SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs COLUMBUS CREW SPORTING PARK, Kansas City, Kan. June 29, 2013 (WEEK 18, MLS Game #157) 7:30 p.m. CT (KSMO; FS-OH) Sporting Kansas City will be looking to reestablish its home form when long-time rivals Columbus Crew come calling on Saturday evening at Sporting Park. SKC is winless in its last four league games overall, and hasn’t won at home in nearly two months, after a 2-2 draw at FC Dallas last weekend. The Crew hit the road following a 2-1 loss to the Chicago Fire last weekend at Crew Stadium. REFEREE: Juan Guzman.

Sporting are in a tie for fourth place in the Eastern Conference with 23 points from 15 matches. LAST MATCH  Sporting took the lead from the penalty spot two minutes before halftime. Even though SKC center back Aurélien Collin knocked home a rebound following a scramble in the area after a free kick, referee Mark Geiger waved off the goal and awarded a penalty kick for a foul by FCD's Andrew Jacobson. Kei Kamara ensured KC would lead by converting from the spot.  Sporting doubled their lead early in the second half when Graham Zusi sent in a corner from the left and the ball took a bounce before ricocheting off FCD midfielder Je-Vaughn Watson and into the goal.  The hosts were given a lifeline in the 68th minute when KC's C.J. Sapong was sent off for knocking a ball onto fallen Jacobson during a stoppage in play.  FC Dallas took advantage to start their comeback in the 88th minute. Ramon Nuñez floated in a cross from the left side of the box that Jacobson flicked past Sporting KC goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen with a glancing header.  Two minutes later, Walker Zimmerman scored his first professional goal off a freekick sent in by David Ferreira from the right corner to secure a share of the points.  Sporting manager Peter Vermes made four changes to the team that suffered a 2-1 loss to the Montréal Impact at Sporting Park. Matt Besler and Chance Myers came into the back four for Ike Opara and Seth Sinovic, and Graham Zusi and C.J. Sapong came into the team for Peterson Joseph and Jacob Peterson.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Jimmy Nielsen - Mechack Jerome, Aurelien Collin, Matt Besler, Chance Myers - Oriol Rosell (Jacob Peterson 88), Paulo Nagamura (Lawrence Olum 56) - Graham Zusi - Kei Kamara, Claudio Bieler (Teal Bunbury 74), C.J. Sapong (sent off 68).

MLS GAME INFORMATION

LAST MATCH  Sporting KC saw their winless streak extended to four games with their third draw in that time after the FC Dallas comeback in Frisco.  “They're the team with the most points in the league at this point, unbeaten at home, and we're leading 2-0 until we went a man down,” SKC manager Peter Vermes said. “We did a good job to get out of here with a point. I'm not saying that's where we wanted to be.”  It was the fourth time this season SKC failed to take the full points after scoring first (5-2-2 in those games), matching the most times in MLS this year. Three of those games have come during the winless run.  “We didn’t give much away. We were managing the game really well. At that point, obviously, we got the red card and then they were throwing a lot of numbers forward,” Vermes said. “It’s disappointing from the perspective we put a lot of good work into the game and we had good control of it. That part was disappointing.”  Sporting scored for a second consecutive game from a penalty kick. The last SKC player to score from run of play came May 26, when Kei Kamara scored his first goal in his return.  Kamara made his second consecutive start and scored his second goal since his return from loan to Norwich City FC of the English Premier League.  “It doesn’t matter if we’re playing at home or away. We’re a team that goes at it. We’re not going to sit back and wait for anyone,” said Kamara. “Unfortunately, we got the red card which made us sit back a bit but we were still able to go forward and Dallas knows that. But those were three points for us to take home and we just gave it away to them. It feels like a defeat to us.”  C.J. Sapong made his first start since May 8, having played just 16 minutes in league play since, but will certainly miss the Columbus game through suspension.  Teal Bunbury made his league season debut, coming on for the final 16 minutes. Bunbury had played in the U.S. Open Cup match vs. Orlando City SC.  “He’s getting there. It’s really minutes. Even that was a far stretch for him, getting 20 minutes. He was really starting to suck wind there the last five minutes of the game because it wound up being 25 because of the extra time,” said Vermes. “But, he is coming along. He is. The good thing is he’s back.”  Chance Myers made his first start since May 8, coming back in at right back, and Graham Zusi and Matt Besler returned from international duty after missing the Montréal match. COLUMBUS CREW The Columbus Crew couldn’t make it back-to-back wins at home, the Chicago Fire coming back from an early deficit to record a 2-1 win Saturday evening at Crew Stadium. The Crew are in a tie for sixth place in the Eastern Conference with 20 points from 16 matches. LAST MATCH  The Crew were staked to an early lead. Dominic Oduro stripped defender Austin Berry and dribbled into the box, but goalkeeper Sean Johnson got a piece of Oduro as he tried to round. Federico Higuaín promptly converted from the penalty spot by drilling the ball under Johnson's outstretched left arm.  But the Fire took control with two goals in three minutes shortly after the second-half restart. In the 52nd minute, Dilly Duka tied the match by getting past defender Josh Williams at the far post and getting his foot onto a service from the left flank by Joel Lindpere.  The game-winner then came in the 54th minute when Mike Magee beat Williams to chest home a Lindpere cross from the left corner to extend his goal streak since joining the Fire to six games in all competitions.  Crew head coach Robert Warzycha made one change to the team that defeated the Montréal Impact 2-0 at Crew Stadium. Jairo Arrieta came into the team in place of Ben Speas.  COLUMBUS CREW (4-4-1-1): Andy Gruenebaum - Chad Barson (Justin Meram 88), Josh Williams, Chad Marshall, Tyson Wahl - Bernardo Anor, Danny O'Rourke, Matias Sanchez (Aaron Schoenfeld 80), Jairo Arrieta - Federico Higuain - Dominic Oduro. TEAM NEWS  The Crew suffered their third loss in their last five league games at Crew Stadium in the defeat by the Chicago Fire.  “We lost again at home where we are supposed to be winning. Sometimes the fortune is not going right. We were so successful for so many years winning the games at home,” said Crew head coach Robert Warzycha. “We have to build our fortress again. We have to make sure we don't lose the game here.”  Of the Crew’s last five goals, three have come from the penalty spot. The Crew lead MLS with four penalty goals from five attempts (the attempts tied for the league lead with the LA Galaxy).  “We're working on the first touch and turning on the ball because if you're good at that, it gives you more time to look at the goal,” Warzycha said. “We also have to make better decisions around the goal. Sometimes we're taking shots from difficult angles instead of playing somebody in front of goal.”

MLS GAME INFORMATION

      

Said Justin Meram: “We're banking off Oduro to pull something magical. Our quality of passing in the midfield is great but we have to go somewhere with it.” Federico Higuaín scored his fifth goal of the season, his fourth from the penalty spot. His only goal from open play came in the season’s first game, March 2 against Chivas USA. Higuaín is tied for most shots (57) in the league and is sixth in shots on goal (21). “He's a set-up guy,” Warzycha said. “He's going to occasionally score. The good thing for us is he's very dangerous on set pieces and he's taking the penalty kicks, which is not that easy.” With Jairo Arrieta back from international duty, Warzycha had a lineup decision to make. When Ben Speas fell ill, Arrieta was lined up wide on the right with Dominic Oduro again reprising his role as the spearhead striker. “That's something that came up just before the game and obviously [Jairo] Arrieta had to play on that side. We didn't want to change anything up front for a reason,” Warzycha said. “That's why Dominic [Oduro] stole that ball and scored through the penalty. And Arrieta had a very good second half, he was very dangerous.” Said Oduro: “I've made my case. The coaches know that if I'm up front I'm very, very productive. I'm not saying I'm not productive on the wing, too, but my chances of bringing goals is higher than if I'm playing on the wing.” The Crew still have yet to win back-to-back games this season. “I think the way we played I can't be disappointed. We created a number of chances, we were quick, and there was a good understanding,” said Warzycha. “We just have to just tighten things at the back. So I'm not looking for a number of changes because I don't have the players. I don't have a player to replace Chad Marshall or Josh Williams.”

MISCELLANEOUS TEAM NOTES MATCH RECAP -- GAME 16

BLACK & GOLD NOTES

CREW FALLS 2-1 TO CHICAGO FIRE IN BACK-AND-FORTH AFFAIR Despite a strong first-half performance that saw the Black & Gold jump out to a 1-0 lead just seven minutes into the match, the Columbus Crew fell to Eastern Conference rival Chicago Fire on Saturday night at Crew Stadium. The 19,624 fans in the building surpassed last week’s season-high attendance mark, with the Crew unable to put together back-to-back wins following a June 15 win over Eastern Conferenceleading Montreal. The Fire completed a second-half comeback behind goals from former Crew midfielder Dilly Duka and forward Mike Magee. The goals were two minutes apart, with Duka striking in the 52nd minute and Magee in the 54th. Chicago’s Joel Lindpere assisted on both strikes with service from the left wing. Captain Federico Higuain converted a seventh-minute penalty to open the scoring.

AN IMPORTANT TWO-MATCH ROAD SWING After closing-out a two match homestand in the third and fourth weekends of June, the Black & Gold begin an important two-match road swing: at Sporting KC (June 29) and at LA (July 4) ... following Saturday’s match, the team will travel to LA on Sunday and train in the City of Angels ahead of the Independence Day clash on Thursday ... the seven-day trip will test the team’s road record of 3-3-2.

CJ Sapong scored in the 10th minute to give the visitors the initial lead.

SANCHEZ UNAVAILABLE ON SATURDAY; MIDFIELD COMPETITION... Matías Sánchez will miss Saturday’s match as the Argentine serves a mandatory onegame suspension for yellow-card accumulation after picking-up his fifth caution last Saturday against Chicago ... other midfielders that have seen action this year includeKevan George, Tony Tchani, Agustín Viana and Konrad Warzycha. ... AND A START FOR KONRAD IN KC WOULD BE SPECIAL Sporting KC selected Konrad Warzycha -- the former Ohio State Buckeye -- in the third round of the 2011 MLS SuperDraft, but released him in November 2012 after he only made one League appearance in two seasons with the club ... “Going back, it’s my first time back to Kansas City. It means a lot,” the midfielder said to TheCrew.com ... “There’s definitely a little extra motivation for me.”

GAME 17: COLUMBUS CREW AT SPORTING KC DON’T FORGET ABOUT THE BATTLE OF CORNER KICK LEADERS Saturday’s contest also features the League’s top two corner kick leaders thus far in 2013 as Federico Higuain (71) faces Graham Zusi (70) of Sporting KC ... the Crew only had three corner kicks in last Saturday’s 2-1 loss to Chicago, but Higuain took all three for the club ... Zusi took all four of Sporting’s corner kicks in the 2-2 draw against FC Dallas last weekend, leaving the midfielder just one behind the Crew playmaker entering this weekend. CREW PLAYERS & STAFF HELP PREPARE CARE PACKAGES FOR TROOPS Justin Meram, Eric Gehrig, Chad Barson, Drew Beckie and select members of Black & Gold and front office staff helped Operation Buckeye box variety of items for American troops stationed overseas on Wednesday, building off of the club’s Military Appreciation Night last Saturday ... more than 50 packages were assembled, full of food, snacks, personal hygiene items, reading materials and well-wishes ... last year, almost 5,000 boxes were sent to the men and women of our Armed Forces. Since the founding of Operation Buckeye in 2005, more than 21,000 boxes have been sent, with the group of Crew volunteers adding to that impressive total. PIPA SCORES HIS FIFTH... Federico Higuain scored his fifth goal of the season in the seventh minute on Saturday against Chicago as the Argentine converted a penalty kick … the goal was his first since June 1 against Houston and was the Crew’s lone goal in the contest against the Fire ... Higuain is second in goals this year behind Dominic Oduro, who has seven tallies. ... AND HIS FOURTH FROM THE SPOT ... With four penalty kick goals this season through 16 games – Federico Higuain leads MLS this year in converted chances from the penalty spot … six players entered last weekend tied for second on the current list with two penalty kick goals … Higuain’s five attempts this season is also a League-leading number thus far in 2013. ... PUTTING THE ARGENTINE NEAR A CREW PENALTY KICK RECORD With a converted penalty kick on Saturday against Chicago, Federico Higuain is now 4-for-5 this season from the spot and four of his five goals this season have been on converted penalty strikes ... Higuain is now one penalty kick goal away from matching the club’s single-season record for penalty kick goals … Guillermo Barros Schelotto scored five in 2010 and Andres Mendoza matched the record with the same number in 2011. GAVEN TAKES FIRST STEP IN ROAD TO RECOVERY The Black & Gold announced ahead of the match against Chicago on June 22 that midfielder Eddie Gaven has undergone arthroscopic knee surgery to address a ruptured left Anterior Cruciate Ligament ... Gaven is set to begin the rehabilitation process and is expected to return for the 2014 MLS season ... the 26-year-old suffered the injury on May 29 during the Crew’s 2-1 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup victory over Dayton, scoring the first goal and assisting on Justin Meram’s match-winner before exiting in the 86th-minute following the injury ... Gaven made 11 appearances in all competitions this season, all of them starts, scoring one goal and recording four assists in 984 minutes of action. AARON HORTON’S LOAN EXTENDED The Columbus Crew announced on Monday that Homegrown Player Aaron Horton’s short-term loan with the LA Blues of USL PRO has been extended through the end of the USL PRO season, which culminates with the League’s championship weekend on September 6-8 ... Horton was sent on-loan to the Blues on May 29, and the forward made his Blues debut two days later in a 2-2 draw against the Rochester Rhinos ... overall, in the four matches that LA has played since Horton’s arrival, the Crew Homegrown has seen action in each contest, making four appearances – including two starts ... Horton most recently earned a spot in the starting lineup in the 1-0 loss against the Dayton Dutch Lions on June 23 ... the club is next scheduled to host Antigua Barracuda FC at Cal State Fullerton’s Titan Stadium on Thursday, July 4 at 10:30 p.m. ET. CREW TO HOST FA CUP CHAMPION WIGAN ATHLETIC ON JULY 13 The Columbus Crew announced on June 22 that it will play host to reigning FA Cup champion Wigan Athletic on Saturday July, 13 at Columbus Crew Stadium in an international friendly ... the game will kick-off at 7:30 p.m. ET and be classified as ‘Special Game A’ for Crew Soccer Nation Fan Club Gold Level Members ... individual advance ticket prices start at $23 and are on-sale at the Crew Stadium Box Office, all central Ohio Ticketmaster retail locations, via Ticketmaster phone at 1-800-745-3000 and online via TheCrew.com.

saves percentage (74.7) and third in minutes played in goal (1440) ... the 30-year-old has started and played every minute of the Crew’s first 16 matches this year and leads the Crew in minutes logged this campaign. ... AND GRUENEBAUM’S CONSISTENT WITH HIS SAVES PERCENTAGE Andy Gruenebaum has posted a saves percentage of 74.7 through 16 games this season as the Black & Gold approach the mid-way point of 2013 ... in his second season as the Crew’s starting ‘keeper, Gruenebaum remains on pace to match his 2012 season total saves percentage of, you guessed it, 74.7 percent. CREW HOMEGROWN PLAYER WIL TRAPP AND U-20 WORLD CUP DUTY Homegrown Player Wil Trapp remains on United States Under-20 Men’s National Team duty for the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup – hosted by Turkey – from June 21 through July 13, 2013 ... Trapp captained the U.S. squad against France in his Group A match against France on Monday, June 24 ... now his side must defeat Ghana, the country responsible for knocking the senior team out of the last two World Cups, in order to advance in Turkey on Thursday ... Avi Creditor of Goal.com writes that the United States have a chance to, “progress out of the toughest group” with a victory. JAIRO GOT THE START AGAINST CHICAGO Crew striker Jairo Arrieta returned to the Crew starting lineup on Saturday agains the Fire, earning the starting nod following National Team duty with Costa Rica for three matches in the Hexagonal Round of 2014 FIFA World Cup Qualifying ... while with Costa Rica, Arrieta earned one cap -- a start on June 7 in the 1-0 win against Honduras ... the striker missed three Crew matches – at Philadelphia on June 5, against Montreal on June 15, as well as the club’s Fourth Round clash in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup at the Chicago Fire on Thursday, June 13.

BY THE NUMBERS 3 Andy Gruenebaum is one of three finalists for “Adult Player of the Year” in Sporting Kansas City’s Kevin Gray Awards.

The Kevin Gray Awards presented by Ivy Funds were established in 2011 in honor of the late Kansas City Sports Commission president Kevin Gray and annually recognize the athletic achievements of soccer players, coaches and ambassadors in or from the Kansas City area. Finalists for the 2013 Kevin Gray Awards presented by Ivy Funds were announced on Monday and the winners will be announced on July 13.

200 Dominic Oduro’s next appearance will be career appearance number 200 for the 27-year-old Ghanaian. Oduro scored his 40th goal of his career in his 198th career game played on June 15 in the Crew’s 2-0 win over Montreal. With seven goals this season thus far for Oduro, the Ghanaian now has two career seasons of 7+ goals since 2006 (12 G in ‘11 with CHI). His first-ever action was on June 28, 2006 in a six-minute apperance at New England while with FC Dallas.

4 Despite the loss against Chicago on June 22, over the last five seasons, Warzycha has the fourth-best record among MLS coaches, trailing only Bruce Arena (LA), Jason Kreis (RSL) and Sigi Schmid (SEA). A look at how Warzycha’s five-year, regular-season performance stacks up against the rest of MLS is below: 1) Bruce Arena: 69-35-36 2) Jason Kreis 67-43-35 3) Sigi Schmid: 65-37-40 4) Robert Warzycha: 60-46-38 5) Dom Kinnear: 55-44-43

18,320 & 19,624 Saturday’s attendance of 19,624 at Crew Stadium on June 22 was a new season-high when the Crew took on Chicago, topping the previous week’s season-high from the match against Montreal when 18,320 was the attendance for the 2-0 over the Eastern Conference-leading Montreal Impact. The two-match average saw just under 19,000 (18,972) in the stands for each contest during the homestand.

3-0-1 As the Crew prepares for a stretch of two road matches in seven days, the team will rely on its strong record when scoring the first goal on the road. In exactly half of the Crew’s eight road matches this year, the Black & Gold have struck first, and in those four matches the team remains unbeaten (3-0-1).
