VANCOUVER WHITECAPS FC vs SPORTING KANSAS CITY BC PLACE, Vancouver, B.C. July 12, 2015 (WEEK 19, MLS Game #193) 6 p.m. PT (TSN1; KMCI-38) A pair of clubs in heart of the chase for playoff positions in the Western Conference meet for the first time this season when Vancouver Whitecaps FC play host to Sporting Kansas City on Sunday evening at BC Place. Whitecaps FC are back at home for the first time in more than a month, their three-game winning run on their five-game road swing put to an end last weekend in a 2-1 loss at the Colorado Rapids. Sporting return to action after a weekend off, extending their home undefeated streak with a 2-0 win against those same Rapids two weeks ago at Sporting Park. REFEREE: Kevin Stott.

Whitecaps FC are in a tie for first place in the Western Conference with 32 points from 19 matches. LAST MATCH  The Rapids were ahead just two minutes into the match. Luis Solignac attacked down the left flank and sent in a cross for Vicente Sanchez to finish with a chip shot from inside the area.  Whitecaps FC pulled even after 20 minutes. An acrobatic play at the endline in the right corner by Mauro Rosales kept the ball in play, and he sent a looping cross to the far post which fell to the feet of Kekuta Manneh, who tapped it in from on the doorstep of the goal.  The eventual winner came 11 minutes into the second half. On a delivery from Lucas Pittinari, Kevin Doyle powered a header toward goal from the heart of the area which deflected off the base of the right post and past 'Caps goalkeeper David Ousted.  Whitecaps FC head coach Carl Robinson made three changes to the team that defeated the New England Revolution 2-1 at Gillette Stadium. Kendall Waston came back from suspension for Tim Parker, Gershon Koffie came back from suspension for Matias Laba, and Darren Mattocks came in up top in place of Octavio Rivero.  VANCOUVER WHITECAPS FC (4-2-3-1): David Ousted - Steven Beitashour, Kendall Waston, Pa-Modou Kah (Diego Rodriguez 28), Jordan Harvey - Deybi Flores, Gershon Koffie - Cristian Techera (Nicolas Mezquida 67), Mauro Rosales, Kekuta Manneh - Darren Mattocks (Octavio Rivero 67). TEAM NEWS  Whitecaps FC concluded their five-game road swing with three wins and two losses, a three-game winning streak put to an end in the defeat at Colorado.  “You get greedy in football once you win a game – then the second game you look as a bonus game, but you feel you can win it. We've come off the back of three wins and we tried to be greedy [vs. Colorado],” said

Whitecaps FC head coach Carl Robinson. “We felt we could have and if we'd played to our levels, we should have won. We know Colorado's a difficult team. They've had things go against them recently, but we let them off the hook.” Whitecaps FC also allowed two goals after allowing just two total over the previous three matches. The ‘Caps have not allowed more than two goals in any game since the 3-1 defeat by Toronto FC to start the season March 7 at BC Place. "We did play some good football, but there's no point in playing good football if you switch off and don't do the basics in defending," Robinson said. "You can analyze both goals, and individuals didn't do their jobs and their roles and responsibilities, which is why today we're walking away with nothing." Kekuta Manneh scored the Vancouver goal, his third goal in the last four games. Manneh now has four goals this season, matching his league total of a year ago, two shy of the six goals he scored in his rookie campaign in 2013. Mauro Rosales collected his first assist of the season, and has four in 23 league appearances with Whitecaps FC since arriving partway through last season. Rosales had 11 assists in 2014, split between Seattle and Vancouver. Steven Beitashour was credited with his fourth assist of the season, his second in the last three matches. The four assists are the most Beitashour has had in a season since recording six in 2012 with San Jose. “We're obviously disappointed that we didn't pick up anything from the game,” Robinson said. “I think if you look at it overall, the 90 minutes, there were a number of players who performed to their levels, there were a number of players that dropped their levels slightly. They took two chances, we took one.”

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City returned to their winning ways last time out, defeating the Colorado Rapids 2-0 on June 27 at Sporting Park. Sporting are in fifth place in the Western Conference with 24 points from 15 matches. LAST MATCH  Sporting hit for the opener in the 32nd minute. Right back Chance Myers got down the line on the overlap and sent in a low cross for Krisztian Nemeth, who drove the ball past a sprawling Clint Irwin and just inside the post.  The lead was doubled in the 64th minute. Benny Feilhaber sent in a long cross from the right flank from a short corner, but as the ball bobbled around near the goal, it went off Rapids midfielder Sam Cronin and past Irwin for an own goal.  SKC manager Peter Vermes made two changes to the team that fell 2-1 to Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium. Chance Myers and Marcel de Jong came into the back four in place of Jalil Anibaba and Amadou Dia.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Tim Melia - Chance Myers (Amadou Dia 90), Kevin Ellis, Matt Besler, Marcel de Jong (Saad Abdul-Salaam 78) - Soni Mustivar - Benny Feilhaber, Roger Espinoza - Graham Zusi, Dom Dwyer, Krisztian Nemeth (Jacob Peterson 71). TEAM NEWS  Sporting Kansas City has not lost back-to-back games this season; they have lost just once over their last nine games, dating back to April 25.  “I think our style of play is a little more evolved and I think that's what has been able to get us the kind of results we're getting right now. Especially when teams try to sit back, we have a lot of dangerous guys, a lot of ways to break them down,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes. “We're finding ways, whether it's through the run of play or also set pieces to score goals. You have to be dangerous in all the parts of the game, especially when you're going to goal. … When you look at the combination of those things and the evolution of our style of play and the intelligence of the players that we have, it starts to yield the kind of results that we're looking for, especially here at home.”  SKC won a fifth consecutive home game in the victory against Colorado, two wins shy of the club’s all-time record for a home winning streak set twice previously (1998 and 2000). They extended their home undefeated streak to nine matches (6-0-3 this season), one game shy of the club’s all-time record, set in 2008.  “What I don't think a lot of other people take into account, when other teams come here to play, they're excited about playing here,” said Vermes. “What happens is, over time, the intensity and pace of the game, it's very hard for them to stay up with it because the fans aren't there for them. They just feel the energy at the beginning, and then what takes over is our team, and the crowd just gets louder and louder as the game goes on. Next thing you know we just overpower them.”  Benny Feilhaber recorded an assist in the Colorado match, his ninth of the season, now second in MLS. Feilhaber has two goals and two assists over the last four games, with either a goal or an assist in each one.  Krisztian Nemeth scored his seventh goal of the season, his first since May 29, and is one of seven players tied for seventh in the MLS Golden Boot standings. Nemeth has taken seven shots on target this season and scored on each – the first player in MLS history to score on his first seven attempts on target over the course of a single season.

Said Rapids head coach Pablo Mastroeni: “If you give that guy an inch of room he scores, and that for me was the defining moment of the game. He’s one of those guys that doesn’t have to be involved for 90-plus minutes. He picks and chooses his moment, and when he strikes he’s very good. To be fair, he reminds of Landon (Donovan) – the ability to really find the corner with pace and trajectory from the service he uses. He’s really dynamic and clinical.” Making his first league appearance of the season after his 2014 season was cut short in May with an Achilles tendon rupture, Chance Myers came into the back four at right back – and set up the Nemeth goal. “He suffered a serious injury,” Vermes said. “For him to be back and be playing at the level he's playing at this point, it's tremendous. I'm very happy to see the way that he's playing for him and, more importantly, for the club. He's a big part of the success we've had and will continue to have in the future.” Following the league victory, Sporting roared into the U.S. Open Cup quarterfinals with a 6-2 victory against FC Dallas in their fifth-round tie. Dom Dwyer scored four goals for SKC – three in the first half – and Krisztian Nemeth added the other two. Here’s the SKC team: Tim Melia, Jalil Anibaba, Kevin Ellis, Matt Besler, Amadou Dia, Benny Feilhaber (Paulo Nagamura 62), Soni Mustivar, Roger Espinoza, Jacob Peterson (Saad Abdul-Salaam 50), Dom Dwyer, Krisztian Nemeth (Connor Hallisey 75). “I’ve wanted a hat trick for this club for a while, so I’m very happy to get one,” Dwyer said. “And I got an extra one, and I finally scored a free kick. So that was good.”

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 including an extensive youth development and grassroots participation programs, facility development, and community relations to support specific initiatives related to health and wellness through soccer. Whitecaps FC were the 17th club admitted to MLS on March 18, 2009, and on March 19, 2011, Vancouver kicked off their inaugural year in MLS at Empire Field before moving into the renovated BC Place in downtown Vancouver.

In 2012, the Blue & White made history by becoming the first Canadian MLS club to qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs and returned to the postseason last year. In addition to qualifying for the MLS Cup Playoffs in two of four seasons, the ’Caps have won back-to-back Cascadia Cup titles in 2013 and 2014. 2015 is Vancouver’s 41st season of professional soccer, and 29th consecutive season.

VANCOUVER WHITECAPS FC VS. SPORTING KANSAS CITY – MEDIA NOTES

MATCH NOTES HEAD-TO-HEAD Vancouver Whitecaps FC hold an all-time record of 1W2L-2D, including a 1W-1L-1D record at home, against Sporting Kansas City. This is the first of two meetings between the two sides this year. LAST MEETING Whitecaps FC defeated then-defending MLS Cup champions Sporting KC 2-0 in their last meeting on August 10, 2014, at BC Place. On 17 minutes, a dangerous ball up field from midfielder Pedro Morales caught SKC defender Igor Juliao out of sorts, leaving him to head it past goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum and into the net for an own goal and a 1-0 lead for Whitecaps FC. In the 39th minute, after picking up the ball at midfield, Morales cut past his defender and fed striker Darren Mattocks on a clear breakaway, which was promptly finished for a 2-0 lead. It was Morales’ ninth assist of the year, tying the WFC MLS club record for assists in a season. ‘CAPS BOUNCING BACK STRONG The ’Caps are 4W-1L-1D this season when coming off a loss on their previous match. The only occasions they did not follow a loss with a win was at Portland Timbers on May 2, where they earned a tough scoreless draw on the road, and May 23 when they lost 1-0 at Colorado Rapids. Also, since the beginning of 2014, WFC are 8W-2L-4D on their first home match after a road trip. THREE-PEAT FOR OUSTED Goalkeeper David “The Great Dane” Ousted has won three consecutive Save of the Weeks. Ousted was also named MLS Player of the Month for June. 2015 GOLD CUP UPDATE Midfielder Russell Teibert and striker Darren Mattocks are away for the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup. Teibert and Sporting Kansas City defender Marcel de Jong are teammates on the Canadian national team, while Mattocks is lacing up for Jamaica. The two national sides are together in Group B.

On Wednesday in StubHub Center, Teibert came in as an 82nd-minute substitute and helped Canada preserve a scoreless draw with El Salvador. In the earlier match, Mattocks and Jamaica earned a point when they tied Costa Rica 2-2. Mattocks entered the match in the 60th minute. Canada and Jamaica play each other on Saturday. The earliest Teibert and Mattocks will be back with WFC is on July 18 at Portland Timbers, depending on how far Canada and Jamaica advance in the tournament. SIGNING SEASON Major League Soccer’s secondary transfer window, which allows teams to both acquire players currently under contract in another country and make trades within MLS, opened on Wednesday. Does Robinson expect the ‘Caps to be busy? “We’re always looking and I think every team will do that,” he said. “Will we be signing an Andrea Pirlo? Probably not, no. But we’re always looking to try and add. I’m very content with the group we’ve got. There’s a great spirit in amongst them. If someone becomes available that I think would add to that, not harm or hurt that, then I’ll look to add it. And I can do because there are things on the table that I can maybe look at, but I’m in no rush. We’re okay at the moment.” TARGETED ALLOCATION MONEY Another thing Robinson has to ponder this year is the league’s new “Targeted Allocation” mechanism, which provides all MLS clubs up to $500,000 in additional allocation money to invest in their rosters outside of the player salary budget. This allows teams to acquire or re-sign players to a salary higher than the league max ($436,250) – without actually exceeding the allocated three Designated Player slots. Alternatively, teams can use the new mechanism to convert a Designated Player (DP) into a non-DP by “buying down,” which would free up another DP slot. The ‘Caps are currently at the DP max with Matias Laba, Pedro Morales, and Octavio Rivero.

Sporting KC Game Notes | July 12, 2015 at Vancouver Whitecaps FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #VANvSKC: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#VANvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting KC and Vancouver have met five times since the Whitecaps entered MLS in 2011. They most recently squared off last August when a Darren Mattocks strike and an own goal gave Vancouver a 2-0 victory at BC Place. Pedro Morales assisted Mattocks’ goal which doubled the Whitecaps’ lead just before halftime. Sporting KC homegrown goalkeeper Jon Kempin made his MLS debut in that match, coming off the bench in the second half and saving a penalty kick after replacing the injured Andy Gruenebaum. Sporting KC was victorious in its first ever trip to BC Place in April 2012. Aurelien Collin, Kei Kamara and an own goal secured a 3-1 win for the visitors, who moved to a perfect 7-0-0 record. Chance Myers provided a second-half assist to Kamara to make the score 3-0 before Sebastien Le Toux notched a consolation goal late in the game. Sunday’s contest is the first of two regular season matches between the clubs this season. Sporting KC will host Vancouver on Aug. 15.

Sporting KC Game Notes | July 12, 2015 at Vancouver Whitecaps FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES SPORTING KC HEADS NORTH OF THE BORDER TO FACE VANCOUVER Following the club’s second bye week of the 2015 season, Sporting KC (7-3-6, 27 points) returns to MLS action Sunday when they face Vancouver Whitecaps FC (10-72, 32 points) at BC Place in Vancouver, Canada. Sporting KC is in sixth place in the Western Conference but leads MLS with 1.69 points per game and has at least two games in hand on all five clubs above them in the standings. Sporting KC’s three losses are the fewest in MLS and their fewest through 16 regular season matches since 2000. Peter Vermes’ side has suffered just one defeat in their last 11 matches across all competitions, including a seven-game home winning streak at Sporting Park. Vancouver is tied atop the West with 10 victories—tied for most in MLS—but is coming off a 2-1 defeat at the Colorado Rapids last Saturday. First-year forward Octavio Rivero leads the Whitecaps with seven goals while veteran Pedro Morales has contributed three goals and four assists from midfield. Carl Robinson’s side will represent Canada in the 2015-16 CONCACAF Champions League this fall after finishing with a franchise-record 50 points in 2014 (12-8-14), the most among Major League Soccer’s three Canadian teams. Both teams will have two players absent while competing at the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup. Sporting KC is without winger Graham Zusi (United States) and defender Marcel de Jong (Candada), while Vancouver misses forward Darren Mattocks (Jamaica) and homegrown midfielder Russell Teibert (Canada).

MELIA STEPPING UP Longtime backup goalkeeper Tim Melia has started the last 10 matches for Sporting KC in all competitions, compiling a 7-1-2 record with six clean sheets. His strong start with the club includes five MLS shutouts and a league-best 0.63 GAA. In Sporting KC’s 1-0 win over first-place Seattle on June 6, Melia notched a career-high six saves and became the first keeper in club history to go unbeaten in his first six MLS appearances. The sixth-year veteran was signed in the offseason after previously representing Real Salt Lake (2010-2011) and Chivas USA (2012-2014), where he backed up MLS All-Stars Nick Rimando (RSL) and Dan Kennedy (Chivas USA).

The 30-year-old World Cup veteran won Etihad Airways MLS Player of the Month for April and looks likely to receive MLS AllStar honors for the first time in 2015. Following a three-assist outing in Sporting KC’s 6-2 Open Cup win over FC Dallas on July 1, Feilhaber now has assists in four straight games to give him 13 across all competitions this year. With more than half the season to play, he is on pace to shatter Preki’s single-season assist record in all competitions for the club (18 in 2003).

SPORTING KC HITS SIX PAST FC DALLAS TO ADVANCE IN OPEN CUP Dom Dwyer became the first player in team history to score four goals in a competitive match as Sporting KC earned an emphatic 6-2 victory over FC Dallas on July 1 to advance to the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup quarterfinals. Krisztian Nemeth added two goals on the record-setting night at Sporting Park to leave both players sharing the team lead with nine goals across all competition this season. Benny Feilhaber earned three assists on the night—a first in U.S. Open Cup history for the club—to become the team’s all-time assist leader in the competition. He set up each of Dwyer’s first two goals, delivering a corner kick in the fifth minute that was headed home by Dwyer at the back post and then setting up a second header for the Englishman with his service off a free kick in the 30th minute. Sporting KC’s seventh straight home win see the team move on to host the Houston Dynamo in the Open Cup quarterfinals on Tuesday, July 21, at Sporting Park.

Prior to this year, the team had scored four goals on three instances in a six-game span only once (back in 1996) in 20 seasons. By comparison, SKC struck four goals three times in all of 2014 and three times from 2011-2013 combined. The club also ranks second in MLS with 29 assists, including nine from Benny Feilhaber and four each from Jalil Anibaba and Graham Zusi. With first-year forward Krisztian Nemeth and midfield talisman Feilhaber leading the way, the club’s recent scoring output has reached heights rarely seen in club history. Victories over New England (May 20) and FC Dallas (May 29) saw SKC bag four goals twice in one month for the first time since August of the inaugural 1996 season. The Dallas win also marked the third time in team history that Kansas City has scored four goals in consecutive MLS home games. Sporting KC carried their scoring form into the U.S. Open Cup Round of 16 on July 1, tying a single-game club record with six goals in a 6-2 win over FC Dallas.

DOMINANT DWYER BAGS FOUR In a 6-2 Open Cup win over FC Dallas on July 1, Dom Dwyer became the first player in Kansas City history to score four goals in a single match. He claimed his hattrick in the 41st minute, converting a penalty kick to record the first ever hat-trick at Sporting Park and the only first-half hat-trick in team history.

MYERS MAKES EMPHATIC RETURN Playing his first MLS match in more than a year, Chance Myers made up for lost time on June 27. Sidelined since May 2014 with an Achilles injury, Myers made a seamless return to the lineup and earned Team of the Week recognition from MLSsoccer.com and Bleacher Report in his first league game back. The defender turned in a tireless performance, highlighted by his game-winning assist to Krisztian Nemeth in Sporting KC’s 2-0 win over the Colorado Rapids. Myers finished the night with a game-high three chances created and stayed on the field until deep into second-half stoppage time. His evening ended when he was replaced by Amadou Dia and received a standing ovation from a sold-out Sporting Park crowd. Myers, an eighth-year MLS veteran and Sporting KC’s longest-tenured player, had missed the club’s previous 44 games in all competitions before returning. He has four goals and 16 assists in 147 appearances for the club in all competitions since being drafted No. 1 overall in the 2008 MLS SuperDraft. He led all MLS players between 2011 and 2013 with 91 successful crosses from open play and was the highest-rated outside back in the 2013 MLS Castrol Index.

ZUSI AND DE JONG IN ACTION AT 2015 CONCACAF GOLD CUP The United States Men’s National Team opened the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup on Monday with a 2-1 win over Honduras at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas. Forward Clint Dempsey scored both goals as the U.S. moved atop of Group C after the first round of matches. Sporting KC midfielder Graham Zusi earned his 30th cap for the national team when he entered the match in the 87th minute for LA Galaxy forward Gyasi Zardes. The match was Zusi’s second for the national team in 2015 after he started and played 45 minutes in a 4-0 friendly win over Guatemala on July 3. Elsewhere, Sporting KC defender Marcel de Jong Started and played 90 minutes as Canada opened the Gold Cup with a 0-0 draw against El Salvador on Tuesday in Carson, California. It was the 34th international appearance for de Jong, who has represented Canada in each of the last four Gold Cups since 2009. ROAD WARRIORS Sporting KC has won 30 road matches in MLS since the beginning of 2011, tied for most in the league, including eight away wins in each of the previous three regular seasons. Their 24 road wins from 2012-2014 are the most of any MLS club over a three-year span during the non-shootout era (2000-present). SKC is the only MLS team with a .500 road record since the beginning of 2011 (including postseason), compiling a 30-30-20 mark away from home.

TOUGH TO BEAT Sporting KC has been hard to beat during the first four months of the 2015 campaign. Their three league losses are two fewer than any other team and the second-fewest through 16 games in team history. The 2000 Kansas City Wizards, led by then-centerback Peter Vermes, started 10-2-4 en route to winning the club’s first Supporters’ Shield title and MLS Cup.

Five of those wins have seen SKC shut out their opponent.

Gansler is Kansas City’s winningest coach in club history, having compiled an 86-85-51 regular season record from 1999-2006 and winning 108 games in all competitions. Vermes earned his 100th career coaching win in all competitions on May 29 as Sporting KC beat FC Dallas 4-0. He has a 104-71-56 record since taking over in August 2009 and is the only person to win MLS Cup as both a player (2000) and coach (2013) with the same team. SPORTING KC A SET PIECE THREAT Through their first 16 MLS matches of the season, Sporting KC has been one of the league’s most dangerous teams on set pieces. In addition to scoring eight goals directly off set pieces, the team has accumulated multiple statistics that illustrate their set piece prowess: SKC leads MLS with 39 chances created from set plays, eight assists from set plays and eight headed goals. Dom Dwyer also scored four set-piece goals in SKC’s 6-2 Open Cup win over FC Dallas on July 1, heading home two Benny Feilhaber free kicks before dispatching a penalty kick and a free kick of his own. EIGHT SPORTING KC PLAYERS UP FOR ALL-STAR RECOGNITION On July 3, MLS closed the fan ballot for the 2015 AT&T MLS All-Star Game, featuring eight representatives from all 20 teams. The Fan XI will be announced Monday when the United States faces Panama in the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup at Sporting Park.

A total of 32 All-Stars (four goalkeepers, eight defenders, 13 midfielders and seven forwards) are named each year. Media, fans, players, the All-Star coach and MLS Commissioner Don Garber all contribute in the selection process. Four of SKC’s eight nominees are in contention for the first All-Star honors of their MLS careers: Tim Melia, Jalil Anibaba, Benny Feilhaber and Krisztian Nemeth. Besler and Zusi have each been named MLS All-Stars on three occasions while Dwyer (2014) and Espinoza (2012) have also received All-Star recognition during their respective careers.
