Sporting KC Game Notes | June 26, 2021 vs. Los Angeles FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #SKCvLAFC: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#SKCvLAFC: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City will look to continue their fine home form when the side plays host to Los Angeles FC at Children’s Mercy Park on Saturday afternoon. Sporting are an unbeaten 4-0-2 at home this season, and the club’s regular-season home unbeaten streak stretches back nine games to September 2020. Sporting is currently in second place in the West with a 6-3-2 (20 pts.) record, while LAFC are just outside of the playoff spots in eighth with a 3-3-3 (12 pts.) mark. Sporting KC last met LAFC on July 3, 2019 at Children’s Mercy Park. In the midst of what was a season to forget for Sporting, it was the best season in LAFC’s history as the side won the Supporters’ Shield at a canter. That gulf was on display at Children’s Mercy Park, as LAFC earned a 5-1 victory with Christian Ramirez, Diego Rossi, Carlos Vela, Rodolfo Zelaya and Mohamed El-Munir all getting on the scoresheet, with SKC’s Yohan Croizet breifly pulling one back for the hosts. SKC had opened the 2019 MLS regular season with a road game at Banc of California Stadium on March 3. Sporting started brightly and took the lead midway through the first half when Krisztian Nemeth side-footed home off Johnny Russell’s cutback. However, LAFC came roaring back in the second half and equalized through Diego Rossi before Adama Diomande broke SKC hearts with a winner in the 94th minute. The all-time series between the two teams is locked at 2-2-0 with Sporting winning both matches during LAFC’s expansion season in 2018 - including a 2-1 home victory on Decision Day that clinched top spot in the West over LAFC - before the California side got the better of Sporting on both occassions in 2019. #SKCvLAFC: Recent Meetings (Series tied 2-2-0 in regular season)

Sporting KC Game Notes | June 26, 2021 vs. Los Angeles FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

LOOKING TO MAINTAIN FINE HOME FORM

HERNANDEZ HIGHLIGHTS ACADEMY PRODUCTION

Second-place Sporting Kansas City (6-3-2, 20 pts.) extended their home unbeaten streak in 2021 to six games (4-0-2) following Wednesday night’s 3-1 victory over the Colorado Rapids at Children’s Mercy Park. Sporting is unbeaten in nine regular-season home matches (7-0-2) dating back to early October 2020. Sporting are set to take on a talented yet inconsistent Los Angeles FC (3-3-3, 12 pts.) side at Children’s Mercy Park on Saturday afternoon, with the California side in eighth in the Western Conference.

Sporting KC Academy product Felipe Hernandez enjoyed his best night as a member of the first team on Wednesday, tallying a goal and the game-winning assist as Sporting cruised to a 3-1 victory over the Colorado Rapids at Children’s Mercy Park. Hernandez is the first player to follow Sporting’s Pro Player Pathway through every step, having first been recruited through an Academy Affiliate in Nashville before joining the SKC Academy, signing a professional contract with Sporting KC II and eventually a Homegrown contract with Sporting KC in late 2019.

Just under a third of the way through the 2021 campaign, Sporting have plenty on which they can hang their hats. Wednesday’s comprehensive victory was another step in the right direction for a team that appears capable of contending for silverware in the months to come. Consider the following:

While fellow Academy product Daniel Salloi will get the headlines following his twogoal-one-assist performance, there were several bright lights for the SKC Academy to go around. In defense, right back Jaylin Lindsey picked up an assist on Salloi’s early opener. Elsewhere, Gianluca Busio logged 90 minutes in midfield while Cam Duke and Kaveh Rad helped clinch the result with second-half substitute appearances.

• With a 6-3-2 record, Sporting are on pace for 62 points in the regular season. That would be the second-most in team history behind a 2012 campaign that yielded 63 points. • Sporting’s 20 goals and 23.4 expected goals are the most in MLS. Their expected goal total is almost six more than any other team. • Sporting has now scored in a club-record 21 straight regular season home matches dating back to Aug. 10, 2019. • Sporting has scored three goals in four of their last six matches, all of which have resulted in victory.

By the end of the evening, the Academy connection beamed more resoundingly than ever. • For the final 23 minutes on Wednesday, Sporting had six Academy products in a match for the first time in club history. • Academy products accounted for six combined goals and assists, the most in a match in club history. Homegrowns scored and assisted on all three Sporting goals. • Academy products have scored 11 of Sporting’s 20 goals and six of the team’s 16 assists this season.

Sporting Manager Peter Vermes was named MLS Coach of the Week on Thursday following Wednesday night’s performance.

FIRST OF TWO LA MATCHUPS

FOUR PLAYERS NAMED TO PRELIMINARY GOLD CUP ROSTERS

Sporting has not faced off against LAFC since midway through the 2019 campaign. Sporting KC fell to a rough 5-1 loss at Children’s Mercy Park on July 3, 2019, with Christian Ramirez, Diego Rossi, Carlos Vela, Rodolfo Zelaya and Mohamed El-Munir all tallying for the visitors, with SKC’s Yohan Croizet briefly pulling one back for his side in the second half.

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.

Sporting Kansas City is set to experience some West Coast flavor over the next two weekends, as the team prepares to face off against Los Angeles’ two MLS clubs in backto-back matches. First up is Saturday against Los Angeles FC at Children’s Mercy Park, before Sporting heads West to take on the LA Galaxy at Dignity Health Sports Park on Sunday, July 4.

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.

The two sides had opened the 2019 MLS season against one another, with Sporting falling to a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat at Banc of California Stadium on March 3, 2019. Krisztian Nemeth gave Sporting the lead only for LAFC to roar back in the second half and equalize through Rossi before Adama Diomande netted the game-winner in secondhalf stoppage time.

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.

The all-time series between the two teams is knotted at 2-2-0, with Sporting winning both contests during LAFC’s expansion season in 2018 - including a 2-1 home victory on Decision Day that clinched top spot in the West for SKC over LAFC. Sporting is currently in second in the West with a 6-3-2 (20 pts.) record, while LAFC sits just outside of the playoff spots in eighth with a 3-3-3 (12 pts.) mark.

POSTGAME PV

Thoughts on the match vs. Colorado: “Like always, (Colorado was) a difficult opponent but had a little wrinkle – they played five in the back. We thought it was going to be difficult. It was. I’m proud of the guys. We found the solutions in the game. I thought we were really good defensively. But I also think part of that is what we were so good with the ball. We kept our mindset focused and concentrated on not giving up the ball in dangerous areas. We showed a lot of composure today. We broke out of some really high pressure by them. Our movement of the ball, our play, our movement off the ball – it created again some high quality chances which we finished. That’s the difference in the game.”

SALLOI CEMENTING REPUTATION AS LETHAL FORWARD

Sporting Kansas City forward Daniel Salloi has been on a tear to start the 2021 MLS season, adding to his offensive production on Wednesday night when he tallied two goals and an assist in a dominant 3-1 victory over the Colorado Rapids at Children’s Mercy Park. The performance earned Salloi a nomination for MLS Player of the Week and a spot on the MLS Team of the Week.

On the play of Felipe Hernandez: “It’s important when these young guys get their opportunities that they contribute. It’s one thing to contribute in a meaningful way when you talk about helping the team in playing well. But it’s another thing in making sure you help the team in getting three points. I’m happy for him. He scored a goal. It was a good goal. But at the same time, I thought he just played very, very well in the game. That’s what we need. We need those kinds of performances from those guys when they come on the field. That’s the only way that they’re going to grow. That’s the only way that they’re going to continue to get better for the club. The other thing too is that they’re starting to understand the responsibility that they have when they step inside the white lines for this club because it means something. You have to be ready go and it’s not just about getting on the field. It’s about going and contributing.”

The Sporting KC Academy product was at his unplayable best on Wednesday evening, dynamic in possession and active off the ball while constantly finding gaps in the Colorado defense. In a man of the match performance, Salloi bagged a first-half brace with goals in the 14th and 38th minutes before setting up Sporting’s third in the 64th. The Hungary-born forward has been one of the most effective attacking players in MLS this season. After all, the numbers speak for themselves. • Salloi ranks third in MLS with six goals, behind only Seattle’s Raul Ruidiaz and the LA Galaxy’s Chicharito who have eight apiece. • Salloi is tied for second in MLS with nine combined goals (six) and assists (three), behind only Carles Gil who has one goal and 10 assists. • Salloi leads MLS this season with 66 touches in the opponent’s box, an indication of his ability to find and exploit dangerous spaces as Sporting looks to break down the opponent. Salloi has now scored 29 goals to go along with 13 assists in all competitions for Sporting KC since making his debut midway through the 2017 campaign. 4

Sporting KC Game Notes | June 26, 2021 vs. Los Angeles FC | 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 196 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 161 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 452 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.
