COLUMBUS CREW SC vs SPORTING KANSAS CITY MAPFRE STADIUM, Columbus, Ohio August 22, 2015 (WEEK 25, MLS Game #250) 7:30 p.m. ET (TWC-OHIO, KMCI-38) Long-time Midwestern rivals from the earliest days of Major League Soccer, Columbus Crew SC and Sporting Kansas City face off for the only time in league play this season when the clubs meet at Mapfre Stadium on Saturday evening. Crew SC extended their home undefeated run at midweek, coming back for a 2-2 draw with New York City FC. Sporting lost for the first time at home this year – the last team in MLS to suffer a home loss – with a 5-0 defeat by the San Jose Earthquakes at Sporting Park, also at midweek.

SKC has a six-game undefeated streak alive vs. Crew SC; the Columbus victory came July 28, 2012, a 2-1 win at Sporting Park.  Crew SC have not defeated KC at home since a 1-0 win April 16, 2011. Sporting have won three times in their last four visits to Columbus, with one draw.  Coaches record: Gregg Berhalter vs. KC: P2 W0 L2 D0 … Peter Vermes vs. CLB: P12 W8 L3 D1 COLUMBUS CREW SC Columbus Crew SC continued their home undefeated run, coming back for a 2-2 draw with New York City FC on Wednesday evening at Mapfre Stadium. Crew SC are in third place in the Eastern Conference with 35 points from 25 matches. LAST MATCH  Crew SC took the lead in the 24th minute. Ethan Finlay was able to drop his shoulder and turn around a defender on the right flank before driving a hard ball on the ground into the goalmouth, where Kei Kamara reached out a leg and redirected the cross past helpless NYC goalkeeper Josh Saunders.  But New York City FC leveled the match in the 57th minute. With his back to goal, David Villa played a perfect through ball to a darting Kwadwo Poku, and he calmly slotted a shot past Crew SC goalkeeper Steve Clark from inside the box.  Then 10 minutes later, NYCFC took the lead as Andrew Jacobson headed down an Andrea Pirlo corner kick directly to Poku, who gathered the ball and placed it perfectly into the bottom corner of the goal.  But Crew SC responded five minutes later. Cedrick Mabwati, who had come on as a substitute right after the NYCFC goal, immediately made a difference, bolting through the New York backline and touching the ball to Kamara, who deftly laid it back to Mabwati for a one-on-one finish past Saunders.  Crew SC head coach Gregg Berhalter made three changes to the team that took a 2-1 win against the Colorado Rapids at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Harrison Afful and Waylon Francis came into the back four in place of Hector Jimenez and Chris Klute, and Justin Meram started out wide in place of Kristinn Steindorsson.

MLS GAME INFORMATION



COLUMBUS CREW SC (4-2-3-1): Steve Clark - Harrison Afful (Hector Jimenez 60), Michael Parkhurst, Tyson Wahl, Waylon Francis - Wil Trapp, Tony Tchani - Ethan Finlay, Federico Higuain, Justin Meram (Cedrick Mabwati 67) - Kei Kamara. TEAM NEWS  Crew SC extended their home undefeated streak to six matches in league games, going 3-0-3 since a June 6 loss to Montréal.  “We’ve got to realize there’s nine games left now and every point, every game matters. So that’s the mentality we have to have, and that should be on everyone’s mind. The table’s tight, you can lose two games and the next thing you know you’re chasing the playoff race, and you can win two games and you can be right up there on the Supporters’ Shield,” said midfielder Ethan Finlay. “So that’s the mentality we’ve been looking at it and I think we’re disappointed in maybe dropping some points here, but we’re going to have a quick turnaround and that’s the exciting part.”  Kei Kamara scored his 18th goal of the season, his third in the last two matches, still leading the MLS Golden Boot standings, now by two goals ahead of Toronto FC’s Sebastian Giovinco. Over the last six games, since June 15, Kamara has netted six goals, hitting the back of the net in five of those.  Ethan Finlay assisted on the Kamara goal, now with 13 assists for the season, one behind Philadelphia’s Cristian Maidana for the MLS league lead. In his last 48 league games, Finlay has scored 18 goals and added 20 assists, after recording no goals and no assists in his 40 MLS games.  Kamara and Finlay have assisted on each other’s goals on 10 of the 25 total MLS goals they’ve scored. Kamara collected an assist on the Mabwati goal, the eighth time in his MLS career that he has registered at least one goal and one assist in the same match, and the third time this season he has done it.  “We need to get the ball wide. We need to give [Kamara] more service because he can have more goals and he can keep scoring. It has got to be a team effort to get the ball in wide positions and get the ball in the box because once it’s in the box, he does the rest. He is dangerous and he is having a phenomenal year. We are proud of what he’s been doing,” said Crew SC head coach Gregg Berhalter.  Making his third appearance in the last four matches, all off the substitutes’ bench, Cedrick Mabwati scored his first Crew SC and MLS goal.  “We have been seeing glimpses of that in training these last couple weeks. We know that he’s pushing. He got the goal on a fantastic effort but more importantly, I think, when you look at that overtime stretch he was aggressive, going at guys,” Berhalter said. “That’s the ability that he has. It was good to see that.”  Harrison Afful made his Crew SC and MLS debut, starting at right back and playing the opening 60 minutes.  “It’s tough for guys. We’re in full swing and he’s been off for a while and I think he hung in there. It’s not an easy job but he battled,” Berhalter said. “Yeah, he made a couple of mistakes but he also had a lot of positive things. He showed some ability. Overall, I’m happy with him.”  With the go-ahead corner kick goal from NYCFC, Crew SC have now allowed three goals out of their last five from set pieces. They’ve allowed seven goals for the season from deadball situations, one short of the leaguehigh.  “I would say we’re working on it. We’re not happy with a) that we’re not scoring enough on set pieces and b) that we’re conceding. If you’re not scoring, you definitely can’t concede and we’ve done that lately,” Berhalter said. “It’s work, it’s attention to detail and it’s desire. You have to want to win that ball and have the heart and desire to clear the ball out of the air.” SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City saw their two-game winning run and home undefeated streak put to a stunning end, falling 5-0 to the San Jose Earthquakes on Wednesday evening at Sporting Park. Sporting are in third place in the Western Conference with 40 points from 23 matches. LAST MATCH  The Quakes took the lead less than three minutes into the match when Shea Salinas drove into the penalty area to the left of the goal, then cut the ball back to Cordell Cato for an easy finish past SKC goalkeeper Tim Melia from the center of the box.  The lead was doubled in the 16th minute when a push from KC fullback Chance Myers sent Quincy Amarikwa to the pitch in the middle of the area, and referee Jair Marrufo pointed straight to the spot. Chris Wondolowski put the resulting penalty coolly inside the right post.  Then it was 3-0 in the 27th when Anibal Godoy took a pretty backheel up the middle from Amarikwa, raced into the area, cut back to his left to shed a defender and buried his shot from just right of the penalty spot.  The Quakes fourth goal, in the 58th minute, was a near-repeat of the first: a deep drive from Salinas, the cross to the middle, the ball driven home from just a few yards out by Cato.  Three minutes later the score was 5-0. Fatai Alashe sent in a diagonal ball from the right side, and Wondolowski dove in front of a defender to spear a long header just past an outstretched foot and into the goal.

MLS GAME INFORMATION



Sporting finished the game a man down when midfielder Benny Feilhaber was shown a straight red card in the 75th minute after pulling down Quincy Amarikwa as the last man outside the penalty area.  SKC manager Peter Vermes made four changes to the team that came back for a 4-3 win against Vancouver Whitecaps FC at Sporting Park. Chance Myers and Amadou Dia came in at fullback in place of Saad AbdulSalaam and Jimmy Medranda, Amobi Okugo started in midfield for Soni Mustivar, and Jacob Peterson came into the side for Connor Hallisey.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Tim Melia - Chance Myers, Kevin Ellis, Matt Besler, Amadou Dia (Marcel de Jong 46) - Amobi Okugo (Mikey Lopez 46) - Paulo Nagamura (Graham Zusi 68), Benny Feilhaber (ejected 71) - Jacob Peterson, Dom Dwyer, Krisztian Nemeth. TEAM NEWS  Sporting became the final team in MLS to lose on their home ground this season, their league undefeated streak at Sporting Park put to an end after 12 games, and their streak in all competitions at 16 games.  “We were nonchalant. We didn't play together as a group. We weren't good in our individual defending and we were very poor with the ball and with our entry balls out of the back. That allowed them to pick us off and at the end they did a great job of countering us. The difference between last game and this game is they finished three goals off in the first half,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes. “It was almost insurmountable for us to come back. You can't replicate that from week-to-week and I told that to the guys. It was just about us trying to minimize the bleeding with regards to us keeping the ball and being better with it. But we deserved to get beat like that because we didn't play well.”  Said goalkeeper Tim Melia: It's just a very disappointing performance from us, but this game's over. At the end of the day, it's our first home loss. We put this game behind us and use it as motivation to wake us up. We have a game in a few days against Columbus, another good team, on the road. This game doesn't mean anything if we win the next game. So that's the mentality we have to have.”  Sporting were shut out at the attacking end for just the fourth time this season, the first since May 23 – and lost by shutout for the first time this season. Each of their previous offensive shutouts ended in scoreless draws.  The five goals allowed by Sporting were two shy of the club record for a single league game, and the most the club has allowed ever at Sporting Park. The margin of victory against was the largest since their record defeat, 0-7 vs. Chicago Fire in 2001.  “When you get your butt kicked like this, you need to now reach down deep and get going. All this talk about us being good goes out the window, which is absolutely right,” said Vermes. “Nobody in this league has emerged as the team to beat. We are a long way from the end of this season. We have 11 games to play and no one has emerged as doing anything other than we have a lot of games left to play.”  Benny Feilhaber continued his streak at the only Sporting player to appear in every league match this season. But that streak will now end after he was sent off in the 71st minute vs. San Jose and will be suspended for the Columbus game.  Amobi Okugo made his first start with Sporting after arriving in a trade with Orlando City SC, playing the first 45 minutes in the deep-lying central midfield spot.  Amadou Dia returned to the starting lineup for the first time since Aug. 1, after coming off the substitutes’ bench each of the previous two matches – but he too came off for a substitute at the halftime interval.

KAMARA TIES JOHN In scoring his 18th goal of the 2015 Major League Soccer regular season against New York City FC, forward Kei Kamara surpassed Black & Gold Circle of Honor inductee Brian McBride and tied Stern John for second place on the club’s alltime single-season goal-scoring list ... Kamara’s 18 goals in 2015 are now level with John’s effort in 1999, when he also registered 18 goals ... McBride struck for 17 tallies during Columbus’ first-ever season in 1996 ... Kamara now only trails Stern John’s 26 goals in 1998 for the club’s all-time single-season goal-scoring record. KAMARA, WAHL FORMER MEMBERS OF SPORTING KC Both forward Kei Kamara and defender Tyson Wahl are former members of this weekend’s opponent, Sporting Kansas City ... Kamara joined Kansas City midway through the 2009 campaign and played there through 2013, scoring 38 goals and adding 20 assists ... Wahl, meanwhile, began his MLS career with the then-Wizards in 2006, playing for the club for three seasons.

MLS MATCH 26: COLUMBUS CREW SC VS. SPORTING KANSAS CITY AFFUL DEBUTS FOR BLACK & GOLD Against New York City FC on Wednesday, new Black & Gold Discovery Signing Harrison Afful made his club debut, starting at rightback and playing 60 minutes ... in the match, Afful tied midfielder Ethan Finlay for recording the most crosses from open play, with seven ... Afful originally signed with the Black & Gold on July 30 after six seasons with Tunisian club Esperance Sportive de Tunis. KAMARA EDGES CLOSER TO BLACK & GOLD SHOTS, SHOTS ON GOAL, GAME-WINNING GOAL RECORDS Forward Kei Kamara recorded three shots (one on goal) against New York City FC on Wednesday, giving him 110 shots and 46 shots on goal for the 2015 Major League Soccer regular season ... Kamara is now six shots and one shot on goal shy of tying Stern John in 1998 for the all-time club single-season record in both categories ... John notched 116 shots and 47 shots on goal over that 1998 campaign, in which he scored a club-record 26 goals ... Kamara is also one gamewinning goal shy of tying John’s six in 1998 for the all-time single-season record in that category. KAMARA IN THE AIR Among all Major League Soccer forwards, nobody has attempted or won more aerials than Crew SC’s Kei Kamara ... Kamara’s 200 aerials attempted are 46 more than the next closest player, and his 112 aerials won are likewise 35 more than the closest competitor ... San Jose’s Adam Jahn is the runner-up in both categories ... Kamara’s 56% aerial success rate is second in all of MLS among players with at least 70 aerials attempted. TCHANI RECORDS 100TH BLACK & GOLD APPEARANCE By starting and playing 90 minutes against New York City FC on Wednesday, midfielder Tony Tchani made his 100th appearance for the club ... the native of Cameroon has made 83 starts for Crew SC over that span, recording six goals and 12 assists ... he has notched a career-best four goals this season ... in reaching 100 appearances, Tchani becomes the 22nd player to ever hit the milestone in a Black & Gold shirt, as well as the second player on the current roster to do so, joining Justin Meram ... Tchani originally joined Crew SC via a trade from Toronto FC in exchange for Andy Iro and Leandre Griffit on July 15, 2011. FINLAY NOTCHES ASSIST AGAINST NYC, TIES FOR SECOND IN MLS Crew SC midfielder Ethan Finlay registered an assist on Kei Kamara’s goal against New York City FC, pulling into a tie with Sporting Kansas City’s Benny Feilhaber for second in Major League Soccer, with 13 ... through 25 games this season, Finlay’s 13 assists are a new career single-season high, surpassing last season’s breakout total of seven assists ... Finlay’s four game-winning assists are also tied for the MLS high, as well as one short of the all-time club record (Guillermo Barros Schelotto in 2008, John Wilmar Perez in 2001 and Simon Elliott in 2004) ... Finlay also tied Jeff Cunningham in 2001 and Robert Warzycha in 2000 for the third-most single-season assists in Black & Gold history ... see below for a breakdown of this season’s MLS assist leaders: Player/Club..............................Assists GWA GP Cristian Maidana/PHI...........14 3 22 Ethan Finlay/CLB..................13 4 25 Benny Feilhaber/SKC.............13 4 23 Sebastian Giovinco/TFC.......11 1 23 Javier Morales/RSL.................9 2 18 FRANCIS REMAINS IN LEAGUE LEAD IN ASSISTS AMONG DEFENDERS Black & Gold All-Star defender Waylon Francis continues to lead MLS in assists by a defender, with six ... for a breakdown, Opta statistics are below: Player/Club..............................Assists Waylon Francis/CLB.............6 Taylor Kemp/DC....................5 Steven Beitashour/VAN.........5 Jalil Anibaba/SKC...................4 Chris Tierney/NE...................4

MABWATI OPENS CREW SC ACCOUNT Against NYCFC, midfielder Cedrick Mabwati scored the game-tying goal in the 72nd minute, assisted by Kei Kamara ... the tally was his first in Major League Soccer and his first in a Black & Gold shirt ... the DR Congo native was making his third appearance for Crew SC after entering in the 67th minute. TRAPP TALKS ABOUT RECOVERY FROM CONCUSSION SYMPTOMS Andrew King from MLSsoccer.com spoke with Crew SC midfielder Wil Trapp about his recovery from concussion symptoms and Trapp’s education process in working his way back onto the field ... a quote from King’s story from Trapp on serving as a resource to other players who have had a similar experience: “I just kind of tell them that you have to be as smart as you possibly can. There are going to be periods where it’s difficult. You don’t know if it’s the concussion speaking or just your lack of fitness – that was a problem I had in coming back. But first and foremost, you want to get that symptom load as low as you possibly can. … If you feel any craziness or any weird feelings, it’s not the right decision to be out there playing.” LAMPSON’S KICK CANCER CUP MATCH TO BENEFIT THE LAMPSTRONG FOUNDATION IS SUNDAY Crew SC goalkeeper Matt Lampson is hosting the first annual LampStrong Foundation Kick Cancer Cup on Sunday, August 23 at MAPFRE Stadium to benefit his foundation ... the game is set to feature local celebrities playing, including Ohio State’s Maurice Clarett and Crew SC’s Dante Washington ... the game kicksoff at 1:00 p.m., and the two teams are set to be coached by Crew SC players Ethan Finlay and Emanuel Pogatetz ... Finlay is slated to be assisted by Aaron Schoenfeld, while Pogatetz’s assistants are scheduled to be Michael Parkhurst and Hector Jimenez ... for more information about the game, members of the media are encouraged to visit www.lampstrong.com. KAMARA, FINLAY CHASING HISTORY Should Crew SC’s tandem of forward Kei Kamara and midfielder Ethan Finlay finish the season as the League’s leading goal-scorer and assist-getter, respectively, it would mark the first time since 2001 that the League leader in both goals and assists came from the same team ... the Miami Fusion accomplished the feat last in that 2001 season, with the Tampa Bay Mutiny the only other MLS team to accomplish it, in 2000 ... no current MLS club has ever completed a season boasting the League’s leading goal-scorer and assist-getter ... see below for a breakdown: Season........Club 2001............Miami 2000............Tampa Bay

#CLBvSKC: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#CLBvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS

Two charter members of Major League Soccer meet on Saturday as Sporting Kansas City visits Columbus Crew SC. The visitors have a narrow 24-21-6 edge in the 20-year series, and 2015 marks the first time ever that the clubs will meet just once in the regular season. Sporting KC is unbeaten in six straight games against Crew SC dating back to October 2012, including five consecutive wins since the beginning of 2013. Peter Vermes’ men have been particularly successful on their travels to central Ohio, earning three wins and a draw in their last four matches at Mapfre Stadium. Crew SC haven’t defeated Kansas City on home soil since April 2011. The 2014 series saw Sporting KC collect two victories, the first of which a 2-0 result in May highlighted by Jacob Peterson’s 10th-minute game-winner at Sporting Park. The sides switched venues for a rematch at Mapfre Stadium two months later, and again it was Sporting KC who prevailed. C.J. Sapong headed Kansas City into the lead shortly before halftime, but Crew SC would draw level on a 69th-minute own goal from Igor Juliao. That set the stage for Benny Feilhaber’s spectacular match-winning strike in the 93rd minute to clinch the fourth of a clubrecord five straight MLS road wins. Feilhaber’s stoppage-time blast from the edge of the penalty box was named Sporting KC’s Goal of the Year at season’s end.

Sporting KC Game Notes | Aug. 22, 2015 at Columbus Crew SC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES SPORTING KC SUFFERS 5-0 SETBACK TO SAN JOSE Sporting KC’s 16-game home unbeaten streak came to an emphatic end on Wednesday with a 5-0 loss to the San Jose Earthquakes at Sporting Park. Cordell Cato and Chris Wondolowski each scored twice for the visitors, who won in Kansas City for the first time since 2004 to snap a 10-game road losing streak in the series. After allowing only seven goals in the team’s first 11 regular season home games, Sporting KC has now conceded eight goals in their past two. Wednesday’s loss marked only the fourth time in club history to concede five goals in a regular season home match and the first such occasion since 2001.

THREE AMIGOS 2015 marks the first season in club history that Sporting KC has seen three different players reach the double-digit goal mark across all competitions.

VERMES MAKES HISTORY With a pair of victories last week, Sporting KC manager Peter Vermes became the winningest manager in club history. He earned his 109th coaching win in all competitions when Sporting KC beat Real Salt Lake 3-1 on Aug. 12 in the U.S. Open Cup semifinals, passing his former coach Bob Gansler for sole possession of first place on the club’s all-time charts. Three days later, Vermes collected his club-record 87th regular season coaching victory as Sporting KC came from behind to beat Vancouver Whitecaps FC 4-3 at Sporting Park. In doing so, he passed Gansler for sole possession of eighth place in MLS history (sixth among active coaches behind Sigi Schmid, Bruce Arena, Dominic Kinnear, Frank Yallop and Jason Kreis).

TOUGH TO BEAT Sporting KC has been hard to beat during the first four months of the 2015 campaign. Their five losses are fewest in MLS and tied for the fewest through 23 games in team history. Sporting KC had six defeats through 23 games last year but lost seven of their final 11 matches to end the 2014 campaign with a 14-13-7 record. The 2000 Kansas City Wizards, led by then-centerback Peter Vermes, started 13-5-5 en route to winning the club’s first Supporters’ Shield title and MLS Cup. Thirteen years later, Sporting KC started 10-7-6 before eventually lifting a second MLS Cup. RELEVANT ROOKIES Three of Sporting KC’s 2015 MLS SuperDraft selections — Saad Abdul-Salaam, Amadou Dia and Connor Hallisey — have contributed valuably to a campaign that sees the club in the 2015 U.S. Open Cup Final and atop MLS in points per game. The trio has combined for 42 regular season matches played, more rookie appearances than any other MLS club in 2015. Each player has also featured in all four matches during Sporting KC’s run to the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final.

HOME STREAK SNAPPED Wednesday’s 5-0 defeat to the San Jose Earthquakes snapped Sporting KC’s home unbeaten run at 16 games in all competitions dating back to March 8. The streak broke the previous club record which spanned two seasons from 2004-2005 and also included a club-record 12-game home unbeaten streak in MLS (8-0-4). Sporting KC rattled off nine consecutive home victories from May 3 to July 21, also setting a new club record. The result saw Peter Vermes’ men top the eightgame 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.

SPORTING KC PROGRESSES TO U.S. OPEN CUP FINAL Sporting KC advanced to the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final with a 3-1 come-from-behind victory over Real Salt Lake on Aug. 12. Olmes Garcia and Soni Mustivar traded first-half goals at Sporting Park, setting up a dramatic final 10 minutes in which Benny Feilhaber and Krisztian Nemeth struck to send Sporting KC into the championship against the Philadelphia Union at PPL Park on Sept. 30. Now in its 102nd edition, the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup was headlined by the largest field in the modern era (1995-present) with 89 teams in contention when the first round began in May. The 2015 champion will win $250,000 in prize money, while the runner-up receives $60,000. The tournament winner qualifies for the group stage of the 2016-17 CONCACAF Champions League. The Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup has been held annually since 1914 and is open to all amateur/professional soccer teams affiliated with U.S. Soccer. It is the oldest ongoing national soccer competition in the U.S. and the world’s third-longest continuously running open soccer tournament. Sporting KC has twice lifted the Dewar Challenge Trophy as champions of the competition in 2004 and 2012.

NAGAMURA NAMED MLS PLAYER OF THE WEEK Paulo Nagamura was named MLS Player of the Week on Tuesday for Week 24 of the 2015 regular season. The veteran midfielder scored the game-tying and gamewinning goals in the final 10 minutes of Sporting KC’s 4-3 comeback victory over the Vancouver Whitecaps FC last Saturday. The two-goal performance was the second brace of Nagamura’s 11-year MLS career and earns the 32-year-old Brazilian his first MLS Player of the Week honor. A two-time MLS Cup champion, Nagamura leads Sporting KC’s roster with 249 league appearances (including postseason). He has 15 goals and 19 assists in his MLS career, and is one of only five midfielders with a goal or assist in each of the past 11 MLS seasons. ROAD SWING BECKONS Sporting KC will hit the road for four consecutive away games beginning Saturday at Columbus Crew SC. Peter Vermes’ side travels to face the Colorado Rapids on Aug. 29 before enjoying a bye week to start September. The road swing ends with two games in five days, the first of which at the Portland Timbers on Sept. 9. Kansas City will then travel nearly 3,000 miles southeast to Florida for their inaugural meeting with expansion side Orlando City SC on Sept. 13. The club’s upcoming fixture list will see the team play eight of their next 10 games away from home, including the U.S. Open Cup Final at the Philadelphia Union on Sept. 30. Sporting KC has won 32 MLS road matches 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). Moreover, Sporting KC is the only MLS team with a winning road record since the beginning of 2011 (including postseason), compiling a 32-31-20 mark away from home.

FEILHABER ON FIRE Sporting KC will face Columbus Crew SC on Saturday without one of their best players. Midfielder Benny Feilhaber is piecing together one of the best seasons in Sporting KC history, setting MLS career highs with eight goals and 13 assists during an MVP-caliber 2015 season. The 30-year-old World Cup veteran has contributed a goal or an assist in 13 of his last 15 matches in all competitions. Making his 100th appearance for Sporting KC last Saturday, Feilhaber tallied one assist in a 4-3 win over Vancouver Whitecaps FC to tie KC’s single-season assist record with 18 in all competitions. Feilhaber 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 All-Star Game on July 29. He has bagged two MLS Goal of the Week Awards (Weeks 8 and 21) and earned Team of the Week honors on eight separate occasions from various media outlets (see page 4).

GOALS IN BUNCHES Sporting KC is third in MLS with 1.61 goals scored per game. Last Saturday’s 4-3 win over Vancouver was the fourth regular season match in which Sporting KC has bagged four goals this year. Kansas City has reached the four-goal mark on four occasions in the same regular season twice previously (1996, 2010). In addition, Sporting KC’s 42 MLS assists in 2015 already surpass the 2014 total of 37.

SCORING FROM SET PIECES Sporting KC has been one of the league’s most dangerous teams in set piece situations. The club leads MLS with 12 assists from set plays, 55 chances created from set plays and 14 headed goals — five more than any other team. Benny Feilhaber is tied for the league lead with five set piece assists (Brad Davis), while Kevin Ellis and Dom Dwyer are tied for third in MLS with three headed goals apiece. Sporting KC’s aerial prowess bodes well for the rest of the 2015 campaign. In seven consecutive MLS season (and eight of nine), the team with the most headed goals went on to win the Supporters’ Shield and/or MLS Cup.

COMEBACK KIDS Sporting KC ranks third in MLS with three come-from-behind wins this season, not including an additional two comeback victories in the U.S. Open Cup. The club is 3-5-1 when conceding the first goal in MLS play and 5-5-1 when falling behind in all competitions. Sporting KC had three regular season wins of the comeback variety in 2013 and 2014 combined with a 3-19-1 record. 3

Sporting KC Game Notes | Aug. 22, 2015 at Columbus Crew SC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES (CONTINUED) ESPINOZA SIDELINED WITH FOOT INJURY Midfielder Roger Espinoza suffered a sesamoid fracture in his left foot during the team’s 1-1 draw against the Houston Dynamo on Aug. 1 and is expected to be sidelined into the month of October. 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. He was drafted by Kansas City in the first round of the 2008 MLS SuperDraft and began a five-year run that culminated with MLS All-Star honors and a Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup championship in 2012. After making 57 appearances for Wigan — including a 90-minute performance in the club’s historic 1-0 victory in the 2013 FA Cup final over Manchester City — 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. Espinoza joins 26-year-old centerback Ike Opara on Sporting KC’s long-term injury list. Opara ruptured his right Achilles in a 0-0 draw against Real Salt Lake on April 11 after starting the team’s first six games. The defender had been in excellent form prior to his setback, leading MLS through Week 6 with 30 interceptions and earning an MLS Player of the Month nomination for March after scoring twice and anchoring a backline that had posted two shutouts.
