their 50 combined goals and assists eclipsing Real Salt Lake duo Damir Kreilach and Albert Rusnak’s 47.

Atlanta endured an up-and-down 2021 season but eventually cemented their spot in the MLS Cup Playoffs by finishing fifth in the Eastern Conference. However their postseason run was short-lived as the Five Stripes were eliminated by eventual champions New York City FC in Round One of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Russell set a new club-record by going 10 regular season matches with a goal or assist - a run that included 11 goals - from Aug. 28 to Nov. 3, 2021. Russell became only the sixth player in MLS history to go 10 consecutive games with a goal or an assist in a single regular season.

Sporting KC has an excellent record in the opening weekend of a season - the team actually leads MLS with 15 season-opening wins all-time, posting a 15-7-4 record in Week 1. Over the previous six seasons, Sporting has gone 3-2-1 in season openers, beating Seattle, Vancouver and the New York Red Bulls in 2016, 2020, and 2021 respectively, falling to New York City and LAFC in 2018 and 2019, while also playing to a scoreless draw against D.C. United in 2017.

When looking at goals alone, Russell and Salloi were part of arguably the best and most prolific attacking duo in club history. The pair combined for 31 goals throughout the 2021 regular season, a total that is only matched by Preki and Digital Takawira who combined for 31 goals during the inaugural 1996 MLS season.

Atlanta, who Sporting will face for just the fourth time ever on Sunday (1-1-1), are 1-3-1 in their season opener over the course of their five years of existence.

CHANGES APLENTY

Sporting Kansas City has welcomed a host of new talent to the club during the offseason heading into the 2022 campaign. The club has brought in defenders Kortne Ford (free agent - Colorado Rapids), Logan Ndenbe (transfer - EA Guingamp), Ben Sweat (free agent - Austin FC) and Robert Voloder (transfer - NK Maribor), midfielder Uri Rosell (free agent - Orlando City SC) and forwards Marinos Tzionis (transfer - Omonia Nicosia) and Nikola Vujnovic (loan - FK Vozdovac).

BACK TO THE BENZ

Sporting Kansas City are set to return to Mercedes-Benz Stadium to take on Atlanta United FC for the first time since early May 2018 when the two teams face off in the opening weekend of MLS action this Sunday afternoon. The all-time regular-season series is locked at 1-1-1 between the two sides. The first meeting took place at Children’s Mercy Park on Aug. 6 of Atlanta’s expansion season in 2017. Benny Feilhaber gave the hosts the lead from the spot before former Sporting forward and current color commentator Jacob Peterson equalized in second-half stoppage time.

A number of players have left the club in the offseason as well: goalkeeper Brooks Thompson (unattached), defenders Amadou Dia (Louisville City FC), Jaylin Lindsey (Charlotte FC), Roberto Puncec (Botev Plovdiv), Luis Martins (unattached) and Graham Smith (Memphis 901 FC), midfielder Ilie Sanchez (LAFC), and forwards Grayson Barber (unattached), Tyler Freeman (unattached) and Wilson Harris (Louisville City FC).

In the only clash to take place at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Sporting took all three points on May 9, 2018. After Atlanta goalkeeper Brad Guzan was shown a straight red card for a dangerous challenge on Khiry Shelton when through on goal, Sporting grabbed the lead in the second half through Daniel Salloi and sealed the victory through Gerso Fernandes late on in the game.

Newcomers Ford, Ndenbe, Sweat, Voloder and Rosell have all enjoyed playing time in preseason for Sporting KC, while Tzionis only arrived in Kansas City following the visa and passport process over the weekend. Vujnovic is the only newcomer yet to join up with the club.

PRESEASON RECAP

The most recent matchup between the sides came on May 5, 2019 at Children’s Mercy Park. Atlanta’s Josef Martinez scored twice, either side of an Ezequiel Barco goal, to clinch a comfortable victory for Atlanta as Sporting were dealing with major injury issues that would plague their 2019 season.

Sporting Kansas City headed to Arizona for the 13th straight preseason in mid-January, spending five weeks of the club’s training camp in the Phoenix suburbs. Sporting played five friendly games throughout preseason, the first four in Arizona and the fifth during an overnight stay in Austin, Texas to close out the trip.

Interestingly, the two teams were set to meet at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on March 14, 2020, but the game was cancelled after MLS suspended the season due to the COVID-19 pandemic on March 12, 2020.

SHELTON’S THE MAN WITH PULIDO OUT FOR SEASON

Following the news in early January that Sporting Kansas City Designated Player Alan Pulido is set to miss the entire 2022 season after undergoing knee surgery, attention shifted to veteran forward Khiry Shelton to lead the line for Sporting this year. Shelton has tallied 11 goals and 13 assists in 80 appearances across all competitions for SKC.

While Shelton has not historically put up huge numbers on the stat sheet, his impact on the team is undeniable when taking into account the club’s winning percentage with the 28-year-old on the field.

Sporting’s four goals in preseason were scored by center back Nicolas Isimat-Mirin, captain Johnny Russell and two from 2021 MLS MVP finalist Daniel Salloi.

Sporting KC Regular-Season Records (2018-present)

Sporting Kansas City II announced on Tuesday that the team will host home matches at Rock Chalk Park in Lawrence, Kan., and Swope Soccer Village in Kansas City for the club’s inaugural MLS NEXT Pro season.

SPORTING KC II MOVING TO ROCK CHALK PARK IN LAWRENCE

WIN PERCENTAGE 65.5% 65.8% 65.6% 45.2%

Rock Chalk Park will host all Sporting KC II home matches from the start of the season in late March until the University of Kansas women’s soccer team kicks off its NCAA season in August, at which time Sporting KC II will play all remaining MLS NEXT Pro home matches at Swope Soccer Village.

Since 2018, Sporting has averaged 1.86 points per match when Shelton plays - that average equates to 63 points in a 34-game regular season. In addition, among all MLS players with at least 70 regular season appearances since 2018, Shelton has the fourthhighest winning percentage at 65.5%.

Sporting KC II is one of 21 founding clubs that will compete in MLS NEXT Pro in 2022. A member of the Western Conference alongside 10 other MLS affiliate teams, SKC II will play 24 league matches in the regular season. The full 2022 MLS NEXT Pro schedule will be announced at a later date.

Late in preseason, Sporting KC announced that the club had signed Montenegro international forward Nikola Vujnovic on loan from Serbian top-flight club FK Vozdovac. Vujnovic, who was fourth in the scoring charts in Serbia with 10 goals in 22 games this season, will compete with Shelton for minutes in 2022 but has yet to arrive in the country as he goes through the visa and passport process.

Rock Chalk Park opened in 2014 and hosts the KU soccer, track and field, softball, and tennis teams. Conveniently located near the conjunction of I-70 and K-10, the natural grass surface is considered one of the best soccer facilities in the Big 12 Conference. The stadium features an attached locker room, players’ lounge, athletic training room, equipment room and multi-level press box for broadcasts. 5

Sporting KC Game Notes | February 27, 2022 at Atlanta United FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes Manager & Sporting Director | Peter Vermes

Assistant Coach | Kerry Zavagnin Assistant Coach Kerry Zavagnin first joined Kansas City in 2000 as a holding midfielder and was an integral part of the club’s midfield for the next nine seasons, during which time he helped lead the Wizards to MLS Cup (2000) and U.S. Open Cup (2004) Championships. He was named to the MLS All-Star team and the Best XI in 2004. Zavagnin’s primary duties as an assistant include scouting, developing Sporting Kansas City’s younger players, breaking down film and assisting with training sessions, among others.

Peter Vermes is in his 14th season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2022 and is the longest-tenured active head coach in MLS. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 206 coaching victories in all competitions are the most club history. During his tenure, he has won four major trophies – the 2012, 2015 and 2017 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups and the 2013 MLS Cup championship – and finished atop the Eastern Conference regularseason standings in 2011 and 2012, as well as the Western Conference in 2018 and 2020. His three U.S. Open Cup championships are the third most in Open Cup history. He is the first coach in club history to lead Sporting KC to eight straight postseason appearances, as well as the only person to ever win the MLS Cup as both a player and a coach with the same team. His 172 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 475 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 14 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 sixth 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 (MLS NEXT Pro) 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 is in his sixth 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.
