Both clubs come into the game looking to snap long winless runs. The Dynamo return home off a lost road trip where they were outscored 8-0 in three defeats, last a 3-0 loss at the Colorado Rapids, while Sporting saw their run without a victory extended to five games in a 1-0 reversal at D.C. United. REFEREE: Juan Guzman.

The Dynamo had advanced each of the two previous years, including in 2011 at Sporting Park with a trip to MLS Cup on the line.  In league play, the last three meetings at Sporting Park have ended in draws. Sporting came away with points on both of their league visits to BBVA Compass Stadium a season ago, a 1-0 win on May 12 followed by a scoreless draw Oct. 9.  Coaches record: Peter Vermes vs. HOU: P11 W3 L2 D6… Dominic Kinnear vs. KC: P20 W8 L2 D10 HOUSTON DYNAMO The Houston Dynamo concluded their three-game road swing with a third shutout defeat, falling 3-0 to the Colorado Rapids on Sunday evening at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. The Dynamo are in fourth place in the Eastern Conference with 17 points from 15 games. LAST MATCH  The Rapids were in the lead after just the fifth minute. Right back Marvell Wynne hit a perfect cross from the right flank finding a streaking Deshorn Brown, who headed in from about at the penalty spot.  The lead was doubled on 35 minutes. Dillon Powers made eye contact with Brown and sent a looping pass into space on the right side of the box, where Brown caught up to it before slotting it past goalkeeper Tally Hall inside the far post as the offside flag stayed down.  Kamani Hill put the match away six minutes after the second-half restart with a wonderfully inventive goal, soaring into the air to connect on a beautiful back heel from a Powers corner kick.  Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear made no changes to the team that fell 3-0 to the San Jose Earthquakes at Buck Shaw Stadium.  HOUSTON DYNAMO (4-2-3-1): Tally Hall - Kofi Sarkodie, Jermaine Taylor, David Horst, Corey Ashe Servando Carrasco, Warren Creavalle (Alexander Lopez 47+) - Omar Cummings (Jason Johnson 74), Giles Barnes, Andrew Driver (A.J. Cochran 85) - Will Bruin.

MLS GAME INFORMATION

TEAM NEWS  The Dynamo return home following a three-game road swing where they were shut out in three consecutive games, outscored 8-0. It’s the third time in Dynamo club history they’ve been blanked in three games in a row; their 299-minute stretch without hitting the back of the net is the third longest in club annals.  The Dynamo have now conceded 27 goals this season, the most in MLS. Their average of 1.80 goals per game is 16th-most in the league, ahead of Montréal, Chicago (both 1.83) and Chivas USA (1.92).  “I think it was a combination of them dictating the game, and us not really doing any favors for ourselves,” said Corey Ashe. “We turned the ball over in bad situations, not really staying clued in. We’re giving up soft goals right now, goals that can be prevented. We’ve had a rough patch, but we need to sort it out, that’s for sure.”  “When we break it down, we’re not playing bad; we’re just not making teams have to really beat us,” said Will Bruin. “We’re leaving guys open in the box, we’re not taking accountability plays, and we’re not scoring goals. That’s just something we’ve got to get out of.”  The Dynamo have allowed five goals in the opening 15 minutes, tied for third-most this season in MLS (Seattle and New York have allowed six). The Dynamo have allowed eight of their 27 goals in the first 15 minutes of each half.  “When you give up a goal in the first five minutes, it’s deflating, but we should have guys getting up and saying ‘hey, let’s go, it’s just one goal, get it back, get it going forward,” said Bruin. “We’re putting our heads down, trying to feel sorry for ourselves, and this is what happens.”  Said Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear: “Losing a goal in the first five minutes of the game is never good. We just didn’t play well. We came out, we gave a free header in the first five minutes. It’s a dangerous game to play, to play from behind.”  The Dynamo are also averaging 1.07 goals per game, ranking 17th in MLS, ahead of just Chivas USA (1.00) and Montréal (0.92). SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City saw their winless streak stretched to five games, dropping a 1-0 decision to D.C. United on Saturday evening at RFK Stadium. Sporting sit in third place in the Eastern Conference with 19 points from 14 games. LAST MATCH  The game's lone goal came in the 28th minute. After a cross skipped through the box, Fabian Espindola collected the ball with his back to goal on the right and from 25 yards out and struck an apparent cross back toward the far post, which Sporting goalkeeper Eric Kronberg misjudged to allow the curling ball to find its way into the upper corner.  United goalkeeper Bill Hamid was credited with five saves in recording the clean sheet. United finished the game a man down after Alex Caskey was sent off in stoppage time.  Sporting manager Peter Vermes made one change to the team that reached a 1-1 draw with the New York Red Bulls at Sporting Park. Jacob Peterson came in on the flank in place of Sal Zizzo.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Eric Kronberg - Igor Juliao, Kevin Ellis, Aurelien Collin (Erik PalmerBrown 9), Seth Sinovic - Benny Feilhaber - Alex Martinez (Jimmy Medranda 66), Paulo Nagamura - Antonio Dovale, Dom Dwyer, Jacob Peterson (Soony Saad 77). TEAM NEWS  Sporting KC saw their winless streak extended to five games in the loss at D.C. United. It’s the longest for the club since a club-record 10-game stretch without a win during the 2011 season.  “We just need to keep moving guys around to get ourselves through this period. Obviously, we’ve got one more game before the break and we’ll do the best that we can with it at the moment, but I have nothing but praise for team,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes. “... We tried to drive the game and tried to play to high tempo and the second half was at many times at a snail’s pace in regards to the management of the game.”  Sporting were also shut out at the attacking end for the first time since April 26, and for a fourth time this season.  “Every time we went forward obviously they bunkered in and they tried to counter,” Vermes said. “That was their game, but we had some very good chances in and around the box. A couple unlucky ones, especially in the first half. We had a great ball inside the six-yard box that banged off a couple guys as opposed to getting a clean shot off, but that happens sometimes.”  There was an early forced change as Aurelien Collin had to come off after just nine minutes after suffering a hamstring injury.  Erik Palmer-Brown – who was sent off after 64 minutes in his MLS debut, the loss in Chicago on May 21 – came into central defense to replace Collin, alongside converted fullback Kevin Ellis.  “He played really well,” Vermes said. “The team played very well – energy, tactically – and again, with as many guys as we miss in our team, and how many guys play out of position, the resemblance of the way we always play is right there. And that's tremendous for those guys.”

Said goalkeeper Eric Kronberg: “I think the key to our success defensively is that we have to defend with all 11 guys, and that is kind of our style of play we defend from the top down. Everyone knows their role and everyone knows everyone else’s role. We can bring new guys in and they cannot miss a beat. Obviously we have players that you know we want in there but, I am really happy with the way my defense played and I think that goal was on me.” On Tuesday, Sporting announced the transfer of midfielder Oriol Rosell to Sporting Clube of Portugal. “The perception from the outside might be that the timing is not great, but from the inside we believe that the timing is perfect. It opens the door for Uri and for us,” said Sporting Club CEO Robb Heineman. “Uri came from Barcelona B to Sporting Kansas City, won an MLS Cup and furthered his development on the field. This transfer helps enable us to retain our core players while adding pieces to the team.”

DYNAMO HOST SPORTING KANSAS CITY IN REMATCH OF 2013 EASTERN CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP The Houston Dynamo (5‐8‐2; 17 points) host Sporting Kansas City (5‐5‐4; 19 points) on Friday night at BBVA Compass Stadium. The matchup is the first game between Houston and Kansas City this season and a replay of the 2013 Eastern Conference Championship. The Dynamo capped a three‐game road swing with a 3‐0 setback against the Colorado Rapids on Sunday. Sporting KC suffered a 1‐0 loss at D.C. United on Saturday. Friday is the first of two meetings between the clubs this season. The Dynamo visit Sporting Park on Aug. 29.

HOUSTON VS. KANSAS CITY The Dynamo are 6‐4‐8 all‐time in regular season games against Sporting Kansas City, including a 3‐2‐4 mark in home games. The Eastern Conference rivals have played 10 games over the last two seasons, including four playoff games. The clubs met in the postseason for the third straight season in 2013 and Sporting KC secured a 2‐1 aggregate series win in the Eastern Conference Championship. After a scoreless first leg in Houston, SKC registered a 2‐1 win in the second leg at Sporting Park last November. Boniek Garcia delivered the Dynamo a 1‐0 lead in the third minute, but C.J. Sapong equalized 11 minutes later and Dom Dwyer scored the series‐winning goal in the second half as Sporting KC advanced and won MLS Cup. The Dynamo defeated Sporting KC in the playoffs the previous two seasons, a 2‐1 aggregate series victory in the Eastern Conference Semifinals in 2012 and a 2‐0 road win in the Eastern Conference Final in 2011. Last season, Sporting KC snapped Houston’s MLS record 36‐game home undefeated streak with a 1‐0 win at BBVA Compass Stadium on May 12, 2013. The clubs drew 1‐1 in a rematch on May 26 at Sporting Park before playing to a 0‐0 draw in their final regular season encounter, Oct. 9 in Houston.

DYNAMO NOTES Dynamo complete road swing with 3‐0 setback at Colorado: Deshorn Brown scored two first‐half goals to lead the Colorado Rapids to a 3‐0 victory over the Houston Dynamo on Sunday evening at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Brown delivered a 1‐0 lead for the Rapids in the fifth minute. Marvell Wynne delivered a pinpoint service from near the right corner and Brown rose eight yards from the back post to head the opening goal into the back of the net. Colorado nearly doubled its lead 13 minutes later. Dillon Powers broke free at the top of the box and squared the ball to Kamani Hill near the penalty spot. Hill’s low shot was bound for the net, but Corey Ashe raced across the front of goal and cleared the shot off the line at the last moment. The Rapids made it 2‐0 in the 35th minute. Powers created space in the middle of the field and played the ball to Brown on the right side of the penalty area. The Jamaican forward drove a low shot from a difficult angle inside the far post for his fourth goal of the season. Colorado capped the scoring six minutes after halftime. Powers drove a corner kick to the front side of the box and Hill used a deft flick with the outside of his right foot to the far side of the net from 15 yards for a 3‐0 lead. Will Bruin nearly pulled a goal back for the Dynamo in the 72nd minute. Bruin ran onto a bouncing ball at the edge of the penalty area and cracked a half‐volley from 20 yards that crashed off the crossbar near the corner of the goal.

Bruin is the first player in Dynamo history with three career three‐game scoring streaks. Bruin’s first came in April 2012. His latest streak marked the seventh time a Dynamo player scored in three consecutive games: Bruin 3X; Ching 2006, 2008; Joseph Ngwenya 2007; Stuart Holden 2009). No Dynamo player has ever scored in four consecutive games. Dynamo milestones and notes from 4‐1 victory at Chivas USA on May 3: o Giles Barnes scored his first two goals of the season. o It was also Barnes’ third career two‐goal game with the Dynamo and first since he scored twice against Chivas USA last September in a 5‐1 win at BBVA Compass Stadium. o It was Boniek Garcia’s 13th career regular season assist with the Dynamo to tie Will Bruin, Stuart Holden and Richard Mulrooney for sixth on the club list. o Corey Ashe earned his third assist of the season for his most in a campaign since 2010 (3).

Additional 2013 Dynamo Notes:  Boniek Garcia is crucial to Dynamo: Honduran midfielder Boniek Garcia has been a key factor in Houston success since joining the club in June 2012. In the 2013 regular season, the Dynamo were 11‐5‐5 with Garcia in the starting lineup, with a 33‐ 24 goal difference. The Dynamo dropped to 3‐6‐4 in games Garcia did not start, and were outscored 8‐16. In 2012, the Dynamo went 9‐4‐6 with a +10 goal difference in the regular season after Garciaʹs debut.  Ricardo Clark’s value evident in Dynamo success: The Dynamo were 13‐8‐8 in regular season games started by Ricardo Clark. In games Clark did not start, the club was 1‐3‐1. Moreover, the Dynamo were 7‐0‐1 when Clark recorded a goal or an assist in a game. Of the eight games Clark recorded a goal or assist, six were decided by a goal or less. Three of Clark’s four goals were game‐winning goals (including each of his last three regular season goals, all in 1‐0 wins) and all four of his assists were game‐winning assists or tied the game.  Dynamo were best in MLS in 2013 when scoring first: Houston was 13‐0‐3 (W‐L‐T) when scoring the first goal in a game in the 2013 regular season, the best win percentage in MLS (.906). Conversely, the Dynamo struggled when allowing the opponent to score first, with a 1‐11‐4 mark (.188) when falling behind in a game, the fifth‐worst record in the league.  Better late than never: The Dynamo scored 14 of 41 goals in the 2013 regular season after the 75th minute. In addition, Houston scored 19 of 41 goals after the 60th minute, and 25 of 41 goals after halftime. The late goals continued a trend for Houston, which set a franchise record with 17 goals after the 75th minute in 2012 after scoring 14 late goals in 2011.  Dynamo reach 100 all‐time regular season wins: Houston’s 1‐0 victory over Montreal on Oct. 4, 2013 was the club’s 100th regular season wins in eight seasons since joining Major League Soccer at the start of the 2006 season. Houston has averaged 12.63 wins and 47.88 points per season, including the 2013 campaign.  Will Bruin records most assists in single season ever by Dynamo player not named Davis: Will Bruin recorded seven assists last regular season for the most assists in a single season ever by a Dynamo player outside of Brad Davis. Two other players have recorded six assists in a season: Boniek Garcia in 2012 and Geoff Cameron in 2009. But no player outside of Davis and Bruin has recorded seven in a season. Davis has the seven of the eight highest single‐season assist totals in club history: 16 (2011), 12 (2012, 2010, 2009), 11 (2006), and 8 (2013 and 2008).



Davis registers 20th career multi‐assist game: Brad Davis earned his 20th career regular season multi‐assist game in the 3‐1 victory over Seattle on Aug. 17. It was Davis’ first two‐assist game of the season. The midfielder had three in 2012, including two assists in consecutive games (7/21 vs. Montreal and 7/28 at Toronto FC). Davis is tied for fifth all‐time in multi‐assist games among MLS players. The top five multi‐assist totals in Major League Soccer history:

The U.S. began preparation for the World Cup on May 14 with a 30-player training camp at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California before Jurgen Klinsmann’s squad was cut to 23 players on May 22. The U.S. has since won two pre-World Cup friendlies -- 2-0 vs. Azerbaijan on May 27 in San Francisco and 2-1 vs. Turkey on June 1 in Harrison, New Jersey. Besler and Zusi started both matches. The U.S. will face Nigeria on Saturday in Jacksonville, Florida before arriving in Brazil on June 9 ahead of the 32-team World Cup, to be held from June 12 - July 13. The Americans’ three opponents in Group G are Ghana (June 16), Portugal (June 22) and Germany (June 26). Besler, 27, has made 16 appearances for the U.S. since debuting in January 2013, including six FIFA World Cup qualifiers and all three knockout round games en route to the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup title. Following the Americans’ 2-1 victory over Turkey on June 1, the U.S. is 11-1-3 with Besler in the starting lineup. He has appeared in 145 MLS matches (including postseason) in his career, earning MLS Best XI (2012, 2013), MLS All-Star (2011, 2013) and MLS Defender of the Year (2012) honors. Zusi has earned 22 appearances for the U.S. with three goals and four assists in his international career. He scored in the final two FIFA World Cup Qualifiers, highlighted by the game-winning goal against Jamaica at Sporting Park, to secure a first place finish in the Hexagonal for the U.S. He has played in 142 MLS matches (including postseason) with 18 goals and 40 assists. He was an MLS MVP finalist in 2012 and nominee for Best MLS Player at the 2013 ESPYS to go along with MLS All-Star (2012, 2013) and MLS Best XI (2012, 2013) recognition.

Summer in the Soccer Capital series of events announced Sporting KC announced the team’s Summer in the Soccer Capital series of events, presented by The Sprint Framily Plan, featuring an international friendly against English Premier League Champions Manchester City on July 23, 8 p.m. at Sporting Park and official World Cup watch parties at KC Live! in the Power & Light District.

Sporting KC news & Notes (cont.) Oriol Rosell signs with Sporting Clube de Portugal

U.S. Open Cup on the docket

Sporting KC announced on June 3 that the club has agreed to transfer midfielder Oriol Rosell to Sporting CP in Lisbon, Portugal. Rosell, 21, joined Sporting KC in August 2012 from Barcelona B. He contributed two goals and two assists in 49 MLS appearances (including postseason) and led all MLS players with 130 interceptions during the 2013 season. Rosell was voted No. 14 on MLSsoccer.com’s top 24 players under the age of 24 last year and made his international debut for Catalonia in 2013.

Sporting KC will host Minnesota United FC (North American Soccer League) in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Fourth Round on June 18, 7:30 p.m. at Sporting Park. Minnesota United currently sits atop the NASL (Division II) standings with a 6-1-1 record. This will be the first ever meeting between the clubs.

Rosell becomes the third Sporting KC player in the last 18 months to move to Europe. In 2013, Honduran midfielder Roger Espinoza joined Wigan Athletic (England) and Sierra Leone striker Kei Kamara moved to Middlesbrough FC (England). Rosell’s transfer will open a Salary Budget Player spot and international slot on Sporting KC’s roster.

Dwyer nominated for MLS Player of the Month Forward Dom Dwyer has been nominated for MLS Player of the Month in May. The 23-year-old forward scored six goals in seven games last month, tied for most in MLS with New York Red Bulls striker Bradley Wright-Phillips. Dwyer was the only player in MLS to record two multi-goal games in May. The Englishman scored twice in Sporting KC’s 3-0 win over the Montreal Impact on May 10 and repeated the feat against Toronto FC in a 2-2 tie on May 23. He sandwiched those performances with goals against the Philadelphia Union and Chicago Fire. His four-game scoring streak was the second longest all-time in club history behind Preki, who scored in five straight during the club’s inaugural 1996 season.

Busy month of May concludes Sporting KC played seven MLS matches in May, posting a 2-3-2 record. Peter Vermes’ men play no more than five League matches in every other month of the 2014 season. Sporting KC’s .45 winning percentage all-time in May is the lowest of any month. After a trip to the Houston Dynamo, Sporting KC has a three-week MLS break during which the 2014 FIFA World Cup takes center stage.

Injuries and international duty test Sporting KC’s depth Through 14 games in the 2014 MLS regular season, Sporting KC has featured 14 different starting lineups. Peter Vermes’ personnel selection has been complicated by several factors throughout the year. In March, the club had to balance multiple competitions during the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals. More recently, schedule congestion has come to the forefront with seven MLS games in May. To complicate matters, Chance Myers and Ike Opara have suffered season-ending injuries; Matt Besler, Graham Zusi and Lawrence Olum have seen extended international action; and Erik Palmer-Brown and Aurelien Collin have served one-game suspensions, with the latter also picking up a minor injury. As a result, 24 different players have started an MLS match for the club this season, most of all 19 teams. Sporting KC’s defense has been stretched most of all, with eight different players featuring in the centerback position during the 2014 campaign.

Besler and Zusi among top 15 in MLS jersey sales On June 4, Major League Soccer revealed the 15 top-selling jerseys in the league so far this season. Based on sales results from MLSGear.com and MLSGearCanada.ca, Sporting KC has two players on the list with Zusi ranked 9th and Besler 12th. Sporting KC is one of four clubs to have multiple players on the list.

Should Sporting KC defeat Minnesota United in the fourth round, they will host the winner between the Portland Timbers (MLS) and Orlando City U-23’s (USL Professional Development League) in the tournament’s round of 16. The U.S. Open Cup, recognized as U.S. Soccer’s national championship, is an annual competition open to all amateur and professional teams affiliated with U.S. soccer. The oldest annual team tournament in American sports history has its origins in 1914 and is named after Sporting KC’s original founder Lamar Hunt. Sporting KC are two-time champions in the competition, winning the title in 2004 and 2012.

CONCACAF Champions League opponents determined CONCACAF conducted the offical draw for the 2014-15 CONCACAF Champions League on May 28, placing Sporting KC in Group 2 alongside Deportivo Saprissa (Costa Rica) and Real Esteli FC (Nicaragua). Deportivo Sapirssa has won three CONCACAF Champions Cup titles (1993, 1995 and 2005) and features five players on Costa Rica’s roster for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Earlier this month, Saprissa won their 30th league title in the Torneo de Verano final to become the most successful club in the history of the Costa Rican Primera Division. Real Esteli, the defending Clausura and Apertura champions in their domestic league, are the only Nicaraguan side to have participated in the competition and have qualified every year since the 2008-09 edition. Real Esteli will meet Sporting KC in the group stage for a second straight year after going 0-3-1 during the 2013-14 tournament. 2014-15 CONCACAF Champions League group stage fixtures will be played from August to October, with each group winner advancing to the knockout stage in spring 2015.

Chance Myers undergoes season-ending surgery Sporting KC defender Chance Myers successfully underwent surgery on May 28 to repair a ruptured Achilles tendon in his left ankle and will miss the rest of the 2014 season. Myers suffered the season-ending injury in the 36th minute of Sporting KC’s 2-2 draw vs. Toronto FC on May 23. Sporting KC drafted Myers with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2008 MLS SuperDraft. Over the past seven seasons, Myers has appeared in 123 regular season games and has started more than 100 games in all competitions. He re-signed with the club prior to the 2014 season after tallying two goals and three assists during Sporting KC’s MLS Cup championship campaign. The UCLA product has represented the United States at the U-18 and U-20 levels and trained with the USMNT during the 2014 January camp.

Ellis filling a void as makeshift centerback Homegrown right back Kevin Ellis rejoined Sporting KC May 16 after four weeks on loan with USL PRO affiliate OKC Energy FC. He has played in every game since his return, including three starts at the centerback position. The Kansas City, Mo. native started three of Sporting KC’s first four MLS matches in 2014 and scored his first goal for the club in the first leg of the 2014 CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals vs. eventual champion Cruz Azul. He joined Energy FC on loan April 21.

Sporting KC news & Notes (cont.) Olum helps Kenya advance in Africa Cup of Nations qualifying

Kronberg posting solid numbers in goal

Midfielder Lawrence Olum played 64 minutes as Kenya tied Comoros 1-1 on May 30 in Mitsamiouli, Comoros. Kenya’s 2-1 aggregate victory sent the Harambee Stars to the second round of 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying.

In his first season as Sporting KC’s starting goalkeeper, Eric Kronberg is tied for the MLS lead with a 1.00 goals against average and five shutouts among goalkeepers with more than three matches played. He has allowed 14 goals in 2014, five of which have come from the penalty spot. His five victories are tied for third most wins in the League.

Olum, who made his competitive debut for Kenya in their 1-0 first leg win on May 18, started in defense and helped keep Comoros goalless before his exit midway through the second half. Olum returned to Sporting KC on June 3.

17-year-old Palmer-Brown gaining experience Sporting KC homegrown defender Erik Palmer-Brown earned his MLS debut and first start for the club at Chicago on May 18, becoming the youngest player in MLS history to start a regular season match as a defender. Palmer-Brown made his second appearance on May 31 at D.C. United, replacing the injured Aurelien Collin in the 9th minute. He partered Kevin Ellis in central defense and limited D.C. United to just two shots on target.

19-year-old Juliao impresses in first five starts Sporting KC defender Igor Juliao started his first game for the club on May 14 vs. Philadelphia and has played the full 90 minutes in every match since. With his debut, he became the third youngest player in team history to start a league match (now fourth youngest after Erik PalmerBrown’s debut on May 18) and the youngest player in team history to go the full 90 minutes in a regular season contest.

Sporting KC embracing youth movement Since the Homegrown Player initiative began in MLS in mid-2009, Sporting KC has signed three Academy products to professional contracts as members of the senior team roster: goalkeeper Jon Kempin (2010) defender Kevin Ellis (2011) and defender Erik Palmer-Brown (2013). On May 31 at D.C. United, Ellis and Palmer-Brown played side-by-side in central defense. This was the first time in team history that Sporting KC’s lineup featured two Homegrown Players on the field together in an MLS match. May 31 also marked the first time all season that an MLS team fielded two players under the age of 20 in the same match. When 17-year-old Palmer-Brown replaced the injured Aurelien Collin in the 9th minute, he joined 19-year-old Igor Juliao on the backline.

Paying the penalty Sporting KC has conceded five penalty kicks through 14 matches this season, already fifth-most most for a single season in franchise history. The team conceded seven penalties in 1998 and 2007 and six penalties in 2000 and 2006.

The Brazilian wasted no time garnering League honors, as he was named to Sports Illustrated’s Week 11 MLS Best XI for two active displays on the backline (May 14, May 18). On loan from Fluminense FC through the end of 2014, Juliao has earned five consecutive starts in defense.

This follows a League-wide trend, as 61 penalty kicks have been awarded through 124 MLS matches (0.49 per game, as of June 3). The whole 2013 regular season had 81 penalties (0.25 per game), while the entire 2012 campaign had just 72 penalties (0.22 per game).

Loanees on the move

Red cards rising

Sporting KC has partnered with USL PRO clubs Orlando City SC and OKC Energy FC for the 2014 season. As part of the agreement, Sporting KC will loan players to the clubs to play games and gain experience throughout the year.

Sporting KC has suffered six red cards and received three during the 2014 season. The combined nine ejections through 14 matches are already one short of the club’s 2013 total. Much like penalty kicks, red card numbers have increased league-wide this season. An average of 0.31 red cards have been shown per game (through June 3), up from 0.24 in 2013 and 0.18 in 2012.

Midfielder Christian Duke was recalled to Sporting KC on June 4 from Energy FC. Duke went on loan March 17 and contributed two assists in eight USL PRO appearances totaling 563 minutes. The Overland Park, Kansas native leaves Energy FC on a high note: he assisted former Sporting KC midfielder Michael Thomas’ 93rd-minute goal on May 31 as Energy FC won 1-0 to snap a six game losing streak. Homegrown goalkeeper Kempin earned his second shutout of the season as Jimmy Nielsen’s squad improved to 3-7-0 and jumped from 13th to 11th in the USL PRO standings. Pending approval from MLS and USL PRO, Generation adidas member Mikey Lopez will jump from one affiliate to another, joining Energy FC after a two and a half months with Orlando City. Lopez was loaned to Orlando City on March 17 and contributed one assist in eight games. Orlando City remains unbeaten (9-0-3) and has a six-point lead atop the USL PRO standings.

Sporting Park sellout streak Sporting Park has sold out 44 straight MLS matches, including four playoff games. The last time Sporting KC didn’t play in front of a sellout crowd was March 25, 2012. In those 44 matches, Sporting KC is 24-9-11, has recorded 15 shutouts, and has outscored their opponents 57-34.

Late-game goals hurting Sporting KC In three of Sporting KC’s five MLS losses, the opponent has scored the game winner in the 81st minute or later. Seattle grabbed a 94th-minute goal on March 8, Teal Bunbury struck a 92nd-minute winner on April 26, and Cristian Maidana scored in the 81st minute to give Philadelphia a 2-1 win on May 14. Sporting KC also conceded stoppage time equalizers to FC Dallas on March 15 and Toronto FC on May 23. The team has dropped seven points in the final 10 minutes of action plus stoppage time in 2014.

MLS All-Star fan voting kicks off MLS released the fan ballot on May 28 for the 2014 AT&T MLS All-Star Game. The ballot features players from each of the 19 clubs as voted on by media. Sporting KC’s nominees eligible for selection are goalkeeper Erik Kronberg, defenders Matt Besler, Aurelien Collin and Seth Sinovic, midfielders Benny Feilhaber and Graham Zusi, and forward Dom Dwyer. Fan voting on MLSsoccer.com lasts through July 11.
