SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION LIVESTRONG SPORTING PARK, Kansas City, Kan. March 17, 2012 (WEEK 2, MLS Game #11) 7:30 p.m. CT (KSMO; CSN-NE) Sporting Kansas City make their 2012 home debut on Saturday evening when they meet the New England Revolution at Livestrong Sporting Park in an Eastern Conference matchup. Sporting came away from RFK Stadium with a dramatic 1-0 victory against D.C. United to start off the 2012 season. The Revolution are on the second stop of their seasonopening road swing, kicking off the year with a 1-0 loss at the San Jose Earthquakes last weekend. REFEREE: Silviu Petrescu.

The Revs’ last previous victory in the series had come April 9, 2008, a 3-1 triumph at CommunityAmerica Ballpark.  The teams also faced each other in a U.S. Open Cup play-in match, Sporting rolling to a 5-0 on May 25 at the Blue Valley Sporting Complex.  Coaches record: Peter Vermes vs. NE: P5 W2 L2 D1 … Jay Heaps vs. KC: first game SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City went on the road to open their 2012 season and started things off on the right foot, getting a dramatic match-winner for a 1-0 win against D.C. United at RFK Stadium. LAST MATCH  United ‘keeper Bill Hamid had been the story of the first 90 minutes, stopping Sporting at every turn. But in the third minute of stoppage time, second-half substitute C.J. Sapong lost his marker on a corner kick, found space and placed a clinical header inside the near post for the match-winner.  Sporting head coach Peter Vermes had just one newcomer in his lineup to open the campaign. Bobby Convey slotted into the left side of midfield.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-2-3-1): Jimmy Nielsen - Chance Myers, Aurelien Collin, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic - Roger Espinoza, Julio Cesar - Kei Kamara, Graham Zusi, Bobby Convey (Peterson Joseph 85) - Teal Bunbury (C.J. Sapong 75). TEAM NEWS  Sporting Kansas City is now 11-4-2 all-time in season openers, the best mark among all MLS teams. KC has lost only one season opener in the last 11 seasons.  “We set five objectives coming into the game,” manager Peter Vermes said. “The first was to get a shutout. The second was to get a goal from the run of play. The third was to get a goal off a set piece. The fourth was to pick up points from this game. Fifth was to get our first road win of the season. We got four out of five. I’d say that’s not too shabby.”  A year ago, Sporting scored seven goals from corner kicks, tied for third-most in MLS with FC Dallas, behind nine for Real Salt Lake and Houston.

MLS GAME INFORMATION

   

“We were knocking the ball around very nicely the whole game, but the final pass, the final shot wasn’t there,” said Sapong. “The last 10 minutes, we stepped it up and they couldn’t handle it. You could hear them out there, hoping for a tie. We definitely deserved the win.” Teal Bunbury, who was given the start and played 75 minutes, was called in by the U.S. U-23 national team for the CONCACAF Olympic Qualifying Tournament. “Teal wore them down for sure,” Vermes said. “Then C.J. was able to come in and give us a shot of energy. You have to give him a lot of credit on that set piece. Everybody was pulling and grabbing in there, and he was able to put his head on it.” For the second straight year, Sapong scored in the club’s season-opening match. He struck in the second minute of his MLS debut in 2011 at Chivas USA. “That guy [Sapong], you know, Rookie of the Year last year. That’s the perfect way to start the new season, in front of friends and family,” Vermes said. “I just saw the ball in the back of the net, and what’s the best time to get a goal? I’m sure it was electric back in Kansas City.” With Paulo Nagamura sidelined, Roger Espinoza and Julio Cesar filled the deep-lying central midfield axis. Bobby Convey was given the start as expected in midfield. “I don’t think there’s a guy I could speak poorly about. I think all the guys were very good in their roles and responsibilities within the game plan,” Vermes said. “Roger [Espinoza] was a monster for sure. His recovery to win the ball back, his anticipation, all that stuff was very good.” On Tuesday, Sporting defeated nearby Rockhurst College 2-0 in a friendly played at Livestrong Sporting Park. Rookie Dom Dwyer and Luke Sassano scored for SKC. Here’s the Sporting side: Jon Kempin; Korede Aiyegbusi (Kevin Ellis 69), Lawrence Olum, Cyprian Hedrick, Michael Harrington; Konrad Warzycha, Luke Sassano, Soony Saad; Jacob Peterson (Kyle Miller 62), C.J. Sapong (Michael Thomas 36), Dom Dwyer

NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION The New England Revolution again opened the season with a California trip, falling 1-0 to the San Jose Earthquakes at Buck Shaw Stadium in the MLS coaching debut of Jay Heaps. LAST MATCH  The game's lone goal came after 15 minutes. San Jose winger Shea Salinas scooped up possession from an errant pass and quickly slipped a through ball to Chris Wondolowski. The U.S. international took one touch and fired from just outside the penalty area past New England goalkeeper Matt Reis.  Heaps ran out an all-new strike pair in Fernando Cardenas and Blake Brettschneider, while rookie Kelyn Rowe started on the right midfield.  NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION (4-4-2): Matt Reis - Kevin Alston, Stephen McCarthy, John Lozano, A.J. Soares (Tyler Polak 60) - Kelyn Rowe, Clyde Simms (Ryan Guy 79), Shalrie Joseph, Benny Feilhaber Fernando Cardenas (Lee Nguyen 69), Blake Brettschneider. TEAM NEWS  The Revolution have now won just one of their last 15 MLS matches, dropping Jay Heaps’ debut as a head coach in the league.  “When we drew it up, we didn't want it to be direct tonight,” Heaps said. “That was their game plan, to come out and play [it directly]. When we went long – which is fine, I don't mind when we go long so long as we get the second ball and the third ball – we couldn't find the ball. After the ball went long, we couldn't settle in and find our midfield.”  With Darrius Barnes sidelined after suffering a calf injury in training the day before the season opener, Stephen McCarthy was deputized into a central defense role alongside John Lozano.  “I'm learning,” McCarthy said. “I think I've started to pick it up pretty quickly. I'm figuring it out. I'm definitely getting help from A.J., and John too, but it's hard with the language [barrier]. They're both helping me a lot. It's been good.”  McCarthy shook off illness to slot into the first team – and his time in the back four might not yet be over. A.J. Soares limped off in the second half in San Jose with a right knee sprain, and Lozano is doubtful with a right hip flexor strain.  The Revs fielded a completely new strike pair in Fernando Cardenas and Blake Brettschneider, while rookie Kelyn Rowe made his professional debut on the right side of midfield.  “We were a tad off with our passing and that kind of ruined things for us,” Revolution goalkeeper Matt Reis said. “The times when they were dangerous, we gave away the ball. We just have to be a little bit better with the ball.”  The Revolution signed midfielder Jeremiah White – eight years after the club selected him out of Wake Forest in the third round of the 2004 SuperDraft. White has played with Poland’s GKS Belchatow, and alongside Benny Feilhaber with Denmark’s AGF Aarhus; the eight years between draft-day selection and signing with the club who took him is believed to be a record.

MLS GAME INFORMATION

  

Shalrie Joseph became the Revs’ all-time career appearances leader with 244 during his 10-year MLS career; he entered the game tied with current head coach and former teammate Jay Heaps. The Revs saw their winless streak in games played in Mountain or Pacific time zones extended to 17 games (0-12-5), dating back to August 2009 – a 1-0 win at Seattle. The loss also extended the team’s winless run in West Coast games to 11 games (0-9-2). “I think the second half was a little bit better than the first,” Revolution midfielder Benny Feilhaber said. “We created a couple more chances and maybe tried to play a little bit more. That tends to happen when you're down. I don't know how much you can take that into account, but, at the same time, it's not going to change overnight. There are things we need to work on and there are still bits we're learning to improve upon from last year. I think we'll do better next game. That's where we're at right now.”

When last they met... Sporting Kansas City and the New England Revolution played to a 1-1 draw to preserve an unbeaten streak that later reached 14 games, the longest in club history. The game on July 30, 2011 marked their first contest at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park and ended in dramatic fashion with a late goal from Teal Bunbury. New England’s goal came first in the 38th minute when goalkeeper Matt Reis hit a long clearance after a back pass from one of his teammates. The clearance made its way over the Sporting Kansas City back line and to the feet of Rajko Lekic, who calmly placed the ball into the back of the net. Bunbury’s equalizer came off a deflected pass from Omar Bravo just seven minutes after A.J. Soares was shown a straight red card for denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity while taking down C.J. Sapong just outside the area.
