MONTRÉAL IMPACT vs SPORTING KANSAS CITY STADE SAPUTO, Montréal, P.Q. July 12, 2014 (WEEK 18, MLS Game #164) 7:30 p.m. ET (TSN2/RDS; KMCI-38) The Montréal Impact return home looking to score their first goal of the season in three tries vs. Sporting Kansas City when the Eastern Conference foes face off Saturday evening at Stade Saputo. The Impact have lost by 3-0 and 4-0 scorelines to SKC in their first two meetings this season. Montréal returns home off a late 1-0 loss at Chivas USA, while Sporting are coming off a 1-1 home draw with Chicago that followed back-to-back shutout road victories. REFEREE: Hilario Grajeda.

Dom Dwyer scored a pair of late goals to cap an SKC 4-0 victory on April 19 at Sporting Park, then he scored two more goals to lead KC to a 3-0 triumph on May 10 at Stade Saputo. Coaches record: Frank Klopas vs. KC: P9 W3 L4 D2 … Peter Vermes vs. MTL: P8 W4 L3 D1 LAST MEETING (MLS): The match turned after just 17 minutes. A long throw into the area was sent goalward by SKC's Oriol Rossel, and as he fell Impact midfielder Collen Warner clawed the ball away from the line. Referee Jair Marrufo produced a red card for Warner and pointed to the spot, and Dom Dwyer put the resulting penalty kick to the bottom left corner past goalkeeper Troy Perkins, who had guessed correctly. Sporting KC doubled their lead in the 34th minute when a low cross from Chance Myers sailed all the way through the area to Paulo Nagamura at the back post, and he then finished back across goal past a scrambling Perkins. The rout was complete in the 64th minute. Toni Dovale released Dwyer through on goal between the Montreal centerbacks, and he made no mistake in front of Perkins, slotting the ball home to the ‘keeper’s left. KC goalkeeper Eric Kronberg was credited with two saves in recording his league-leading fifth shutout.

MONTREAL IMPACT The Montréal Impact remained winless on the road for the season, dropping a 1-0 decision against Chivas USA on Saturday evening at StubHub Center. The Impact are in 10th place in the Eastern Conference with 14 points from 15 games. LAST MATCH The game's only goal came four minutes into stoppage time. After a cross was not cleared from the penalty area, Erick Torres launched himself into a dramatic bicycle kick, beating Impact goalkeeper Troy Perkins inside his left-hand post.
MLS GAME INFORMATION
Chivas goalkeeper Dan Kennedy was credited with three saves in recording a third consecutive 1-0 victory. Impact head coach Frank Klopas made three changes to the team that strolled to a 3-0 win against the Houston Dynamo at Stade Saputo. Karl Ouimette came in at left back for Eric Miller, and Justin Mapp and Marco Di Vaio returned to the side in place of Gorka Larrea and Maxim Tissot. MONTREAL IMPACT (4-1-3-2): Troy Perkins - Hassoun Camara, Heath Pearce, Matteo Ferrari, Karl Ouimette (Maxim Tissot 80) - Patrice Bernier (Calum Mallace 80) - Justin Mapp, Felipe Martins, Andres Romero - Marco Di Vaio, Jack McInerney (Gorka Larrea 90). TEAM NEWS The Impact remained winless away from Stade Saputo with the defeat at Chivas USA, now 0-5-3 on the road in league games, the only team in MLS still without a road win. “We just know we have to pick up points on the road. I felt that we did enough to get those points. It’s difficult because the second half of the season is starting and every game is very important. For us now, it’s going to be a difficult stretch,” Impact head coach Frank Klopas said. “We got to find ways to get points and results on the road and I felt that [Chivas] was a great opportunity. I thought we did enough to do so and sometimes this game is cruel and we just got to put it behind us as fast as we can. The Torres goal was the first allowed by the Impact since stoppage time of the first half vs. D.C. United on June 11, ending a run of 315 minutes without conceding, third-longest such streak in MLS this season. “I definitely felt that we should’ve walked away with points. It’s heartbreaking the way you’re seconds away and you give up a goal like that,” said Klopas. “I feel for my players and sometimes the game is cruel because they put a lot into the game. I’m not saying we should’ve walked away with three [points], but definitely with at least one point.” The Impact were also shut out on the road for a second consecutive match, now having gone 181 minutes since their last away goal. “More than anything, I just felt that our decision-making could have been better in the first half,” Klopas said. “We had chances in transition when they were pushing forward, but once they were set, we kept forcing a little bit too much of the ball for every play to be almost like the perfect pass. We could have been a little bit better in possession.” After coming off the substitutes’ bench for his first appearance following a two-match absence in the Houston game, Justin Mapp made his first start since May 24. “We created some half chances. We had one right across the goalmouth, we almost got on the end of it and as sharp as we could’ve been in the final third, and if we were a little bit better, we could’ve gotten the goal that we needed. That’s how it goes sometimes and we just move on,” Mapp said. Jack McInerney and Marco Di Vaio again reprised their strike partnership from the start, the first time they’d started together up top since May 31 and just the second time over the last eight matches. “A game like this hurts because at the end of the day, I think we put a lot into the game, the group and we had our moments,” Klopas said. “If you score some of those chances early, it could be a different game, but the way things happened, it’s heartbreaking. You feel for the group, it’s a difficult one to swallow this one.” SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City returned home and extended their undefeated run to three games, gaining a 1-1 draw with the Chicago Fire on Sunday afternoon at Sporting Park. Sporting are in second place in the Eastern Conference with 26 points from 17 games. LAST MATCH Sporting took the lead in the 33rd minute. Dom Dwyer took the ball away from Fire center back Patrick Ianni 25 yards out from goal, with a clear run at Chicago 'keeper Sean Johnson, and slotted his attempt home from the edge of the area. The Fire wasted little time in responding, equalizing seven minutes later. Mike Magee slipped through a gap in the Sporting back line, took Alex's pass in space and calmly finished past SKC 'keeper Eric Kronberg from the center of the box. Sporting manager Peter Vermes made one change to the team that defeated the Portland Timbers 1-0 at Providence Park. Benny Feilhaber came back into the team in place of Sal Zizzo. SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Eric Kronberg - Igor Juliao, Kevin Ellis, Aurelien Collin, Seth Sinovic Lawrence Olum - Benny Feilhaber, Paulo Nagamura (Sal Zizzo 80) - Jacob Peterson, Dom Dwyer (C.J. Sapong 80), Soony Saad (Graham Zusi 62). TEAM NEWS While Sporting did extend their current undefeated run to three games, they have still gone four home games without a victory, with just three points from 12 at Sporting Park since May 14. “I think for us, especially, we feel like we should get three points at home every time,” said Graham Zusi. “[Sunday] was no different. According to our standards, three points is the way to go. But a point's a point as well. It's better than losing.”
MLS GAME INFORMATION
Added midfielder Benny Feilhaber: “As you saw last year and probably this year again, it's going to be where every single point's going to matter big-time. We didn't win the Supporters Shield by a point or something, and we had homefield advantage in the [MLS Cup] finals by a point. Maybe this is the point that does it. So we'll keep going. It's important not to lose.” Sporting saw their shutout streak come to an end after 282 minutes, the Magee goal their first allowed in league play since May 31, equaling the club’s longest shutout streak this season (and the fifth-longest streak in MLS this year). “We obviously gave a goal away,” SKC manager Peter Vermes said. “They had one other chance besides that. We lost a ball, a very easy ball right at the beginning of the final third. We lose the ball and we’re a little stretched out and they get an easy tap-in at the end of the day. So we give that up, then obviously we drove the game, in and around their box quite a bit.” Dom Dwyer netted his 12th goal of the season – tied for second in the MLS Golden Boot standings – then celebrated by taking a selfie, for which he earned a yellow card. “It’s nice to get on the score sheet. I was more excited that I cleared one off the line, to be honest. I really wanted to keep a clean sheet today and was gutted when we allowed one. I thought we defended well throughout the whole game, so I’m a little disappointed there,” said Dwyer. Sporting welcomed back Graham Zusi, as he came off the substitutes’ bench for the final 28 minutes for his first league appearance since May 14, following his return from the U.S. national team and the FIFA World Cup. Center back Matt Besler also rejoined the club, but he did not feature in the Chicago match. “Zusi felt good to go in and play, and Matt felt he needed a couple more days (to rest). Really simple,” Vermes said. Feilhaber missed just one match following a shoulder injury that forced him off at halftime of the June 6 match vs. Houston. Sporting suffered a significant blow when goalkeeper Eric Kronberg suffered a fractured metacarpal in his right hand in training during the week and will be out for about 8 weeks. Kronberg is the leading goalkeeper statistically in Major League Soccer with an 0.88 goals against average.

Sporting KC has sold out 45 straight MLS home matches at Sporting Park. Sporting KC has won 236 MLS regular season matches, fourth most in league history. Peter Vermes is in his sixth season as manager, second longest in club history behind Bob Gansler. Vermes’ winning percentage (.559) is best for Sporting KC all-time. Graham Zusi is tied with Davy Arnaud for third place on Sporting KC’s all-time assists chart with 35. Aurelien Collin is second in club history for most MLS goals scored by a defender with 15, two shy of Jimmy Conrad (17). Matt Besler is in ninth place on the club’s all-time chart for games started with 130. Dom Dwyer is the third player in club history to score in four straight MLS regular season appearances. His four-game goal scoring streak from May 10 to May 23 ties the MLS season high along with Erick Torres, Robbie Keane, Bradley Wright-Phillips, Patrick Mullins and Erik Hurtado. Dom Dwyer’s 12 MLS goals in 2014 are tied for fourth on the club’s single-season goal scoring chart. Should Benny Feilhaber play on Saturday, it will be his 100th MLS appearance (including postseason).
Sporting KC news & Notes Besler and Zusi return to Sporting KC after USMNT World Cup run Sporting KC defender Matt Besler and midfielder Graham Zusi have concluded their first FIFA World Cup campaign with the United States and rejoined Sporting KC. Belgium defeated the U.S. 2-1 on July 1 as the Americans bowed out in the Round of 16. Zusi made his first return appearance for the club on Sunday in a 1-1 draw against the Chicago Fire, playing 28 minutes as a second half substitute. Besler has yet to play for the team since returning from international duty. The duo last featured together for Sporting KC on May 14. Besler and Zusi made significant impacts throughout the World Cup. In a 2-1 win over Ghana on June 16, Besler started and Zusi provided the game-winning assist with an 86th-minute corner kick. Against Portugal on June 22, Besler led all players with 12 clearances and five interceptions and Zusi assisted another late goal as the U.S. battled to a 2-2 draw. It marked the first time since 2002 that two players from the same MLS club started together for the U.S. in a World Cup game. The Sporting KC duo started against Germany in the third and final group stage encounter, and despite a 1-0 loss, the U.S. progressed to the Round of 16 with a superior goal difference over Portugal. Besler and Zusi also earned starts in the Round of 16 loss to Belgium, becoming the first two players to see action in a World Cup knockout stage contest while playing club soccer in Kansas City. Besler played all 120 minutes and Zusi was replaced in the 72nd minute. Besler has earned 21 caps for the U.S. since debuting in January 2013, including six FIFA World Cup qualifiers and all three knockout round games en route to the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup title. The U.S. is 13-3-4 with Besler in the starting lineup. He has appeared in 145 MLS matches (including postseason) in his career, earning MLS Best XI (2012, 2013), MLS All-Star (2011, 2013) and MLS Defender of the Year (2012) honors. Zusi has earned 27 caps for the U.S. with three goals and six assists in his international career. He scored in the final two FIFA World Cup Qualifiers, highlighted by the game-winning goal against Jamaica at Sporting Park, to secure a first place finish in the Hexagonal for the U.S. He has played in 143 MLS matches (including postseason) with 18 goals and 40 assists. He was an MLS MVP finalist in 2012 and nominee for Best MLS Player at the 2013 ESPYS to go along with MLS All-Star (2012, 2013) and MLS Best XI (2012, 2013) recognition.

Sporting KC news & Notes (cont.) Sporting KC boasts strong record in Canada
Sporting KC signs midfielder Michael Kafari
Sporting KC’s six MLS regular season victories all-time on Canadian soil are second most in the League behind D.C. United’s eight. Since MLS expanded north of the American border with Toronto FC in 2007, Sporting KC has a 6-4-5 record against Canadian clubs on the road (3-3-3 at Toronto FC, 2-1-1 at Montreal Impact, 1-0-1 at Vancouver Whitecaps).
Sporting KC announced the signing of 22-year-old Michael Kafari on Tuesday. The native of Accra, Ghana moved to the United States in 2001 and helped lead the University of New Mexico to a 58-16-12 record with three goals and three assists during his collegiate career from 20102013. New Mexico became one of only three college programs to reach the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet Sixteen each of the last three seasons, beginning in 2011 when Kafari and the Lobos were eliminated by Dom Dwyer and the University of South Florida in a penalty shootout.
Peter Vermes’ men have faired well at Montreal in particular, as they are one of two teams with multiple victories at Stade Saputo since the Impact entered MLS in 2012. Montreal holds a 23-11-8 regular season record at home over the last three years.
Kronberg out eight weeks with fractured fourth metacarpal Sporting KC goalkeeper Eric Kronberg fractured the fourth metacarpal bone on his left hand during training on Wednesday. Surgery is not required and he will miss approximately eight weeks due to the injury. Kronberg leads MLS with seven shutouts and a 0.88 goals against average (minimum 400 minutes played) in 2014. The ninth-year professional is the club’s longest tenured player. Only one player (Davy Arnaud) in club history has been with the team for more than nine seasons and only three other active MLS players have longer tenures with their teams: Logan Pause (12), Landon Donovan (10) and Gonzalo Segares (10).
Jon Kempin recalled to Sporting KC Goalkeeper Jon Kempin has been recalled from his loan to USL PRO affiliate OKC Energy FC. He has five shutouts and 37 saves with a 1.38 goals against average in 13 games played during OKC Energy FC’s inaugural season. The 21-year-old became the club’s first homegrown player in 2010 and made his club debut in the 2012 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. In 2013, he made 34 saves in nine games while on loan with Orlando City SC.
Dwyer’s standout season continues Sporting KC forward Dom Dwyer bagged his 12th League goal of the season in a 1-1 draw against Chicago on Sunday, lifting him into a tie for second place in the MLS Golden Boot race. The goal also tied him for fourth on Sporting KC’s single-season goal scoring chart at the halfway point of the 2014 season. Dwyer needs seven goals in the remaining 17 games to break Preki’s long-standing record of 18 goals in 1996. Dwyer’s nine left-footed strikes are three more than any other player in MLS and his four penalty kick goals are tied for second-most in the League. His 63 shots and 26 shots on target rank first and second, respectively. Sporting KC’s match at the Montreal Impact on Saturday will be a welcome trip for Dwyer, who has scored a brace in each of the teams’ previous two meetings this year. Dwyer’s four goals against Montreal are the second most from any player against a single team in MLS this year.
Seven Sporting KC players in contention for All-Star Fan XI On Monday, Major League Soccer released the latest results from fan voting for the 2014 MLS All-Star Game in Portland, Oregon. Seven Sporting KC players are among the leaders at their respective positions. Captain Matt Besler is the leading vote getter among defenders, while his centerback partner Aurelien Collin is fourth and left back Seth Sinovic is sixth. Graham Zusi and Benny Feilhaber are the third and fifth-ranked midfielders, and goalkeeper Eric Kronberg ranks third. Dom Dwyer is sixth among forwards. The All-Star Fan XI—one goalkeeper, three defenders, four midfielders and three forwards—will be revealed on July 16. The 2014 MLS All-Star Game is set for Aug. 6 featuring German champions Bayern Munich.
The Vancouver Whitecaps selected Kafari in the third round of the 2014 MLS SuperDraft (No. 51 overall). He signed with their USL PRO affiliate Charleston Battery in mid-March after spending preseason with the Canadian club and made his competitive debut for Charleston on May 28 in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup third round.
Jimmy Medranda heads to OKC Energy FC on loan Sporting KC has loaned midfielder Jimmy Medranda to USL PRO affiliate OKC Energy FC, the club announced on Wednesday. The 20-year-old has made five career MLS appearances since joining Sporting KC from Deportivo Pereira (Colombia) last August. Medranda became the youngest player to appear in a match for the club during the 2013 MLS Cup championship campaign upon his MLS debut in September and started the team’s 2014 home opener for the first of four games played this year. He most recently came off the bench in a 1-0 loss at D.C. United on May 31.
Injuries and international duty test Sporting KC’s depth Through 17 games in the 2014 MLS regular season, Sporting KC has featured 17 different starting lineups. Peter Vermes’ lineup selection has been complicated by several factors throughout the year. In March, the club had to balance multiple competitions during the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals. In May, schedule congestion came to the forefront with seven MLS games during the month. To complicate matters, Chance Myers and Ike Opara have suffered season-ending injuries; Matt Besler, Graham Zusi and Lawrence Olum have seen extended international action; and Erik Palmer-Brown and Aurelien Collin have served one-game suspensions, with the latter also picking up a minor injury. As a result, 25 different players have started an MLS match for the club this season, most of all 19 teams. Sporting KC’s defense has been stretched most of all, with eight different players featuring in the centerback position during the 2014 campaign.
Sporting KC shutting opponents down on the road Coming on the heels of a 2-0 win at the Houston Dynamo on June 6, Sporting KC’s 1-0 win at the Portland Timbers on June 27 was historic. For just the third time in club history, Sporting KC registered consecutive shutout road wins in MLS competition (including postseason). The team has won at least two straight away games 13 times since 1996, but never posted consecutive clean sheets during those runs until 2011. Peter Vermes’ men achieved back-to-back shutout road victories for the first time ever when they notched four straight from October 2011 to April 2012, a streak that spanned two seasons (including the 2011 postseason). Sporting KC accomplished this feat for the second time when they rattled off three straight from August to September 2012. Sporting KC now has four away victories in 2014, second-most in MLS behind the Seattle Sounders’ five. Since the beginning of 2011, no team has more regular season road wins (24) or shutout road wins (13) than Sporting KC.

Sporting KC news & Notes (cont.) CONCACAF Champions League schedule determined
Sporting KC and Manchester City to battle for Champions Shield
CONCACAF has announced the dates and times for the 2014-15 CONCACAF Champions League group stage. Sporting KC is paired with Nicaraguan club Real Esteli and Costa Rican club Deportivo Saprissa in Group 2.
On July 23, Sporting KC will host defending English Premier League winner Manchester City FC at Sporting Park in a highly anticipated summer friendly. To commemorate the match between the reigning MLS and EPL champions, the winner of the game will receive the Champions’ Shield.
For the second straight year, Sporting KC will open the tournament at Real Esteli on Tuesday, August 19 at 9 p.m. CT. Sporting KC defeated Real Esteli 2-0 in their CCL opener in August 2013 and drew Esteli a month later 1-1 at Sporting Park. The defending MLS Cup champions will then return home for back-to-back matches at Sporting Park, hosting Saprissa on Thursday, Sept. 18 and Esteli on Tuesday, Sept. 23. Both matches will kick off at 7 p.m. CT. Sporting KC will conclude the group stage on Thursday, Oct. 23 at Saprissa.
Manchester City boasts a talented roster from top to bottom, including three players—Yaya Toure, Sergio Aguero and Edin Dzeko—who finished in the top six of the EPL’s goal-scoring charts during the 2013-14 season. Eleven players on the club’s current roster were named to the final 23man rosters for their respective countries at the World Cup.
The team with the most points at the conclusion of the CCL group stage will advance to the quarterfinal round in spring 2015. Peter Vermes’ men advanced to the 2013-14 quarterfinals in March against Mexican club and eventual champion Cruz Azul, losing 5-2 on aggregate. Deportivo Saprissa has won three CONCACAF Champions Cup titles (1993, 1995 and 2005) and features two players, Michael Umana and Yeltsin Tejeda, who helped Costa Rica advance to the 2014 FIFA World Cup quarterfinals. In May, Saprissa won their 30th league title in the Torneo de Verano final to become the most successful club in the history of the Costa Rican Primera Division. Real Esteli, the defending Clausura and Apertura champions in their domestic league, are the only Nicaraguan side to have participated in the competition and have qualified every year since the 2008-09 edition.
Paying the penalty Sporting KC has conceded five penalty kicks through 17 matches this season, already fifth-most most for a single season in franchise history. The team conceded seven penalties in 1998 and 2007 and six penalties in 2000 and 2006. This follows a League-wide trend, as 75 penalty kicks have been awarded through 158 MLS matches (0.47 per game, as of July 10). The whole 2013 regular season had 81 penalties (0.25 per game), while the 2012 campaign had 72 penalties (0.22 per game).
Red cards rising Sporting KC has suffered six red cards and received four during the 2014 season. The combined 10 ejections through 17 matches already equal the club’s 2013 total. Much like penalty kicks, red card numbers have increased League-wide this season. An average of 0.30 red cards have been shown per game (through July 10), up from 0.24 in 2013 and 0.18 in 2012.
First half lockdown Sporting KC has allowed four first half goals in MLS matches this season, fewest of any team. Two of those four goals were penalty kicks against the Chicago Fire on May 18, meaning Sporting KC has allowed just two first half goal from the run of play in 2014 MLS competition.
Sporting Park sellout streak Sporting Park has sold out 45 straight MLS matches, including four playoff games. The last time Sporting KC didn’t play in front of a sellout crowd was March 25, 2012. In those 45 matches, Sporting KC is 24-9-12, has recorded 15 shutouts, and has outscored their opponents 58-35.
Manchester City has won the English Premier League two of the past three seasons to go along with FA Cup and Capital One Cup titles in 2011 and 2014, respectively. They are one of four English clubs set to compete in the 2014-15 UEFA Champions League.
Kempin and Palmer-Brown selected to inaugural Homegrown Game Sporting KC Academy products Jon Kempin and Erik Palmer-Brown have been named to the 20-player roster for the 2014 Chipotle MLS Homegrown Game. The inaugural event will feature the League’s top Homegrown players against the Portland Timbers U-23s on Aug. 4 at Providence Park in Portland, Oregon as part of the festivities leading up to the 2014 AT&T MLS All-Star Game on Aug. 6. Kempin was Sporting KC’s first Homegrown player upon signing in 2010 at age 17 and is now in his fifth professional season. The Leawood, Kansas native most recently joined the United States U-21 Men’s National Team in April and has also trained with the U.S. U-23 Men’s National Team. Palmer-Brown became the youngest signing in club history at age 16 in August 2013 and is the youngest active player in MLS. The Lee’s Summit, Missouri native has logged five appearances for Sporting KC in all competition in 2014 and made his professional debut in May, becoming the youngest player in MLS history to start a regular season match as a defender. Palmer-Brown represented the United States at the U-15, U-17 and U-18 levels in 2013 en route to being named one of five finalists for U.S. Soccer’s Young Male Athlete of the Year. He most recently was a member of the U.S. Under-20 Men’s National Team that finished runnersup at the 2014 Dallas Cup in April.
Mikey Lopez recalled to Sporting KC Sporting KC recalled midfielder Mikey Lopez from his loan to OKC Energy FC on June 30. Lopez returns to the club after scoring his first goal in Energy FC’s 2-0 win over Sacramento Republic on June 28 and being named to the USL PRO’s Team of the Week. The 2013 MLS SuperDraft first round pick appeared in 14 matches while on loan with USL PRO affiliates Orlando City SC and Energy FC, scoring one goal and one assist.
Eric Kronberg named MLS Player of the Month for June Sporting KC goalkeeper Eric Kronberg was named MLS Player of the Month for June. He became the first goalkeeper to win the award since July 2011 and the second goalkeeper in club history to earn the honor (Tony Meola, May 2000). Kronberg kept clean sheets and recorded road wins in each of Sporting KC’s only two MLS matches in June. He made saves on all six shots faced, including five from inside the penalty area, and led all goalkeepers in the month with six punches. Kronberg is the second Sporting KC player to receive Player of the Month recognition in as many months. Forward Dom Dwyer was voted the league’s top performer in May with six goals scored.
