SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC vs SPORTING KANSAS CITY CENTURYLINK FIELD, Seattle, Wash. June 20, 2012 (WEEK 16, MLS Game #135) 7 p.m. PT (KONG; KSMO) Two of the high-flying teams in the early going of the MLS season meet at CenturyLink Field when Seattle Sounders FC play host to Sporting Kansas City. Sounders FC have hit a bit of a rocky patch, now winless in their last five games after a 4-1 defeat by the Montréal Impact last weekend. Sporting have returned from their own winless spell with back-toback victories, last a 2-0 home win against Toronto FC on Saturday evening. REFEREE: Jair Marrufo.

Sounders FC have won five consecutive league meetings vs. Sporting Kansas City since a 1-0 KC win in the first meeting ever between the clubs, April 11, 2009 in Seattle. Both Sounders wins came in stoppage time a season ago, Jeff Parke scoring in the 93rd in the 1-0 home win, and Lamar Neagle scoring in the 92nd after Mauro Rosales leveled in the 90th in Kansas City. Coaches record: Sigi Schmid vs. KC: P38 W18 L15 D5 … Peter Vermes v SEA: P5 W0 L5 D0 SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC Seattle Sounders FC saw their winless streak stretched to five games and long unbeaten run on the road ended in a 4-1 defeat by the Montréal Impact on Saturday afternoon at Stade Saputo. Sounders FC are in fourth place in the Western Conference with 24 points from 14 games. LAST MATCH The inaugural MLS goal at Stade Saputo came after 18 minutes. Patrice Bernier skirted around a defender on the outside of the box and dished to Felipe, who promptly curled a shot past goalkeeper Bryan Meredith from the heart of the area. The Impact doubled their lead in the 51st minute. Justin Mapp took a long crossfield pass and poured through the Seattle midfield from the left flank to the top of the box, where he coolly slotted a right-footed shot back inside the left post. It got worse for Sounders FC in the 56th minute, when Jhon Kennedy Hurtado cut down midfielder Collen Warner as he surged into space toward the Seattle penalty area, drawing a straight red card from referee Mark Geiger. The lead was 3-0 just two minutes later, again courtesy of a timely play from Bernier. He seized on a turnover from Seattle’s Álvaro Fernandez and funneled a pass into the box to a streaking Andrew Wenger, who rocketed a right-footed shot inside the near post.
MLS GAME INFORMATION
Seattle pulled a goal back in the 61st minute when Eddie Johnson ran onto a through ball from Fredy Montero and chipped it over goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts from the heart of the area. But the full margin was restored three minutes from the end when Lamar Neagle skipped through a couple of challenges in the area and poked home an angled shot. Sounders FC head coach Sigi Schmid made one change to the team that reached a 1-1 draw with Chivas USA at The Home Depot Center. Eddie Johnson came in for the injured David Estrada. SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC (4-4-2): Bryan Meredith - Zach Scott, Jeff Parke, Jhon Kennedy Hurtado (sent off 56), Marc Burch - Mauro Rosales (Cordell Cato 71), Andy Rose, Brad Evans, Alvaro Fernandez (Alex Caskey 62) - Fredy Montero, Eddie Johnson (Servando Carrasco 82). TEAM NEWS The Sounders FC five-game winless run is one away from the club’s MLS record, set May 2-June 6, 2009. “It’s frustrating,” said defender Zach Scott. “It’s not indicative of the team we are. To be frank, it’s embarrassing to lose like that. … It felt like they were playing with a couple more guys than us the entire game.” Sounders FC conceded a season-high four goals in their loss at Montréal last weekend, matching the number of goals they had allowed in their first 10 league games combined. “Everyone individually needs to play better or we need to put guys on the field who can play better,” said Sounders FC head coach Sigi Schmid. “We just need to find guys who can play better.” The three goals allowed were the most since a 3-0 loss in the first leg of last year’s Western Conference Semifinal Series vs. Real Salt Lake. Seattle has given up nine goals over its last four games. “We’ve been down before, we know what it takes to come back and pull out a result,” said Scott. “It’s unfortunate, but we just need to get back on how we play successfully and not worry about what the other team does. We need to go back to what we’re good at and play our type of possession soccer.” Sounders FC saw their 10-game road unbeaten streak – the second-longest in MLS history – put to an end in the 4-1 loss in Montréal. Their last loss away from Seattle had come last July 30 at Houston. “We are a good road team. Nothing that happened today is going to change my mind on that,” said Schmid. “But, obviously when you give 4 goals, that’s an issue. If we can play 1 v 1 when we are playing a man down, then we certainly won’t be losing 3-0 when we are playing either. That’s not what we are all about and we got to change that the next game.” Making his 100th league appearance for Sounders FC, Fredy Montero set up Eddie Johnson for the lone Seattle goal. Montero has 38 goals and 30 assists for his MLS career. “It was the game number 100 for me and it was meaningful. I can’t change what we did tonight,” said Montero. “But we will have another opportunity Wednesday and hopefully we’ll do better and get the three points.” SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City won for the second time in as many matches, defeating Toronto FC 2-0 on Saturday evening at Livestrong Sporting Park. Sporting have 28 points from 12 matches, now in second place in the Eastern Conference. LAST MATCH Sporting took the lead after 18 minutes. Chance Myers sent a ball down the right flank to Jacob Peterson on the overlap. Peterson's cross slipped through two TFC defenders in the area, and C.J. Sapong pounced to hammer home on the half-turn from the center of the box. SKC doubled their lead in the 35th minute. Graham Zusi sent in a corner kick from the left and Julio Cesar ripped it first-time from just outside the top right corner of the six-yard box into the roof of the net. Sporting head coach Peter Vermes made two changes to the team that recorded a 2-1 win against the San Jose Earthquakes at Livestrong Sporting Park. Lawrence Olum came into the back four for Matt Besler, and Jacob Peterson replaced Kei Kamara on the wing. SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-2-1-3): Jimmy Nielsen - Chance Myers, Lawrence Olum, Aurelien Collin, Seth Sinovic - Julio Cesar, Roger Espinoza (Peterson Joseph 89) - Graham Zusi (Konrad Warzycha 90) - Jacob Peterson (Soony Saad 73), Teal Bunbury, C.J. Sapong. TEAM NEWS Julío César scored his first goal of the season – his third since coming to MLS – in dramatic fashion, hammering home a corner kick on the full volley. “When they don’t press me and let me play, I get more comfortable,” Julio Cesar said. “You can get in the attack if you don’t have the pressure you usually have in this position.” “What a goal,” said Graham Zusi. “Contender for Goal of the Year. If that doesn’t get Goal of the Week, I don’t know what will. It was just a great finish.” For Zusi, the corner kick was his eighth assist of the season, tying him with D.C. United’s Dwayne De Rosario for the league lead. “A lot of guys on this team are a force to be reckoned with in the air. Teal (Bunbury), C.J. (Sapong), Aurelien (Collin) and Julio (Cesar) have really done their part,” Zusi said. “Over the past two years now, we have
MLS GAME INFORMATION
become really dangerous on set pieces. I take the free kicks quite a bit, but these guys have done great to finish them off. With Matt Besler sidelined following an appendectomy, Lawrence Olum made his first career league start. “He was good in the air, he was tough, strong and he had good distribution. I thought him and (Aurélien) Collin were a good team with the fact that they were tough and they were both very hard. It was difficult for those guys to play against them,” said Vermes. “I thought they established their dominance pretty early and that continued throughout the game. Good partnership right there.” With Kei Kamara still on international duty with Sierra Leone, Jacob Peterson made his first league start this season after eight appearances off the substitutes’ bench. “I know that there’s a difference when you play a reserve game and an MLS game with the pace and the tempo, and for him giving us 70 minutes like he did was tremendous,” said Vermes. “He was busy, he was active and he put a lot of pressure on those guys. Him and (Chance) Myers had some good combinations on the outside. We were terrorizing them very early in the game which puts them on their heels and they can’t get out.” he is probably coming off a 48-hour plane trip. It’s good that he will be back but at the same time, he is going to come back from a long trip so we will continue with the way we are going. We have four games in the next twoweek period. We have to recover and get ready, and then we will assess how everyone is doing on Wednesday. Vermes said he would reserve judgment before putting Kamara in the first team automatically for the trip to Seattle. “He is probably coming off a 48-hour plane trip. It’s good that he will be back but at the same time, he is going to come back from a long trip so we will continue with the way we are going,” said Vermes. “We have four games in the next two-week period. We have to recover and get ready, and then we will assess how everyone is doing on Wednesday.” Sporting KC’s Konrad Warzycha became the second son of a former MLS player (current Crew head coach Robert) when he came on as a substitute in the 2-0 win vs. Toronto. The first was SKC teammate Teal Bunbury (son of Alex).

All-time head-to-head in MlS: Seattle leads 5-1-0 Coming off a disappointing road loss at Montreal, Seattle Sounders FC looks to rebound and return to form on Wednesday night when they host Sporting Kansas City on the Xbox Pitch at CenturyLink Field. Winless over the past five, Sounders FC had its 10-game road unbeaten streak snapped last Saturday with an uncharacteristic 4-1 defeat to Montreal. Seattle is in the midst of seven matches in 22 days and will take on one of the East’s elite in Sporting Kansas City in the first of just two home matches before August. Sounders FC leads the series 5-1-0, with six goals scored in the final 15 minutes. Three of the victories have come in secondhalf stoppage time while the other two wins clinched playoff berths. Perhaps most memorable was last year’s 2-1 win at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park. Mauro Rosales scored and assisted in stoppage time to come-from-behind and earn the first victory for a visiting team at Kansas City’s new arena. Earlier in 2011, Jeff Parke headed in a corner kick to secure a 1-0 victory, and in 2010 it was Mike Fucito who subbed on and scored the stoppage time winner. Seattle also secured MLS Cup Playoff berths with wins in Kansas City in 2009 and 2010. As two of MLS’s best teams, Seattle (five) and Kansas City (seven) have had the longest winning streaks this season. Although both teams are known for their offensive power, Kansas City’s defense ranks first in MLS with a 0.77 goals against average and Seattle is second with a 0.93 GAA.

Right back Chance Myers is second on the team with four assists and left back Seth Sinovic has added two. Goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen has been strong in the net this season and is tied for first in MLS with six shutouts. His 0.77 goals against average is third in MLS, but first among keepers with at least 10 starts.

A welcomed sight on Wednesday night will be the return of Osvaldo Alonso to the Seattle midfield. The tenacious ballwinner who leads MLS with 71 tackles in 2012 has missed the past two MLS games due to suspension. Alonso has played the second-most games (94) for Sounders FC and the club is 46-21-27 with the Cuban midfielder on the pitch. Despite missing two matches, Alonso leads the team with 546 passes completed and an 81.1 passing percentage. He has played 90 minutes in all 11 appearances this season, and also added three goals in two Open Cup matches.

Since entering the league in 2009, Seattle has proved they can play with anyone in MLS. Sounders FC has improved its record every season since starting the inaugural campaign, finishing at 12-7-11. The club followed that up with a 14-10-6 mark in 2010, and last year posted its best record in franchise history at 18-7-9.

One thing that has been a constant for the Rave Green in their early history is playing well in front of its supporters. Sounders FC faithful have played their part as well, setting club attendance records for an MLS opener (39,232 vs. Toronto) and CONCACAF Champions League match (23,433 vs. Santos) this season. Seattle is 29-13-13 all-time in MLS matches at home with a plus-32 goal differential (83-51).

r o A d WA r r I o r S Despite a setback last weekend in Montreal, Sounders FC remains the league's top road team, and the Rave Green will have the opportunity provide further evidence of their road dominance as five of the next seven MLS matches are on the road, including three of the next four. Seattle will also play away from home in the U.S. Open Cup quarterfinal, totaling just two home games until August. Two of the longest trips of the season are coming up with visits New England (2,489) and New York (2,403). Overall, Seattle could travel 19,454 miles before the end of July, assuming all flights are round trips from Seattle. Sounders FC saw its 10-game (7-0-3) road undefeated streak snapped in Montreal. The run was the second-longest in league history, just two shy of FC Dallas' run of 12 games unbeaten on the road in 2010. Seattle went 9-3-5 away from home in 2011 - the best road record in MLS - for the fourth-best road winning percentage in league history (.676). Seattle has earned the second-most points (82) on the road since 2009, just one fewer than the league-leading L.A. Galaxy (83).

Since joining MLS in 2009, Sounders FC has been committed to playing an exciting, attacking style of soccer. The Rave Green led MLS with 56 goals in 2011 and are off to a fast start in 2012 with 16 goals in the first 13 games. The Seattle attack features goal scorers David Estrada, Fredy Montero and Eddie Johnson, creative set-up play with Mauro Rosales and Alvaro Fernandez, and timely contributors such as Osvaldo Alonso and Brad Evans, making Sounders FC one of the most potent attacks in MLS.
Fredy Montero burst onto the MLS scene in 2009, earning MLS Newcomer of the Year honors with 12 goals and seven assists. The Colombian striker followed up his freshman performance with 10 goals and 10 assists in 2010 and recorded a career-best 12 goals with nine assists last season. Montero is the only player in the MLS to rank in the top-10 in goals and assists the past three seasons (2009, 2010, 2011).

As Fredy Montero played his 100th MLS regular season game last Saturday, he further showed why he is among the league’s best foreign players of all time. The crafty young Colombian has tallied six goals with four assists in his past nine matches across all competitions. There have been just two matches since May 2 that Montero has appeared in without recording a goal or assist. He is the youngest player not born in the USA to have 38 goals and 30 assists at the time of his 100th appearance in league history. Only four other foreign players scored more goals and more assists in their first 100 games than Montero.
A decisive opening night victory was highlighted by the sudden success of an unsuspecting hero as David Estrada burst onto the MLS scene in his first league start at home on St. Patrick’s Day. It took the third-year forward just 17 minutes to find the netting at CenturyLink Field; the first tally of his MLS career. Estrada added two more before full time to seal the victory.

eJ S C o r e S Eddie Johnson’s tricky chip shot on Saturday provided the lone highlight in an uncharacteristic Sounders FC road defeat. Johnson ran onto a through ball from Fredy Montero and beat the oncoming keeper to the loose ball, chipping it over Donovan Ricketts for the team’s only goal. Johnson has now scored four goals in 748 minutes for an average of 0.48 goals per 90 minutes. He has already surpassed his season total in four of his previous seven MLS seasons and is currently tied with Montero with the second-most goals on the team.

M o r e M o n T e r o M A G I C : F r e d y h e AT I n G u P Fredy Montero did it again, scoring a brace against Cal FC to tie Nate Jaqua for the most Open Cup goals in club history. Montero finished a cross from Cordell Cato in the 58th minute, then 10 minutes later bent a 20-yard free kick around the defense and inside the far post. The brace gives him six goals and three assists over his last eight matches across all competitions. Montero’s strike against Vancouver on May 19 was the fourth time he has scored in the 90th minute or later in league play, including his free kick at Toronto (June 18, 2011), his stoppage time winner against Chicago (August 28, 2010) and his late tally versus D.C.

Scoring goals always makes the game more fun, and the start to the 2012 U.S. Open Cup provided Seattle with several entertaining moments. Sounders FC scored 10 goals through the first two Open Cup contests - the most goals ever scored by Seattle over two games in all competitions. In the first match the attack scored all five goals in just 22 minutes, only to surpass that mark a week later by netting five tallies in just 20 minutes, setting a club record for quickest five goals scored. The match against Cal FC also marked the first time Seattle scored five goals in a single half, and the five-goal margin of victory was the greatest in all competitions (previously four in MLS play). The fourthround match also marked the first time two Sounders FC players scored multiple goals in a single game.
Up next for Sounders FC is an Open Cup quarterfinal date with West foes San Jose Earthquakes. The match is slated for Tuesday, June 26 at Kezar Stadium in San Francisco. It will be the first time that Seattle and San Jose will meet in the Open Cup as MLS sides. The furthest that San Jose has gone in the tournament is the semifinals in 2004. The matchup is the only quarterfinal that features two MLS sides. The Earthquakes defeated the Fort Lauderdale Strikers (NASL), 2-1, in the third-round and downed the Minnesota Stars FC (NASL), 1-0, in the fourth-round. San Jose was the home team in both matches.

The past three years have supplied countless memories for the Sounders FC faithful, and perhaps the greatest times have been had in the Open Cup tournament. The 2009 title run included Roger Levesque’s first-minute goal at Portland followed by an unforgettable celebration, late goals from Nate Jaqua and Stephen King to advance past Houston in extra time, and an emotional win in the final at D.C. United. In 2010 Jaqua netted five goals in four games to earn Player of the Tournament honors, and Sanna Nyassi finished off the championship run with a brace in the final against the Columbus Crew. Last season it was Fredy Montero who stole the show, netting three game-winners in the final three matches, and Osvaldo Alonso put the icing on the cake with a wonderfully crafted goal in stoppage time in the final against Chicago.

The Montreal Impact defeated Sounders FC 4-1 Saturday night in the inaugural game at Stade Saputo. Eddie Johnson scored Seattle's lone goal and Patrice Bernier had three assists for Montreal. The loss for Sounders FC (7-4-3, 24 points) snapped a tenmatch road unbeaten streak, second best all-time in MLS, dating back to July 30, 2011. Montreal (4-7-3, 15 points) ended a three-match winless streak, and their four goals are the most in the franchise's short history. The Impact got on the board first in the 18th minute when Bernier found Felipe Martins near the top of the box on the left. Justin Mapp made it 2-0 in the 51st minute when Bernier played to him on the left side with a lot of space. Rookie Andrew Wenger put the home side up 3-0 in the 58th minute when he got behind the defense on a ball from Bernier and finished inside the near post. Two minutes before Wenger's goal, Seattle defender Jhon Kennedy Hurtado was issued a red card for a hard tackle, forcing Sounders FC to play the remainder of the game a man down. Johnson cut the lead to 3-1 for the Rave Green in the 61st minute when he got behind the defense on a ball from Fredy Montero. Alvaro Fernandez played to Montero, who then found Johnson. Johnson chipped the oncoming Donovan Ricketts for his fourth goal of the season. Lamar Neagle added the final tally for the Impact in the 87th minute. The Federal Way-native made a run up the left side and into the box, beat two defenders and finished inside the far post for his first goal of the season.
Seattle has started the season strong, posting a 7-3-3 record through the first 13 games, and it has not gone unnoticed by the MLS and its fans.

Sporting Kansas City News, Notes and headlines Results | Sporting Kansas City currently sits in second place of the Eastern Conference with a record of 9-3-1 (28 points) behind D.C. United. The team had a historic start to 2012, garnering seven straight wins to start the season. However, Kansas City experienced a slight decrease in their momentum losing three games in a row before earning a draw against Western Conference foe Colorado Rapids at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. The momentum is back in Kansas City’s favor as the team is most recently coming off two Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup victories and two straight MLS wins against the San Jose Earthquakes and Toronto FC. Sporting now has four straight wins in all competitions. The club already has nine wins this season after just 13 matches. It took them 25 games in 2011 until they got their ninth win on August 21. Kamara in Sierra Leone | While Sporting was playing in Kansas City on June 16, Kei Kamara was in Sierra Leone playing for his national team. He scored his first two international goals against Sao Tome and Principe. Sierra Leone won the match 4-2 and advanced in the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Kamara will re-join Sporting KC in Seattle. Against the West | Wednesday’s match against Seattle Sounders FC will be Sporting Kansas City’s last match against a Western Conference opponent during the 2012 regular season. Kansas City’s record thus far against Western Conference opponents is 6-1-1. Kansas City leads the Eastern Conference with their record against Western Conference opponents in 2012. Sporting KC’s only loss against a Western Conference team came in their fifth game in a span of 21 days when they faced the Portland Timbers at JELD-WEN Field. The lone goal of the match was the result of an own-goal. Against Seattle | After six meetings with Seattle, Sporting Kansas City holds a 1-5-0 record. Their only win came in the their first meeting on April 11, 2009 at Qwest Field. However, all six meetings were one goal games. With a win on Wednesday, Sporting Kansas City will break their fivegame losing streak against the Sounders.
Six for All-Star | Sporting KC has six players up for the AT&T MLS All-Star Game of 2012.

Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup | Sporting Kansas City advanced to the Quarterfinals of the Open Cup after garnering victories against Orlando City SC and the Colorado Rapids in the third and fourth rounds respectively. Sporting KC hosted Orlando City SC at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park on May 29th at 7:30pm earning the 3-2 victory on a goal from Paulo Nagamura followed by two more from Michigan native Soony Saad. A week later Kansas City was home again in the fortress that is LIVESTRONG Sporting Park as they defeated familiar MLS foe, the Colorado Rapids 2-0. Sporting KC defender Aurelien Collin was able to get on the end of a Graham Zusi freekick. Collin’s header was initially blocked by Rapids goalkeeper Matt Pickens, but his slight touch only guided the ball into the post before bouncing off the back of his head and into the back of the net to give Sporting KC the 1-0 lead. Teal Bunbury added an insurance goal in the 79th minute to boost Sporting KC’s lead to two, where it would stand at the final whistle. The Quarterfinals will be held on June 26th against the Dayton Dutch Lions at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park at 7:30pm.
