HOW #MLSISBACK WORKS What is the tournament format? • The 24 participating clubs have been divided into six groups of four teams each. • All clubs will play three group matches that count toward the regular season. • The top 16 teams from the group stage will advance to the knockout rounds. That field will include the top half of each group as well as the four best third-place finishers in Groups A through F. • A single-elimination bracket will unfold from the Round of 16 to the Championship. These single-leg matches will go straight to penalty kicks if tied after 90 minutes. • The tournament will feature a continuous schedule of matches nearly every day, with games beginning at 8 a.m., 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. CT. Most matches will be played in the evening. The group stage will see 16 consecutive days of MLS action from July 8-23.

2. A berth in the Concacaf Champions League Once the 26-team field is whittled to 16 teams for the knockout rounds, matches no longer count toward the regular season table. However, clubs will still be battling for the 2021 Scotiabank Concacaf Champions League berth that goes to the champion. Furthermore, this single-elimination bracket will give teams valuable experience in winor-go-home situations ahead of the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs further down the road. 3. Prize money The MLS is Back Tournament will dole out a total of $1.1 million in prize money to participating teams. The further Sporting advances in the competition, the more money players and coaches will bring back to Kansas City.

What are the important dates to know? • July 8-23: Group Stage • July 25-28: Round of 16 • July 30- Aug. 1: Quarterfinals • Aug. 5-6: Semifinals • Aug.11: Championship

Neutral-Site Matches Sporting will be the designated home team for its first two group stage games against Minnesota and Colorado before facing Real Salt Lake as the away side. But for all intents and purposes, these are neutral-site contests. Incredibly enough, Sporting has played just two true neutral-site matches in the club’s 906-game history across all competitions: the 2000 and 2004 MLS Cups. Kansas City defeated the Chicago Fire 1-0 in MLS Cup 2000 at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C. prior to falling 3-2 to D.C. United in MLS Cup 2004 at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California.

Are there any other special tournament rules? • The substitution limit for the tournament will follow the new protocol set by the IFAB and allow five substitutions per match, up from the standard three. • Teams can name a matchday roster of 23 players, up from the standard 18. • As is the case during regular MLS play, the Professional Referees Organization (PRO) will have access to Video Review for all games.

On June 21, 2009, Kansas City faced Mexican side Atlas in a faux-neutral-site game at Hermann Stadium in St. Louis, Missouri. The Wizards were technically the home team but chose to play the SuperLiga matchup four hours east of Kansas City to give St. Louis soccer fans the opportunity to catch a game between two top-flight North American clubs.

What will happen after the tournament ends? • MLS plans to continue its regular season later this summer with a revised schedule in home markets. • The regular season will be followed by the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs and the 25th MLS Cup. The revised regular season schedule will be released at a later date. 3

Sporting KC Game Notes | July 26, 2020 vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes ONTO THE KNOCKOUT STAGE

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

RUSSELL & GERSO BAG FIRSTS

Sporting Kansas City advanced to the Knockout Stage of the MLS is Back Tournament following a solid 2-0 victory over rivals Real Salt Lake on Wednesday morning behind goals from Johnny Russell and Gerso Fernandes. Sporting’s opponent in the Round of 16 is Vancouver Whitecaps FC, and the two sides will face off Sunday night at 10 p.m. CT on FS1. Sporting already defeated Vancouver once in 2020, claiming a 3-1 victory in the season opener on Feb. 29.

Sporting Kansas City enjoyed production from a pair of wingers that are usually amongst the goals to lead the side to a 2-0 victory over Real Salt Lake in the Group D finale on Wednesday morning. Johnny Russell scored within 49 seconds, before Gerso Fernandes came off the bench to add the insurance goal in the 86th minute. It marked a first goal of the season for both players. For Russell, it was his 20th regularseason goal for Sporting KC since joining the club ahead of the 2018 campaign, allowing him to join the club’s record book with 0.32 goals per game - a stat only calculated for players with 20 or more goals. That places him fourth in the club’s history, trailing only Dom Dwyer, Kei Kamara and Preki.

Sporting took six of a possible nine points available in the group stage - points that also count toward the regular season, leaving the side atop the Western Conference with a 4-1-0 record (12 pts.) and just one point behind Columbus Crew SC (4-0-1, 13 pts.) in the Supporters’ Shield standings. Sporting also finished first in Group D - branded the “Group of Death” heading in the tournament as all four teams were unbeaten with a combined 6-0-2 record following the first two games of the regular season.

Gerso has been a terror coming off the bench for Sporting this season, providing a much-needed spark in the second half of games. His goal came after a lengthy build-up that saw all 11 SKC players on the field touch the ball at least once - total football some would say. Gerso now has 24 goals and 18 assists in all competitions for Sporting KC.

Peter Vermes’ side suffered a frustarting 2-1 defeat against Minnesota United to open the tournament on July 12 where Sporting conceded twice in second-half stoppage time, before rebounding with a hard-fought 3-2 victory over the Colorado Rapids on July 17. Sporting knew a draw would’ve been enough to advance against RSL, but the isde produced a dominant performance to claim first place in the group.

PULIDO PROVIDES PAIR OF ASSISTS

Sporting Kansas City Designated Player Alan Pulido continued to show his brilliance with a pair of assists in Sporting’s 2-0 victory over Real Salt Lake on Wednesday morning. The Mexican striker now has three goals and four assists in just five games in 2020.

Vancouver snuck through the group stage by the skin of their teeth. Former Sporting KC II head coach Marc Dos Santos and his side entered the final game of the group stage knowing they needed a two-goal victory against Chicago to clinch one of the four best third-place finishes. After a 90-minute weather delay in the second half, Vancouver roared out of the gates and scored twice in quick succession and then hung on for a 2-0 win to advance with a 1-2-0 record.

In terms of goal contributions, Pulido’s seven ranks second in MLS, one behind LAFC’s coveted winger Diego Rossi (6g, 2a). When you look at assists alone, Pulido ranks 2nd in the league, one behind Toronto talisman Alejandro Pozuelo. Pulido also extended his own club record for most games with a goal or an assist to start a SKC career to five. Of the 230+ Designated Players in MLS history, Pulido is the third to record a goal or assist in each of his first five regular season games. Federico Higuain (CLB, 2012) and Brian Fernandez (POR, 2019) are the other two – and neither had a goal or assist in their sixth game, giving Pulido a chance to make history on Sunday.

WHITECAPS WAITING IN ROUND OF 16

Sporting Kansas City will face off against a familiar opponent in Sunday night’s Round of 16 clash against Vancouver Whitecaps FC at the MLS is Back Tournament. Vancouver is one of five sides that Sporting has already faced in 2020, dispatching the Canadian side by a 3-1 scoreline in the season opener at BC Place on Feb. 29, 2020. Sporting is 10-3-4 all-time vs. Vancouver in the regular season.

MELIA RETURNS, KEEPS CLEAN SHEET

Sporting Kansas City enjoyed a boost with the return of goalkeeper Tim Melia during Wednesday morning’s 2-0 victory over Real Salt Lake that propelled the side to a firstplace finish in Group D. Melia served a one-game suspension during the 3-2 win over the Colorado Rapids last Friday, having been sent off in the tournament opener.

Sporting’s newest stars shone bright that day, as Designated Player Alan Pulido opened the scoring off fellow newcomer Roberto Puncec’s assist, before Jake Nerwinski equalized for the Whitecaps in a rare attack. SKC reclaimed the lead before halftime, when Luis Martins picked out debutant Gadi Kinda on the edge of the area and the Isreali slammed a stunning effort into the top corner. With Sporting seeing the game out late, former Whitecaps striker Erik Hurtado added the icing on the cake, volleying home Gerso Fernandes’ cross.

Melia was a calming influence on the squad as Sporting limited RSL to just five shots throughout the game, and just one on goal in the first half that Melia repelled on his way to recording his 47th MLS regular-season shutout for the club. The 34-year-old gloveman is already the club’s all-time leader among goalkeepers for shutouts (47), wins (65) and games played (151), ranking above legendary goalkeepers Tony Meola and Jimmy Nielsen in those categories. The only records the latter ‘keepers still hold are saves (Meola with 507) and goals against average (Nielsen with 0.99).

Vancouver is led by second-year head coach Marc Dos Santos, who coached Sporting Kansas City II during the club’s inaugural season in the USL Championship in 2016. Dos Santos led a spirited Sporting II side to the USL Cup Final that year before falling to New York Red Bulls II - a side that included current U.S. National Team defender Aaron Long and RB Leipzig midfielder Tyler Adams.

Since Melia was off the field for the four goals conceded by Sporting during the MLS is Back Tournament, he hasn’t yet conceded a goal in Orlando. Across his four appearances this season, Melia has conceded just once - coming in the 3-1 victory over Vancouver at BC Place where Sporting opened the season on Feb. 29. That leaves Melia with an impressive 0.26 goals against average on the season, and his 316-minute shutout streak leads the league.

In 2019, Sporting - despite enduring a disappointing campaign - claimed the season series 1-0-1 against the Whitecaps. Vancouver salvaged a late 1-1 draw at Children’s Mercy Park on May 18 when Derek Cornelius volleyed home in stoppage time to cancel out Krisztian Nemeth’s opener. Sporting romped to a 3-0 victory in the return fixture, as Gerso forced an own goal in the first half before Felipe Gutierrez doubled the advantage early in the second half. Gerso got his well-earned goal late on, just two days before the birth of his first child - Gerso Jr.

WHAT HE’S SAYING: PETER VERMES

On the changes to the starting lineup against Real Salt Lake: “I think that it was the right group to go and get the job done in the way that we wanted to play. I already knew the subs prior to the game. We spoke a lot about how we thought the game would go and where we would have to add energy, especially late in the game because we knew that they would make a push. I thought that we finished the game really, really strong on two fronts – physically and also the way we managed the game. The changes were based on trying to get the win and the result in this game.”

FROM EARLIEST TO LATEST IN FOUR DAYS

Sporting Kansas City will go from one extreme to the other this week, as the club played its earliest ever game on Wednesday morning with a 9 a.m. ET start in Orlando and will now turn around to play at 11 p.m. ET on Sunday night in the Round of 16 of the MLS is Back Tournament. The early start on Wednesday did Sporting no harm.The side came flying out of the gates and took the lead within 49 seconds as Johnny Russell fired home after a corner resulted goalmouth scramble. While it was certainly the earliest in the day Sporting has ever scored a goal, it was the fourth earliest goal in a game in the club’s history, and the earliest since Chance Myers scored 41 seconds into a match against Portland in 2013. The only earlier goals SKC has scored came from Davy Arnaud at 33 seconds in 2003 and Scott Sealy at 36 seconds in 2006.

On the team getting acclimated to the conditions: “Subs and the changes and everything just have to do with the accumulation of games in a short period of time. The climate and all of those things have a piece to that. Also, certain guys come into games and give certain qualities that you need against other opponents.” On the favorites in the Knockout Round: “We were never one of the favorites. I don’t believe that they believe that we are one of the favorites. And I don’t think we’re one of the favorites. I think the best team at the tournament thus far has been San Jose. They’ve played very well. They’ve found different ways to win games. They’ve fought. They’ve defended. They’ve done it all. They’re the favorites to win the tournament from my perspective at this moment. I don’t think we are and I don’t think we deserve to be.”

With the oddity that Sporting scored in the first minute of a game, it also marked the first time in club history that the side has led a match from the first minute to the final minute. Sporting now shifts focus to Sunday night’s clash with Vancouver Whitecaps FC at 11 p.m. local time, meaning the game likely won’t finish until almost 1 a.m. in Orlando providing a whole different challenge for the players on the field.

DECISION

July 12, 2020 vs. MIN Joe Dickerson Armando Villarreal MIN Goal Overturned, No Goal After MIN’s Ethan Finlay puts the ball into the back of the net from close range, Dickerson consults with his VAR Villarreal who flags that Kevin Molino was offside and screening SKC goalkeeper Tim Melia in the lead-up to the goal. July 17, 2020 vs. COL Dave Gantar Rubiel Vazquez COL Yellow Card Overturned, Red Card SKC’s Khiry Shelton is brought down by COL’s Danny Wilson while through on goal. Referee Dave Gantar initially shows Wilson a yellow card, but after consulting with his VAR, changes his decision to a red card for denial of an obvious goalscoring opportunity. July 17, 2020 vs. COL Dave Gantar Rubiel Vazquez SKC No Penalty Overturned, Penalty SKC’s Graham Zusi whips in a cross from the right that deflects off COL’s Diego Rubio’s elbow and out for a corner. After consulting with his VAR, referee Dave Gantar awards SKC a penalty for handball.

Sporting KC Game Notes | July 26, 2020 vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes Manager & Sporting Director | Peter Vermes

Assistant Coach | Kerry Zavagnin Assistant Coach Kerry Zavagnin first joined Kansas City in 2000 as a holding midfielder and was an integral part of the club’s midfield for the next nine seasons, during which time he helped lead the Wizards to MLS Cup (2000) and U.S. Open Cup (2004) Championships. He was named to the MLS All-Star team and the Best XI in 2004. 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 in his 12th season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2020 and is the longest-tenured active head coach in MLS. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 182 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 regularseason 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 147 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 421 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 over 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 fourth 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, Sporting Kansas City II (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 Figueres 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 Sporting KC II 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 season 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.

MLS Regular Season Whitecaps FC record: 3W-10L-4D - Home: 2W-5L-2D (11 GF, 18 GA) - Road: 1W-5L-2D (8 GF, 18 GA) Tonight is the second meeting of 2020.

HASAL SOLID IN FIRST MLS START 21-year old Homegrown product Thomas Hasal made his first start on Thursday versus Chicago Fire FC and recorded four saves in the 2-0 shutout win. He came off the bench on July 19 versus Seattle Sounders FC to replace Maxime Crépeau, who has been ruled out of the tournament with a fracctured left thumb. Hasal has not allowed a goal in his 122 minutes so far. Crépeau will be scheduled to undergo surgery in Metro Vancouver and the club will continue to provide updates when available. Goalkeeper Bryan Meredith is currently away with his family in New Jersey following the sudden passing of his mother last week. The 'Caps acquired Jonathan Sirois on loan from Montreal Impact to serve as backup for the Chicago Fire FC match, and he rejoined Montreal following the win. Marc Dos Santos on Hasal's first start: “Thomas has this very cold type of attitude towards things, not that he doesn't care about it. Not that he doesn't have a big heart, because he does, but he's so tuned in and so focused. We saw signs in him since preseason and going into San Diego, when we were in preseason and he played Dallas and he played Columbus, some minutes there. It was always like that. Sometimes there was moments that were a little bit shaky where decision making wasn't good. But there's a lot of good things that he did, and I'm happy for him. I'm sure it's a dream start when you get your opportunity and you could tell everyone that his first game in MLS that he plays 90 minutes is a huge day for the Vancouver Whitecaps. We all have to do a good job to develop this kid. Me, the staff, Raegyn [Hall] has done a great job in our academy, to help push up Thomas, Youssef [Dahha] has done a great job with him to continue the work that Raegyn did. He's still young, he still needs to put be put in situations. He's going to do mistakes also, and we have to understand that.”
