Sporting KC Game Notes | April 2, 2022 at Vancouver Whitecaps FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #VANvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS

#VANvSKC: HEAD-TO-HEAD Sporting Kansas City (2-3-0, 6 pts.) is back on the road this weekend when the team heads north of the border to take on Vancouver Whitecaps FC at BC Place on Saturday night. Sporting rebounded from a pair of road losses at Colorado and Chicago to defeat top-of-the-table Real Salt Lake at Children’s Mercy Park last Saturday, while Vancouver (0-3-1, 1 pt.) has not played since a 3-1 loss at LAFC on March 20 prior to the current FIFA international break. Sporting split the regular-season series with Vancouver 1-1-0 in 2021. In the first meeting at Children’s Mercy Park on May 16, 2021, Sporting cruised to a 3-0 victory. Daniel Salloi gave the hosts the lead in the first half before a pair of goals either side of halftime from Alan Pulido made the points safe. The return fixture saw the Whitecaps edge Sporting by a 2-1 scoreline at BC Place on October 17, 2021. Ryan Gauld and Russell Teibert gave the hosts a 2-0 lead before Johnny Russell pulled a goal back just before halftime but it wasn’t enough to spark a comeback. The most consequential match of the season took place in the MLS Cup Playoffs, where Sporting and Vancouver squared off in Round One of the Western Conference Playoffs. Buoyed by some over-confident remarks from Vancouver head coach Vanni Sartini, Sporting came out flying and dominated Vancouver from start to finish, advancing with a 3-1 victory following goals from Khiry Shelton, Nicolas Isimat-Mirin and Graham Zusi. Sporting KC has a commanding 11-4-4 lead in the all-time regular-season series against Vancouver since the Whitecaps joined MLS in 2011, while Peter Vermes’ side has gone 5-1-1 in the last six regular season meetings against Vancouver, scoring 21 goals and conceding just five.

Sporting KC Game Notes | April 2, 2022 at Vancouver Whitecaps FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

BACK IN WIN COLUMN

NDENBE & TZIONIS REPRESENT NATIONAL TEAMS

Sporting Kansas City earned a much-needed victory this past Saturday when Peter Vermes’ side defeated rivals Real Salt Lake 1-0 at Children’s Mercy Park, taking Sporting’s 2022 record to 2-3-0, having won both home matches and lost all three road games.

Sporting Kansas City duo Logan Ndenbe and Marinos Tzionis each missed Sporting’s 1-0 victory over Real Salt Lake at Children’s Mercy Park last Saturday while on international duty with their respective national teams. Ndenbe was called in to the Belgium U-21 squad, while Tzionis linked up with the senior Cyprus squad.

The victory against Salt Lake added to an extremely impressive home record during the month of March under Vermes, with the team going 17-1-5 in home matches during his tenure - with the sole loss coming in the club’s 2018 home opener against NYCFC - including eight straight wins dating back to March 17, 2018. Saturday’s result also marked just the fifth time in club history that the team has recorded back-to-back 1-0 wins at home, with that feat last being accomplished in August 2019.

Ndenbe and Belgium’s U-21s had one game during the most recent FIFA international window, facing Denmark in the final match of UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifying on Tuesday, March 29. Ndenbe started the match and wenty 45 minutes for Belgium as the side battled to a 1-1 draw to clinch qualification for the 2023 U-21 Euros. Tzionis and Cyprus had a two-legged UEFA Nations League play-out series on the schedule against Estonia over the past week. Tzionis was an unused substitute as Cyprus drew the first leg 0-0 in Estonia on March 24 before starting the second leg in Cyprus on March 29.

Sporting continues to be led by influential French midfielder Remi Walter, who has played every minute of the 2022 campaign to date - one of only three players to do so alongside fellow Frenchman Nicolas Isimat-Mirin and Graham Zusi. Walter leads MLS in distance covered in 2022 with 35.7 miles logged to date.

Tzionis scored the game-winner in the 19th minute of the match, firing home a stunning strike from the edge of the area for his first international goal, while he also completed 80 percent of his passes, won seven of his nine duels and suffered five fouls before being replaced in the 80th minute of an eventual 2-0 win - keeping Cyprus in UEFA Nations League C while Estonia were relegated to League D.

Sporting has a commanding 11-4-4 lead in the all-time regular-season series against Vancouver, including a 5-3-2 mark on the road.

BORDER-CROSSING

Sporting Kansas City is set to head north of the border this weekend when the team travles to Vancouver, Canada to take on the Whitecaps at BC Place on Saturday night. Sporting is 2-3-0 on the nascent MLS season, winning both home games against Houston and Salt Lake and losing all three on the road at Atlanta, Colorado and Chicago.

MILESTONES GALORE vs. RSL

Sporting Kansas City saw multiple players as well as the club itself reach major milestones during Saturday night’s 1-0 victory over Real Salt Lake at Children’s Mercy Park. Club icons Roger Espinoza, Tim Melia and Graham Zusi all reached personal milestones, while Johnny Russell etched his name into club folklore as well.

Sporting and Vancouver split the regular-season series in 2021, with both teams winning on home soil. Sporting cruised to a 3-0 victory at Children’s Mercy Park on May 16, 2021, with Daniel Salloi opening the scoring before Alan Pulido tallied either side of halftime to clinch a comfortable three points.

Roger Espinoza reaches 300 starts in all competitions Former Honduras international Espinoza made his 300th start for Sporting KC in all competitions on Saturday, becoming just the third player to do so behind Matt Besler and Graham Zusi.

Vancouver rebounded under then-interim head coach Vanni Sartini on Oct. 17, 2021, battling to a 2-1 victory over Sporting at BC Place. Ryan Gauld and Russell Teibert gave the Whitecaps a two-goal lead before Johnny Russell pulled one back for Sporting before the break, but Vancouver held on for the remainder of the match.

Tim Melia reaches 200 MLS regular-season starts & appearances Veteran goalkeeper Melia made his 200th start and appearance for Sporting KC in the regular season - extending his club record - on Saturday, having already become the club’s leader in shutouts (61), saves (588) and wins (89).

With Vancouver mounting a furious late-season push to the postseason, the two teams met in Round One of the Western Conference Playoffs at Children’s Mercy Park on Nov. 20, 2021. Despite Sartini guaranteeing victory during a pregame media availability, it was Sporting that took complete control on the night and secured a 3-1 victory to advance to the Western Conference Semifinals. Khiry Shelton gave Sporting the lead before Cristian Dajome equalized from the penalty spot. Nicolas Isimat-Mirin bundled home at the end of the first half as Sporting re-took the lead, before Graham Zusi crashed home a stunning third early in the second half to seal the victory.

Graham Zusi becomes club’s all-time minutes leader in all competitions In the 57th minute of Saturday’s match, 2009 MLS SuperDraft selection Zusi overtook longtime teammate and friend Matt Besler as the club’s all-time minutes leader in all competitions, now standing at 30,430. Johnny Russell scores club’s 400th goal at Children’s Mercy Park Lethal Russell bagged the only goal of the game with an expertly taken finish in the 81st minute of Saturday’s game. In addition to sealing three points, the goal was also the 400th Sporting goal scored at Children’s Mercy Park since the venue opened in 2011.

Vancouver is one of four winless teams in MLS this season with a 0-3-1 record, alongside the San Jose Earthquakes, CF Montreal and Inter Miami CF. However, the Whitecaps did pick up their lone point during their only home game against NYCFC on March 5.

#SKCvRSL QUOTES

Manager & Sporting Director Peter Vermes...

RUSSELL OFF THE MARK IN 2022

Thoughts on the match: “I think the first half was kind of a stalemate. They had a good chance. We had a good chance. We probably had a little bit more of the ball. Second half, we were a little bit more direct and we picked up second balls. That’s why Johnny got a couple of chances that he actually got before he scored. I’m always interested when a team gets into a situation where we were. We had a lot of injuries and how the reaction of the guys winds up being and how some people panic and then others keep their head. Just because you’re losing doesn’t mean you’re lost. We weren’t lost at all. We were just trying to get a routine and trying to get a bunch of guys still indoctrinated that still need time. And then also, you have got to give a big credit to both Daniel (Salloi) and Johnny. Johnny for playing as long as he did. And then Daniel being able to play the full 90. And then Khiry has fought hard to try to get back. He really has. And so the fact that he’s able to give us 30 minutes at the end of the game was excellent, but all the substitutions came in and gave us an impact and that’s what you hope. That’s what you’re working towards. And some of those guys got experience while those other guys were out. Unfortunately, maybe the results weren’t what they were supposed to be, but they definitely helped in getting this result.”

With Sporting Kansas City in desperate need of a breakthrough, it was captain and talisman Johnny Russell that stepped up to score his first goal of the 2022 campaign to lead Sporting to a 1-0 victory over Real Salt Lake at Children’s Mercy Park. Russell attempted to play a ball through to Khiry Shelton but it deflected back into the Scotsman’s path off a RSL defender, allowing Russell to slot into the corner. The goal, which came in front of Russell’s parents and two brothers who are visiting Kansas City, was the 400th Sporting KC goal in Children’s Mercy Park history across all competitions since the stadium opened in 2011. Russell’s goal was his 10th game-winning goal for the club, tying him with Davy Arnaud for seventh on the club’s all-time chart in the category. Since arriving in Major League Soccer in 2018, Russell ranks third among all players in goal contributions over the past five seasons with 72 combined goals and assists.

On the play of Nicolas Isimat-Mirin: “The fact that he is capable physically to basically roll out each week and use what he has and what he has is he has an incredible athleticism that goes with very, very high quality in his skill. I didn’t see this that much last year, but for sure this year I’ve seen it from day one, he really cares about the 1v1 match up that he has with the defender he’s playing against and then also about not giving up goals. He cares about it much more than I really knew. It’s not that before he didn’t care. It’s just that I didn’t realize how much he cared. You can see it on the field when he plays.”

Sporting KC Game Notes | April 2, 2022 at Vancouver Whitecaps 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 210 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 174 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 483 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 126 leagues in the world as denoted by the CIES Football Observatory, Vermes’ tenure at Sporting KC ranks as the seventh 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
