Sporting KC Game Notes | July 31, 2021 vs. FC Dallas | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #SKCvDAL: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#SKCvDAL: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City takes a five-game unbeaten streak into the weekend as the team prepares to take on FC Dallas for the first time in 2021 at Children’s Mercy Park on Saturday night. Sporting are winless in five against Dallas, going 0-4-1 since their last victory over the Texas side in late 2018. In 2020, Sporting and Dallas faced off three times - twice at Children’s Mercy Park and once at Toyota Stadium. In the first meeting at CMP on Sept. 5, 2020, the two sides shared the points following a 1-1 draw after Khiry Shelton equalized in first-half stoppage time following Franco Jara’s early opener for the visitors. The repeat fixture on Sept. 19 was a frustrating affair, as Dallas scored either side of halftime through Jara, only for Sporting to roar back into the game and level the score with a Johnny Russell brace. However, a poor backpass allowed Dallas to retake the lead in the dying moments through Ryan Hollingshead. The most recent meeting between the sides came at Toyota Stadium on Oct. 14, 2020, with Hollingshead’s goal late in the first half enough to seal a victory for Dallas. The game will be remembered for a controversial decision to deny Sporting a late equalizer, as Gadi Kinda appeared to be fouled in the area before Russell fired home, only for the referee to rule that Kinda had fouled Dallas goalkeeper Jimmy Maurer. Sporting trails in the regular season series 25-27-13, including but hold a 15-11-8 mark at home. #SKCvDAL: Recent Meetings (DAL leads 27-25-13 in regular season)

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

SALLOI CONTINUES MVP BID

Sporting Kansas City returns home this weekend to take on FC Dallas at Children’s Mercy Park on Saturday night. Second-place Sporting (9-3-3, 30 pts.) is in the midst of a five-game unbeaten streak (4-0-1), and has not lost at Children’s Mercy Park in the regular season since September 2020 - an 11-game streak (8-0-3). Dallas (3-7-5, 14 pts.) currently sit in a tie for 10th in the West, though are coming off a thumping 4-0 victory over the LA Galaxy at Toyota Stadium last weekend.

Sporting Kansas City Homegrown forward Daniel Salloi continued his flaming hot form in the 2021 season by bagging his ninth goal of the campaign and his league-leading fifth game-winner in the 3-1 victory over Seattle Sounders FC at Lumen Field on Sunday night. Salloi’s nine goals place him in a tie for third in MLS, only trailing Raul Ruidiaz (11) and Chicharito (10). Sporting KC: Most game-winning goals in MLS regular season (all-time)

Sporting KC’s 3-1 victory over Seattle Sounders FC at Lumen Field cemented the team’s status as the ultimate MLS road warriors over the past two seasons, boasting a league-best 9-5-2 record away from home dating back to February 2020, including a league-best road goal differential of +8. • • • • •

• • • • • •

Sporting KC: 9-5-2 (.625 win %) | +8 goal differential (26-18) Seattle: 7-4-5 (.593 win %) | +5 goal differential (21-16) New England: 9-6-4 (.579 win %) | +6 goal differential (30-24) Colorado: 7-6-2 (.533 win %) | -1 goal differential (20-21) Orlando: 6-6-6 (.500 win %) | -4 goal differential (22-26)

Most game-winning goals in 2021 MLS regular season • 5 goals: Daniel Salloi (Sporting KC) • 4 goals: Raul Ruidiaz (Seattle Sounders FC) • 3 goals: nine players

The win over Seattle was more of the same for Sporting KC, who have consistently enjoyed success against the Sounders over the past six seasons, going 7-2-3 in the last dozen matchups. Since 2015, no MLS club has performed better against the Sounders, who during that time have won a pair of league titles and reached the MLS Cup on four occasions under head coach Brian Schmetzer.

Salloi has six goals and an assist in his last seven appearances and his eight goals since May 16 are the most in MLS. By scoring before halftime on Sunday, he also extended an eye-opening streak that has seen Sporting KC Academy products score or assist in 10 consecutive matches dating back to mid-May.

Included in that tally is three road wins at Lumen Field, as Sporting is the only team in MLS with a winning record at Seattle since the start of 2015 (3-2-1).

DUKE SCORES FIRST SPORTING KC GOAL

DUELING WITH DALLAS

Sporting Kansas City Homegrown midfielder Cam Duke enjoyed a breakout week as the 20-year-old followed up his first start of the 2021 season against San Jose with his first goal for the club in Sunday’s 3-1 win over Seattle Sounders FC.

Sporting Kansas City is back at Children’s Mercy Park this weekend to take on FC Dallas on Saturday night. Sporting is winless in their last five games against Dallas (0-41), including a 0-2-1 record in the 2020 campaign. All-time, Sporting trails 25-27-13, but holds a 15-11-8 edge at home.

Cam Duke statistics since July 21

The first meeting in 2020 took place at Children’s Mercy Park on Sept. 2. Dallas forward Franco Jara gave his side an early lead but Sporting responded just before halftime through a composed finish from Khiry Shelton as the two sides split the points following a 1-1 draw.

• • • • •

The next match - also in Kansas City - was a wild affair on Sept. 19. Jara scored either side of halftime to give Dallas a 2-0 advantage, but Sporting came flying back and brought the game back level at 2-2 following a brace from Johnny Russell. However, in the 86th minute, Ryan Hollingshead pounced on a poor back pass and scored the winner against the run of play. Dallas racked up five yellow cards for time wasting and dissent in the second half, while Bryan Acosta was sent off in stoppage time after being shown a second yellow card following two bad fouls.

First career MLS goal 8 fouls suffered (3rd in MLS) 90.6% passing accuracy 13 duels won 3 tackles won (100% tackle success)

Duke scored his first professional goal earlier this year, finding the back of the net in a 4-1 victory for Sporting KC II against FC Tulsa on June 2 at Children’s Mercy Park. Duke’s late tally sealed a two-goal win for Sporting and handed Seattle their first twogoal home loss since June 25, 2016 - a remarkable run of 96 matches in all competitions and the first two-goal home defeat since Schmetzer took over as head coach.

POSTGAME PV

The final clash between the two sides in 2020 came on Oct. 14 at Toyota Stadium in a match marred in controversy. Hollingshead scored the only goal of the game late in the first half which would ultimately give Dallas a 1-0 victory, but the main story from the game was a Johnny Russell disallowed goal late on. After Luis Martins sent a powerful effort toward goal that was fumbled by Jimmy Maurer, Gadi Kinda knocked the ball beyond the Dallas goalkeeper and was dragged to the ground before Russell smashed the ball home. Referee Armando Villarreal inexcusably called Kinda for the foul and did not consult his VAR to change the decision.

On the statement made with the victory over Seattle: “They’re obviously without a lot of players. We’re without a lot of players. I think, right now, everybody is kind of going through the grind of the summertime. I think we were just fortunate enough to put together a good effort, which resulted in a good result. Outside of that, we’re still points behind. They’re still points ahead. We’ve got to keep trying to gather as many points as we can as we move through the season.” On watching the match from Kansas City: “Being where I am right now, it doesn’t beat being on the sideline obviously. I relieve a lot of stress on the sideline, as most of you can see probably on a pretty regular basis. I’m in the game. Being at home, watching it here – it’s not easy. The logistics are really tough. There are a lot of rules in and around our game about not being able to communicate with anyone on the team there. That’s been very difficult, as well. I had a couple opportunities to do Zooms and stuff like that but it’s just not the same. I’m glad that this is over with and I’ll be back this week and I’ll be back in the swing of things. I’m looking forward to it.”

RUSSELL ROUNDING INTO FORM

Sporting Kansas City captain Johnny Russell is working his way back into his best form over the past month, as the winger now has two goals and an assist in his last three games. Russell, who also generated the equalizer against San Jose last Wednesday when his free kick hit the crossbar before Salloi scored the rebound, scored the opening goal and set up the final strike in the 3-1 win over Seattle at Lumen Field on Sunday. The goal and assist on Sunday make Russell one of only four MLS players to record 27 goals and 27 assists in the regular season since the start of 2018. Additionally, Russell’s three goals from direct free kicks over the last three MLS seasons are tied for the second most in the league. His four goals against Seattle during the same time period rank first, with Sunday’s thunderbolt coming after he put the Sounders to the sword with a scintillating hat trick in a 3-2 home win on May 26, 2019.

On the play of Remi Walter: “Where he’s had a little bit of adaptation has been the speed and physicality of our league, but I think last game he was better in the way that he approached the game. I also think that this game, he started out much more disciplined staying in the middle of the park as a number six. I thought, at the end when we went to two (holding midfielders) and one (attacking midfielder), I thought he finished the game really, really strong. He’s got really good vision and he always makes really good passes and good decisions on the ball. Now that he’s seeing the pace and the physicality - and also you’ve got to take into consideration the climate in which we deal in (because) for our new guys it’s completely different – but I think they’re all getting there and I think he finished the game really strong today.”

Sporting KC Game Notes | July 31, 2021 vs. FC Dallas | 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 13th season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2021 and is the longest-tenured active head coach in MLS. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 199 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 and 2020. 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 164 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 456 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 13 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 eighth 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 is in his fifth 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.
