#SKCvVAN: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City looks to bounce back from Wednesday’s disappointing 1-0 defeat on the road at Houston Dynamo FC when the team plays host to Vancouver Whitecaps FC at Children’s Mercy Park on Sunday afternoon. Sporting KC faced off against Vancouver twice in 2020 - once to open the MLS regular season and once in the knockout stages of the MLS is Back Tournament in late July. Sporting’s opener saw the side defeat Vancouver on Feb. 29, 2020, claiming a 3-1 victory at BC Place. Debutants Alan Pulido and Gadi Kinda each scored either side of a Jake Nerwinski goal in the first half, before former Whitecaps striker Erik Hurtado made the points safe late with a volleyed finish off Gerso Fernandes’ cross. The world was a much different place when Sporting met the Whitecaps in the MLS is Back Round of 16 on July 26. Sporting dominated the contest from start to finish but were unable to find a breakthrough goal, with the game ending in a 0-0 draw and the two sides heading to penalty kicks to determine a winner. Tim Melia made two saves in the shootout, while Pulido, Ilie Sanchez and Gianluca Busio sunk their attempts to send Sporting through to the quarterfinals. Sporting KC has a commanding 10-3-4 lead in the all-time regular-season series against Vancouver since the Whitecaps joined MLS in 2011, while Peter Vermes’ side has gone 4-0-1 in the last five regular season meetings against Vancouver, scoring 17 goals and conceding just three. #SKCvVAN: Recent Meetings (SKC leads 10-3-4 in regular season)

Sporting KC Game Notes | May 16, 2021 vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes RIGHTING THE SHIP AT HOME

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

SPORTING CREATING A LOT, SCORING SOME

Sporting Kansas City will look to right the ship when the team returns home for a clash with Vancouver Whitecaps FC at Children’s Mercy Park on Sunday afternoon. It’s the third game in the space of eight days for Sporting, as the side recently beat Austin FC last Sunday, May 9 before falling to Houston Dynamo FC on Wednesday, May 12. Sporting and Vancouver are tied for fifth in the Western Conference standings with a 2-2-1 record apiece.

So far in the 2021 MLS season, Sporting Kansas City has had few issues creating high quality chances, though the side has not scored as many goals as the statistical output would suggest. In fact, Sporting is currently underperforming both its expected goals (xG) and expected goals against (xGA) totals by 4.3 goals. With the quality of chances created, Sporting is expected to have scored 7.90 goals this season but has scored just six, while in terms of the quality of chances allowed, Sporting should have only conceded 4.6 goals but has instead conceded seven.

In fact, Sporting and Vancouver have charted the exact same path across their first five games of the season, with both teams going W-T-L-W-L. Vancouver, currently based out of Salt Lake City and using Real Salt Lake’s Rio Tinto Stadium as the venue for their home games, recently fell to previously winless Minnesota United FC at Allianz Field on Wednesday night by a 1-0 scoreline.

Date/Opp April 17 at RBNY April 23 vs. ORL May 1 at RSL May 9 vs. ATX May 12 at HOU TOTAL xG/xGA (Actual)

Sporting will be disappointed to return home with nothing following their midweek trip to Houston, having outshot the Dynamo 16-5, enjoyed 56% of possession and created 10 chances to Houston’s four. Sporting had four shots on goal, while the Dynamo mustered a single shot on target - in the 56th minute when Maxi Urruti fired beyond Sporting goalkeeper John Pulskamp for the game’s lone goal.

xG 1.80 0.40 0.50 3.50 1.70 7.90 (6)

xGA Result 0.60 W 2-1 1.00 T 1-1 1.40 L 1-3 0.80 W 2-1 0.80 L 0-1 4.60 (7)

In fact, Sporting ranks fourth in all of MLS in expected goals, only trailing Seattle Sounders FC (9.6), the San Jose Earthquakes (9.17) and Nashville SC (8.82).

Entering Wednesday, Sporting had held opponents to one or fewer shots on goal in a regular season match on 54 occasions. Only once in those previous 54 matches had Sporting lost in regulation - on Sept. 27, 2007, when the LA Galaxy escaped with a 1-0 win over Kansas City at Arrowhead Stadium.

CHILDREN’S MERCY PARK TO HOST USMNT, GOLD CUP

On Thursday afternoon, Concacaf announced that Children’s Mercy Park will host five Group Stage matches in the 2021 Concacaf Gold Cup from July 11-18, including all three of the United States Men’s National Team matches in Group B. The stadium will host doubleheaders on July 11 and July 15, before hosting a mouthwatering U.S. vs. Canada matchup on July 18.

Sporting have outscored Vancouver 36-19 across the 17 meetings in the regular season series and have enjoyed success recently, going 4-0-1 in the last five regular season meetings against Vancouver, scoring 17 goals and conceding just three. In addition, Sporting are 5-1-2 in the eight regular season home matches against Vancouver.

The Gold Cup is the region’s flagship international tournament, featuring men’s national teams from across North America, Central America and the Caribbean. First contested in 1991 and taking place every two years, the Gold Cup crowns the confederation’s champion and the 16th edition will be played from July 2-Aug. 1 in eight U.S. markets.

WELCOMING THE WHITECAPS

Sporting Kansas City is set to close out a busy week when the side plays host to Vancouver Whitecaps FC at Children’s Mercy Park on Sunday afternoon. The match puts a bow on three games in eight days for Sporting, beating Austin at home and falling to Houston on the road over the past eight days.

The Gold Cup returns to Kansas City – a Candidate Host City for the 2026 FIFA World Cup - for a fourth time (2011, 2015, 2019, 2021) since Children’s Mercy Park opened in 2011. After serving as the site of individual doubleheaders in the three previous occasions, Kansas City will host four national teams for more than a week this summer as part of a hub-city format designed to reduce travel.

Sporting and Vancouver met twice in 2020 - though the pair of games could not have come at more contrasting times. The first match was the season opener for both clubs on Feb. 29, 2020. Sporting KC saw debutants Alan Pulido and Gadi Kinda score on their way to a handsome 3-1 victory at BC Place in front of 22,120 adoring Whitecaps fans.

MLS CELEBRATES SOCCER FOR ALL WEEK

On Monday morning, Major League Soccer announced the launch of Soccer For All week (May 10-16) to highlight the collective efforts and strategic partnerships taking place throughout the League to foster more inclusive and equitable communities.

The next meeting came five months later in a very different world, as the two teams squared off in the Round of 16 of the MLS is Back Tournament - in front of zero fans and in a bubble-tournament held in Orlando, Florida. Sporting dominated the match, outshooting the Whitecaps 36-8, but were unable to find the breakthrough as the match would be decided on penalty kicks. As usual in shootouts, Tim Melia was the hero for Sporting, saving two of Vancouver’s attempts while Alan Pulido, Ilie Sanchez and Gianluca Busio sunk their spot-kicks to send Sporting through to the next round.

First introduced by MLS in 2018 through MLS WORKS, the league’s social responsibility platform, Soccer For All signifies that everyone is welcome to MLS, regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, gender identity, disability, sexual orientation or socioeconomic status.

Sporting leads the all-time regular-season series with Vancouver 10-3-4, including a commanding 5-1-2 record at Children’s Mercy Park. Sporting has gone 4-0-1 in the past five meetings between the sides, with Vancouver’s last victory coming on Sept. 30, 2017 when the Whitecaps snapped Sporting’s historic 24-game home unbeaten run through Erik Hurtado’s second-half goal.

MLS and its clubs will conduct initiatives year-long that provide inclusive opportunities in-stadium and for members of the local community including sensory rooms, minipitch builds and youth soccer programming, equipment donations to underserved and underrepresented communities, and first-team experiences for individuals with and without intellectual and physical disabilities.

SPORTING KC TO RETURN TO FULL CAPACITY ON MAY 29

POSTGAME PV

Thoughts on the 1-0 loss to Houston: “I don’t think it was a particularly good game for either team. They finished the chance they had. They missed probably a couple. We missed a bunch, especially after they scored. We created a bunch of chances. We just didn’t finish them. I don’t think it was a particularly good game for either side.”

In accordance with updated health protocols issued by the Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas, Sporting Kansas City announced on Tuesday that home matches at Children’s Mercy Park will return to full capacity beginning May 29 when the club hosts Houston Dynamo FC. Upon returning to full capacity, Children’s Mercy Park will continue to adhere to a number of health and safety protocols, including mobile entry, cashless payments, hand sanitization dispensers throughout the stadium and increased cleaning and sanitization before, during and after matches. Mask wearing is strongly encouraged but not required under the Unified Government’s latest guidelines, and Children’s Mercy Park will offer a designated seating section where masks will be required for all ticket holders within that area.

On the team’s increased aggression in the second half: “Nothing different than what we really wanted to do from the start of the game. It was really just about moving the ball quickly. We just weren’t quick with the ball in the first half. There were some players on the field that were a little bit reckless with the ball. We lost the ball in some situations that were really, really easy giveaways that led to us losing possession and having to chase and defend. That was probably the big thing, the big difference to be honest with you. Once we felt we could possess the ball in the second half the way we did and move it the way we did, you could see the life coming back into the team. We were much more on the front foot.”

Sporting’s home match on May 29 will see the club honor frontline healthcare workers by giving 1,000 tickets to local medical professionals. The occasion will serve as the newest initiative from “A Force for Good,” a newly launched campaign in which Sporting and The Victory Project join forces with local partners to serve the community. Additionally, Sporting will join a nationwide effort led by the White House COVID-19 Response Team by offering a 30% discount to vaccinated fans for in-stadium merchandise purchases at a June home match to be determined.

On the team being shut out: “I think, as a team, we have to score goals. When we get as many high quality chances as we do, the people that get them eventually have to score. They have to score, simple as can be.”

Sporting KC Game Notes | May 16, 2021 vs. Vancouver Whitecaps 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 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 192 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 157 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 446 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.

Sporting Kansas City announced in January 2020 that the club had acquired central midfielder Gadi Kinda on a one-year loan from Israeli Premier League side Beitar Jerusalem. Sporting made the loan move permanent ahead of the 2021 season. Kinda has played over 200 matches in Israel since turning professional in 2011 at age 17. He starred as one of the Israeli Premier League’s best players during the first half of the 2019-20 season.

He became a regular starter for Ashdod during the 2013-2014 campaign, notably scoring his first top-fight goal in a 3-2 defeat of Israeli giants Maccabi Haifa in September 2013.

Born in Ethiopia and raised in Israel, Kinda joined Beitar Jerusalem in February 2019 and started 30 of 31 appearances in all competitions. Kinda spent the first seven and a half years of his professional career at FC Ashdod. He developed as a youth in his hometown club’s academy prior to landing an top-flight debut in September 2011 as a 17-year-old.

Ashdod spent the 2015-16 season in Israel’s second division, but a strong bounce-back culminated with a Liga Leumit title as Kinda earned 27 appearances and helped his team finish atop the standings.

On the international stage, Kinda has represented Israel at the U-18, U-19 and U-21 levels. Kinda has yet to earn his first cap for the Israeli Men’s National Team but was selected to the senior squad for UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying in fall 2019.

He played a leading role for the U-19s during the 2018-19 Development Academy campaign, posting a 7-2-3 record with four clean sheets while also featuring in the Generation adidas Cup.

Thompson exploded for a career-high nine saves in his 2020 debut on July 18 at Indy Eleven, including one that placed second in USL Championship Save of the Year voting. He earned his first professional clean sheet two weeks later against the same team, saving four shots in a 1-0 win to land USL Championship Team of the Week honors.

After logging two preseason appearances for the Sporting KC first team in early 2019, Thompson made his jump to the USL Championship in March of that year. At 16, he became the youngest professional signing in Sporting KC II history and claimed victory in his pro debut against Hartford Athletic on July 17, 2019, at Children’s Mercy Park.

The following season, he made 26 appearances as Nice took another step forward by placing third in Ligue 1 and booking a spot in the 2017-18 UEFA Champions League. Walter split the 2017-18 campaign between Nice and Troyes on loan, before returning to Nice in the summer of 2018.

STORYLINES

BATTLE OF TACTICIANS: Sunday's match pits two master tacticians and former colleagues in Marc Dos Santos and Peter Vermes. Dos Santos, who was a member of Vermes' staff in 2016, has molded the 'Caps into a team that will outwork any opponent, while being technical in its execution especially off set pieces this season. Traditionally known for having teams with a pressing identity, Vermes has tweaked Sporting KC's game plan this year to incorporate a trapping scheme to force turnovers. OPPOSITE OFFSEASONS: The 'Caps are reaping the benefits of continuity from past seasons as the club is off to their best fivegame start in the Dos Santos era, featuring a core that includes Canadian internationals Lucas Cavallini, Maxime Crepeau, and Russell Teibert. Meanwhile, Vermes has steadied the Sporting KC ship after seeing a number of longtime key figures depart over the winter, handing the keys over to newly-installed captain Johnny Russell, 18-year old Gianluca Busio, and marquee striker Alan Pulido. SIMILAR STARTS: The two clubs enter the game with identical 2W-2L-1D records, and have matched each other week by week, going W-D-L-W-L in the first five outings. Both are also coming off 1-0 road defeats this past Wednesday evening.

May 12 at Allianz Field: The 'Caps suffered their first road of the year to MNUFC. The winner came in the form of a Ramón Ábila header in the second half, the only goal in an open game that saw a total of 28 shots, including nine on target. Bruno Gaspar made his first MLS start, the only change Marc Dos Santos made to his XI from last Saturday's home win against CF Montreal.

MLS TEAM OF THE WEEK

Maxime Crepeau and Cristian Dajome were named to the MLS Team of the Week this past Monday for their Week 4 performance. Dajome scored both goals and Crepeau collected four saves in the 2-0 shutout win over CF Montreal.

ADNAN CALLED UP TO IRAQ MNT

Ali Adnan has been called up to the Iraq men’s national team. The camp will be held in Basra, Iraq and includes two friendly matches against Tajikistan on May 24, and Nepal on May 29. The team will travel to Bahrain, Qatar to take part in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, with matches against Group C opponents Cambodia on June 7, Hong Kong on June 11, and Iran on June 15. “Due to Ali’s unique situation and our upcoming break, we all agreed now was the right time for him to join his national team,” said Axel Schuster. “We’ve connected with the appropriate authorities and this will not impact the US visa process.”
