MLS GAME INFORMATION


TORONTO FC Toronto FC extended their undefeated run to three matches, coming back for another draw in a 2-2 tie with the Houston Dynamo on Saturday evening at BBVA Compass Stadium. TFC sit in third place in the Eastern Conference, with 26 points from 17 matches. LAST MATCH  The Dynamo took advantage of a gaffe to take an 11th-minute lead. Defender Bradley Orr hit an errant pass intended for goalkeeper Joe Bendik, and Dynamo striker Will Bruin pounced on the mistake and beat Bendik to the ball, slotting home the opener into an empty goal.  But TFC drew level seven minutes later. Finding himself in space 10 yards from goal, Gilberto had time to take a heavy touch and fire past Dynamo 'keeper Tally Hall for the equalizer.  The home side were back in front just eight minutes later. Ricardo Clark played Giles Barnes into space, and he was allowed to take his time and strike a low, 25-yard rolling shot that beat Bendik to his left.  Toronto FC had a glorious chance to again equalize in the 28th minute when Corey Ashe hauled down Luke Moore in the area for a penalty and referee Juan Guzman pointed to the spot. But Michael Bradley clanged his spot kick off the post.  But the leveler did come in first-half stoppage time. Luke Moore worked his way past a defender and put in a cross that eluded goalkeeper Hall for Dominic Oduro to bundle home at the back post.  TFC head coach Ryan Nelsen made three changes to the team that came back for a 1-1 draw with Vancouver Whitecaps FC at BMO Field. Nick Hagglund came into the back four for Mark Bloom, Dominic Oduro started in midfield in place of Jackson, and Gilberto came in up top instead of Jermain Defoe.  TORONTO FC (4-4-2): Joseph Bendik - Nick Hagglund, Bradley Orr, Doneil Henry, Justin Morrow - Dominic Oduro, Collen Warner, Michael Bradley, Jonathan Osorio (Daniel Lovitz 70) - Gilberto (Jermain Defoe 63), Luke Moore (Dwayne De Rosario 80). TEAM NEWS  Toronto FC drew their fourth consecutive away match with the result in Houston. Following the visit by Sporting KC to BMO Field, TFC head back on the road for four consecutive away contests – all against Eastern Conference opposition. Their next home game will be Aug. 16.  “Coming into Houston in July, and after Wednesday’s game, there was a very mental and physical fatigue factor,” TFC head coach Ryan Nelsen said. “Obviously, that first goal wasn’t a great one, it was a bit of a comedy of errors, a bit of a mistake but then we get ourselves back in the game. But, when you look at the series, if you take a series against Houston in July, you’d take four points.”  Making his first league start since May 23, Gilberto scored his second MLS goal with Toronto FC, his first since June 27. Gilberto had made appearances as a substitute in three of the previous seven league games.  “I thought Gilberto was fantastic – I thought he was magnificent, actually. His goal was a well-taken goal, some of his runs off the shoulder,” Nelsen said. “Remember, he hasn’t had many minutes. Especially with the humidity, I would have liked to keep him going but he was just starting to fade. I thought that 65 minutes would do him a world of good and the goal was good as well.”  Jermain Defoe had started 10 consecutive league matches before moving to the substitutes’ bench for the Houston match. But he will be suspended for the Sporting contest due to yellow card accumulation.  “It shows you that even if Jermain’s not there, we’re still a very attacking team, a very dynamic team going forward,” Nelsen said. “The guys on the team are cheering [Gilberto] on more than anybody; he’s such a lovely lad, and he works so hard. His teammates are probably more happy than he is.”  Dominic Oduro scored his second goal since coming to TFC, while also adding an assist. It was the sixth time in his MLS career he had scored a goal and added an assist in the same game.  “It’s always good to score against your former team. The whole idea of it boosts you up a little bit, but I always want to score against any team no matter what. Sometimes when it’s against your former team it’s bittersweet,” said Oduro.  On Wednesday, Toronto FC fell 3-2 to Tottenham Hotspur FC of the English Premier League in a friendly at BMO Field. Andrew Wiedeman (65) and Jordan Hamilton (73) netted as TFC clawed its way back from a firsthalf hole, but Andros Townsend hit for the winner in the 85th minute.  Here’s the TFC team: Chris Konopka (Quillan Roberts 45’); Ashtone Morgan, Doneil Henry (Nick Hagglund 45’), Bradley Orr (Ryan Richter 45’), Jeremy Hall; Dominic Oduro (Dwayne De Rosario 45’), Collen Warner (Jonathan Osorio 45’), Kyle Bekker, Daniel Lovitz; Jermain Defoe (Andrew Wiedeman 45’), Gilberto (Jordan Hamilton 45’) SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City extended their undefeated run to six matches with a third consecutive victory, defeating the LA Galaxy 2-1 on Saturday evening at Sporting Park. Sporting lead the Eastern Conference with 35 points from 20 games. LAST MATCH

MLS GAME INFORMATION


Sporting took the lead in the 10th minute. A foul outside the penalty area gave the home side the chance, and Benny Feilhaber curled a hard strike into the upper left corner of the goal past goalkeeper Jaime Penedo.  SKC doubled their lead in the 61st minute. Penedo saved substitute Jacob Peterson's header off the crossbar following a corner kick, but Lawrence Olum was right there to head in from close range.  The Galaxy tightened things in the 79th minute. After a failed clearance on a Galaxy corner kick, Robbie Keane ran onto substitute Bradford Jamieson IV's flick-on header and sent a rolling shot inside the left-hand post.  Sporting manager Peter Vermes made two changes to the team that defeated the Columbus Crew 2-1 at Crew Stadium. Graham Zusi came back into the midfield in place of Mikey Lopez, and Antonio Dovale returned on a flank in place of C.J. Sapong.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Andy Gruenebaum - Igor Juliao (Kevin Ellis 83), Aurelien Collin, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic - Lawrence Olum - Benny Feilhaber, Graham Zusi - Antonio Dovale (Jacob Peterson 46), Dom Dwyer, Soony Saad (C.J. Sapong 73). TEAM NEWS  Sporting Kansas City won a third consecutive game in league play for the first time this season. They extended their undefeated streak to six games overall, their last loss coming May 31 in a 1-0 loss at D.C. United.  “There were things that happened that we got better with. What we didn't do, we didn't give up anything of major consequence in the game. … The long and short of it is that was a good three points for us,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes. “I thought we did well and I thought that we were pretty organized. We had some very good moments of possession and created some very good chances. We had good opportunities and I think we did a good job managing the game and getting out of there with three points.”  Benny Feilhaber scored for a second consecutive game, and now has three goals for the league campaign. His single season high in MLS is four goals, which he scored in his first year in the league, 2011 with the New England Revolution.  “That's my favorite spot on the field to take a free kick-right up close to the box on the left. It's just about putting it up and over the wall. If you do that, it's going to be tough for the goalie to get there,” Feilhaber said. “That's something we practice a lot of times during the week, and luckily I was able to get an opportunity and put it in.”  Dom Dwyer was held without a goal for a second consecutive match, just the second time in the last two months he’s gone back-to-back games without a goal. Still tied for second in the MLS Golden Boot standings with 14 goals, Dwyer was not included in the MLS All-Star team that will face Bayern München.  “It's hard to leave guys off that have been very successful, such as him – over the course of this year, especially, and toward the end of last year and what he did in USL,” Vermes said. “But it is what it is, and the good thing is, it'll keep him hungry for the rest of the season, that's for sure. He's always hungry. But this will give him a little more bite, which is great.”  Before the game, Sporting announced U.S. national team performers Graham Zusi and Matt Besler were signed to long-term Designated Player contracts with the club.  “There are things that we have a clear vision on for the future and we act on it. It was important to get it done because we have a lot of games to play and we want to win,” Vermes said. “And we want to make sure we've got the best players as a part of our organization, and that's what these guys are. That's why we wanted to get it done as quickly as possible.”  On Wednesday, Sporting fell 4-1 to Manchester City FC at Sporting Park in a meeting of the reigning champions of Major League Soccer and the English Premier League. C.J. Sapong scored the only SKC goal (30); Manchester City scored twice in each half.  Here’s the Sporting team: Andy Gruenebaum (Jon Kempin 46); Igor Juliao (Jacob Peterson 46), Aurelien Collin (Erik Palmer-Brown 46), Matt Besler (Kevin Ellis 46), Seth Sinovic (Victor Munoz 46 ); Lawrence Olum (Jorge Claros 46), Mikey Lopez (Jimmy Medranda 46), Benny Feilhaber (Michael Kafari 46, Martin Steuble 75); C.J.

Sporting KC news & Notes

The teams last met in the MLS regular season on May 23, 2014 at Sporting Park. Dom Dwyer netted two goals to become the third player in team history to score in four consecutive MLS matches, but Toronto FC equalized in second half stoppage time to force a 2-2 draw.

Besler and Zusi sign Designated Player contracts with Sporting KC

Dwyer gave Sporting KC the lead in the 47th minute, finishing off a low cross from Sal Zizzo with his left foot. Luke Moore temporarily put the teams back on level terms in the 67th minute, just after his teammate Steven Caldwell had been ejected for a serious foul play. With a man advantage, Sporting KC dominated proceedings and Dwyer’s penalty kick restored the hosts’ six minutes from time. However, defender Bradley Orr bagged his first goal of the season in the opening minute of stoppage time to salvage a point for the visitors. Saturday is the second of three matches between the clubs this season. Toronto FC makes another to Sporting Park on Aug. 16.

Sporting KC signed defender Matt Besler and midfielder Graham Zusi to long-term Designated Player contracts on July 19. Per club policy, additional terms of the agreements will not be disclosed. An Overland Park native, Besler became the first player from the state of Kansas to play in a FIFA World Cup when he started all four matches for the United States in Brazil this summer. The 27-year-old centerback debuted for the U.S. in January 2013 and has 21 career international appearances, including all three knockout round games en route to the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup title. Besler was named captain of the reigning MLS Cup champions prior to the 2014 season and was recognized as the Kansas City Sports Commission Sportsman of the Year in April. Besler has made 148 MLS appearances (including postseason) with two goals and seven assists since being drafted by Kansas City in the first round of the 2009 MLS SuperDraft out of Notre Dame. Zusi is also coming off a strong performance at the 2014 FIFA World Cup. He appeared in all four games for head coach Jurgen Klinsmann and contributed assists in back-to-back group stage games against Ghana and Portugal. The 27-year-old has earned 27 career international appearances with three goals and six assists in a U.S. Men’s National Team jersey. Taken in the second round of the 2009 MLS SuperDraft as a two-time national champion at the University of Maryland, Zusi has recorded 18 goals and 40 assists in 145 MLS matches (including postseason) over six professional seasons with Sporting KC.

Sporting KC news & Notes (cont.) Besler, Collin and Zusi selected to MLS All-Star gameday roster

Sporting KC boasts strong record in Canada

Matt Besler, Aurelien Collin and Graham Zusi were named to the 2014 MLS All-Star gameday roster on July 19 and will represent Sporting KC when the MLS All-Stars face Bayern Munich on Aug. 6.

Sporting KC’s seven MLS regular season victories all-time on Canadian soil are second most among American clubs behind D.C. United’s eight. Since MLS expanded north of the American border with Toronto FC in 2007, Sporting KC has a 7-4-5 record against Canadian clubs on the road (3-3-3 at Toronto FC, 3-1-1 at Montreal Impact, 1-0-1 at Vancouver Whitecaps).

Besler has twice collected MLS Best XI (2012, 2013) honors and is a three-time MLS All-Star (2011, 2013, 2014). He was awarded MLS Defender of the Year in 2012 before being named a finalist again in 2013. Besler was Sporting KC’s Defensive Player of the Year each of the past three seasons. Collin earns MLS All-Star honors for a third consecutive year after signing with Sporting KC in April 2011. The 28-year-old centerback was a member of the MLS Best XI each of the last two seasons and was a Defender of the Year finalist in 2012. His 15 goals are most among defenders in MLS competition since 2011. Zusi is also an All-Star for the third straight season. The midfielder was named to the MLS Best XI each of the last two years and was an MLS MVP finalist in 2012 after leading the League with a career-high 15 assists in the regular season (third most in a single-season in club history). In 2013, Zusi was named the team’s Offensive Player of the Year, was nominated for Best MLS Player at the ESPYS and was the top rated midfielder in the MLS Castrol Index. He has been voted Sporting KC’s Most Valuable Player each of the last two years. Additional MLS All-Stars, as determined by player voting, will be announced on Aug. 6 in addition to the 23-player gameday roster revealed on July 19. A total of 32 All-Stars (four goalkeepers, eight defenders, 13 midfielders and seven forwards) will be named.

Dwyer’s standout season continues Forward Dom Dwyer ranks second in MLS with 14 goals and has already climbed into third place on the club’s single season scoring chart. With 14 matches still remaining, he needs five more goals to pass Preki’s longstanding single season record (18). In a victory at Montreal on July 12, Dwyer became one of only 10 players in MLS history to score six or more regular season goals against the same opponent in a single year and the first to do so in the League’s expansion era (2005 to present). Dwyer’s four multi-goal games -- he also scored twice against Toronto on May 23 -- are most in MLS this season and tied for sixth most in team history, and his nine left-footed strikes are three more than any other player. His 72 shots and 31 shots on target rank first and second in MLS.

Claros and Steuble make club debuts in Champions Shield friendly After signing for the club on July 16, Honduran midfielder Jorge Claros and Swiss-Filipino midfielder Martin Steuble saw their first action in a Sporting KC jersey against Manchester City FC on Wednesday. Claros played the entire second half and Steuble played the final 15 minutes as Sporting KC suffered a 4-1 friendly defeat to the reigning English Premier League champions, who were presented the Champions Shield after the game. Claros has played 53 games for the Honduras Men’s National Team and has scored three goals since making his debut in 2006. The 28-year-old midfielder made eight appearances during Honduras’ successful World Cup qualifying campaign and featured in all three matches at the 2014 FIFA World Cup alongside former Sporting KC midfielder Roger Espinoza. He signs from Honduran club Club Deportivo Motagua, where he won domestic league titles during the 2007-08 Apertura and 2010-11 Clausura. Steuble joins Sporting KC after seven years of professional soccer in Switzerland, most recently with Swiss Challenge League club FC Wil 1900. The 26-year-old has featured nine times for the Philippines Men’s National Team since making his international debut in March of this year.

Benny Feilhaber named MLS Player of the Week Sporting KC midfielder Benny Feilhaber was named MLS Player of the Week on Monday. Feilhaber contributed to both goals in the team’s 2-1 victory at Columbus on July 16 and scored in his second straight match--a free kick from outside the box--as the reigning MLS Cup champions beat LA Galaxy on July 19 at Sporting Park. In 2014, Feilhaber has started the most MLS matches (19) of any Sporting KC player and has suffered the second most fouls in MLS (48). He is amongst the top five MLS midfielders in the following statistical categories: passes (1050, No. 5), passes in opponents half (654, No. 5), successful passes in opponents half (510, No. 5), passes into final third (196, No. 2), touches (1399, No. 5), duels (232, No. 4), duels won (127, No. 5) and recoveries (153, No. 4).

Gruenebaum notches wins in first three starts for Sporting KC Goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum has a perfect 3-0-0 record since replacing injured Eric Kronberg on July 12. He becomes the first goalkeeper in franchise history to register wins in each of his first three starts. Gruenebaum began his 2014 MLS campaign with a 2-1 win at Montreal, then notched another pair of 2-1 victories against the Columbus Crew and LA Galaxy on July 16 and 19, respectively, as Sporting KC surged atop the Eastern Conference standings. The Overland Park, Kansas native previously made 82 MLS appearances for the Crew (including postseason) from 2006-2013.

Injuries and international duty test Sporting KC’s depth Through 20 games in the 2014 MLS regular season, Sporting KC has featured 20 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. On July 9, starting goalkeeper Eric Kronberg broke the fourth metacarpal in his left hand and was ruled out eight weeks, giving Andy Gruenebaum his first Sporting KC start in MLS competition. 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, 27 different players have appeared in an MLS match for the club this season, tied with Chivas USA for most in the League. Of those 27 players, 11 were 23 years of age or younger at the start of the season. The club’s defense has been stretched most of all, with eight different players featuring in the centerback position during the 2014 campaign.

Sporting KC reserves feature in Champions Shield loss to Man City In the second half of Sporting KC’s 4-1 loss to Manchester City on Wednesday, midfielder Michael Kafari made his club debut and homegrown keeper Jon Kempin made his first appearance since May 27, 2012 in the U.S. Open Cup. Victor Munoz played his second game for the club and on-loan Jimmy Medranda also featured in the final 45 minutes.

Sporting KC news & Notes (cont.) Sporting KC shutting opponents down on the road

Juliao named to MLS Team of the Week

Sporting KC is in the midst of a four-game road winning streak, notching victories at the Houston Dynamo (June 6), Portland Timbers (June 27, Montreal Impact (July 12) and Columbus Crew (July 16). This marks the first time in franchise history that the team has rattled off four straight victories away from home.

Igor Juliao was named to MLSsoccer.com’s Team of the Week for the first time in his career after helping Sporting KC to wins over Columbus (July 16) and LA Galaxy (July 19). He registered his first career assist in the 93rd minute against the Crew as Benny Feilhaber’s MLS Goal of the Week nominee won the match. The 19 year-old right back debuted for Sporting KC on May 14 and started every match since.

Sporting KC leads MLS with six road wins and is the only team with three road clean sheets. Since the beginning of 2011, no team has more regular season road victories (26) or shutout road wins (13) than Sporting KC.

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.

Paying the penalty Sporting KC has conceded five penalty kicks through 20 matches this year, already two shy of equaling the most for a single season in club history. The team conceded seven penalties in 1998 and 2007 and six penalties in 2000 and 2006. This follows a League-wide trend, as 88 penalty kicks have been awarded through 181 MLS matches (0.49 per game, as of July 24). 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 seven red cards and received five during the 2014 season. The combined 12 ejections through 20 matches already surpass the club’s 2013 total of 10. 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 17), up from 0.24 in 2013 and 0.18 in 2012.

First half lockdown Sporting KC has allowed five first half goals in MLS matches this season, second fewest of any team. Two of those five goals were penalty kicks, meaning Sporting KC has allowed just three first half goals from the run of play in 2014 MLS competition.

Kronberg ruled out with fractured fourth metacarpal

CONCACAF Champions League schedule determined

Sporting KC goalkeeper Eric Kronberg fractured the fourth metacarpal bone on his left hand during training on July 9. Surgery is not required and his approximate date of return is early September.

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.

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).

Sporting KC signs midfielder Michael Kafari Sporting KC signed 22-year-old Michael Kafari on July 8. 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 2010-2013. 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. 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.

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. 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.

Sporting KC news & Notes (cont.) Sporting KC a consistent contender in MLS

Sporting Park sellout streak

Since the beginning of 2011, Sporting KC has the second-best aggregate regular season record and the best road record of all MLS teams. During this time period, Sporting KC has won two major trophies -- the 2012 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and the 2013 MLS Cup -- and is the only club with multiple conference regular season titles (2011, 2012).

Sporting Park has sold out 46 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. Since opening in June 2011, the venue has sold out 59 of 67 MLS matches and averaged 19,260 spectators, 104.3 percent of its 18,500 capacity.
