Sporting KC Game Notes | May 3, 2017 vs. New York Red Bulls | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #SKCvNY: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#SKCvNY: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City enters the midweek contest with the New York Red Bulls looking to build upon the 3-0 victory over Real Salt Lake on Saturday night and extend their current club-record 13-game home unbeaten streak, stretching back to June 19, 2016. Sporting KC has gone 10-0-3 since falling 1-0 to D.C. United at Children’s Mercy Park on May 27, 2016. The Red Bulls are the only side to currently boast a longer active home unbeaten streak than Sporting KC, having gone 16-0-3 in their last 19 games at Red Bull Arena. Interestingly enough, the last team to top the Red Bulls in Harrison, N.J. were Sporting KC, who claimed a 2-0 victory behind goals from Benny Feilhaber and Dom Dwyer in the only meeting between the two clubs last season on April 9, 2016. That victory snapped a five-game winless streak for Sporting KC against the New York Red Bulls, dating back to April 17, 2013 when Peter Vermes’ men earned a 1-0 victory over the Red Bulls on the road with Aurelien Collin nodding home Graham Zusi’s corner kick in the 13th minute. Sporting KC hasn’t tasted victory at home against the Red Bulls since the 2011 season, going 0-2-3 at Children’s Mercy Park since since a 2-0 victory on Oct. 15, 2011. Teal Bunbury and C.J. Sapong each tallied in that game, while only five players in the gameday 18 that day are currently with the club (Besler, Sinovic, Espinoza, Zusi, Saad).

Sporting KC Game Notes | May 3, 2017 vs. New York Red Bulls | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

HISTORY MADE AT CHILDREN’S MERCY PARK

In addition, Zusi became just the eighth player in club history to break the 15,000 minute mark in the regular season. The 30-year-old now sits on 15,046 minutes played for Sporting KC, with Matt Besler the only player on the roster to have played more regularseason minutes than him at 18,212.

With Saturday’s 3-0 victory over rivals Real Salt Lake, Sporting Kansas City set a new club record by extending the side’s home unbeaten streak to 13 games, topping the previous record of 12 set during the 2015 season when Sporting KC went unbeaten from March 8 through Aug. 15.

DWYER HITTING HIS STRIDE

Sporting KC forward Dom Dwyer opened his account for the 2017 season with three goals in his last four games - including a goal in Saturday’s rivalry showdown with Real Salt Lake. Dwyer’s three goals scored since April 9 are tied for the most in the league in that time period.

The streak began with a 2-0 victory over FC Dallas on June 19, 2016, and the side hasn’t lost a regular-season game at home since May 27, 2016 when Peter Vermes’ men fell 1-0 to D.C. United. Since that game, Sporting KC has gone 10-0-3 at home, including a 3-0-1 mark so far in 2017. Only Wednesday’s opponents the New York Red Bulls boast a longer active undefeated streak at home, having avoided defeat at Red Bull Arena in their last 19 matches at the stadium, dating back to April 9, 2016 - when Sporting KC earned a 2-0 victory behind goals from Benny Feilhaber and Dom Dwyer.

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.

RUNNING WITH THE BULLS

His goal against the Portland Timbers on April 15 also saw Dwyer notch his 12th regularseason game-winning goal for the club, and he is now just one game-winner away from joining club legend Preki atop the team’s all-time standings in that category. Dwyer only had two game-winning goals in the 2015 and 2016 seasons after tallying six in 2014, but is now halfway to matching the total from the last two years after only seven games.

Sporting Kansas City enters Wednesday’s matchup with the New York Red Bulls having won the most recent meeting between the two sides 2-0 on April 9, 2016 at Red Bull Arena. Benny Feilhaber and Dom Dwyer scored either side of halftime while Tim Melia became the first goalkeeper in club history to save a penalty, make at least six saves and post a shutout when he denied Bradley Wright-Phillips second-half spot kick.

WHISTLEBLOWERS

Wednesday’s meeting between Sporting Kansas City and the New York Red Bulls brings together the two most fouled players in Major League Soccer this season. Sporting KC forward Dom Dwyer has been fouled 27 times in eight games this year, while New York midfielder Felipe Martins has been brought down on 32 occasions in their nine games in 2017.

That was New York’s most decent home defeat, as the side embarked on a 19-game home unbeaten streak in the regular season since that game - which is the only home undefeated run longer than Sporting KC’s current 13-game streak at Children’s Mercy Park. Last season’s victory over the Red Bulls was Sporting KC’s first since 2013, having endured a five-game winless stretch where the side went 0-3-2 from Aug. 3, 2013 through March 8, 2015. The last time the two teams met at Children’s Mercy Park, the game ended in a 1-1 draw during that March 8, 2015 showdown. Ike Opara opened the scoring in the 50th minute only for Lloyd Sam to equalize a few minutes later.

Both players are also in the top eight in fouls committed this year, with Felipe tied for third in MLS with 18 fouls committed and Dwyer tied for seventh with 17 fouls. Both players were also near the leaders in fouls suffered in 2016, with Dwyer fourth with 74 and Felipe eighth with 66. Since Dwyer joined the league in 2012 when Sporting KC selected him in the SuperDraft, the 26-year-old is the fifth most fouled player in MLS (263), while Dwyer has also committed the fourth most fouls with 221.

That game extended Sporting KC’s winless run against the Red Bulls at Children’s Mercy Park to five games, having not topped New York at home since Oct. 15, 2011 when goals from Teal Bunbury and C.J. Sapong earned a 2-0 victory. Sporting KC has beaten New York three times since then, with all three occasions coming at Red Bull Arena.

So far in 2017, Sporting KC has the second highest swing in fouls suffered to fouls committed, having suffered 36 more fouls (117) than the side has committed (81). Only Seattle Sounders FC have a larger swing in that category suffering 46 more fouls (112) than those committed (66). The Red Bulls have the fourth highest swing, suffering 25 more fouls (138) and they’ve committed (113). The Red Bulls lead the league with their 138 fouls suffered, with Sporting KC second with 117.

LAUNDRY DAY

Sporting Kansas City are churning out clean sheets as the backline boasts the most impressive numbers in MLS this season, with the side conceding a league-low three goals through eight games in 2017 and posting a league-high five shutouts. The defense held firm once again on Saturday night against Real Salt Lake, with goalkeeper Tim Melia only called upon to make two saves in the contest. Melia has posted all five shutouts - more than halfway to his total for each of the 2015 and 2016 seasons - and a league-best 0.38 goals against average.

WEEKLY HONORS

On Monday afternoon, MLSSoccer.com included defender Graham Zusi and winger Gerso on the MLS Team of the Week for Week 9 after Sporting KC’s 3-0 drubbing of Real Salt Lake on Saturday night. Zusi recorded the game-winning assist by setting up Benny Feilhaber’s sumptuous strike in the 17th minute, while Gerso was a constant threat to the RSL backline with his speed and was rewarded with the third goal deep into stoppage time.

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 has made minimal changes to the side’s backline through the opening six games of the season, with Melia behind a defense of Graham Zusi, Ike Opara, Matt Besler and Seth Sinovic - all of whom have played the full 90 minutes of every game.

Earlier this season, Tim Melia (Wk. 7), Ike Opara (Wk. 6 & Wk. 7), Ilie (Wk. 7), Roger Espinoza (Wk. 6) and Benny Feilhaber (Wk. 3) were honored with inclusions in the MLS Team of the Week.

TIMES AIN’T CHANGIN’

After not using his full complement of substitutes for the opening six games of the season, Peter Vermes used all three of his available substitutes in the last two games - a 1-0 defeat to FC Dallas and a 3-0 victory over Real Salt Lake. For the second time this season, a player appearing off the bench recorded an assist as Soony Saad set up Gerso’s late tally on Saturday after Soni Mustivar had done the same on Dom Dwyer’s late goal against Colorado on April 9.

New York’s Robles is second in MLS with four shutouts, only trailing Melia in that category. Robles is tied for sixth with a 1.11 goals against average as the Red Bulls have conceded 10 goals in their nine games this season. He’s also made 28 saves - good to place him in a tie for third in MLS. 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.

So far this season, Sporting KC has made the fewest substitutions in MLS with 15 in eight games, or 1.88 per game. This points to a larger trend as Sporting KC has made the second fewest substitutions in the Opta era (2010-present) among teams to be active in each year, with only the New York Red Bulls (625) making fewer changes than Sporting KC’s 642 in that time period. Sporting KC’s record when using three substitutes in a game since 2010 is 71-58-38, while the side has posted a 24-19-23 record when making two or less changes in a match.

ZUSI CLIMBS THE CHARTS

With his assist on Benny Feilhaber’s game-winning goal on Saturday night against Real Salt Lake, Sporting KC defender Graham Zusi reached two significant milestones in his career. First, the assist was his 50th in the regular season - which solidifies his grip on second place in that category - and secondly he is now tied for first in club history with 23 game-winning assists, only matched by club legend Preki. 3

DWYER CLOSING IN ON PREKI

VERMES VERBATIM

Thoughts on match against Real Salt Lake... “Our whole objective was that we wanted to play. And we wanted to make sure that what we were good at was playing the game on the field. We didn’t want to get caught up in anything. We understand that there is a rivalry between the two teams and our whole objective was to play and try not to give everything away. In the first half I thought that, in certain aspects, we kind of gave up a few balls in the middle of the park; nothing overlyexaggerated, but we gave up a few balls which we try not to do. But what we did really well was that we compacted the field defensively and especially in our final third. We really didn’t give anything away and nothing was really ever dangerous against us. That’s a credit to the guys and the way they recognized the situation. In the second half, one of the things we wanted to do from the first to the second half was to get more compact. Especially when we broke out in the counter. I thought we did that very well, and we were very fast on the counter. We had great movement off the ball and I think it caused them a lot of problems and we finished three good goals and didn’t give up anything which was huge.”

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 scored his first three goals of the 2017 season in his last four games to bring his regular-season total to 55, and 64 in all competitions. Dwyer sits just 16 MLS goals and 17 strikes in all competitions shy of Preki’s all-time records of 71 and 81, respectively. The 26-year-old has amassed 53 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

On team’s confidence level... “Well I think why we’re confident is that I think the guys believe in the way we want to play. I think they go out and they try to play that way. I think everybody wants the ball, and at the same time, I think everybody understands that they have a responsibility on defense and so what you get from that is you get confidence. More importantly, you have a belief in what you’re doing and you have a belief in each other. It’s something that takes a long time to build with a team but it’s nice that you can sense that belief in them for sure.”

RUBIO REMAINS OUT WITH ACL INJURY

Sporting KC forward Diego Rubio suffered a torn Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) in his right knee during training on Oct. 14, 2016 and remains sidelined for the foreseeable future. Rubio recorded three goals and one assist in 20 appearances across all competitions in 2016 after joining Sporting KC on loan in March. The 23-year-old Chilean completed his permanent transfer from Spanish side Real Valladolid to Sporting KC in September.

SPORTING KC 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.

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. 4
