SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs NEW YORK RED BULLS SPORTING PARK, Kansas City, Kan. March 8, 2015 (WEEK 1, MLS Game #9) 6 p.m. CT (FS1) A pair of clubs who last faced each other in the MLS Cup Playoffs will open the 2015 season against each other – albeit in different conferences this year – when Sporting Kansas City play host to the New York Red Bulls on the MLS debut on Fox Sports 1. A year ago, the Red Bulls dispatched Sporting when the clubs met in the Knockout Round. But with the addition of expansion teams Orlando City and New York City FC, Sporting have moved to the Western Conference – so if the teams meet again this year, it will have to be in MLS Cup 2015.

SKC last won in the series in the first meeting in 2013.  The teams also met in the Knockout Round of the MLS Cup Playoffs a year ago, the Red Bulls taking a 2-1 victory at Red Bull Arena.  The Red Bulls have come away with points on their last four visits to Sporting Park. Sporting had come away with points on their last three visits to Red Bull Arena before the New York win in the only Harrison encounter last year.  Coaches record: Peter Vermes vs. NYR: P13 W4 L6 T3 … Jesse Marsch vs. KC: P3 W1 L1 T1 SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City saw defense of their MLS Cup championship come up short a year ago, falling at the Knockout Round stage after a fifth-place finish in the Eastern Conference. Peter Vermes is back for a sixth consecutive season in charge of the bench duties, after seeing his side record 49 points last year. TEAM NEWS  Sporting concluded their preseason with a 3-2-2 record following a 1-1 draw with Seattle Sounders FC in the finale of the Desert Diamond Cup in Tucson, Ariz.  Here’s the Sporting team: Tim Melia (Jon Kempin 46); Saad Abdul-Salaam, Erik Palmer-Brown, Jalil Anibaba, Seth Sinovic; Servando Carrasco, Mikey Lopez (Marquis Brooks* 67), Paulo Nagamura; Jimmy Medranda, James Ansu Rogers, Connor Hallisey.  Sporting boss Peter Vermes ran out nine of 11 starters for the full 90 minutes in the match against Seattle, the team’s fourth in the Desert Diamond Cup (where they went 1-1-2).  “It definitely showed in the last 20 to 25 minutes, but at this time of year you don’t expect to be operating at 100 percent,” said SKC assistant coach Kerry Zavagnin. “It was necessary for these guys to have to push through physically and mentally to get 90 minutes. I think they managed that along with the rest of the game really well.”  Krisztian Nemeth scored five goals to lead SKC during their preparation matches, while Bernardo Anor was second with two. Sporting scored 12 goals in their seven preseason matches.  Newcomers James Ansu Rogers and Connor Hallisey also netted goals in the preseason, Hallisey scoring in the finale vs. Seattle.  “In terms of filling the final roster spots, I think we have a good idea of what the guys within camp can contribute,” said Zavagnin. “I think a lot of our young guys have done extremely well, and we have a very good idea of which guys are going to stick around. You can see a lot of that with Connor Hallisey, James Ansu Rogers, Saad Abdul-Salaam and Amadou Dia.”

MLS GAME INFORMATION



Sporting made a key signing in the final days of preseason, acquiring Canadian national team defender Marcel de Jong. De Jong has logged more than 225 club appearances over his past 10 professional seasons in Netherlands and Germany, including stints with Dutch side Roda JC Kerkrade (2006-10) and German Bundesliga club FC Augsburg (2010-14), and has won 31 caps with Canada.

Since then it’s been all change for the Red Bulls, with Jesse Marsch taking over head coaching duties for Mike Petke after his two seasons in charge. TEAM NEWS  The Red Bulls concluded their preseason schedule with a 3-1 loss to Philadelphia Union in the finale of the IMG Suncoast Pro Classic in Bradenton, Fla.  Here’s the Red Bulls team: Luis Robles, Chris Duvall, Damien Perrinelle (Matt Miazga, 46’) , Ronald Zubar, Roy Miller CAP, Lloyd Sam (Peguy Luyindula, 69’), Dax McCarty, Sacha Kljestan, Felipe Martins (Sal Zizzo, 69’), Mike Grella (Anatole Abang, 87’), Bradley Wright-Phillips  2014 MLS Golden Boot winner Bradley Wright-Phillips scored the lone New York goal in the match, his second in as many matches to end the preseason.  The Red Bulls were undefeated in their group to reach the final of the IMG event, going 2-0-1 ahead of Toronto FC, USL side Oklahoma City Energy FC and Danish outfit HB Koge.  “I think from when we were given our first instructions of how to play, with the high press and all that, it’s just gotten better and better each day,” Red Bulls head coach Jesse Marsch said. “You can tell from the results of this tournament that things have worked. We don’t normally have great results in preseason for as long as I’ve been here, so it’s good to start off the season well.”  The Red Bulls concluded their preseason preparations with a 4-2-1 record, only one loss coming against MLS opposition (also falling to the USL Jacksonville Armada in early February).  “The idea is when we do pressure, we go as a group,” goalkeeper Luis Robles said. “It starts from the front and goes all the way to the back. We have to make sure there’s a lot of communication and that our spacing is right. Obviously for me I can’t have too much space between me and my backline. It’s going to put some pressure for me to come out of my comfort zone, but everything that he’s asking for each individual is a little bit out of our comfort zone and I think that’s good. We’re going to grow as players, we’re going to grow as a team and I think we’re excited about the challenge ahead of us.”  The Red Bulls figure to include both new boys Felipe and Sacha Kljestan in their opening day team. Felipe played for new Red Bulls boss Jesse Marsch in Montréal; Marsch and Kljestan were teammates at Chivas USA from 2006-09.  “Everybody knows that we have a lot of quality in the middle with Sacha and Dax. We have quality players,” Felipe said. “[Jesse] knows that I can play a lot of positions in the midfield. Maybe underneath the attacker, but the way we’ve been playing, it’s me and Dax in the middle and Sacha up front. I think this is the way we’re going to play, but he knows I can play other positions. I am ready to play anywhere. I just want to help the team and do my best.” TRANSACTIONS IN: MF Sal Zizzo (trade from NYCFC); MF Sean Davis (Homegrown); MF Leo Stolz (SuperDraft); GK Kyle Reynish (trade from Chicago); MF Felipe Martins (trade from Montreal); DF Andrew Jean-Baptiste (free); DF Damien Perrinelle (re-signed); DF Ronald Zubar (transfer from Ajaccio); MF Sacha Kljestan (ransfer from Anderlecht); FW Mike Grella (free) TRANSACTIONS OUT: FW Thierry Henry (out of contract); FW Saer Sene (option declined); DF Kosuke Kimura (option declined); MF Bobby Convey (option declined); MF Marius Obekop (option declined); DF Ibrahim Sekagya (option declined); DF Richard Eckersley (option declined); DF Jamison Olave (traded to RSL); GK Ryan Meara (loan to NYCFC); MF Eric Alexander (traded to Montreal); DF Ambroise Oyongo (traded to Montreal); MF Tim Cahill (mutual contract temination); MF Eric Stevenson (waived); MF Ian Christianson (waived)

LAST TIME THEY MET

•

The clubs last met in the 2014 MLS regular season on Oct. 26 at Sporting Park. New York earned a 2-0 victory in the regular season finale, securing fourth place in the Eastern Conference standings and dropping Sporting KC to fifth. Bradley Wright-Phillips scored in the 15th and 70th minutes, tying the MLS record for goals in a single regular season with 27. Just four days later, the clubs met in the Eastern Conference Knockout Round at Red Bull Arena. In the clubs’ first ever postseason meeting, New York came from behind to defeat Sporting KC 2-1 to advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals. Dom Dwyer fired his team ahead in the 53rd minute, getting on the end of a Benny Feilhaber through ball before firing low past Luis Robles. Wright-Phillips drew New York level after 77 minutes before heading home the game-winner in the 90th minute. Prior to the match, Sporting KC was unbeaten in 45 straight MLS matches (43-0-2) when leading in the 75th minute. Sunday is the only regular season meeting between Sporting KC and New York in 2015. The clubs faced off at least twice in each of the first 19 MLS seasons.

Sporting KC Game Notes | March 8, 2015 vs New York Red Bulls | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES FOUR MATCHES IN MARCH Sporting KC opens the 2015 regular season with four games in the month of March, including two against clubs that qualified for the 2014 postseason. Their Sunday showdown with the New York Red Bulls marks the first seasonopening matchup between the foes. New York won three of four encounters in 2014, including a 2-1 victory in the Eastern Conference Knockout Round that eliminated Sporting KC from the playoffs. Bradley Wright-Phillips scored six goals in those four matches, three of which at Sporting Park.

SPORTING KC KICKS OFF 20TH SEASON IN MLS One of nine active MLS charter members, Sporting KC opens their 20th season on Sunday against the New York Red Bulls at Sporting Park. The matchup features the top two goal scorers from 2014 as All-Stars Dom Dwyer and Bradley Wright-Phillips go head-to-head on FOX Sports 1 in Sporting KC’s first of 10 nationally-televised regular season matches in 2015. Led by seventh-year Manager Peter Vermes, Sporting KC is the only club to win an MLS Cup (2013), a Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup (2012) and multiple conference regular season titles (2011, 2012) over the past nine seasons. Since 2011, Vermes has guided the team to four straight postseason appearances and 67 MLS victories (including playoffs), third most in the league. During that time, Sporting KC has recorded a league-best 29 road wins.

Now a member of the Western Conference, Sporting KC’s first intra-conference tilt comes next Saturday at FC Dallas. Seattle Sounders FC narrowly eliminated Oscar Pareja’s side last year in the Western Conference Semifinals: FC Dallas lost the away-goals tiebreaker after a 1-1 stalemate through two legs.

In addition to winning championships, the club has seen many of its current players earn individual accolades. Winger Graham Zusi was named MLS Breakout Player of the Year in 2011, while captain Matt Besler received MLS Defender of the Year recognition in 2012. A pair of three-time MLS All-Stars, Zusi (28 caps) and Besler (25 caps) are veterans of the United States Men’s National Team and signed Designated Player contracts with Sporting KC last July after competing at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.

The Portland Timbers visit Sporting Park on March 21 for their first road test of the year. Sporting KC earned a 1-0 road win at Portland last season, but the Timbers have been victorious in each of their last two trips to Kansas City. Caleb Porter’s team left Sporting Park with a 3-2 win in April 2013 en route to finishing atop the Western Conference regular season standings. Last June, Portland eliminated Sporting KC from the 2014 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup with a 3-1 triumph in the round of 16.

Last year, Dwyer scored 22 MLS goals and 24 goals in all competitions to set new single-season records for the club. The 24-year-old has scored 50 goals in all competitions since the start of 2013—28 with Sporting KC and 22 with former USL PRO affiliate Orlando City SC. Now entering his fourth year in Kansas City, Dwyer signed a contract extension during this offseason.

Sporting KC ends the month with their inaugural meeting against expansion side New York City FC on March 28. This will also be Sporting KC’s first ever match played at Yankee Stadium, and just the second MLS regular season game held at the historic venue—following NYCFC’s home opener on March 15 against New England.

Sporting KC also welcomes back Honduran international midfielder Roger Espinoza, who played five seasons for the team from 2008-2012. After becoming an MLS All-Star in 2012, Espinoza moved to Wigan Athletic where he won the 2013 FA Cup title and made 57 total appearances across the English Premier League, English Championship, UEFA Europa League and domestic cups. He is the only active MLS player to have competed in the 2010 and 2014 FIFA World Cups and the 2012 Summer Olympics.

STRONG STARTERS Peter Vermes’ side is 9-3-3 in the month of March over the last five seasons, including a 5-0-2 record at home. Sporting KC has outscored their opponents 26-13 during this stretch while posting seven clean sheets and scoring in all but one match themselves. OFFSEASON OVERHAUL A roster makeover during the offseason saw Sporting KC acquire 13 new players and part ways with 15 members from last year’s squad. While retaining its veteran core – Matt Besler, Graham Zusi, Dom Dwyer, Seth Sinovic and Chance Myers – the club made multiple signings at each position.

RETURNING TO THE WEST Sporting KC rejoins the Western Conference in 2015 as part of conference realignment for Major League Soccer’s 20th season. With expansion clubs Orlando City SC and New York City SC joining the Eastern Conference, Sporting KC and the Houston Dynamo have moved west.

Goalkeepers (2): Luis Marin (31), a Chilean international (eight caps) with 12 years of professional experience in his native country and Sporting KC’s current holder of the No. 1 jersey; Tim Melia (28), a sixth-year MLS veteran who was a League Pool Goalkeeper in 2014 and received a call-up from Sporting KC last summer.

Sporting KC played their first nine seasons (1996-2004) in the Western Conference and reached the postseason on seven occasions. The club shifted to the Eastern Conference prior to the 2005 season and has played each of the past 10 seasons in the East.

Defenders (4): Jalil Anibaba (26), a versatile veteran who has started more than 100 MLS matches over four years with Chicago and Seattle; Saad Abdul-Salaam (23), a right back out of Akron selected 12th overall in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft; Amadou Dia (22), a left back out of Clemson selected 20th overall in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft; Marcel de Jong (28), a Canadian international (31 caps) who has played each of the last four years at FC Augsburg of the German Bundesliga.

Thirteen of the past 15 MLS Cup champions are competing in the Western Conference in 2015. Among the 10 teams, five reside in the Pacific Time Zone, three in the Central Time Zone and two in the Mountain Time Zone. For the 2015 campaign, the 20 teams will each play 34 games during the regular season. Clubs will play each team in the opposing conference once for five home and five away matches. Clubs will play each of their nine conference opponents at least twice (one home, one away), plus six additional intra-conference games -- three home and three away.

Midfielders (3): Roger Espinoza (28), a Honduran international (45 caps) and MLS All-Star who played in Kansas City from 2008-2012 before joining Wigan Athletic in England; Servando Carrasco (26), an MLS veteran who played 60 games over four years with Seattle and Houston; Soni Mustivar (25), a Haiti international who has played each of the last three seasons with Petrolul Ploiesti in the Romanian first division.

SPORTING PARK SELLOUT STREAK Sporting Park has sold out 53 consecutive MLS matches (including playoffs) dating back to March 2012 and 66 of 74 overall since opening in June 2011. Sporting KC has set new regular season attendance records in each of the last four years, eclipsing 20,00 specators per game in 2014.

Forwards (4): Bernardo Anor (26), a fifth-year veteran who played 72 MLS matches and scored 12 goals in Columbus; Krisztian Nemeth (26), a Hungarian international (15 caps) with nearly 10 years of professional experience across Europe; Connor Hallisey (23), a winger out of California selected 10th overall in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft; James Ansu Rogers (22), a winger out of New Mexico selected 53rd overall in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft.

In 74 MLS matches played at the venue, Sporting Park is averaging 19,330 spectators -- good for 104.7 percent of its 18,467-seat capacity. Sporting KC’s average home attendance in 2014 was at 108.7 percent capacity, the highest mark in MLS.

Sporting KC Game Notes | March 8, 2015 vs New York Red Bulls | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES (CONTINUED) SOLID IN SEASON OPENERS Sporting KC has won 12 season openers since 1996 (12-5-2 all-time), more than any other team in MLS. Among the 14 clubs that have played at least five seasons in the league, none have a better season-opening winning percentage (.684) than Sporting KC.

PRESEASON PREPARATION IN TUCSON, ARIZONA Sporting Kansas City prepared for its first season in the Western Conference since 2004 by playing four opponents from the West during the preseason. The club held two training camps in Tucson (Jan. 25 - Feb. 10 and Feb. 15 - March 1), highlighted by two preseason competitions: the 2015 Desert Friendlies and the 2015 Desert Diamond Cup.

Peter Vermes’ side is undefeated (1-0-3) in four MLS home openers at Sporting Park, scoring four goals and conceding just one. Sporting KC is 12-2-5 all-time in regular season home openers, their only losses coming in 1999 and 2009.

Vermes fielded 35 players over the course of seven preseason matches as the team logged a 3-2-2 record. Sporting KC recorded 12 goals and 10 assists, with nine goals (Krisztian Nemeth 5, Bernardo Anor 2, James Ansu Rogers 1, Connor Hallisey 1) and four assists (Anor 1, Ansu Rogers 1, Nemeth 1, Amadou Dia 1) coming from players who joined the club this offseason. • • • •
