NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION vs SPORTING KANSAS CITY GILLETTE STADIUM, Foxborough, Mass. 7:30 p.m. ET (CSN-NE; KSMO)
April 23, 2011 (WEEK 6; MLS Game 53)
The next stop for the Sporting Kansas City season-opening road show is an Eastern Conference test against the New England Revolution at Gillette Stadium. The Revolution have lost two in a row after a bright start, last weekend falling 10 in Houston on a late goal. Sporting were knocked off 1-0 at Columbus last weekend as their 10-game trip continues while their new stadium is being completed. REFEREE: Edvin Jurisevic.

Kansas City had won two of three games at Gillette Stadium since a 2-0 Revolution win, Aug. 2, 2007. Kansas City will leave CommunityAmerica Ballpark with a three-game winning streak there against the Revolution. New England’s last win at KC came April 9, 2008. Coaches record: Steve Nicol vs. KC: P26 W6 L12 D8 … Peter Vermes v NE: P3 W2 L1 D0 NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION The New England Revolution lost for the second time in as many weeks, falling 1-0 to a late goal by the Houston Dynamo on Sunday afternoon at Robertson Stadium. The Revolution have 6 points from 6 matches, in a tie for sixth place in the Eastern Conference. LAST MATCH The talking points began early in the second half, when Bobby Boswell redirected a corner kick goalward. It was cleared from the line by Zack Schilawski and referee Alex Prus did not give the goal, though the Dynamo felt it had crossed the line. Then in the 86th minute, there was more. Cam Weaver hammered a header from another corner, the ball ricocheting straight up off the crossbar. Hunter Freeman got between Revolution goalkeeper Matt Reis and the goal line, and the ball bounced off his arm and into the goal for the winner. Revolution head coach Steve Nicol made six changes to the team that fell 2-0 to Real Salt Lake at Gillette Stadium. Matt Reis came in between the posts for Bobby Shuttleworth, and A.J. Soares, Darrius Barnes, Zak Boggs and Chris Tierney came back into the side while Rajko Lekic made his first start, with Shalrie Joseph and Pat Phelan suspended, Didier Domi injured and Ryan Cochrane and Kenny Mansally on the substitutes’ bench. NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION (4-3-2-1): Matt Reis - Kevin Alston, Franco Coria (Ryan Cochrane 79), A.J. Soares, Darrius Barnes - Zak Boggs, Stephen McCarthy, Chris Tierney - Marko Perovic, Zack Schilawski (Kenny Mansally 79) – Rajko Lekic TEAM NEWS With the absence of Shalrie Joseph and Pat Phelan to suspension, Steve Nicol started out his side with a three-pronged, giving his MLS debut to Danish striker Rajko Lekic at the spearhead of the attack.
MLS GAME INFORMATION
“We didn’t use the ball well enough to get forward. We had to make a lot of changes and it’s hard to have cohesion when you’re making changes, Nicol said to The Boston Globe. “But we feel we deserved a point after what we put into it. It’s disappointing the way it ended up. Had it been a good play, good passing, a good finish, you would feel better about it.’’ Matt Reis made his first appearance since April 2 vs. Portland, after missing two games with a strained right adductor. Reis was called upon to make seven saves as the Dynamo had 27 total attempts at goal. Rookie A.J. Soares returned to a spot in central defense after missing the Real Salt Lake match through suspension. Darrius Barnes made his first start since the season opener, in a somewhat unfamiliar spot at left back. Chris Tierney made his first start in the central midfield since May 29, 2010. “Every team wants all their players available; unfortunately, we didn’t have that,” Nicol said. “In the first half we tried to generate some stuff at the other end; in the second half we couldn’t get anything going. I thought we defended really well. The real problem we had was set pieces. We challenged really well.” After scoring five goals in their opening four games, the Revolution have now been shut out in back-to-back contests. “In the second half we didn’t get anything going,’’ Nicol said. “But we’re away from home and you want to be solid and be tight, keep resolute, and we did that. The biggest problem was going to be set pieces and we knew that. They have big guys and you have to try and defend them. On Wednesday, the Revolution announced the acquisition of U.S. international Benny Feilhaber. Last with AGF Aarhus in Denmark, Feilhaber has also played for Derby County FC (England) and Hamburger SV (Germany). He has made 38 appearances for the U.S. national team and played in the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City made their league return after a weekend off, falling 1-0 to the Columbus Crew on Saturday evening at Crew Stadium. Sporting have 4 points from 4 matches on the season, sitting in a tie for eighth place in the Eastern Conference. LAST MATCH The game's lone goal came eight minutes after the second-half restart. Kevin Burns sent a service into the penalty area where Dilly Duka flicked the pass back to Robbie Rogers on the left. Rogers chested the ball, then slotted a shot past KC goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen. Sporting finished the game a man down when defender Julio Cesar was sent off for a second caution in the 72nd minute. SKC boss Peter Vermes made no changes to the team that played to a 3-3 draw with Vancouver Whitecaps FC at Empire Field. SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-2-3-1): Jimmy Nielsen – Michael Harrington, Julio Cesar (sent off 72), Matt Besler, Roger Espinoza - Birahim Diop, Davy Arnaud (Graham Zusi 71) - Kei Kamara (Korede Aiyegbusi 87), Milos Stojcev (Shavar Thomas 75), C.J. Sapong - Teal Bunbury. TEAM NEWS The league’s most prolific attack, with eight goals through three games, Sporting Kansas City were held goalless in the loss at Columbus. SKC has conceded an average of 2.25 goals per game (nine goals in four games) – also leading MLS. “I thought we had a good first half and we created some very good chances in the first half. Coming in 0-0 at halftime was good being away from home,” Vermes said. “The goal they [Columbus] scored was a really good finish by Robbie [Rogers]. … Outside of that there was one other big save that our ‘keeper made and that was really it. I thought we had some really good chances but I don’t think we ever really tested [William] Hesmer.” With a second match without Omar Bravo in the lineup, out for 4-6 weeks after undergoing sports hernia surgery, Sporting maintained their three-pronged attack with Teal Bunbury at the spearhead and Kei Kamara and C.J. Sapong attacking from wide positions. “I thought we didn’t really give them any chances and I thought we had two or three really good chances of our own,” said attacking midfielder Davy Arnaud. “It would’ve been nice to get the goal but we still came in even at halftime. Vermes will have a decision to make in central defense after Júlio César was sent off in Columbus – SKC’s second red card in four matches. Bravo was expelled in the 3-2 loss at Chicago, March 26. “It completely changed everything because the game is still within reach, and all of a sudden it puts us behind the 8-ball,” Vermes said. “We’re trying to formulate an attack and defend down a man, which is difficult.” Just before the close of the transfer signing window, Sporting were able to sign defender Aurélien Collin, last with Vitoria Setubal in Portugal. The club is still awaiting arrival of his international transfer certificate, but he is expected to be available for the New England match. “I just think he’s tailor-made for this league with the qualities that he has,” Vermes said. “He can play three positions; central defender, right back and defensive midfield. He is incredibly experienced in the places that he’s been and the number of team’s that he’s played with.”

Shalrie Joseph scored his fourth goal in five games and Bobby Shuttleworth made four saves to record the first shutout of his MLS career, as the Revolution closed its 2010 home schedule with a 1-0 win over the Kansas City Wizards ... Kansas City outshot New England by a margin of 22-7, but Joseph’s 31st-minute effort was the only shot which found the back of the net as the Revolution captain seized on a mistake by Wizards goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen to score the decisive goal ... Chris Tierney’s long, bouncing ball out of the back drew Nielsen out of his box as he rushed to claim, but he was late arriving and Joseph calmly headed the ball around the goalkeeper before finishing into an empty net.

NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION VS. SPORTING KANSAS CITY
MISCELLANEOUS TEAM NOTES NEW-LOOK REVS TO DEBUT Saturday’s game will mark the debut of the team’s new jersey partner – UnitedHealthcare … UnitedHealthcare is an operating division of UnitedHealth Group, the largest single health carrier in the U.S. … the multi-year Revs-UnitedHealthcare partnership will focus on promoting health and wellness in the New England community, especially chronic-illness prevention, including childhood obesity and diabetes in young adults … the new partnership, including the UnitedHealthcare-adorned Revolution jersey, was announced on Friday, April 22, at a free community clinic at Gillette Stadium that featured the entire Revolution roster (first team, Under-18s, Under-16s), Investor/Operator Jonathan Kraft and UnitedHealthcare CEO of National Accounts, Mike Matteo, as well as almost 1,000 local children. BENNY AND THE REVS Recently-acquired World Cup veteran Benny Feilhaber is expected to be available for selection on Saturday after arriving in Boston late Thursday afternoon from Copenhagen … he underwent his entrance physical upon his arrival and was to train with the team for the first time on Friday morning during its brief day-before-the-game session … Feilhaber, who was a member of the U.S.’ 2010 World Cup squad and 2008 U.S. Olympic squad, came to the Revs through the MLS Allocation Process … New England was ranked No. 3, behind No. 1 Chivas USA and No. 2 Philadelphia, but both teams passed on Feilhaber’s rights, allowing the Revs the option to acquire him. BENNY WAS “BROUGHT TO BOSTON” In light of the news that Benny Feilhaber had a chance to land in New England through the Allocation Process, the Twitter-verse exploded and the Revolution supporters group, The Rebellion, latched on to the #BringBennyToBoston movement … through the use of the hashtag and constant online chatter about Feilhaber on Tuesday evening during the final stages of the Allocation decision, “Feilhaber” was trending nation wide. GREENER GOALS ARE SET FOR SATURDAY On one of the “greenest” weekends of the year, the Revs will inch closer toward achieving their Greener Goals at Saturday’s game … in celebration of Earth Day on April 22, the Revolution will help raise environmental awareness with a series of activities at Saturday’s game: • Massachusetts Department of Transportation’s MassRIDES division will be on site promoting the NuRide rewards program, which allows commuters to accumulate points toward Massachusetts-area rewards (more info at www.nuride.com) • Waste Management will be on site to collect used household batteries (AA, AAA, C, D, 9-volt), as well as old cell phones • MLS W.O.R.K.S. will distribute 5,000 eco-tip guides, as well as 1,000 packets of seeds to fans • MLS W.O.R.K.S. also purchased Renewable Energy Certificates – from 100 percent wind resources – from Portland, Ore.-based Bonneville Environmental Foundation to offset 100 percent of the electricity used at Gillette Stadium during Saturday’s game THE BOYS ARE BACK ON SATURDAY Midfielders Shalrie Joseph and Pat Phelan are scheduled to return to the field on Saturday against Kansas City … both players were forced to sit out last Sunday’s game in Houston while serving one-game red-card suspensions for their infractions against Real Salt Lake on Saturday, April 9 … Sunday’s game was the first match Joseph had missed since May 15, 2010, against San Jose … for Phelan, it was the first match he had missed since he was forced to sit a game on Oct. 16, 2010, against Kansas City, because of a yellow-card accumulation suspension. REIS RETURNS Matt Reis, who missed the last two matches with a right adductor strain, returned to the lineup on Sunday at Houston … the Revs’ netminder was called into duty often in his return performance, making seven saves … Reis missed all but 14 games of the 2010 season while recovering or undergoing three different surgeries – shoulder, knee and ankle. NEW TEAM “IRON MAN” EMERGES With Shalrie Joseph missing last Sunday’s match in Houston while he served his one-game red-card suspension, his team-leading 25-game consecutive appearance mark was snapped … the Revs’ captain had appeared in all of the Revs’ MLS matches since May 22, 2010, at Toronto … the Revs’ new consecutive appearances leader is Zack Schilawski, who has seen time in nine straight games dating back to Oct. 10, 2010, at Houston. LET’S MEET LEKIC The Revolution’s second-newest signing, Danish forward Rajko Lekic, joined the team at training for the first time as a member of the club on Tuesday, April 12, and then made his MLS and Revolution debut on Sunday, April 17, at Houston, playing 90 minutes at forward … Lekic lined up at forward with Marko Perović and Zack Schilawski and had one shot in his inaugural run-out with the club … the Dane is best known for the time with his most recent club, Silkeborg, with whom he made 121 appearances and scored 76 goals in two separate stints.
NICOL’S TENURE GROWS Steve Nicol coached his 273rd MLS match last Sunday in Houston, moving into sole possession of second place on the MLS games coached list … all of his games coached have come with the Revolution (1999, 2002-present), and is MLS’ longest-tenured coach with a single team in league history … Nicol passed current U.S. National Team head coach (and former Chivas USA, New York and Chicago boss) Bob Bradley, who coached 272 MLS games during a nineyear span (1998-2006) … the league’s all-time games coached leader is Seattle head coach Sigi Schmid, who has coached 322 MLS games, spanning 12 different seasons. YOUNGINGS GUNNING The Revs’ preferred center back tandem of rookie A.J. Soares and newcomer Franco Coria has formed one of the youngest defensive duos in MLS … both are 22 years old and are in their first seasons in New England … Coria, who signed in February and joined the team ahead of its trip to the Atlanta area in early March, came from Chacarita Juniors in Argentina, while the Revs drafted Soares from Cal with the sixth overall pick in the 2011 MLS SuperDraft … the duo has combined to help limit the Revs’ defense to just a 1.17 goals against average through six games after posting a league-worst 1.67 goals against average and allowing a league-high 50 goals in 2010. RUNNING OUT QUICKLY Entering this week’s competition schedule, only five teams in MLS have played six or more games so far this season: New England, LA, Seattle, Toronto, and Vancouver … New England is one of only two teams in the Eastern Conference to have met the six-game threshold, and incidentally, in the process of playing six games, has played two of the other four teams … on March 20, the Revs drew at LA, 1-1, and then also earned a 1-1 draw at Vancouver on April 6. SIX-SIX-SIX Through six games, the Revolution has launched 66 shots … the 66 shots rank seventh in MLS, however the team has only scored five goals, to tie for 13th (of 18 teams) in MLS. GET MORE ON TARGET While the Revs rank seventh in the league in shots, the team enters the weekend tied for 13th in shots on goal as just 19 of the team’s 66 shots have been on frame. PHANTOM OF THE PITCH HAS LEFT THE BUILDING You may have noticed a masked figure on the field roaming the right back position the last two games … Kevin Alston suffered a broken nose courtesy of Vancouver’s Eric Hassli’s elbow on April 6, and the third-year Indiana Hoosier was fitted with a clear protective mask to prevent further damage … however, Alston was cleared to play without the mask after just two weeks, and is now mask-free. YELLOW FEVER SUBSIDES After picking up just one yellow card caution combined in the team’s first two games, the Revs had a three-game case of yellow fever from April 2 against Portland, and spanning the April 6 game at Vancouver and the April 9 game against Real Salt Lake … New England accumulated nine yellow cards in the those three games, culminating in a season-high four yellows in the last match against RSL … however, the yellow fever cleared in time for last game, as the Revs returned to good behavior and were not shown any cautions while committing a season-low nine fouls at Houston on April 17. SEEING RED The Revolution picked up three red cards in the last three games … overall, through six games, New England’s three red cards put them in a tie for the league lead in the category with LA and Vancouver … as a point of comparison, the Revs picked up four red cards all season in each of the last two seasons (2010, 2009), and five in 2008 … the team’s record for red cards in one season is six, set in 1998. GETTING BUSY WITH GAMES IN APRIL With now seven games on the docket in April, the Revs are soon to close their busiest month schedule-wise in 2011 ... the team is scheduled to play every weekend in April - all five - and traveled to Vancouver for a midweek match against the league newcomers on April 6 ... Tuesday’s U.S. Open Cup play-in match in D.C. was added to the schedule after United advanced past Philadelphia in the first MLS play-in round … April’s six league games match a seasonhigh with August, which also sees six matches scheduled ... in the month of April alone, the Revs will travel approximately 15,800 miles (Vancouver via Dallas; Houston; Washington, D.C.; Los Angeles for Chivas USA) in addition to playing three other home matches. BACK-TO-BACK BLANKINGS After scoring goals in each of the team’s first four games, the Revolution has been shut out in its last two games, falling to Real Salt Lake, 2-0, and then at Houston, 1-0 … they are the first two shutouts the Revs have had in 2011, after being shut out a team-record 11 times in 2010.
NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION VS. SPORTING KANSAS CITY MATT’S A-MAZ-ING IN APRIL In addition to his proclivity in March – a month in which he’s gone 4-0-1 with an 0.60 goals against average in his career – Matt Reis has historically posted solid results in the month of April, as well … in 27 appearances in April, Reis has posted a 13-6-7 record with an 0.99 goals against average and nine shutouts … Reis has made two appearances so far this April, going 0-1-1 with a 1.00 goals against average. THEY’RE SAVE MEN … The Revs’ goalkeeping tandem of Matt Reis and Bobby Shuttleworth enter the week tied for first in MLS in saves with 24 combined in the team’s first six matches … the Revolution goalkeeping unit’s 24 saves are tied with Toronto’s 24 … when breaking down the saves per keeper, however, Reis’ 20 saves in four matches would rank him – alone – third in MLS among teams, ahead of Vancouver and Houston (19 each). …AND A SAVE MAN Matt Reis’ 20 saves ranks second among individual goalkeepers in MLS, four saves behind Toronto’s Stefan Frei’s 24 … Frei has made his 24 saves in six matches, while Reis’ 20 have come in just four games … among the top 10 goalkeepers in saves, Reis’ 5.00 saves per game is tops, ahead of RSL’s Nick Rimando’s 4.33 saves per game. PHELAN ADDS TO SCORING STATS While Pat Phelan has developed a reputation as one of the league’s most consistent and hard-working defensive central midfielders, he has been working his way into the attack more and more each season … as a third-year pro in 2010, Phelan scored two goals and added one assist in 28 appearances, one year removed from being blanked in both goals and assists in 21 appearances in 2009 … Phelan recorded his second career assist in Vancouver on April 6, and now stands with two goals and two assists in his career. MCCARTHY AND SCHILAWSKI STAND ALONE Entering Saturday’s match – the team’s seventh of the season – only two players have appeared in every game: rookie midfielder Stephen McCarthy and sophomore striker Zack Schilawski … both players have started all six matches to start the year … no other player has appeared in every game this season. “SPOTTING” AN EARLY TREND So far this season, the Revs have already been involved in three penalty-kick decisions – one for and two against – in six games ... the Revs had their first penalty for called on March 26 against D.C. in the team’s home opener ... in addition to drawing a penalty, the Revs were also whistled for a penalty in the same game … at Vancouver on April 6, the Revs were again adjudged to have committed a foul in the box, and the Whitecaps were awarded – and converted – a penalty … ironically, referee Baldomero Toledo was the center official in both the D.C. and Vancouver games ... in 2010, the Revs were not awarded their first penalty until the 26th game of the year - against Columbus at home on Sept. 25 - when both teams were awarded penalty kicks. “HOMETOWN” HEROES POPULATE THE ROSTER The Revolution now has five New England natives on the roster, lending credence to the team’s moniker ... in addition to veterans Pat Phelan (Enfield, Conn.) and Chris Tierney (Wellesley, Mass.) who are now in their fourth seasons with the team, the Revs added three more local players this off-season ... outside midfielder Ryan Kinne (Naugatuck, Conn.) and central midfielder Andrew Sousa (Fall River, Mass.) were both 2011 draft selections and signed during preseason training ... in high school, Kinne was the 2006 NSCAA Connecticut State Player of the Year, while Sousa played at nearby B.M.C. Durfee High School in Fall River ... joining them is Diego Fagundez (Home Grown, Leominster, Mass.) who was signed to the senior team in November. GO DIEGO, GO! The Revolution’s Home Grown player - midfielder Diego Fagundez – is finally spending some time training with the first team, joining the senior squad this week for training during Massachusetts’ public school vacation week ... before this week, the 16-year-old high school freshman from Leominster, Mass., was training with the Revs’ Under-16 and Under-18 squads who are currently in the midst of their spring schedule in the U.S. Soccer Development Academy ... Fagundez has scored 13 goals and added eight assists in 17 games during the 2010-11 youth season (11 goals, five assists in 14 games with the U16s; two goals, three assists in three games with the U18s) ...

Sporting Kansas City fell 1-0 in their last meeting with the New England Revolution on October 16, 2010 in a regular season Eastern Conference match-up that served as New England’s 2010 home finale at Gillette Stadium. The loss officially ended Kansas City’s chances of qualifying for the 2010 MLS Cup Playoffs, en route to a third place finish in the East last year and a 11-13-6 record.
BUNBURY BUZZ | After scoring as a second-half substitute against Chicago in his return from a dislocated elbow suffered during the pre-season, Sporting Kansas City striker Teal Bunbury scored twice in his first start of the 2011 season in KC’s 3-3 draw at Vancouver. Making his first appearance in Canada since committing to the U.S. Men’s National Team, the Ontario-native recorded the first multi-goal game of his professional career. While the three goals in three matches are tied for second most in MLS, Bunbury also provided the game-winning assist in overtime of Sporting KC’s 1-0 win over the Houston Dynamo earlier this month in the 2011 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup qualifier.
Revolution midfielder Shalrie Joseph scored the game’s lone goal in the the 31st minute with a header past outrushing Kansas City goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen. The assist was credited to defender Chris Tierney for the long service out of the back. The loss was Kansas City’s first regular season defeat on the road in the series since 2007 and was the first time the team had walked away with no points against New England in eight meetings, dating back to 2008. New England went on to finish in sixth place in the Eastern Conference with 32 points from a 9-16-5 season.
Kansas City Connections • Sporting Kansas City and the New England Revolution could meet again next month in the 2011 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup final play-in match. Sporting KC advanced past the Houston Dynamo in overtime on April 6th courtesy of a goal from rookie striker C.J. Sapong in the 92nd minute, and will now the host the winner between D.C. United and the New England Revolution on April 26th at the Maryland SoccerPlex in Boyds, Maryland. New England and Kansas City are two of ten MLS teams vying for one of the two qualification berths available for the tournament proper. • New England Revolution Vice President of Player Personnel Mike Burns completed his playing career in Kansas City. He appeared in 47 games including postseason for KC in 2001 and 2002, recording five assists. • New England Revolution goalkeeper Matt Reis recorded his first career victory as a rookie against Kansas City on April 18th, 1998. He then went on to post his career-high in saves with 11 shots stopped against Kansas City on July 11th, 2009 in a scoreless draw. • Sporting Kansas City captain Davy Arnaud scored his first international goal at Gillette Stadium on July 11th, 2009 in a CONCACAF Gold Cup match against Haiti at the Revolution’s home stadium. Arnaud has seven appearances for the United States Men’s National Team. • Sporting Kansas City hosted English Premier League powerhouse Manchester United last July and prevailed 2-1 despite playing down a man for the majority of the match. The New England Revolution will now take their turn to topple Manchester United this year when they host the Red Devils in the 2011 World Football Challenge on July 13th at Gillette Stadium.
The fourth overall draft pick in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft out of Akron, Bunbury enjoyed a standout rookie season with five goals and two assists in 26 appearances. He also became the youngest player in Kansas City history to record an assist at 20 years, 77 days in Kansas City’s 2-1 loss at D.C. United on May 5. His five goals last season were the most by a KC rookie since Scott Sealy scored nine times in 2005. During the offseason, Bunbury made his international debut for the U.S. Men’s National Team in a friendly against South Africa in November and scored in his second appearance on a penalty kick against Chile at The Home Depot Center in January. KAMARA KEY | Sporting Kansas City striker Kei Kamara has also started the 2011 with his name often on the scoresheet. After recording two assists in the club’s season-opening 3-2 victory at Chivas USA, Kamara missed the team’s second match while with the Sierra Leone National Team for an African Cup of Nations qualifier but picked up right where he left off with his first goal of the 2011 season at Vancouver. Kamara is coming off a career year, scoring a team-high 10 goals and six assists, and has already accumulated four points in three matches this season. Both marks from last season were personal career-highs for Kamara, now in his sixth year in MLS. Kamara has seven appearances for Sierra Leone. STOJCEV AS PLAYMAKER | Sporting Kansas City Serbian midfielder Milos Stojcev is tied for sixth-most assists in MLS after he recorded two assists in KC’s 3-3 draw at Vancouver. After setting up striker Teal Bunbury in the 58th minute with a well-weighted pass into the penalty area, Stojcev earned his second MLS point four minutes later on a pass to rookie C.J. Sapong, who set up Kei Kamara’s first-time finish. The 24-year-old was a product of the Red Star Belgrade youth academy and played in the Serbian SuperLiga since debuting at age 19 in 2006. He has appeared in the UEFA Cup, including an appearance against Dutch giants Ajax Amsterdam while with his previous club, FK Borac Cacak. COLLIN AT CENTERBACK | Sporting Kansas City’s most recent signing, Aurelien Collin was added to the roster this week after receiving his International Transfer Certificate. The 25-year-old French defender joins Kansas City after previously playing for Vitoría Futebol Clube in Liga ZON Sagres, the Portuguese top flight.
Sporting Kansas City Game Notes | April 23, 2011 vs. New England Revolution | www.SportingKC.com
Collin has trained with the team since March as a guest trialist/ Collin started his professional career with Scottish side Gretna F.C. during the 2007-08 season. Collin would then have a short spell with Greek club Panserraikos, before joining Blue Square Premier Club Wrexham F.C. in February 2009. He then signed a two-year contract with Vitoría, making 14 appearances this season with 12 starts for the club, contributing in three clean sheets. Collin also featured predominantly in the Taça de Portugal, the Portuguese Cup, scoring in the club’s 3-2 quarterfinal loss to Académica de Coimbra.
as Sporting KC signed defender Kevin Ellis as their second Home Grown Player out of the Sporting KC Juniors academy and also signed defender Scott Lorenz, who spent his first professional season playing with the NSC Minnesota Stars of USSF D2 in 2010. ROAD TRIP | Sporting Kansas City will open the season with ten straight regular season away matches while the final touches are put on LIVESTRONG Sporting Park, the team’s new state-of-theart, $200 million venue. It is believed to be the longest stretch of away games in MLS history. Kansas City is 60-121-52 all-time away from home, and went 4-8-3 on the road in 2010.
SAPONG’S STRONG START | Sporting Kansas City striker C.J. Sapong scored in the second minute of overtime to lead KC to a 1-0 win over the Houston Dynamo earlier this month in a 2011 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup qualifier. KC advances to host the winner of D.C. United vs. New England Revolution for one of Major League Soccer’s two play-in berths for the tournament proper.
BRAVO SIDELINED | Sporting Kansas City Designated Player Omar Bravo suffered a sports hernia injury and underwent surgery last week. The timetable on his return is three to six weeks based on preliminary reports. Bravo was named MLS Player of the Week after scoring two goals in his MLS debut against Chivas USA in Sporting Kansas City’s season-opening 3-2 victory.
Sapong has played every minute for Sporting Kansas City in 2011 and scored in the second minute of his first ever professional match, powering a shot past Chivas USA goalkeeper Zach Thornton just 1 minute, 45 seconds into the season opener. It goes into the MLS record books as the fastest goal ever scored by a rookie who started in their debut, besting the mark set by teammate Michael Harrington who scored in the third minute of his debut in 2007.
UPCOMING MILESTONES
Sapong, selected in the first round of the 2011 MLS SuperDraft out of James Madison University, also recorded his first professional assist in Sporting Kansas City’s 3-3 draw at Vancouver on a cross to Kei Kamara in the 62nd minute. ROOKIE CLASS | In addition to Sapong, two other 2011 draft picks are on Sporting Kansas City’s current roster. Defender Konrad Warzycha, the son of Columbus Crew coach Robert Warzycha, was taken in the third round of the SuperDraft and defender Mike Jones was picked up in the Supplemental Draft out of Southern Illinois University - Edwardsville.
