#SKCvCOL: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City (5-3-2, 17 pts.) returns to the friendly confines of Children’s Mercy Park this Wednesday night, taking on the Colorado Rapids (5-2-1, 16 pts.). Sporting is looking to bounce back after Saturday night’s frustrating 2-1 road defeat against the Portland Timbers that snapped a four-game unbeaten run (3-0-1). It’s a top of the table clash as Sporting currently occupies second place in the Western Conference, with the Rapids one point back in third place. Sporting last hosted the Rapids on Oct. 24, 2020, earning a comfortable 4-0 victory at Children’s Mercy Park. After a scoreless first half, Alan Pulido gave the hosts the lead before Andreu Fontas doubled the advantage. Late goals from Gadi Kinda and Gerso Fernandes put the cherry on the scoreline. In their last visit to Colorado on Aug. 29, 2020 Sporting and the Rapids traded second half goals with Cole Bassett giving the hosts the lead before Gianluca Busio rifled home from long range to salvage a point for Sporting KC. Sporting also topped Colorado 3-2 during last year’s MLS is Back Tournament Group Stage. Kellyn Acosta gave the Rapids the lead before Khiry Shelton equalized shortly after Danny Wilson had been sent off. Pulido gave SKC the lead from the penalty spot before Jack Price was sent off to reduce the Rapids to nine men. Undeterred, Colorado made it 2-2 late on through Jonathan Lewis, but Graham Zusi fired home the winner in stoppage time to seal all three points for Sporting KC. SKC leads the all-time series 27-24-16, including a dominant 21-6-5 mark at home.

Sporting KC Game Notes | June 23, 2021 vs. Colorado Rapids | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes UNBEATEN RUN SNAPPED IN PORTLAND

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

NIELSEN SET FOR SPORTING LEGENDS INDUCTION

Second-place Sporting Kansas City (5-3-2, 17 pts.) saw their four-game unbeaten streak (3-0-1) snapped this past weekend when the side fell to a frustrating 2-1 defeat against the Portland Timbers at Providence Park on Saturday night. Sporting looks to bounce back against the third-place Colorado Rapids (5-2-1, 16 pts.) on Wednesday night.

During this Wednesday’s match against the Colorado Rapids at Children’s Mercy Park, the Sporting Legends Hall of Honor will see another name etched into history, as former goalkeeper and MLS Cup champion Jimmy Nielsen will be inducted ahead of the highlyanticipated clash. Nielsen was originally announced as the newest Sporting Legend on May 24.

Sporting KC will walk away disappointed with Saturday’s result having controlled proceedings for the majority of the match with two-thirds of possession and a 19-7 edge in shots at the home of longtime Western power Portland.

Nielsen, who famously captained Sporting to the 2012 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and 2013 MLS Cup titles, is the 11th club icon to join Sporting Legends, an initiative launched in 2013 that pays tribute to all-time greats while providing a platform for inductees to engage with the Kansas City community. Nielsen was selected through an online ballot of write-in votes submitted by fans.

To illustrate just how rare it was for the Timbers to be laid under siege in their own home... Portland have played 168 regular season home matches at Providence Park since joining MLS in 2011. Their minus-12 shot discrepancy was the second-lowest in a regular season home game, their four chances created were fourth-lowest, and their 34.8% possession was sixth-lowest.

Sporting Legends Inductees 2013: Bob Gansler, Tony Meola, Preki 2014: Jimmy Conrad, Lamar Hunt, Peter Vermes 2015: Chris Klein 2016: Kerry Zavagnin 2017: Mo Johnston 2019: Josh Wolff 2021: Jimmy Nielsen

Sporting will now take on a Colorado Rapids side led by protagonist and former Sporting forward Diego Rubio who leads the team with three goals - all of which have been game-winners, including one against FC Cincinnati on Saturday night. The tables have turned in the series between the two sides over the past six years, as SKC went 6-0-5 against Colorado from 2009-2015, but the Rapids have gone 7-4-3 in the series since August 2015. Sporting have faced the Rapids more than any other team in MLS regular-season history (81 matches) and took the season series 2-0-1 in 2020.

Like the previous 10 Sporting Legends inductees, Nielsen will have his name adorned outside The Victory Suite in the northwest corner of Children’s Mercy Park. A new UMB Sporting Legends Pylon will also be erected at the stadium, showcasing three Nielsen memorabilia items from Sporting’s 2013 MLS Cup victory over Real Salt Lake: the iconic pink goalkeeper jersey and rib protector he wore in the match as well as the printed scouting report he used during a victorious penalty shootout in which he made two pivotal saves.

RIGHTING THE SHIP vs. RAPIDS

Sporting Kansas City will look to continue their fine home form in 2021 as the team prepares to host the Colorado Rapids at Children’s Mercy Park on Wednesday night. Sporting (5-3-2, 17 pts.) sits just one point ahead of the Rapids (5-2-1, 16 pts.) in second place in the Western Conference.

FOUR PLAYERS NAMED TO PRELIMINARY GOLD CUP ROSTERS

Sporting last played host to the Colorado Rapids on Oct. 24, 2020, cruising to a 4-0 victory following a second half barrage of offense. Following a scoreless first half, Alan Pulido fired Sporting into the lead early in the second period, before Andreu Fontas doubled the lead midway through the half with his first-ever MLS goal for the club. Gadi Kinda and Gerso Fernandes each tallied late on to complete the rout.

Sporting Kansas City quartet Gianluca Busio, Roger Espinoza, Tim Melia and Alan Pulido were named to the preliminary Concacaf Gold Cup rosters for their respective countries late last week. The Gold Cup will feature five games played at Children’s Mercy Park in Kansas City from July 11-18. The final 23-player rosters will be announced prior to the start of the competition on July 2.

Sporting had earlier visited Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on Aug. 29, 2020, clawing their way back from a one-goal deficit to earn a point. Cole Bassett gave the hosts the lead in the 57th minute but Gianluca Busio’s low strike from distance 10 minutes later earned the visitors a share of the points.

Sporting KC midfielder Gianluca Busio and goalkeeper Tim Melia have been selected by head coach Gregg Berhalter for the U.S. Men’s National Team’s provisional list, marking the first time either player has been announced to a full USMNT roster. Sporting Kansas City forward Alan Pulido will be in contention to represent Mexico at a Gold Cup tournament for the first time in his distinguished career as part of head coach Tata Martino’s preliminary squad, while veteran Sporting KC midfielder Roger Espinoza has been named to Honduras’ player pool after representing his country at the 2010 and 2014 FIFA World Cups as well as the 2012 Summer Olympics.

The two sides had previously faced off in a wild contest during the MLS is Back Tournament Group Stage, with Sporting earning a 3-2 victory following goals from Khiry Shelton, Pulido and Graham Zusi in a match that saw the Rapids reduced to nine men following red cards to Danny Wilson and Jack Price.

The Gold Cup is the region’s flagship international tournament, featuring men’s national teams from across North America, Central America and the Caribbean. First contested in 1991 and taking place every two years, the Gold Cup crowns the confederation’s champion and the 16th edition will be played from July 2-Aug. 1 in eight U.S. markets.

Sporting leads the all-time regular-season series with Colorado 27-24-16, including a dominant 21-6-5 mark at home.

LINDSEY CONTINUES BREAKOUT SEASON

POSTGAME PV

Sporting Kansas City right back Jaylin Lindsey continued his fine form in the 2021 MLS season by opening the scoring during Saturday night’s disappointing 2-1 loss on the road against the Portland Timbers at Providence Park. Lindsey smashed home Alan Pulido’s cross midway through the first half to give the visitors a momentary lead.

On conceding twice at the end of the first half vs. Portland: “You don’t want that to happen. We were in a good position at 1-0. Giving up two goals like we did, it changed the game. We were already dominating them at their own place and we had the ball a lot and we were moving it well. We were dictating a lot of the game and we did it for the whole game really. Two very good lessons for us today, but I’m very proud of the guys because we dominated the game with the ball. We created a lot of opportunities too. I’m not going to say they were high quality. There were some good chances there. There were a few quality chances there we could have maybe snuck in. It was a little bit difficult, but I think the guys played really, really well – especially away from home.”

Lindsey’s goal made him just the second defender in Kansas City history to score in back-to-back regular season road matches. Lindsey accomplished the feat 10 years after Frenchman Aurelien Collin became the first defender to do it. Collin actually scored in three straight regular season road appearances from June 12 to July 16 in 2011, but only two of his goals - the ones on July 2 and July 16 - came in consecutive away games for the club.

On what needs to be solved looking ahead to Colorado: “All aspects for us, week after week, are worked on so it’s not one thing or another. The obvious thing is you don’t want to give up goals and you want to score your chances. Those are easy ones. I have faith in the team on both sides of the ball. Those things will continue to be worked just like they are normally.”

Ike Opara also scored in back-to-back road appearances on May 19 and July 20 in 2013, but Sporting played a handful of away matches between those two dates. The 21-year-old Homegrown defender has now tallied two goals and three assists while playing as both a right back and left back for Sporting KC since his debut in the middle of the 2018 campaign. Lindsey missed most of the 2019 season after undergoing meniscus surgery in March of that season before returning in style during the 2020 season, helping Sporting finish in first place in the West.

On the play of Jaylin Lindsey and the team’s depth at right back: “We have a solid rotation of players there. We have good depth. We have two guys that can really play the position well and a third guy who is up and coming. The future is bright there.”

Sporting enjoyed an impressive display from one of their other Homegrown stars on Saturday night, as Felipe Hernandez, on his first start of the season, had three total shots and set single-game career-highs in passes (33), passes successful (27) and 12 combined tackles (three) and duels (nine). 4

Sporting KC Game Notes | June 23, 2021 vs. Colorado Rapids | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes Manager & Sporting Director | 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 13th season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2021 and is the longest-tenured active head coach in MLS. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 195 coaching victories in all competitions are the most club history. During his tenure, he has won four major trophies – the 2012, 2015 and 2017 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups and the 2013 MLS Cup championship – and finished atop the Eastern Conference regularseason standings in 2011 and 2012, as well as the Western Conference in 2018 and 2020. His three U.S. Open Cup championships are the third most in Open Cup history. He is the first coach in club history to lead Sporting KC to eight straight postseason appearances, as well as the only person to ever win the MLS Cup as both a player and a coach with the same team. His 160 regular-season wins top the club’s all-time chart and rank fifth most in MLS history. He passed his former coach Bob Gansler as the winningest manager in team history with a 3-1 win over Real Salt Lake on Aug. 12, 2015, his 109th victory in all competitions.

He started his professional career with the New York/New Jersey MetroStars, where he played in 39 games over two seasons. After spending one season with the Lehigh Valley Steam (USL-1), Zavagnin came to Kansas City in 2000. He played 237 games (228 starts) and logged 20,516 minutes for Kansas City, setting team records in both categories before both were overtaken by Matt Besler early in 2018. He scored eight goals and added 22 assists in his nine seasons in Kansas City blue. Zavagnin was named Team Defender of the Year in 2001.

On August 4, 2018, Vermes coached his 302nd MLS regular-season game with Sporting KC, becoming the league’s all-time leader in games coached for one club. He was named the first-ever MLS Sporting Executive of the Year by his peers in 2018. Vermes has coached 451 total games during his Kansas City coaching career, most in club history.

On top of his club success in Kansas City, Zavagnin also appeared 21 times for the United States Men’s National Team. He recorded one assist for the U.S., who went 15-2-4 when Zavagnin featured. He married his wife Mirriam prior to the 2009 season, when he became an assistant coach at the club.

With over 13 years of service at Sporting KC, Vermes is one of the longest serving managers in world soccer. Among all 18 leagues with an average attendance of 10,000+, Vermes ranks second, only behind 2. Bundesliga side FC Heidenheim’s Frank Schmidt (Sept. 17, 2007 – present). Among the top 51 leagues in the world as denoted by the CIES Football Observatory, Vermes’ tenure at Sporting KC ranks as the eighth longest active run.

Assistant Coach | Zoran Savic Assistant Coach Zoran Savic joined Sporting Kansas City late in the 2009 season after a 30-year career at all levels of the game in the United States. A native of Gornji Milanovac, Yugoslavia, Savic began his journey through American soccer with the Buffalo Stallions of the Major Indoor Soccer League in 1980. Savic would go on to star for several MISL teams, with his most prosperous period coming with the Kansas City Comets, with whom he scored 70 goals in just over 100 appearances from 1982-1984.

Vermes oversees all soccer operations for Sporting KC, including the active roster, Sporting Kansas City II (USL Championship) and the Sporting KC Academy. Vermes entered MLS ahead of its inaugural season in 1996 and retired from the league in 2002, closing out his playing career in Kansas City after stints with the New York/New Jersey MetroStars and Colorado Rapids.

After retiring as a player in 1991, Savic turned his attention to coaching in the indoor game. Savic led the Kansas City Attack from 1992-1996, winning Coach of the Year honors for the 1994-1995 season while also serving as the team’s General Manager. Savic later coached the Kansas City Comets from 2000-2005.

Following a standout high school career in which he was named New Jersey Player of the Year, Vermes was a star forward and All-American at Rutgers University. After college, Vermes represented the United States in the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea, and was named 1988 Chevrolet U.S. Male Soccer Athlete of the Year for his efforts.

In 2007 Savic switched to the outdoor game, joining Chivas USA as an assistant to then-head coach Preki before moving into the commentary booth for Kansas City matches in 2008 and 2009. Savic’s career as a commentator was cut short, however, when newly installed Manager Peter Vermes tabbed Savic to be part of his coaching staff late in the 2009 season.

Vermes was an integral part of a young U.S. team at the 1990 World Cup in Italy, where he nearly scored against the host Azzurri. It was the first time the U.S. had qualified for the World Cup in 40 years and set the stage for the progress of the U.S. National Team. In 1989 and 1990, Vermes became the first American to play in the Hungarian and Dutch First Divisions, playing for Raba ETO and FC Volendam, respectively. He later spent five years with Figueres of the Spanish Second Division.

Goalkeeper Coach | Alec Dufty Goalkeeper coach Alec Dufty is in his fifth season with Sporting Kansas City having been introduced to the organization as the Sporting KC II goalkeeper coach in the side’s inaugural season in 2016. In his first season working with Sporting KC’s goalkeepers, starting goalkeeper Tim Melia enjoyed a record-breaking season where he was named the 2017 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year.

For MLS’s inaugural season in 1996, Vermes served as captain of the New York/New Jersey MetroStars. In 1997, he was traded to the Colorado Rapids for current Sporting KC Assistant Coach Kerry Zavagnin and played in Denver through the 1999 season, leading the Rapids to the 1997 MLS Cup Final. Vermes joined Kansas City in 2000 for what would be the most successful season of his MLS career. During his first year in Kansas City, he anchored one of the best defenses in league history and won MLS Defender of the Year honors in helping lead the Wizards to the 2000 MLS Cup Championship. He retired in 2002 after appearing in 209 MLS matches (including playoffs) and playing more than 18,000 minutes. In 2013, Vermes was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame. Year

A former MLS player, Dufty began his playing career with the New York Red Bulls in 2009, making one appearance before joining the MLS reserve goalkeeper pool. In 2010, Dufty joined USSF D2 Pro League side AC St. Louis, making 30 appearances before returning to MLS with the Chicago Fire in late 2010. He announced his retirement at the conclusion of the 2011 season. Dufty then took to coaching, first working with Florida Gulf Coast University and then the University of Illinois at Chicago. In 2015, Dufty served as goalkeeper coach for Toronto FC II in their inaugural USL season.

NEWS & NOTES VICTORIOUS VISITORS The Colorado Rapids have won nine road games under Robin Fraser since his first game at the helm on Aug. 31, 2019, which are the most in MLS in that time. Colorado is 9-6-2 (W-L-D) away from home under Fraser, and their 1.71 points per game on the road are the most in MLS. The Rapids are one of just two teams in MLS to post three clean sheets on the road so far this season (Philadelphia).

SINCE WE LAST MET Since the Rapids and Sporting KC last met on Oct. 24, 2020, the Rapids are 8-3-1 (W-L-D) in regular season play and have outscored their opponents, 21-12, in that span. Colorado has posted five shutouts in that time, including four on the road.

STRONG-WILLED GK William Yarbrough made seven saves in Saturday’s 2-0 win at FC Cincinnati, marking the second straight game that Yarbrough posted a season-high save count after making six saves on May 29 at FC Dallas. Yarbrough and the Rapids haven’t allowed a goal since the 33rd minute at Los Angeles FC on May 22, a stretch of 237 minutes and the longest active streak without conceding a goal in the league. The two-time Liga MX champion is currently tied for the most clean sheets in the league.

SWEET LEW F Jonathan Lewis scored his first goal of the season in Saturday’s 2-0 win at FC Cincinnati. The 24-year-old finished captain Jack Price’s through ball smoothly with his left foot from a sharp angle in the 72nd minute. The goal was Lewis’ 11th since joining the Rapids via trade in May 2019. The Plantation, Fla., native was Colorado’s co-leading scorer with five goals in 2020, alongside M Cole Bassett.

NOTES & MILESTONES • F Michael Barrios is fifth in MLS with 44 touches in the opponent’s box. The 30-year-old Colombian has two goals and three assists in his last four games. • F Diego Rubio’s next appearance will be his 51st in MLS with Colorado, which will match his total from three years at Sporting KC. From 2016 to 2018, Rubio scored 15 goals and added eight assists for SKC. Since joining the Rapids ahead of 2019, Rubio has 17 goals and 10 assists. • D Keegan Rosenberry’s next appearance will be his 60th with Colorado in MLS. The 27-year-old has three goals and six assists since joining the Rapids ahead of the 2019 season. • D Auston Trusty’s next start will be the 70th of his MLS career. The 22-year-old has two goals and two assists in 72 appearances since his rookie year in 2018. Trusty has started all eight games this season, matching his appearance total from 2020. • The Rapids have outscored their opponents 6-0 since their last goal conceded. F Michael Barrios scored his first goal of the season at LAFC on May 22 before the Rapids defeated FC Dallas, 3-0, and FC Cincinnati, 2-0. • M/F Braian Galván made his 2021 debut in Saturday’s win at Cincinnati. The 20-year-old Argentine came on for D Sam Vines in the 90th minute to make his 10th appearance with Colorado since joining the club in July 2020.

THE RAPIDS WAY

“

“Who are we? What do we stand for? What do we want to achieve? These are perhaps the most important questions that any organization can ask itself, in large part because answering them truthfully requires complete honesty. It also requires committing to a strong set of values, acknowledging shortcomings, and perhaps most importantly, it requires looking ahead to the future.”

Read “The Rapids Way”

“We want to be a high-intensity team that is willing to take calculated risks in the right areas of the field — but all the while maintaining the defensive discipline that is part and parcel to who we are, and always have been.” “In short, we’ll hold tight to the things that this club stands for, but we must find evolution in the areas that we aspire to improve.”

Pádraig Smith and Wayne Brant

DICK’S SPORTING GOODS PARK DICK’S Sporting Goods Park has hosted some iconic games since it opened on April 7, 2007. Herculez Gomez scored the first MLS goal in the stadium as the Rapids defeated D.C. United, 2-1. DSGP hosted the MLS All-Star Game in 2007, against Celtic FC of Scotland, and again in 2015 against English giants Tottenham Hotspur FC. The U.S. Men’s and Women’s National Teams have enjoyed great success in Commerce City, with both the men and women boasting undefeated records. On March 22, 2013, the USMNT hosted Costa Rica in a 2014 FIFA World Cup Qualifier, known today as “Snow Clasico,” a 1-0 U.S. victory played in a blizzard. The Rapids have played in two Snow Clasicos; first in a 2-1 win over New York Red Bulls in 2016. Then in March 2019, Colorado hosted Portland Timbers in the coldest match in MLS history, regular season or playoffs, with a kickoff temperature of just 18o F. The Rapids have scored in 28 consecutive MLS matches at DICK’S Sporting Goods Park since Oct. 28, 2018, the longest active home scoring streak in the league.

COACHING STAFF Robin Fraser is in his second full season as Colorado Rapids head coach after being named the club’s ninth permanent manager on Aug. 25, 2019. The Rapids won five of their last seven games to close out the season, and Fraser quickly become one of the most successful head coaches in recent club history. Through Fraser’s first 25 games at the helm, Colorado scored 47 goals, won 13 matches and picked up 43 points – all the most by a Rapids head coach through his first 25 games in charge since the introduction of draws to MLS in 2000. In 2020, Fraser led the Rapids to a fifth-place finish in the Western Conference and their first MLS Cup Playoffs appearance in four years.

Fraser has fostered the development of a young roster and overseen the emergence of some of the league’s rising stars.

In January 2021, forward Jonathan Lewis joined Acosta and Vines as starters for the USMNT in a 7-0 friendly win against Trinidad & Tobago in which Acosta assisted Lewis on one of two goals, and Vines also picked up an assist. Prior to joining Colorado, Fraser, 54, spent five seasons as an assistant coach for Toronto FC from 2015 to 2019, helping the club win the first domestic treble in MLS history by winning the Canadian Championship, the MLS Supporters’ Shield and MLS Cup in 2017.
