Sporting KC Game Notes | July 3, 2019 vs. Los Angeles FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #SKCvLAFC: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#SKCvLAFC: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City finally returns home this week to take on Los Angeles FC at Children’s Mercy Park on Wednesday night following a month of June where the side played five consecutive matches on the road in all competitions. Sporting went 1-2-2 in all competitions on the road in June, including a 1-1-2 mark in MLS play. Sporting will now have three of their five matches in July at home.

SKC 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.

In 2018, Sporting KC won the inaugural matchup against Los Angeles FC at Banc of California Stadium on August 11, 2018. The visitors took the lead midway through the first half when Gerso Fernandes slotted home, and Ilie Sanchez doubled the lead from the spot in the second half to make the final score 2-0.

Sporting KC then hosted LAFC for the first time at Children’s Mercy Park in the 2018 regular-season finale on October 28, with first place in the Western Conference on the line. Sporting took the lead in the first half through Roger Espinoza’s thunderbolt from distance, but LAFC fought back in the second period and equalized when Seth Sinovic was penalized for a handball in the area and sent off, and Carlos Vela converted the penalty kick. However, Sporting KC found a winner even when a man down as Daniel Salloi struck a low shot into the corner to make the final score 2-1 and clinch first place in the West.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

GUTIERREZ ENJOYING IMPRESSIVE CAMPAIGN

Sporting Kansas City closed out their brutal stretch of five consecutive road games in the month of June with Saturday night’s 2-0 defeat to Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium. It was Sporting’s second loss of the month, including their U.S. Open Cup loss to Minnesota United FC on June 12, as Sporting ended the month with a 1-2-2 record across five consecutive road matches. Now Sporting will enjoy three of five games in the month of July at home.

Sporting Kansas City midfielder Felipe Gutierrez has enjoyed an impressive MLS campaign in 2019 and recently scored the game-winner to clinch a 1-0 road win over Columbus Crew SC at MAPFRE Stadium on June 23. It was Gutierrez’s seventh goal of the season in MLS play, putting him in a tie for the team-lead alongside Krisztian Nemeth and Johnny Russell.

Gutierrez scored twice from the penalty spot in Sporting’s 2-2 draw against Toronto FC on June 7, before also tallying an assist on Gerso Fernandes’ goal in the U.S. Open Cup loss to Minnesota United FC on June 12. In all, the Chilean international has seven goals and two assists across 23 games in all competitions in 2019.

Sporting KC struggled to take advantage of their most recent stretch of homes games in May, going 1-2-1 in their four matches and 1-3-1 in the month of May which includes a 1-0 defeat in their only road match against D.C. United on May 12. Sporting were denied another opportunity for a home match when the side was drawn to take on Minnesota in the U.S. Open Cup Fourth Round on the road as well. In all, Sporting is 5-3-3 at home in all competitions this season.

The goal against Columbus was also cause for a milestone celebration, serving as Sporting’s 500th all-time away goal in all competitions. The club’s 500 strikes away from home consist of 419 in the MLS regular season, 22 in the MLS Cup Playoffs, 37 in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and 22 in international matches.

The lengthy away stretch was in June just the sixth time in club history that Sporting had embarked on an MLS road swing of four or more games. The scheduling rarity last occurred in 2015 when the club managed just a single point from four consecutive trips in the late summer. The club’s longest-ever road trip took Sporting to 10 different MLS stadiums to kick off 2011 before opening the Children’s Mercy Park era in June of that year.

OLD FRIENDS SET TO REUNITE

Sporting Kansas City and Los Angeles FC are set to see some familiar faces on the opposite side of the field when the two sides face off at Children’s Mercy Park on Wednesday night. LAFC’s influential midfielder Latif Blessing was scouted and brought to MLS by Sporting KC ahead of the 2017 season, while Sporting midfielder Benny Feilhaber played almost every minute for LAFC in their expansion season in 2018.

Sporting, currently sitting in last place in the Western Conference behind the Colorado Rapids who have the games won tie-breaker, will now face off against Supporters’ Shield leaders Los Angeles FC at Children’s Mercy Park on Wednesday night. Sporting went 2-0-0 against LAFC during their expansion season in 2018, but fell to a 2-1 defeat against the California-based side during the 2019 season opener at Banc of California Stadium.

Blessing became a fan favorite in Kansas City for his knack of scoring big goals in big games and dancing with the Cauldron after games. Blessing played a significant role as Sporting won the 2017 U.S. Open Cup, tallying three goals and one assist during the cup run - including the opening goal in the Final. Blessing was taken by LAFC with their second pick of the Expansion Draft.

LEAGUE-LEADERS COMING TO TOWN

Sporting Kansas City is finally back at home this week following a grueling month of June where the side played all five games on the road, posting a 1-2-2 record in all competitions. Sporting will now take on Supporters’ Shield leaders Los Angeles FC at Children’s Mercy Park on Wednesday night, before welcoming the Chicago Fire to town on Saturday night.

Feilhaber, who had a previous stint at Sporting from 2013-2017, played in all 34 of LAFC’s regular season games in 2018, starting 32 and adding three goals and six assists from a deep-lying role in midfield.

JOSH WOLFF TO BE HONORED AS NEW SPORTING LEGEND

Sporting Kansas City has announced former forward Josh Wolff as the newest member of the club’s Sporting Legends hall of honor.

Sporting KC had LAFC’s number during their expansion season in 2018, sweeping the season series with wins both at home and on the road. The inaugural matchup between the teams came on August 11, 2018 at Banc of California Stadium, with Sporting cruising to a 2-0 victory following Gerso Fernandes’ slotted finish in the first half and Ilie Sanchez’s penalty kick in the second.

Wolff, who starred for the Kansas City Wizards from 2003-2006 and 2008-2010, will be officially inducted as a Sporting Legend in a pregame ceremony before Sporting Kansas City hosts FC Dallas on Saturday, July 20, at Children’s Mercy Park. Tickets for the Western Conference clash are available now at SeatGeek.com.

The second game and LAFC’s first visit to Children’s Mercy Park was slightly more dramatic, as both sides were fighting for the top seed in the Western Conference on the final day of the 2018 regular season on October 28. Roger Espinoza gave Sporting the lead in the first half with a thunderous effort from distance, before LAFC equalized from the penalty spot through Carlos Vela after Seth Sinovic had been sent off for handball on the goalline. Still, the 10 men of Sporting were able to nick all three points as Daniel Salloi struck late, sealing the top spot in the Western Conference for SKC.

Wolff, currently an assistant coach for the United States Men’s National Team, is the 10th 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 soccer community. Wolff was selected through an online ballot of write-in votes submitted by fans.

Like the previous nine members of Sporting Legends (Bob Gansler, Tony Meola, Preki, Jimmy Conrad, Lamar Hunt, Peter Vermes, Chris Klein, Kerry Zavagnin and Mo Johnston), Wolff 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 inside the UMB Premium Entry on the northwest side of the stadium, showcasing the U.S. Men’s National Team jersey he wore at the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany.

After posting a stunning 10-0-4 record against the three Californian sides (LAFC, LA Galaxy and San Jose Earthquakes) from June of 2016 to the end of 2018, Sporting has gone 0-3-0 against those three sides in 2019.

VERMES SET TO LEAD SKC FOR 400th TIME ON WEDNESDAY

Sporting Kansas City Manager and Sporting Director Peter Vermes is set to take to the sideline of a Sporting KC game for the 400th time when his side takes on Supporters’ Shield leaders Los Angeles FC at Children’s Mercy Park on Wednesday night. Vermes currently sits on 399 games coached in all competitions.

HEY ZUS, YOU’RE AN ALL-STAR

Sporting Kansas City announced on Tuesday, June 18 that defender Graham Zusi has been named to the 2019 MLS All-Star Fan XI presented by Target.

Since taking the helm at Sporting almost 11 years ago, Vermes has lead the team in 331 regular-season matches, 18 in the MLS Cup Playoffs, 30 in the U.S. Open Cup and 20 in international competitions. In his time with the club, Vermes has won the 2013 MLS Cup as well as the 2012, 2015 and 2017 U.S. Open Cups, all the while overseeing the foundation of the club’s Academy and USL Championship team, and playing a pivotal role in the construction of Children’s Mercy Park and Pinnacle, Sporting’s world-class training facility.

Zusi receives MLS All-Star recognition for the seventh time in his heralded career, tying club legend Preki for the most in Sporting history. The right back lands All-Star accolades for the third straight year, having earned his first four nods from 2012-2015. His seven All-Star selections since 2012 are the most in Major League Soccer. Zusi has amassed 31 goals and 80 assists in 312 competitive appearances for Sporting, ranking second on the team’s all-time charts in assists and games played.

Vermes has posted a 172-126-101 mark in all competitions for the club, including a 137-105-89 record in MLS regular-season action. Vermes’ 137 regular-season wins are the fifth most of any coach in MLS history and the third most among active coaches, only trailing the New England Revolution’s Bruce Arena (207) and Los Angeles FC’s Bob Bradley (151). The late Sigi Schmid leads all MLS coaches with 240 regular-season wins.

Since joining the club in the 2009 MLS SuperDraft out of the University of Maryland, Zusi has helped Sporting to three Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup titles (2012, 2015, 2017), the 2013 MLS Cup and an eight-year playoff streak that began in 2011. The versatile veteran was selected to the MLS Best XI in 2012 and 2013 after being named the 2011 MLS Breakout Player of the Year.

A tearful Zusi was surprised with the news by young patients at Children’s Mercy Hospital during his monthly visit on Tuesday afternoon.

Vermes is also the longest tenured coach in the league and one of the longest serving coaches worldwide.

With the FIFA Congress decision to award the 2026 FIFA World Cup, to the federations of Canada, Mexico, and the United States, the three nations will jointly manage preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup until FIFA establishes their operations to manage the competition. Among other decisions, FIFA will make the final selection of host cities for the 2026 competition from the 23 candidates proposed in the United Bid. Each of the United Bid’s 23 proposed stadiums are fully built, occupied and operational, ensuring long-term use following the 2026 World Cup. The United Bid has 150 existing world-class training facilities, millions of hotel rooms, and advanced infrastructure. The United Bid is expected to generate more than $14 billion in revenue and $11 billion in profits for FIFA, which will be shared with the 211 FIFA Member Associations, helping further develop and expand the game of football across the globe.

VERMES ENTERS 11th SEASON

Entering his 11th season at the helm of Sporting KC, manager Peter Vermes looks to win more hardware and guide his side to yet another postseason appearance in 2019.

Despite elimination from the Concacaf Champions League and the U.S. Open Cup, Sporting KC will still aim to win the MLS Supporters’ Shield and MLS Cup.

PLAYOFF STREAK REACHES EIGHT SEASONS

In 2018, Sporting KC continued its impressive streak of postseason appearances, becoming just the sixth club in MLS history to make at least eight straight trips to the MLS Cup Playoffs, while Manager Peter Vermes is now just the third coach to lead the same team to eight straight playoff appearances.

Vermes is the longest tenured coach that is currently in charge of a team in MLS, having led Sporting KC since 2009 - one year longer than Ben Olsen has been at the helm at D.C. United. Vermes became the longest tenured coach in MLS when then LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena took the U.S. National Team job in late 2016.

LONGEST MLS PLAYOFF STREAKS Club Seasons LA Galaxy 10 (1996-2005) Seattle Sounders FC 10 (2009-2018) *active New York Red Bulls 9 (2010-2018) *active Sporting KC 8 (2011-2018) *active LA Galaxy 8 (2009-2016) NE Revolution 8 (2002-2009) Real Salt Lake 7 (2008-2014)

With almost 10 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 fifth longest active run.

Vermes has guided Sporting KC to four titles under his watch, winning three Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups in 2012, 2015 and 2017, and the MLS Cup in 2013. His trophy haul ranks as the second highest among active MLS coaches - only trailing Toronto FC’s Greg Vanney’s five championships. On a local level, Vermes’ 11 years with SKC is the second longest tenure by a head coach in the history of major KC professional sports behind Super Bowl champion and Pro Football Hall of Famer Hank Stram, who was Chiefs head coach from 1963-1974.

LA Galaxy 6 1999-2004 Jason Kreis Real Salt Lake 6 2008-2013

Vermes has compiled a 172-126-101 record in all competitions with Sporting KC, including a remarkable 20-7-3 mark in U.S. Open Cup contests. Vermes’ 137 wins in MLS regular-season action ranks fifth all-time and second among active coaches in MLS, trailing Los Angeles FC’s Bob Bradley.

VERMES VERBATIM

RECORD-SETTING 2018

See below for comments from Sporting KC Manager and Sporting Director Peter Vermes following the 2-0 defeat against Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium on June 29, 2019.

As well as their overall goalscoring exploits, Sporting Kansas City also set new club records in five other offensive categories: Road Goals (31), Goal Difference (+25), Assists (69), Shots (583) and Corner Kicks (206).

Thoughts on the goals: “The corner kick is easy to talk about. They play a long ball across the field over the group, they play a ball back in, their guy wins the header, the guy on the back post is kept onside and they score. It’s simple and routine. The ball goes out as much as it does, everybody should be coming off the back line. We didn’t come off the back line like we should, kept their guys onside and didn’t win the ball. They won the first ball in. The second and third ball, we never got to either one. The other goal, we make a mistake on the ball and we just give up a counter-attacking goal and the game is over. We’re trying to chase a game 2-0 from the first half. Actually when the game started, neither team had much life or spirit in them. We gave them spirit on the two goals, and that gave them life. They took the rest of the game.”

Sporting Kansas City enjoyed a historic 2018 season that saw the club set new records in multiple attacking categories. Most notably, the club shattered the franchise’s all-time goalscoring record by tallying 65 goals in 34 games, eclipsing the 61 goals the then Kansas City Wizards tallied in their inaugural season in 1996.

Peter Vermes’ side also found multiple goals in 25 of the club’s 40 matches in all competitions last season and was only shutout seven times. Sporting KC finished the regular season as the fourth highest scoring team in MLS with 65 goals, while the side scored 79 goals when including the MLS Cup Playoffs and U.S. Open Cup play.

Reason for the halftime sub: “There was work to be done there, so we wanted to bring somebody else in that was going to give us the work.”

Sporting had 16 different goalscorers last year in MLS play - which was tied for the second highest number of goalscorers across a single squad this season. In 2018, SKC found goals from Daniel Salloi (14), Johnny Russell (10), Diego Rubio (10), Felipe Gutierrez (7), Gerso Fernandes (6), Ilie Sanchez (5), Ike Opara (3), Yohan Croizet (3), Roger Espinoza (3), Khiry Shelton (2), Graham Zusi (2), Jimmy Medranda (2), Cristian Lobato (2), Wan Kuzain Wan Kamal (1), Krisztian Nemeth (1) and Gianluca Busio (1).

On Botond Barath’s injury: “I’m not sure. I think he’ll be fine for Wednesday though.”

On the performance: “We played poorly. We didn’t have life and we didn’t have spirit. A couple guys that came on brought us a little bit more, but it wasn’t enough. We didn’t deserve the three points.”

The 6-0 triumph over Vancouver Whitecaps FC on April 20, 2018 tied club records for largest margin of victory and most goals scored in a competitive match. Sporting KC finished the year with 65 goals in 34 regular-season matches, having scored 40 in all of 2017. The last time Sporting KC hit six goals in an MLS match was on June 20, 1999.

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 entering his 11th season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2019 and is the longest-tenured active head coach in MLS. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 172 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 regular-season standings in 2011 and 2012, as well as the Western Conference in 2018. 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 137 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 399 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 almost 10 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 fifth 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, the Swope Park Rangers (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 Figueras of the Spanish Second Division.

Goalkeeper Coach | Alec Dufty Goalkeeper coach Alec Dufty enters his third season with Sporting Kansas City having been introduced to the organization as the Swope Park Rangers 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 seasons 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.

HEAD HONCHO Head coach Bob Bradley has now enjoyed two of the best-ever inaugural campaigns for expansion teams in MLS. In 1998, Bradley led Chicago Fire to MLS Cup and U.S. Open Cup titles before leading LAFC to the most points in Year 1 and a postseason berth in 2019. Since joining LAFC, Bradley has posted a 26-10-13 record.

Currently, Bradley is the second-winningest active head coach in MLS with 151 victories, and is just one of six current managers that have won an MLS Cup (Arena, Vermes, Porter, Scmetzer, Vanney).

MOST POINTS

HEAD-TO-HEAD

Since LAFC began play in 2018, the Club’s 94 points in regular season play are the third-most by any team in MLS, while the 11 losses are the lowest during that span.

Wednesday night’s matchup will be the second and final regular season meeting between LAFC and Sporting KC. In the 2019 MLS season opener on March 3, LAFC edged SKC 2-1 at Banc of California Stadium with goals from forwards Diego Rossi and Adama Diomande.

1. Atlanta – 30-12-8 – 98 points 1. NYRB – 30-13-8 – 98 points 3. LAFC – 27-11-13 – 94 points 4. Seattle – 26-15-10 – 88 points Since the post-shootout era began in 2000, LAFC’s total points in its first 50 games are the most by any team, followed by Atlanta’s 88 points after posting a 25-12-13 overall record. LAFC is currently on pace to become the fastest team in the last 20 years to reach 100 points.

U.S. OPEN CUP For the second year in a row, LAFC will face the Portland Timbers in the Quarterfinals of the U.S. Open Cup. This will also mark the third meeting of 2019 between LAFC and the Timbers, with LAFC sweeping the season series with wins 3/10 and 6/1. Last season, LAFC eliminated Portland from the Open Cup with a 3-2 win on June 18.

Last year, Sporting KC was the only team to beat the Black & Gold twice in MLS play, including LAFC’s only regular season defeat at Banc of California Stadium on August 11.

HOW THEY COME IN LAFC will look to rebound after suffering just its second defeat of 2019 last week against the Colorado Rapids.

The Black & Gold were shut out for just the third time on Friday night. Despite the loss, LAFC remains atop the Supporters’ Shield standings with a 11-2-4 record.

Meanwhile, Sporting KC returns home for the first time since a 2-0 loss against the Galaxy on May 29. SKC has played the last five matches away from home, posting a 1-3-1 overall record.

DOING IT ON BOTH ENDS

3rd (West)

Standings

1st (West)

After the first 17 games, LAFC’s 39 goals for and 14 goals against have the Club on pace to become the firstever team in MLS history to finish a season with over 2.00 goals for and under 1.00 goals against per game.

SUPER CARLOS In his first MLS campaign, Vela finished top 10 in goals (14), assists (13), shots (97), and shots on goal (44).

This year, Vela has been named MLS Player of the Month and MLS Player of the Week twice, as well as selected to the MLS Team of the Week nine times.

This season, LAFC has been even more clinical in the attack and rank first across all offensive categories: • • • • • •

Goals – 39 (1st) Assists – 40 (1st) Shots – 313 (1st) Shots on goal – 109 (1st) Goal differential – +25 (1st) Goals per game – 2.29 (1st)

Additionally, only eight teams in league history have had a better goal differential through a full season than LAFC (+25) has through 17 matches.

MILESTONES

The 2018 MLS All-Star Captain and 2018 MLS Best XI selection already surpassed his goal tally from last year and leads the league in goals (16), shots (89), and shots on goal (35), and is tied for second in assists (10).

In his seventh campaign in the league, defender Walker Zimmerman reached 100 starts during the 2-2 draw at NYCFC on March 17 and 10,000 MLS minutes during the 1-1 draw at FC Dallas on May 19.

With 16 goals and 10 assists, Vela also passed Erick Torres for most goals by a Mexican player in one MLS season.

Defender Steven Beitashour became the 35th defender all-time to reach the 20,000-minute mark during the 2-0 win vs. FC Dallas on May 16. His 35 assists are also the most by a defender with 20,000+ minutes.

After 17 matches, here is how Vela is pacing compared to Josef Martinez’s record-season last year: • Vela: 16 goals - 1,519 minutes – 0.95 goals/90 • Martinez: 14 goals - 1,404 minutes - 0.90 goals/90

TOP 10 At the half point mark of the season, the Black & Gold have at least two players in the Top 10 in all major offensive categories across MLS, including: • • • •

Goals – Vela (1st - 16), Rossi (t-5th - 8) Assists – Vela (t-2nd - 10), Atuesta (t-10th - 6) Shots – Vela (1st - 89), Rossi (5th - 58) Shots on Goal – Vela (1st - 35), Rossi (2nd - 27)

Defender Jordan Harvey reached 300 career regular season appearances during the 2-1 vs. Sporting KC on March 3. He became just the 40th field player to reach the milestone and currently ranks 6th among active players and his 26,183 minutes puts him 21st in league history. He is now just 8 starts shy from reaching 300.

GOLD CUP CALL-UPS Walker Zimmerman started and played all 90 minutes during USA’s 1-0 win over Curacao in the quarterfinals.

Goalkeeper Tyler Miller and midfielder Peter-Lee Vassell were unused subs for the U.S. and Jamaica, respectively, while midfielder Mark-Anthony Kaye played 36 minutes of Canada’s 3-2 loss against Haiti.

LOS ANGELES FOOTBALL CLUB GAME NOTES MILLER TIME After spending the first two seasons as the backup in Seattle, goalkeeper Tyler Miller has played in 49 of LAFC’s 51 MLS matches – registering a 27-9-13 record along the way. Miller also appeared in all four U.S. Open Cup contests and the Club’s loan playoff match.

Since joining LAFC, Miller’s 27 wins are second in MLS (Luis Robles - 28). This season, Miller already has two of the top five shutout streaks, the second best saves percentage (74.5), while his six clean sheets are tied for third in MLS.

DEFENSIVE EFFORTS After the first 17 matches of the season, LAFC’s defense ranks first in goals against average (0.82) and goals conceded (14). Additionally, the Black & Gold have the second and third-longest streaks without allowing a goal in 2019.

1. Atlanta United – 521 minutes (4/20-5/19) 2. LAFC – 388 minutes (4/28-5/19) 3. LAFC – 352 minutes (3/23-4/17) 4. D.C. United – 333 minutes (3/3-3/31) 5. FC Cincinnati – 312 minutes (3/10/3/30)

DEBUT CAMPAIGN In the Club’s inaugural campaign last year, LAFC set a new all-time MLS record for most points in Year 1 with 57, narrowly passing Bob Bradley’s 1998 Chicago Fire.

The Club’s 1.67 points per game average and 16 wins were also good enough for second all-time. (Note: Games could not end in a draw until 2000).
