#SKCvNY: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City returns to MLS action this weekend for a matchup against the New York Red Bulls at Children’s Mercy Park. The two sides head into the clash in a tie for the all-time series, as each tema has gone 21-21-13 since both clubs began play in the league as charter members of Major League Soccer in 1996. Sporting KC and the Red Bulls met once last year, a thrilling encounter at Red Bull Arena on July 14, 2018. Bradley Wright-Phillips gave the hosts an early lead, before Johnny Russell responded shortly after. Roger Espinoza gave Sporting the lead early in the second half only for substitute Marc Rzatkowski to strike twice in stunning fashion and claim a memorable 3-2 victory for the eventual Supporters’ Shield winners. Sporting KC last hosted the Red Bulls in the 2017 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final on Sept. 20, 2017. Sporting KC took a first-half lead through Latif Blessing’s header off Graham Zusi’s pin-point delivery, before Daniel Salloi doubled the home side’s lead in the final after prodding home Benny Feilhaber’s through ball. New York forward Bradley Wright-Phillips ensured a tense conclusion to the match as he pulled a goal back as the sides headed into second-half stoppage time, but Sporting KC held on to lift their fourth U.S. Open Cup trophy, and their third in six seasons. Including their victory in the final, Sporting KC has won three of their last four games against the Red Bulls, starting with a visit to Red Bull Arena on April 9, 2016. The last regular-season meeting at Children’s Mercy Park saw Sporting cruise to a 2-0 win behind a brace from Dom Dwyer on May 3, 2017. #SKCvNY: Recent Meetings (Series tied 21-21-13 in regular season)

Sporting KC Game Notes | April 14, 2019 vs. New York Red Bulls | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes BACK ON THE MLS GRIND

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

BUSIO THE RECORD SETTER

Following Thursday’s Concacaf Champions League elimination at the hands of C.F. Monterrey, Sporting Kansas City now returns to MLS action with three trophies still available to the club in 2019: MLS Cup, Supporters’ Shield and the U.S. Open Cup. Sporting KC has opened the season 2-1-2 in MLS play while going 3-3-0 in the doomed Champions League run, and is set to host the New York Red Bulls at Children’s Mercy Park this Sunday.

Sporting Kansas City midfielder Gianluca Busio continued his record-setting ways by netting the side’s only goal in last Sunday’s 1-1 draw with FC Cincinnati away from home at Nippert Stadium. Busio pounced on a miscue from the Cincinnati backline to slide home a finish into an empty net from a tight angle in the 62nd minute to salvage a point for Sporting KC. Eight days after finding the back of the net in a 7-1 demolition of the Montreal Impact to become the youngest MLS goal scorer at Children’s Mercy Park, Busio struck again at Nippert Stadium to help his side extend its unbeaten run to four league matches. In doing so, Busio - at 16 years and 314 days - became the youngest player in MLS history to score in back-to-back regular season matches.

Sporting KC opened the season with a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat to Los Angeles FC on March 3 at Banc of California Stadium 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. Sporting picked up road draws at the Colorado Rapids on March 17 and at FC Cincinnati on April 4 either side of a 7-1 thrashing of the Montreal Impact at home in their last home MLS match on March 30. That leaves Sporting KC in seventh place in the Western Conference with eight points.

Busio now has three goals and one assist after starting just three of 11 MLS appearances for the club, totaling up to just 367 minutes. In 2018, Busio burst onto the scene when he recorded the game-winning assist on Diego Rubio’s goal during his first MLS start in a 1-0 win over the Houston Dynamo on the road in early August, before tallying his first professional goal in a 4-1 road victory over the Vancouver Whitecaps in mid October.

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 Sunday’s game against the Red Bulls, Sporting KC will end a stretch of five games in 16 days. Sporting will get a full week off for the first time since the final week of March to prepare for next Saturday’s road game against the San Jose Earthquakes at Avaya Stadium.

Busio joined the Sporting KC Academy in 2016 and was signed as the club’s youngest ever player in August of 2017 at the age of 15 years and 89 days.

CONGESTION CHARGE

Sporting KC and the Red Bulls are in a dead heat in the all-time series between the two clubs, which each side posting 21 victories and 13 draws since 1996. Sporting holds the advantage at home, going 15-9-5.

Sporting Kansas City has 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 in the midst of a five-game stretch in the space of 16 days.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE RUN COMES TO A HALT

Sporting Kansas City’s deep run in the Concacaf Champions League came to a screeching halt over the past week as the side was defeated in the Semifinal stage by C.F. Monterrey by a 10-2 scoreline, falling 5-0 in the First Leg at Estadio BBVA Bancomer and 5-2 in the Second Leg at Children’s Mercy Park.

Sporting KC will bring an end to their early-season schedule madness this weekend when the side hosts the New York Red Bulls at Children’s Mercy Park in MLS regularseason play on Sunday. The side will then have a full week ahead of their next match against the San Jose Earthquakes at Avaya Stadium on Sunday, April 20. The next time Sporting KC will play three games in a week is between May 26 through June 1.

Sporting had seen off Mexican side Deportivo Toluca in the Round of 16 by an impressive 5-0 aggregate scoreline, winning 3-0 at home and 2-0 away - marking the biggest aggregate victory of an MLS team against a Liga MX side in the tournament’s history.

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 Quarterfinals, Sporting KC faced Panamanian surprise package Club Atletico Independiente and were initially in a hole, suffering a 2-1 defeat in the First Leg at Estadio Agustin Sanchez, before rebounding at home with a resounding 3-0 victory to advance to the Semifinal stage 4-2 on aggregate.

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.

Gerso Fernandes and Krisztian Nemeth split the team-lead for goals in the tournament with four, while Gerso and Johnny Russell were tied for the team-lead with two assists over six matches. Sporting KC were the only MLS team to advance to the Semifinals, as Toronto FC was eliminated in the Round of 16 before Atlanta United FC, the Houston Dynamo and the New York Red Bulls were all knocked out in the Quarterfinals.

GERSO CONTINUES FINE FORM

Sporting Kansas City winger Gerso Fernandes continued his excellent start to the 2019 season with two goals in Thursday night’s 5-2 defeat to C.F. Monterrey in the Concacaf Champions League Semifinals Second Leg at Children’s Mercy Park. Down 5-0 on aggregate from the First Leg, Gerso gave Sporting a glimmer of hope with a sixth-minute strike, before also making it 2-1 in the 29th minute.

Sporting KC reached the Semifinals of the Concacaf Champions League for the first time in the tournament’s current format, though the side had previously reached the Semifinals of the Concacaf Champions Cup in 2002 before falling on Monarcas Morelia of Liga MX - with both current Manager Peter Vermes and current assistant coach Kerry Zavagnin playing on the team.

Gerso now has four goals and four assists across 10 appearances in all competitions in 2019, having recorded six goals and six assists across 36 games in 2018. He is Sporting KC’s second-highest scorer so far in 2019, only trailing Krisztian Nemeth’s tally of eight goals in the early parts of the campaign.

RUNNING WITH THE RED BULLS

Sporting Kansas City will meet the New York Red Bulls this weekend for the first and only time of the 2019 regular season when Sporting plays host on Sunday night at Children’s Mercy Park. Sporting KC and the Red Bulls are locked in a 21-21-13 tie in the all-time series since 1996, while Sporting holds a 15-9-5 edge at home.

Gerso arrived in Kansas City ahead of the 2017 MLS season after spending several years in Portugal’s top flight. The Guinea-Bissau native immediately became a fan favorite, scoring a team-best 10 goals across all competitions and helping Sporting lift the 2017 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in his first season.

The two sides met once last year in a thrilling encounter at Red Bull Arena on July 14, 2018. Bradley Wright-Phillips gave the hosts an early lead, before Johnny Russell responded shortly after. Roger Espinoza gave Sporting the lead early in the second half only for substitute Marc Rzatkowski to strike twice in stunning fashion and claim a memorable 3-2 victory for the eventual Supporters’ Shield winners.

Since joining Sporting, only Daniel Salloi has scored more goals in all competitions for the club than Gerso, as the Hungarian’s tally of 22 narrowly edges Gerso’s total of 20. Additionally, only Johnny Russell (17), Graham Zusi (17) and Roger Espinoza (16) have recorded more assists than Gerso’s tally of 13 since the start of the 2017 season.

SPECIAL OLYMPICS GAME SET FOR SUNDAY

Sporting last hosted the Red Bulls at Children’s Mercy Park in the 2017 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final on September 20, 2017. Sporting KC won 2-1, as Latif Blessing and Daniel Salloi each tallied goals either side of halftime before Wright-Phillips late consolation goal.

Sporting Kansas City has signed 14 players from Special Olympics Kansas and Special Olympics Missouri to two-game contracts, the club announced earlier this week. The unified team will take the field Sunday night at Children’s Mercy Park immediately after Sporting’s MLS match against the New York Red Bulls.

Sporting won their fourth major trophy since 2012 and condemned the Red Bulls to another cup final defeat, as the team formerly known as the MetroStars is yet to win a cup in their 24-year existence, though the side has won three Supporters’ Shields since 2013 (2013, 2015 and 2018).

After Sporting and New York exit the pitch, supporters are encouraged to stay in their seats for a Special Olympics Unified Soccer exchange game between Special Olympics Sporting Kansas City and Special Olympics New York Red Bulls.

LINDSEY UNDERGOES MENISCUS SURGERY

2026 WORLD CUP HEADING TO NORTH AMERICA

Lindsey enjoyed a breakout 2018 campaign with Sporting’s first team. The right back started nine of 10 first-team matches in all competitions, becoming the club’s youngest player to log 10 appearances in a season. He earned his first start of 2019 in the first leg of Sporting’s 4-2 aggregate win over Independiente in the CCL Quarterfinals.

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.

On Tuesday, April 2, Sporting Kansas City announced that defender Jaylin Lindsey had undergone successful surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee. Lindsey, a 19-year-old Academy product, is expected to miss the next four to five months while recovering from the surgery.

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.

Lindsey has represented the U.S. at the U-14, U-15, U-17 and U-20 levels, most recently helping the U-20s to a 2-2 draw with France and a 2-1 win over Japan last month.

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.

RECORD-SETTING 2018

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.

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.

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).

PLAYOFF STREAK REACHES EIGHT SEASONS

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.

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.

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.

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.

VERMES VERBATIM

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.

See below for comments from Sporting KC Manager and Sporting Director Peter Vermes following the 5-2 loss in the Concacaf Champions League Semifinals Second Leg against C.F. Monterrey at Children’s Mercy Park on Thursday, April 11, 2019. On the team’s approach to the second leg: “I think that it’s an important competition and we should play it to our fullest. I think we were in the game other than that we gave up two very soft goals early. That was the difference in the game for sure. After the first goal went in, you could see that we were deflated.”

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 team’s takeaways from CCL moving forward: “First off, you can’t put yourself in the deficit that we did going down there. Number two is you have to be much tougher in that you don’t give away soft goals like we did. We gave away soft goals there and we gave away soft goals here tonight. The first two were just ridiculous. When you do that and you’re playing against a team that’s good, they’re going to score. It’s simple.”

Vermes has compiled a 170-120-96 record in all competitions with Sporting KC, including a remarkable 20-6-3 mark in U.S. Open Cup contests. Vermes’ 135 wins in MLS regular-season action ranks fifth all-time and second among active coaches in MLS, trailing Los Angeles FC’s Bob Bradley.

On the turnaround to Sunday and now focusing only on MLS play: “If you’re only concentrating on one thing not two, obviously it makes it easier. Common sense would say yes. For me, when you get beat, you’re always going to have something inside you that’s going to want you to be better the next time you go out. That’s going to be up to see how the players react from that perspective. Our staff will be the same. We’ll work and be ready to get ready for the game. At the end of the day, the players have to perform on the field. They’re going to have to show that they have something inside them.”
