Sporting KC Game Notes | April 9, 2017 vs. Colorado Rapids | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #SKCvCOL: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#SKCvCOL: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City prepares to take on the Colorado Rapids having struggled for form against their Western Conference foe in recent history. While Sporting KC still holds a slender 23-22-13 lead in the all-time regular-season series, Colorado has won each of the last five meetings between the two sides dating back to August 2015, including two wins at Children’s Mercy Park. Sporting KC faced Colorado three times in 2016, suffering defeat on each occasion. On April 13 at Children’s Mercy Park, Luis Solignac gave the Rapids the lead before Dom Dwyer equalized midway through the second half, only for Shkelzen Gashi to find the winner moments later. A month later on May 11, Dillon Serna came off the bench to score a 78th-minute winner at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. The Rapids claimed the final meeting of the season on July 16, with yet another 78th-minute strike, this time from Marlon Hairston.

Sporting KC Game Notes | April 9, 2017 vs. Colorado Rapids | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes UNBEATEN START CONTINUES

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES Since a 3-1 defeat to New England on Oct. 1, 2016, Sporting KC has posted five shutouts in the six games that followed, while no other team in the league has recorded more than three. Melia has made 21 saves in those six games, including a remarkable doublestop to deny D.C. United’s Marcelo Sarvas’ penalty and Patrick Mullins’ follow-up in the season opener at RFK Stadium on March 4. Melia’s 21 saves are also tied for the third most in the league in that time period.

Following last Friday’s 0-0 draw with Toronto FC at BMO Field, Sporting Kansas City remains one of three unbeaten teams left in MLS this season. Sporting KC has gone 1-0-3 across their opening four games of the 2017 campaign and are joined in the list of unbeaten teams by FC Dallas (2-0-1, 7 pts.) and Toronto FC (1-0-3, 6 pts.) - both of whom Sporting KC has played to 0-0 draws with to open the season.

OPARA SHOWS AERIAL PROWESS

Sporting KC’s regular-season unbeaten streak now stands at six games, stretching back to last season, while the side has lost just one of its last eight 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.

Sporting Kansas City defender Ike Opara has been an integral part of the side’s defense through the opening four games of the 2017 MLS season, playing every minute to date and leading all defenders in the league with 24 aerial duels attempted. The 28-year-old has won 11 of them, good for eighth among MLS defenders as his presence has been key to Sporting KC’s strong defensive opening to the season that has seen the side post three shutouts in their opening four games.

The six-game undefeated streak - which dates back to a 0-0 draw at Real Salt Lake on Oct. 16, 2016 - is tied for the second longest active run in MLS, joined by Toronto FC whose streak also dates back to Oct. 16, and trailing FC Dallas who have gone eight games unbeaten since Sept. 17, 2016.

In addition, Opara is tied for sixth among MLS defenders with 44 ground duels attempted, winning 27 of them. His Sporting KC teammate Graham Zusi one ahead of him in fifth in the same category, going in to 45 duels since shifting to right back at the start of the 2017 season.

Sporting KC has gone unbeaten for more than six games on 11 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 Columbus Crew SC (July 3, 2004 - April 2, 2005) and FC Dallas (May 27 - Oct. 9, 2010).

GLIDING GERSO DIFFICULT TO TRACK

Offseason acquisition Gerso Fernandes continues to threaten opposition defenses with his dribbling ability game-after-game. Gerso is tied for second in MLS with 22 dribbles attempted across the opening four games of the season, while his 10 completed dribbles ranks tied for fourth in MLS.

LOOKING TO MAKE CMP HISTORY

Sporting Kansas City enters Sunday’s showdown with the Colorado Rapids knowing that avoiding defeat will see the side equal the longest home unbeaten streak in club history. Sporting KC is currently riding an 11-game undefeated streak at Children’s Mercy Park - one game shy of matching the 12 games that the side went unbeaten at home from March 8 through Aug. 15, 2015 in the regular season.

Sporting KC has attempted the third most dribbles in the league so far in 2017, recording 86 attempts, while their 10 successful dribbles per game ranks fourth in MLS. Columbus Crew SC leads the league in dribbles attempted with 99 and are in a tie with San Jose for first in successful dribbles with 45, though the Earthquakes lead the league in successful dribbles per game with 11.25.

The streak - which began with a 2-0 victory over FC Dallas on June 19, 2016 - is tied for the third longest active home undefeated streak in MLS, matched by New York City FC who are unbeaten at Yankee Stadium since June 18, 2016. Sunday’s opponents the Colorado Rapids lead the way in that category, having gone 19 home games unbeaten since their opening home game of the 2016 season, while the New York Red Bulls are unbeaten in 16 games at Red Bull Arena since falling 2-0 to Sporting KC on April 9, 2016.

The Colorado Rapids have attempted the fewest dribbles in all of MLS (31) and are the only side with dribbles completed still in single digits (9). They are also second to last in dribbles attempted per game and last in dribbles completed per game. The Rapids are led by midfielder Marlon Hairston with eight dribbles attempted while recently traded defender Marc Burch leads the side with three dribbles completed.

RAPIDS RIVALRY

MAINTAIN POSSESSION, LIMIT CHANCES

Sporting Kansas City has not enjoyed facing the Colorado Rapids in recent history, falling to five consecutive defeats. The five straight defeats represents Sporting KC’s longest active losing streak against any club in MLS, and tied for the second longest losing streak against any one team in club history.

Through the first four games of the season, Sporting Kansas City has attempted the fifth most passes per game in 2017 with 481.5 - with Atlanta United FC leading the way with 557.5 passes per game. Additionally, Sporting KC ranks in the top 10 in the league in possession percentage, keeping the ball for 54.26 percent of their games to date.

Sporting KC suffered a seven-game losing streak to the Chicago Fire from 1998-1999, and have previously fallen to five straight defeats against D.C. United (1997-1999), the LA Galaxy (1997-1998), Seattle Sounders FC (2009-2011) and the now defunct Tampa Bay Mutiny (1996-1997).

Without the ball, Sporting KC has faced the fewest shots per game in the league with 8.25. The Montreal Imapct have allowed the most shots per game in 2017 with 15.75, while Sunday’s opponents Colorado have allowed 10 shots per game - fourth fewest in the league.

Immediately prior to their current five-game losing streak to Colorado, Sporting KC went nine games unbeaten against the Rapids, going 4-0-5 from 2009 through 2015. All-time, Sporting KC still holds a narrow lead in the series between the two teams, going 23-2213 - though each side is dominant at home. Sporting KC has posted a 18-5-5 record in Kansas City against the Rapids, while Colorado are 17-5-8 in their home matchups.

Of the 11 teams with an average possession percentage below 50, nine 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 (8.25), but has also conceded the fewest goals (1).

STINGY SPORTING

BESLER AND SINOVIC RENEW PARTNERSHIP

Prior to the concession of that goal, 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.

Since Sinovic made his first appearance for the team on May 28, 2011 after joining the club via a trade with New England, Sporting KC leads all of MLS with 71 shutouts - 11 more than the LA Galaxy in second. Besler and Sinovic have started 109 of the 200 games since the trade, posting 41 of the club’s 71 shutouts alongside one another. Individually, Besler leads the league in shutouts since the trade with 57, while Sinovic is tied for fourth with 50. Besler and Sinovic have started and played the full 90 minutes in each of Sporting KC’s last six regular-season games, conceding just one goal.

After recording three shutouts in the opening four 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 41 total shutouts in just 109 games where both have started in the regular season.

Sporting Kansas City’s backline boasts the most impressive numbers in MLS this season, with the side conceding just one goal through four games in 2017 when Florian Jungwirth tucked home a consolation goal in stoppage time for Sporting KC’s 2-1 win over the San Jose Earthquakes on March 18.

Sporting KC’s one goal against in 2017 is the fewest allowed in MLS, with Toronto FC and FC Dallas next in line having conceded twice - though the latter has played one fewer game. Sporting KC has made no changes to the side’s backline through the opening four games of the season, with Melia behind a defense of Graham Zusi, Ike Opara, Matt Besler and Seth Sinovic.

QUARTET EARN MINUTES IN THE USL

PLAYOFF STREAK

Last Wednesday, Sporting KC loaned goalkeeper Adrian Zendejas and defenders Erik Palmer-Brown, Tyler Pasher and Colton Storm to the side’s USL affiliate, the Swope Park Rangers, ahead of a showdown with Portland Timbers 2 at Swope Soccer Village.

Sporting KC enters the 2017 season looking to become the sixth club in MLS history to make at least seven straight trips to the postseason. In addition, Manager Peter Vermes would be just the fourth coach to lead the same team to seven straight playoff appearances.

All four players started the game, with Zendejas and Storm playing the full 90 minutes, while Palmer-Brown and Pasher went 45 and 65 minutes, respectively. All four players contributed to the Rangers’ first shutout of the 2017 USL season as SPR ran out 1-0 winners over Timbers 2 behind Kharlton Belmar’s early goal that pushed the side’s earlyseason record to 2-0-0.

Zendejas made three saves before jetting out to join Sporting KC in Toronto, while Palmer-Brown made four interceptions and one tackle before being subbed off at halftime. Pasher made three interceptions while completing 88.9 percent of his passes and Storm made two tackles, two clearances and two interceptions from right back.

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. Dwyer’s 16 goals in the 2016 regular season brought his total to 52, and 61 in all competitions. Dwyer sits just 19 MLS goals and 20 strikes in all competitions shy of Preki’s all-time records of 71 and 81, respectively.

SPORTING KC DROPS CONCESSION PRICES

The 26-year-old has amassed 50 goals in his last three seasons, a rate of just under 17 goals per season. Only Bradley Wright-Phillips has scored more MLS goals in that time period than Dwyer, who took home the MLS Golden Boot titles in 2014 and 2016.

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.

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

Goals (MLS) 71 52 43 43 39

VERMES VERBATIM

Goals (All Competitions) 81 61 52 46 43

On his side’s performance against Toronto FC… “They had a few good chances, we had a few good chances. I thought we started the first 30-35 minutes – we were actually really good – we had the ball and they were a little bit concerned about how we were going to come after them. I thought we moved the ball really well, we were maybe just off the final pass because we missed some opportunities – not opportunities that were on goal, but missed some situations where they were spread out and we could’ve went right through them. The last 10 minutes of the half, they started getting a little bit of the play, they changed some things up, we didn’t adjust as well as we could’ve, because we gave away two good chances before the end of the half. I thought the adjustments we made at halftime really put them under pressure as well. There’s no doubt that when you’re playing at somebody else’s place, especially late in the game when it’s 0-0, they’re going to start throwing numbers forward like they did, but we almost had the one where Dom (Dwyer) was through on the ‘keeper and then Gerso hit the other one that ricochets over and the other one where he hit it and the goalkeeper made a save. There was just some good action that I thought we created and all in all this was not an easy night to play, the conditions were really, really tough with the wind. Not so much the rain, but just the wind was ridiculous, but the players did well and I thought we kept the ball and we gained a point.”

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. 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 the first month of the season... “I think the fact that we can continue on in this place of being able to keep goals out of the back of the net, it’s a very important thing as we try and accumulate points over the course of the season, so I’m very pleased with that aspect. We created some good chances, especially on the road; I’m feeling very good about the progress that we’ve made. Obviously we’ve got a lot of games ahead of us and we’re racking up points which is important for us.”

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. 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.
