HOW #MLSISBACK WORKS

1. Regular season points in the group stage Each MLS club will play three group stage matches in Orlando that count toward the 2020 regular season standings. For Sporting, those fixtures come against Western Conference foes Real Salt Lake, Minnesota United FC and the Colorado Rapids.

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 30, 2020 vs. Philadelphia Union | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #PHIvSKC: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#PHIvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City continues their run in the MLS is Back Tournament on Thursday night when the side takes on the Philadelphia Union in the quarterfinal stage at ESPN Wide World of Sports in Orlando. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. CT on ESPN. Sporting advanced to the quarterfinals after defeating Vancouver Whitecaps FC on penalty kicks on Sunday night following a 0-0 draw. Tim Melia made a pair of saves in the shootout, allowing Alan Pulido, Ilie Sanchez and Gianluca Busio to fire Sporting into the next round. The Union advanced the night before, as Sergio Santos’ second-half goal was enough to see off the New England Revolution. During the last meeting between the two sides - a regular-season encounter on March 10, 2019 - Sporting ran out comfortable 2-0 winners. Ilie converted an early penalty after Busio had been fouled, before a late own goal from Jack Elliott made the points safe for SKC. In their last visit to Talen Energy Stadium, Sporting KC fell to a 2-0 defeat on Sept. 23, 2018. Jay Simpson scored a second-half brace to condemn Sporting to their final regular-season defeat of that season, as the side went 3-0-2 to finish out the campaign. The regular-season series between the two sides is dead even at 6-6-5, though Sporting did beat Philadelphia in the 2015 U.S. Open Cup Final at Talen Energy Stadium.

Sporting KC Game Notes | July 30, 2020 vs. Philadelphia Union | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes QUARTERFINAL BECKONS

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

GERSO WINS GOAL OF THE WEEK

Sporting Kansas City advanced to the quarterfinals of the MLS is Back Tournament in the early hours of Monday morning after the side’s late game on Sunday night against Vancouver Whitecaps FC went to a penalty shootout following a 0-0 draw. Alan Pulido and Ilie Sanchez each converted, while goalkeeper Tim Melia stopped both Derek Cornelius and Yordy Reyna - allowing 18-year-old Gianluca Busio to fire home the winning penalty and send SKC through to a mouth-watering quarterfinal clash with the Philadelphia Union on Thursday night.

Sporting Kansas City winger Gerso Fernandes enjoyed some personal recognition over the weekend after his brilliant finish to seal a 2-0 victory over Real Salt Lake on July 22 was named MLS Goal of the Week. Gerso received a pass from Alan Pulido on the right wing, dribbled at the RSL backline and cut onto his left foot before unleashing a stunning strike that nestled in the sidenetting with goalkeeper Zac MacMath rooted to the spot. Gerso now has 24 goals and 18 assists across 112 appearances in all competitions for the club.

Sporting and Philadelphia have been two of the most exciting teams to watch in 2020, as SKC’s newcomers Alan Pulido, Gadi Kinda, Khiry Shelton and Roberto Puncec have mixed perfectly with the side’s veteran core and youngsters waiting in the wings. The Union have built a reputation for fast, free-flowing soccer, punctuated by several young and exciting Homegrown players such as Brenden Aaronson and Mark McKenzie.

MELIA CLUTCH IN PENALTY SHOOTOUT ONCE AGAIN

In what felt like a scripted match where Vancouver Whitecaps’ 21-year-old third-string goalkeeper Thomas Hasal produced eight stunning saves to shut out a potent Sporting offense, it seemed written in the stars that the youngster would continue that form and shock Sporting in the penalty shootout.

Sporting went 2-1-0 in the group stage and are 4-1-0 (12 pts.) in regular-season play, sitting atop the Western Conference. Philadelphia went an unbeaten 2-0-1 in the group stage, seeing off New York City FC and Inter Miami CF while drawing with Orlando City SC. The Union have posted a 2-1-2 (8 pts.) record in the regular season, good for third place in the East.

If they were facing any other team, he might have. But Sporting KC has Tim Melia in goal, and the veteran stopper produced another clinic in the shootout - providing two saves as Sporting advanced 3-1 and Melia improved to 5-0 in shootouts throughout his career. Melia has also saved 10 of 24 penalties he’s faced, all within the last five years five more than any other goalkeeper in the same time span.

The last time the two sides met was on March 10, 2019 at Children’s Mercy Park. Sporting, in the midst of their Concacaf Champions League campaign, claimed a relatively comfortable 2-0 victory on the day. Ilie Sanchez converted an early penalty after Gianluca Busio was brought down inside the area, before a late own goal from the Union’s Jack Elliott made the points safe for Sporting.

UNION REFRESHER

Sporting Kansas City and the Philadelphia Union can not be separated in the regularseason series, as both sides hold a 6-6-5 mark against the other. Since the start of 2014, Sporting trails the Union 2-4-2 - though SKC won the most important match of them all, the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final.

SHUTOUT STREAK CONTINUES

Sporting Kansas City goalkeeper Tim Melia stole the headlines on Sunday night after his two saves in the penalty shootout allowed Sporting to edge past Vancouver Whitecaps FC into the quarterfinal stage of the MLS is Back Tournament. What may have been overlooked is that Melia’s five saves in regular time saw him extend his league high shutout streak as well.

In 2019, Sporting emerged victorious in the sole contest between the two sides on March 10, 2019 in regular-season play. Sporting took the lead early on as Gianluca Busio was brought down by Auston Trusty, allowing Ilie Sanchez to fire home from the spot in the 11th minute. While SKC controlled the majority of the game, it wasn’t until the 80th minute that Peter Vermes’ side found the second goal to make the points safe as Kelyn Rowe’s cross was deflected into his own net by Jack Elliott. The Union were down to 10 men at the time after Mexican international Marco Fabian was sent off for a stomp on Johnny Russell in the 60th minute.

Melia is now riding a 406-minute shutout streak in MLS play, having not conceded a goal since the first half of the season opener against Vancouver on Feb. 29, when Jake Nerwinski fired home from close range. Since then, Melia has recorded shutouts against the Houston Dynamo (March 7), Real Salt Lake (July 22) and Vancouver Whitecaps (July 26). He also did not concede prior to being sent off against Minnesota United on July 12, as Richard Sanchez allowed the two late Loons goals in that match.

During their last visit to Talen Energy Stadium, Sporting suffered a 2-0 setback of their own on a drenched afternoon on September 23, 2018. Following a scoreless first half, thanks in-part to Union stand-in goalkeeper Alex McCarthy, striker Jay Simpson scored a second-half brace to give Philly all three points. It was Sporting’s final defeat of the 2018 regular season, as the side went 3-0-2 to clinch first place in the West. In all, SKC did not lose another game until Nov. 29 (4-0-4) when the side fell to a 3-2 defeat against the Portland Timbers in the Western Conference Final.

The 406-minute run without allowing a goal in MLS action is the fifth-longest in team history and just nine minutes away from becoming the third-longest. Tony Meola holds the club record, going 681 minutes without conceding from April 19-May 27, 2000. The 34-year-old gloveman is the club’s all-time regular-season 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).

The most memorable of all Sporting KC vs. Philadelphia Union contests came on September 30, 2015 as the two sides squared off in the U.S. Open Cup Final at Talen Energy Stadium. Philly took the lead through Sebastian Le Toux in the 23rd minute before Krisztian Nemeth equalized with a stunning curler in the 65th minute. An eightround penalty shootout ensued, with Tim Melia denying Maurice Edu and Andrew Wenger, allowing Jordi Quintilla to fire home the winning spot kick.

WHAT HE’S SAYING: PETER VERMES

Thoughts on the match vs. Vancouver: “Today, along with our game against Real Salt Lake, they were two very good performances. Today we controlled the game. We created so many different chances. Their goalkeeper came up with some good saves. But at the end it was a really good performance. Defensively, I thought we were tremendous. A lot of times, when you play in games like this where you do what we did in regards to the way that we played and you go into penalties, you wind up coming away and losing. I’m proud of the guys for staying focused and concentrated because they deserved to advance. They deserved to win the game. It was a very good performance and good execution at the end.”

RECORD-BREAKING OFFENSIVE ONSLAUGHT

Despite being unable to find the net during the run of play Sunday night’s penalty shootout victory over the Vancouver Whitecaps, Sporting Kansas City set a new club record in regards to the side’s onslaught on Vancouver’s goal throughout the game, and especially in the first half. Sporting ended the game with a remarkable 36 shot attempts, tied for the fourth-most by a single team in an MLS match all-time. Ironically, Vancouver was also the opponent when the record was set in this catergory, as the Whitecaps allowed San Jose to take 43 shots on August 24, 2019. In addition, Sporting’s 22 first-half shots are the most the team has recorded in the first half of an MLS match (including regular season, playoffs and MLS is Back Tournament) in club history.

On if Tim Melia is the best penalty stopper in the league: “I think Tim does a really good job on penalties just in regular games. I’d say he’s one of the best, for sure. He’s definitely one of the best because even during the season, he always seems to find a way to make good decisions. He’s got a really good eye for reading what players are going to do.”

Among the chief orchestrators of Sporting’s ceaseless attack was Scottish international Johnny Russell, who was highly involved during the 67 minutes he was on the pitch. Despite playing just three quarters of the match, he became the third player during Major League Soccer’s Opta era (2010-present) to amass five shot attempts and 10 chances created in one game. The first two to accomplish the feat? Portland Timbers talisman Diego Valeri in 2014 and Toronto FC star Alejandro Pozuelo in 2019.

On the match-up with Philadelphia in the quarterfinals: “It will definitely be a different game. They have a lot of energy. From front to back, they are very solid. They’re a team that plays on both sides of the ball really, really well. There are not a lot of holes in their group. We expect it to be a really, really tough match for us. It’ll be different. We’re going from 9am ET to 11pm ET to 8pm ET and we’ll see where the next one goes after that if we get through.”

Sporting KC Game Notes | July 30, 2020 vs. Philadelphia Union | 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 422 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.
