TORONTO FC vs SPORTING KANSAS CITY BMO FIELD, Toronto, Ont. August 8, 2015 (WEEK 23, MLS Game #228) 4 p.m. ET (TSN Net; KMCI-38) A matchup of teams sitting in prime position in each conference is ahead when Toronto FC plays host to Sporting Kansas City on Saturday afternoon at BMO Field. Toronto FC sit in a tie for third place in the Eastern Conference, kicking off a critical homestand at BMO Field with a 4-1 win against Orlando City SC at midweek. Sporting are firmly placed in fourth spot in the West, coming off a 1-1 home draw with the Houston Dynamo last weekend at Sporting Park. REFEREE: Mark Geiger.

Sporting have a five-game undefeated streak alive vs. Toronto FC, dating back to the 2013 season. Last year, SKC won the final two meetings between the clubs – once at each ground – also playing to a draw in Kansas City. Sporting have won on their last two trips to BMO Field, including a 2-1 win there last year. TFC have never won at Sporting Park. Sporting are undefeated in their last seven home meetings vs. TFC, with six wins and one draw in that time; Toronto FC’s lone win in Kansas City came in 2009 at CommunityAmerica Ballpark. Coaches record: Greg Vanney vs. KC: first game … Peter Vermes vs. TOR: P13 W9 L1 T3 TORONTO FC Toronto FC extended their home undefeated run, rolling to a 4-1 win against Orlando City SC on Wednesday evening at BMO Field. TFC are in a tie for third place in the Eastern Conference with 31 points from 21 matches. LAST MATCH TFC took the lead in the 12th minute after Orlando City defender Aurelien Collin was adjudged to have felled Sebastian Giovinco as he cut into the area and referee Silviu Petrescu pointed to spot. Giovinco converted his own penalty, beating goalkeeper Tally Hall with a low right-footed shot. Orlando City responded within six minutes through Luke Boden. Collecting a pass at the top of the box, Boden shaped a well-placed, left-footed shot towards the top left corner. TFC goalkeeper Joe Bendik got his fingertips to the shot, but could not prevent the ball from crossing the line. The home side took the lead in the 56th minute, when Giovinco scored his second of the night with a lovely, right-footed freekick from straight out that sailed over the Orlando wall and kissed the left post before going on, rooting Hall helplessly to his line. Toronto put the match out of reach in the 81st minute from another set piece. Benoit Cheyrou played a short corner to Jonathan Osorio near the byeline, and he flung a cross through the goalmouth, where it was met by Collen Warner at the back post for a header that got past Hall. The result was sealed in the 88th minute when Giovinco got on the end of a long Benoit Cheyrou pass and carried into the left side of the area, stabbing another shot across Hall and inside the far post to complete his hat trick. TFC head coach Greg Vanney made one change to the team that fell 3-1 to the New England Revolution at Gillette Stadium. Collen Warner came into the team for the suspended Jozy Altidore.
MLS GAME INFORMATION
TORONTO FC (4-3-1-2): Joseph Bendik - Jackson, Damien Perquis (Eriq Zavaleta 82), Ahmed Kantari, Justin Morrow - Collen Warner (Daniel Lovitz 87), Benoit Cheyrou, Jonathan Osorio - Marky Delgado - Sebastian Giovinco, Robbie Findley (Jay Chapman 72). TEAM NEWS Toronto FC won for the first time after a loss and a draw, their third win over the last nine league matches. They have not won back-to-back games since winning three in a row May 23-June 6. For us it was about our mentality and about being more aggressive in terms of how we play; move faster with the ball, just be more intense and be more engaged and focused. When we do we are much better team, when we don’t we have lapses and we have to get those out of our game,” said TFC head coach Greg Vanney. Sebastian Giovinco scored his second hat trick, joining the LA Galaxy’s Robbie Keane as the only players in MLS with two hat tricks this season. It was his fourth multiple-goal game of the season, tied for the league lead. Giovinco also now leads the MLS Golden Boot standings with 16 goals this season, and is in fourth place in the MLS assist standings with 11. Giovinco has 16 goals and 9 assists on TFC’s last 31 goals, dating back to April 4. He has eight goals and three assists over the last five games. “It’s special every time we get to see him play. He comes up with some amazing moments,” said Vanney. “What I thought was better from a team standpoint is that we moved the ball better which means he gets the ball with more time to do things, that’s important. If everybody takes a half second less on the ball it gives him an extra second to two seconds by the time it gets to him and he starts to run at guys and then guys are having nightmares in the back. That was good for us and we got him in good spots. I think if we hit a couple more passes he would have five or six at the end of the night.” Said Giovinco: “For me, every goal is my best goal and usually the next one will be the best one. I am happy to score on a freekick because it has been a lot of games since I last scored a freekick goal.” Benoit Cheyrou recorded a pair of assists, his first assists in league play since June 5, the first multiple-assist game of his MLS career. “His game was really on in terms of turning away from guys, wrongfooting players enough to get facing forward. He was doing a great job of just dicing and hitting passes between lines that were able to find players who could then move forward. I thought he was very good,” said Vanney. Collen Warner scored his second goal of the league campaign, both coming over the last three matches. They are his first two goals since the 2013 season, when he was with the Montréal Impact. “I’ve been finding myself in the box more than usual lately which has been pleasant and I’ve been making the most of my chances. I think our defensive group is coming together really well which gives us a lot of support and a lot of confidence to move forward,” said Warner. Jonathan Osorio recorded his fourth assist of the season, his second in the last four games. Osorio has a goal and the two assists in the four-game span since July 18. SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City failed to win in back-to-back games for the first time in three months, hauled back into a 1-1 draw with the Houston Dynamo on Saturday evening at Sporting Park. Sporting are in fourth place in the Western Conference with 34 points from 20 matches. LAST MATCH Sporting took the lead in the sixth minute. Benny Feilhaber swung in a free kick from the right wing and Dom Dwyer rose in the box to nod home. The Dynamo leveled terms in nearly identical circumstances in the 78th minute. From nearly the same spot on the pitch as the SKC goal, Brad Davis swung in a free kick and Ricardo Clark went up to send a header home for the equalizer. The Dynamo finished the match a man down when midfielder Nathan Sturgis was shown a straight red card by referee Jorge Gonzalez in the 86th minute for a serious foul on Kansas City's Roger Espinoza. SKC manager Peter Vermes made five changes to the team that fell 2-1 to Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium. Chance Myers, Kevin Ellis and Amadou Dia all came into the back four, for Saad Abdul-Salaam, Erik PalmerBrown and Marcel de Jong. Benny Feilhaber came into the midfield in place of Paulo Nagamura, and Graham Zusi started out wide for Jacob Peterson. SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Tim Melia - Chance Myers (Saad Abdul-Salaam 79), Kevin Ellis, Matt Besler, Amadou Dia - Soni Mustivar - Benny Feilhaber, Roger Espinoza (Paulo Nagamura 90) - Graham Zusi (Jacob Peterson 90), Dom Dwyer, Krisztian Nemeth. TEAM NEWS Sporting failed to win for a second consecutive game for the first time since April 25, when they completed a three-game winless run. They still have yet to lose back-to-back games this year. “It wasn't a good game for either team. It was a very scrappy game, back and forth. We sure did give a lot of chances away. We created some good ones, but not enough. Both teams were just scrappy,” said Sporting manager Peter Vermes.
MLS GAME INFORMATION
Dom Dwyer scored his seventh goal of the season, his second in three games in league play. He has eight goals over Sporting’s last eight games in all competitions. “Obviously we are a little bit frustrated. It wasn't the result we wanted. We wanted to get three points. We'll take the positives out of it, get the point and move on to the next one,” Dwyer said. Benny Feilhaber collected his 11th assist of the season, adding to his single-season career-high, now in a three-way tie for second place on the MLS assist leaderboard. Feilhaber has seven goals and seven assists over the last 13 league games, dating back to April 25. The SKC goal came from a free kick, the first goal they’ve scored from a set-piece situation in league play since May 29. Sporting has scored six goals from deadball situations this season, part of a four-way tie for sixth-most in MLS this season. With the free kick goal allowed to the Dynamo, SKC have now conceded seven goals on set pieces this season – in a five-way tie for most in the league. “I hate giving up any set pieces in any game. But we scored a great one. I thought we were dangerous in and around the box many times,” Vermes said. Chance Myers came into the back four for his second league start of the season, his first since June 27. Kevin Ellis and Amadou Dia also returned after a one-match absence. After making his first start in more than two months in MLS, Paulo Nagamura came off the substitutes’ bench, in place of Roger Espinoza – who was later diagnosed to have suffered a fractured sesamoid in his left foot, which will put him out of action for up to 10 weeks.

Sporting KC Game Notes | Aug. 8, 2015 at Toronto FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #TORvSKC: HEAD-TO-HEAD
#TORvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS
Sporting KC’s .690 regular season winning percentage versus Toronto FC is the team’s highest against any opponent in MLS (12-4-5 record). Moreover, the Reds’ 12 losses to Kansas City are tied for the most against any MLS foe in the Canadian club’s nine-year history (D.C. United). Peter Vermes’ side has just one loss to TFC in the last 13 MLS meetings dating back to 2010 (9-1-3), including victories in five of the last six. Sporting KC is unbeaten in their last five trips to BMO Field and have won each of their last three matches played at the stadium by a one-goal margin. Toronto is winless in their last five games against Sporting KC overall, most recently triumphing in March 2013 at the Rogers Centre. The teams last met on Aug. 16, 2014, at Sporting Park. Dom Dwyer struck twice from the penalty spot in the first half before Soony Saad and C.J. Sapong each added second half goals to seal a 4-1 win. Homegrown goalkeeper Jon Kempin made two saves and earned the victory in his first career MLS start at age 21, making him the youngest goalkeeper to start a match in club history. The most recent tilt at BMO Field came on July 26 of last year. Sporting KC earned their club record fifth straight road win after coming from behind for a 2-1 victory. Graham Zusi’s goal in the 48th minute canceled out Jackson’s 16th-minute opener and — playing with 10 men after a red card to Matt Besler in the 75th minute — Sporting KC secured the full three points when Jacob Peterson scored the decisive game-winner against his former club in the 80th minute.

Sporting KC Game Notes | Aug. 8, 2015 at Toronto FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES SPORTING HEADS NORTH OF THE BORDER TO FACE TORONTO FC Sporting KC will kick off a stretch of five games in 15 days when they take on Toronto FC on Saturday at BMO Field. Sporting KC’s only meeting with Toronto FC in 2015 will feature Major League Soccer’s two MVP frontrunners — Benny Feilhaber and Sebastian Giovinco — along with four members of the U.S. Men’s National Team in Matt Besler, Graham Zusi, Michael Bradley and Jozy Altidore. Sporting KC (9-4-7, 34 points) is currently fourth in the Western Conference standings, five points behind leaders Vancouver Whitecaps FC but with at least two games in hand on all clubs above them in the table. Peter Vermes’ side will be without regular starters Dom Dwyer and Roger Espinoza for Saturday’s road match. Dwyer is suspended for yellow card accumulation, while Espinoza suffered a sesamoid fracture in his left foot during last Saturday’s 1-1 draw against Houston and faces the next 10 weeks on the sidelines. Seeking its first postseason berth in the club’s nine-year history, Toronto FC (9-84, 31 points) sits third in the East and leads MLS with 1.71 goals per game. Giovinco, a first-year Designated Player acquired from storied Italian club Juventus FC, has played a part in an MLS-best 26 goals this season and currently leads the Golden Boot race with 16 strikes of his own. Toronto is fresh off Wednesday’s 4-1 home win over Orlando City SC in which Giovinco netted his second hat-trick of the year.
TOUGH TO BEAT Sporting KC has been hard to beat during the first four months of the 2015 campaign. Their four losses are the fewest of any MLS team and tied for the fewest through 20 games in team history. The 2000 Kansas City Wizards, led by then-centerback Peter Vermes, started 11-4-5 en route to winning the club’s first Supporters’ Shield title and MLS Cup. Sporting KC has had five losses through 20 games in each of the previous two seasons (9-5-6 in 2013 and 10-5-5 in 2014). FEILHABER ON FIRE Just 20 games into the 2015 season, Benny Feilhaber has set MLS career-highs with seven goals and 11 assists. The 30-year-old World Cup veteran won MLS Player of the Month for April and received MLS All-Star honors for the first time in his career when he was named to the All-Star Fan XI and competed in the 2015 AT&T MLS AllStar Game on July 29. Following his set piece assist to Dom Dwyer last Saturday, Feilhaber moved to eight goals and 15 assists in all competitions this year. With at least three months still to play, he is on pace to break Preki’s single-season assist record in all competitions for the club (18 in 2003). He also becomes just the second player in club history — alongside Preki — to record eight goals and 15 assists in a single season (all competitions). Preki accomplished the feat in 1997 and 2003.
CONQUERING CANADA Sporting KC owns a 21-8-8 regular season record against Major League Soccer’s three Canadian teams. Their 21 combined wins against Toronto FC (12), Montreal Impact (6) and Vancouver Whitecaps FC (3) are most among American MLS clubs, while their nine victories on Canadian soil are tied for tops among American sides with D.C. United. Kansas City’s .605 regular season winning percentage in Canada (9-5-5 record) is best in MLS. Most MLS wins vs. Canadian Teams* 1. SKC 21-8-8 (.676) 2. CLB 19-12-10 (.585) 3. DC 18-11-9 (.592) 4. DAL 17-4-8 (.724) 5. COL 16-11-2 (.586) *Rankings include American MLS clubs only

The 29-year-old goalkeeper tallied four saves in last Saturday’s 1-1 draw against the Houston Dynamo, his ninth start of 2015 allowing one goal or fewer. Sporting KC improved their home unbeaten streak to 14 games last Saturday with the draw against Houston. Melia played a pivotal role in the result, deflecting a Brad Davis long-range strike in the 32nd minute and stopping a Will Bruin breakaway early in the first half. The keeper is in the midst of his best season as a professional with six shutouts through 12 games. He is three behind League-leader David Ousted in total shutouts but leads all goalkeepers with 0.5 shutouts per game. Melia’s nine goals allowed are fewest among MLS goalkeepers with at least 10 appearances and his 0.75 goals against average is tied with D.C. United’s Bill Hamid for best in MLS.

VERMES CLIMBING THE RANKS Sporting KC manager Peter Vermes is one win shy of tying Bob Gansler as the winningest coach in club history. Vermes has 85 regular season wins and 107 victories in all competitions since becoming head coach in August 2009. Both totals are one behind Gansler, who coached the team from 1999-2006. Vermes is ninth all-time (sixth among active coaches) on the regular season wins chart. He earned his 100th career coaching win in all competitions on May 29 as Sporting KC beat FC Dallas 4-0. He has a 107-72-57 record since taking over in August 2009 and is the only person to win MLS Cup as both a player (2000) and coach (2013) with the same team.
DOWN TO FOUR IN THE OPEN CUP U.S. Soccer conducted the official draw Wednesday to determine the below hosting priorities for the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final among the four teams remaining in the competition: Chicago Fire - Hosts with win over Philadelphia on Aug. 12 Real Salt Lake - Hosts with win over SKC on Aug. 12 AND Philadelphia win Philadelphia Union - Hosts with win over Chicago on Aug. 12 AND SKC win Sporting KC - Will not host 2015 U.S. Open Cup Final The 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final will be played on Wednesday, Sept. 30 with a $250,000 grand prize and a 2016-17 Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League berth at stake. The Dewar Challenge Trophy has been competed for annually since 1912 and symbolic of the U.S. Open Cup champion since 1914, making it one of the oldest nationally contested trophies in American team sports. The budding rivalry between Sporting KC and Real Salt Lake is set to continue in the semifinal round. Sporting KC earned a 3-1 win over Houston Dynamo in the U.S. Open Cup quarterfinals on July 21 and will now play the Claret and Cobalt for the fourth time this season with a berth in the final at stake. The game will kick off this Wednesday at Sporting Park. The clubs previously battled to a 0-0 draw at Sporting Park (April 11) before RSL picked up a pair of 2-1 home wins (June 21 and July 24). Sporting Park has attracted the largest crowds in each of the three previous rounds of this year’s tournament with a total of 56,000 fans in attendance. The record crowd for a semifinal match in the U.S. Open Cup’s modern era (1995-present) is 14,742 set by Real Salt Lake in 2013. Sporting KC has twice lifted the Dewar Challenge Trophy as champions of the competition, winning the tournament title in 2004 at Arrowhead Stadium and again in 2012 at Sporting Park. Dom Dwyer currently leads all players as the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup’s top scorer and his five goals are tied for the most by a KC player in U.S. Open Cup history.
HOT AT HOME A 3-1 win over the Houston Dynamo on July 21 in the U.S. Open Cup marked the Sporting KC’s ninth consecutive home win since the beginning of May, setting a new club record. The result saw Sporting KC top the eight-game winning run made in 2004 when Bob Gansler’s side won the U.S. Open Cup in September and advanced to MLS Cup in November. While last Saturday’s 1-1 draw against Houston snapped the winning streak, it extended a 14-game home unbeaten run in all competitions dating back to March 8, tying the previous club record which spanned two seasons from 2004-2005. In addition, Sporting KC’s 11-game home unbeaten run in MLS (7-0-4) breaks club record set in 2008. Longest home winning streaks in KC history (all competitions) Win streak Dates Aggregate score Shutouts 9 games 5/3 to 7/21/2015 24-6 5 8 games 8/24 to 11/5/2004 11-0 8 7 games 5/27 to 8/23/1998 14-3 4 7 games 3/25 to 5/20/2000 16-3 6 ROAD WARRIORS Sporting KC has won 31 road matches in MLS since the beginning of 2011, most in the league, including eight away wins in each of the previous three regular seasons. Their 24 road wins from 2012-2014 are the most of any MLS club over a three-year span during the non-shootout era (2000-present). SKC is the only MLS team with a non-losing road record since the beginning of 2011 (including postseason), compiling a 31-31-20 mark away from home.

2015 MEDIA RECOGNITIONS SAADABDUL-SALAAM Team of the Week
ESPINOZA SIDELINED WITH FOOT INJURY Midfielder Roger Espinoza suffered a left sesamoid fracture in the team’s 1-1 draw last Saturday and is expected to miss at least 10 weeks while recovering from the injury, Sporting KC announced Thursday. The injury occurred in the 86th minute on a tackle by Houston Dynamo midfielder Nathan Sturgis, who was subsequently ejected from the match for serious foul play. Espinoza has started 20 matches for Sporting KC across all competitions in 2015 after returning to the club following a two-year stint with Wigan Athletic in England. A Honduran international, Espinoza has 46 career caps for Los Catrachos including appearances at the 2010/2014 FIFA World Cups and 2012 Summer Olympics. Espinoza was drafted by Kansas City in the first round of the 2008 MLS SuperDraft as a Generation adidas signing out of Ohio State. He was named Kansas City’s Rookie of the Year in 2008 to begin a five-year run that culminated with MLS All-Star honors and a Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup championship in 2012. He joined Wigan Athletic in January 2013, making his English Premier League debut that same month before scoring his first goal for the Latics in an EPL match against Swansea in May. Four days later, Espinoza started and played the full 90 minutes in Wigan’s historic 1-0 victory in the 2013 FA Cup final over Manchester City at Wembley Stadium. After making 57 appearances for Wigan, Espinoza returned to Sporting KC prior to the 2015 season. The 28-year-old has made 150 appearances for the club across all competition with three goals and 17 assists.

LAST TIME OUT: SPORTING KC 1-1 HOUSTON DYNAMO Sporting KC extended the club’s home unbeaten streak to 14 games (10-0-4) across all competitions, tying the club record, with a 1-1 draw against the Houston Dynamo last Saturday at Sporting Park. Dom Dwyer scored in his sixth straight game against Houston on Benny Feilhaber’s 11th assist of the season, second most in MLS. Dwyer opened the scoring in the sixth minute, winning a foul along the right sideline and then heading home the ensuing free kick from Feilhaber. The Englishman held off Ricardo Clark and directed a glancing header inside the far post from eight yards out to move into a share of the team lead with seven regular season goals on the season. Houston scored the game-tying goal in the 78th minute, canceling out the Sporting KC lead through a set piece of their own. Davis whipped a free kick to the top of the six-yard box where Clark rose high to snap his header between Melia and Soni Mustivar. Davis, Major League Soccer’s active assists leader with 118, collected the 100th regular season assist of his Houston career. The match ended in a cloud of controversy after an incident in the fifth minute of second-half stoppage time. Referee Jorge Gonzalez took no action when Matt Besler’s long throw bounced into the arm of second-half substitute Luis Garrido inside the penalty area. Gonzalez, positioned a few yards from the incident, waved off the appeals for a penalty kick and later explained that the contact was not deliberate as the player’s arm was judged to be in a natural playing position.

The 27-year-old native of Venezuela appeared in 72 matches over four seasons with Columbus, scoring 12 goals and adding three game-winning assists since being drafted out of the University of South Florida in 2011. He made his Sporting KC debut with a start on March 8. Anor played 13 MLS matches as a rookie and 11 games in 2012 before suffering a season-ending ACL injury. He returned in 2013 to make 19 MLS starts and earn the club’s Comeback Player of the Year award. He netted a career-high six goals in 2014, helping Columbus earn a postseason berth for the first time since 2011. Anor was South Florida’s top scorer for three seasons during his collegiate career (2007-2010) in which he recorded 21 goals and seven assists. His younger brother, Juan Pablo, plays professionally for Malaga CF in Spain’s La Liga, and his father, Bernardo, represented Venezuela at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow.
Sporting KC captain Matt Besler is in his seventh season at his hometown club. He has earned MLS Best XI (2012, 2013), MLS All-Star (2011, 2013-2015), MLS Defender of the Year (2012) and MLS Breakout Player of the Year (2012) honors and was named the 2014 KC Sportsman of the Year by the Kansas City Sports Commission. He was named to the MLS All-Star Fan XI ahead of the 2015 AT&T MLS All-Star Game on July 29. Besler signed a long-term Designated Player contract with the club in July 2014. His 203 appearances for Sporting KC in all competitions lead the current roster and rank eighth most all-time. A regular staple of the team’s backline, he has started 164 of his 169 MLS regular season appearances and landed Sporting KC Defender of the Year honors three times (2011-2013). Besler has earned 25 caps for the United States Men’s National Team since debuting in January 2013. He was on the U.S. roster for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil alongside teammate Graham Zusi, becoming the first Kansan to play in the World Cup. He started all four matches in the tournament as the U.S. finished Group G runners-up behind eventual champion Germany and advanced to the Round of 16. He helped lead the U.S. to the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup title, starting all three matches in the knockout stage. 15

Defender Ike Opara is in his sixth season in MLS and third season as a member of Sporting KC. After sitting out almost a year through injury, he returned to the pitch on March 8 and scored Sporting KC’s first goal of the season. He led MLS through Week 6 with 30 interceptions and was nominated for Eithad Airways MLS Player of the Month for March after scoring twice and anchoring a backline that posted two shutouts. He then suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon injury in his right ankle on April 11. The club’s 2013 Newcomer of the Year, Opara appeared in a career-best 18 MLS matches with 15 starts during the club’s MLS Cup-winning campaign. He scored four goals in 2013 across all competitions (all headers) and featured in three of Sporting KC’s playoff matches. A season-ending ankle injury limited him to three MLS appearances in 2014 and two starts in the 2014-15 CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals. Opara represented the United States at the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup, playing all three matches at the tournament, and at the U-23 level during the 2012 CONCACAF Men’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament. He was drafted by the San Jose Earthquakes in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft as a Generation adidas signing and played 36 MLS matches for the club over three seasons.
One of the youngest players under contract in MLS, Erik Palmer-Brown became a homegrown player in August 2013 at age 16. On March 8, he became the youngest MLS player to appear in a team’s regular season opener since 2010 and recorded his first MLS minutes at Sporting Park. The 18-year-old earned his first start of 2015 on May 9 at D.C. Palmer-Brown made his league debut with a start in May 2014, becoming the youngest player in MLS history to start a match as a defender, for the first of six appearances in all competitions (including debuts in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and CONCACAF Champions League). He played in the inaugural Chipotle MLS Homegrown Game last August and made his second appearance in the annual match on July 28 of this year. The Lee’s Summit, Mo. native joined the Sporting KC Academy at age 13 and has represented United States youth national teams at the U-15, U-17, U-18 and U-20 levels. This year, he competed with the U-20s at training camps in England (March 23-30) and Austria (April 18-26) before joining the U.S. Under-20 Men’s National Team for the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup. He started one match in the tournament as the U.S. advanced to the quarterfinals before losing a penalty kick shootout to Serbia.

A nine-year MLS veteran, Peterson has 15 goals and 15 assists in 215 regular season appearances over the course of his professional career. Now in his fourth season with Sporting KC, he has contributed eight goals and eight assists in 99 games across all competitions for the club. Peterson is one of only two players in MLS history, alongside former Kansas City defender Nick Garcia, to be a member of teams that won each of the following: NCAA Division I National Championship (2003, 2004), Canadian Championship (2010, 2011), U.S. Open Cup (2012) and MLS Cup (2013). As a youth, Peterson represented the United States at the 2003 FIFA U-17 World Championships and 2005 FIFA U-20 World Cup. Four seasons with the Colorado Rapids (2006-09) were followed by stints with Toronto FC (2010-11) and the San Jose Earthquakes (2011) before he was acquired by Sporting KC in 2012. His 215 regular season appearances are second most on the team, behind only Paulo Nagamura (231).
Sporting KC signed 21-year-old midfielder Jordi Quintilla on Aug. 6, 2015. He becomes the youngest Spaniard currently in Major League Soccer and occupies an international roster spot for Sporting KC. Quintilla developed as a youth at UE Lleida before moving to FC Barcelona’s famed La Masia academy, where he trained alongside former Sporting KC midfielder Oriol Rosell. In 2012, he began his professional career as an 18-year-old with Barcelona B in Spain’s second division and later went on loan to CF Badalona and CE L’Hospitalet. Most recently, Quintilla spent the 2014/15 season with AC Ajaccio in the French Ligue 2 and played in 20 games across all competitions for the club.

Sporting KC’s 2014 Defender of the Year, Seth Sinovic is in his sixth MLS season and fifth campaign at his hometown club. A regular fixture at left back, he is the only player on the team to start at least 30 regular season games in each of the last three seasons. Drafted in 2010 by the New England Revolution, he joined Sporting KC in 2011 and has started 145 of his 147 total appearances for the club in all competitions. He scored his first professional goal in the 2012 MLS Cup Playoffs and registered the second of his career in the 2013 postseason against his former team, helping Sporting KC prevail in the decisive leg of the 2013 Eastern Conference Semifinals. Since the beginning of 2011, Sinovic is tied for fifth in MLS with 48 clean sheet contributions (including playoffs). He received his first call-up to the United States Men’s National Team ahead of the 2014 USMNT January camp.
A seventh-year veteran for Sporting KC, Graham Zusi has garnered MLS All-Star (20122015), MLS Best XI (2012-2013) and MLS Breakout Player of the Year (2011) honors in addition to receiving a 2012 MLS MVP nomination. The winger is the only MLS player with at least five goals and at least seven assists in each of the last four regular seasons. He has earned Sporting KC MVP honors each of the last three years (twice a co-MVP) and has led the club in assists every year since 2011. He was named to the All-Star Fan XI ahead of the 2015 AT&T MLS All-Star Game on July 29 and is the only player to appear in each of the last four MLS All-Star games. Zusi signed a long-term Designated Player contract with the team in July 2014, and Sporting KC is 18-0-2 all-time when he scores an MLS goal. He is third in MLS with 386 chances created and second with 371 successful crosses/corners since 2011 (including playoffs). His 53 career assists in all competitions are third most in club history. Zusi has earned 32 caps for the United States Men’s National Team since debuting in January 2012, recording three goals and six assists. He was on the U.S. roster for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, playing in all four matches at the tournament. In the group stage, he provided the game-winning assist in a 2-1 win over Ghana before adding another assist in a 2-2 draw with Portugal.

Sporting KC Coach Bios | Aug. 8, 2015 at Toronto FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes Manager | 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 enters his seventh season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2015. He is the team’s second-longest serving head coach, and his .558 regular season winning percentage (85-62-51) is best in club history. During his tenure, he has won two major trophies – the 2012 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and the 2013 MLS Cup championship – as well as two MLS Eastern Conference regular season titles (2011, 2012). He is the second coach to lead Sporting KC to four 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 85 regular season wins are ninth most in MLS history. He recorded his 100th coaching win for Sporting KC in all competitions with a 4-0 result over FC Dallas on May 29, 2015, at Sporting Park. Vermes oversees all soccer operations for Sporting KC, including the active roster and the Sporting KC Juniors program. Vermes, an original member of Major League Soccer, 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.
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. 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.
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.
On top of his club success in Kansas City, Zavagnin also appeared 21 times for the United States National Team. He recorded one assist for the Red, White and Blue. The U.S. team went 15-2-4 when Zavagnin appeared. Zavagnin married his wife Mirriam prior to the 2009 season, when he became an assistant coach at the club.
Vermes was an integral part of a young U.S. team at the 1990 World Cup in Italy, where he nearly scored a sensational goal 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 Figueras of the Spanish Second Division.
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.
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.
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.
Vermes joined Kansas City in 2000 for what would be the most successful seasons 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 184 MLS matches and playing more than 16,000 minutes. He was nominated on the players’ ballot for the National Soccer Hall of Fame from 2007-2012. In 2013, Vermes was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame. Year

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.

Assistant Coach | John Pascarella Assistant Coach John Pascarella played professionally for nine seasons before beginning his coaching career in 1998 at the University of Maryland. Pascarella played club soccer with Sporting Kansas City Technical Director Peter Vermes. His playing experience took him to Peru before he returned to the United States to play in the A-League and MLS.
Fitness Coach | Mateus Manoel
Once his playing career was over, Pascarella began coaching as a member of Sasho Cirovski’s staff at Maryland. He then went on to work in Northern Virginia youth soccer circles as a high school coach and Olympic Development Program coach before becoming the Head Coach and Technical Director of the Northern Virginia Royals of the USL’s Premier Development League for two seasons.
Mateus Manoel is in his sixth season with Sporting Kansas City as Head Fitness Coach. His responsibilities cover all aspects of sport performance and science for the team, including strength and conditioning, injury prevention, field practices, nutrition, fitness monitoring (training load and readiness), player re-adaptation following rehab and recovery.
Pascarella joined Kansas City’s technical staff in 2009 and was a goalkeeper and fitness coach until 2011, when he became an assistant.
In the summer of 2010, Manoel was an Assistant Fitness Coach for the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team during the FIFA World Cup in South Africa. He had formerly served as the Head Fitness Coach for the Mexican Men’s National Team in 2009, working with renowned coach Sven-Goran Eriksson. During 2007 and 2008, Manoel held a position with Athletes’ Performance in the Home Depot Center in Los Angeles, where he worked with professional athletes from a variety of sports, including NFL, NHL, MLB and MLS (Chivas USA and LA Galaxy). Previously, he had assisted with strength and conditioning for D.C. United from the MLS, while concurrently holding the position of Sports Performance Director with Velocity Sports Performance in Alexandria, Virginia. Manoel holds a Master’s degree in Exercise Physiology from George Washington University, where he was also responsible for the strength and conditioning needs of the Colonials Men’s Varsity Soccer Team. He also holds a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from the University of Maryland - College Park and is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association. Manoel was born in Brazil and is fluent in both Portuguese and Spanish.
