#NYCvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City (2-6-2, 8 pts.) is back on the road this weekend, traveling to the Northeast to take on New York City FC (4-3-1, 13 pts.) at Citi Field on Saturday night. NYC currently leads the all-time series between the two sides 3-2-0, with Sporting claiming wins in the first two meetings between the sides when New York City joined the league in 2015, before NYC hit back, winning the most recent three matchups. Sporting Kansas City were the first-ever team to beat New York City FC when the two sides met at Yankee Stadium in NYC’s fourth game in club history in 2015, though NYC has hit back with wins in the last three matches in the series - including two at Yankee Stadium in 2017 and 2019. During Sporting’s last visit to New York City on July 26, 2019, NYCFC took the lead in the first half through Anton Tinnerholm before adding a second through Heber shortly after the halftime interval. Roger Espinoza was shown a straight red card in the 61st minute for a high challenge but Sporting still found a way back into the game, as Ilie Sanchez headed home in the 73rd minute. However, Sporting’s comeback bid ultimately fell short as Alexander Ring added a third for NYC just four minutes later to seal all three points for the hosts. NYCFC are the reigning MLS Cup champions having won their first title in 2021 after topping Atlanta United FC, the New England Revolution, the Philadelphia Union and the Portland Timbers for their first trophy since joining MLS as an expansion team in 2015.

Sporting KC Team Notes • Sporting have recorded back-to-back draws after going a club-record 20 straight regular season matches without a tie in the non-shootout era (since 2000). • Sporting lead MLS with 79.1 long passes per match. • Since July 2020, Sporting are 22-0-1 in the regular season when leading in the 75th minute. • Saturday will mark the first time Sporting has faced the reigning MLS Cup champion since May 5, 2019, when the team lost 3-0 at home to Atlanta United FC. • Sporting are 4-5-1 in regular season matches against the reigning MLS Cup champions since 2012.

Date

Sporting KC Player Notes • According to Second Spectrum, forward Daniel Salloi leads MLS with 31.5 attacking runs per match (attacking runs are forward runs by a player off the ball in order to receive a pass).

He ranks fifth in MLS in both shots (26) and shots inside the box (20).

Citi Field is one of five home venues New York City has hosted matches at in 2022 so far, with a sixth home venue set to be christened next week in the U.S. Open Cup.

During Sporting Kansas City’s 2-2 draw with FC Dallas at Children’s Mercy Park last Saturday, captain Johnny Russell got his name back on the scoresheet as the club saw a number of firsts for the 2022 campaign. Russell bagged his second goal of the season in the 22nd minute, comfortably converting Sporting’s first penalty kick of the season after Daniel Salloi had been brought down by Jose Martinez in the Dallas area. Russell maintained his 100 percent penalty success rate having gone six-for-six for Sporting KC in MLS regular-season and postseason action.

Having snapped a club-record 20-game draw-less run with the 0-0 stalemate against the Columbus Crew on April 23, Sporting has now drawn two games in a row following the 2-2 tie with FC Dallas at Children’s Mercy Park last Saturday. Star forwards Johnny Russell and Daniel Salloi both got back on the scoresheet with their second goals of the season, while the backline took on a new and youthful look with three of the four player’s on the team’s defense being 22-years-old or younger.

In the second half, Dallas youngster Brandon Servania subbed into the game in the 60th minute and only lasted seven minutes on the field before heading back off for an early shower. Servania received a yellow card for a hard foul on Remi Walter in the 63rd minute before sliding in late on Robert Voloder in the 67th minute with referee Nima Saghafi left with no choice but to show a second yellow card and send off the 23-yearold.

Despite a rough start to the season, Sporting still has a respectable 2-1-2 record at Children’s Mercy Park. The issues have come on the road for Peter Vermes’ side, where the team has yet to pick up a point having gone 0-5-0 to open the campaign and 0-7-0 dating back to the tail-end of the 2021 season, having last avoided defeat on the road with a dramatic 2-1 victory at Lumen Field over Seattle Sounders FC on Oct. 23, 2021. It won’t get much easier this weekend as Sporting heads to New York City where NYCFC are 4-1-0 this season.

The red card marked the first shown in a Sporting KC match this season, coming in the club’s 10th match of the campaign. That’s the deepest Sporting has gone into a season without a red card being shown since 2017, when the first red card in a KC match was shown to Roger Espinoza in the club’s 14th game of the season in a 1-0 defeat to the Colorado Rapids on May 27, 2017.

HEADING TO THE DIAMOND

Sporting Kansas City heads to the Northeast this weekend to take on reigning MLS Cup champions New York City FC at Citi Field on Saturday night. It’ll be the first match Sporting has played at Citi Field, marking the first of two new stadiums that the club will visit in 2022 along with Nashville’s GEODIS Park on June 19.

YOUNGSTERS CONTINUE TO IMPRESS ALONG BACKLINE

Sporting Kansas City youngsters Cam Duke, Logan Ndenbe and Robert Voloder continued to show well during last weekend’s 2-2 draw with FC Dallas at Children’s Mercy Park. The trio were joined by centerback Kortne Ford to form a four-man backline that had an average age of 22.25.

Sporting last faced off against New York City FC in 2019, suffering a 3-1 defeat at Yankee Stadium on July 26. Anton Tinnerholm fired NYC into the lead four minutes before halftime before Heber doubled the lead in the 54th minute. Seven minutes later, Roger Espinoza was shown a straight red card but Sporting rallied to pull a goal back through Ilie Sanchez in the 73rd minute. However, New York City made the points safe four minutes later as Alexander Ring tallied on the counter to make the final score 3-1.

Duke, 21, was thrust into the action in the 23rd minute when Graham Zusi went down with a thigh injury, and the Sporting KC Academy product enjoyed an impressive shift out of his usual position at right back, helping shackle dangerous Dallas winger Alan Velasco on numerous occasions. Duke led the team with four tackles and four interceptions on the night and won almost half of his 15 duels - the second highest number of duels on the team. The Overland Park, Kansas native capped his performance with the assist on Daniel Salloi’s game-tying goal in the 77th minute.

Sporting won the first two matches in the all-time series with New York City FC, including inflicting NYC’s first-ever loss at Yankee Stadium during their expansion season in 2015. Since those two wins, Sporting has dropped the last three against NYC - including two on the road at Yankee Stadium in 2017 and 2019 - to drop to 2-3-0 in the all-time season series.

Ndenbe, 22, continued his run of starts at left back and once again was a lockdown presence on his flank. The Belgian youth international was second on the team with two tackles and three interceptions, and also led the team with 92 touches of the ball and also added to the attack - leading the team with six crosses and second on the team with three shots.

Sporting are 4-5-1 in regular-season matches against the reigning MLS Cup champions since 2012, though the club hasn’t faced the reigning champs since 2019 when the team fell 3-0 to Atlanta United FC at Children’s Mercy Park. Sporting did not face the 2019 winners, Seattle Sounders FC, in 2020 or the 2020 champions, Columbus Crew, in 2021.

Voloder, 20, made his first start for Sporting KC on Saturday night having replaced Nicolas Isimat-Mirin in just the fifth minute of the previous match against Columbus. The German youth international produced a steady performance along the backline, leading the team with 67 passes and 61 successful passes, as well as winning four of his five duels for a team-leading clip of 80 percent duel success rate. Voloder was also second on the team with nine possessions gained.

New York City have become nomads in 2022, with the location for Saturday’s match - Citi Field - one of six home venues the team will play in during the 2022 campaign. NYC has played home matches at Banc of California Stadium (Los Angeles, Calif.), Rentschler Field (Hartford, Conn.), Yankee Stadium (Bronx, N.Y.), Red Bull Arena (Harrison, N.J.) and Citi Field (Queens, N.Y.), and is set to play their first U.S. Open Cup matchup at Belson Stadium at St. John’s University in Queens, N.Y. next Wednesday.

Manager & Sporting Director Peter Vermes...

SALLOI BURSTS BACK INTO FORM

On the play of Cam Duke at right back: “Very good, really good -- especially when he first came in. He was finding himself in really good attacking positions on that right side on the opposite side of the field, probably because he was away from me at that moment. He did a good job. He had good timing. I thought he defended really well. I think he always a surprise to other teams because of his speed and he also was really good in 1v1 defending. He was really good. His athleticism really helped the team a lot in that position.”

Sporting Kansas City forward Daniel Salloi was back to his best during last Saturday’s 2-2 draw with FC Dallas at Children’s Mercy Park. The Sporting KC Academy product won a first-half penalty - converted by Johnny Russell - before scoring his second goal of the season in the 77th minute to salvage a point for Sporting. Salloi was named to MLS Team of the Week bench for his performance against Dallas, having broken a goal-drought dating back to the opening day of the season when he volleyed home an excellent finish at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in a 3-1 loss to Atlanta United FC. On Saturday night, Salloi led the team with five shots and three shots on goal as he produced an all-action performance to keep Sporting within touching distance of the playoff spots in the Western Conference.

On Robert Voloder’s first start: “He was good. Being thrust into this like he has been, I’m not going to say it’s incredibly difficult. I’m going to say it’s a little different. It’s always nice to be able to build a guy into games but he’s been thrust into this and he’s a professional. He’s got to be able to deal with that. But I think he’s doing a good job. I think he’s learning a lot about the league on the fly so I give him a lot of credit for that.”

The 25-year-old was an MLS MVP finalist in 2021, having enjoyed his best professional season to date with 16 goals and 10 assists across 33 appearances in all competitions for the club. Salloi was named to the MLS Team of the Week on eight separate occasions in 2021.

On playing FC Dallas again in the U.S. Open Cup in 10 days: “It’s never an easy thing when you have to play a team twice like that in a short period of time. I’m sure both teams will probably make changes for that game as well just because of the small amount of time. It’s all about getting recovered, getting rested and recharged and ready for the next one. So that’s what we got to do.”

Salloi signed with Sporting KC as a Homegrown player ahead of the 2016 season and made his debut for the first team in 2017. Since then, Salloi has tallied 41 goals and 21 assists in 147 appearances across all competitions, averaging a goal contribution every 156 minutes for the club.

Sporting KC Game Notes | May 7, 2022 at New York City FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes Manager & Sporting Director | 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 14th season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2022 and is the longest-tenured active head coach in MLS. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 210 coaching victories in all competitions are the most club history. During his tenure, he has won four major trophies – the 2012, 2015 and 2017 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups and the 2013 MLS Cup championship – and finished atop the Eastern Conference regularseason standings in 2011 and 2012, as well as the Western Conference in 2018 and 2020. His three U.S. Open Cup championships are the third most in Open Cup history. He is the first coach in club history to lead Sporting KC to eight 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 174 regular-season wins top the club’s all-time chart and rank fifth 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 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 before both were overtaken by Matt Besler early in 2018. 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.

On August 4, 2018, Vermes coached his 302nd MLS regular-season game with Sporting KC, becoming the league’s all-time leader in games coached for one club. He was named the first-ever MLS Sporting Executive of the Year by his peers in 2018. Vermes has coached 488 total games during his Kansas City coaching career, most in club history.

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.

With over 14 years of service at Sporting KC, Vermes is one of the longest serving managers in world soccer. Among all 18 leagues with an average attendance of 10,000+, Vermes ranks second, only behind 2. Bundesliga side FC Heidenheim’s Frank Schmidt (Sept. 17, 2007 – present). Among the top 126 leagues in the world as denoted by the CIES Football Observatory, Vermes’ tenure at Sporting KC ranks as the seventh longest active run.

Assistant Coach | Zoran Savic 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.

Vermes oversees all soccer operations for Sporting KC, including the active roster, Sporting Kansas City II (MLS NEXT Pro) 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.

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.

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.

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.

Vermes was an integral part of a young U.S. team at the 1990 World Cup in Italy, where he nearly scored 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 Figueres of the Spanish Second Division.

Goalkeeper Coach | Alec Dufty Goalkeeper coach Alec Dufty is in his sixth season with Sporting Kansas City having been introduced to the organization as the Sporting KC II goalkeeper coach in the side’s inaugural season in 2016. In his first season working with Sporting KC’s goalkeepers, starting goalkeeper Tim Melia enjoyed a record-breaking season where he was named the 2017 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year.

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. Vermes joined Kansas City in 2000 for what would be the most successful season 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
