PORTLAND TIMBERS The Portland Timbers suffered a second consecutive defeat following a nine-game undefeated run in the loss at Sporting KC. The Timbers are in seventh place in the Western Conference with 29 points from 23 games. TEAM NEWS  Timbers head coach Caleb Porter made one change to the team that fell 2-1 to the LA Galaxy at Providence Park. Amobi Okugo came into central defense in place of the injured Nat Borchers.  “We’ll look at this game. We’ll look at what they did. What we did that worked and what didn’t work. We’ll make some adjustments. It’s like the playoffs. In the playoffs, you play home and away and there’s adjustments in that second game. So, I think it will be very similar to the playoffs in that regard," said Timbers head coach Caleb Porter. “… You have to factor in the opponent and the way that you want to execute. We have to respect always what they’re going to look to do as well and from there it’s about who executes better and usually it comes down to who finishes their chances."

The Timbers suffered a second consecutive defeat, coming on the heels of a nine-game undefeated run in league play. It’s their first consecutive losses since losing three in a row May 7-15. “I think you’re always concerned about points because points matter in the grand scheme of things in terms of where you sit,” Porter said. “Obviously, the Western Conference is tight. We knew coming into this game, it was going to come down to the last 12 games and it was going to come down to four or five teams and how many points those teams get. We knew this was going to be a difficult game. We had some key guys out. I thought that showed at times, defensively.” The Timbers were also shut out for a third time at the attacking end this season – all coming over the last six matches, since July 4. The first two blankings were goalless draws. “I think we created a lot of chances. We didn’t finish. We had five clear, open chances. Five or six. So, I don’t think it had anything to do with chance creation at all. It had to do with the finishing,” said Porter. “ … Usually, our quality shows through in moments like those. We’re a good attacking team and have been all year. I'm confident we will finish those moving forward. So today, overall, I felt we at least deserved a point. Up until the goal they scored, we were as good or better than them.” Amobi Okugo made his first start of the season, his first since coming to the Timbers in the offseason from Orlando City SC, coming into central defense in place of Nat Borchers, who is lost for the remainder of the season with an Achilles tendon injury. New signing Vytas Andriuskevicius also made his Timbers and MLS debut, coming on as a substitute at left back for the final 21 minutes. “We’ve had more injuries than anybody in the league this year. A good example is last year we were one of the best defensive teams in the league and we don’t have both center halves in this game and you still see with Jermaine Taylor and Amobi (Okugo) that they still did a good job. That’s because this is a team, and we’ve built our team that way,” said Porter. The Timbers made two major signings to shore up their backline in the final days of the opening of the secondary transfer window, signing Steven Taylor, last with Newcastle United in England, and Gbenga Arokoyo, last with Turkey’s Gaziantepspor. On Wednesday, the Timbers opened their CONCACAF Champions League campaign with a dramatic 2-1 win against CD Dragón of El Salvador at Providence Park. Jack McInerney put the Timbers ahead midway through the first half, and after the visitors went a man down then equalized, Diego Valeri put in the rebound of his own shot that came off the crossbar in the 90th minute for the win. Here’s the Timbers team: Jake Gleeson, Alvas Powell, Jermaine Taylor, Amobi Okugo, Vytas, Diego Valeri, Diego Chara, Jack Jewsbury, Ned Grabavoy (Darlington Nagbe, 66), Fanendo Adi, Jack McInerney (Lucas Melano, 73)

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City won their second game on the trot, both at Children’s Mercy Park, with the victory against the Timbers. Sporting are in a tie for fourth place in the Western Conference with 34 points from 24 games. TEAM NEWS  Sporting manager Peter Vermes made two changes to the team that rolled to a 3-0 win against Seattle Sounders FC at Children’s Mercy Park. Alec Kann came in between the posts for Tim Melia, and Connor Hallisey started on the front line in place of Graham Zusi.  “A bunch of guys have stepped up and have really met the call for duty. The consistency in the group is one and the other is we are not making mistakes,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes. “We are managing games a lot better than we did at the beginning of the year. That's a good thing. We have six or seven potential starters on the injured list right now.”  The win was No. 100 for Peter Vermes in his coaching career, all with Sporting Kansas City, the eighth coach to reach the century mark in wins in league history and the fifth to record 100 wins with one club.  “I didn't realize it was coming until someone had mentioned it to me the other day. That has been one of the biggest things; the fact that it has been with one club,” Vermes said. “I don't look at myself as a mercenary or someone who goes from place to place. I see myself as more of a builder and being a part of the growth of this development is probably more of a humbling aspect.”  It was a second consecutive victory for Sporting, who have twice recorded back-to-back wins over the last six matches. It was also the fifth consecutive victory at Children’s Mercy Park for Sporting, their second consecutive shutout.  “I would say that we probably should have scored two or three more goals during the game,” Vermes said. “… At the end it really doesn't matter. Whether it is 1-nil or its 5-nil. It's the three points that are very important. Especially when we play them back-to-back.”  Alec Kann made his second start of the season between the posts, his first in league play since March 27, credited with one save. It was his first MLS victory and first shutout in three career starts.

“Just getting games is the biggest thing as a goalkeeper. Dressing and traveling for games is nice, but at the end of the day you need to play games. At that level, the coaches do a good job, to make sure that you are ready. It is nice to have those opportunities if games aren't coming with the first team,” Kann said. Jacob Peterson scored his third goal of the season, a second consecutive game with a goal, the second time in his MLS career he’s scored in back-to-back games – the first coming Oct. 7-14, 2006 while with the Colorado Rapids. Peterson was making a 10th consecutive start in league play, the longest stretch of consecutive starts in his 11-year MLS career. “Last week's game was the best game he has ever played for us from just a pure decision-making point of view. His decisions to go to goal, to serve, to shoot, to keep the ball for us, to spin out in the corner was top-class. That is what has been great about him. He has done really well for us in his decision-making,” Vermes said.

LAST MATCH RECAP In their opening match of the 2016-17 Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League (CCL) tournament, the Portland Timbers defeated C.D. Dragon 2-1 before 16,268 fans at Providence Park on Aug. 3. Forward Jack McInerney and midfielder Diego Valeri both tallied goals for Portland.

Providence Park opened on April 14, 2011, in front of a sold-out crowd in the Timbers first-ever home match as an MLS team. The club proceeded to sell out all of its regular-season home games in the team’s first six MLS seasons. Spanning the 2013 and 2014 seasons, the Timbers compiled an MLS-club record 22-game unbeaten streak (12-0-10) at Providence Park from April 6, 2013 to June 1, 2014. The streak ranks as the third-longest all-time in MLS history.

HEAD COACH CALEB PORTER Head coach Caleb Porter enters his fourth season with the club in 2016 after signing a long-term contract extension on Jan. 27, 2016. Since joining the Timbers in 2013, Porter has compiled one of the league’s top winning percentages among active MLS coaches with a record of 48-33-44 (.560), leading the Timbers to their first MLS Cup title in 2015, two Western Conference Championship appearances and double-digit wins in each of his first three seasons. Over Porter’s first four seasons, the Timbers have lost the fewest games (32) of any MLS team, and have compiled regular-season point totals of 57 (2013), 49 (2014) and 53 (2015). Additionally, since 2013, Portland’s combined point total (188) ranks as the fifth-most in MLS, behind only FC Dallas (202), the New York Red Bulls (201), LA Galaxy (201) and Sporting Kansas City (192). Additionally, Portland’s 38 shutouts ranks tied as second-most in the league, while their 17 road wins ranks tied as the third-most in MLS during that span. The 2013 MLS Coach of the Year, Porter coached in his 100th game as an MLS coach against Real Salt Lake on Oct. 14, 2015, posting a record of 39-25-36 in those games, which tied San Jose Earthquakes head coach Dominic Kinnear for the fewest losses (25) in MLS history in a coach’s first 100 career games. In addition, his .570 winning percentage during that span ranks fourth among active coaches through their first 100 games, behind the LA Galaxy’s Bruce Arena (62-37-1, .625), Seattle’s Sigi Schmid (52-33-15, .595) and Kinnear (40-25-35, .575). Ending the 2015 campaign with a nine-game unbeaten run across all competitions, the Timbers lifted their first MLS Cup trophy with a 2-1 win over Columbus Crew SC on Dec. 6, 2015. Portland finished the regular season with an MLS-club-record 15 wins, while also tying for the league lead in shutouts (13). On the road, the Timbers finished the 2015 season tied for the most road wins (7) in the league. During his tenure, the Timbers have qualified for CONCACAF Champions League twice (2014-15, 201617), finished in the top three in the Western Conference in two of his first three seasons and made their deepest run in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, reaching the semifinals in 2013. Porter was announced as the Timbers head coach on Aug. 29, 2012, and joined the club ahead of the 2013 MLS campaign. Porter received the Slats Gill Award for Sportsperson of the Year at the Oregon Sports Awards on March 9, 2014, becoming the fourth soccer-related figure to receive the award since it was founded in 1957. On Aug. 6, 2014, Porter helped guide the MLS All-Stars to a 2-1 win over German power Bayern Munich in the 2014 AT&T MLS All-Star Game at Providence Park in Portland. During Porter’s first season with Portland in 2013, the Timbers assembled one of the biggest turnaround seasons in MLS history, finishing the regular season atop the Western Conference table. In comparison to 2012 totals, the Timbers assembled a 23-point improvement in points and an MLS-record, 43-goal improvement in goal differential. Portland’s five losses during the 2013 regular season tied for the fewest in MLS history in a 34-game season and the Timbers led the league with 15 shutouts. The Timbers recorded a 15-game, home unbeaten streak during the 2013 regular season, posting a league-best 11-1-5 home record at Providence Park and an MLS single-season record 11 home shutouts. In 2014, the Timbers netted a team-record 61 goals while recording the best goal differential (plus-9) of any non-playoff team in MLS history. Prior to joining the Timbers, Porter, who holds a U.S. Soccer Federation “A” license and an NSCAA advanced national diploma, was one of the most successful coaches in NCAA history during his tenure as head coach at the University of Akron (2006-12). He compiled a career mark of 123-18-17 and was named 2009 NSCAA National Coach of the Year. Porter led the Zips to back-to-back NCAA College Cup appearances (2009, 2010) and the school’s first national title in any sport in 2010. Porter’s coaching career also includes time as the head coach of the U.S. U-23 Men’s National Team during 2012 CONCACAF Olympic qualifying and three years as an assistant coach on the U.S. U-18 National Team (2009-11). Porter was an assistant coach for six years (2000-05) at Indiana University, winning two national championships with the Hoosiers. As a player, Porter was the 27th overall pick by the San Jose Clash in the 1998 MLS College Draft. He spent time with San Jose and the Tampa Bay Mutiny before a knee injury ended his professional playing career in 2000. He also played for the U.S. National B Team from 1996-97, winning a bronze medal at the 1997 World University Games. As a four-time All-Big Ten selection and three-year captain at Indiana, Porter led the Hoosiers to four conference titles and two College Cup appearances. Porter was the runner-up for the 1997 Hermann Trophy. Porter graduated from Indiana in 1998 with a degree in sports management. He and his wife, Andrea, have three children – two sons, Colin (7) and Jake (5), and a daughter, Stella (4).

Sporting KC Game Notes | August 7, 2016 at Portland Timbers | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #PORvSKC: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#PORvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City and the Portland Timbers square off Sunday in a match that carries significant Western Conference playoff implications. Fourthplace Sporting KC (10-10-4, 34 points) is trending upward with four wins in their last six games, while seventh-place Portland (7-8-8, 29 points) is a point outside the postseason picture having lost two straight matches. Manager Peter Vermes’ men are unbeaten in five consecutive regular season contests against Portland, notching shutouts in each game (3-0-2). Caleb Porter’s Timbers are amidst a 482-minute regular season scoreless streak vs. Sporting KC, with their last goal in the series coming in April 2013 at Children’s Mercy Park. The last five matches between the sides have produced just three total goals, with Vermes’ side claiming three 1-0 wins. Despite their recent struggles against Sporting KC, Portland continues to own bragging rights as the defending MLS Cup champions. Their run to the Cup began last October in the 2015 Western Conference Knockout Round against Sporting KC at Providence Park. The game ended in a 2-2 draw through 120 minutes, and the Timbers would go on to win an 11-round penalty shootout which was the longest in MLS postseason history. The unforgettable clash ultimately set the stage for Portland’s run to the 2015 MLS Cup championship. Sporting KC and Portland battled last Sunday at Children’s Mercy Park in the first of back-to-back meetings. Jacob Peterson’s 50th-minute header was the lone goal as Vermes won his 100th regular season match as a coach. The clubs met three times during the 2015 regular season, playing to a pair of 0-0 draws before Sporting KC scraped a 1-0 road win on Oct. 3 behind Krisztian Nemeth’s eventual MLS Goal of the Year winner. Tim Melia was the star of the show in the latter two meetings at Providence Park, tying a careerhigh with seven saves in a scoreless stalemate on Sept. 9 before making an additional six on Oct. 3. #SKCvPOR Recent Regular Season Meetings (SKC leads 5-2-2)

Sporting KC Game Notes | August 7, 2016 at Portland Timbers | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES CRUCIAL STRETCH AWAITS SPORTING KC DOMINANT DWYER Fourth-place Sporting KC (10-10-4, 34 points) is currently five points above the red line in the Western Conference playoff race, while seventh-place Portland (7-8-8, 29 points) is on the outside looking in ahead of Sunday’s tilt at Providence Park. It will be the second of back-to-back meetings between the clubs, as Sporting KC claimed a 1-0 win last Sunday at Children’s Mercy Park behind Jacob Peterson’s 50th-minute header.

A historic 3-0 win over Seattle Sounders FC on July 24 required a collective effort from all 14 players who featured for Sporting KC, but one individual may have stolen the show. Forward Dom Dwyer contributed as the front line of defense and also netted a pair of goals, thus entering the club record books for a pair of noteworthy milestones. The 26-year-old Englishman notched the eighth brace of his regular season career, entering a tie with Vitalis “Digital” Takawira for the most multi-goal games in club history. Three of those doubles have come this season -- first on March 12 against Vancouver Whitecaps FC and then on June 25 at Montreal Impact.

After a pivotal home-and-away set with Portland, Sporting KC heads south to face Supporters’ Shield leaders FC Dallas on Aug. 13. Oscar Pareja’s men have been fantastic at home in 2016, posting a 9-0-3 record at Toyota Stadium. Sporting KC then travels further south -- approximately 2,700 miles, in fact -- to face Trinidadian side Central FC in its first match of the Scotiabank 2016-17 CONCACAF Champions League on Aug. 16.

Dwyer’s latest salvo vaulted him to the 10-goal mark for the third consecutive regular season. He joins Preki and Josh Wolff as the only players in club history to hit double-digit goals in three separate regular seasons. Dwyer (2014-16) and Preki (1996-98) are the only ones to hit at least 10 in three consecutive seasons.

Peter Vermes’ men enjoy a trip back home to meet Whitecaps FC in regular season play on Aug. 20, then play a return game in Vancouver three days later in the CONCACAF Champions League. The travel-heavy month of August ends with a cross-continent trip from Vancouver to Philadelphia, where Sporting KC will meet the Union on Aug. 27 in a rematch of the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final. The August excursion will see Sporting KC travel more than 14,000 miles from Aug. 5-28.

CONQUERING CASCADIA

Sporting KC is unbeaten in 13 straight regular season matches against Major League Soccer’s three Cascadia teams -- the Portland Timbers, Seattle Sounders FC and Vancouver Whitecaps FC. The streak dates back to the beginning of 2015 and has seen Peter Vermes’ men go 8-0-5 against the Pacific Northwest trio, including 2-0-2 vs. Portland, 3-0-2 vs. Seattle and 3-0-1 vs. Vancouver. Among the games played at Children’s Mercy Park, Sporting KC has five wins and three draws. More impressively, perhaps, Sporting KC is unbeaten in six regular season trips to the Pacific Northwest (two each in Portland, Seattle and Vancouver). The last time Sporting KC fell to a Cascadia foe in the regular season was Aug. 10, 2014, a 2-0 setback at Whitecaps FC.

LAST TIME OUT: SKC EDGES TIMBERS

Jacob Peterson’s 50th minute header gave Sporting KC an invaluable 1-0 win over the Portland Timbers last Sunday afternoon at sold-out Children’s Mercy Park. Manager Peter Vermes claimed his 100th career coaching win in the MLS regular season as fourth-place Sporting KC (10-10-4, 34 points) moved five points clear of seventh-place Portland (7-8-8, 29 points) in the Western Conference playoff race.

PETERSON POISED FOR 100TH SUB APPEARANCE

Facing the defending MLS Cup champions for the first time in 2016, Sporting KC won their fifth consecutive match at Children’s Mercy Park and extended their regular season shutout streak against Portland to five games (482 minutes) dating back to 2014. Peterson’s third goal of the season, following a delightful free-kick delivery from Benny Feilhaber, was the difference maker in a rainy game played before a national television audience on FOX.

Sporting KC forward Jacob Peterson has started 139 of his 238 career regular season appearances. He is one shy of his 100th substitute appearance, which would be sixth most in MLS history. Should he hit the century mark, Peterson would join elite company among other heralded players, including MLS’s No. 2 all-time leading scorer Jeff Cunningham (134 regular season goals). Player (MLS career) Sub appearances (GP-GS) 1. Jeff Cunningham (1998-2011) 132 (365-233) 2. Alan Gordon (2004 - ) 110 (234-124) 3. Dominic Oduro (2006 - ) 109 (300-191) 6.

VERMES REACHES 100 REGULAR SEASON WINS

Sporting KC Manager Peter Vermes earned his 100th regular season win last Sunday with a 1-0 result against the Portland Timbers at Children’s Mercy Park. His 100 regular season victories are eighth most in MLS history and fifth most among active coaches behind Sigi Schmid (228), Bruce Arena (199), Dominic Kinnear (158) and Jason Kreis (101). Vermes has now coached 279 matches for Kansas City in all competitions with a 124-90-65 record.

ABDUL-SALAAM HAPPY TO ASSIST

Sporting KC right back Saad Abdul-Salaam is tied for the lead among MLS defenders in 2016 with five assists. The second-year defender tallied his fifth helper of the season in a 3-0 rout of Seattle Sounders FC on July 24. AbulSalaam, 24, was selected in the first round of the 2015 MLS SuperDraft and has since started 30 of 49 appearances for the club in all competitions.

Among the eight men who have won at least 100 regular season matches, Vermes becomes just the fifth — alongside Sigi Schmid, Bruce Arena, Dominic Kinnear and Steve Nicol — to hit triple digits with a single club. He and Nicol are the only coaches in the group to spend their entire MLS coaching tenure with one team.

83 STRAIGHT AND COUNTING

As the state-of-the-art home of Sporting KC, Children’s Mercy Park has sold out 83 consecutive MLS matches dating back to April 2012 (including four playoff games) and 95 of 104 league matches since opening in 2011. The 18,467seat venue has averaged 105 percent capacity over the last five MLS seasons, drawing more than 19,400 fans per game.

Sporting KC Game Notes | August 7, 2016 at Portland Timbers | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES (CONTINUED) IKE OPARA NAMED TO MLS TEAM OF THE WEEK EPIC 2015 PLAYOFF MATCH REVISITED Sporting KC entered last Sunday’s match against the Portland Timbers with an impressive regular season shutout streak against the reigning MLS Cup champion Portland Timbers. Ike Opara had no plans for that streak to end.

Sporting KC’s 2015 season ended in heartbreaking fashion on Oct. 29 at the Portland Timbers in the Western Conference Knockout Round. Kevin Ellis sent the single-elimination match to extra time with the game-tying goal in the 87th minute and Krisztian Nemeth lifted Sporting KC into the lead with a stunning strike in the first of two 15-minute periods.

Sporting KC’s strapping center back delivered a resolute performance at rainy Children’s Mercy Park last Sunday, anchoring the backline in a 1-0 victory that saw the Timbers extend their scoreless skid in the regular season series to 482 minutes. Opara, who helped limit an explosive Portland side to a single shot on goal, landed MLSsoccer.com Team of the Week honors on Monday as his team won its fifth straight home game and moved five points ahead of Portland in the ultra-competitive Western Conference playoff race.

However, the Timbers rallied with a late equalizer of their own in the 118th minute to level the match at 2-2 and survived the longest penalty kick shootout in MLS postseason history. Portland goalkeeper Adam Kwarasey converted his penalty kick in the 11th round and then made the decisive save to send the Timbers into the Western Conference Semifinals. Caleb Porter’s men would go on to win MLS Cup, ousting Vancouver Whitecaps FC, FC Dallas and Columbus Crew SC in that order.

Opara added four clearances, four interceptions, completed 88 percent of his passes and further endeared himself to the Children’s Mercy Park faithful, limiting the impact of Timbers attacking trio Fanendo Adi, Lucas Melano and Diego Valeri.

Homegrown goalkeeper Jon Kempin, who entered with six minutes remaining in regulation, made three saves in the shootout and four Sporting Kansas City players - Paulo Nagamura, Soni Mustivar, Jacob Peterson and Amadou Dia - all converted attempts with the match on the line. Nevertheless, Sporting KC were eliminated on the road in the Knockout Round for the second straight year as all four home teams advanced in last year’s opening round of postseason play.

THREE TITLES IN FOUR YEARS

When Sporting KC lifted the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup last September, it became the fifth MLS club to win three major trophies in a four-year span since 2005, joining Seattle, D.C. United, LA Galaxy and Columbus Crew SC. Should Sporting KC add to its trophy haul in 2016, it would join LA as the only MLS clubs to win four titles in a five-year span since 2005. Sporting KC Seattle Sounders FC D.C. United LA Galaxy Columbus Crew SC

The match went into the history books as one of the best in MLS postseason history and is widely remembered for Saad Abdul-Salaam’s missed spot kick in the ninth round of the penalty shootout. Abdul-Salaam would have won the match with a successful attempt, but his right-footed effort caromed off both posts and out as Portland received a lifeline that would ultimately afford them the opportunity to win MLS Cup.

SPORTING STYMIES PORTLAND

While Peter Vermes’ milestone 100th regular season win deservedly grabbed the headlines last Sunday, Sporting KC continued a remarkable streak against the Timbers that should not be ignored. Portland has now failed to score in five consecutive regular season meetings against Vermes’ men. The dry spell spans 482 minutes and dates back to April 2013, when the Timbers bagged a 3-2 win in Kansas City. Since then, Caleb Porter’s side has been stymied, stifled and scoreless against their Western Conference counterpart. Amazingly enough, Sporting KC’s 482-minute shutout streak against Portland is only the fourth longest against a single opponent in club history. An opportunity arises this coming Sunday to extend the streak to 572 minutes, as the clubs wrap up their two-game set in a nationally televised clash at Providence Park.
