SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs ORLANDO CITY SC CHILDREN’S MERCY PARK, Kansas City, Kan. May 15, 2016 (WEEK 11, MLS Game #109) 2:30 p.m. CT (ESPN / ESPN Deportes) A pair of clubs looking to turn around recent runs of fortune meet in an interconference matchup when Sporting Kansas City play host to Orlando City SC on Sunday afternoon before an ESPN audience. Sporting return home after seeing their winless streak extended to seven games at midweek, falling 1-0 at the Colorado Rapids. Orlando City saw their winless stretch extended to five games last time out, reaching a 1-1 draw with the New York Red Bulls last Friday evening at Camping World Stadium. REFEREE: Ismail Elfath.

LAST YEAR [MLS]: 9/13: ORL 3, KC 1 (Winter 3, 72; Rochez 66 – Nemeth 59) This is the only league meeting between the teams this season. The teams met once in Orlando City SC’s inaugural MLS season, City claiming a 3-1 victory Sept. 13 at the Citrus Bowl. Coaches record: Peter Vermes vs. ORL: P1 W0 L1 D0 … Adrian Heath vs. KC: P1 W1 L0 D0 SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City had their winless run extended to seven games, dropping a 1-0 decision to the Colorado Rapids on Wednesday evening at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Sporting are in seventh place in the Western Conference with 14 points from 12 games. LAST MATCH Sporting went a man down in the 76th minute when Ike Opara was sent off after receiving a second yellow card from referee Jose Carlos Rivero. Just two minutes later, the Rapids hit for the eventual game-winner. Dillon Serna collected a headed clearance well out from goal, moved to his left and fired low through traffic to beat SKC goalkeeper Tim Melia just inside the right post. Sporting manager Peter Vermes made four changes to the team that fell 2-0 to the Houston Dynamo at BBVA Compass Stadium. Saad Abdul-Salaam and Ike Opara came into the back four for Chance Myers and Matt Besler, Lawrence Olum started in the midfield in place of Benny Feilhaber, and Jimmy Medranda came in out wide for Graham Zusi. SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Tim Melia - Saad Abdul-Salaam, Nuno Andre Coelho, Ike Opara (ejected 76), Seth Sinovic (Amadou Dia 59) - Lawrence Olum - Soni Mustivar, Roger Espinoza - Jimmy Medranda (Connor Hallisey 68), Dom Dwyer, Brad Davis (Jacob Peterson 76). TEAM NEWS The loss at Colorado extended Sporting’s winless run to seven matches, with five losses in that time, since a 20 win at the New York Red Bulls on April 9. It’s Sporting’s longest winless run since a club-record tying 10game winless streak March 29-June 9, 2011. “I thought that we played well right from the get-go. We had good possession of the ball. I thought we were dangerous on them,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes. “I don't think we gave anything away. They had one chance based on the foul that they called, and outside of that there was nothing else in the game. They should be elated right now to have walked away with what they got.”
MLS GAME INFORMATION
It also extended Sporting’s road winless run to five games, with four defeats in that time, since the win at the Red Bulls. SKC is winless in its last three games at Children’s Mercy Park (0-2-1). “This season is a long season; a lot can happen,” Vermes said. “I’ve seen stretches like this in this league and every team has gone through it before. We’ll find our way.” Sporting have also been shut out in back-to-back games for the first time this season, now having gone 240 minutes since scoring their last goal, the sixth-longest such streak in MLS this season. “We’re not playing bad, we’re just not finishing games,” goalkeeper Tim Melia said. “We’re doing a lot of good things. We’re not giving up a lot of opportunities, but [we're] being scored on in the ones we are.” Said striker Dom Dwyer: “I think we’ve been very unlucky. We’ve tried to change things around a bit. Our luck is going to change very soon and there’s a lot of positives to take away from this game.” Graham Zusi was out of the lineup for a second time this season, not making the trip to Colorado because of an injury. Benny Feilhaber was also out of the team for the first time since he was a halftime substitute on April 13. Feilhaber had played five consecutive complete matches. “There weren’t on the field so there’s not that much to talk about,” Vermes said. “The other guys have got to step up. I thought our guys played very well.”
ORLANDO CITY SC Orlando City SC had their winless run extended to five games but came back for a second consecutive draw, reaching a 1-1 result with the New York Red Bulls on Friday evening at Camping World Stadium. OCSC is in fifth place in the Eastern Conference with 11 points from 9 games. LAST MATCH The Red Bulls opened the scoring in the 19th minute, as Sal Zizzo sent a diagonal pass to Sacha Kljestan, who in turn passed forward to Bradley Wright-Phillips, and he made a quick angled strike past Orlando City goalkeeper Joe Bendik from inside the area. Orlando City tied the score in the 67th minute on the counterattack, as Darwin Ceren played it forward to Cyle Larin, who in turn sent a pass across the box that was turned home by Kevin Molino. The hosts went down to 10 men in the 85th minute when Cristian Higuita was shown a straight red card after a studs-up tackle brought down Kljestan. City head coach Adrian Heath made one change to the team that came back for a late 2-2 draw with the New England Revolution at Gillette Stadium. Kaka came back into the team, replacing Adrian Winter. ORLANDO CITY SC (4-2-3-1): Joseph Bendik - Rafael Ramos, David Mateos, Seb Hines, Brek Shea - Cristian Higuita (ejected 85), Darwin Ceren - Kevin Molino (Servando Carrasco 88), Kaka, Antonio Nocerino - Cyle Larin. TEAM NEWS Orlando City saw their winless run extended to five games with a second consecutive draw. City’s longest winless run in their inaugural MLS season with six games, from Aug. 5-Sept. 5. “I am actually disappointed for our players because I thought their effort warranted three points,” City head coach Adrian Heath said. “I thought we put them under a lot of pressure in the second half and [goalkeeper] Joe Bendik hardly had a save to make. It would have been a travesty if we hadn’t taken something out of the game.” City also remained undefeated at Camping World Stadium this season, now with a victory and four draws in five home starts. Kevin Molino scored for a second consecutive game, his fourth goal of the season – all having come in the last six matches, his first four goals in MLS. “I am definitely feeling confident in my game right now,” Molino said. “Game by game it is just getting better and, having been out for nine months, I just need to focus on the kind of work I’ve done in the past, and this is the result. We’re not frustrated with the draw. We’re still just nine games into the season and we just need to keep working as we are and eventually we will be on an unbeaten run.” Cyle Larin collected his second assist of the season, his first since the season opener. Larin was making a third consecutive start after being out of the first XI for two matches through injury. “Cyle [Larin] has been playing tremendously and to get four goals while getting the team assists is always a plus for a striker,” said Molino. “We really appreciate him and we hope he continues doing what he's doing and that he can keep it going throughout the rest of the season.” Said Heath: “We need to get probably the final ball has to be a bit better at times and Cyle's [Larin] had some great chances this evening and that's nothing to do with the way we played or anything else. On a different night, Cyle [Larin] could have come away with a couple goals, so we have to keep working hard like we are doing and the goals will come.” Kaká returned to the lineup after missing back-to-back matches with an injury, playing the full 90 minutes in his usual attacking midfield role.

Sporting KC record vs. Orlando City SC: 0-1-0 Home games: 0-0-0 (0 GF, 0 GA) Road games: 0-1-0 (1 GF, 3 GA) Score Result Location Date 09/13/2015 KC 1 at ORL 3 L Camping World Stadium Sporting KC (4-6-2, 14 points) and Orlando City SC (2-2-5, 11 points) square off Sunday for just the second time in MLS history and the first time at Children’s Mercy Park. The Lions won the inaugural meeting by a 3-1 scoreline at Camping World Stadium on Sept. 13, 2015, receiving a brace from Adrian Winter and a Bryan Rochez strike in the second half. The loss extended Sporting KC’s winless streak to five games as Krisztian Nemeth scored for the visitors, who would win the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup 17 days later. Winter fired Orlando City ahead in the third minute, bagging what was Orlando’s earliest goal in club history at the time. Nemeth restored parity in the 59th minute with a superb strike from the left side of the box after receiving a pass from Benny Feilhaber. Orlando City SC buried the game-winning goal in the 66th minute. Second half-substitutes Rochez and Brek Shea combined for the Honduran Designated Player’s first MLS goal. Orlando then took firm control with a third goal six minutes later. A give-and-go between Winter and Lewis Neal inside the 18-yard box unlocked the Sporting KC defense and set up Winter for the final touch.

#SKCvORL: PLAYER/COACH CONNECTIONS • After making three appearances in all competitions during his 2012 rookie season with Sporting KC, forward Dom Dwyer went on loan to then-USL side Orlando City in 2013 and scored 15 goals in 13 regular season games to set the USL’s single-season scoring record at the time. He added four goals in the 2013 USL PRO final to earn championship MVP honors as Orlando City claimed a remarkable 7-4 victory over the Charlotte Eagles. • Orlando midfielder Servando Carrasco played for Sporting KC in 2015, making nine regular season appearances before being traded to the Lions last July. • Sporting KC midfielder Paulo Nagamura (33) and Orlando midfielder Julio Baptista (34) were in the Sao Paulo FC youth academy together from 1994-2000 in their native Brazil. • Sporting KC defender Matt Besler and Orlando winger Brek Shea helped the U.S. Men’s National Team win the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup. Besler recorded his first international assist to Shea in a 3-2 friendly defeat at Chile in January 2015.
NOTEWORTHY MILESTONES • Manager Peter Vermes is one shy of his 100th MLS coaching win for Sporting KC (including playoffs). • Dom Dwyer is one shy of 50 goals for Sporting KC in all competitions. He ranks third in team history behind Davy Arnaud (52) and Preki (81). • Matt Besler is exactly 90 minutes shy of reaching 20,000 career minutes played for Sporting KC in all competitions. • Brad Davis has made 378 career MLS regular season appearances, one shy of passing Steve Ralston for second-most all-time among field players (behind Kyle Beckerman’s 387). Additionally, Davis has 40 career game-winning assists in the regular season, one shy of tying Landon Donovan and Steve Ralston for the all-time MLS lead.

Sporting KC Game Notes | May 15, 2016 vs. Orlando City SC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES LAST TIME OUT: SPORTING DROPS 1-0 DECISION AT RAPIDS DWYER ON THE BRINK OF 50 GOALS Sporting KC suffered a 1-0 road defeat to the first-place Colorado Rapids on Wednesday at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. The result gives Colorado a threepoint lead atop the MLS Supporters’ Shield standings entering the weekend and extends Sporting KC’s winless skid to seven matches. The Rapids (7-2-2, 23 points) secured their fourth successive win over Sporting KC (4-6-2, 14 points) behind Dillon Serna’s 78th-minute goal, which came just two minutes after defender Ike Opara was ejected for what referee Jose Carlos Rivero deemed to be a second bookable offense.
Sporting KC forward Dom Dwyer has 49 goals in all competitions since joining the club out of the 2012 MLS SuperDraft. By coincidence the 25-year-old English forward could bag his 50th against the team for which he played on loan in 2013. After making three appearances in all competitions during his 2012 rookie season with Sporting KC, Dwyer went on loan to then-USL side Orlando City in 2013 and scored 15 goals in 13 regular season games to set the USL’s singleseason scoring record at the time. He added four goals in the 2013 USL PRO final to earn championship MVP honors as Orlando City claimed a remarkable 7-4 victory over the Charlotte Eagles.

Sporting KC’s seven-game winless run has been all the more frustrating due to the club’s frequent control of the run of play. During the skid, Sporting KC has enjoyed more possession in every match while out-shooting and creating more chances than their opponents in six.

VERMES ON THE BRINK OF 100 MLS WINS
Sporting KC Manager Peter Vermes could win his 100th MLS match on Sunday (including playoffs). This would make him the sixth coach in MLS history to reach that milestone with a single team. Coach Bruce Arena Dominic Kinnear Steve Nicol Sigi Schmid Frank Yallop Peter Vermes
ROAD TRIP ENDS, HOME STAND BECKONS
Sporting KC has played five of its last six matches on the road, emerging from a daunting 29-day stretch with just two points in hand. Manager Peter Vermes’ men have reason to hope, however, as a three-game home stand begins Sunday at Children’s Mercy Park. After facing Orlando City SC, Sporting KC will host Real Salt Lake next Saturday and D.C. United on May 27. Those three opponents have combined to go 2-5-6 on the road in 2016 and have a combined two wins and eight losses in 10 regular season visits to Children’s Mercy Park all-time.

BESLER & ZUSI ON PRELIMINARY COPA AMERICA ROSTER
U.S. Men’s National Team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann has submitted the preliminary roster for the historic 2016 Copa America Centenario, including Sporting KC defender Matt Besler and winger Graham Zusi among the 40-man squad. The U.S. will begin training camp May 16 in Miami, with MLS players joining the team on May 23 in advance of their Copa America opener against Colombia on June 3 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
DAVIS POISED TO MAKE MORE HISTORY
Sporting KC winger Brad Davis has logged 378 career regular season appearances since joining the league in 2002. Should he appear in Sunday’s match, he will pass the retired Steve Ralston for second all-time in regular season appearances by field players. Davis currently trails Kyle Beckerman, who is still plying his trade at Real Salt Lake with 387 regular season appearances.
Besler, 29, has earned 31 caps for the U.S. since debuting in January 2013, including two starts this year. He started all four matches at the 2014 FIFA World Cup and helped lead the Yanks to the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup title. The Kansas native has earned MLS Best XI (2012-13), MLS All-Star (2011, 201315) and 2012 MLS Defender of the Year honors since being selected in the 2009 MLS SuperDraft out of the University of Notre Dame.
Against FC Dallas on April 17, Davis became the fifth player in MLS history to reach 400 MLS appearances (including playoffs). Davis is only the third field player to reach the milestone and the third active player to join the 400 club, alongside Real Salt Lake duo Nick Rimando and Kyle Beckerman. All-time MLS appearances (including playoffs) 1. Kevin Hartman 465 (416 regular season) Retired GK 2. Nick Rimando 435 (402 regular season) Active GK 3. Kyle Beckerman 418 (387 regular season) Active MID 4. Steve Ralston 412 (378 regular season) Retired MID 5. Brad Davis 405 (378 regular season) Active MID
Zusi, 29, has made 33 international appearances since 2012 with four goals and six assists, including two assists at the 2014 FIFA World Cup. He competed at the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup and last month scored for the U.S. in a World Cup qualifying win over Guatemala. Zusi has garnered MLS All-Star (2012-15), MLS Best XI (2012-13) and 2011 MLS Breakout Player of the Year accolades since joining Besler as part of Sporting KC’s 2009 MLS SuperDraft class out of the University of Maryland.
Davis has recorded 60 goals and 131 assists (including postseason) during a 15year MLS career highlighted by 2006 and 2007 MLS Cup championships, 2011 MLS Best XI honors and six MLS All-Star selections. His 122 assists in the regular season are third most in MLS history.
MUSTIVAR ON HAITI’S PRELIMINARY COPA AMERICA SQUAD
Sporting KC midfielder Soni Mustivar has been named to the Haiti Men’s National Team’s preliminary roster for the Copa America Centenario. The final 23-man roster will be announced by May 20. Haiti will face Colombia in an international friendly on May 29 before competing in Group B of the Copa America Centenario against Peru (June 4), Brazil (June 8) and Ecuador (June 12).
NUNO THRIVING IN DEFENSE
Sporting KC center back Nuno Andre Coelho has been one of the club’s best performers through 12 games of the 2016 campaign. In addition to being the team’s only field player to feature in all 1,080 minutes of action, Coelho leads MLS in minutes played and successful passes (574) while ranking fifth in interceptions (41), seventh in blocked shots (9) and 12th in clearances (44). The 2016 season opener saw Coelho score on his MLS debut, firing a 30-yard attempt that skipped across the wet surface and under the mitts of Sounders keeper Stefan Frei in a 1-0 win at Seattle.
A dual citizen of Haiti and France, Mustivar has made 11 international appearances for Haiti since debuting in 2013. He has earned three caps this year, including two World Cup qualifiers and a playoff win over Trinidad and Tobago that punched Les Grenadiers’ ticket to the Copa America. Mustivar, 26, signed for Sporting KC before the 2015 season and was named the club’s Co-Defender of the Year in October. Last year he led MLS with more than six interceptions per 90 minutes played and boasted a 15-5-6 record as a starter across all competitions. Mustivar started the first four games of 2016 before missing six straight with a hamstring injury. He made his return in Saturday’s match at the Houston Dynamo.
A native of Penafiel, Portugal, Coelho has played more than 160 matches during a 12-year professional career in Europe, including seven appearances in the UEFA Champions League with Portuguese clubs SC Braga and FC Porto. He most recently played for Balikesirspor of the Turkish Super Lig during the 2014-15 season. He signed for Sporting KC in January to bring another defensive option for a back line that has lost center back Ike Opara to long-term injuries in each of the last two seasons.

Sporting KC Game Notes | May 15, 2016 vs. Orlando City SC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES (CONTINUED) ORLANDO HAS BEEN HERE BEFORE THREE TITLES IN FOUR YEARS Sunday marks the second MLS match between Sporting KC and Orlando City SC and the first-ever at Children’s Mercy Park, but the teams do share history at the stadium in recent years. The clubs squared off in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in both 2012 and 2013 when Orlando City competed in the USL. The first time around, Peter Vermes’ men beat Adrian Heath’s side 3-2 in the Round of 32 before eventually winning the 2012 U.S. Open Cup title. Paulo Nagamura struck the opening goal just before halftime, but a 55th-minute equalizer from Kevin Molino set the stage for an exciting final half-hour. Soony Saad’s quick brace put the hosts ahead 3-1, and Dennis Chin could only pull one back for the Lions in the final moments.
When Sporting KC lifted the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup last September, it became the fifth MLS club to win three major trophies in a four-year span since 2005, joining Seattle, D.C. United, LA Galaxy and Columbus Crew SC. Should Sporting KC add to its trophy haul in 2016, it would join LA as the only MLS clubs to win four titles in a five-year span since 2005. Sporting KC Seattle Sounders FC D.C. United LA Galaxy Columbus Crew SC
A year later, Orlando City exacted revenge with a 1-0 upset victory in the Round of 16. Long Tan stunned the Children’s Mercy Park crowd with a goal after just two minutes, and the Lions held their lead to the final whistle. Orlando City served as Sporting KC’s USL affiliate in 2013 and 2014, during which time Kansas City loaned players to Orlando to gain match experience.
DEFENDING THE OPEN CUP
Sporting KC enters the 2016 season as defending champions of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Peter Vermes’ side defeated the Philadelphia Union in a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw through regulation to win the 2015 final on Sept. 30, effectively securing a spot in the 2016-17 CONCACAF Champions League.
Forward Molino and defender Luke Boden are the only current Orlando City players to appear in both of the club’s U.S. Open Cup matches at Children’s Mercy Park.
The Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup has been held annually since 1914 and is open to all amateur/professional soccer teams affiliated with U.S. Soccer. The knockout-style tournament is the oldest ongoing national soccer competition in the U.S. and the world’s third-longest running open soccer tournament. This year’s winner will earn $250,000 and a berth into the 2017-18 CONCACAF Champions League.
BESLER SET TO JOIN 20,000-MINUTE CLUB
Captain Matt Besler is 90 minutes shy of reaching 20,000 minutes played in all competitions during his Sporting KC career. He would become the sixth player in Sporting KC history to reach 20,000 minutes played for the club. PLAYER 1. Kerry Zavagnin 2. Nick Garcia 3. Davy Arnaud 4. Preki 5. Jimmy Conrad 6. Matt Besler
Sporting KC has won the tournament on three occasions (2004, 2012, 2015), third-most among MLS clubs behind Seattle and Chicago who have four titles apiece. All 17 American MLS clubs will enter the 2016 Open Cup in the round of 32 in June.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE ON THE HORIZON
Courtesy of the club’s 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup championship, Sporting KC will compete in the group stage of the 2016-17 CONCACAF Champions League, set to begin in August. 2016 marks the third time in four years that Sporting KC has featured in the international competition, which involves the top clubs from North America, Central America and the Caribbean. The tournament winner will qualify as CONCACAF’s representative at the 2017 FIFA Club World Cup.
PETER THE GREAT
Last season Peter Vermes passed Bob Gansler as the winningest coach in Sporting KC history, ending 2015 with 90 regular season wins and 113 victories across all competitions. Vermes has coached 265 matches for Kansas City in all competitions with a 117-85-63 record, five games shy of tying Gansler’s 270game record.
Sporting KC joins the Portland Timbers (2015 MLS Cup winner), New York Red Bulls (2015 Supporters’ Shield winner), FC Dallas (2015 Western Conference first place finisher) and Vancouver Whitecaps FC (2015 Canadian Championship winner) as MLS representatives in the 2016-17 CONCACAF Champions League.
Vermes’ 94 regular season victories are eighth most in MLS history and fourth most among active coaches behind Sigi Schmid (226), Bruce Arena (195) and Dominic Kinnear (157). Now in his eighth MLS season, Vermes ties Bob Gansler (1999-2006) as the club’s longest-tenured manager.

Sporting KC Coach Bios | May 15, 2016 vs. 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 enters his eighth season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2016. He is tied as the team’s longest-serving manager and his 117 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 – as well as two MLS Eastern Conference regular season titles (2011, 2012). He is the second coach to lead Sporting KC to five 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 94 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 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 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. 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 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 184 MLS matches and playing more than 16,000 minutes. He was nominated on the players’ ballot for the National Soccer Hall of Fame from 2007-2012. 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.

Assistant Coach | John Pascarella Assistant Coach John Pascarella played professionally for nine seasons before beginning his coaching career in 1998 at the University of Maryland. Pascarella played club soccer with Sporting Kansas City Technical Director Peter Vermes. His playing experience took him to Peru before he returned to the United States to play in the A-League and MLS.
Fitness Coach | Mateus Manoel
Once his playing career was over, Pascarella began coaching as a member of Sasho Cirovski’s staff at Maryland. He then went on to work in Northern Virginia youth soccer circles as a high school coach and Olympic Development Program coach before becoming the Head Coach and Technical Director of the Northern Virginia Royals of the USL’s Premier Development League for two seasons.

Pascarella joined Kansas City’s technical staff in 2009 and was a goalkeeper and fitness coach until 2011, when he became an assistant.
In the summer of 2010, Manoel was an Assistant Fitness Coach for the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team during the FIFA World Cup in South Africa. He had formerly served as the Head Fitness Coach for the Mexican Men’s National Team in 2009, working with renowned coach Sven-Goran Eriksson. During 2007 and 2008, Manoel held a position with Athletes’ Performance in the Home Depot Center in Los Angeles, where he worked with professional athletes from a variety of sports, including NFL, NHL, MLB and MLS (Chivas USA and LA Galaxy). Previously, he had assisted with strength and conditioning for D.C. United from the MLS, while concurrently holding the position of Sports Performance Director with Velocity Sports Performance in Alexandria, Virginia. Manoel holds a Master’s degree in Exercise Physiology from George Washington University, where he was also responsible for the strength and conditioning needs of the Colonials Men’s Varsity Soccer Team.

MATCH PREVIEW Orlando City SC (2-2-5, 11 points) will make its first Western Conference road trip of the year on Sunday, May 15, when they take on the reigning U.S. Open Cup Champion Sporting Kansas City (4-5-2, 14 points). Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. ET. The Lions aim to continue last years’ success when visiting the West, after recording points in four out of five games, including victories over the Houston Dynamo at BBVA Compass Stadium and the 2015 MLS Cup champions Portland Timbers at Providence Park. Kansas City will look to revert their recent home results, winless in their previous three games at Children’s Mercy Park, falling against Real Salt Lake and the Colorado Rapids and drawing the LA Galaxy. Sunday’s match will feature the return of midfielder Servando Carrasco to Kansas City for the first time since joining the Lions in July of last year. After making nine appearances for Sporting in the first half of the 2015 campaign, the 27-year-old has played 20 matches in purple, notching three assists, including a heroic game-tying one in the waning seconds of the 2016 season opener against Real Salt Lake on March 6.
PREVIOUS MATCH RECAP After trailing behind in the first half, Orlando City SC (2-2-5, 11 points) salvaged a point at home against the New York Red Bulls (3-6-1, 10 points) with Kevin Molino’s team lead-tying fourth goal of the season. Canadian forward Cyle Larin earned his third career assist on the play. Red Bulls’ Bradley Wright-Phillips started the scoring in the 19th minute when he corralled Sacha Kljestan’s through ball on the right side of the box and slotted his shot past Orlando’s goalkeeper into the left side of the net. The Lions were able to tie the game in the 67th minute on a play started by Darwin Cerén. The Salvadoran launched a ball up to Larin on the right wing, who fought off two defenders as he dribbled into the box. The 2015 MLS Rookie of the Year was able to slip the ball to Molino in front of goal, who threw himself to beat Luis Robles to the ball for the tap-in equalizer. The goal was Molino’s third in four games, tying Larin for the team lead with four. Larin also earned his third career assist and second in consecutive games after feeding Carlos Rivas for the 90th-minute equalizing goal on April 30.
INJURY REPORT Pedro Ribeiro (out - back injury); Seb Hines (day-to-day)
SUSPENSIONS Adrian Heath (one game); Cristian Higuita (one game)
HEAD COACH ADRIAN HEATH Adrian Heath is widely considered one of the best managers plying his trade in the United States. At Orlando, he has fashioned an attractive, free scoring team which dominated minor league soccer for four years, with three Regular Season titles and two Championships, and a handful of impressive performances against Major League Soccer teams in the US Open Cup. This success was transitioned to the Club’s first MLS campaign in 2015, when he propelled City to have the best campaign for an expansion team since 2009, finishing finishing ahead of five other clubs and tying the highest win mark for an expansion team since 1998 with 12. Additionally, ‘The Gaffer’ led his players to perform at their maximum level, resulting in outstanding individual awards - with Cyle Larin receving the 2015 AT&T MLS Rookie of the Year award and Darwin Cerén earning the 2015 MLS Latino of the Year recognition. His USL attracted the attention of several MLS clubs but in 2013 Heath rebuffed the advances of bigger clubs committing himself to the team he has helped build. During his playing days, Heath was known for always giving 100 percent, and that’s something he demands from his own players. “Supporters want to see you play like they think they would play if they had the opportunity,” said Heath. “There’s no excuse for not leaving every last bit of energy on the field.” Heath’s playing career started with Stoke City in 1979, where he played three seasons. He appeared in 95 games, scoring 16 goals. He joined Everton in 1982, where he became the club’s top scorer in his first full season. He continued to flourish in Everton’s system, scoring in double figures in every season until 1988. After leaving Everton, Heath spent the rest of his career on various clubs around Europe. He played for Espanyol in Spain for just a year in 1989. Heath then returned to England and joined Manchester City in 1990, where he enjoyed a successful three years with the club. He appeared in 75 games with City and scored four goals. Heath played for Stoke City again for a brief stint in 1992 before joining Burnley in the latter part of the year. During his three seasons at Burnley, he appeared in 115 games and scored 29 goals. After leaving Burnley for Sheffield United in 1996, he came back to the Clarets in 1997, where he played his final season. Heath oversees not just the first team at Orlando City, but is responsible for the style and philosophy of play all the way down the Orlando City development pyramid.

ORLANDO CITY NEWS AND NOTES
VS SKC VS ORL
1
LIONS ON THE HUNT
Orlando City is making its first Western Conference road trip of the year. The Lions have played two Western teams in 2016, making a miraculous stoppage time comeback to tie Real Salt Lake on March 6 and routing defending champion Portland 4-1 on April 3. Sporting Kansas City is undefeated against the East this year, winning 1-0 over Toronto FC and 2-0 against the Red Bulls.

TALE OF TWO TEAMS
Orlando City leads the Eastern Conference with 1.78 goals per game, while Sporting has struggled to find the back of the net. Kansas City has just 11 goals in 12 games this year, and has the longest active scoreless streak in MLS at 240 minutes. Kansas City, however, has allowed just .92 goals per game – the lowest in the league.

City took revenge the following year, defeating Kansas City 0-1 in the fourth round of the Open Cup at Sporting Park to advance to the quarter-finals. Last year, City defeated Kansas 3-1 at home in their first ever MLS encounter, featuring a brace from Adrian Winter and a finish from Bryan Róchez.

TYLER TURNER - D
Height: 5’11” Weight: 163 lbs. Birthplace: Milford, Connecticut Acquired: USL PRO
DOB: 03/04/1994
The young goalkeeper is one of the most promising rising talents in the country, ranking fourth overall in the United States at his position, according to TopDrawerSoccer.com.
The calm and composed right-back impressed the coaching staff during the 2014 preseason with his ability to remain comfortable on the ball, while also showcasing his attacking prowess down the flanks.
Stajduhar’s progression to Orlando City’s first team showcases the Club’s developmental pyramid, as the young Lion was a staple figure for City’s U-16, U-18 and U-23 Academy teams over the past two seasons, resulting in a call-up to train regularly with the professional side during Orlando’s inaugural MLS campaign.
The club’s fourth MLS signing, the 2014 USL PRO season was a sharp learning curve for the former U18 U.S. Men’s National Team captain, but he acquitted himself well, making the right back position his own and winning the club’s Rookie of the Year award.
Stajduhar’s honors include being named to the U-18 USSDA Best XI team by U.S. Soccer for the 2015 campaign.
After transitioning from USL to Major League Soccer, Turner made seven appearances, five of them starts, and was named to the 2015 Chipotle MLS Homegrown Game by U.S. Men’s National Team legend, Landon Donovan.
At the national team level, Stajduhar has featured for the United States’ youth teams on a consistent basis, most recently representing the U.S. U-18 and U-20 Men’s National Teams. Stajduhar also joined the U-20 USMNT for an international tournament in Germany last year.
Turner made his MLS debut on March 28, in the 2-2 draw against the Montreal Impact on the road. Throughout the year, the young defender was also called up to the USMNT U-20 and U-23 sides in several occasions, including appearances in the prestigious U-20 competition, the Marbella Tournament.
