SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs VANCOUVER WHITECAPS FC SPORTING PARK, Kansas City, Kan. July 3, 2013 (WEEK 19, MLS Game #163) 8 p.m. CT (UDN; TSN/RDS) A pair of clubs looking to solidify their conference standing meet when Sporting Kansas City play host to Vancouver Whitecaps FC in an interconference clash Wednesday evening at Sporting Park. SKC put an end to their four-game winless streak last weekend, taking a late 3-2 home victory against the Columbus Crew. Whitecaps FC started their Eastern swing with a third consecutive victory, making the game’s lone goal stand up for a victory at D.C. United. REFEREE: Ricardo Salazar.

Sporting are undefeated all-time against Whitecaps FC, with two victories and a draw in three meetings alltime. SKC won the lone meeting between the teams last year, 3-1 at BC Place on April 18. Coaches record: Peter Vermes vs. VAN: P3 W2 L0 T1 … Martin Rennie vs. KC: P1 W0 L1 T0 SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City put an end to their winless streak after four games, getting a late winner for a 3-2 victory against the Columbus Crew on Saturday evening at Sporting Park. Sporting are in a tie for third place in the Eastern Conference with 26 points from 16 matches. LAST MATCH Sporting took the lead in the 34th minute. From the right touchline, Soony Saad lofted a spot-perfect 40-yard pass to Kei Kamara waiting at the front left of Columbus' penalty area, and he took one touch to settle before firing a left-footed rocket past goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum. The Crew equalized in the 48th minute when Jairo Arrieta made a 65-yard-long run down the pitch before splitting the defense at the edge of the area and beating goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen. But KC was back on top just two minutes, when Chance Myers sent in a long cross from the right side that fell to Claudio Bieler for a cool finish. Three minutes later, the visitors were level again, when Seth Sinovic left a back pass in no man's land and Dominic Oduro raced in to nick it, rounding goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen and calmly rolling it into the open net. But the winner came in the 80th minute. On the counter Sporting tore back up the pitch and got the gamewinner through Kamara, who finished after the ball bounded to him all alone in front of goal. Sporting manager Peter Vermes made three changes to the team that played to a 2-2 draw with FC Dallas in Frisco. Seth Sinovic came into the back four for Mechack Jerome, Lawrence Olum started in midfield for Paulo Nagamura, and Soony Saad came into the team for the suspended C.J. Sapong. SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-2-3-1): Jimmy Nielsen - Chance Myers, Aurelien Collin, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic (Kevin Ellis 63) - Lawrence Olum, Oriol Rosell - Kei Kamara, Graham Zusi, Soony Saad (Ike Opara 90) - Claudio Bieler (Dom Dwyer 82). TEAM NEWS The victory was the first for Sporting KC at home since a 4-0 win against Chivas USA on May 5, snapping a three-game winless run at home in league play.
MLS GAME INFORMATION
“We have to get back to the swag that we've had for the past two years, not just here at home, playing anywhere we want to play as a team and keep going,” said Kei Kamara. “For us, right now it's really just to get back into that rhythm that we've had before and we know.” “A lot of credit to the players for the character to come back,” manager Peter Vermes said. “Obviously, I'm sure it was great for the fans. They definitely got their money's worth. At the end of the day, we gave up two soft goals, but it was great for us to score three goals at home.” Kamara hit for two goals in a game for the fifth time in his MLS career. Kamara has scored four goals in the last four games, his first MLS goals since his return from a loan to Norwich City FC in the English Premier League. Soony Saad uncorked nine attempts at goal – tied for the fifth-most in a single game in Kansas City club history – in the victory. Saad was making his second league start of the season and recorded his second assist of the season. “He did a hell of a good job,” said goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen. “We all know Soony is a great player. I think he proved today that he can play on this level here. Outstanding.” Claudio Bieler scored his first goal since May 5, his first from open play since that game, when also netted from the penalty spot. Just a day after being recalled from Orlando City SC of USL PRO, Dom Dwyer made his MLS season debut, coming on for the final eight minutes. “Hopefully I'll get more time and with that put more points on the board,” Dwyer said. “It's nice to get more time and once you get a taste you want more and more so obviously I want more and I want to get on the board a bit more.” Kevin Ellis made his MLS debut, coming on for the final 27 minutes in place of left back Seth Sinovic. “I thought Kevin was actually very good. One of the hardest places to come in as a player is defender. It just is, you know, because everything is just coming at you and you're not in the flow of the game,” said Vermes. “… He was actually very, very good in the air and excellent on the ball. He did a great job and his dominant foot is not left. So he managed that side very well, and I believe that he helped close out the game for us.”
VANCOUVER WHITECAPS FC Vancouver Whitecaps FC started their Eastern road swing with a third consecutive victory, holding on for a 1-0 win against D.C. United on Saturday evening at RFK Stadium. Whitecaps FC sit in fourth place in the Western Conference with 25 points from 16 matches. LAST MATCH The game's only goal came shortly after the second-half restart. United goalkeeper Bill Hamid took down Whitecaps FC midfielder Matt Watson as he was dribbling toward the goal inside the 18, prompting referee Matthew Foerster to point to the spot. Camilo Sanvezzo converted the 48th-minute penalty. Whitecaps FC goalkeeper Brad Knighton was called upon to make four saves in keeping the clean sheet. Whitecaps FC head coach Martin Rennie made one change to the team that recorded a 3-1 victory against Chivas USA at BC Place. Jun Marques Davidson came into the team in place of Lee Young-Pyo. VANCOUVER WHITECAPS FC (4-2-3-1): Brad Knighton - Nigel Reo-Coker, Carlyle Mitchell, Johnny Leveron, Jordan Harvey - Daigo Kobayashi (Gershon Koffie 68), Jun Marques Davidson - Russell Teibert, Kenny Miller, Matt Watson (Brad Rusin 86) - Camilo Sanvezzo (Darren Mattocks 77) TEAM NEWS Whitecaps FC have now won three games in a row, matching the club’s longest winning streak in MLS, set previously April 21-May 5, 2012. Five of their seven wins for the season have come in their last seven games. “We deserved the win. It’s our second away win in the last three games and I think in the last seven games we’re 5-1-1. So, we’re on a really good run at the moment and have got confidence and I thought it showed well tonight,” said Whitecaps FC head coach Martin Rennie.“ … In the first year, the team didn’t win on the road, but last year we won I think three games, we’ve now won at least two so far this season. We need to improve on that if we want to be right up there in the table.” It was the second victory in three road games for Whitecaps FC – both on the East Coast – after going winless in their first five league matches away from BC Place. “We have to win on the road more consistently. Our record at BC Place is very strong, but for us to move up and develop we need to consistently win on the road,” said Rennie. “I think we showed the qualities to do that and we need to keep doing that each time we take to the field when we’re not at home.” Camilo Sanvezzo scored for a fourth consecutive match, converting a penalty for the lone goal in the win against D.C. United. Sanvezzo now has seven goals and three assists in the last six games. “He’s scored 12 goals in the last 13 games in MLS and the Canadian Cup, which is an unbelievable record. When you have a striker who’s scoring it gives you a great chance and we’ve got a couple [players that] are doing that,” said Rennie. Whitecaps FC kept a clean sheet in a league game for the first time since the opening match of the season, when they defeated Toronto FC. Both of their shutouts have been 1-0 victories.
MLS GAME INFORMATION
“Obviously you like getting a clean sheet on the road and it’s our first one since the first week of the season so obviously that’s something to build on,” said goalkeeper Brad Knighton. “There’s some camaraderie with the back four that we’ve had now for a couple games so there’s a consistency factor coming in and a lot of us are starting to get to know each other. That normally bodes well for good performances, and we’re just looking to win right now.” Y.P. Lee did not appear in a league match for the first time this season, not making the trip to Washington, D.C. Nigel Reo-Coker slotted into his place at right back with Jun Marques Davidson returning to the holding midfield role. “It was a little bit makeshift, we didn’t have [Young-Pyo] Lee tonight and we were missing a couple of other players. But the players who did play, played really well,” said Rennie. “It was a very good clean sheet, but the clean sheet didn’t just come from the defenders. It came from the whole team. Because I felt we pressed D.C. into playing long balls and when we did that, I thought we handled those quite well. Brad Knighton made some saves in the first half. I thought he looked very good.” Darren Mattocks and Gershon Koffie both made their first appearances since May 18 in league play, each missing the last four MLS matches. “I think it’s important that you have that depth. … We also know that we’ve got players coming back who can make a big impact on the team as well,” said Rennie. “So, we have to keep getting results, and if they can fight their way back in, we’ve got a really strong team going into the second half of the season.”

ABOUT WHITECAPS FC In 1974, Vancouver Whitecaps FC played their inaugural season in the North American Soccer League, and in 1979, the club won the NASL Soccer Bowl championship. Following the demise of the NASL in 1984, Vancouver 86ers were founded in 1986, and from 1987 to 1992, the club won four Canadian Soccer League titles. In 1993, Vancouver joined the North American second division after the disbandment of the CSL. In 2001, the club reverted back to the Whitecaps and the following season added FC to their official name, while creating a full club model that encompasses professional teams for men and women, extensive youth development and grassroots participation programs, facility development, and the Whitecaps Foundation to support specific initiatives related to health and wellness through soccer. Since 2004, Whitecaps FC have won two United Soccer Leagues First Division championships and two USL WLeague championships. Whitecaps FC were the 17th club admitted to Major League Soccer on March 18, 2009, and on March 19, 2011, Vancouver kicked off their inaugural year in MLS at Empire Field before moving into the new BC Place Stadium in downtown Vancouver. Vancouver finished the 2011 season with a record of 6W-18L-10D and last season improved to 11-13-10, finished fifth in the Western Conference and made history by becoming the first Canada MLS club to qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs. 2013 is Vancouverʼs 39th season of professional soccer, and 27th consecutive season. Whitecaps FC are the longest running professional soccer club in United States and Canadian history.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY VS. WHITECAPS FC – MEDIA NOTES
MATCH NOTES This will be the 4th meeting between Whitecaps FC and Sporting Kansas City in MLS action. All-time, the ʻCaps hold a record of 0W-2L-1D against Sporting KC. In their previous meeting, the ʻCaps fell to a 3-1 loss on April 18, 2012, at BC Place. The lone goal for the home side came from former ʼCaps and current Philadelphia Union striker Sebastien Le Toux. This Wednesdayʼs match will be the lone meeting between the two clubs this season. PLAYER SPOTLIGHT Nigel Reo-Coker – since making his debut in the season opener against Toronto FC the midfield dynamo has been one of the teamʼs most consistent performers with the second highest number of minutes played. The Englishman has contributed with two assists this season playing primarily as a central midfielder, however, last match Reo-Coker played at right back for the first time in league play. NRC also played right back in the first leg of the Amway Canadian Championship final at Montreal.
WFC STREAKING For only the second time in MLS club history, WFC have won three consecutive MLS matches. They previously accomplished the feat in the spring of 2012 - 4/21 1-0 vs. Dallas, 4/28 1-0 at Columbus, and 5/05 2-1 vs. San Jose. Last month was the most successful in club history with WFC earning 12 out of a possible 15 points in June NO SHORTAGE OF GOALS Over the three meetings between Whitecaps FC and Sporting Kansas City, 13 goals have been scored, including three by ʻCaps striker Camilo. In the teamsʼ first ever clash, on April 3, 2012, Camilo netted two goals in a late second-half comeback. IN NEED OF ASSISTANCE Sporting KCʼs line of supply is easy to identify with only two players having more than a single assist in MLS this season; Graham Zusi (5) and Benny Feilhaber (3). By contrast, Whitecaps FC have five players with more than a single assist, Russell Teibert (6), Camilo (3), Gershon Koffie (2), Young-Pyo Lee (2) and Nigel ReoCoker (2) have all registered multiple assists. PACK OF CARDS Whilst Whitecaps FC have accumulated a mere 18 yellow cards this season, two of which are attributed to nowdeparted Alain Rochat, opponents Sporting KC have
almost twice as many cautions with 31 yellow cards and a single sending off in MLS play. Sporting Kansas City also have the highest number of fouls committed in MLS with 258 whilst Whitecaps FC are tied with D.C. for the fourth fewest with 187 SETTLED XI Sporting Kansas City have seven players who have started at least 15 of their opening 17 matches. By contrast, WFC have four players that have played at least 13 of their opening 16 matches. SPORTING PARK Since moving in to Sporting Park in June 2011, KC have lost no more than three matches at home in any one campaign. They lost three times in 2011, twice in 2013 and have already been beaten three times in 2013. Interestingly, 25% of KCʼs home losses at Sporting Park in MLS have come at the hands of Canadian opponents with Montreal Impact twice coming away with three points. MISSING ALL-STAR The 2013 MLS All-Star game will be hosted at Sporting Park this year on July 31, 2013; the all-stars will face AS Roma. The ʻCapsʼ only all-star from last yearʼs game, Jay DeMerit, has been hurt since the first match of the season with a ruptured Achilles. Sporting Kansas City had three representatives at the all-star game last year. Voting for the MLS All-Star team closes on July 2 at 12p.m. PT and the roster will be announced on July 31. THE COMEBACK KIDS In four of Vancouverʼs last five matches, they have been able to recover from conceding the first goal to take the lead. They have gone on to win three of those contests. EASTERN OPPOSITION In 2013, the ʼCaps hold a 5W-1L-0D record against Eastern Conference clubs. Included in this run was Vancouverʼs first road win of the season when they beat New York Red Bulls on June 1 and last Saturdayʼs 1-0 win over D.C. United. NEXT UP Whitecaps FC face Cascadia Cup rivals Seattle Sounders FC for the second of three meetings in MLS this season. They will be looking to avenge the 3-2 loss suffered away at CenturyLink Field on June 8. Kickoff at BC Place is at 8p.m. PT on Saturday July 6.
