Sporting KC Game Notes | March 30, 2019 vs. Montreal Impact | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #SKCvMTL: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#SKCvMTL: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City returns to action this weekend when the side plays host to the Montreal Impact at Children’s Mercy Park on Saturday afternoon. Sporting KC went 2-11 against Canadian teams in 2018, defeating the Vancouver Whitecaps home and away, while falling to defeat in Montreal and playing to a draw at home against Toronto FC. Sporting KC has traditionally been dominant against the three sides from Canada, going 28-11-13 in the 52 games against Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. The series has evened out over the last two seasons, with Sporting going 2-3-3 against the trio of Canadian teams.

Sporting faced Montreal once in the 2018 regular season, falling to a 2-0 defeat at Stade Saputo on June 30. After a scoreless first half, Montreal took the lead through Ignacio Piatti’s powerful strike. Later in the second half, Alejandro Silva converted a penalty to seal the points for the hosts.

The last time Sporting hosted the Impact at Children’s Mercy Park, the home side settled for a frustrating 1-1 draw at Children’s Mercy Park on June 10, 2017. Leading goalscorer that season Gerso Fernandes gave Sporting KC a first-half lead when he fired home from Ilie’s pass over the top, only for Matteo Mancosu to pounce on a weak back-pass late in the second half to salvage a point for the visitors.

Sporting KC is 6-4-3 all-time against the Impact, including a 3-2-1 record in Kansas City since the Impact joined MLS as an expansion side in 2012.

Sporting KC Game Notes | March 30, 2019 vs. Montreal Impact | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes BALANCING MLS & CCL

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

THERE’S ONLY ONE JOHNNY RUSSELL

Heading back to MLS regular-season play following the FIFA international break, Sporting Kansas City is still balancing their MLS and Champions League commitments heading into April. Sporting KC has opened the MLS season 1-1-1 in MLS play while advancing through two rounds of CCL action and will take on the Montreal Impact at Children’s Mercy Park Park this Saturday afternoon.

Sporting Kansas City winger Johnny Russell produced a stunning cameo to help his side snatch a point in their last MLS outing against the Colorado Rapids at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on March 17.

Sporting KC opened the season with a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat to Los Angeles FC at Banc of California Stadium on March 3 after Adama Diomande’s 94th-minute winner, but responded with a comfortable 2-0 victory at Children’s Mercy Park over the Philadelphia Union on March 10 and a 1-1 draw on the road against the Colorado Rapids on March 17 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.

With Sporting trailing 1-0 heading into the final embers of the match, Russell, who had come off the bench in the 61st minute, stood over a free kick from 20 yards out and curled a stunner over the wall and into the top corner, well out of the reach of Rapids goalkeeper Tim Howard to salvage a point for Sporting KC. The goal was Russell’s first of the season having notched 12 in all competitions in 2018, and it was the first free kick a Sporting KC player has scored since 2015 when Benny Feilhaber netted against FC Dallas.

Peter Vermes’ side finished the 2018 season atop the Western Conference to clinch the number one seed in their conference for the first time since 2012 when the side was playing in the East. Following Saturday’s game against the Imapct, Sporting KC will be back in the thick of a congested schedule, starting with the Concacaf Champions League Semifinal First Leg against Monterrey, scheduled for April 4.

Russell then took his exploits overseas, earning his 10th and 11th caps for Scotland in European Championship Qualifiers against Kazakhstan and San Marino over the past week. The 28-year-old also scored his first international goal in the 2-0 victory over San Marino, netting the second goal to calm nerves late in the game and give Scotland their first points of their Euro 2020 Qualifying campaign.

In all, Sporting KC will play five games in the next 16 days - three in MLS regular-season play (March 30 vs. Montreal, April 7 at FC Cincinnati and April 14 vs. New York Red Bulls) and two in the Champions League against CF Monterrey on April 4 in Mexico and April 11 at Children’s Mercy Park. This fixture congestion comes on the back of a much needed bye week during the FIFA international break, having already played seven games in 24 days to kick off the 2018 season.

FRONTLINE TAKES INJURY HIT

Sporting Kansas City attacking trio Gerso Fernandes (questionable), Erik Hurtado (out) and Daniel Salloi (out) all appear on the club’s injury report this week after suffering short and long-term injuries in recent weeks.

Fernandes is nursing a calf injury and is questionable for Saturday’s match against the Montreal Impact at Children’s Mercy Park. Gerso has two goals and two assists in four Champions League matches so far this season and 18 goals and 11 assists across all competitions for Sporting KC since joining the club ahead of the 2017 campaign from Belenenses in Portugal.

MAKING AN IMPACT

Sporting Kansas City returns home this weekend to take on the Montreal Impact at Children’s Mercy Park on Saturday afternoon. It’s the first and only matchup between the two sides in 2019, and the first time Sporting KC has hosted the Impact since June 10, 2017.

Hurtado is out for the foreseeable future after the club announced that the striker underwent successful arthroscopic surgery on his right knee on March 20. That leaves Salloi, who limped off early in the 3-0 win over CA Independiente in the Champions League Quarterfinals Second Leg on March 14 having suffered an ankle injury that will keep him out for several weeks.

In the most recent bout at Children’s Mercy Park, Sporting KC took a first-half lead when Ilie Sanchez sprung Gerso Fernandes over the top, and the pacy winger dribbled away from his marker before lashing home a low finish into the corner with his weaker right foot. Sporting seemed to be heading toward all three points only for Matteo Mancosu to latch onto a poor back pass and finish late on to make the final score 1-1.

SPORTING CONTINGENT SHINES WITH RANGERS

While Sporting Kansas City did not have a match in Week 4 of the MLS season, seven players shone while on loan in the USL Championship with the Swope Park Rangers last Saturday as the side played to a 2-2 draw with the Pittsburgh Riverhounds at Children’s Mercy Park.

The two sides met again for their most recent matchup just over a year later, on June 30, 2018, at Stade Saputo in Montreal. A tense and scoreless first half was followed by a dominant second half for the hosts, as the Impact took the lead through Ignacio Piatti’s thunderous strike from the edge of the area, before Alejandro Silva’s penalty made the final score 2-0 to Montreal.

Goalkeeper Adrian Zendejas, defenders Graham Smith and Rodney Wallace and midfielders Gianluca Busio, Gedion Zelalem, Kelyn Rowe and Wan Kuzain Wan Kamal all earned valuable minutes for the Rangers in the draw. For Zelalem, it was his Kansas City debut, having not yet played a minute for Sporting since signing from Arsenal in mid-March.

Sporting KC leads the all-time series between the two clubs in regular-season matches with a 6-4-3 record against the Impact, including a 3-2-1 record at Children’s Mercy Park. Sporting KC last beat Montreal with a 2-1 home win on July 18, 2015, with Benny Feilhaber and Dom Dwyer on the scoresheet.

A pair of loanees were also the players that got on the scoresheet, as Rodney Wallace thundered home a low shot to equalize before Kelyn Rowe struck late on to give the Rangers a 2-1 lead with just minutes remaining, only for the Riverhounds to earn a penalty in stoppage time and snatch a point.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL RETURNS

Sporting Kansas City’s five-man international contingent returned home this week after representing their countries in various tournaments and friendlies during the FIFA international window. Defenders Botond Barath (Hungary), Jaylin Lindsey (U.S. U-20s) and Abdul Rwatubyaye (Rwanda) and forwards Krisztian Nemeth (Hungary) and Johnny Russell (Scotland) all returned to KC heading into Saturday’s match against the Montreal Impact at Children’s Mercy Park.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SEMIFINAL AWAITS

Sporting Kansas City produced a rousing comeback in the Concacaf Champions League Quarterfinals Second Leg on Thursday, March 14 to erase a 2-1 deficit from the First Leg against Panamanian side Independiente to win 3-0 at Children’s Mercy Park and advance to the Semifinals 4-2 on aggregate. Sporting KC will travel to Monterrey on April 4 before hosting the return leg on April 11.

Barath and Nemeth both jetted out to Europe for a pair of 2020 European Championship Qualifiers against Slovakia and Croatia. Neither player featured in the 2-0 away loss to Slovakia on March 21, but Barath went the full 90 minutes in his fourth cap and Nemeth was an unused substitute as the Magyars produced a rousing comeback to defeat World Cup runners-up Croatia 2-1 at home on March 24.

After a frustrating opening 75 minutes, which saw Independiente goalkeeper Jose Guerra produce a string of stunning saves, Sporting finally found the breakthrough when Krisztian Nemeth volleyed home. Further goals were piled on by Roger Espinoza and a clinical second from Nemeth as the home side cruised to victory on the night and booked a date with Mexican powerhouse Monterrey in the Semifinals.

Russell also took part in European Championship Qualifying for Scotland, coming off the bench for the final stages of a shock 3-0 road defeat to Kazakhstan on March 21 before playing from the start and netting his first international goal during his 11th cap in a 2-0 win on the road against San Marino on March 24.

It’s the first time in club history that the side has reached the Semifinals of the current Concacaf Champions League format, though the side did advance to the Semifinals of the tournament’s precursor - the Concacaf Champions Cup. Sporting KC advanced to the Semifinals of the Champions Cup in 2002 only to be defeated by Mexican side Monarcas Morelia 7-2 on aggregate.

Lindsey headed off to Spain for a training camp with the U.S. Under-20 National Team, appearing as a second-half substitute in the U.S.’s 2-2 comeback draw against France on March 22 before starting in a 2-1 victory over Japan on March 25. The U.S. is in their final preparations ahead of the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup, set to take place from May to June in Poland.

Monterrey are currently third in the Liga MX standings in the 2019 Clausura and advanced to the Semifinals of the Champions League by defeating Salvadorian side Alianza in the Round of 16 before dispatching reigning MLS Cup Champions Atlanta United FC in the Quarterfinals.

Rwatubyaye earned his 23rd cap for the Rwanda National Team when he played the full 90 minutes in a 3-0 loss away from home at the Ivory Coast.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

2026 WORLD CUP HEADING TO NORTH AMERICA

Sporting Kansas City has also been racking up the miles on the legs of its squad in the early part of the 2019 season. Starting with the Feb. 21 match against Toluca in the Concacaf Champions League Round of 16, the side has already played a seven-game stretch in the space of 24 days, and is about to embark on a five-game stretch in the space of 16 days.

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.

Sporting KC will take on the Montreal Impact this Saturday at Children’s Mercy Park off the back of the international break, and will then travel to Mexico to take on CF Monterrey in the Concacaf Champions League Semifinal First Leg on April 4, before traveling to take on FC Cincinnati on April 7, return home to play the Second Leg against Monterrey on April 11, and remain at Children’s Mercy Park for a home MLS match against the New York Red Bulls on April 14.

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.

When Sporting KC faced Toluca, Los Angeles FC and Independiente all on the road in the space of a week in late February/early March, it marked the third time in club history that the side has played three road games in the space of a week, and first time ever with three road games in a week with at least one outside of the country.

In the previous seven-game stretch, Sporting KC will have played in all four continental U.S. time zones: Central Time: Feb. 21 vs. Toluca, Feb. 28 at Toluca, March 10 vs.

Philadelphia, March 14 vs. Independiente. Pacific Time: March 3 at LAFC. Eastern Time: March 6 at Independiente. Mountain Time: March 17 at Colorado Rapids.

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

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).

LONGEST MLS PLAYOFF STREAKS Club Seasons LA Galaxy 10 (1996-2005) Seattle Sounders FC 10 (2009-2018) *active New York Red Bulls 9 (2010-2018) *active Sporting KC 8 (2011-2018) *active LA Galaxy 8 (2009-2016) NE Revolution 8 (2002-2009) Real Salt Lake 7 (2008-2014)

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.

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 VERBATIM

See below for comments from Sporting KC Manager and Sporting Director Peter Vermes following the 1-1 draw with the Colorado Rapids at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on March 17, 2019.

VERMES ENTERS 11th SEASON

Entering his 11th season at the helm of Sporting KC, manager Peter Vermes looks to win 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 began in March while U.S. Open Cup action starts later in the year.

On Sunday’s match overall: “I thought for us to come here, move the ball the way that we did and possess the ball well, I thought we had a lot of the game in their half, especially in the first half. Thought second half it became a little more end-to-end, especially after they scored. I thought we were deserving of the point here tonight. I thought that we did a good job coming off of our game on Thursday night. It was emotional and also a little physically taxing, but at the end I think we had enough energy to come play here tonight, and I thought they did a good job to stay in the game and find a way back in.”

Vermes is the longest tenured coach that is currently in charge of a team in Major League Soccer, having led 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 U.S. National Team job in late 2016.

On balancing MLS and Champions League: “Anytime you can go on the road, whether in CCL or not, you know to go in and get a point on the road is an important aspect. To get three is great. Tonight, doing that in lieu of what happened Thursday night is even more important. It’s keeping us at least within the group of the league and keeping us competitive.”

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 the impact his substitutes had tonight: “I always think it’s important that the guys you bring into the game, subs, have an impact.

I thought that Kelyn Rowe played well in the game, too, and Johnny [Russell] came in and got us the goal that we needed at the time and was important, so it’s important that there is an impact from substitutions.”

Vermes has compiled a 169-118-95 record in all competitions with Sporting KC, including a remarkable 20-6-3 mark in U.S. Open Cup contests. Vermes’ 134 wins in MLS regular-season action ranks fifth all-time and second among active coaches in MLS, trailing Los Angeles FC’s Bob Bradley.

Sporting KC Game Notes | March 30, 2019 vs. Montreal Impact | 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 169 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 134 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 382 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 Championship) 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.

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 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 Figueras of the Spanish Second Division.

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 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.

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

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.
