SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC SPORTING PARK, Kansas City, Kan. May 8, 2013 (WEEK 11, MLS Game #91) 7:30 p.m. CT (KSMO; KONG/KOMO2) Sporting Kansas City continue their homestand against a Seattle Sounders FC on the back end of a two-game Eastern Conference swing as the two clubs meet Wednesday evening at Sporting Park. SKC snapped a two-game losing slide last weekend, rolling to a 4-0 win against Chivas USA. Sounders FC started their journey with a wild 2-2 draw at Philadelphia Union. The clubs met here a year ago in the U.S. Open Cup Final, Sporting ending Sounders FC threeyear reign with a victory in a penalty shootout to claim the Dewar Trophy for a second time.

Sounders FC have won all three MLS games in Kansas City.  The teams also met in the U.S. Open Cup Final a year ago, Sporting winning in a penalty-kick shootout after a 1-1 draw over 120 minutes in K.C., ending Sounders FC’s three-year hold on the Open Cup title.  Coaches record: Peter Vermes vs. SEA: P6 W0 L5 D1 … Sigi Schmid vs. KC: P39 W18 L15 D6 SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City put an end to their two-game losing slide in rampant fashion, rolling to a 4-0 win against a 10-man Chivas USA on Sunday afternoon at Sporting Park. Sporting are in a tie for first place in the Eastern Conference with 17 points from 10 matches. LAST MATCH  Sporting took the lead four minutes before halftime. Graham Zusi took control of a giveaway in the Chivas end, turning the ball back to Claudio Bieler just outside the penalty area. He then faked goalkeeper Dan Kennedy into a slide before slotting the ball calmly between two defenders.  Kennedy was then sent off in the 54th minute by referee Baldomero Toledo red after clipping Paulo Nagamura's back foot from behind on a breakaway in the box. Goalkeeper Patrick McLain came on for his MLS debut, and he could only watch as Bieler buried his spot kick.  Zusi then added his own strike 11 minutes later, running onto a cross from second-half substitute Josh Gardner, and one-timing the ball in the roof of the net.  Second-half substitute C.J. Sapong added the final tally three minutes from time, side-footing Mechack Jerome's cross from the right wing while standing all alone at the penalty spot.  Sporting manager Peter Vermes made four changes to the team that fell 3-2 to the Portland Timbers at Sporting Park. Mechack Jerome and Ike Opara came into the back four for Chance Myers and Matt Besler, Peterson Joseph started in midfield for Benny Feilhaber, and Jacob Peterson came in up top for C.J. Sapong.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Jimmy Nielsen - Mechack Jerome, Ike Opara, Aurelien Collin, Seth Sinovic - Oriol Rosell - Paulo Nagamura (Benny Feilhaber 76), Peterson Joseph - Jacob Peterson (Josh Gardner 58), Claudio Bieler, Graham Zusi (C.J. Sapong 67). LAST MATCH  The four goals were a season-high for Sporting and matched the single-game high in MLS this season.  “The difference is every guy on the field worked from the opening minute to the final minute,” Sporting manager Peter Vermes said. “The other is that they all won their individual duels, with and without the ball. When we do

that, we wind up dominating teams physically, technically, tactically and psychologically, and today I think we broke them. To score four was a small amount. We probably could have scored a lot more, but it's great to see us get four here at home.” For Jimmy Nielsen, it was his 38th league shutout for Sporting KC, passing icon Tony Meola for the club’s alltime lead in the category. Nielsen leads MLS with six shutouts already this season; he had 15 a year ago, one behind Meola’s all-time single-season record set in 2000. Nielsen did not have to make a single save – or even face a shot on goal. “That was probably one of the easiest [of the shutouts],” said Nielsen. “You know, there wasn't a lot to do. … They made it very easy If they continue like that, I can play until I'm 44.” Claudio Bieler moved into a tie for the lead in the MLS Golden Boot standings with six goals, following his 2goal game against Chivas. After scoring nine goals in 2012, C.J. Sapong went the first nine games this season without hitting the back of the net. Kept out of the starting lineup for the first time since the second game of the season (March 9), Sapong came off the bench to score his first to close out the rout. “Out wide you have a lot more responsibilities. You have to get back on defense and you can't press the game as much as you would like, but Zusi has three goals this season and he's playing out wide. He's not even really a player that uses his speed to get in behind players so it just depends on what you do when you're out there,” said Sapong. “You just got to do what you got to do to get it into the net.” Said Vermes: “It's part of his development. It's part of his evolution as a player. Some of it's position. Some of it's just a difference for him in what he's seeing on the field. It's all of that. … There are a lot of things that go into it. It's not just one thing. But as I've said before, he gives us a lot of qualities that help our team.” After keeping the same back four for five consecutive matches – where Sporting had three consecutive shutouts followed by two games where they allowed five goals total – Vermes made a couple of changes in the back line. “[Matt Besler] had a little bit of an issue the other day. We just felt that it wasn't important to push it for this game being that we have three games in eight days. It was best to keep him out. It's the same thing with Chance Myers,” said Vermes. “The decision is that we have three games in eight days and it's a great exercise for us with these games because we're going to start coming up on this situation quite often come summer. We have to be prepared to deal with that and the rotation of the roster.” Josh Gardner came off the bench to make his Sporting KC debut, and recorded his first point, setting up the third goal. “It's a great game for us to get opportunities for guys that are going to have an impact within this team come the next so many months. He came on and not only got an assist but he played the position very well. He can also play left back as well,” said Vermes. “These are all the positives that he's making for us as we move forward.” Kei Kamara has returned to Sporting Kansas City, following completion of his loan with Norwich City FC of the English Premier League. He scored one goal in 11 games for Norwich; he returns off an MLS season where he netted 11 times in 33 games for SKC in 2012.

SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC Seattle Sounders FC hit for multiple goals in a match for the first time this season before settling for a 2-2 draw with Philadelphia Union on Saturday afternoon at PPL Park. Sounders FC are in ninth place in the Western Conference with 6 points from 7 matches. LAST MATCH  Sounders FC opened the scoring in the 10th minute when Eddie Johnson headed in a corner from Mauro Rosales. Union goalie Zac MacMath appeared to block the initial shot but was inside the goal line when he did so, and the goal was given.  But Danny Cruz and Union struck twice within a minute. In the 50th minute, Cruz roofed a rebound into the upper corner on a rebound of a Conor Casey header that hit the post.  Then Cruz again beat Sounders goalkeeper Michael Gspurning on a rebound – this one from a long-range Jack McInerney shot that took a favorable bounce off the crossbar – to give Union the lead.  But Seattle tied the score in the 64th minute when Rosales scored his first of the season on a left-footed shot following a cross from Leo Gonzalez and through ball from Mario Martinez.  In the 85th minute, both Seattle’s Lamar Neagle and Philadelphia’s Sheanon Williams were sent off after a scuffle in the Union penalty area. Then in second-half stoppage time, Sounders FC went a man down when DeAndre Yedlin was sent off following a late tackle on Michael Farfan.  Sounders FC head coach Sigi Schmid made four changes to the team that took a 1-0 win against the Colorado Rapids at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Shalrie Joseph, Osvaldo Alonso, Steve Zakuani and Obafemi Martins were all out of the team, replaced by Servando Carrasco, Mauro Rosales, Alex Caskey and Eddie Johnson.

MLS GAME INFORMATION



SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC (4-1-3-2): Michael Gspurning - DeAndre Yedlin (sent off 91+), Djimi Traore, Jhon Kennedy Hurtado, Leo Gonzalez - Servando Carrasco - Mauro Rosales (David Estrada 83), Brad Evans (Andy Rose 74), Alex Caskey (Mario Martinez 62) - Eddie Johnson, Lamar Neagle (sent off 84). TEAM NEWS  Sounders FC left behind four key contributors who did not make the trip to Philadelphia. Obafemi Martins, Steve Zakuani and Shalrie Joseph were all slowed by injuries, while Osvaldo Alonso stayed behind for the birth of a daughter on Friday.  There will definitely be two more changes at midweek. Lamar Neagle was sent off first, and then DeAndre Yedlin – who had started the first seven league matches in his professional career – also saw red.  “It has been our story all season. Today was our 10th different lineup in 10 games and our next game will be our 11th different lineup in 11 games. Philadelphia I think has played the same team the past four games, we haven’t had that luxury,” Sounders FC head coach Sigi Schmid said. “So once we get to that level I think it will improve our play.”  “It is going to be another challenge,” Eddie Johnson said. “But at the end of the day, as a player you want to be challenged. That is what makes you a better player, that is what gives you a better understanding of the game, and we are looking forward to the challenge.”  Johnson returned to the starting lineup for the first time since March 30, missing a couple of league games with a hamstring injury. He partnered Neagle in attack, who made his third consecutive start.  “It’s just guys missing, not knowing what the guy next to him is going to do,” said Schmid. “This is the first game Eddie [Johnson] and Lamar have played together. If you play more games together, you have a better understanding of what the other person is going to do.”  Mauro Rosales netted his first goal since Sept. 2, 2012, after earlier setting up Johnson’s second goal of the season for his second assist of the campaign.  “It is good for confidence. I missed three games, and at the end of the day the good goal scorers, they have rhythm just playing game after game after game,” said Johnson. “That’s how you get your sharpness and confidence. I have been battling a hamstring injury the last couple weeks but now it’s right and I’m looking forward to getting my rhythm back.”  Servando Carrasco made his first start of the season in place of Alonso, his first league appearance since coming on late as a substitute in the opening match of the year on March 2.  “Certainly Ossie is an important player for us, so it is some big shoes to fill,” said Schmid, “But I thought Servando Carrasco played well. I thought he stepped up and had is opportunity and took his opportunity well.”  Sounders FC saw their shutout streak come to an end after 285 minutes with the early second-half goal, the third-longest shutout streak in MLS this season.  “Of course it says something about the defense and we are proud of it. During the game you should just think about your work and being prepared for the work you need to bring. In the end the minutes come in time,” said goalkeeper Michael Gspurning.

SerIeS noteS sounders FC has had great success against sporting Kansas City in league play, posting a record of 5-1-1. seattle's five wins against Kansas City are the club's second-most over any Mls side, and the lone loss came in the first matchup in 2009. Following that loss, seattle won five straight before earning a 1-1 draw in the last meeting on June 20, 2012. sounders FC twice clinched a playoff berth against Kansas City, and three games were won by stoppage time goals. Kasey Keller won save of the Year by stopping Chance Myers shot in 2010 and Patrick ianni earned Goal of the Year with his side-winding equalizer last season. Wednesday's match will be seattle's first regular-season game at sporting Park since the late 2-1 win in 2011. the team's last visit to the stadium was in last year's u.s. open Cup final when seattle lost in a penalty shootout following a 1-1 draw. six of seattle's 10 goals scored have come in the final 15 minutes, and just twice has seattle scored in the opening hour of the match.

ABout SportInG KAnSAS CIty sporting has picked up 17 points (5-3-2) through 10 games so far in 2013, currently locked in a four-way tie for first place in the eastern Conference. they are tied-third with 14 goals scored this season and tied-second with a plus-six goal differential. they also lead the league in shots (146), rank fifth in shots on goal (43), and second with 16 assists. Coach Peter Vermes' club is 3-1-1 at home this season with a 9-3 goal advantage, with the lone loss coming to Portland on april 27. sKC finished atop the eastern Conference standings in 2012 with 63 points (18-7-9), just three points short of san Jose for the supporter's shield.

S p o r t I n G n o tA B l e S new designated player Claudio bieler is tied for the leaguelead with six goals in his first Mls season, including a brace in a 4-0 win over Chivas usa on sunday. the 29-year-old argentine signed with Kansas City in December after a successful career in south america. Graham Zusi, last year's second runner-up for Mls MVP, is tied for the league-lead with four assists and recently earned Mls Player of the Week honors for scoring a goal and an assist against Chivas. striker Kei Kamara, who has 45 career Mls goals seven seasons, recently re-joined the team after a loan spell with english Premier league side norwich City. Defending Mls Goalkeeper of the Year Jimmy nielsen leads the league with six shutouts and his clean sheet sunday gave him the franchise record with 38 in his career. the 35-year-old Dane is fourth in Mls with a 0.80 goals against average.

SportInG KAnSAS CIty

in matchup with the eastern Conference regular season champs, it was a highlight-reel goal from center-back Patrick ianni that salvaged a 1-1 draw at Centurylink Field. Jacob Peterson put KC up 1-0 in the eighth minute, and just seven minutes later ianni equalized when he found a Mauro Rosales corner kick and rocketed in the back of the net with a twisting, leaping, side-winding volley from 17 yards out. it was the only goal of the season for ianni and would go on to win Mls Goal of the Year. Fredy Montero’s last-minute chance at a winner was foiled by a diving Jimmy nielsen.

since entering the league in 2009, sounders FC has had a knack for earning points away from home. on Wednesday night in Kansas City, the club will have the opportunity to extend its unbeaten streak on the road to three games, having previously beat Colorado 10 on april 20 and tied Philadelphia 2-2 on May 4. overall, sounders FC has posted the second-best road record in Mls since 2009 at 25-19-22, and had its 10-game road unbeaten streak (second-longest in league history) snapped last June in Montreal.

G o I n G S t r e A K I n G : S C o r I n G F I r S t & S tAy I n G u n B e At e n saturday's result at Philadelphia extended two streaks for seattle. Most importantly, the draw pushed the club's unbeaten run to three games (1-0-2) - the third-longest active streak in Mls. the last three-match unbeaten run lasted until october 21, 2012, when sounders FC downed FC Dallas at home. over all competitions, seattle is unbeaten in four straight, including the 1-1 draw at santos laguna in the ConCaCaF Champions league semifinals. sounders FC also extended its league-best unbeaten streak when scoring first to 34 games (26-0-8). the all-time record of 58 games, set by the new York Red bulls, was snapped earlier this season. one of seattle's streaks came to an end on saturday as Danny Cruz's 50th minute goal snapped the club's 285-minute shutout streak - the third-longest shutout streak in Mls this season. the shutout streak was also the third-longest of Michael Gspurning's Mls career, and ranks seventh all-time in club history. last year, sounders FC posted two of the league's longest shutout streaks at 376 minutes (6th) and 335 minutes (10th).

seattle skipper sigi schmid will face off against two of the league's top coaches this week in Kansas City's Peter Vermes and san Jose's Frank Yallop. Vermes, who took over as head coach of sporting during the 2009 season, has gone 50-38-32 over the past five seasons, though he is yet to beat schmid's seattle side in six attempts (0-5-1). Yallop, a two-time Mls Coach of the Year and reigning winner, is one of just three foreign coaches to earn the award. He ranks fourth all-time among active coaches with 116 wins, 57 fewer than schmid's all-time mark. With his win earlier this season, Yallop took the advantage in the head-to-head series at 12-11-4.

His last league appearance was at Real salt lake on March 30, though he played 33 minutes in an Mls Reserve league match on april 23.

newest designated player obafemi Martins brings exceptional goal-scoring experience to sounders FC. Prior to coming to seattle, the striker scored 103 goals in 316 professional appearances, including 72 in 235 league appearances in europe’s top flights. additionally, the 28-year-old has scored 18 goals in 38 appearances for the nigerian national team. before signing on March 15, Martins was the leading goal-scorer this season for spanish first division side levante with nine goals in 23 appearances across all competitions. He is one of just eight current Mls players to have scored 100 career goals in europe.

in the 70th minute of seattle’s scoreless draw against new england, midfielder osvaldo alonso became the first player in club history to play 10,000 minutes. there have been 15 other Mls players who have logged more than 10,000 minutes since 2009, led by Colorado Rapids defender Drew Moor (11,613). the everactive alonso holds several other records for seattle. With his next appearance, alonso will tie Fredy Montero’s franchise record for games played (119).

When Mauro Rosales scores or assists, sounders FC earns points. last saturday at Philadelphia, Rosales recorded one of each in the team's come-from-behind draw, marking the first time he scored and assisted in the same game since august 27, 2011, against the Columbus Crew. it was the fourth time in his Mls career that the argentine playmaker accomplished the feat, with the previous three coming during a six-game stretch in the summer of 2011. overall, Sounders FC has gone 18-2-7 when rosales scores or assists. six of his goals and 21 of his assists have come in wins while three goals and five assists were recorded in ties.

eddie Johnson set the franchise record when he knocked in 14 goals in 2012 (sixth in Mls) en route to winning Mls Comeback Player of the Year. this season the 29-year-old has netted three goals across all competitions, including the deciding goal in the second leg of a 3-2 win over tigres uanl in the ConCaCaF Champions league Quarterfinals. His 10th minute goal in a 2-2 draw with Philadelphia on May 4 gave him 57 in his Mls career, tying him with Diego serna for 24th on the all time list. With three more goals Johnson will become the 24th player all-time to score 60 career goals in Mls.

eddie Johnson's opening goal in the 10th minute against Philadelphia marked the return of two major trends from the 2012 season. the goal was Johnson's second league goal of the year his third in all competitions - but his first scored with his head. last season, Johnson set the all-time mark with nine headed goals the most in a single season since the league began tracking how goals were scored in 2003. the early tally also marked the first time Johnson and Mauro Rosales connected for a goal this season. last year, the duo connected for a team-high six goals, equaling nearly half of Johnson's record-setting season total.

it took just two minutes for Mario Martinez to change the game on saturday as he entered as a second-half substitute and assisted on Mauro Rosales' equalizer just two minutes later. the helper was Martinez's first point in regular-season play, but the Honduran international brought much more than set-up play to saturday's match. Martinez completed 13 of his 15 passes for a teamhigh 87-percent completion rate, and averaged one touch every 1.3 minutes. He also gained possession three times and won two duels in his 28 minutes of action.

StrenGth In nuMBerS sounders FC’s identity as a possession-based team is greatly helped by having an abundance of quality midfielders. each year of its existence, coach sigi schmid has used more and more midfielders, and this year is no different. in addition to using a different midfield combination in all five games this season, seattle has played 10 different midfielders, besting 2009’s total and matching 2010’s. in 2011, 11 different midfielders saw the field for the Rave Green and last season saw the most contributors with 13. points Accumulated By Sounders FC Midfielders total team points points by Mids Mids used year 122 28 9 2009 122 48 10 2010 162 87 11 2011 56 57 13 2012 16 8 10 2013

Much of the attention recently has gone to seattle's offense, but the team's stout defensive effort of late should not go unnoticed. the club saw its 285-minute shutout streak come to an end against Philadelphia after consecutive clean sheets against new england and Colorado. the Rave Green held Colorado scorless on april 20 despite being out-shot 16-10, holding just 42.3% of possession, and surrendering 17 open-play crosses (seattle managed just 8). a week earlier, sounders FC kept new england off the board by not conceding a single shot on goal, and only allowing five total shots from the Revs. the seattle defense kept their opponents to just 10 open play crosses, won 58-percent of the duels, and held the Revs to just 270 totals passes - less than half of sounders FC (591 total passes).
