LAFC PRESEASON 2019

HEAD HONCHO

Following a historic first season in Major League Soccer, in which the Club reached the postseason after finishing in third place in the Western Conference, LAFC would begin its preparations for its sophomore campaign at the Performance Center in Cal State LA.

LAFC head coach Bob Bradley has now enjoyed two of the best-ever inaugural campaigns for expansion teams in MLS. In 1998, Bradley led the Chicago Fire to MLS Cup and U.S. Open Cup titles, following a 20-12 record. Twenty years later, the former USMNT head coach led LAFC to the most points by an expansion team in Year One and a trip to the posteason.

Bob Bradley’s men played six preseason matches in Los Angeles, posting a 2-2-2 record along the way, including a 3-1 victory over Japanese side Vissel Kobe.

1/27/19 – LAFC 3-1 Toronto FC 1/31/19 – LAFC 4-1 Vissel Kobe 2/4/19 – LAFC 2-4 Columbus Crew SC 2/10/19 – LAFC 2-2 Atlanta United FC 2/16/19 – LAFC 0-3 San Jose Earthquakes 2/23/19 – LAFC 1-0 Vancouver Whitecaps FC

Currently, Bradley is the winningest active head coach in MLS with 140, and is just one of five current managers that have won an MLS Cup (Vermes, Porter, Scmetzer, Vanney).

All-Time Winningest Active Head Coaches 1. Bob Bradley – 140-103-63 2. Peter Vermes – 133-99-82 3. Ben Olsen – 98-118-68

Sporting KC Game Notes | March 3, 2019 at Los Angeles FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #LAFCvSKC: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#LAFCvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City is set to open the 2019 MLS regular season with a trip to take on second-year club LAFC at Banc of California Stadium on Sunday, March 3 on ESPN. Sporting KC has won both earlier matches in club history against LAFC, beating the California side both home and away in 2018.

Sporting KC won the inaugural matchup against Los Angeles FC at Banc of California Stadium on August 11, 2018. The visitors took the lead midway through the first half when Gerso Fernandes slotted home after being played through by Diego Rubio, and Ilie Sanchez doubled the lead from the spot in the second half after Felipe Gutierrez had been fouled in the box to make the final score 2-0.

Sporting KC then hosted LAFC for the first time at Children’s Mercy Park in the 2018 regular-season finale on October 28, with first place in the Western Conference on the line. Sporting took the lead in the first half through Roger Espinoza’s thunderbolt from distance, but LAFC fought back in the second period and equalized when Seth Sinovic was penalized for a handball in the area and sent off, and Carlos Vela converted the penalty kick. However, Sporting KC found a winner even when a man down as Daniel Salloi struck a low shot into the corner to make the final score 2-1 and clinch first place in the West.

Sporting KC already has two games under their belt in 2019, defeating Toluca in the Concacaf Champions League 3-0 at home and 2-0 away, while LAFC will be entering the 2019 campaign with Sunday’s clash as their season opener.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

GERSO STARTS 2019 ON FIRE

While Sporting Kansas City has been in-season since February 21, the focus now shifts to the start of the 2019 Major League Soccer season when the side travels to Los Angeles to face LAFC at Banc of California Stadium on Sunday night. Sporting already has two wins in the bag this year, defeating Mexican side Toluca in the Concacaf Champions League Round of 16 3-0 at home and 2-0 away in the two-legged series.

Sporting Kansas City winger Gerso Fernandes continued his excellent start to the 2019 campaign with another goal in the Concacaf Champions League Round of 16 Second Leg against Toluca on Thursday night, as Sporting KC ran out 2-0 winners on the night and 5-0 victors on aggregate.

Sporting KC finished the 2018 MLS regular season atop the Western Conference standings - defeating LAFC on the final day of the regular season to clinch the number one seed in the West. It was the first time that Sporting had won their conference since topping the East in back-to-back seasons in 2011 and 2012.

Gerso also had a goal and an assist in the First Leg as part of a Man of the Match performance that earned him a spot on the Concacaf Champions League Team of the Week following the initialy fixture. Gerso now has 18 goals and 10 assists across 76 appearances in all competitions for Sporting KC since joining the club ahead of the 2017 campaign.

Unfortunately, after an exciting run in the MLS Cup Playoffs, Sporting KC eventually fell short of MLS Cup when the side suffered a 3-2 aggregate defeat to the Portland Timbers in the Western Conference Championship as Atlanta United FC went on to win MLS Cup. Last season’s run in the postseason marked the first time in five years that the club avoided the now-defunct Knockout Round that saw the side exit the Playoffs early for four straight seasons.

With Sporting KC holding a 3-0 lead following the First Leg at Children’s Mercy Park, Gerso settled the nerves in just the eighth minute when he raced onto Roger Espinoza’s pin-point ball over the top, cut inside his marker and struck a low finish with his weaker right foot through the legs of the goalkeeper. That goal made it 4-0 on aggregate and provided Sporting with the away goal tie-breaker, meaning Toluca would need to score five goals to advance - essentially icing the series.

Entering its 24th year, MLS has grown leaps and bounds over the past decade - much of it coinciding with Sporting KC’s rebrand from the Kansas City Wizards and the opening of Children’s Mercy Park. Sporting KC has qualified for the MLS Cup Playoffs the last eight seasons dating back to the 2011 campaign, winning MLS Cup in 2013 in a penalty shootout at Children’s Mercy Park against Real Salt Lake. Sporting KC also won MLS Cup and their only Supporters’ Shield in the 2000 season with current Manager and Sporting Director Peter Vermes serving as club captain.

ALTITUDE TRAINING PAYS DIVIDENDS

Sporting Kansas City used a creative solution to dealing with the extreme altitude of Estadio Nemesio Diez in Toluca, Mexico - which sits at 8,750 elevation - during the Concacaf Champions League Round of 16 Second Leg on Thursday night: altitude tents.

Sporting provided each player with an altitude tent that they would sleep in for the past month, gradually increasing the simulated air inside the tent from 5,000 feet above sea level, all the way up to 11,200 feet by the end of the program. Additionally, Sporting KC spent the week leading into the Second Leg training in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where the elevation is 5,300 feet - some 4,390 feet higher than the altitude in Kansas City.

POINTS IN THE BANC

Sporting Kansas City heads to Banc of California Stadium to take on Los Angeles FC this Sunday to open the 2019 MLS season with a strong history against Californian sides in recent memory. Sporting KC won both matches against LAFC in 2018, defeating the expansion side 2-0 on the road and 2-1 at home.

All the measures taken clearly paid off as Sporting KC cruised to a 2-0 victory in the Second Leg of their Round of 16 clash to take the series 5-0 on aggregate following a 3-0 victory in the First Leg at Children’s Mercy Park a week earlier. Gerso Fernandes scored a precious away goal in just the eighth minute before Krisztian Nemeth put the icing on the cake with a well-taken penalty midway through the second half.

Sporting KC has a stunning 10-0-4 record against Calfornia-based sides (LAFC, LA Galaxy, San Jose Earthquakes) since June of 2016, including a 5-0-3 mark against the two Los Angeles teams and a 5-0-2 record in the seven road games in that time period.

Sporting KC will not have to deal with altitude in the next round of the Champions League, as the side travels to Panama to take on Club Atletico Independiente which sits just 270 feet above sea level.

In 2018, Sporting KC went 5-0-1 against LAFC, the Galaxy and San Jose, with the only points dropped coming during a 1-1 draw against the LA Galaxy at Children’s Mercy Park on October 6, 2018 - a result that actually clinched a berth in the MLS Cup Playoffs for Sporting.

GLOBE TROTTING

Following Thursday’s 2-0 victory (5-0 agg.) over Toluca in the Concacaf Champions League Round of 16 Second Leg, Sporting Kansas City is in the midst of an unprecedented road trip that is seeing the side play in three countries and covering nearly 10,000 air miles in an 18-day span.

Sporting KC’s first-ever match against LAFC took place at Banc of California Stadium on August 11, 2018. Gerso Fernandes gave Sporting the lead in the first half with a welltaken finish from inside the area, before Ilie Sanchez converted a second-half penalty kick to seal the points after Felipe Gutierrez was fouled while looking to knock home a rebound.

During this 18-day stretch, Sporting will have spent just four full days in Kansas City and played four competitive matches in three different times zones. Three of which will have taken place away from home, each in a different country. The wild travel schedule amounts to six separate flights and approximately 9,760 miles.

The return match at Children’s Mercy Park during Decision Day on October 28, 2018 brought with it a sense of drama as both sides knew that a win would see them win the conference, while Sporting could also win the conference with a draw. Peter Vermes’ side took the lead through a stunning strike from Roger Espinoza before halftime but were pegged back early in the second period when Seth Sinovic was adjudged to have handled the ball on the line, resulting in a penalty and a straight red card. Carlos Vela stepped up to convert the penalty kick, seemingly giving LAFC all the momentum.

However, with about 15 minutes to go, Daniel Salloi received the ball on the top of the area and drove home a low shot to make the score 2-1 and win the conference for SKC.

Date Feb. 18 Feb. 23 Feb. 27 March 1 March 4 March 7

HISTORY MADE IN MEXICO

Sporting Kansas City continued to re-write the history books on Thursday night when the side completed a 5-0 trouncing of Toluca on aggregate following a 2-0 victory in the Second Leg of the Concacaf Champions League Round of 16 at Estadio Nemesio Diez.

The 5-0 aggregate victory was the largest by an MLS team over a Liga MX club in a two-legged Concacaf series.

Sporting have played three away games in a seven-day period just twice previously, in 1999 and 2006. Neither road trip required Sporting to leave the country, let alone do it twice.

NEMETH GOES BACK-TO-BACK

Sporting Kansas City forward Krisztian Nemeth has started the 2019 season like a man possessed, grabbing goals in each of the two legs in the Concacaf Champions League Round of 16 rout over Toluca.

Firstly, this was Sporting’s first triumph in the country of Mexico. The team had lost on each of its four previous visits, scoring five goals and conceding 17, but Thursday saw a reverse in fortune as Sporting held their first-ever lead on Mexican soil when Gerso Fernandes scored early, and Nemeth sealed the deal with a second-half penalty.

Nemeth scored the game-winner in the First Leg before converting a precise penalty kick in the Second Leg. Those two goals in as many games gives Nemeth three goals since returning for a second spell in Kansas City last August.

Sporting helped MLS clubs improve their Champions League record to 5-41-9 all-time in Mexico, joining Toronto FC, the New York Red Bulls, FC Dallas and Seattle Sounders FC as teams who have prevailed on the road against Liga MX outfits. Thursday also marked the first time that an American team has won a two-legged Champions League series versus a Liga MX side in which the second leg was played in Mexico. The only other MLS club to achieve this rare feat was Toronto FC, which did so twice last year.

The Hungarian international, who first played for Sporting KC in 2015, now has 19 goals for the club across 45 appearances in all competitions. Nemeth was a revelation during his first spell in Kansas City, notching 16 goals and seven assists, helping Sporting KC win the U.S. Open Cup in 2015.

Sporting KC Game Notes | March 3, 2019 at Los Angeles FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SHORTEST OFFSEASON EVER

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

2026 WORLD CUP HEADING TO NORTH AMERICA

Sporting Kansas City entered the 2019 season off the back of the shortest offseason in club history, totaling just 83 days between the last match of 2018 and the first match of 2019 when the side beat Deportivo Toluca FC in the Champions League Round of 16 First Leg on Thursday, February 21.

The United Bid of Canada, Mexico, and the United States was selected to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Wednesday, June 13, 2018 by the 68th FIFA Congress in Moscow.

Kansas City is one of 23 Candidate Host Cities in the United Bid. 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 previous record for shortest offseason in club history came after hoisting aloft the MLS Cup in 2013, as the side then had 90 days between that freezing December 13 night and the following season’s MLS opener on March 8, 2014. Subtract seven days and you get the break that Sporting KC has endured this offseason, between the November 29, 2018 loss to the Portland Timbers in the Western Conference Championship Second Leg and the Champions League opener on February 21, 2019.

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.

At the local level, consider the offseason lengths of the Kansas City Royals and the Kansas City Chiefs. The Royals will go 178 days - almost exactly six months - between their 2018 finale and their 2019 MLB opener on March 28. The Chiefs will go at least 227 days between their AFC Championship Game appearance and their 2019 NFL opener, which will come anywhere between Sept. 5-9.

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.

RECORD-SETTING 2018

Sporting Kansas City enjoyed a historic 2018 season that saw the club set new records in multiple attacking categories. Most notably, the club shattered the franchise’s all-time goalscoring record by tallying 65 goals in 34 games, eclipsing the 61 goals the then Kansas City Wizards tallied in their inaugural season in 1996.

PLAYOFF STREAK REACHES EIGHT SEASONS

As well as their overall goalscoring exploits, Sporting Kansas City also set new club records in five other offensive categories: Road Goals (31), Goal Difference (+25), Assists (69), Shots (583) and Corner Kicks (206).

In 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.

Peter Vermes’ side also found multiple goals in 25 of the club’s 40 matches in all competitions last season and was only shutout seven times. Sporting KC finished the regular season as the fourth highest scoring team in MLS with 65 goals, while the side scored 79 goals when including the MLS Cup Playoffs and U.S. Open Cup play.

Sporting had 16 different goalscorers last year in MLS play - which was tied for the second highest number of goalscorers across a single squad this season. In 2018, SKC found goals from Daniel Salloi (14), Johnny Russell (10), Diego Rubio (10), Felipe Gutierrez (7), Gerso Fernandes (6), 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 6-0 triumph over Vancouver Whitecaps FC on April 20, 2018 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.

VERMES ENTERS 11th SEASON

Entering his 11th season at the helm of Sporting KC, manager Peter Vermes looks to achieve more hardware and guide his side to yet another postseason appearance in 2019. The task begins with the Concacaf Champions League, which began at the end of February, before MLS play begins in March and U.S. Open Cup action starts later in the year.

VERMES VERBATIM

See below for comments from Sporting KC Manager and Sporting Director Peter Vermes following the 2-0 victory over Deportivo Toluca FC in the Concacaf Champions League Round of 16 Second Leg on Thursday, Feb. 28.

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.

n what his side accomplished in the two-legged series against Toluca: “The objective was to get through this leg and move on to the next phase. I thought the first 20 minutes were very difficult just for the guys to get used to the altitude, but we got our second wind at about 20 minutes and thereafter. I give the guys a lot of credit, they were tough physically and also tough mentally.”

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’ 11 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.

On scoring the away goal early in the game: “We talked about that they were going to come out very explosive at the beginning and that we were going to have to be brave in playing our way. I thought it took us a couple of minutes and we kept our composure and then at that point, we were stringing one or two passes together, they were pushing a lot of guys forward and then great run by Gerso (Fernandes), awesome ball by Roger (Espinoza) and then Gerso does a great job to cut back on the guy. The goalkeeper almost commits himself too much and Gerso finds the back of the net.”

Vermes has compiled a 167-116-94 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 second among active coaches in MLS, trailing Los Angeles FC’s Bob Bradley.

On if the team can take confidence from this series into a different competition: “I don’t know, I think it’s good that we’ve got a couple of games under our belt, but I also think that every game is different. What you have to always bring to the table which we did these last two games is we brought an incredible work ethic. As I said before, we were tough physically and we were tough mentally and that has to be a consistent scene from game to game so now we have to replicate that again come this weekend.”

Sporting KC Game Notes | March 3, 2019 at Los Angeles FC | 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 entering his 11th season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2019 and is the longest-tenured active head coach in MLS. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 167 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. 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 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.

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 Sporting Executive of the Year by his peers in 2018. Vermes has coached 377 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Goalkeeper Coach | Alec Dufty

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.

Year

Goalkeeper coach Alec Dufty enters his third 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.

Abdul Rwatubyaye joined Sporting KC in early 2019 from Rayon Sports FC in his native Rwanda. He spent three years rising the youth ranks of hometown club APR FC before launching his professional career at age 16 with Isonga FC in 2013.

Rwatubyaye tallied three goals and an assist in 21 games during the 2014-15 campaign, which culminated in a league championship and a berth in the 2016 CAF Champions League. He made an emphatic impact in the tournament’s preliminary round, scoring a hat-trick of headed goals in APR’s 4-1 second-leg victory over Mbabane Swallows to secure a 4-2 aggregate win.

Rwatubyaye has 22 caps for Rwanda and also represented his country at the U-17, U-20, U-23 and senior levels. Rwatubyaye made his Rwanda debut at the 2015 CECAFA Senior Challenge Cup, helping the Wasps reach the tournament final, prior to scoring his first international goal in a 1-1 draw against Cameroon in January 2016.

He debuted for the club last March and signed his first professional contract with the club in July, ending the campaign with 13 games played. His 91.3-percent passing accuracy last season ranked first in the USL among players with at least five appearances.

As a youth, Kuzain previously trained with the United States U-17 Men’s National Team in 2013 and 2014 as well as Dutch club Feyenoord in late 2015.

Goalkeeper Adrian Zendejas signed an MLS contract for Sporting KC in December 2016 after playing for the Swope Park Rangers during the club’s inaugural 2016 campaign. He spent the 2017 season primarily on loan with the Swope Park Rangers, making 25 starts for the club and posting a 0.92 goals against average with 10 shutouts. Zendejas was one of the top goalkeepers in the USL, cementing his pedigree by saving four penalties and scoring the game-winning spot kick in the shootout of the Western Conference Final against OKC Energy FC in November 2017.

Zendajas joined the Rangers in June 2016 and debuted in a 2-1 win over LA Galaxy II on Aug. 27 before starting five of the team’s final seven regular season matches, amassing a

perfect 5-0-0 record with three shutouts, 13 saves and a 0.40 goals against average.

Zendejas carried his great form into the postseason, earning two more clean sheets as the Rangers rattled off three straight victories en route to the USL Cup Final.

The Chula Vista, California native joined Club Tijuana in 2014 and made his debut for the Under-20 team in February 2015. He made 31 total appearances for the U-20 team while helping the Xolos reach the 2015 Apertura final and the 2016 Clausura final. He made his first-team debut in a preseason friendly against Club Leon on July 3, 2015 and played all four preseason games for the Xolos in July 2015.
