QUOTABLE EARTHQUAKES HEAD COACH DOMINIC KINNEAR On if the red card made a significant difference in the match: “Of course it did.” On if he thought his team had a chance to get back into the match: “We had some good chances, even with 10 men. [Chris Wondolowski] Wondo gets a chance, cleared off the line. Tommy [Thompson] has a good chance, gets blocked. We had some good looks. We kept plugging away. I’ll give the guys credit for their heart and determination. Playing with 10 men. It’s a tough place to play, even with 11.” EARTHQUAKES FORWARD CHRIS WONDOLOWSKI On if the red card was the biggest difference in the game: “Portland’s a good team. I want to credit them for the win. But yeah, any time you go down a man, especially here in Portland where it’s already a very tough place to play and the crowd is boisterous, it’s a turning point. I don’t want to say it’s the reason, but it’s a big play.” On San Jose recovering to stop a clear break away by Portland late in the second half: “That’s our attitude, that we’re going to fight until the end. Even if the odds are against us, we’re still going to sprint back. Three on one, we’re never going to give up on a play in a game. I commend our guys on the effort, but still a loss and something we need to learn from.”

IN THE COMMUNITY Earthquakes Raise $40,000 for Flood victims The San Jose Earthquakes have raised $40,000 that will be given to the Silicon Valley Community Fund to aid victims of the recent flooding in San Jose. A fundraiser organized by the Quakes Foundation received contributions of $14,830 from the general public, which was matched by the Earthquakes in full. An additional $10,000 donated by the Oakland Athletics saw the total rise to $39,660. The Quakes then contributed the final $340 to bring the grand total to $40,000. Several players also spent time at the shelters, helping unload care packages and passing out jackets and blankets to the families in need. Earthquakes Donate 250 Soccer Balls The Quakes surprised students at Hellyer Elementary School in San Jose on Monday, April 3, by unloading a dump truck full of soccer balls onto the black top. Every student from third grade to sixth grade received a ball to take home to promote healthy living and an active lifestyle.

#PANAMANIAC One of the most impactful players in Major League Soccer, Anibal Godoy controls the tempo for the Earthquakes on both sides of the ball. Possessing an aggressive defensive demeanor, a calm presence on the ball, and a wicked leftfooted shot, Godoy has become the heartbeat of the Quakes and a player other teams need to prepare for.
ANIBAL GODOY
Leadership Godoy has led San Jose to a 17-12-16 record in his starts since joining the team in August of 2015.
na-
DAvE’S SAvES Quakes goalkeeper David Bingham has had a meteoric rise to stardom over the past three years. After making just four starts in his first four professional seasons, Bingham has not only burst onto the scene as one of the best young keepers in the league, but also garnered attention and playing time from the U.S. National Team. Among the League’s Best Bingham’s name is sprinkled all over the MLS record books already in just his third season as the Quakes starter. Among all keepers in league history, he currently ranks eighth in goals against average (1.18). International Stage Bingham made his first-ever appearance for the U.S. National Team on Feb. 5, 2016, earning a 1-0 shutout victory against Canada.
Immediate Impact Since taking over as the starter in 2015, Bingham has allowed just 98 goals in 83 starts (1.19 GAA) while keeping 25 clean sheets. Formidable Fortress In 40 starts at Avaya Stadium, Bingham has allowed only 15 more total goals (32) than he has shutouts (17).
ROOKIE SUCCESS Earthquakes defender Nick Lima, 22, became the Quakes second-ever Homegrown Player upon signing with the club in January. He quickly established himself not only as a contender for MLS Rookie of the Year, but a frontrunner.
WHAT THEY’RE SAYING “Lima has made the jump to the pros look easier than most do. He has grabbed the starting right back spot with the Earthquakes and turned heads across the league as one of the most impressive rookies in the early part of the 2017 season. In his pro debut, Lima had the task of facing off against Montreal Impact star Ignacio Piatti, widely regarded as the best left winger in MLS. Lima helped shut down Piatti, who failed to register a single shot on goal or successful cross in a 1-0 Earthquakes victory ... Lima’s impressive start has already started to generate buzz about his U.S. national team future.” - Ives Galarcep, Soccer by Ives “To a man in this locker room, everyone believes in Nick. I have him on the shortlist for Rookie of the Year, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him in January camp next year.” - Earthquakes captain Chris Wondolowski “Any preseason list of the top MLS rookies in 2017 would have likely included Ian Harkes and Brooks Lennon, but Nick Lima, Julian Gressel, Alex Crognale and Marco Farfan? They are among the early standouts in the MLS rookie class of 2017” - Paul Kennedy, Soccer America “When you shut down Ignacio Piatti, that’s a good show. When it’s your first MLS match, let alone start? That’s a whole other level. San Jose Earthquakes defender Nick Lima, a four-year standout at the University of California, stepped onto the Quakes’ right flank and has left little worry about future decision-making over there for the near future.It doesn’t hurt when you’re also scoring clutch goals at the other end.” - Ben Couch, MLSSoccer.com “It’s not easy to step into MLS as a rookie defender. The league is loaded with attacking options, ranging from world-renowned veterans to up-and-coming stars. It’s a lot to ask of a young defender, a lot to grasp for a player still learning their place. Nick Lima wasn’t content to just step in. Rather, at times, the San Jose Earthquakes fullback showed he had the potential to dominate.” - Ryan Tolmich, Soccer By Ives
During his MLS debut in Week 1, Lima held Ignacio Piatti without a single shot or chance created in the Quakes’ 1-0 win, earning him a spot on the MLS Team of the Week
QUAKES CAUSING QUAKES In March of 2015, in conjunction with Avaya Stadium’s opening, the San Jose Earthquakes and the U.S Geological Survey announced that a seismograph had been installed on-site to provide better characterization of how ground motion varies from one location to another during earthquakes. The seismograph, which is used to detect small natural quakes, is sensitive enough to record ground movement from raucous crowd activity at Earthquakes home games.
After collaboration with USGS, the data from NetQuakes has finally been revealed. Below is the top-10 most seismic moments in Avaya Stadium history, measured by approximating the kinetic energy in the ground for a given 15-second period. To put it in laymen’s terms, when the Quakes score and fans go ballistic, these are the 10 moments in the stadium’s short-but-sweet existence that caused the most ground movement. 1. [0.9251] Sanna Nyassi tallies lone goal in 1-0 thriller; vs. VAN on April 11, 2015.
4. [0.6020] Anibal Godoy chips the keeper to give San Jose a 1-0 win on opening day; vs. MTL on March 4, 2017. 5. [0.5853] Anibal Godoy’s goal lifts San Jose to crucial 1-0 win; vs. SKC on Oct. 16, 2015. 6. [0.5654] Quincy Amarikwa converts ‘The Chip’ in 2-1 win; vs. POR on March 13, 2016. 7. [0.5205] Adam Jahn tallies equalizer in 1-1 draw; vs. DC on April 2, 2016. 8. [0.4978] Matias Perez Garcia scores game-winning goal; vs. RSL on Sept. 27, 2015.
2. [0.9147] Simon Dawkins’ goal lifts 9-man Quakes to 2-1 win; vs. TOR on July 16, 2016. 3. [0.8773] Chris Wondolowski scores a 90th-minute equalizer against Sounders FC; vs. SEA on April 8, 2017.
9. [0.4849] Shea Salinas scores game-winning goal in 1-0 win; vs. LA on Aug. 28, 2015. 10. [0.4810] Chris Wondolowski nets equalizer in 1-1 draw; vs. VAN on Oct. 3, 2015.

Sporting KC Game Notes | June 17, 2017 at San Jose Earthquakes | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #SJvSKC: HEAD-TO-HEAD
#SJvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS
Sporting Kansas City is back on the road this weekend to take on the San Jose Earthquakes after concluding their three-game homestand with a 2-0-1 record including Wednesday’s 4-0 demolition of Minnesota United FC in the Fourth Round of the U.S. Open Cup. Sporting KC faced the Earthquakes in their third game this year and scored their first two goals of the 2017 season in a 2-1 victory. After consecutive 0-0 draws at D.C. United and against FC Dallas in the club’s home opener, Sporting KC broke through with a long distance stunner from Benny Feilhaber in the first half before making the points safe after Soony Saad’s low shot snuck through the legs of David Bingham to make the score 2-0 late in the game. Florian Jungwirth pulled a goal back deep into stoppage time before goalkeeper Tim Melia produced a stunning stop to deny Simon Dawkins. That win extended Sporting KC’s winning streak over San Jose to three games, having claimed a pair of victories in the latter stages of the 2016 season. On Sept. 24, 2016, goals from Dom Dwyer and Kevin Ellis earned Sporting KC their first-ever win at the newly built Avaya Stadium in San Jose, before Feilhaber and Graham Zusi tallied in a 2-0 win on the final day of the regular season. The series now stands at a 24-24-7 tie with Sporting KC holding a 19-8-1 edge at home and a 5-16-6 record on the road.

Sporting KC Game Notes | June 17, 2017 at San Jose Earthquakes | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes HOMESTAND CONCLUDED
SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES Tim Melia has started every game in goal for Sporting KC this season and leads the league in both shutouts (8) and goals against average (0.69). His 0.69 goals against average sees him lead all goalkeepers in Sporting KC and MLS history in that category for a single-season at this time. He’s lowered his all-time goals against average to 1.17 this year, placing him seventh in the league all-time. Former Sporting KC goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen leads the league’s all-time standings with 0.99.
Sporting Kansas City concluded their three-game homstand on Wednesday night with a 4-0 thrashing of Minnesota United FC in the U.S. Open Cup Fourth Round at Children’s Mercy Park. The side had previously topped Minnesota 3-0 in MLS regular-season play on June 3 before playing to a frustrating 1-1 draw with the Montreal Impact on Saturday, June 10. Those two games pushed the side’s home record to 6-0-2 on the year.
GERSO TAKES SCORING LEAD
The three-game homestand was Sporting KC’s longest streak of consecutive home games to date in 2017, having previously enjoyed back-to-back games at Children’s Mercy Park from March 11-18 and April 29-May 3. Sporting KC could potentially have three more similar homestands in 2017, as the side hosts the Portland Timbers and the Philadelphia Union on July 1 and July 6 prior to a potential home match in the U.S. Open Cup Quarterfinals on Jule 11-12. The same sequence could also take place ahead of the USOC Semifinals on Aug. 8-9 that’s preceded by home games against the Chicago Fire on July 29 and Atlanta United FC on Aug. 6. Finally, the longest potential homestand could last four games should Sporting KC host the USOC Final on Sept. 19-20 either side of three regular-season home games from Sept. 16-30.
Despite arriving in Kansas City with the reputation of being an assist-first, score-second winger, Gerso has proven to be the opposite so far in 2017. With his expertly taken goal to open the scoring against the Montreal Impact on Saturday, June 10, Gerso wrestled the club scoring lead away from Dom Dwyer with his sixth goal of the campaign. Dwyer has been Sporting KC’s top scorer each of the last three seasons, talling a total of 50 goals in the regular season from 2014-2016. While Dwyer did find his sixth goal of the season and snap a four-game scoreless streak in the 4-0 victory over Minnesota United in the U.S. Open Cup Fourth Round on Wednesday, Gerso also found the net as he made his Open Cup bow with his seventh goal of the year in all competitions late in the first half.
Sporting KC now embarks on a tricky three-game road swing, starting this Saturday with a visit to Avaya Stadium to face the San Jose Earthquakes. Sporting KC - who are 1-4-3 on the road this year - won the last meeting between the two sides in San Jose by a 2-1 scoreline on Sept. 24, 2016 behind goals from Dom Dwyer and Kevin Ellis, but have historically struggled in the Bay Area, going 5-16-6 all-time against the Earthquakes on the road.
After creating 20 chances in MLS play through his first 16 games in a Sporting KC uniform, Gerso finally recorded his first assist with a cute through ball to set up Dwyer’s strike in the 73rd minute against Minnesota.
FULL CONTINGENT BACK IN CONTENTION
Following a 10-day period of missing players due to international competitions, Sporting kC returns a full contingent ahead of Saturday’s road match against the San Jose Earthquakes at Avaya Stadium. Matt Besler, Graham Zusi, Soony Saad and Tyler Pasher have all returned from their international obligations, with Besler and Zusi returning in time to start Wednesdays’ U.S. Open Cup rout against Minnesota United FC.
Following that game, Sporting KC will face another California side in the LA Galaxy at StubHub Center on Saturday, June 24 before heading south for a U.S. Open Cup Round of 16 clash with the Houston Dynamo at BBVA Compass Stadium on Wednesday, June 28. Sporting KC will have their longest road swing late this summer when they travel to face Houston (Aug. 26), New York City FC (Sept. 6) and Columbus Crew SC (Sept. 10).
BATTLE BY THE BAY
Sporting Kansas City and the San Jose Earthquakes have had a perfectly even history since the two clubs first met at Spartan Stadium on April 21, 1996. The all-time series currently stands at 24-24-7, with Sporting KC claiming the last three games against the Earthquakes.
Zusi earned his 47th and 48th caps for the U.S. National Team as he appeared as a late substitute both in a friendly against Venezuela on June 10 and in the World Cup Qualifier against Mexico on June 11. Besler was a part of the squad but returned to KC to face Minnesota United FC on June 10 and was unused in the WCQ against Trinidid & Tobago and Mexico.
After a period that saw Peter Vermes’ men go 1-4-0 against San Jose from 2013 through early 2016, Sporting KC has rebounded and claimed the last nine points in matchups with the Earthquakes. Sporting KC earned their first-ever victory at Avaya Stadium which opened in 2015 - on Sept. 24, 2016 when Dom Dwyer scored early and Kevin Ellis tallied late for a 2-1 victory. The next two contests came at home, first seeing goals from Benny Feilhaber and Graham Zusi be enough for a 2-0 victory in the regularseason finale in 2016 before earning another 2-1 win at Children’s Mercy Park on March 18, 2017.
Forward Soony Saad jetted out to Malaysia to join up with the Lebanon National Team and started in the side’s 2019 AFC Asian Cup Qualifier against Malaysia at Bukit Jalil National Stadium in Kuala Lumpur. Saad was replaced midway through the second half as his side staged a dramatic late comeback to snatch a 2-1 victory. Left back Tyler Pasher was called in to the Canadian National Team for the first time since a brief spell in camp with the side in 2015. Pasher scored in an intrasquad scrimmage on June 8 and was named amongst the substitutes in Canada’s 2-1 victory over Curacao at Stade Saputo on June 13, but did not feature.
In the most recent game, Sporting KC entered the match still awaiting the club’s first goal of the 2017 season, having drawn 0-0 with D.C. United and FC Dallas to open their campaign. In the 37th minute, Feilhaber received a pass from Zusi and looped a stunning shot over a rooted David Bingham and into the top corner to give the home side the lead. That advantage was doubled late on as Soony Saad’s low shit was redirected into his own goal by David Bingham before Florian Jungwirth knocked home a consolation in stoppage time.
Sporting KC could endure parts of July without four members of their squad as Besler and Zusi are joined by Dom Dwyer on the U.S. National Team’s provisional 40-man roster for the CONCACAF Gold Cup, while Pasher was included on Canada’s provisional 40-man roster for the tournament.
MISERLY MINNESOTA MANHANDLED
Sporting Kansas City opened up their 2017 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup campaign with a resounding destruction of Minnesota United FC at Children’s Mercy Park on Wednesday night. Despite being put under pressure in the early stages of the game, two goals late in the first half and two in the second sent Sporting KC onwards to the Round of 16 where the side will travel to face the Houston Dynamo at BBVA Compass Stadium on June 28.
Sporting KC are 5-16-6 all-time on the road against the Earthquakes and have won just one of their last 17 visits to San Jose - with that 2-1 victory on Sept. 24, 2016 snapping a 16-game road winless streak against the Californian side. Last year’s season series began in controversy as Dom Dwyer was dubiously denied a penalty kick before San Jose were awarded a spot kick of their own just moments later en route to a 1-0 win.
Ike Opara broke the deadlock in the 43rd minute when he rose highest and beat goalkeeper Patrick McLain to Graham Zusi’s corner and headed into an empty net to make the score 1-0 - his first career U.S. Open Cup goal. Moments later, Daniel Salloi struck the inside of the post with a powerful effort and fellow winger Gerso coralled the ball before firing the rebound into the back of the net.
MELIA SETS SEASON-HIGH IN SAVES
In last Saturday’s 1-1 draw with the Montreal Impact, goalkeeper Tim Melia set a new season-high in saves with six. Prior to Saturday’s clash, Melia had posted five saves on four occasions in 2017 - at D.C. United (March 4), at FC Dallas (April 22), vs. Seattle Sounders FC (May 17) and at Vancouver Whitecaps FC (May 20). Despite conceding late in the draw with Montreal, Sporting KC still leads MLS with just 11 goals conceded in 16 games. Melia remained in goal for Wednesday’s U.S. Open Cup encounter with Minnesota United FC and posted his ninth shutout of the year in all competitions as Sporting KC cruised into the Round of 16 with a 4-0 victory that saw Melia become the club’s all-time leader for wins in the USOC among goalkeepers.
There was a scary moment in the second half when Minnesota defender Joseph Greenspan’s head collided with Roger Espinoza’s ribs and Greenspan required approximately 10 minutes of treatment before being stretchered off the field with what was later diagnosed as a concussion. Sporting KC’s momentum wasn’t lost and Dom Dwyer slotted in his sixth U.S. Open Cup goal - a new club record - on Gerso’s first-ever assist for Sporting KC. With seven minutes remaining, Espinoza fed a ball through to Salloi who spun and found the bottom corner for his first Sporting KC goal on the Homegrown forward’s first start for the club.
Melia’s career-high for saves in a game is seven, having produced that feat twice in the span of six weeks in the 2015 season. First his seven saves saw him shutout the Portland Timbers at Providence Park on Sept. 9, 2015 before adding another sevensave performance as Sporting KC fell 1-0 to San Jose at Avaya Stadium on Oct. 16, 2015.

Sporting KC Game Notes | June 17, 2017 at San Jose Earthquakes | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SALLOI NETS ON FIRST START
SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES (CONTINUED) Another factor that comes into play is Dwyer’s longevity. The Londoner is the only Sporting KC player to appear in at least 36 games in all competitions over the last three seasons.
Sporting Kansas City Homegrown forward Daniel Salloi had a momentous night on Wednesday as the Sporting KC Academy product drew his first-ever start for the club and found the net for his first-ever Sporting KC goal to make the score 4-0 in the 83rd minute.
Player Preki Dwyer Arnaud Wolff Klein
The 20-year-old Hungarian has made seven MLS appearances this season, all off the bench, totaling 57 minutes while taking four shots - none of which have hit the target. On Wednesday, Salloi was a constant thorn in Minnesota’s side as he took five shots - tied for the team-lead alongside Dom Dwyer and Jimmy Medranda - including a strike from distance in first-half stoppage time that struck the inside of the post before ricocheting into the path of Gerso who tucked home the second goal of the night.

PLAYOFF STREAK
Sporting KC is looking to become the sixth club in MLS history to make at least seven straight trips to the postseason, while Manager Peter Vermes would be just the fourth coach to lead the same team to seven straight playoff appearances.
At the age of 20 years and 330 days, Salloi became the seventh youngest player to score a goal for Sporting KC in all competitions. He’s only topped by Soony Saad and Latif Blessing on the current roster, with Saad scoring on his 19th birthday against the Portland Timbers on Aug. 17, 2011 and Blessing bagging a brace in the 2-2 draw with Orlando City SC on May 13, 2017 at the age of 20 years and 134 days.

Salloi was an integral member of the Sporting KC Academy Under-18 team in the 2014-15 Development Academy season, scoring a team-high 21 goals - including three hat-tricks - and the side went 11-1-2 when he scored. Signed as a Homegrown player in January 2016, Salloi spent the opening portion of the season on loan with the Swope Park Rangers, recording four goals and three assists in just 10 games for the USL side, before adding another goal in his lone appearance in SPR’s 2017 season opener.

Sporting Kansas City midfielder Benny Feilhaber is tied for second on the team with two goals and his three assists place him in a tie for first on the squad. Feilhaber hit 50 regular-season assists on Wednesday, May 17 against Seattle Sounders FC when he helped set up Gerso’s third and final goal of the game - nine for the New England Revolution and 41 for Sporting KC. On top of his exploits on the scoresheet, Feilhaber is tied for third in MLS with 38 chances created - trailing his childhood friend and New York Red Bulls midfielder Sacha Kljestan’s 43 - and is tied for second with 26 chances created from open play alongside Columbus Crew SC’s Justin Meram and NYCFC’s David Villa while trailing Villa’s teammate Maxi Moralez, who sits on 28.
VERMES VERBATIM
Initial thoughts on the U.S. Open Cup win over Minnesota United FC… “It was good what they did for us. I thought that they came out and they pressed us high. I think it was very good for us to have to deal with that. They did a really good job early on with that. We were getting back a couple of times, we broke it, they won the ball back and we broke it. But we kept trying to find solutions which was great for us I think in the long run because we’ve got to be able to play under pressure like that. For us to have to do that tonight was great. They put us under pressure quite a few times, and it was hard for us to get in a rhythm in the beginning, but then we started to get it. I think keeping the ball was good for us, I think it wore them out over the course of the game. After we got that first (goal) I think their guard was let down because I think their objective was to get to halftime 0-0. Maybe they would try to sneak one in, but at least 0-0 and then maybe try to bring on some of their players, maybe some fresh legs. But it didn’t really work out that way, we got two before halftime. The guys came out with some really good energy in the second half right from the get-go. We got two chances, and then our third and our fourth, which was really good, but to get the shutout was even better.”
As a club, Sporting KC leads Major League Soccer with 173 chances created - 13 more than the Portland Timbers in second - and chances created from open play with 154. Sporting KC have produced the vast majority of their chances from open play, with Ike Opara’s headed goal off Graham Zusi’s corner kick in Wednesday’s U.S. Open Cup victory the first goal the side has designed off a set piece in 2017.
BESLER AND SINOVIC RENEW PARTNERSHIP
After recording eight shutouts in the opening 15 games on the left side of the defense to open the 2017 MLS season, center back Matt Besler and left back Seth Sinovic have now posted 46 total shutouts in just 120 games where both have started in the regular season. Since Sinovic made his first appearance for the team on May 28, 2011 after being waived by the New England Revolution earlier in the year, Sporting KC leads all of MLS with 76 shutouts - 13 more than the LA Galaxy in second. Besler and Sinovic have started 120 of the 212 games since the trade, posting 46 of the club’s 76 shutouts alongside one another.
On starting a strong lineup... “I don’t know why I wouldn’t put the best group of guys out there that I could to win the game. That’s what I did. I don’t look at it as first team guys, second team guys, whatever. This is a very important tournament, it’s an opportunity to win another trophy. We want to do the best we can. We want to play to try and win every game. To do that, you’ve got to constantly put teams out there that can get the job done. Tonight, obviously, we made a few changes, but it was to put a group out there to get the job done, and they did.”
Individually, Besler leads the league in shutouts since Sinovic joined the club with 62, while Sinovic is second with 55. Prior to the 1-1 draw with Montreal last Saturday where Belser was with the U.S. National Team in Mexico, Besler and Sinovic had started each of Sporting KC’s previous 17 regular-season games, conceding just 10 goals - a rate of 0.59 per game.
On Daniel Salloi’s first career goal… “I’m not surprised. I’m really not. I just think it’s funny because Latif went in there and switched sides with him, and said ‘do you want me to come over and play on the right?’ And I go ‘why? You can’t play on the right?’ Then when he scored, I go ‘not bad on the right, is it?’ But it was good for him. He’s a great finisher. He has a real knack in and around the box. He really does. He’s a really good finisher, and the fact that he did does not surprise me. The thing I’m really happy about is the movement of those guys up front today. They were very, very good. Even Dom’s goal. The movement he makes, the ball gets slipped in to him and the way he finished it was big time.”
DWYER CLOSING IN ON PREKI
After yet another season of rampant goalscoring, forward Dom Dwyer is now within touching distance of Sporting KC legend Preki for the most goals in both MLS and in all competitions. Dwyer scored his first goal since early May in the 4-0 drubbing of Minnesota United FC on Wednesday to bring his total to 67 in all competitions, including 57 in the regular season. Dwyer sits just 14 MLS goals and 14 strikes in all competitions shy of Preki’s all-time records of 71 and 81, respectively. The 26-year-old has amassed 55 goals since the start of the 2014 season. Only Bradley Wright-Phillips has scored more MLS goals in that time period than Dwyer, and took home the MLS Golden Boot titles in 2014 and 2016.

Sporting KC Game Notes | June 17, 2017 at San Jose Earthquakes | 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 in his ninth season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2017. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 136 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 – and finished atop the Eastern Conference regular-season standings in 2011 and 2012. He is the first coach in club history to lead Sporting KC to six 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 110 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 has coached 311 total games during his Kansas City coaching career, most in club history.
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, the Swope Park Rangers (USL) 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.
Assistant Coach | Zoran Savic
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 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 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
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.
