#SKCvVAN: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City returns home this weekend to take on Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Saturday, May 18 at Children’s Mercy Park.. Sporting KC swept the season series between the two teams in 2018, while the return fixture in 2019 at BC Place will come on July 13.

Last season, Sporting KC won the first meeting at Children’s Mercy Park on April 20 6-0, as Johnny Russell scored a hat trick, while Jimmy Medranda, Cristian Lobato and Yohan Croizet also found the net. With the score already at 3-0 late in the first half, Vancouver’s Efrain Juarez and Yordy Reyna were sent off for their involvement in an on-field brawl.

Sporting KC also won the away game in 2018, claiming a 4-1 victory at BC Place on Oct. 17. Felipe Martins had put the hosts ahead just before halftime, only for Yohan Croizet to equalize before a Daniel Salloi brace and a first-ever professional goal from Gianluca Busio sealed all three points in a surging second-half comeback.

Sporting KC has a commanding 8-3-3 lead in the all-time series against Vancouver since the Whitecaps joined MLS in 2011. That includes a 5-1-1 record at Children’s Mercy Park and a 3-2-2 lead at BC Place. Sporting KC’s win at BC Place in 2018 was their first in Vancouver since 2015.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

DEPTH TESTED DURING INJURY OUTBREAK

Sporting Kansas City continued it’s recent winless streak during last Sunday’s 1-0 setback against D.C. United at Audi Field where Sporting produced a much-improved performance but were still sent home with zero points following Paul Arriola’s 78thminute game-winner. Sporting is now winless in six MLS regular-season games and eight games across all competitions as the side deals with 10 separate injury issues and other player absences.

In recent weeks, Sporting Kansas City has been dealing with anywhere up to 10 different injures, many attributed to players that are day-in, day-out starters for the club. In their stead, almost every single player on the roster has seen time on the field as Peter Vermes looks to steady the ship heading into a three-game homestand to close out the month of May. Of the 28 players on Sporting KC’s roster, 24 have seen the field in either Concacaf Champions League or MLS play in 2019. The only four players yet to see the field are goalkeeper Eric Dick, defender Jimmy Medranda, midfielder Wan Kuzain and forward Tyler Freeman. Dick, Kuzain and Freeman have all seen time with the Swope Park Rangers this season, while Medranda is in the final stages of his comeback from knee surgery in August 2018. With 23 different player starting in MLS play, Sporting KC has had the second most starters in MLS this year, only behind the New York Red Bulls’ 26.

The Sporting KC squad was only fit enough to dress four players on the bench during the defeat at D.C. United, as goalkeeper Eric Dick was joined by outfield players Yohan Croizet, Kelyn Rowe and Gedion Zelalem. Sporting was without Matt Besler, Roger Espinoza, Gerso Fernandes, Andreu Fontas, Erik Hurtado, Jaylin Lindsey, Jimmy Medranda, Rodney Wallace, Wan Kuzain and Graham Zusi due to injury, while goalkeeper Adrian Zendejas played the night before with the Swope Park Rangers and Gianluca Busio and Tyler Freeman were playing with the U.S. Under-17 National Team in the Concacaf U-17 Championship.

Sporting Kansas City is boosted by the return of Matt Besler this week, while Jimmy Medranda is upgraded to questionable after being out since last May with a knee injury.

The good news for Sporting is that the side now closes out the month of May with three home matches. Peter Vermes’ team will take on the Vancouver Whitecaps this Saturday, before facing the Seattle Sounders on Sunday, May 26 and the LA Galaxy on May 29.

Sporting will then play all four MLS games in June on the road.

BARATH & NEMETH CALLED UP BY HUNGARY

Sporting Kansas City defender Botond Barath and forward Krisztian Nemeth have been selected to the Hungary Men’s National Team for the resumption of UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying during FIFA’s international window in June. Barath, Nemeth and the Magyars will continue their Group E qualifying campaign on June 8, visiting Azerbaijan for an 11 a.m. CT matchup at Baku Olympic Stadium in Baku. Hungary will then host Wales on June 11 at Groupama Arena in Budapest with kickoff set for 1:45 p.m. CT.

Sporting KC cruised to a 2-0-0 sweep of the Whitecaps in 2018, claiming a 6-0 victory at home on April 20 before routing the Canadians again 4-1 on the road on Oct. 17 for a combined score of 10-1. Sporting holds a commanding 8-3-3 lead in the all-time series, including a 5-1-1 mark at home. Sporting’s only MLS loss to Vancouver at home came on Sept. 30, 2017 - snapping SKC’s club-record 24-game home unbeaten streak.

Barath and Nemeth will join Hungary following Sporting’s MLS regular season match at the Houston Dynamo on June 1 and will miss the MLS bout at Toronto FC on June 7.

VANQUISHING VANCOUVER

Sporting Kansas City returns home this weekend to take on Vancouver Whitecaps FC at Children’s Mercy Park on Saturday night. Sporting KC has a dominant 8-3-3 lead against Vancouver in the all-time series, including a 2-0-0 sweep in the 2018 MLS season. Vancouver, under the stewardship of new head coach Marc Dos Santos - who coached Sporting KC’s USL Championship team the Swope Park Rangers in 2016 have steadied the ship recently, going 3-2-1 in their last six games having gone 0-4-2 in their first six matches of the season.

Before earning his first of four caps for Hungary’s senior team in October 2018, Barath represented the Magyars at the U-18, U-19 and U-21 levels from 2009-2013. Nemeth has made 35 appearances for Hungary since 2010, scoring four goals and competing at UEFA Euro 2016 in France. He also represented the Magyars in 2014 and 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying. He most recently featured for Hungary alongside Barath in a 1-0 loss to Greece last October in the UEFA Nations League.

In 2018, Sporting KC first hosted the Whitecaps at Children’s Mercy Park on April 20 cruising to a 6-0 victory. Sporting came out flying and took the lead through a Johnny Russell brace and a Jimmy Medranda wondergoal from distance before Efrain Juarez and Yordy Reyna were sent off for Vancouver following a fracas on the field. In the second half, Russell completed his hat trick before Cristian Lobato and Yohan Croizet added the finishing touches to a dominant victory.

Sporting Kansas City midfielder Gianluca Busio and forward Tyler Freeman both wrapped up their international commitments with the U.S. Under-17 National Team on Thursday night as the U.S. fell to Mexico 2-1 in the Final of the 2019 Concacaf U-17 Championship at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida.

BUSIO & FREEMAN SHINE WITH U.S. U-17s

The 16-year-old Sporting KC Academy products were two of 20 players on head coach Raphael Wicky’s roster, which saw 20 nations compete for the continental crown. The four semifinalists, the U.S., Mexico, Canada and Haiti all qualified for the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Brazil.

The return fixture came on Oct. 17, 2018 at BC Place in Vancouver, and it was the hosts that took the lead right before halftime through Felipe Martins’ low strike. However, Sporting came back with a vengeance in the second half and equalized through Croizet, before Daniel Salloi netted a brace and Gianluca Busio scored his first-ever professional goal to seal a 4-1 road win.

Busio was tied for the third most goals in the tournament with five and earned a spot on the tournament’s Best XI. Busio started all but one game, while Freeman made one start and made three further substitute appearances.

Sporting KC is 5-1-1 at home against the Vancouver Whitecaps, and even boasts a winning 3-2-2 record on the road in the all-time series. Sporting’s sweep of the 2018 series was a stark reversal from 2017, when Vancouver won both meetings in MLS play.

At the 2017 Concacaf Championship, Sporting defender Jaylin Lindsey and the U.S. lost the title game to Mexico in heartbreaking fashion, falling in penalty kicks after a 1-1 draw.

Busio and Freeman suffered a similar fate, falling to Mexico in extra time on Thursday, meaning the U.S. U-17s waiting for their first title since 2011.

BENNY’S BACK

Sporting KC announced last Wednesday that the club has acquired midfielder Benny Feilhaber in a trade with the Colorado Rapids in exchange for defender Abdul Rwatubyaye, a 2019 International Roster Slot, $50,000 in TAM, and a natural secondround pick in the 2020 MLS SuperDraft. As part of the trade, Sporting has swapped positions with Colorado in the Waiver Order. Feilhaber will serve as Sporting’s seasonending injury replacement player for Rodney Wallace. Colorado will retain the player’s 2019 salary budget charge less the $250,000 of salary budget relief afforded to Sporting Kansas City for a season-ending injury replacement player.

NEMETH HITS DOUBLE DIGITS BY END OF APRIL

Sporting Kansas City striker Krisztian Nemeth hit double digits for goals on the season during the wild 4-4 draw with the New England Revolution at Children’s Mercy Park on April 27. Nemeth struck twice against his former club to take his tally for the season up to 10 in all competitions and six in MLS, with the other four coming in Sporting’s run to the Concacaf Champions League Semifinals early in the campaign.

Nemeth’s hot start has him in contention to reach the club record for goals in a single season across all competitions. Record-holder Dom Dwyer, now with Orlando City SC, totaled 24 goals for Sporting in 2014. Nemeth is also currently fourth in the club’s all-time standings for goals-per-game in a single season with 0.60 (6 in 10 games). Nemeth needs 14 more goals across a minimum of 25 games (at least 24 in MLS, at least one in U.S. Open Cup) to tie Dwyer’s record.

Feilhaber was added to the Sporting Kansas City roster ahead of Major League Soccer’s Primary Transfer Window deadline on Tuesday night and re-made his debut in Sunday’s loss to D.C. The 34-year-old previously starred for Sporting from 2013-2017, amassing 33 goals and 56 assists in 180 appearances across all competitions. Feilhaber helped lead Sporting to the 2013 MLS Cup, Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup titles in 2015 and 2017, and five straight playoff appearances during his first stint in Kansas City.

After starring for Sporting in 2015, Nemeth made his way to Qatar and then to the New England Revolution, where he spent parts of 2017 and 2018. He sealed his return to Kansas City in a trade last August and has re-discovered his scoring touch in 2019, hitting double-digit goals before the calendar hit May - including a hat trick against the Montreal Impact at Children’s Mercy Park on March 31, which was Nemeth’s first hat trick since he was playing in Hungary as a 17-year-old in 2006.

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and raised in Irvine, California, Feilhaber has played nearly 400 matches in a 14-year professional career that includes stops in Germany, England, Denmark and MLS. In addition to logging 254 MLS appearances since 2011, the versatile midfielder represented the United States Men’s National Team 44 times between 2007-2017 and competed at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE RUN COMES TO AN END

Sporting Kansas City’s deep run in the Concacaf Champions League came to a screeching halt in early April as the side was defeated in the Semifinal stage by C.F. Monterrey by a 10-2 scoreline, falling 5-0 in the First Leg at Estadio BBVA Bancomer on April 4 and 5-2 in the Second Leg on April 11 at Children’s Mercy Park.

The 6-0 triumph over Vancouver Whitecaps FC on April 20, 2018 tied club records for largest margin of victory and most goals scored in a competitive match. Sporting KC finished the year with 65 goals in 34 regular-season matches, having scored 40 in all of 2017. The last time Sporting KC hit six goals in an MLS match was on June 20, 1999.

Sporting had seen off Mexican side Toluca in the Round of 16 by an impressive 5-0 aggregate scoreline, winning 3-0 at home and 2-0 away - marking the biggest aggregate victory of an MLS team against a Liga MX side in the tournament’s history.

2026 WORLD CUP HEADING TO NORTH AMERICA

The United Bid of Canada, Mexico, and the United States was selected to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Wednesday, June 13, 2018 by the 68th FIFA Congress in Moscow.

Kansas City is one of 23 Candidate Host Cities in the United Bid.

In the Quarterfinals, Sporting KC faced Panamanian surprise package Club Atletico Independiente and were initially in a hole, suffering a 2-1 defeat in the First Leg at Estadio Agustin Sanchez, before rebounding at home with a resounding 3-0 victory to advance to the Semifinal stage 4-2 on aggregate.

The vote, which occurred a day before the start of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, also marks the first time three nations have been selected to co-host a FIFA World Cup and the first time the FIFA World Cup will be played in North America in 32 years. The United Bid offers FIFA and its 211 Member Associations unity, certainty, and opportunity as they prepare to host the largest FIFA World Cup in history.

Gerso Fernandes and Krisztian Nemeth split the team-lead for goals in the tournament with four, while Gerso and Johnny Russell were tied for the team-lead with two assists over six matches. Sporting KC were the only MLS team to advance to the Semifinals, as Toronto FC was eliminated in the Round of 16 before Atlanta United FC, the Houston Dynamo and the New York Red Bulls were all knocked out in the Quarterfinals.

With the FIFA Congress decision to award the 2026 FIFA World Cup, to the federations of Canada, Mexico, and the United States, the three nations will jointly manage preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup until FIFA establishes their operations to manage the competition. Among other decisions, FIFA will make the final selection of host cities for the 2026 competition from the 23 candidates proposed in the United Bid.

Sporting reached the Semifinals of the Concacaf Champions League for the first time in the tournament’s current format, though the side had previously reached the Semifinals of the Concacaf Champions Cup in 2002 before falling to Monarcas Morelia of Liga MX with both current Manager Peter Vermes & assistant coach Kerry Zavagnin on the team.

VERMES ENTERS 11th SEASON

Each of the United Bid’s 23 proposed stadiums are fully built, occupied and operational, ensuring long-term use following the 2026 World Cup. The United Bid has 150 existing world-class training facilities, millions of hotel rooms, and advanced infrastructure. The United Bid is expected to generate more than $14 billion in revenue and $11 billion in profits for FIFA, which will be shared with the 211 FIFA Member Associations, helping further develop and expand the game of football across the globe.

Entering his 11th season at the helm of Sporting KC, manager Peter Vermes looks to win more hardware and guide his side to yet another postseason appearance in 2019.

Despite elimination from the Concacaf Champions League in early April, Sporting KC will still aim to win the MLS Supporters’ Shield, MLS Cup and the U.S. Open Cup in 2019.

Vermes is the longest tenured coach that is currently in charge of a team in MLS, having led Sporting KC since 2009 - one year longer than Ben Olsen has been at the helm at D.C. United. Vermes became the longest tenured coach in MLS when then LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena took the U.S. National Team job in late 2016.

PLAYOFF STREAK REACHES EIGHT SEASONS

In 2018, Sporting KC continued its impressive streak of postseason appearances, becoming just the sixth club in MLS history to make at least eight straight trips to the MLS Cup Playoffs, while Manager Peter Vermes is now just the third coach to lead the same team to eight straight playoff appearances.

With almost 10 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 fifth longest active run.

Vermes has guided Sporting KC to four titles under his watch, winning three Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups in 2012, 2015 and 2017, and the MLS Cup in 2013. His trophy haul ranks as the second highest among active MLS coaches - only trailing Toronto FC’s Greg Vanney’s five championships. On a local level, Vermes’ 11 years with SKC is the second longest tenure by a head coach in the history of major KC professional sports behind Super Bowl champion and Pro Football Hall of Famer Hank Stram, who was Chiefs head coach from 1963-1974.

RECORD-SETTING 2018

VERMES VERBATIM

Sporting Kansas City enjoyed a historic 2018 season that saw the club set new records in multiple attacking categories. Most notably, the club shattered the franchise’s all-time goalscoring record by tallying 65 goals in 34 games, eclipsing the 61 goals the then Kansas City Wizards tallied in their inaugural season in 1996.

See below for comments from Sporting KC Manager and Sporting Director Peter Vermes following the 1-0 defeat against D.C. United at Audi Field on Sunday, May 12, 2019.

On the overall performance: “I thought we did more than enough to come away with one point. Disappointed for the guys because they worked hard, they were organized. They didn’t give too much away, we created some good stuff here. I think that the no-call on the goal, even though I thought the goal was hit really well by Arriola, the no-call I think gave a hesitation to the game when everybody expected it. But, you know, when you’re in the place that we are right now, sometimes that’s the way things go and you just have to keep fighting through it.”

As well as their overall goalscoring exploits, Sporting Kansas City also set new club records in five other offensive categories: Road Goals (31), Goal Difference (+25), Assists (69), Shots (583) and Corner Kicks (206).

Peter Vermes’ side also found multiple goals in 25 of the club’s 40 matches in all competitions last season and was only shutout seven times. Sporting KC finished the regular season as the fourth highest scoring team in MLS with 65 goals, while the side scored 79 goals when including the MLS Cup Playoffs and U.S. Open Cup play.

On the upcoming home stretch: “Every game is important, only from the perspective that we have to stay within the pack.

Where the difficulty is, is that we have to keep getting players back. Because even still, the players that we have playing right now, the difficulty there is that they’re not getting a break. And they need a break.”

Sporting had 16 different goalscorers last year in MLS play - which was tied for the second highest number of goalscorers across a single squad this season. In 2018, SKC found goals from Daniel Salloi (14), Johnny Russell (10), Diego Rubio (10), Felipe

Sporting KC Game Notes | May 18, 2019 vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC | 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 is entering his 11th season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2019 and is the longest-tenured active head coach in MLS. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 170 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 regular-season standings in 2011 and 2012, as well as the Western Conference in 2018. 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 135 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 391 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 almost 10 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 fifth 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, the Swope Park Rangers (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 Figueras of the Spanish Second Division.

Goalkeeper Coach | Alec Dufty Goalkeeper coach Alec Dufty enters his third season with Sporting Kansas City having been introduced to the organization as the Swope Park Rangers 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 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 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.

MATCH STORYLINES

DOS SANTOS REUNITES WITH FORMER BOSS: Marc Dos Santos faces his old club, Sporting Kansas City, where he led their USL affiliate Swope Park Rangers to a runner-up finish in the 2016 USL Cup, while assisting SKC manager Peter Vermes.

POSTSEASON POSITIONING: The Western Conference matchup could prove to be pivotal in the playoff race, as the two clubs are among the five teams separated by three points in the table vying for the seventh postseason spot. The ‘Caps are at 12 points, one behind Real Salt Lake for the final playoff position, while SKC have 10.

OFFENSIVE IN KC: The ‘Caps will have to contain a Sporting KC side that leads MLS with 3 goals per game at home, despite being shut out in their last two outings, including a home match at Children’s Mercy Park versus Atlanta on May 5. The ‘Caps centre back duo of Doneil Henry and Érik Godoy will look to neutralize Krisztián Németh, who leads SKC with six goals. Johnny Russell, who scored a hat trick in Vancouver’s last visit to Kansas City, is another player to watch.

‘CAPS QUOTES: ON FACING SPORTING KC

Marc Dos Santos: “I know them very well. It’s never the right time to play them. They’re very strong at home. It’s very special to play there. It’s going to be a very hard game.

We need to be better offensively, that’s not a secret. I’m looking for more shots, better quality with the last pass, putting guys in better positions. I’m looking for result, and result comes through creativity, combination, execution in the final third, a little bit of everything.”

Felipe Martins: “They’re still a good team with a good mentality. They’re very good at home. We’re going there with full confidence that we’ll earn points. If we do our job the way we train and the way we know we can, we can win anywhere in this league. We’re confident in the players we have. We have many players who can score goals. As a group, we need to create opportunities for those guys.”

Jake Nerwinski: “Kansas City is always a tough place to play.

I always found it one of the hardest places to play in the league. They’re struggling with injuries right now, we should be able to take advantage of that with the form we had been in despite the loss.”
