Head-to-Head: Real Salt Lake has a slight edge over Sporting Kansas City with an all-time record of 13-11-8, having earned 47 points against its Western Conference rival. When playing at home they have a 9-5-3 record. Stories to Watch: It’s Rivalry Week The Western Conference is full of historic rivalries, nearly all of which are based on geography, but the storied rivalry between Real Salt Lake and Sporting Kansas City was birthed organically after several on field skirmishes between players, dating back to 2011. The intense, aggressive, gritty, battle between the two sides has carried on. RSL will be out for redemption on Saturday after losing both matches to Sporting during the 2020 season Team of the Week After a two-goal game in his RSL debut Anderson Julio was named to the MLS team of the Week. In his second appearance with the first team, goalkeeper David Ochoa made one save to make the MLS Team of the Week bench where he is joined by Sporting Kansas City forward Gianluca Busio. Welcome to Our House In its 16 previous seasons Real Salt Lake has only lost one home opener match, having amassed a 6-1-9 record since joining the league in 2005. The last time RSL lost in a home opener was during the 2018 season when the team fell to LAFC. RSL has never faced Sporting Kansas City in a home opener. Last year’s home opener saw a 1-1 draw against the New York Red Bulls thanks to a goal from Damir Kreilach at the death to tie it up.

REAL SALT LAKE 2021 GAME NOTES

ALL-TIME VS OPPONENT

LAST MATCH RECAP Real Salt Lake (1-0-0, 3 points) outlasted Minnesota United in the first match of the 2021 season on Saturday, winning 2-1 for the club’s first-ever win at Allianz Field. Anderson Julio scored two first-half goals, both assisted by Rubio Rubin as the newcomers came up big in their RSL debuts. Goalkeeper David Ochoa made one save to preserve his first MLS victory. RSL was outshot 12-5 in the first half, but held Minnesota without a shot on goal. And while Minnesota held majority of the possession, Real Salt Lake found success in the counter attack. In the 31st minute, a quick-strike counter gave RSL the 1-0 advantage when Julio scored his first of the night. He doubled the lead in the 41st minute on a ball across the middle from Rubin, who pounced on a misplayed ball from the Minnesota defense to open the attack and RSL went into halftime toting a 2-0 lead.

He remained with the Academy until being promoted to Head Coach of Real Monarchs SLC in the club’s inaugural season in the USL in 2015. After two seasons in that post, he was again promoted to Real Salt Lake’s coaching staff as an assistant coach, where he has played an integral role in continued youth development at the MLS level and in implementing tactical approaches that have helped RSL improve in the standings in each of his three years on staff. In August, he took the helm as Interim Head Coach, with RSL going 5-4-1 in the final 10 matches in that role after posting a 2-0-1 record in his three matches as acting head coach prior to being named in the interim role. A native of Las Cruces, New Mexico, Juarez played 10 seasons in the USL for the El Paso Patriots and Minnesota Thunder before retiring in 2007. Throughout his playing career, he coached at the youth levels and continued in that capacity upon his retirement. HOMEGROWN LEADERS Real Salt Lake has led Major League Soccer in minutes played by Academy products in each of the last three seasons and reached the Western Conference Semifinals in 2018 and 2019, totaling nearly 30,000 minutes across those three seasons. With Real Monarchs reaching the USL Championship Final in 2019 and the USL Regular Season Shield in 2017, RSL’s youth development structure has shown an ability to develop young players coming through the RSL Academy as well as those joining from other organizations.

#RSLvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City returns to action this weekend when the team heads west to take on rivals Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, Utah on Saturday afternoon. Sporting KC went 2-0-0 against RSL in 2020, claiming a pair of comfortable 2-0 victories. The two sides first met in the third group stage of the MLS is Back Tournament on July 22. Johnny Russell scored within the opening minute before Gerso made the points safe late in the contest. Sporting headed to Rio Tinto Stadium on Decision Day on Nov. 8, 2020 and emerged as 2-0 winners in the midst of a blizzard with Khiry Shelton and Erik Hurtado scoring either side of the halftime interval. That was a flip in fortunes for Sporting KC as in 2019, Sporting went 0-2-0 against RSL, first falling to a disappointing 2-0 defeat at Rio Tinto Stadium on June 29 as Sam Johnson scored a first-half brace. In the return fixture at Children’s Mercy Park on Aug. 10, Sporting took the lead through a terrific free kick from Johnny Russell, only for Corey Baird to score either side of halftime and clinch a 2-1 road victory for RSL. Sporting has won just three of their last 16 regular-season games against RSL and are 11-13-8 in the all-time regular-season series and 14-14-10 in all competitions. However, SKC also has a history of winning when it matters most against Salt Lake, most notably beating RSL in the 2013 MLS Cup Final in a penalty shootout and defeating the Utah side on their way to winning the 2015 U.S. Open Cup. Sporting also beat RSL in the only other postseason encounter the two sides have shared in 2018, while also knocking them out of the U.S. Open Cup that same year. The only knockout match that Real Salt Lake has won over Sporting throughout the club’s history was in the 2007 U.S. Open Cup Round of 16. #RSLvSKC: Recent Meetings (RSL leads 13-11-8 in regular season) Date

Sporting KC Game Notes | May 1, 2021 at Real Salt Lake | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes UNBEATEN START TO THE CAMPAIGN

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

BUSIO SHINES IN HOME OPENER

Sporting Kansas City hits the road again this weekend to take on longtime rivals Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Sporting KC are unbeaten through the opening two weeks of the 2021 MLS season, going 1-0-1 after defeating the New York Red Bulls on the road on April 17 and playing to a 1-1 draw with Orlando City SC on April 23 in the club’s home opener.

Sporting Kansas City Academy product Gianluca Busio continued to earn plaudits and acclaim following another impressive performance in the club’s home opener last Friday night against Orlando City SC. Playing in an unfamiliar role as the team’s No. 9 for the second straight game, Busio fired home a sharp and clever finish late in the first half to give his side the lead with his first goal of the 2021 campaign.

Sporting KC will be taking on a Real Salt Lake side that was idle during the opening week of the 2021 MLS season but came out of the gates flying last Saturday, earning a 2-1 victory on the road against Minnesota United FC on the back of a brace from debutant Anderson Julio.

The goal came in Busio’s 50th MLS regular-season appearance for Sporting KC, becoming only the seventh player in MLS history to reach 50 regular season appearances before his 19th birthday. Among the seven who have done so, he is one of five who have recorded at least six goals and five assists in those first 50 matches.

Sporting has started each of their games in 2021 with Designated Players Alan Pulido and Johnny Russell on the bench as the pair work their way back from injuries sustained in preseason. Both players have appeared off the bench in the second half of each game, but Sporting have gotten by through the production of Daniel Salloi (1 goal, 1 assist), Gianluca Busio (1 goal) and Gadi Kinda (1 goal) through the opening two weeks of the campaign.

Goalscoring prowess is not the only attribute that Busio offers when in the team. Taking a deeper dive into the numbers, Busio has taken part in 38 duels through the first two weeks of the 2021 MLS campaign. Since the dawn of the Opta era in 2010, that’s the second-most duels by a Sporting player after Week 2 of the regular season. Only Felipe Gutierrez in 2018 had more duels in the opening two weeks. Busio’s role within the Sporting KC team has grown year-on-year, with the 18-year-old now one of the first names on the teamsheet when Peter Vermes decides his starting XI each week. In all competitions, Busio now has seven goals and six assists in 59 appearances for the club.

The 26th season of Major League Soccer has gotten off to a typically unpredictable start, with only the LA Galaxy laying claim to a 100 percent record after two games. Sporting KC and Real Salt Lake are two of 12 teams that remain unbeaten thus far in the season, while only two teams (FC Cincinnati and the New York Red Bulls) have lost each of their opening fixtures.

PULSKAMP & OCHOA SET TO MAKE HISTORY

When Sporting Kansas City and Real Salt Lake face off in the early afternoon on Saturday at Rio Tinto Stadium, MLS history could be made by the men between the pipes for each side.

READY FOR RIVALS RSL

Sporting KC are set to take on their first Western Conference foe this weekend when the team travels to Sandy, Utah to take on Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Sporting opened the season with a 1-0-1 record while facing off against Eastern Conference sides the New York Red Bulls and Orlando City SC. Sporting will play 31 of their final 32 games against teams from the West, with their final clash against the East coming against the Chicago Fire at Children’s Mercy Park on Sept. 11.

If Sporting KC goalkeeper John Pulskamp and Real Salt Lake gloveman David Ochoa square off on Saturday, their combined age of 40 years and 108 days will be the youngest for two starting/participating goalkeepers in an MLS match. Pulskamp, 20, was thrust into his MLS debut when Sporting KC opened the season at the New York Red Bulls on April 17. An injury crisis saw veteran Tim Melia (chest), Kendall McIntosh (eye) and Brooks Thompson (lower back) all out for the opener, leaving the then 19-year-old Pulskamp to man the 18-yard-box for Sporting Kansas City. Through two games, Pulskamp has made five saves and posted a 1.00 goals against average.

In fact, Sporting KC’s last MLS regular-season match against a Western Conference side was against Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium to close out the 2020 campaign on Nov. 8. On that occasion, Sporting battled through a blizzard to pick up all three points following a 2-0 victory that clinched top spot in the West on the final day of the season. Khiry Shelton and Erik Hurtado scored either side of halftime as Sporting cemented their spot as the West’s top side from the 2020 regular season.

SPORTING KC WAIVES GOALKEEPER PARKER SIEGFRIED

The two sides also met at the MLS is Back Tournament last July, with Sporting emerging as comfortable 2-0 winners in an early morning contest. Johnny Russell fired Sporting into the lead inside the opening 60 seconds before Gerso Fernandes made the points safe late on with a sumptuous curling finish.

Sporting Kansas City announced on Wednesday afternoon that the club has waived goalkeeper Parker Siegfried. Siegfried, who on April 15 was loaned to Sporting KC on a semi-guaranteed contract for the 2021 MLS season, will now return to USL Championship side Louisville City FC.

While Sporting KC went 2-0-0 against RSL in 2020, the opposite was true in 2019 as RSL took the season series 2-0-0 that year. Sporting has won just three of the 16 regular-season matches against Real Salt Lake, trailing the regular-season series 11-138. However, the series remains deadlocked at 14-14-10 in all competitions, with Sporting notably beating RSL in the 2013 MLS Cup Final, the 2018 MLS Cup Playoffs and in the 2015 and 2018 U.S. Open Cup.

Siegfried was brought in during a goalkeeping injury crisis for Sporting KC, as the side started the season with three of the club’s four goalkeepers out through injury. Siegfried was on the bench for Sporting’s opener against the New York Red Bulls on April 17 before Kendall McIntosh returned to the bench against Orlando on April 23.

POSTGAME PV

SALLOI CONTINUES EARLY SEASON FORM

Thoughts on the 1-1 draw with Orlando City on April 23: “My overall thoughts on the game are that a point probably was a fair result but we should have been able to close the game out at the end there. I’m not happy with the goal we gave away. I thought in the first half they probably were a little better. In the second half, I thought that we were better. I thought that we were smarter in the game and I think it was very hard for them to break us down.”

Sporting Kansas City forward Daniel Salloi continued his terrific start to the 2021 season last Friday night in the 1-1 draw against Orlando City SC at Children’s Mercy Park, setting up Gianluca Busio’s opening goal just before halftime. Salloi picked off a loose touch by Antonio Carlos in the Orlando penalty area before cutting the ball back to Busio who stroked a wonderful finish into the bottom corner. The assist comes six days after Salloi began the season by scoring the game-winning goal against the New York Red Bulls at Red Bull Arena on April 17. Salloi has a goal and an assist through two games in 2021, already matching his total from the 2019 season before seeing his minutes drop in 2020.

On the play of Gianluca Busio: “He’s done a great job. He’s done an excellent job. The goal he scores – people aren’t going to look at this way, but from my perspective – I look at it as being an incredibly high-level goal. You could even say world-class from the perspective of the tight space that he receives it, he turns, and the quick release to hit it to the near post and overpower the keeper. It was tremendous. The play itself was really good too because we work on that pressing moment. The other piece is, when Daniel (Salloi) won the ball, he was really good to recognize that Busio was the guy furthest advanced in the field and the goal itself was, again, just tremendous.”

Salloi’s assist was his first since September 2019, when he set up Benny Feilhaber’s famous “shross” - the final goal of the Sporting icon’s illustrious career. Salloi’s goal on opening weekend was also his first since September of 2019. It was also his first game-winning goal since the 2018 regular-season finale - a 2-1 victory over LAFC at Children’s Mercy Park that clinched top spot in the West. Salloi now has seven game-winning goals for Sporting in MLS regular-season play, tied for the ninth most in club history.

On whether Busio still surprises him: “I’ve very proud of him because I love his attitude. I love the way that he goes about his business. He’s always up for a challenge. That’s what’s great about him and he can find his way. He is just a pure soccer player. That’s why he can move around the field like he does and perform the way he does. He’s just an incredible kid. He’s got a great mentality and he’s got a great soccer IQ. I’m always proud of him.”

The Hungarian youth international has 24 goals and 11 assists in all competitions for Sporting KC, trailing just Graham Zusi (32) and Johnny Russell (27) in goals scored among players on the current roster.

Sporting KC Game Notes | May 1, 2021 at Real Salt Lake | 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 13th season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2021 and is the longest-tenured active head coach in MLS. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 191 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 156 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 443 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 13 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 51 leagues in the world as denoted by the CIES Football Observatory, Vermes’ tenure at Sporting KC ranks as the eighth 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 (USL Championship) 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 fifth 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

A former MLS player, Dufty began his playing career with the New York Red Bulls in 2009, making one appearance before joining the MLS reserve goalkeeper pool. In 2010, Dufty joined USSF D2 Pro League side AC St. Louis, making 30 appearances before returning to MLS with the Chicago Fire in late 2010. He announced his retirement at the conclusion of the 2011 season. Dufty then took to coaching, first working with Florida Gulf Coast University and then the University of Illinois at Chicago. In 2015, Dufty served as goalkeeper coach for Toronto FC II in their inaugural USL season.
