Sporting KC Game Notes | August 22, 2019 vs. Minnesota United FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes HOMESTAND CONTINUES
SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES
ESPINOZA ACTIVE IN COMBATIVE WIN OVER SAN JOSE
Sporting Kansas City will continue their three-game homestand this week when the side hosts Minnesota United FC as part of Heineken Rivalry Week. After topping San Jose on Saturday 2-1, Sporting will now face the Loons before closing out the month with a home game against the Houston Dynamo on Aug. 31. Sporting are next on the road when the side heads to Providence Park to take on the Portland Timbers on Sept. 7.
Sporting Kansas City earned a much-needed 2-1 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes at Children’s Mercy Park on Saturday night to keep the side within touching distance of the playoff line in the Western Conference, as the side now sits six points behind the Portland Timbers and FC Dallas for the seventh postseason spot. Key to that victory was veteran midfielder Roger Espinoza, who matched his singlegame career highs in both fouls committed (5) and fouls suffered (6). In fact, Espinoza’s 11 combined fouls committed and fouls suffered ranks in a tie for the most ever by a Sporting KC player in the Opta era (2010-present), tying Uri Rosell who committed three fouls and suffered eight for a total of 11 in July 2013 against Montreal.
This current stretch of home games gives Sporting an opportunity to make a late climb up the Western Conference, as the side currently sits six points out of the crucial seventh and final playoff spot in the West, currently shared by the Portland Timbers and FC Dallas. Sporting has 24 points up for grabs in their final eight games of the regular season.
On a team-wide level, Sporting and San Jose combined for 44 shot attempts, with the high-energy Quakes accounting for 25 of them. Add it all together, and the unprecedented nature of Saturday’s clash becomes evident as the 83 combined shots (44) and fouls (39) between the teams were the most in Sporting’s 757-game regular season history.
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 on Aug. 4 before again failing to capitalize with a home loss to Real Salt Lake on Aug. 10.
FEILHABER NETS RECORD-SETTING GOAL
With Sporting Kansas City facing an uphill battle to take anything out of Saturday’s home game against the San Jose Earthquakes, Benny Feilhaber stepped up in a big way early in the second half to drag his side level with a stunning half-volley from the edge of the area. Sporting would go on to win 2-1 behind Graham Smith’s late winner.
Sporting is 3-0-0 all-time against Minnesota when it comes to MLS games played at Children’s Mercy Park, while the side has gone 0-1-2 in Minneapolis.
MINNESOTA COMES TO TOWN IN RIVALRY WEEK
Feilhaber, who represented the club from 2013-2017 in his first stint before playing with LAFC and the Colorado Rapids in 2018 and early 2019, returned to Kansas City following a trade with the Rapids in May. Since then, Feilhaber has made 14 appearances, tallying his first goal on Saturday while also adding two assists previously.
The two sides met three times in 2018, with Sporting taking the series 2-0-1. The first match came at TCF Bank Stadium on May 20, when Khiry Shelton and Darwin Quintero exchanged first-half goals as the two sides split the points with a 1-1 draw.
His goal brought Feilhaber into exclusive territory, as he became just the 17th player in MLS history to record at least 40 goals and 60 assists throughout his regular season career. Feilhaber joins Portland Timbers playmaker Diego Valeri and Columbus Crew SC veteran Federico Higuain as the only active MLS players on the exclusive list.
Sporting Kansas City remains at home this week as the side continues its three-game homestand when Minnesota United visits Children’s Mercy Park on Thursday night on ESPN as part of Heineken Rivalry Week.
The Loons then visited Children’s Mercy Park on June 3, with Sporting emerging 4-1 winners after goals from Daniel Salloi, Wan Kuzain, Cristian Lobato and Diego Rubio. The third and final meeting of the regular season also took place at CMP as second-half goals from Yohan Croizet and Rubio earned Sporting a 2-0 win on Aug. 25 as part of a four-game winning streak that lasted all of August 2018.
MLS ANNOUNCES ST. LOUIS EXPANSION
Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber officially announced on Tuesday that MLS has awarded an expansion team to the city of St. Louis. The team will begin MLS play in 2022 in a new soccer stadium located in the Downtown West district of St. Louis.
Sporting holds a 3-1-2 lead in the all-time series against Minnesota since the Loons joined the league in 2017: a 100% 3-0-0 record at home, and a winless 0-1-2 mark on the road. Sporting has also faced Minnesota-based sides five times in the U.S. Open Cup, going 3-1-1 - winning their last three games against the current iteration of Minnesota United in 2014, 2016 and 2017.
The owners of the St. Louis club include Enterprise Holdings Foundation president Carolyn Kindle Betz and six other female members of the Taylor family, making it the first female majority-owned club in MLS history, and one of few in professional sports. The ownership group is completed by Enterprise Holdings executive chairman Andy Taylor, and World Wide Technology CEO Jim Kavanaugh.
SMITH TALLIES FIRST PROFESSIONAL GOAL
With Tuesday’s announcement comes an exciting opportunity for Kansas City and St. Louis to fuel their long-standing sports rivalry. Separated by 250 miles on Interstate-70, Sporting has faced USL Championship side Saint Louis FC once: claiming a 1-0 victory in the U.S. Open Cup at Children’s Mercy Park in 2015.
With Sporting Kansas City desperately searching for a game-winner with the score deadlocked at 1-1 against the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday night at Children’s Mercy Park, it was an unlikely source that popped up to become the hero in the 76th minute. Center back Graham Smith was in the right place at the right time to knock home a rebound after Johnny Russell’s venomous free kick had struck the post.
Sporting has taken the field in St. Louis for exhibition matches during the club’s early days and later for a 2009 SuperLiga match against Mexican side Atlas.
Smith, 23, is in his second year with Sporting after being selected in the First Round of the 2018 MLS SuperDraft (18th overall) out of the University of Denver. In his rookie season, Smith made three appearances across all competitions before stepping up with Sporting in an injury crisis in 2019 - making eight appearances in all competitions to date and tallying his first professional goal with Saturday’s game-winner.
LUIS MARTINS EARNS FIRST START
After making his debut for Sporting KC in the 1-0 loss to Orlando City SC last Wednesday night, Sporting KC left back Luis Martins earned his first start for the club in Saturday night’s 2-1 victory over San Jose at Children’s Mercy Park. Martins was a confident presence on the left flank, winning one tackle and committing one foul as he limited dangerous winger Cristian Espinoza’s effectiveness from open play.
Smith has featured prominently for the Swope Park Rangers in the USL Championship, making 41 appearances while captaining the side on a regular basis.
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.
RUSSELL NAMED TO TEAM OF THE WEEK
Forward Johnny Russell played an instrumental role in Sporting Kansas City’s 2-1 comeback victory over the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday night at Children’s Mercy Park. MLSsoccer.com took notice, including Russell as a midfielder on the MLS Team of the Week for Week 24. With Sporting in dire need of three points to keep pace in the Western Conference playoff chase, Russell rose to the occasion against an upstart San Jose side that took a 1-0 lead into halftime. The Scottish international helped orchestrate a 50th-minute equalizer with a clever diagonal ball that Jimmy Medranda chested down to Benny Feilhaber, who expertly converted from the top of the box.
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 Camp Nou. While with Granada, Martins was loaned to fellow Spanish side Osasuna in 2015-16 and to Portuguese outfit C.S. Maritimo from 20162018. 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.
With 76 minutes on the clock, Russell’s sweetly struck free kick beat San Jose’s wall as well as goalkeeper Daniel Vega. Although his effort rattled the woodwork, Graham Smith was on hand to poke home the rebound for his first professional goal.
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 competing at the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Colombia.

Sporting KC Game Notes | August 22, 2019 vs. Minnesota United FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES
SINOVIC REACHES 200-CLUB MILESTONE
2026 WORLD CUP HEADING TO NORTH AMERICA
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 last Wednesday night as his side fell to a 1-0 defeat against Orlando City SC at Exploria Stadium.
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. 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.
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 (270), Graham Zusi (231) and Roger Espinoza (210). 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.
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.
In addition, Roger Espinoza’s 74-minute outing against San Jose on Saturday also prompted a shuffle among Sporting’s all-time appearance leaders. The Honduran has now donned the Kansas City uniform 274 times across all competitions, taking sole possession of fourth place all-time ahead of Nick Garcia and Davy Arnaud. Johnny Russell also made his 50th regular-season appearance with his start against Orlando.
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 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.
PLAYOFF STREAK REACHES EIGHT SEASONS
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.
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 176-131-101 record in all competitions with Sporting KC, including a remarkable 20-7-3 mark in U.S. Open Cup contests. Vermes’ 141 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
VERMES VERBATIM
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 team’s performance: “Tonight, our work rate was unbelievable to come back from being behind a goal. (San Jose) works very hard on the field, but we had something different today. We played with a lot of pride and I hope that the fans understand that we played for them today.”
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.
See below for comments from Sporting KC Manager and Sporting Director Peter Vermes following the 2-1 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes at Children’s Mercy Park on Aug. 17.
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 the play of Graham Smith: “I thought he was very good. Each game, he gets a little bit better. He’s just got to keep pushing.” On the play of Luis Martins: “I was impressed that he went 90 minutes. We had to make changes in different places to help the team and he found a way. I thought he did a really good job. He was good defensively. There’s a lot more in him going forward, but it’s part of his fitness. He was smart. He managed the game really well.”
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).
On the quick turnaround to face Minnesota: “We’ve got to take our next step. Minnesota is one of the best teams in the league right now. It’s going to be a very difficult match so we’ve got to come to play.”
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.

Sporting KC Game Notes | August 22, 2019 vs. Minnesota United 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 is entering his 11th season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2019 and is the longest-tenured active head coach in MLS. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 176 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, as well as the Western Conference in 2018. His three U.S. Open Cup championships are the third most in Open Cup history. He is the first coach in club history to lead Sporting KC to eight 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 141 regular-season wins top the club’s all-time chart and rank fifth 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 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 2018. 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.
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 was named the first-ever MLS Sporting Executive of the Year by his peers in 2018. Vermes has coached 408 total games during his Kansas City coaching career, most in club history.
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.
With over 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.
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.
Vermes oversees all soccer operations for Sporting KC, including the active roster, the Swope Park Rangers (USL Championship) 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.
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.
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.
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.
Vermes was an integral part of a young U.S. team at the 1990 World Cup in Italy, where he nearly scored 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.
Goalkeeper Coach | Alec Dufty Goalkeeper coach Alec Dufty enters his third season with Sporting Kansas City having been introduced to the organization as the Swope Park Rangers goalkeeper coach in the side’s inaugural season in 2016. In his first season working with Sporting KC’s goalkeepers, starting goalkeeper Tim Melia enjoyed a record-breaking season where he was named the 2017 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year.
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. 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. Year
A former MLS player, Dufty began his playing career with the New York Red Bulls in 2009, making one appearance before joining the MLS reserve goalkeeper pool. In 2010, Dufty joined USSF D2 Pro League side AC St. Louis, making 30 appearances before returning to MLS with the Chicago Fire in late 2010. He announced his retirement at the conclusion of the 2011 season. Dufty then took to coaching, first working with Florida Gulf Coast University and then the University of Illinois at Chicago. In 2015, Dufty served as goalkeeper coach for Toronto FC II in their inaugural USL season.

The Loons were on the front foot most of the game, but an Orlando counterattack ended with a foul in the box giving the visitors a penalty kick. Former Manchester United midfielder Nani converted from the spot to take the lead with just 20 minutes left on the clock. MNUFC battled back, but couldn’t get past goalkeeper Brian Rowe. Two minutes into stoppage time, a failed clearance after a throw-in fell kindly for Abu Danladi, who powered the ball into the net to tie the game. Orlando nearly had another penalty kick in stoppage time, but an offside player was spotted during video review and the game would end tied.

MNUFC Begins Road Trip in Kansas City Minnesota United begins its longest road trip since the start of the season on Thursday as it takes on Sporting Kansas City. The seventh league meeting between these teams kicks off Rivalry Week in MLS, with MNUFC still sitting second in the West. Sporting Kansas City is still recovering from the injuries that plagued it early in the year, and have struggled to get into consistent form this year. Back in June, MNUFC dispatched SKC with a confident 4-1 win in the U.S. Open Cup, but the Loons have yet to take any points from Children’s Mercy Park. Though it is less of a fortress this season, it is still a difficult venue for visitors. A good result here would give the Loons a boost heading into the U.S. Open Cup Final against Atlanta United FC on Tuesday.

MNUFC GAME NOTES Minnesota United FC vs Sporting Kansas City | Children’s Mercy Park, Kansas City, KS | Thursday, August 22
MINNESOTA UNITEDUNITED NEWS AND NOTES 2015 MINNESOTA FC GOAL MAP Ike Opara Named to Team of the Week For an unprecedented seventh time this season, Ike Opara represents MNUFC in the MLS Team of the Week for Week 24. He features for the first time since Week 22 after helping the Loons take four points from two games. Opara began his week helping the Loons to a clean sheet win against the Colorado Rapids on Wednesday at Allianz Field. He made a clearance off the line to keep the Rapids off the board in the first half and nearly scored a powerful header to put the game away in the final minutes. He was a major threat in the air in Saturday night’s draw against Orlando City SC, winning five challenges with his head and getting two headed chances towards goal. Adrian Heath on the Effect of Abu Danladi’s Goal “Confidence. I think the fact that he’s come through – now he’s had two or three weeks of really hard, solid training. Abu [Danladi’s] problem has been durability, keeping him fit for long periods of time to get that sharpness back. He’s getting a bit more confidence in himself, getting a bit more confidence in his body. I know what playing up front is like. There’s nothing like scoring a goal for confidence. He’ll benefit from that, [for] sure.” Heath on What Has Gone Wrong for Sporting KC This Year “It’s the first time that I can remember since I’ve been here that it might have gone a bit different than they would’ve liked. This is a team that looks like it’s evolving. This team has been able to pick itself virtually for – it seems like for an eternity. Now it looks different. I was looking at the roster and the team again this morning. [They made] three or four changes from a few weeks ago. Maybe [they’re] taking their time to bed in but they had a big win on Saturday against San Jose. We know how difficult they will be. It’s at that stage now, for them, where probably every home game is going to be really crucial. We know what’s coming. You know my feelings about Peter [Vermes] and his staff and that club. [I’ve] got a tremendous amount of respect for them all. We know it’s going to be difficult. We’ve had a tough time of it there over the last two or three years so we’ll need to play a lot better than we have done to get a result.”
MNUFC Partners with Sun Country Airlines for Fan Charter Flight Sun Country Airlines has partnered with Minnesota United for an Official Fan Charter to the U.S. Open Cup Final in Atlanta on Tuesday, August 27. “In Atlanta, our club has a chance to make history as we compete for the first championship in our MLS history in the U.S. Open Cup Final,” said MNUFC CEO Chris Wright. “As soon as the final whistle blew in our win over Portland, we knew we would have to find a way to bring our support with us, and we’re tremendously excited to be partnering with Sun Country on a chartered flight to the Final. We know our fans will prove that the Wonderwall can be built — fan by fan — wherever this club goes.” MNUFC Draw Orlando 1-1 Despite Strong Performance Coming into the second of two important home games before an extended stretch on the road, Minnesota United was hoping to take six points on the week against an Orlando City SC team that’s been the definition of inconsistent this season. While MNUFC dominated most areas of the game through 90 minutes, it struggled to find a final ball and let Orlando hang around long enough to draw a penalty that put the visitors up 1-0. A last-minute strike by Abu Danladi saved a point for the home side and ended the game a 1-1 draw that the Loons will surely feel they should have gotten more from. “It’s two dropped,” said Head Coach Adrian Heath. “If you don’t think that we didn’t deserve something out of this game, you don’t know anything about football. My God, I don’t know how many chances we’ve had, how many final third entries, how many opportunities we’ve had to pick a pass. Two dropped.”
Jan Gregus on Scoring Late Goals “It says just one thing. That we go until it’s over. There’s nothing like 90 minutes. We still play on [even in] extra time, until the referee whistles that’s it’s the end. It shows a lot of hard work and also the mentality that we want to win every time.” Gregus on What he Expects to See From Sporting KC on Thursday “We know the team and we know how they play. Like always, like every game, we need to be careful of their strong [aspects]. We still need to play our football and be active. I think it’s going to be more about us, our work ethic and everything like that.”

ABOUT MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER Minnesota United FC plays in North America’s top professional soccer league, Major League Soccer (MLS). The league features 24 teams from across the United States and Canada. After a successful bid to host the FIFA World Cup in 1994, the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) founded MLS to bring a top-level soccer league back to the country for the first time since 1984, when the original NASL folded. The league was set to begin play in 1996 with 10 teams: Colorado Rapids, Columbus Crew (SC), D.C. United, Dallas Burn (FC Dallas), Kansas City Wiz (Sporting Kansas City), Los Angeles Galaxy, New England Revolution, NY/NJ MetroStars (New York Red Bulls), San Jose Clash (Earthquakes) and Tampa Bay Mutiny. The league’s first game was played on April 6, 1996 as the San Jose Clash played D.C. United in front of 31,000 fans at Spartan Stadium. The league drew large crowds in its opening season, pulling star power from around North America and building on the excitement of the 1994 FIFA World Cup. As MLS has continued to grow, clubs have begun moving out of shared American football venues and into soccer-specific stadium, led by Columbus Crew (SC), who moved into the soccer-specific MAPFRE Stadium in 1999. Currently, 20 teams play in soccer-specific venues. The league is split into the Eastern and Western Conferences. Each team plays 34 games during the season. Teams play all conference opponents twice, once at home and once on the road, and each team in the other conference once, with an even balance of home and away games. The top seven teams in each conference at the end of the year qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs. Starting in 2019, the league has adopted a new single-elimination format for the entirety of the MLS Cup Playoffs. The top seven teams in each conference qualify for postseason, with the regular-season conference champions receiving a first-round bye. The second through seventh seeds will play the opening round games, with the highest seed hosting games throughout the tournament. The winners will move on to join the oneseed teams in the conference semifinals. The winner of each conference championship will move on the the MLS Cup Final. The team with the best regular season record will host the final.
