MATCH PREVIEW - GAME 10 The Lions return to Orlando City Stadium looking to extend their perfect home record. In the Club’s last match at home, second-half substitutes Carlos Rivas and Kaká provided the extra spark in the final third to extend its impeccable form at home. Rivas, who leads the team with four assists, opened the scoring in the 70th minute with a left-footed rocket into the top corner. Then in stoppage time, Kaká sealed the deal and brought the sold-out crowd to its feet after he tapped in the rebound of Cyle Larin’s shot off the post. The win marked City’s third shutout of the season and extended City’s own Major League Soccer (MLS) record for most consecutive wins to open a new stadium to five.

Last weekend, the Lions fell to Houston behind a brace from Mauro Manotas and a goal each from Honduran wingers Alberth Elis and Romell Quioto. The match featured the return of Uruguayan defender José Aja, who played alongside Redding, while Giles Barnes and Larin both started up top together for the first time this season. The trip to Houston concluded a 3,000-mile trip for City since leaving for Toronto. Larin leads the Lions with six goals and Kaká is second with two goals in just 138 minutes. Scott Sutter and Will Johnson are tied for second in assists with two assists each, while Larin, Toia, and Bendik have started all nine matches for City to begin the season. SKC is coming off of a 2-0 road loss to Minnesota United FC. Miguel Ibarra recorded two first-half assists to Abu Danlade and Christian Ramirez. Dom Dwyer, who played for Orlando City during the 2013 United Soccer League season, leads Kansas City with five goals but will miss the match due to yellow card accumulation. USMNT midfielder Benny Feilhaber and right back Graham Zusi, originally from Longwood, Fla., each have two assists. The Lions face a quick turnaround when they travel to California to face the San Jose Earthquakes on Wednesday, May 17. Kickoff is set for 10:30 p.m. ET.

MATCH 9 STATS / SUMMARY
MATCH 9 RECAP Just three days after its last match, Orlando City SC (6-3-0, 18 points) fell, 4-0, to the Houston Dynamo (5-3-1, 16 points) Saturday at BBVA Compass Stadium to complete a two-game road trip. “I think we went up against a buzzsaw tonight. Obviously we’re fatigued, we traveled, difficult circumstances and Houston has a lot of gifted attacking players and a lot of speed,” Lions Head Coach Jason Kreis said. “We’ll go back to the drawing board, get the guys collected and recuperated and next week will be a big match for us.” Kreis came out with a slightly altered starting XI that featured José Aja alongside Tommy Redding and full backs Scott Sutter and Donny Toia. Antonio Nocerino, Will Johnson, Luis Gil and Matías Pérez García manned the midfield with former Dynamo forward Giles Barnes next to Larin. Johnson wore the captain’s armband for the seventh time. The match featured the first penalty kick of the season for or against the Lions. Mauro Manotas pulled the penalty kick wide of the left post in the 11th minute. Kaká and Carlos Rivas entered the match in the 58th minute and increased the pressure on Houston. Kaká directed several creative combinations and Rivas served nice crosses for Larin. After one goal from Alberth Elis in the first half, Manotas scored two goals six minutes apart in the second half and Romell Quioto finished the scoring in the 75th minute. The Lions return to Orlando City Stadium on Saturday, May 13 to host Sporting Kansas City at 7 p.m. ET.

MATCH 9 POSTGAME QUOTES
MATCH 10 PREGAME QUOTES
Orlando City Head Coach Jason Kreis
Orlando City Head Coach Jason Kreis
On effect of fatigue and travel on team
On Sporting Kansas City
“I think it may have, absolutely. It’s difficult. We know it’s difficult in our league, with the travel. The way it is and what you’re asked to do – to play an opponent that didn’t have a game midweek, when we traveled to Canada and back down South. It’s a big challenge, but we knew that. And I’m not here to make any excuses. For me, Houston had a particular game plan. They came out and executed it perfectly and they punished us, so I have nothing negative to say about our guys, our performance, I only have full credit to Houston.”
“Very organized team. A team that looks like it’s been together for quite a while now and the majority of their players have been and with the same coach so I think they have a very clear identification of who they are and what they’re trying to do. Very dangerous opponent for us this weekend.”
On if the team needs to hit the reset button
“He’s an important player for us. For his leadership and organization, and I think we lacked a little of that tonight for sure. Yeah, he’s fine. He’s got an ankle injury that he’s been suffering with for three weeks now and we felt that this was a time that we had to do a bit of rotation and give him a bit of rest before the next game.”
“For sure we need to hit the reset button but before we hit the reset button I think it’s important that we take ownership of that performance. That’s what we’ve been talking to our players about. While we’re very happy with where we’re at right now being 6-3-0, we can’t be content and we can’t be complacent. I felt like the first half against Toronto and the majority of the match against Houston there was an air of complacency in the group. That cannot be us. Now it’s fully on us to show that that was a blip in the road, to take ownership of it and to move forward.”
On becoming team that wins on the road
On the team’s reaction after Houston
“Well, we’ve had four games on the road. We won one of them, so we’ve shown that we’re capable of it. We’ve performed pretty well in the other two. So for me, there’s only one game where I would say it was a negative performance. I think if we perform as well as we did in the other three, then we will get points on the road, but this one, again, full credit to our opponent.”
Orlando City Midfielder Will Johnson
“Absolutely. We saw some anger, we saw some real grave disappointment in the players’ faces in the locker room. Us as a coaching staff, we were angry and disappointed. That’s the emotions that go into losing, no matter the score. We saw a lot of the same things against Toronto, actually. So I think that’s an important part of the process. No. 1 you need to have players that feel really disappointed and take ownership of results like that and then no. 2 you need to move foward from that and show that we’re all experienced and of the right mindset to be able to do that.”
On how Orlando City can improve road form
Orlando City Midfielder Antonio Nocerino
“Every game is different and every team poses different challenges. We have to be tighter defensively; that’s obvious. We haven’t gotten a shutout on the road; that’s disappointing. We’ve just got to be tighter and make sure we limit their chances. We know teams are going to press and attack us. We can’t get in these games where we’re chasing the game. The four road games we’ve played, the three we’ve lost, we’ve given up the first goal. That’s really hurt us. We need to get that first goal in the next one.”
On responding from last week
On moving on from loss
Orlando City Forward Giles Barnes
“You lose games on the road and the good teams in this league are the ones able to take the loss and then get back to what we do best and win the next one. Teams that struggle let these loses fester and start to knock their confidence, let one loss become two then three, four and before you know it you can’t get out of a tailspin. We have to regroup and put in a shift next week and look forward to trying to get a win.”
On responding from last week
On missing Jonathan Spector
Orlando City Defender Donny Toia On bouncing back next match “The good news is we are at home. We have to come out swinging. We are at home, we need to stay winning at home and we have to stay together. That’s the most important thing right now. After two losses in a row, we have to come together, stay together and come out with a win at home.”
“Last week, we played two games. For me, the second half with Toronto was good. With Houston, no. But it’s important to look at the next game because it’s very important to work for three points. Especially when we play at home. After two losses, it’s not possible to have another [bad] game. We have a good opportunity for a win, especially when we’re at home.”
“You have to just take it as a blip. We have to learn from it, we have to realize the mistakes where we actually went wrong. It’s been addressed. We’ve had a fairly good run so far and that’s what we need to focus on. Obviously we take the negatives out of that game and turn it into a positive into the next game.”
On Sporting Kansas City “They’re traditionally a good team every single year. I don’t think they really change formation or personnel. When they get people in and out they’re one-for-one. They’ve got a good defense, they’ve got good strikers. But at the end of the day we just have to take those negatives, have the rest of the week good training and focus at getting back to what we’re best at.”

4 ORLANDO CITY NEWS AND NOTES
VS ORL VS SKC
1
THREE POINTS APIECE
Orlando City and Sporting KC have split the all-time series with a home win apiece. On Sept. 13, 2015, Orlando City defeated Kansas City, 3-1, at home with help from an Adrian Winter brace and Bryan Róchez’s first career goal. The win kicked off City’s five-game winning streak, which is the longest such streak in the Club’s MLS era. Then on May 15, 2016, the Lions traveled to Children’s Mercy Park and grabbed the opening goal but fell, 2-1. Joe Bendik set the franchise single-game saves record with 10 and earned MLS Save of the Year for his back-to-back stops on Dom Dwyer and Graham Zusi.
2
THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME
Orlando City set an MLS record when the Lions beat LA Galaxy 2-1 at home to become the first MLS team to open up a new stadium with four straight wins. Orlando City extended that record with a 2-0 defeat over Colorado. In five games at home this season, Orlando City has scored eight goals while conceding just two and has earned three clean sheets. Sporting KC, meanwhile, is just 1-2-2 away from home.
3
SUTTER-DAY BIRTHDAY
Scott Sutter is celebrating his 31st birthday on Saturday. Sutter has played every minute since making his Orlando City debut in Columbus on April 1. The English-born right back has two assists and has contributed to two of City’s three clean sheets this season. Sutter made the MLS Team of the Week bench in Week 9 after City’s 2-0 win over Colorado. Also celebrating a birthday this week was José Aja, who turned 24 on Wednesday.
FLORIDIAN CONNECTION
Orlando City and Sporting Kansas City share several personnel connections. Servando Carrasco played nine games with Kansas City in 2015 before being acquired via trade in July 2015. Orlando City goalkeeper coach Tim Mulqueen is also familiar with Kansas City, having served as goalkeeper coach for the Wizards from 2000 to 2004. Additionally, Sporting KC midfielder Graham Zusi is from Longwood, Fla., and graduated from Lake Brantley HS.
5
MEMORY LANE
In addition to the shared personnel, Orlando City and Sporting Kansas City also share a club connection. In January 2013, City and Sporting entered into two-year partnership, making Orlando City the official USL PRO affiliate of SKC. The agreement brought players such as C.J. Sapong, Jon Kempin and Dom Dwyer to the City Beautiful and set the Lions up for the most successful year in Club history. City finished 2013 in second place, one point behind firstplace Richmond and nine points clear of third. The Lions routed Pittsburgh, 5-0, in the first round of the playoffs, and defeated Charleston to reach their second Final in three years. Dwyer returned on loan to Orlando for the title game and etched his name into Club history with four goals to capture the championship. Dwyer is unavailable for Saturday’s match due to yellow card accumulation.
6
FOR CLUB AND COUNTRY
Orlando City will be without defender Tommy Redding, who was called up to the U.S. U-20 national team ahead of the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Korea Republic. The Oviedo, Fla., native has earned 15 caps for the U-20s and captained the squad at the 2016 Four Nations tournament in Manchester, England. Redding has made six starts among seven appearances for Orlando City in 2017 and has contributed to two clean sheets. Redding has started 23 matches for the Lions since making his debut on Aug. 8, 2015. Redding became Orlando City’s first Homegrown signing in March 2014.
7
FIRST TO FIVE
Toronto FC put together a five-game winning streak with its 2-1 win over Columbus Wednesday, which is the first streak since Orlando City’s five-game winning streak from September to October of 2015. The Lions made a fervent push for the playoffs in their inaugural season, beginning the streak with a 3-1 win over Sporting KC and then over the Chicago Fire, NY Red Bulls, Montreal Impact and NYCFC.
WWW.ORLANDOCITYSC.COM/MEDIA/PRESSKIT/ORLANDOCITY
HEAD COACH JASON KREIS Jason Kreis has built an extensive career in MLS as both a player and a coach and is a notable figure in the history of soccer in the U.S. Kreis was the 43rd overall selection by the Dallas Burn in the inaugural 1996 MLS Draft and quickly became a cornerstone of the franchise. He scored Dallas’ first ever goal and in 1999, he became the first American-born player to win MLS MVP honors. After a nine-year stint in Dallas that ended in 2004, Kreis still holds the Dallas records for most games played (247), games started (227), minutes (20,290), goals (91) and assists (65). Kreis joined Real Salt Lake ahead of its 2005 expansion season and scored RSL’s first ever goal. He played the last three years of his career at RSL. Kreis became the first player in MLS history to score 100 goals and is sixth all-time in MLS scoring with 108 career goals. RSL hired Kreis as head coach immediately he announced his retirement from playing in May 2007. Kreis led RSL to its first playoff appearance in 2008 and its first and only MLS Cup in 2009. Under Kreis, RSL qualified for the playoffs every year from 2008-2013 and fell one penalty kick short of a second MLS Cup in 2013. After a successful period at RSL, Kreis joined 2015 expansion side NYCFC ahead of its inaugural season. The Omaha, Neb., native played four seasons at Duke University from 1991-94 and advanced to the College Cup in 1992. Kreis also scored one goal in 14 appearances for the U.S. national team from 1996-2000.
GOALKEEPER COACH TIM MULQUEEN Tim Mulqueen was the goalkeeper coach for the New York/New Jersey MetroStars from 1996 to 1999 before working with the Kansas City Wizards from 2000 to 2004. Mulqueen was part of the Wizards’ 2000 Supporters’ Shield and MLS Cup championships and their 2004 U.S. Open Cup title run. While with the MetroStars, Mulqueen coached U.S. national team goalkeeper Tim Howard, who was just beginning his outstanding career. In addition to Howard, Mulqueen has previously worked with Lions goalkeepers Joe Bendik, Earl Edwards, Jr. and Mason Stajduhar, as well as Brad Guzan, Kasey Keller, Chris Seitz, Zac MacMath, Bill Hamid, Sean Johnson, Jeff Attinella, and Tony Meola, whom he coached to the 2000 MLS MVP and Goalkeeper of the Year awards. Mulqueen was the goalkeeper coach for the United States at the 2005 and 2007 FIFA U-17 World Championships, the 2008 Summer Olympics, and the 2007 and 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cups.
ASSISTANT COACH CJ BROWN CJ Brown joins Kreis in Orlando City after working on his technical staff in NYCFC. Brown also coached under Kreis at Real Salt Lake from 2010-2013, after which he joined the Chicago Fire technical staff for the 2014 season. Brown spent his entire 13-year MLS career playing for the Fire. The physical defender played an instrumental role in the Fire’s early success, which include four U.S. Open Cup titles and the 2003 MLS Cup. Brown holds the Fire record for most appearances with 296. The Oregon native made 15 appearances for the U.S. national team from 1998 to 2003. Brown played collegiate soccer at San Jose State University from 1993-1996.
ASSISTANT COACH MILES JOSEPH Miles Joseph also joins the Club after working under Kreis at Real Salt Lake and NYCFC. Joseph was on the New York/New Jersey MetroStars inaugural roster in 1996 and scored 10 goals in 96 appearances between 1996-2000. Joseph continued his MLS career with the Columbus Crew in 2000 before joining the Dallas Burn in 2001. With Kreis, Joseph led RSL to the 2013 MLS Cup Final. Joseph also oversaw the RSL-AZ Academy. The West Springfield, Mass., native played collegiate soccer at Clemson University from 1992-1995 and made three appearances for the U.S. men’s national team from 1996-1997.
ASSISTANT COACH BOBBY MURPHY Bobby Murphy currently serves as assistant coach and technical coordinator of the Pro Academy. Murphy served as interim head coach for four games during 2016 before Orlando City hired Jason Kreis. Prior to joining Orlando City, Murphy was a director for 13 years at St. Stephens Episcopal School, one the country’s four residential academies. Murphy has a United States Soccer Federation “A” coaching license, as well as a National Youth license. He is a member of the USSF National Staff and a U.S. Youth Soccer National Instructor, giving him a vast repertoire of coaching experience. Also, Orlando City’s Pro Academy enjoyed great success under Murphy’s leadership.

#ORLvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS
Sporting Kansas City is preparing to take on Orlando City SC in the MLS regular season for just the third time in club history, having split the all-time series 1-1-0 to date with Sporting KC winning once at home and falling once on the road. Last season, Sporting KC earned a 2-1 victory over Orlando City at Children’s Mercy Park on May 15 despite falling behind early in the second half courtesy of an own goal. Despite outshooting Orlando 34-7, with a 13-0 difference in shots on target, it took late headers from Dom Dwyer and Jacob Peterson to earn Sporting Kansas City all three points. The 34 shots attempted were a regular-season club record for Sporting KC. In the only prior meeting in Orlando, the home side ran out 3-1 winners at Camping World Stadium - then the Citrus Bowl - on Sept. 13, 2015 in the midst of Orlando’s MLS expansion season. Adrian Winter gave Orlando an early lead before Krisztian Nemeth’s thunderous strike levelled proceedings in the 59th minute. Seven minute later, Bryan Rochez found the net before Winter added his second in the 72nd minute to seal the points for Orlando. The two sides have met twice in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, both in 2012 and 2013. Sporting KC emerged victorious in the Third Round encounter at Children’s Mercy Park on May 29, 2012, behind two goals from current forward Soony Saad and another from Paulo Nagamura. The opposite was the case in 2013, when Long Tan scored in just the second minute for Orlando and a stout defensive display earned the visitors the victory at Children’s Mercy Park in a Fourth Round contest.

Sporting KC Game Notes | May 13, 2017 at Orlando City SC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES
SPORTING KC TRAVELS TO PERFECT ORLANDO
DWYER HIT WITH SUSPENSION
Sporting KC has gone 5-2-3 on the season, with both of the club’s defeats comign on the road in 1-0 and 2-0 setbacks at FC Dallas on April 22 and Minnesota United FC on May 7, respectively. Sporting KC’s 1-2-2 record on the road is still good enough for a .400 win percentage, which places the side in a tie for the seventh best road record in MLS this year. Sporting KC is also tied for the MLS-lead with three road shutouts, claiming clean sheets at D.C. United (March 4), Toronto FC (March 31) and the Portland Timbers (April 15), while on the other end of the field is tied for last in MLS with just one goal scored away from home.
Dwyer was in excellent form heading into Sunday’s game, having produced a two-goal game-winning performance against the New York Red Bulls last Wednesday, that saw Dwyer notch his 13th regular-season game-winning goal for the club, tying club legend Preki atop the team’s all-time standings in that category. He also had five goals in his previous five games, his first goals of the season, catapulting him to just two behind the current scoring leaders - Erick “Cubo” Torres and former Sporting KC forward C.J. Sapong.
Sporting Kansas City remains on the road this weekend for a showdown with Orlando City SC at their brand new Orlando City Stadium. The Lions are perfect in their first five games at the ground, going 5-0-0 after wins over New York City FC, the Philadelphia Union, the New York Red Bulls, the LA Galaxy and the Colorado Rapids. Four of those victories came via a one-goal margin, with only the most recent home game - a 2-0 win over the Rapids - seeing the side win by more than one goal at home.
Sporting Kansas City enters Saturday’s contest in Orlando without forward Dom Dwyer, who is forced to miss the game with a one-game suspension after being shown his fifth yellow card of the season in the second half of the 2-0 defeat at Minnesota United FC last Sunday. Dwyer is the first player in MLS this season to be penalized with yellow card accumulation, while it’s the first time the 26-year-old will have to serve a suspension for this offense since July 10, 2016, when he sat out a 3-1 home win over New York City FC.
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.
Despite winning all five games at Orlando City Stadium so far this year, the Lions find themselves in the middle of the pack with just eight goals scored in those five games, two behind Sporting KC at Children’s Mercy Park and nine behind league-leaders the Houston Dynamo and their 17 goals at BBVA Compass Stadium. The side has been aided by a solid defense when playing at home, conceding two goals and posting all three of their shutouts at home. Only the New York Red Bulls have conceded fewer goals at home this year (1).
BENNY’S FEELING CREATIVE
Sporting Kansas City midfielder Benny Feilhaber returned from a thigh injury that kept him out for three games from March to April without missing a beat. Feilhaber is tied for second on the team with two goals and his two assists place him in a tie for first on the squad, while he is now just one regular-season assist from reaching 50 all-time - nine for the New England Revolution and 40 for Sporting KC.
A WIN, A LOSS AND A FEW CLUB RECORDS
Sporting Kansas City has faced Orlando City SC four times in club history, twice in the MLS regular season and twice in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. The side’s first MLS meeting came in September of Orlando’s expansion season in 2015, with Sporting KC traveling to Camping World Stadium to taken on the Lions on Sept. 13, 2015. The home side ran out 3-1 winners behind a brace from Adrian Winter and a goal from Bryan Rochez, while Benny Feilhaber set a Sporting KC record when he recorded his 19th assist in all competitions on Krisztian Nemeth’s second-half goal.
On top of his exploits on the scoresheet, Feilhaber is also tied for second in MLS with 26 chances created and 17 chances created from open play, despite playing two fewer games than all of his closest challengers. In fact, Feilhaber leads MLS with 3.25 chances created per game and is tied for first alongside Portland’s Diego Valeri with 2.13 chances created from open play per game.
In 2016, Sporting KC turned the tables and ran out victors in a dominant performance yet tight result at Children’s Mercy Park. Orlando took the lead early in the second half through an own goal and Sporting KC poured forward in an absolute onslaught on the Orlando goal. Goals from Dom Dwyer and Jacob Peterson turned the game on its head as Sporting KC took all three points from the contest while taking 34 shots - a MLS regular-season club record - and outshooting the Lions 13-0 in shots on target.
NOT SO CLEAN AS A WHISTLE
The two side’s met in both the 2012 and 2013 editions of the U.S. Open Cup, with Sporting KC advancing in 2012 following a 3-2 win at Children’s Mercy Park after two goals from Soony Saad and another strike from Paulo Nagamura. In 2013, Orlando returned to Kansas City and eliminated Sporting KC from the competition in the Fourth Round when Long Tan scored early and Orlando held firm for a 1-0 victory.
In 2016, Dwyer was fourth with 74 fouls suffered and fifth in fouls committed with 66. Since joining the league in 2012 when Sporting KC selected him in the SuperDraft, the 26-year-old is the fifth most fouled player in MLS (264) and has also committed the third most fouls with 230. Benny Feilhaber is just behind Dwyer in sixth in fouls suffered with 255.
BACKLINE BRILLIANCE
So far in 2017, Sporting KC has the fifth highest swing in fouls suffered to fouls committed, having suffered 25 more fouls (137) than the side has committed (112). Only Seattle Sounders FC, Minnesota United FC, the Chicago Fire and the New York Red Bulls have a larger swing in that category.
Sporting KC forward Dom Dwyer ranks first and second in fouls committed and fouls suffered across all of MLS. Dwyer committed three fouls on Sunday against Minnesota to bring his season total to 26, four ahead of Alejandro Bedoya, Diego Chara, Sebastian Blanco and Jozy Altidore who are tied for second. Additionally, Dwyer sits second in MLS with 28 fouls suffered, trailing New York’s Felipe Martins by nine.
Despite falling 2-0 to Minnesota United FC on Sunday, Sporting Kansas City continues to build upon their defensive success as the backline boasts the most impressive numbers in MLS this season, with the side conceding a league-low five goals through 10 games in 2017 and posting a league-high six shutouts. In last Sunday’s contest with Minnesota, Sporting KC conceded multiple goals for the first time this season, and also allowed goals prior to the 75th minute for the first time in 2017. Melia has posted all six shutouts - more than halfway to his total of eight for each of the 2015 and 2016 seasons - and a joint league-best 0.50 goals against average.
Melia started the season with a 270-minute shutout streak, only bettered by Red Bulls goalkeeper Luis Robles, who went 295 minutes without conceding from April 9 through April 29. Sporting KC made changes to its backline for the first time in last Sunday’s loss to Minnesota, with Kevin Ellis and Igor Juliao brought in to spell Ike Opara and Graham Zusi on the right side of the defense. Tim Melia, Matt Besler and Seth Sinovic have each played every minute so far this season.

RUNNING THE GER-SHOW
Sporting KC Designated Player Gerso continues to excite game-after-game with his outstanding dribbling ability. Gerso is currently tied for third in MLS with 43 dribbles attempted across the opening 10 games of the season, while his 22 completed dribbles ranks fifth in the league.
Orlando City SC are backstopped by goalkeeper Joe Bendik - who was named MLS Player of the Month for April - and have conceded 11 goals in their nine games to date, allowing for a goals against average of 1.22. Bendik has posted three shutouts in the club’s nine games and is 10th in MLS with a 69.6 save percentage.
Gerso has two goals for Sporting KC so far this campaign, notching the game-winner against Colorado on April 9 before adding a third goal deep into stoppage time in the 3-0 victory over Real Salt Lake on April 29.
Prior to the concession of Florian Jungwirth’s goal against San Jose on March 18, 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 leaguebest 681 minute shutout streak in 2000, and Jimmy Nielsen’s 546 minute streak in 2013.
Sporting KC is third in the league in dribbles attempted 204, while their 93 successful dribbles also place third in MLS. The San Jose Earthquakes lead the league in dribbles attempted with 215 and dribbles completed with 98. Orlando City SC are sixth from bottom with 151 dribbles attempted and are nine from last with 70 dribbles completed. Midfielder Carlos Rivas leads the way for Orlando with 26 dribbles attempted and 15 completed. 3

BESLER AND SINOVIC RENEW PARTNERSHIP
PLAYOFF STREAK
After recording six shutouts in the opening 10 games on the left side of the defense to open the 2017 MLS season, center back Matt Besler afantnd left back Seth Sinovic have now posted 44 total shutouts in just 115 games where both have started in the regular season.
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.

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 74 shutouts - 12 more than the LA Galaxy in second. Besler and Sinovic have started 115 of the 206 games since the trade, posting 44 of the club’s 74 shutouts alongside one another. Individually, Besler leads the league in shutouts since Sinovic joined the club with 60, while Sinovic is second with 53.

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. Dwyer has scored five goals in his last six games, including a brace against New York last Wednesday, to bring his regular-season total to 57, and 66 in all competitions. Dwyer sits just 14 MLS goals and 15 strikes in all competitions shy of Preki’s all-time records of 71 and 81, respectively.
VERMES VERBATIM
On rotating his squad last week against Minnesota United FC... “We had a couple of guys that had some nagging injuries, we just wanted to try to give them a rest if we could. Especially when you’re playing three games. The fact that we actually played on Wednesday we had to take that in to consideration especially also that it’s early in the season.”
The 26-year-old has amassed 55 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.
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 57 43 43 39
On playing 10 games this year and what he hopes to see in the 11th... “I think we have done a lot of good things. I’d say more good than bad. But there are always lessons to learn. The whole thing is that in this business you have to week-toweek, game-to-game, look at it as how you’re evolving. I think the evolution up to this point has been good, but there are still a lot of things not only do we have to work on, but get better at. As long as we maintain our focus in trying to do that, hopefully towards the end of the season we’ll be competing like everyone wants to be for the playoffs and those types of things.”
Goals (All Competitions) 81 66 52 46 43
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.
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. 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.

Sporting KC Game Notes | May 13, 2017 at Orlando City SC | 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 133 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 108 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 304 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.
