FC Dallas Quote Sheet for match against Sporting Kansas City on Saturday, April 22 FC DALLAS HEAD COACH OSCAR PAREJA On giving up late goals… It is crucial. It has been very painful for us to first give up the goal in Mexico...and unfortunately it happened again in the last minute [in San Jose]. The game teaches you that the 1st minute and the 94th minute, and the 50th and the 30th minute ‐ all of them are the same and an important part of the game. What happened is that it hurts the most, it gives you a different feeling when you're on the other side scoring in the last minute. The concentration during the whole game needs to be what we aim for and that's the lesson that we have. Overall thoughts on the last match… Obviously frustrated at the end with a game that was controlled, with a result that was in the pocket and the last 30 seconds we gave up that silly goal. Obviously, that just gives us the impression that it's a bad result. Obviously, we wanted the three points and I thought that we deserved it, but we keep learning. The boys played well. We created a lot of chances to score. I thought in front of the goal we had our opportunities and if we were fine in that last piece of the field, I thought we could have scored more goals tonight. FC DALLAS DEFENDER WALKER ZIMMERMAN On focusing throughout the whole game… The game teaches you something every time you play. We're learning, it's early and it's something hopefully we can look back on at the end of the year where we learned a lot in these games. Learning how to close them out and learning how to stay tuned in to the final whistle and maintain that concentration for the whole game. It's something we're going to put emphasis into this one. FC DALLAS MIDFIELDER KELLYN ACOSTA On FC Dallas’ last match and how it relates to his season thus far… I was definitely excited to bag a goal and help my team. We were close to getting the result that we wanted, but a point on the road isn't as bad as it seems. It felt like a loss. But yeah, the beginning of the year has been great for me. I think I'm inching closer to getting better and better and really focusing on capitalizing on the chances I have in front of goal. I think I've been pretty clinical, but I think I can improve a lot on the field. I'm playing the central midfield role, I think I can have more touches on the ball and help my team in possession. I think that was an area we've been lacking, just keeping possession of the ball. I think we're almost too direct sometimes. I mean, we're getting results, but I think I can touch up on little things to further my growth as a player. On adapting to having two forwards in the team's formation now… The space between me and Carlos [Gruezo] and the forwards, that's the space that I can occupy. I mean, there's some times when they check in, but I think that more of that role depends on me coming in there and finding some pockets from our center backs or also from Carlos to just having that matchup in there. When we play with a number 10, he occupies that room and I'm kind of playing off of him. Now I'm playing more in between where I'm kind of just playing off of Carlos and I think that's really helped me find good spots and be closer to the goal and having some opportunities to finish them off.

#FCDvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS
Saturday’s showdown between Sporting Kansas City and FC Dallas at Toyota Stadium pits the league’s only two remaining undefeated teams against one another. Sporting KC pushed their unbeaten start to six games (3-0-3, 12 pts.) with a 1-0 win over Portland on Saturday, while FC Dallas played to a 1-1 draw with San Jose the day before to extend their unbeaten start to five games (3-0-2, 11 pts.). The two sides met in just the second game of the 2017 season at Children’s Mercy Park, culminating in Sporting KC’s second consecutive 0-0 draw to start the season. Sporting KC outshot Dallas 14-6 on that chilly night in Kansas City but were unable to find the breakthrough as referee Sorin Stoica handed out eight yellow cards in a feisty affair. Sporting KC has a losing record on the road against Dallas, going 9-13-5. Peter Vermes’ men have posted a 2-5-4 mark since FC Dallas moved to Toyota Stadium in 2005 and are winless since 2011 in the building, going 0-2-2 in their last four games in Frisco, Texas. The last Sporting KC road victory came on June 12, 2011 when two goals from Graham Zusi and strikes from Luke Sassano and Aurelien Collin earned a 4-1 victory. In 2016, the two sides split the season series 1-1-1, though Sporting KC outscored Dallas 5-4 in the three meetings. Dallas took the first matchup, coming from behind to claim a 2-1 win at Toyota Stadium on April 17, before Sporting KC exacted their revenge with a 2-0 victory at Children’s Mercy Park on June 19. In the final meeting of 2016, the two sides battled to a 2-2 draw in Dallas on Aug. 13. Sporting KC leads the all-time series between the two sides, going 23-21-12.

Sporting KC Game Notes | April 22, 2017 at FC Dallas | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes AND THEN THERE WERE TWO
SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES Prior to the concession of Florian Jungwirth’s goal against San Jose, goalkeeper Tim Melia had posted a career-high 457 minute shutout streak dating back to last season, while it was the third longest streak in Sporting KC history - trailing only Tony Meola’s league-best 681 minute shutout streak in 2000, and Jimmy Nielsen’s 546 minute streak in 2013. Melia currently has four shutouts - halfway to his total for each of the 2015 and 2016 seasons - and a league-best 0.33 goals against average.
Following the side’s impressive 1-0 road win over the Portland Timbers at Providence Park, Sporting Kansas City remains one of only two unbeaten teams left in MLS this season, with Saturday’s opponents FC Dallas the other. Sporting KC has gone 3-0-3 (12 pts.) across their opening six games of the 2017 campaign while FC Dallas has posted a 3-0-2 record through five games, claiming 11 points on the season. Toronto FC was the only other remaining unbeaten team heading into Week 7, but the Canadian side fell on the road to Columbus Crew SC.
Sporting KC’s two goals against in 2017 are the fewest in MLS, with Saturday’s opponents FC Dallas conceding the next fewest with three. Sporting KC has made minimal changes to the side’s backline through the opening six games of the season, with Melia behind a defense of Graham Zusi, Ike Opara, Matt Besler and Seth Sinovic all of whom have played the full 90 minutes of every game.
Sporting KC’s regular-season unbeaten streak now stands at eight games, stretching back to last season, while the side has lost just one of its last 10 games in all competitions - a controversial 1-0 defeat to eventual MLS Cup champions Seattle Sounders FC in the Western Conference Knockout Round on Oct. 27, 2016.
DWYER ROUNDING INTO FORM
With his game-winning header against the Portland Timbers on Saturday night, Sporting KC forward Dom Dwyer has now scored his first two goals of the 2017 MLS season in consecutive games, having also tallied against the Colorado Rapids the previous week.
The eight-game undefeated streak - which dates back to a 0-0 draw at Real Salt Lake on Oct. 16, 2016 - is the second longest active run in MLS, only trailing FC Dallas who have gone 10 games unbeaten since Sept. 17, 2016. The streak is tied for FC Dallas’ second-longest regular-season unbeaten streak in their history.
The goals come on the back of a six-game scoreless streak for the striker, dating back to last season - matching the longest scoreless streak Dwyer has had since the start of his breakout 2014 season. Prior to that scoreless streak, Dwyer had scored in four straight games from Sept. 9 through Oct. 1, 2016. He has now scored in at least two consecutive games 11 times in his MLS regular-season career.
Peter Vermes’ men currently boast the second longest road unbeaten streak in the league as the club’s four games unbeaten stretching back to last season is only bettered by FC Dallas who are unbeaten in seven on the road in the regular season. Sporting KC has gone undefeated for more than eight games on five occasions in the club’s history, with the longest such streak lasting 14 games from May 28 through Aug. 3, 2011. The longest unbeaten streak in league history stands at 19 games, a feat performed by FC Dallas (May 27 - Oct. 9, 2010) and Columbus Crew SC (July 3, 2004 - April 2, 2005).
The goal also saw Dwyer tally his 12th regular-season game-winning goal for the club, and he is now just one game-winner away from joining club legend Preki atop the team’s all-time standings in that category. Dwyer only had two game-winning goals in the 2015 and 2016 seasons after tallying six in 2014, but is now halfway to matching the total from the last two years after only six games.
HELLO, DALLAS, MY OLD FRIEND
TRIO OF THE WEEK
Sporting Kansas City will be facing one of the club’s oldest adversaries on Saturday night as the club prepares to take on FC Dallas for the 57th time in MLS regular-season play. To date, Sporting KC holds a slight advantage in the all-time series, going 23-21-12 - including a 0-0 draw at Children’s Mercy Park on March 11.
Following the impressive 1-0 victory in Portland last weekend, a trio of Sporting Kansas City players were included in the MLS Team of the Week. Goalkeeper Tim Melia, defender Ike Opara and midfielder Ilie Sanchez all claimed the honor as Sporting KC rose to second in the Western Conference. It was the first time since Week 13 of the 2015 MLS season that Sporting KC had three players on the Team of the Week, when Kevin Ellis, Graham Zusi and Krisztian Nemeth all earned the honor after a 4-0 win over FC Dallas on May 29, 2015.
While Sporting KC have enjoyed taken on Dallas at home, they have endured some struggles on the road, including their current four-game winless streak in Frisco, Texas. Sporting KC has gone 0-2-2 in their last four games at Toyota Stadium, including a 0-1-1 mark there in 2016. The last road victory recorded for either side came in 2011, with Sporting KC earning a 4-1 win in Dallas on June 12, 2011 and Dallas claiming a 3-2 victory at Children’s Mercy Park on Aug. 27, 2011. Since then, the home side has gone unbeaten in the last 10 meetings.
Melia made three saves on the day, including a stunning stop on Darlington Nagbe’s dipping volley late in the game to preserve his fourth shutout of the season, and his sixth in the last eight regular-season games dating back to last season. He also posted his fourth straight road shutout, which ties a club record. On Thursday, Melia was rewarded with his fourth MLS Save of the Week honor for his save on Nagbe’s shot.
The matchup pits the two best defenses in MLS against one another, with Sporting KC conceding just two goals in six games and FC Dallas conceding three times in five matches. Each side’s starting goalkeeper, Tim Melia for Sporting KC and Jesse Gonzalez for Dallas, have posted a league-best 0.33 goals against average, though Gonzalez has played three games less than Melia.
Also instrumental in those defensive figures was Opara, who kept the league’s highest scoring offense off the board for the first time at Providence Park in 21 games. The center back made one block, took part in a combined 11 ground and aerial duels and made a season-high eight clearances.
The game also sees the two most in-form teams in the league dating back to last season face off. Sporting KC is in the midst of an eight-game regular-season unbeaten streak, with FC Dallas the only team to better that with their 10-game undefeated run. Additionally, only Sporting KC and FC Dallas have active road unbeaten streaks, with Sporting KC going unbeaten in their last four road contests, whiel Dallas has not lost in their last seven on the road.
Ilie continued his ascension in the heart of the Sporting KC midfield with another commanding performance. He led the team with 66 attempted passes and saw 11 of them reach the final third of the field. The Spaniard also made a season-high four clearances and tied his season-high with three interceptions.
GER-SO QUICK
STINGY SPORTING
Winger Gerso Fernandes continues to show off his dribbling ability as the season progresses. Gerso is second in MLS with 30 dribbles attempted across the opening six games of the season, while his 13 completed dribbles ranks tied for sixth in MLS.
Sporting Kansas City’s backline boasts the most impressive numbers in MLS this season, with the side conceding just two goals through six games in 2017, both of which were stoppage-time consolation goals for the San Jose Earthquakes on March 11 and the Colorado Rapids on April 9.
Sporting KC leads the league in dribbles attempted per game with 21.83, while their 9.83 successful dribbles per game ranks second in MLS. The San Jose Earthquakes lead the league in dribbles attempted with 149 and dribbles completed with 75.
Sporting KC is yet to concede on the road in 2017, with both goals conceded this season coming at Children’s Mercy Park. The club is now in the midst of a four-game road shutout streak dating back to a 0-0 draw with Real Salt Lake on Oct. 16, 2016. The last goal Sporting KC conceded on the road was to Juan Agudelo in a 3-1 loss to the New England Revolution on Oct. 1, 2016, and the club’s four-game unbeaten streak on the road is tied for the most in club history, and third all-time in the league.
FC Dallas are eighth in MLS in dribbles attempted per game with 19.4, while they are 11th in dribbles completed per game with 7.6. Dallas are led by Roland Lamah who has attempted 17 dribbles this season, while Carlos Cermeno has completed a team-leading five dribbles.

Sporting KC Game Notes | April 22, 2017 at FC Dallas | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes FEILHABER’S FAVORITE FOE
SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES (CONTINUED)
RUBIO REMAINS OUT WITH ACL INJURY
Sporting KC forward Diego Rubio suffered a torn Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) in his right knee during training on Oct. 14, 2016 and remains sidelined for the foreseeable future. Rubio recorded three goals and one assist in 20 appearances across all competitions in 2016 after joining Sporting KC on loan in March. The 23-year-old Chilean completed his permanent transfer from Spanish side Real Valladolid to Sporting KC in September.
Sporting KC midfielder Benny Feilhaber enjoys facing FC Dallas. In fact, with four goals and six assists in the regular season, Feilhaber has both scored and assisted more goals against Dallas than against any other team in MLS. In all competitions, Feilhaber has four goals and seven assists in his last eight games against Dallas. In his three games against Dallas in 2016, Feilhaber posted an assist in the first matchup, a goal and an assist in the second, and added another assist in the third and final for a grand total of one goal and three assists in three games against the Texas side.
In September, Rubio became the first player in club history to score in the MLS regular season, Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and CONCACAF Champions League in the same year. He opened his 2016 scoring account in a 1-1 draw at Vancouver Whitecaps FC on April 27 and notched the game-winner in extra time of a 2-1 U.S. Open Cup victory over Minnesota United FC on June 15. Rubio then tallied his first goal at Children’s Mercy Park in a 2-1 Champions League defeat to Vancouver on Sept. 13.
On Sept. 18, 2015, Feilhaber produced his second multi-goal game in MLS regularseason play when he scored the opening two goals in a 3-1 victory over FC Dallas at Children’s Mercy Park.
MAINTAIN POSSESSION, LIMIT CHANCES
A native of Santiago, Chile, Rubio has netted 40 goals and added 16 assists since turning professional in 2011 at age 17. After rising from the youth ranks to the senior team at hometown club Colo-Colo, Rubio moved overseas to Sporting Clube de Portugal, where he scored 22 times for Sporting B from 2011-2015. The striker made 20 first-team appearances for Sporting while also going on loan to Romanian side Pandurii Targu Jiu in 2013 and Norwegian outfit Sandnes Ulf in 2014.
Through the first six games of the season, Sporting Kansas City has attempted the fifth most passes per game in 2017 with 487.33 - with New York City FC leading the way with 559 passes per game. Additionally, Sporting KC is seventh in the league in possession percentage, keeping the ball for 54.04 percent of their games to date. Without the ball, Sporting KC has faced the fewest shots (51) and shots per game (8.5). Saturday’s opponents FC Dallas have allowed the third fewest shots (58) and 10th fewest shots per game (11.6).
Rubio earned three caps for the Chile Men’s National Team in 2011 at age 18 before playing eight matches at the U-20 level from 2012-2013.
Of the 12 teams with an average possession percentage below 50, seven of them find themselves in the lower half of the league in shots faced per game, while eight are in the lower half of the league in goals conceded. Sporting KC has not only allowed the fewest shots per game (8.5), but has also conceded the fewest goals (2).
PLAYOFF STREAK
Sporting KC is looking to become the sixth club in MLS history to make at least seven straight trips to the postseason, while Manager Peter Vermes would be just the fourth coach to lead the same team to seven straight playoff appearances.

After recording four shutouts in the opening six games on the left side of the defense to open the 2017 MLS season, center back Matt Besler and left back Seth Sinovic have now posted 42 total shutouts in just 111 games where both have started in the regular season. Since Sinovic made his first appearance for the team on May 28, 2011 after being waived by the New England Revolution earlier in the year, Sporting KC leads all of MLS with 72 shutouts - 11 more than the LA Galaxy and Real Salt Lake in second. Besler and Sinovic have started 111 of the 202 games since the trade, posting 42 of the club’s 72 shutouts alongside one another.

Individually, Besler leads the league in shutouts since Sinovic joined the club with 58, while Sinovic is tied for third with 51. Besler and Sinovic have started and played the full 90 minutes in each of Sporting KC’s last eight regular-season games, conceding just two goals.
DWYER CLOSING IN ON PREKI
After yet another season of rampant goalscoring, forward Dom Dwyer is now within touching distance of Sporting KC legend Preki for the most goals in both MLS and in all competitions.
SPORTING KC DROPS CONCESSION PRICES
In March, Sporting KC announced that the club is dropping the prices of various food and beverage items at Children’s Mercy Park. Beer, soda and water all saw prices drop anywhere from $0.50 to $3.00, with most items dropping at least $1.50 at an average of 20 percent. The cost of margaritas, hotdogs, bratwursts, chips and grilled cheese sandwiches also dropped anywhere from $0.25 to $1.50 per item, with the new pricing available for the entirity of the 2017 MLS season.
Dwyer scored his first two goals of the 2017 season in his last two games to bring his regular-season total to 54, and 63 in all competitions. Dwyer sits just 17 MLS goals and 18 strikes in all competitions shy of Preki’s all-time records of 71 and 81, respectively. The 26-year-old has amassed 52 goals since the start of the 2014 season. Only Bradley Wright-Phillips has scored more MLS goals in that time period than Dwyer, and took home the MLS Golden Boot titles in 2014 and 2016.
VERMES VERBATIM
General thoughts on the match against the Portland Timbers… “I thought we played very well. I thought from the opening whistle we came to play. We worked really hard and also thought we were very intelligent in the game. We managed the moments of the game really, really well. There’s no doubt. It’s good because we play in a very similar environment in our place and it helps you understand that with the crowd, it can make the game very emotional. I thought our guys managed the game really, really well and that’s not an easy thing to do over the course of 90 minutes playing away from home. Getting a shutout was huge. Tim [Melia] made a huge save off that shot from [Darlington] Nagbe.”
Another factor that comes into play is Dwyer’s longevity. The Londoner is the only Sporting KC player to appear in at least 36 games in all competitions over the last three seasons. Player Preki Dwyer Arnaud Wolff Klein

Sporting KC Game Notes | April 22, 2017 at FC Dallas | 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 in his ninth season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2017. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 130 coaching victories in all competitions are the most club history. During his tenure, he has won three major trophies – the 2012 and 2015 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. He is the first coach in club history to lead Sporting KC to six 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 106 regular-season wins top the club’s all-time chart and rank eighth 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 has coached 300 total games during his Kansas City coaching career, most in club history.
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. 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.
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.
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.
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.
Assistant Coach | Zoran Savic
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.
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.
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.
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 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
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.
