Sporting KC Game Notes | August 18, 2018 vs. Portland Timbers | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #SKCvPOR: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#SKCvPOR: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City returns home after a two-game road swing this weekend when the side hosts the Portland Timbers at Children’s Mercy Park on Saturday night. The two sides met once earlier this season, with Sporting snatching a point in a tightly-contested 0-0 draw at Providence Park on June 9. Daniel Salloi came closest for Sporting KC on the day when his volleyed attempt from a tight angle in the first half rattled the Timbers crossbar.

Sporting KC is 6-3-4 all-time against the Timbers in the regular season, and have lost just one of their last nine matches against the Oregon-based side. In 2017, Sporting KC took the season series 1-0-1 - with the win coming on the road. Dom Dwyer’s header from Jimmy Medranda’s cross early in the second half proved to be the difference the last time SKC visited Providence Park, with Peter Vermes’ men returning to Kansas City with a 1-0 victory.

Portland looked to hit back in the next match at Children’s Mercy Park on July 1, 2017, and took the lead in that match through Diego Valeri’s rasping strike in the first half. Early in the second period, Daniel Salloi took down Roger Espinoza’s chipped pass and converted high into the net for his first MLS goal. Tim Melia was called upon to save his side late on as he stonewalled Valeri’s penalty kick as the two sides shared the points in a 1-1 draw.

The two teams appear to be going in opposite directions at the moment, as Sporting KC recently halted a five-game winless run with back-to-back wins on the road, while Portland was flying with a 15-game unbeaten streak before suffering consecutive defeats in their last two matches.

Sporting KC Game Notes | August 18, 2018 vs. Portland Timbers | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes BACK IN FORM

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

MELIA GOES BACK-TO-BACK

Sporting Kansas City continued their good form this last weekend when the side defeated Los Angeles FC at Banc of California Stadium to clinch their second consecutive victory, coming on the back of a five-game winless skid in MLS action. The current streak marks the first time Sporting KC has posted back-to-back victories in MLS play since early May, when the club beat the Colorado Rapids at home on May 5 before defeating Atlanta United FC on the road on May 9.

Sporting Kansas City goalkeeper Tim Melia continued his excellent form with his second consecutive clean sheet in the 2-0 victory over Los Angeles FC at Banc of California Stadium on Saturday night. It’s Melia’s ninth shutout of the season - tied for first in MLS with New York City FC’s Sean Johnson - and just one shy of his career-high from 2017, when he was named MLS Goalkeeper of the Year.

After conceding multiple goals in eight straight games in all competitions from mid June to late July, where the side went 2-5-1, Melia and Sporting KC have steadied the ship and kept one of the highest scoring teams at bay on Saturday night in LAFC.

Sporting KC has not posted consecutive victories on the road since the middle of the 2014 campaign, when the side picked up three points in trips to Montreal and Columbus on July 12 and 16, respectively, as part of a four-game winning streak that lasted from July 12-26. You only have to go a month further back for the last time Sporting KC had consecutive shutout wins on the road, as SKC picked up 2-0 and 1-0 wins over the Houston Dynamo and the Portland Timbers on June 6 and June 27, respectively, either side of the 2014 FIFA World Cup break.

In fact, Sporting KC has now claimed shutout wins on the road at three of the top four scoring teams in MLS this season: W 2-0 at LA Galaxy on April 8, W 2-0 at Atlanta United FC on May 9 and W 2-0 at LAFC on Aug. 11. Of the top four scoring teams, only the New York Red Bulls have managed to score and win against SKC in their home stadium this season.

The recent five-game winless skid was the longest Sporting KC has had since the tail end of the 2017 season to the start of the 2018 campaign, when the club went seven games without a win - including a MLS Cup Playoffs Knockout Round defeat at the Houston Dynamo - starting with a 1-0 defeat at home against Vancouver on September 30, 2017 and only coming to an end with Sporting claimed a thrilling 4-3 victory over the Chicago Fire at Toyota Park on March 10, 2018.

NEMO RE-DEBUTS

Sporting Kansas City striker Kirsztian Nemeth made a victorious return to the team this weekend, when he repalced Diego Rubio in the 76th minute and played the final 14 minutes of the 2-0 victory over Los Angeles FC at Banc of California Stadium on Saturday night.

With six points taken from their lsat six available, Sporting KC remains firmly in the playoff hunt in the MLS Western Conference with 39 points - two ahead of Saturday’s opponents Portland for second in the Conference. Sporting also has the best goal difference in the Western Conference with +12, and has scored the third most goals in the West with 42 - only trailing the LA Galaxy’s 48 and LAFC’s 47.

Nemeth, 29, returned to Sporting KC last Monday, August 6 following a trade with the New England Revolution that saw cash and a 2020 MLS SuperDraft pick head up to Massachusetts. He had spent the 2015 season with Sporting KC, recording 16 goals and seven assists in 33 competitive matches for the club. The forward joined Al-Gharafa SC in Qatar in 2016 and has spent the last 12 months in MLS with New England.

TIMBEERRRRRR

Nemeth became the 10th player to enjoy two separate spells with Sporting KC, joining current teammate Roger Espinoza and eight others in accomplishing that feat. Espinoza played for Sporting KC from 2008-2012 before joining Wigan Athletic, then in the English Premier League, before returning to Kansas City ahead of the 2015 MLS season.

Sporting Kansas City is set to face off against the Portland Timbers for the second and final time in the MLS regular season on Saturday night at Children’s Mercy Park. In the one earlier meeting this season, Sporting KC grabbed a point from Providence Park following a 0-0 draw, with Daniel Salloi’s strike that caromed off the crossbar the closest either side came.

In his first stint with Sporting KC, Nemeth was named the club’s Newcomer of the Year and became Kansas City’s first MLS Goal of the Year winner for his stunning solo effort in a 1-0 victory over the Portland Timbers on Oct. 3, 2015. The Hungarian earned MLS Player of the Month honors in May and also played a pivotal role in Sporting KC’s run to the 2015 U.S. Open Cup title, finishing as the tournament’s joint-top scorer with five goals.

Sporting KC holds a 6-3-4 lead over the Portland Timbers in the all-time series since the Oregonians joined MLS as an expansion side in 2011. That record includes a 2-1-2 mark at Children’s Mercy Park, where Sporting last beat Portland on July 31, 2016 in a 1-0 win behind Jacob Peterson’s second-half goal.

ANOTHER STADIUM RECORD BITES THE DUST

The last time the two sides clashed at Children’s Mercy Park was on July 1, 2017. In that match, eventual MLS MVP, Diego Valeri, scored a scorcher from distance to open the scoring in the first half, before Daniel Salloi stroked home his first-ever MLS goal for Sporting KC in the second half after taking down Roger Espinoza’s sumptuous chipped pass over the Timbers backline. Tim Melia would end up stealing the headlines as he denied Valeri a late winner from the penalty spot.

Sporting Kansas City continued a remarkable trend in the club’s history during Saturday night’s 2-0 victory over Los Angeles FC - the first loss the expansion side has suffered at state-of-the-art Banc of California Stadium, just south of downtown LA. Bob Bradley’s side became the sixth victims of Sporting KC’s trend of inflicting first-ever defeats for MLS teams in their new stadiums.

The biggest match Sporting KC has played against Portland ended in heartbreak. In the 2015 MLS Cup Playoffs Knockout Round, Sporting and Portland headed to penalty kicks following a 2-2 draw after extra time at Providence Park. The shootout would last 11 rounds, with the goalkeepers eventually called upon to take penalty kicks. Sporting KC’s Homegrown gloveman, Jon Kempin - who was only on the field following an injury to Tim Melia - saw his final spot kick saved as the Timbers advanced 7-6.

RESULT L 1-0 vs. SKC L 1-0 vs. SKC L 2-0 vs. SKC L 1-0 vs. SKC L 1-0 vs. SKC L 2-0 vs. SKC

Sporting Kansas City defenders Matt Besler and Graham Zusi continue to walk in unison toward each longevity record in club history. Another such milestone was reached during Saturday’s 2-0 victory over Los Angeles FC at Banc of California Stadium, as Besler and Zusi now sit at one and two in the club’s all-time appearance charts in MLS regularseason play.

No other team in the league has more than two such victories. Sporting KC also inflicted first ever defeats for the San Jose Earthquakes in Spartan Stadium in 1996, and the Dynamo at Robertson Stadium in 2006 - though both were those club’s original stadiums when they entered MLS.

Besler leads the way with 246 appearances, having overtaken current assistant coach Kerry Zavagnin and club legend Davy Arnaud earlier this season to take the all-time leader title. However, Zusi has quietly worked his way up the standings and, on Saturday night, he overtook Arnaud for second with his 241st appearance for the club in the regular season.

On Wednesday morning, Sporting Kansas City announced that defender Jimmy Medranda will miss the remainder of the 2018 season and the start of the 2019 campaign due to a knee injury.

MEDRANDA OUT FOR THE SEASON

Medranda had exploratory surgery last Friday, August 10 in LA revealing a cartilage defect in his left knee. He will undergo further surgery to repair the injury and is expected to be sidelined for eight months.

In addition, Besler started his 282nd match for the club in all competitions, passing current assistant coach Kerry Zavagnin for the most in team history, while he’s now just two away from passing Zavagnin’s final record of 291 appearances in all competitions, as Besler currently sits on 290.

Medranda, 24, appeared in each of Sporting KC’s first 12 MLS matches this season, making eight starts with two goals and one assist. He opened his 2018 scoring account in a 4-3 win over the Chicago Fire on March 10 and bagged an MLS Goal of the Week nominee in a 6-0 triumph over Vancouver Whitecaps FC on April 20. Five days earlier, he assisted Graham Zusi’s late equalizer in a 2-2 draw with Seattle Sounders FC. A member of Sporting KC since 2013, Medranda has tallied five goals and six assists in 97 games for the club across all competitions.

Besler and Zusi will each be honored for their achievements in a brief ceremony following warmups during Saturday’s match against the Portland Timbers, as they’ll be joined on the field by Sporting KC ownership.

Sporting KC Game Notes | August 18, 2018 vs. Portland Timbers | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes GOALS GALORE

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES 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.

Sporting Kansas City has had few issues scoring goals so far in the 2018 season. Peter Vermes’ side has found multiple goals in 18 of the club’s 26 matches in all competitions this season and has only been shutout five times. Sporting KC is the sixth highest scoring team in MLS so far in 2018 with 42 goals, while the side has scored 49 goals when including U.S. Open Cup play.

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.

Sporting KC has 14 different goalscorers so far this year in MLS play - which is the most number of different goalscorers across a single squad in the league this season.

So far this season, Sporting KC has found goals from Johnny Russell (7), Daniel Salloi (7), Felipe Gutierrez (5), Diego Rubio (4), Ilie Sanchez (4), Gerso Fernandes (3), Khiry Shelton (2), Graham Zusi (2), Jimmy Medranda (2), Cristian Lobato (2), Yohan Croizet (1), Wan Kuzain Wan Kamal (1), Ike Opara (1) and Roger Espinoza (1).

INTERNATIONAL TOURNAMENTS RETURN TO CMP

On Wednesday, May 16, it was announced that Children’s Mercy Park will host international tournaments over the next two summers. On July 26, the U.S. Women’s National Team returned to Kansas City to beat Japan 4-2 in the Tournament of Nations, with Australia also topping Brazil 3-1 as part of a doubleheader. Then, next summer, the CONCACAF Gold Cup comes back to KC for the first time since 2015 for a doubleheader in 2019. The teams and schedules for that tournament will be announced at a later date.

The 6-0 triumph over Vancouver Whitecaps FC on April 20 tied club records for largest margin of victory and most goals scored in a competitive match. Sporting KC has 42 goals through 23 regular-season matches this year, having scored 40 in all of 2017. The last time Sporting KC hit six goals in an MLS match was on June 20, 1999.

The U.S. WNT has now played in Kansas City eight times since its inaugural visit in 1999. Children’s Mercy Park played host to its fourth U.S WNT contest, having also welcomed crowds for a 1-1 friendly draw against Canada in 2011, a 1-0 win over Trinidad and Tobago in the 2014 CONCACAF Women’s Championship, and a 4-0 friendly victory over Costa Rica in 2016.

Sporting KC found it difficult to score on the road last season, only scoring 10 times in the club’s 17 away games in 2017 and only winning twice on the road. In 12 road games this year, Sporting KC has already surpassed last year’s total in goals with 18 and has already recorded five road wins over the Chicago Fire (March 10), the LA Galaxy (April 8), Atlanta United FC (May 9), the Houston Dynamo (Aug. 4) and Los Angeles FC (Aug. 11). Sporting also only scored multiple goals on the road two times in 2017 but has done so in seven of the club’s 12 away games so far in 2018.

The world-class home of Sporting Kansas City is one of 15 venues across 13 U.S. cities that will welcome the 2019 edition of the expanded CONCACAF Gold Cup, which will feature a record 16 nations next summer from June 14-July 7. The biennial tournament is the premier international competition of the North, Central American and Caribbean region, helping determine Concacaf’s representative at the 2021 FIFA Confederations Cup.

VERMES ERA CONTINUES

Now in the midst of his 10th season at the helm of Sporting Kansas City, manager Peter Vermes is looking to guide his side to yet another postseason appearance and remain firmly in the hunt for silverware in 2018. With the 1-0 win over the Houston Dynamo on August 4, 2018, Vermes coached his 302nd regular-season match - becoming the alltime leader in games coached with one club in league history.

LOOKING TO EXTEND PLAYOFF STREAK

Sporting KC is looking to continue it’s impressive streak of postseason appearances after becoming just the sixth club in MLS history to make at least seven straight trips to the MLS Cup Playoffs, while Manager Peter Vermes is now just the fourth coach to lead the same team to seven straight playoff appearances.

Vermes is the longest tenured coach that is currently coaching a team in Major League Soccer, having been in charge of Sporting KC since 2009 - one year longer than Ben Olsen has been running the show at D.C. United. Vermes became the longest tenured coach in MLS when former LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena took the U.S. National Team coaching gig in November 2016.

LONGEST MLS PLAYOFF STREAKS Club Seasons LA Galaxy 10 (1996-2005) Seattle Sounders FC 9 (2009-2017) *active LA Galaxy 8 (2009-2016) New York Red Bulls 8 (2010-2017) *active NE Revolution 8 (2002-2009) Real Salt Lake 7 (2008-2014) Sporting KC 7 (2011-2017) *active

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 the legendary Sigi Schmid, who is currently at the helm of the LA Galaxy.

On a local level, Vermes’ 10 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 157-113-90 record in all competitions with Sporting KC, including a remarkable 20-6-3 mark in U.S. Open Cup contests. Vermes’ 126 wins in MLS regular-season action ranks third among active coaches in MLS, trailing the Galaxy’s Schmid and Los Angeles FC’s Bob Bradley.

2026 WORLD CUP HEADING TO NORTH AMERICA

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

VERMES VERBATIM

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, which will be expanded to a 48-team format.

On the result: “This league is really tough and at the end of the day you just want to get your points wherever you can get them. We knew this was going to be a tough match, they’ve performed very well here at home. It’s a great environment, beautiful stadium and it was a pleasure for us to be able to come in here and play. They’re a very good team and I think the organization has done a great job, but at the end of the day, we’re neck and neck right now and it was important for us to get some points here. The fact that we got three points, those are big points for us.”

See below for postgame reaction from Sporting KC Manager Peter Vermes following the 2-0 victory over Los Angeles FC at Banc of California Stadium on August 11, 2018.

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.

On his side’s defensive performance: “I think we were really good [defensively]. Sometimes when you think about defense, you think about the guys in front of the goal, but I really think our front five or six guys really pressed the game when they needed to, and that’s where I think we were really, really good. I think it was one of our best performances of the year.”

Sporting KC Game Notes | August 18, 2018 vs. Portland Timbers | 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 is entering his 10th season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2018 and is the longest-tenured active head coach in MLS. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 157 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 regular-season standings in 2011 and 2012. He is the first coach in club history to lead Sporting KC to seven 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 126 regular-season wins top the club’s all-time chart and rank sixth 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 has coached 360 total games during his Kansas City coaching career, most in club history. 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 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 the 2018 campaign. 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.

Vermes oversees all soccer operations for Sporting KC, including the active roster, the Swope Park Rangers (USL) 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.

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.

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.

Assistant Coach | Zoran Savic

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 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 209 MLS matches (including playoffs) and playing more than 18,000 minutes. In 2013, Vermes was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame.

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.

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.

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, 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.

LAST MATCH RECAP Playing their first of two matches in a four-day span this week, the Portland Timbers fell 4-1 to D.C. United before 18,219 fans at Audi Field on Aug. 15, snapping the team’s five-game unbeaten run away from home in league play, dating back to May 5. Forward Samuel Armenteros scored the team’s lone goal in the match.

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 eight MLS seasons.

Spanning the 2013 and 2014 seasons, the Timbers compiled an MLS-club record 22-game nbeaten 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 GIOVANNI SAVARESE Entering his first season with the club after being named head coach on Dec. 18, 2017, Savarese, the third head coach in Portland’s MLS history, brings over 25 years of professional experience as a player and coach to the Timbers organization.

A native of Caracas, Venezuela, Savarese joined the Timbers after spending the past five seasons as the head coach and sporting director of the New York Cosmos, where he developed one of the most successful clubs in the NASL, compiling a 6526-44 record in 135 regular-season games, including a career-best 20-7-5 record in 2016 and an undefeated NASL Spring Season in 2015. Additionally, the Cosmos scored 223 goals during Savarese’s five seasons at the helm, which rank as the most in the NASL during that stretch.

Savarese also led the Cosmos to four Soccer Bowl appearances, claiming the 2013, 2015 and 2016 championships. Most recently, after a 10-7-15 record in the 2017 regular season, Savarese guided the Cosmos to their third straight appearance in the NASL championship match, narrowly falling 2-0 to the San Francisco Deltas.

Prior to joining the Cosmos organization, Savarese, who holds a USSF “A” license, served as the head of youth development for the New York MetroStars/Red Bulls from 2005-2007, before joining the Cosmos as the club’s academy director in 2010, with a focus on developing youth talent in the greater New York area. Savarese served as the Cosmos academy director for two years before being announced as the head coach of the first Cosmos team in 28 years on November 19, 2012.

Savarese enjoyed an 18-year professional playing career, including five seasons in Major League Soccer, scoring 159 goals in 322 games played in various leagues in the United States, Venezuela, Italy and England. At the international level, Savarese earned 30 caps for the Venezuela National Team from 1989-2001, scoring 10 goals, including a notable finish against South American rival Argentina in 1996.

After beginning his professional career in Venezuela with Deportivo Italia in 1986, Savarese spent five seasons (1990-95) playing in the Cosmopolitan Soccer League and the USISL before being drafted by the MetroStars in the inaugural MLS SuperDraft in 1996 as the ninth overall selection, notching a teamrecord 41 goals and 94 points in 85 regular-season appearances during three seasons with the club.

The striker’s record stood until 2009 when it was surpassed by Juan Pablo Angel.

Following his three seasons with the MetroStars, Savarese spent the 1999 MLS campaign with the New England Revolution, scoring 10 goals in 27 appearances. Shortly afterward, Savarese joined Italian Serie A club A.C. Perugia and was loaned to A.S. Viterbese in 2000, before returning stateside to join the San Jose Earthquakes in the 2000 MLS season. After a brief stint with the Earthquakes, Savarese joined Swansea City where he scored 14 goals across all competitions, prior to signing with Millwall F.C. in 2001. Following short spells with Venezuelan club Deportivo Italchacao and Italian club Sassari Torres, Savarese’s playing career concluded in 2004 after scoring five goals in 10 appearances with the Long Island Rough Riders.

In the collegiate ranks, Savarese enjoyed a four-year (1990-93) playing career with Long Island University after moving to the United States from Venezuela in 1990. Savarese has also served as a member of the media, working as an analyst for ESPN International and ESPN Deportes.

Giovanni and his wife, Michelle, have two daughters, Valentina and Alessandra.

PORTLAND TIMBERS AT SPORTING KANSAS CITY SATURDAY, AUG. 18, 2018 PREVIOUS MATCH - PORTLAND TIMBERS VS D.C. UNITED (L 1-4) MATCH RECAP Playing their first of two matches in a four-day span this week, the Portland Timbers fell 4-1 to D.C. United before 18,219 fans at Audi Field on Wednesday night, snapping the team’s five-game unbeaten run away from home in league play, dating back to May 5. Forward Samuel Armenteros scored the team’s lone goal in the match, tallying his eighth goal of the season, while midfielders Sebastián Blanco and Andy Polo each contributed an assist.

Timbers firsts Midfielder Tomás Conechny made his MLS debut in Wednesday’s match. Originally signed by the Timbers (10-5-7, 37pts) on July 17, 2018, the 20-year-old midfielder entered the match in the 73rd minute, playing the final 17 minutes against D.C. United (6-9-6, 24pts).

Goals-against average Despite the result, the Timbers still maintain one of the strongest goals-against-average in the league since recording their first regular-season win on April 14, conceding just 19 goals during that stretch, which ranks as the second-fewest in MLS. Additionally, Wednesday’s match marked just the second time this season the Timbers have been defeated by more than one goal.

Key plays The Timbers opened the scoring with 10 minutes left in the first half when Armenteros scored his eighth goal of the season. The striker was able to find the back of the net in the 35th minute after a clever build-up play on the left side of the box between Blanco and Polo created space for Polo to drive a well-weighted cross through the center of the box for Armenteros, who hit a first-time effort into the back of the net.

With two minutes remaining in the first half, D.C. United leveled the score when midfielder Yamil Asad slipped a weighted pass in behind for forward Wayne Rooney, who slotted the ball away from inside the box.

D.C. United took the lead in the 47th minute when defender Oniel Fisher received a pass from midfielder Luciano Acosta, scoring from the far right side of the 18-yard box.

Portland threatened shortly after Fisher’s goal when Armenteros laid the ball off for Valeri, who struck a low, driven effort from just outside the box, pulling his shot just wide of the far post in the 64th minute.

The home side was able to find a third goal when Rooney converted a free kick from just outside the box in the 69th minute.

D.C. United scored the game’s final goal in stoppage time when forward Darren Mattocks was able to find the back of the net against the run of play.

NOTES • • • • • • •

Samuel Armenteros scored his eighth goal of the season, ranking second on the team in 2018.

Armenteros has a goals-per-90 minutes average of .79, which is the fourthhighest in MLS this season (min. 1,000 minutes played).

Sebastián Blanco notched his fifth assist of the season, which ranks second on the team.

Andy Polo notched the first assist of the season.

Polo is the ninth player to tally an assist for the Timbers this season and 54th player to record an MLS assist for the Timbers.

Tomás Conechny made his Timbers debut in the match. Conechny is the 25th different player to play in an MLS match for the Timbers this season.

Audi Field is the 27th different stadium to host the Timbers in an MLS match and 106th stadium to host the Timbers since 1975.

NOTABLE QUOTES Portland Timbers head coach Giovanni Savarese Overall thoughts on the match…

“It was a difficult match. I thought that we had a good first half. We started well. We did a lot of good things. We were compact. We created chances and were moving the ball the right way until we became too casual, and we allowed them to score the goal. In the second half, maybe the guys didn’t come in with the right mentality. At the end, it’s my responsibility, my fault, so I take full blame of this defeat and we have to continue to work. In the second half, they were better than us. They wanted it a little bit more than us and they deserved the victory.”

On the goals that the team conceded…

“Those are the moments that you cannot concede because then the game becomes very difficult and that is moment where you show your mentality. And, I thought that we gave up those two goals and then the game became very difficult. But, as I said before, it’s my responsibility and we have to continue to work.”

Portland Timbers forward Samuel Armenteros Thoughts on the match…

“Thoughts right now are obviously not that positive, it’s hard to feel good after a 4-1 defeat just after the game. Obviously we have to let this one sink in and learn from the wrongs, and there were many in this game. It’s time to be critical, it’s time to look at ourselves in the mirror and ask are we doing everything that can be done for us to take the three points instead of them. So obviously it’s a tough loss, but I’m happy it happens now rather than the week before the playoffs so we can adjust the problems that need to be adjusted before the actual time comes.”

Portland Timbers midfielder Diego Chara Thoughts on the match…

“It was a tough match. We tried to score but we made mistakes and obviously today it ended in a tough loss.”

PORTLAND TIMBERS AT SPORTING KANSAS CITY SATURDAY, AUG. 18, 2018 SCOUTING SPORTING KANSAS CITY

MILESTONE MARKER

Sporting Kansas City enters Saturday’s match after posting two straight wins in league play, snapping a six-game winless streak across all competitions, dating back to June 23. In the team’s most recent league match, Sporting KC defeated Los Angeles FC 2-0 at Banc of California Stadium on Saturday. Forward Johnny Russell and forward Daniel Salloi are tied for the most goals on the team, with seven goals each, while midfielder Roger Espinoza has the most assists (8).

Since making his debut for the Timbers as a 19-year-old in 2013, defender Alvas Powell has now played in 115 MLS matches for Portland. Against D.C. United on Aug. 15, Powell became the 15th player in Portland’s all-era history to play 115 league matches for the Timbers.

HEADS UP Through their first 22 games in league play, the Timbers are tied for the most headed goals (11) in MLS, with midfielder David Guzmán scoring the team’s most recent header in a 3-0 win over the Philadelphia Union on Aug. 4. Portland defender Larrys Mabiala has recorded four total goals in 2018, all headers, ranking fourth in the league for headed goals in 2018.

SCORING AWAY FROM HOME Since the start of the 2017 season, midfielder Diego Valeri ranks fourth in the league for goals scored (12) away from home, while Sebastián Blanco ranks tied for the eighth-most road goals scored (8) during that stretch. As a team, the Timbers have scored 37 goals on the road during that span, ranking tied as the fourth-most in the league.

AWAY FORM Dating back to the start of the 2014 MLS season, the Timbers are tied for the fourth-most away wins (21) in the league, recording seven away wins in 2014 and also in their 2015 championship-winning season. So far this season, the Timbers are tied for the fifth-most away wins (3).

CLOSING OUT GAMES Heading into Saturday’s game, the Portland Timbers have been effective at closing out games through their first 22 games of the 2018 MLS regular season campaign. The Timbers have held a lead at the 75th minute mark in nine games this seaosn, posting a solid 7-1-1 record in those matches.

TIMBERS FIRSTS

IRONMAN Portland defender Larrys Mabiala has played every single minute of 29 consecutive MLS matches for Portland (2,610 minutes), dating back to 2017. Only one field player in MLS has a longer active streak of consecutive minutes played (Sporting Kansas City’s Ilie Sanchez - 2,970 minutes). Additionally, with 22 appearances (22 starts) this season, Mabiala is the first Timbers defender to start a season with at least 20 straight starts in MLS play.

STRIKE RATE In just over 1,000 minutes of regular-season action in the 2018 MLS campaign, forward Samuel Armenteros has posted eight goals, ranking as the second-most on the team, in his debut MLS season. Armenteros is the fourth Timbers player to score eight or more goals in his first season in MLS, joining Diego Valeri, Fanendo Adi, and Sebastián Blanco.

STINGY DEFENSE Since recording its first win of the season in mid-April, Portland has conceded just 19 goals in regular-season play during that stretch, which ranks as the second-fewest in MLS during that span. For comparison, Sporting Kansas City has conceded 21 goals since April 14.

BETWEEN THE PIPES In his 16 regular-season starts this season, goalkeeper Jeff Attinella has only two losses, conceding just 17 goals. His goals-against-average of 1.01 is the best in the league. Additionally, Attinella’s 404-minute clean-sheet streak (April 14-May 19) is the longest by a Timbers goalkeeper in MLS play. As a team, the Timbers have conceded the third-fewest goals (25) in the league this season.

CLEAN-SHEET VICTORIES

Midfielder Tomás Conechny made his MLS debut in Wednesday’s match. Originally signed by the Timbers on July 17, 2018, the 20-year-old midfielder entered the match in the 73rd minute, playing the final 17 minutes against D.C. United.

Portland has fielded 25 different players in MLS play this season.

Prior to the team’s 2-1 win over LAFC on May 19, the Timbers recorded three consecutive shutout victories for the first time in their MLS era and the first time across all eras in club history (since 1975) since a four-game shutout streak in the 2007 campaign (June 28-July 13, 2007). Dating back to the start of the 2015 MLS campaign, the Timbers are tied for the sixth-most clean sheets in MLS, with 31 clean sheets during that stretch.

EL MAESTRO

DOUBLE-DIGIT WINS

With a goal in Portland’s most recent home match against Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Aug. 11, Timbers midfielder Diego Valeri tallied his team-leading ninth goal of 2018. With the finish, Valeri, who also has 10 assists, is one of two players in MLS to post nine-plus goals and nine-plus assists in the 2018 season.

TIMBERS INJURY REPORT QUESTIONABLE: Liam Ridgewell (lower left leg) OUT: Modou Jadama (left thigh), Roy Miller (right thigh), Jake Gleeson (tibia) * As of Aug. 17, 2018

The Timbers secured their 10th win in league play on Aug. 4 when the team defeated the Philadelphia Union 3-0. With the win, Portland reached the doubledigit win plateau this year in the fewest number of games in any of its eight MLS seasons since joining as an expansion club in 2011.

REIGNING MVP Midfielder Diego Valeri entered the 2018 MLS season as the reigning Landon Donovan MLS Most Valuable Player, after becoming the first Timbers player to receive MLS MVP honors following a record-setting 2017 campaign. Valeri’s record-setting season was highlighted by a team-high 21 goals, a career-high for the midfielder, and a team-high 11 assists, marking the fourth time the midfielder has hit double digits in goals and assists in his five seasons in MLS.
