#SKCvSJ: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting KC returns home this weekend to take on the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday, Aug. 17 at Children’s Mercy Park following a quick turnaround from Wednesday’s loss in Orlando. Sporting saw a six-game unbeaten streak against the Earthquakes snapped in the earlier meeting this season, and the side has now gone 5-1-1 since late 2016 against San Jose. All-time, Sporting is 26-25-8 against San Jose, and 20-8-1 at home. The last time San Jose visited Children’s Mercy Park, Sporting KC claimed a nervy 3-2 victory on March 17, 2018 behind goals from Ilie Sanchez, his first for the club, Graham Zusi and Felipe Gutierrez. In the earlier meeting this season, San Jose cruised to a 4-1 victory at Avaya Stadium on April 20, 2019. Danny Hoesen scored twice in the first half before Krisztian Nemeth missed a penalty. In the second period, Shea Salinas and Magnus Eriksson made it 4-0 to the hosts before Felipe Gutierrez pulled one back from the spot. #SKCvSJ: Recent Meetings (SKC leads 26-25-8 in regular season) Date

Sporting KC Game Notes | August 17, 2019 vs. San Jose Earthquakes | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes HOMESTAND UPCOMING

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

SINOVIC REACHES 200-CLUB MILESTONE

Following their 1-0 defeat on the road to Orlando City SC on Wednesday night at Exploria Stadium, Sporting Kansas City will now close out the month of August with home games against the San Jose Earthquakes (Aug. 17), Minnesota United FC (Aug. 22) and the Houston Dynamo (Aug. 31). Sporting are next on the road when the side heads to Providence Park to take on the Portland Timbers on Sept. 7.

Ten-year MLS veteran Seth Sinovic, a Kansas City native now in his ninth season with his hometown team Sporting Kansas City, logged his 200th MLS regular season start for Sporting on Wednesday night as his side fell to a 1-0 defeat against Orlando City SC at Exploria Stadium. In doing so, Sinovic becomes the eighth Sporting Kansas City player to start 200 regular season matches for the club and the fourth on the current roster, joining fellow Kansas Citian Matt Besler (269), Graham Zusi (230) and Roger Espinoza (209). With his start, he overtook Sporting legend Preki for eighth in all-time starts in the regular season, having previously sat in a tie on 199.

This upcoming stretch of home games gives Sporting an opportunity to make a late climb the Western Conference, as the side currently sits nine points out of the crucial seventh and final playoff spot in the West, currently held by the Portland Timbers. Sporting has 27 points up for grabs in their final nine games of the regular season. Sporting has struggled to maintain momentum throughout the season after a positive start when the side advanced to the Concacaf Champions League Semifinals before bowing out to eventual champions C.F. Monterrey. After winning back-to-back games in July against Chicago and Vancouver, the side then slipped to a home defeat to FC Dallas on July 20 to halt any progress up the table. Then, earlier this month, Sporting produced an impressive performance to defeat the Seattle Sounders on the road before again failing to capitalize with a home loss to Real Salt Lake last weekend.

In addition, Roger Espinoza’s 90-minute outing against Orlando also prompted a shuffle among Sporting’s all-time appearance leaders. The Honduran has now donned the Kansas City uniform 273 times across all competitions, moving into a tie for fourth place all-time alongside Nick Garcia and Davy Arnaud. Johnny Russell also made his 50th regular-season appearance with his start on Wednesday.

LUIS MARTINS MAKES SKC DEBUT

Freshly minted Sporting Kansas City left back Luis Martins made his debut for the club in Wednesday night’s 1-0 loss to Orlando City SC at Exploria Stadium, replacing Seth Sinovic in the 71st minute and playing the final 19 minutes of the game. Martins joined Sporting on Aug. 1 and showed glimpses of his attacking prowess during his brief cameo, while he was also shown a yellow card.

Time is at a premium for Sporting KC as it heads into the final stretch of the season, starting on Saturday when the side hosts the San Jose Earthquakes, a side Sporting has gone 26-25-8 against all-time, including a 20-8-1 mark at home.

QUAKES COME TO KC

Sporting Kansas City returns home to open up a three-game homestand this weekend when the San Jose Earthquakes visit Children’s Mercy Park for the second and final meeting between the two sides this regular season.

Born and raised in Lamego, Portugal, Martins developed as a youth player in the S.L. Benfica Academy and earned his first-team debut with a start in the UEFA Champions League group stage on Nov. 2, 2011, before spending most of 2012 with Benfica B in the Portuguese second division. Martins transferred to first-division club Gil Vicente in 2013 and amassed 40 Primeira Liga appearances over the next two years.

In the earlier contest this year, on April 20 at Avaya Stadium, the Earthquakes stunned Sporting with a commanding 4-1 victory. Danny Hoesen scored twice in the first half before Krisztian Nemeth missed a penalty before the halftime break. After the interval, Shea Salinas and Magnus Eriksson extended the San Jose lead before Felipe Gutierrez pulled a goal back from the spot. At the time, San Jose was 1-5-0, but have gone 10-3-5 since.

In September 2014, Martins signed with Granada CF in La Liga. His debut for the club came that month when he featured against eventual UEFA Champions League winners FC Barcelona in the renowned Camp Nou. While with Granada, Martins was loaned to fellow Spanish side Osasuna in 2015-16 and to Portuguese outfit C.S. Maritimo from 2016-2018. Martins spent the 2018-19 campaign with G.D. Chaves in the Portuguese top flight, where he played 20 matches in all competitions and scored one goal.

San Jose last visited Children’s Mercy Park early last year, on March 17, 2018. Sporting squeezed out a 3-2 victory behind goals from Ilie Sanchez, Graham Zusi and Felipe Gutierrez, while Vako and Chris Wondolowski tallied for the visiting ‘Quakes.

As a youth, Martins competed for the Portugal U-16s, U-17s and U-18s from 2008-2009. He then featured at the 2010 UEFA Under-19 Championship before competingat the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Colombia. He also started four qualifying matches for the 2015 UEFA Under-21 Championship.

Sporting holds a slender 26-25-8 lead in the all-time series against the Earthquakes. Sporting has gone 20-8-1 during games held in Kansas City, while Peter Vermes’ men have posted a 5-1-1 record against San Jose since late in the 2016 campaign previously a six-game unbeaten streak that was snapped earlier this year.

RUSSELL NETS FROM DISTANCE ONCE AGAIN

In an otherwise frustrating night at Children’s Mercy Park last Saturday, Johnny Russell treated Sporting Kansas City fans to a special moment in the 31st minute of the 2-1 home defeat to Real Salt Lake.

MEDRANDA EARNS FIRST MLS START SINCE MAY 2018

Sporting Kansas City utlity man Jimmy Medranda earned his first MLS start of the season during Wednesday night’s 1-0 loss to Orlando City SC at Exploria Stadium. Medranda started as the center forward for the first time in his Sporting career, logging the first 45 minutes before being replaced by Erik Hurtado at halftime.

Seconds after Felipe Gutierrez had drawn a foul just outside the penalty area, Russell stepped up and unleashed a thunderous free kick that beat RSL’s four-man wall and left goalkeeper Nick Rimando no chance.

Medranda was a pest for the Orlando backline with his high-press and energetic attacking movements, testing goalkeeper Brian Rowe with a stinging drive early on. Medranda has battled injuries for the better part of the last 18 months, undergoing surgery to repair a knee issue last August before returning to the field in late May 2019. The 25-year-old has made five appearances on the season, with the only other start coming in the U.S. Open Cup defeat to Minnesota on June 12.

With his latest stunner from beyond the penalty area, Russell now leads MLS with four goals from outside the box in 2019. He is also one of just two players, alongside D.C. United’s Wayne Rooney, to score twice from direct free kicks this season. Saturday’s goal from Russell was also Sporting’s 250th regular-season goal in Children’s Mercy Park history.

Medranda, who last started on the frontline on Oct. 15, 2017, has now made 102 appearances in all competitions for Sporting Kansas City, tallying five goals and seven assists since joining the club in 2013.

GUTIERREZ ENJOYING STELLAR SEASON

Sporting Kansas City midfielder Felipe Gutierrez has enjoyed a stellar 2019 campaign, registering 10 goals and two assists from central midfield. While Gutierrez missed a penalty in last Saturday’s 2-1 loss to Real Salt Lake, he recently had two goals in a thrilling 3-2 victory over Seattle Sounders FC at CenturyLink Field on Aug. 4. Gutierrez scored his first in the 12th minute with an expertly-taken low strike from a tight angle, before doubling Sporting’s lead from the penalty spot in the 33rd minute.

VERMES REACHES FIRST GAME ANNIVERSARY

On Aug. 4, 2009 the then Kansas City Wizards appointed technical director Vermes as interim head coach, before taking charge of his first game on Aug. 16, 2009 - a 2-0 loss to the Chicago Fire at CommunityAmerica Ballpark. A decade after taking the reigns, Vermes can claim the title as MLS’s longest tenured manager at one club and one of the winningest head coaches all-time. His accomplishments in KC have also come with the same two assistant coaches at his side: Kerry Zavagnin and Zoran Savic began their current roles in 2009.

Gutierrez took his team-leading MLS goal haul to 10 on the year and became just the fourth midfielder in club history to record 10 or more goals in a single regular season. He follows in the footsteps of the legendary Preki - who had four double-digit scoring seasons in Kansas City - plus Mark Chung and current teammate Benny Feilhaber, who notched 10 each in 1997 and 2015, respectively.

Now in his 11th season as manager, Vermes’ current tenure with Sporting is the longest uninterrupted head coaching spell in MLS history. His 140 regular-season wins are the fifth-most all-time, ranking third among active coaches. Vermes has won four major trophies at the helm: 2013 MLS Cup and U.S. Open Cup titles in 2012, 2015 and 2017.

Gutierrez, who has now converted five of his six penalty attempts in 2019, will look to add to his goal haul when Sporting hosts the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday evening.

SPORTING ACQUIRES ASSETS IN EXCHANGE FOR ROWE

2026 WORLD CUP HEADING TO NORTH AMERICA

Sporting will retain $171,856 of Rowe’s 2019 budget charge, while Real Salt Lake will be responsible for the remaining $100,000 of his budget charge in the 2019 season. Rowe is set to become a free agent at the conclusion of the 2019 MLS campaign.

The vote, which occurred a day before the start of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, also marks the first time three nations have been selected to co-host a FIFA World Cup and the first time the FIFA World Cup will be played in North America in 32 years. The United Bid offers FIFA and its 211 Member Associations unity, certainty, and opportunity as they prepare to host the largest FIFA World Cup in history.

Sporting Kansas City announced last Wednesday that the club has traded midfielder Kelyn Rowe to Real Salt Lake in exchange for $75,000 in Targeted Allocation Money and a 2019 international roster spot. The MLS secondary transfer window closed at 7 p.m. CT on Wednesday night, with the roster freeze set to take place on Aug. 30.

The United Bid of Canada, Mexico, and the United States was selected to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Wednesday, June 13, 2018 by the 68th FIFA Congress in Moscow. Kansas City is one of 23 Candidate Host Cities in the United Bid.

Rowe, 27, joined Sporting ahead of the 2019 campaign after spending seven seasons with the New England Revolution. He started eight of 19 appearances this season in all competitions, recording two assists prior to his departure to Real Salt Lake on Wednesday.

With the FIFA Congress decision to award the 2026 FIFA World Cup, to the federations of Canada, Mexico, and the United States, the three nations will jointly manage preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup until FIFA establishes their operations to manage the competition. Among other decisions, FIFA will make the final selection of host cities for the 2026 competition from the 23 candidates proposed in the United Bid.

VERMES IN MIDST OF 11th SEASON

Entering his 11th season at the helm of Sporting KC, manager Peter Vermes looks to win more hardware and guide his side to yet another postseason appearance in 2019. Despite elimination from the Concacaf Champions League and the U.S. Open Cup, Sporting KC will still aim to win the MLS Cup.

Each of the United Bid’s 23 proposed stadiums are fully built, occupied and operational, ensuring long-term use following the 2026 World Cup. The United Bid has 150 existing world-class training facilities, millions of hotel rooms, and advanced infrastructure. The United Bid is expected to generate more than $14 billion in revenue and $11 billion in profits for FIFA, which will be shared with the 211 FIFA Member Associations, helping further develop and expand the game of football across the globe.

Vermes is the longest tenured coach that is currently in charge of a team in MLS, having led Sporting KC since 2009 - one year longer than Ben Olsen has been at the helm at D.C. United. Vermes became the longest tenured coach in MLS when then LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena took the U.S. National Team job in late 2016.

PLAYOFF STREAK REACHES EIGHT SEASONS

In 2018, Sporting KC continued its impressive streak of postseason appearances, becoming just the sixth club in MLS history to make at least eight straight trips to the MLS Cup Playoffs, while Manager Peter Vermes is now just the third coach to lead the same team to eight straight playoff appearances.

With almost 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 fifth longest active run.

LONGEST MLS PLAYOFF STREAKS Club Seasons LA Galaxy 10 (1996-2005) Seattle Sounders FC 10 (2009-2018) *active New York Red Bulls 9 (2010-2018) *active Sporting KC 8 (2011-2018) *active LA Galaxy 8 (2009-2016) NE Revolution 8 (2002-2009) Real Salt Lake 7 (2008-2014)

Vermes has guided Sporting KC to four titles under his watch, winning three Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups in 2012, 2015 and 2017, and the MLS Cup in 2013. His trophy haul ranks as the second highest among active MLS coaches - only trailing Toronto FC’s Greg Vanney’s five championships. On a local level, Vermes’ 11 years with SKC is the second longest tenure by a head coach in the history of major KC professional sports behind Super Bowl champion and Pro Football Hall of Famer Hank Stram, who was Chiefs head coach from 1963-1974.

Vermes has compiled a 175-131-101 record in all competitions with Sporting KC, including a remarkable 20-7-3 mark in U.S. Open Cup contests. Vermes’ 140 wins in MLS regular-season action ranks fifth all-time and second among active coaches in MLS, trailing Los Angeles FC’s Bob Bradley.

RECORD-SETTING 2018

Sporting Kansas City enjoyed a historic 2018 season that saw the club set new records in multiple attacking categories. Most notably, the club shattered the franchise’s all-time goalscoring record by tallying 65 goals in 34 games, eclipsing the 61 goals the then Kansas City Wizards tallied in their inaugural season in 1996.

VERMES VERBATIM

See below for comments from Sporting KC Manager and Sporting Director Peter Vermes following the 1-0 loss to Orlando City SC at Exploria Stadium on Aug. 14.

As well as their overall goalscoring exploits, Sporting Kansas City also set new club records in five other offensive categories: Road Goals (31), Goal Difference (+25), Assists (69), Shots (583) and Corner Kicks (206).

Thoughts on the match: “We created a couple of good chances, we didn’t put them away. Outside of the goal they scored, they really didn’t have much of the game. We had two very, very good chances - one right on the doorstep, unfortunately we don’t put it in and we leave with nothing.”

Peter Vermes’ side also found multiple goals in 25 of the club’s 40 matches in all competitions last season and was only shutout seven times. Sporting KC finished the regular season as the fourth highest scoring team in MLS with 65 goals, while the side scored 79 goals when including the MLS Cup Playoffs and U.S. Open Cup play.

On looking ahead to Western Conference clash with San Jose: “We’ve got to take care of business against every team.”

Sporting had 16 different goalscorers last year in MLS play - which was tied for the second highest number of goalscorers across a single squad this season. In 2018, SKC found goals from Daniel Salloi (14), Johnny Russell (10), Diego Rubio (10), Felipe Gutierrez (7), Gerso Fernandes (6), Ilie Sanchez (5), Ike Opara (3), Yohan Croizet (3), Roger Espinoza (3), Khiry Shelton (2), Graham Zusi (2), Jimmy Medranda (2), Cristian Lobato (2), Wan Kuzain Wan Kamal (1), Krisztian Nemeth (1) and Gianluca Busio (1). The 6-0 triumph over Vancouver Whitecaps FC on April 20, 2018 tied club records for largest margin of victory and most goals scored in a competitive match. Sporting KC finished the year with 65 goals in 34 regular-season matches, having scored 40 in all of 2017. The last time Sporting KC hit six goals in an MLS match was on June 20, 1999.
