#SKCvMIN: BY THE NUMBERS

For just the second time in their MLS history, Sporting Kansas City will take on Minnesota United FC this Saturday at Children’s Mercy Park. It’s the first MLS matchup between the two clubs in Kansas City, with Minnesota United earning a 2-0 victory in the inaugural game at TCF Bank Stadium on May 7, 2017. Sporting KC entered that showdown as their third game in an eight-day span, having claimed a 3-0 win over Real Salt Lake on April 29 and a 2-0 victory over the New York Red Bulls on May 3. Peter Vermes made three changes from the previous game as Sporting KC rotated their squad. First-half goals from Abu Danladi and Christian Ramirez - both set up by the left foot of Miguel Ibarra - earned Minnesota a 2-0 victory despite Sporting KC out-shooting their opponents 17-8.

Last season, Benny Feilhaber and Diego Rubio were on the mark for a 2-1 Fourth Round victory at the National Sports Center Stadium in Blaine, Minnesota. Sporting KC is 10-3-0 in their first-ever home game against an expansion MLS franchise, only suffering home defeats in the first visits of the Houston Dynamo (2006), Seattle Sounders FC (2009) and the Montreal Impact (2012).

Sporting KC Game Notes | June 3, 2017 vs. Minnesota United FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes HOME COMFORTS

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES from outside the penalty area with 21. That count topped the previous record of 19, tallied by the Philadelphia Union in a match against Sporting KC on June 22, 2011 at Talen Energy Stadium.

Sporting Kansas City returns home this weekend after a two-game road swing to Vancouver Whitecaps FC and the Colorado Rapids the last two Saturdays. Both games resulted in shutout defeats but Sporting KC can now look forward to three straight games at Children’s Mercy Park against Minnesota United FC (June 3) and the Montreal Impact (June 10) before facing Minnesota again in the U.S. Open Cup on June 14.

In addition, Sporting KC made 437 passes in the attacking half during the game, which is the second highest tally of any MLS team in the Opta era - trailing only Atlanta United FC’s total of 530 against the Chicago Fire on March 18, 2017 when the Fire played a man down from the early exchanges. The side’s total of 628 passes were its third most in the Opta era.

Sporting KC currently boasts the longest active home unbeaten streak in MLS and is riding the longest home unbeaten streak in the club’s history. Sporting KC has not suffered defeat at Children’s Mercy Park for 15 games in MLS play, dating back to a 1-0 defeat to D.C. United on May 27, 2016 - over a year ago. Sporting KC is 5-0-1 at home so far this season and is one of five MLS teams just to taste defeat at home in 2017. Sporting KC is also in the midst of a five-game home winning streak, having taken maximum points from each home contest since a goalless draw with FC Dallas in the club’s home opener.

Sporting KC continues to lead Major League Soccer in shots per game this season, taking an average of 14.36 per game so far in 2017. The team is also third in shots on goal per game, finding the target 4.71 times per game, resulting in 16 goals.

WELCOME TO THE BIG SHOW

On Wednesday afternoon, Sporting Kansas City announced that the club had signed central defender Amer Didic from the side’s USL affiliate, the Swope Park Rangers. Didic, 22, made 38 appearances for the Rangers since joining ahead of their inaugural season in 2016, earning USL All-League First Team honors as a USL Defender of the Year finalist last season.

Minnesota United FC have made a recovery after their atrocious start to their inaugural MLS campaign, going 3-3-0 in their last six games after opening the season with a 1-4-2 mark through their opening seven matches in 2017. Minnesota are yet to win a game on the road during their short MLS history, posting a 0-4-2 mark away from home this season. Despite an improved 3-3-0 record in their last six outings, five of those games came at home and fell to a 3-2 defeat in their lone road game during that stretch to Toronto FC at BMO Field.

Didic scored once in 2016 - the game-winner against Seattle Sounders FC 2 on Sept. 24 - and was named to the USL Team of the Week a league-high six times. He started each of the Rangers’ nine shutouts last year on his way to being named Swope Park Rangers Defensive Player of the Year. Didic was the first SPR player to be called up to play with Sporting KC, playing every minute in the opening three CONCACAF Champions League contests for the club last fall.

LOONEY TUNES

Sporting Kansas City and Minnesota United have squared off just once in MLS play in the two clubs’ history. The inaugural matchup took place on May 7 at TCF Bank Stadum in Minneapolis, with Sporting KC entering the game as their third in the space of eight days. Minnesota took the lead in the first half with a goal from Abu Danladi on his first start for the club before leading scorer Christian Ramirez added a second before halftime to steer Minnesota United to a 2-0 home victory and condemn Sporting KC to just their second defeat of the campaign.

Born in Zenica, Bosnia & Herzegovina but raised in Edmonton, Canada, Didic attended Baker University in nearby Baldwin City, Kansas. He scored 28 goals and added six assists in 84 games from central defense, and was a two-time NAIA All-American, a NSCAA All-American and earned Heart of America Athletic Conference Most Valuable Player and Defensive Player of the Year honors in his final year with Baker in 2015.

Sporting KC had faced Minnesota United FC twice in the U.S. Open Cup prior to that game, in the 2014 and 2016 seasons. Sporting KC claimed a 2-0 win in a Third Round matchup at Children’s Mercy Park on June 18, 2014, with current Sporting KC forward Soony Saad and Alex Martinez on the scoresheet. Last season, Peter Vermes’ men won 2-1 after extra time behind a penalty from Benny Feilhaber and an extra-time strike from Diego Rubio.

ROGER SEES RED

In last Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to the Colorado Rapids, Roger Espinoza was shown Sporting Kansas City’s first red card of the season after receiving his second yellow card of the game late on for a foul on Kevin Doyle. Only six teams in MLS have yet to receive a red card this season, while Sporting KC and Saturday’s opponents Minnesota United FC are two of seven sides yet to benefit from a red card shown to their opposition in a game. Prior to Saturday’s game, Sporting KC, FC Dallas and Orlando City SC were the only three teams yet to play in a game that saw either side shown a red card. That changed when Espinoza brought down Doyle in the 93rd minute of Saturday’s showdown at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.

The two sides will meet twice more in 2017 after Saturday’s game, with Sporting KC hosting Minnesota United for a U.S. Open Cup Fourth Round showdown at Children’s Mercy Park just 11 days later on June 14 before Sporting KC travels back to TCF Bank Stadium on Oct. 7.

STURDY VS. POUROUS

In addition to not yet benefiting from a red card decision, Sporting KC is also one of two teams in MLS who have not been awarded a penalty kick this season, joined by the San Jose Earthquakes. Toronto FC have won the most penalties with seven - though they have only scored four of them - while the New York Red Bulls have faced a league-high six penalties to date. Sporting KC is tied for the third most penalties faced with three, though goalkeeper Tim Melia has saved two of them against D.C. United (March 4) and Vancouver Whitecaps FC (May 20).

Saturday’s match between Sporting Kansas City and Minnesota United FC features Major League Soccer’s most sturdy backline and most pourous defense. Sporting KC has conceded just 10 goals in 14 games this season, seeing the side post a league-best 0.71 goals against average, while Minnesota has allowed 30 goals in 13 matches for a league-worst 2.31 goals against average. Tim Melia has started every game in goal for Sporting KC this season and his 0.71 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 1.19 this year, placing him in a tie for eighth in the league all-time, alongside Nick Rimando. Former Sporting KC goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen leads the league’s all-time standings with 0.99.

REPORTING FOR DUTY

A host of Sporting Kansas City players have been called up for international duty this week ahead of both World Cup Qualifiers and friendly games. On Sunday, defenders Matt Besler and Graham Zusi were each called up to the U.S. National Team for a pair of World Cup Qualifiers against Trinidad and Tobago on June 8 and Mexico on June 11 preceded by a friendly with Venezuela this Saturday, June 3.

Melia leads the league with seven shutouts this season, just one shy of his singleseason record of eight that he set in 2015 and matched in 2016. In addition, Melia is one of just two goalkeepers to save two penalties this season alongside Real Salt Lake’s Rimando.

Roger Espinoza, who is suspended for Saturday’s clash with Minnesota United FC after receiving two yellow cards against the Colorado Rapids last weekend, has been called in to the Honduras National Team. Espinoza and Honduras will face Mexico on June 8 and Panama on June 13 as they continue their CONCACAF Hexagonal campaign.

Minnesota on the other hand has seen goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth allow 20 goals in his 12 games for a 1.90 goals against average individually. That’s the worst goals against average among goalkeepers to play in at least seven games this season, though his backline has improved after a wretched start. Minnesota have conceded just six goals in their last six games - including three shutouts - after opening the season by allowing 24 goals in seven games with zero shutouts.

Left back Tyler Pasher, who recently made his MLS debut for the club in the defeat at Vancouver Whitecaps FC on May 20, was included in Octavio Zambrano’s 27-man Canada National Team roster on Tuesday. The side will play an intrasquad scrimmage on June 8 before narrowing the squad down to 18-20 players ahead of a friendly against Curacao at Stade Saputo in Montreal on June 13. Both Pasher and Espinoza depart for their respective international sides after Saturday’s game against Minnesota.

UNPRECEDENTED FRUSTRATION

Sporting Kansas City endured a frustrating evening last Saturday as the side fell to a 1-0 defeat to the Colorado Rapids at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Sporting KC dominated proceedings, keeping 73 percent of possession and taking 25 shots compared to Colorado’s six.

Swope Park Rangers attacking midfielder Kevin Oliveira has been called in to the Cape Verde National Team for a Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Uganda on June 10 in Praia, Cape Verde. Oliveira has previously spent time with the senior national team in camp, but never for a competitive match.

Sporting KC were mainly limited to shots from distance though, with the majority failing to find the target. In fact, Sporting KC set an Opta-era record (2010-present) for shots 3

CAPTAIN AMERICA

RUBIO STEPPING UP RECOVERY FROM ACL INJURY

Sporting Kansas City Homegrown center back Erik Palmer-Brown is currently in South Korea for the 2017 FIFA Under-20 World Cup, captaining the U.S. Under-20 National Team. The U.S. is off to a flying start in the tournament, advancing as group winners out of Group F with five points before earning an emphatic 6-0 victory over New Zealand in the Round of 16 on Thursday morning. The U.S. advanced out of their group after playing to a dramatic 3-3 draw with Ecuador on Monday, May 22 before topping Senegal 1-0 on Thursday, May 25 and hanging on for a 1-1 draw with Saudi Arabia despite being reduced to 10 men on Sunday, May 28.

Sporting KC forward Diego Rubio is back on the training field as he steps up his rehabilitation from a torn Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) in his right knee suffered during training on Oct. 14, 2016. Rubio recorded three goals and one assist in 20 appearances across all competitions in 2016 after joining Sporting KC -initially on loan in March. Last September, the 23-year-old became the first player in club history to score in the MLS regular season, Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and CONCACAF Champions League in the same year. He opened his 2016 scoring account in a 1-1 draw at Vancouver Whitecaps FC on April 27, 2016 and notched the game-winner in extra time of a 2-1 U.S. Open Cup victory over Minnesota United FC on June 15, 2016. Rubio then tallied his first goal at Children’s Mercy Park in a 2-1 Champions League defeat to Vancouver on Sept. 13, 2016.

Palmer-Brown has played every minute at center back in all four games, first alongside Orlando City SC defender Tommy Redding in the opener before being partnered with Tottenham Hotspur’s Cameron Carter-Vickers on Thursday and Sunday - though CarterVickers was sent off for receiving two yellow cards in the draw with Saudi Arabia. PalmerBrown was reunited with Redding for Thursday’s thrashing of New Zealand.

A native of Santiago, Chile, Rubio has netted 40 goals and added 16 assists since turning professional in 2011 at age 17. After rising from the youth ranks to the senior team at hometown club Colo-Colo, Rubio moved overseas to Sporting Clube de Portugal, where he scored 22 times for Sporting B from 2011-2015. The striker made 20 first-team appearances for Sporting while also going on loan to Romanian side Pandurii Targu Jiu in 2013 and Norwegian outfit Sandnes Ulf in 2014.

In Thursday’s game, the U.S. took a halftime lead after Missouri native Josh Sargent directed Justen Glad’s shot into the back of the net for his fourth goal of the tournament - matching the U.S. U-20s record for goals in a U-20 World Cup. The U-20s added two goals in the space of two minutes from Jeremy Ebobisse and Brooks Lennon in the second half before the U.S. added further strikes from Glad, Auston Trusty and Lagos Kunga while Palmer-Brown helped the side notch a second shutout of the tournament. The U.S. will face Venezuela in the Quarterfinals on Sunday at 1 a.m. CT.

Rubio earned three caps for the Chile Men’s National Team in 2011 at age 18 before playing eight matches at the U-20 level from 2012-2013.

BENNY, THE CREATOR

PLAYOFF STREAK

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.

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.

On top of his exploits on the scoresheet, Feilhaber is tied for fourth in MLS with 34 chances created - trailing his childhood friend and New York Red Bulls midfielder Sacha Kljestan’s 43 - and is tied for third with 24 chances created from open play, trailing NYCFC’s David Villa and Maxi Moralez, who both sit on 26 and 25, respectively.

BESLER AND SINOVIC RENEW PARTNERSHIP

After recording seven shutouts in the opening 14 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 45 total shutouts in just 119 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 75 shutouts - 13 more than the LA Galaxy in second. Besler and Sinovic have started 119 of the 210 games since the trade, posting 45 of the club’s 75 shutouts alongside one another. Individually, Besler leads the league in shutouts since Sinovic joined the club with 61, while Sinovic is second with 54. Besler and Sinovic have started in each of Sporting KC’s last 15 regular-season games, conceding just 10 goals - a rate of 0.67 per game.

VERMES VERBATIM

Thoughts on the game against the Colorado Rapids… We actually dominated every category except scoring a goal. It’s tough to swallow when you play as well as we did and you walk away with zero. I’m disappointed for the guys because the effort, the level of play, and just a class game, but in the end, we couldn’t find the net. Colorado defended well, made some stops.

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.

On what the team can learn from the game… Sometimes it’s cruel, and this is what happens. Run away from home and dominating a game like this, usually you get more and sometimes a game is cruel. Tonight, it was cruel.

Dwyer has scored five goals in his last seven games to bring his regular-season total to 57, and 66 in all competitions. Dwyer sits just 14 MLS goals and 15 strikes in all competitions shy of Preki’s all-time records of 71 and 81, respectively.

On how tough it is to break Colorado down… It wasn’t at our place. We obviously scored three goals, so I wouldn’t go that far with that statement. I would say more tonight they were tough to break down. We were in and around their box for 74 percent of the possession of the game.

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.

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. Player Preki Dwyer Arnaud Wolff Klein
