LAST MATCH  The Rapids took the lead in the 20th minute. Dynamo defender Alex was ruled to have handled the ball on a challenge on Vicente Sanchez, and referee Drew Fischer pointed to the spot. Sanchez buried his own penalty kick to the right of goalkeeper Tyler Deric.

MLS GAME INFORMATION



The equalizer came in the 35th minute as the Rapids returned the favor when a handball was called on Bobby Burling in the Colorado penalty area. Brad Davis struck the resulting spot kick right down the middle to level the score.  The game-winner came 10 minutes from the end. Sean St. Ledger was able to get to a Dillon Serna ball just before it crossed the endline and pulled back a pass into the goalmouth, where Kevin Doyle leaped over a defender to head the ball home.  Rapids head coach Pablo Mastroeni made two changes to the team that defeated the Chicago Fire 1-0 at Toyota Park. Sam Cronin and Vicente Sanchez came back into the team, replacing Nick LaBrocca and Dillon Powers.  COLORADO RAPIDS (4-2-3-1): Clint Irwin - Drew Moor, Bobby Burling, Sean St. Ledger, Maynor Figueroa Sam Cronin, Marcelo Sarvas - Vicente Sanchez (Juan Ramirez 65), Dillon Serna, Gabriel Torres (Dillon Powers 57) - Kevin Doyle.

TEAM NEWS  The Rapids won their second game in a row following a three-game losing run, which came after a three-game winning streak, their longest of the season.  “Coming off of the win in Chicago, there was a lot of patience in that game. It was a well-balanced game. I felt like we were in control from the beginning to the end. We created a lot of great opportunities to score and they defended well in that tight spot,” said Rapids head coach Pablo Mastroeni. “The overall performance was really impressive and dictated by the guys on the field. It’s taken us a long time to get to this point, but I am really proud of their effort and their commitment to the game plan and execution.”  Said Kevin Doyle: “It’s now or never. We’ve always been one or two games away from being just on the edge of it with a game at hand. We’ve always believed it, but it’s just a difference of believing it and doing it. We need to win a lot more games from now to the end of the season to have a chance to finish respectfully.”  Said Sean St. Ledger: “When you win an away game you have to build on that to gain confidence. I feel like [that] was a huge result for us. We’ve earned six points in a matter of a few days, and we’re going into Saturday against Sporting Kansas City full of confidence and looking to get nine points. It’s been a great effort so far, but we need to finish now.”  Vicente Sanchez scored his second goal of the season, his first since July 4. Sanchez returned to the starting lineup after a one-match absence, his seventh start in the last eight matches.  “He brings an element of attack that no one else does, and that very few in the league do. He has an ability to drop the team back, run at them and create space for his teammates. I think in the first half he did a tremendous job. He’s a very dynamic player,” Mastroeni said.  The Sanchez goal was the first from the penalty spot for the Rapids this season. They had won one previous penalty, Dillon Powers shooting wide vs. Real Salt Lake on June 7.  Kevin Doyle scored his third goal since joining the Rapids, his first since July 18. He has three goals and an assist in MLS, all over the last eight matches, since moving into the starting lineup as the spearhead in the attack uninterrupted.  Sean St. Ledger collected his first MLS assist, making a third consecutive start in central defense, following his arrival from Orlando City SC.  “That’s not one you chalk up. The game is won by the players on the field and that was an example of that. He felt it in the moment, and is experienced enough to understand that it was a good opportunity. The touch he had was tremendous. He is a guy that has really helped this team out since he has come on board,” Mastroeni said.  Said Doyle: “We’ve played a lot of games together over the years. He has settled really well since he has been here. He’s only been here a few weeks and it seems like he has been here all season. He’s been in the league so he knows how everything is. The lads have played against him so they respect him – it’s been an easy transition for him here.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City lost a second consecutive game for the first time this season, falling 3-2 to Columbus Crew SC on Saturday evening at Mapfre Stadium. Sporting are in a tie for third place in the Western Conference with 40 points from 24 matches.

LAST MATCH  Sporting opened scoring in the 14th minute. Dom Dwyer headed a ball into the path of Saad Abdul-Salaam, who had a clear path to the touchline and slid a ball behind the Crew SC defense, giving Marcel de Jong a wide open goal for an easy finish.  But Crew SC pulled level in the 35th minute. On a counterattack, fullback Harrison Afful made a darting run down the right side and pulled back a cross for Federico Higuain, who smashed a shot off the crossbar. Kei Kamara skied to collect the rebound, turned and rocketed a pass across goal, finding the chest of Ethan Finlay, who directed the ball into the open net.

MLS GAME INFORMATION



But Sporting pulled back in front in the 62nd minute. From a Crew SC corner kick, SKC defender Matt Besler pinged a long ball wide to Graham Zusi, who cut into the Crew SC box and curled a beautiful finish past the outstretched arm of Steve Clark.  Yet the home side had another answer. A free kick from Higuain glanced off the head of Tyson Wahl and directly to Tony Tchani, who calmly finished to bring the match to 2-2 in the 80th minute.  The winner came with two minutes to play. Higuain again creating the crucial chance, volleying a ball in the Kansas City box that goalkeeper Tim Melia saved. But Jack McInerney was there for the rebound, tapping the ball into the back of the net to seal the three points.  SKC manager Peter Vermes made five changes to the team that fell 5-0 to the San Jose Earthquakes at Sporting Park. Saad Abdul-Salaam and Jimmy Medranda came into the back four for Chance Myers and Amadou Dia, Graham Zusi and Mikey Lopez started in midfield for Amobi Okugo and the suspended Benny Feilhaber, and Marcel de Jong came in out wide in place of Krisztian Nemeth.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Tim Melia - Saad Abdul-Salaam, Kevin Ellis, Matt Besler, Jimmy Medranda (Amadou Dia 57) - Paulo Nagamura - Graham Zusi, Mikey Lopez - Jacob Peterson (Chance Myers 78), Dom Dwyer, Marcel de Jong (Krisztian Nemeth 90).

TEAM NEWS  Sporting have lost back-to-back games for the first time this season with the defeat at Columbus. Their longest winless streak of the year is three games, set twice previously.  “We've played a lot of games in a short period of time. Our effort was there tonight and I thought we had a good game plan, I thought the guys executed it very well,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes. “ … It was a great effort on our part especially with how many guys we had to play that aren't regulars and how many guys we had to play out of position as well.”  Said midfielder Paulo Nagamura: “I think we showed today that when we play as a group, we play better. I think every one of us did a great job sticking with the game plan and giving everything that we had. But at the end, like I said, I see this as an improvement for the road trip that we are going to have over these next three weeks.

If we stay like that, I believe that we are going to get some points on the road.”  Graham Zusi scored his second goal of the season, his first since May 29, making his first start since Aug. 1 (and his second over the last eight league games).  “We look back at the past two games and you can't fault our effort in this game. You can't fault our effort. It is the kind of effort that we need, it is a big improvement from Wednesday's game so it is a positive, it certainly is,” Zusi said. “Getting two goals on the road is a positive. It's just those little things that we’ve got to fix.”  Marcel de Jong made his first start since July 24, coming into an attacking wide role, and scored his first MLS goal. De Jong had made one start in the position, June 6 vs. Seattle.  Dom Dwyer collected his second assist of the season, his first coming on April 18. Dwyer has three goals and an assist over the last six league matches.  Matt Besler collected his third assist of the season, his first since garnering assists in back-to-back games March 28 and April 5. The three assists are a new career single-season high for Besler.  After making his first league appearance of the season as a halftime substitute in the San Jose match, Mikey Lopez made his first MLS start of the season – his first since Sept. 3 of last year, at New England.

LAST MATCH Colorado Rapids 2, Houston Dynamo 1 Dick’s Sporting Goods Park; Commerce City, CO Wednesday, August 26, 2015

TEAM NEWS Head coach Pablo Mastroeni changed both personnel and formation from Saturday’s win at Chicago. Sam Cronin was back from suspension to replace Nick LaBrooca while Sánchez came in for Dillon Powers. The side lined-up in a 4-2-3-1 as opposed to the 4-3-3 at Toyota Park .

FIRST HALF Rapids started brightly enough by peppering the Houston goal from distance. However the first significant save came from Clint Irwin when he tipped over an inquisitive, long-range shot from Davis.

The home side were making significant in-roads down the right and, midway through the half, they took the lead thanks to an attack down that flank.

Sanchez beat Alex, his marker, to enter the area. As the defender recovered the Rapids’ midfielder dragged the ball back onto his hand. Referee Drew Fischer pointed to the spot and the Uruguayan stepped up, beat Tyler Deric and then jumped into the crowd to celebrate.

However Houston would respond immediately. A.J. Cochrane backflicked a header just past Irwin’s right-hand post then, on 37 minutes, they equalized from the penalty spot. Burling handled a right-wing cross under pressure from Will Bruin and Davis slid his penalty down the center of the goal, just beating Irwin’s outstretched boot.

SECOND HALF Rapids started quickly at the start of the second half. Sanchez nearly caught out keeper Deric then Cronin’s drive across goal was deflected wide for a corner when it might have gone anywhere.

Both coaches made a slew of substitutions to change up their sides. Rapids were still on top but struggling to find that incisive pass.

In the end, the breakthrough was down to tenacity and desire. St. Ledger chased down a seemingly hopeless ball to the right-hand byline. He clipped it back into the area and Doyle leaned in front of his marker to bundle home a header.

Substitute Powers nearly grabbed an immediate third but his snap shot flew just wide, then Juan Ramirez dribbled through Kevin Doyle’s third goal of the season proved to be the difference before prodding a shot wide. as Colorado Rapids edged out Houston Dynamo 2-1 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on Wednesday night.

Sporting KC Game Notes | Aug. 29, 2015 at Colorado Rapids | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #COLvSKC: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#COLvSKC: RECAPPING THE PAST 10 DAYS Sporting Kansas City Sporting KC have suffered back-to-back losses for the first time in 2015 following a 3-2 defeat at the Columbus Crew SC last Saturday. Marcel de Jong and Graham Zusi twice gave Sporting KC leads on the road but Crew SC rallied in front of a sell-out crowd at MAPRE Stadium with two goals in the final 10 minutes.

The result in Ohio came three days after a 5-0 setback to the San Jose Earthquakes at Sporting Park. Sporting KC’s club-record 16-game home unbeaten streak came to an end as 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. Last Wednesday marked Sporting KC’s first home loss of the 2015 season.

Sporting KC and the Colorado Rapids meet Saturday for the second of three head-to-head meetings in 2015. Peter Vermes’ men triumphed 2-0 in the series opener on June 27 thanks to a first-half goal from Krisztian Nemeth and a second-half own goal from Sam Cronin after Benny Feilhaber had whipped a dangerous cross into the six-yard area. This will be the 54th regular season meeting all-time (SKC leads 23-17-13) and the 68th in all competitions (SKC leads 29-22-16), making Colorado the most frequent opponent in Kansas City history.

Recent history in the head-to-head matchup favors Sporting KC, who are unbeaten in 11 straight MLS matches against Colorado dating back to 2009 with a 6-0-5 record (including postseason). In addition, Kansas City has not lost to the Rapids at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park since March 2009, a run of five straight MLS matches without a defeat (2-0-3 record including postseason).

The teams last squared off at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in March 2014.

Graham Zusi (50’), Feilhaber (79’) and Dom Dwyer (92’) were on target as Sporting KC erased a 2-1 second-half deficit to win 3-2.

Colorado Rapids Kevin Doyle’s third goal of the season proved to be the difference as Colorado edged the Houston Dynamo 2-1 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on Wednesday night. With 12 minutes left, the Designated Player bundled home a header from close range following a cut-back from Sean St. Ledger to decide the encounter.

Vicente Sanchez converted from the penalty spot in the 20th minute to give the home side the lead but Brad Davis replied just before the halftime whistle with a penalty of his own.

Four days earlier, the Rapids collected their third road win of 2015 after beating Eastern Conference cellar dwellers Chicago Fire. Dillon Serna scored the game’s only goal just 48 seconds after kickoff.

Sporting KC Game Notes | Aug. 29, 2015 at Colorado Rapids | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES ON THE ROAD AGAIN Sporting KC is amidst a four-game road swing that began last weekend at Columbus Crew SC. Peter Vermes’ side travels to face the Colorado Rapids on Saturday before enjoying a bye week to start September. The period ends with two games in the span of five days on opposite sides of the country, 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 seven of their next nine games away from home, including the Lamar Hunt 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 regular season road record since the beginning of 2011, compiling a 32-31-20 mark away from home.

FEILHABER ON FIRE 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 MVPcaliber 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 on Aug. 15, 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.

KING OF THE ROAD Sporting KC has won 31 road matches in MLS since the beginning of 2011, most in the league, including eight away wins in each of the previous three regular seasons.

Their 24 road wins from 2012-2014 are the most of any MLS club over a threeyear span during the non-shootout era (2000-present). SKC is the only MLS team with a non-losing road record since the beginning of 2011 (including postseason), compiling a 31-29-19 mark away from home.

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 third place in the daunting Western Conference. The trio has combined for 44 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.

GOALS IN BUNCHES With 1.63 goals scored per game, Sporting KC is on pace for its third-highest scoring season in team history, eclipsed only by the 1996 and 1997 campaigns. The 1996 season saw Kansas City bag 61 goals in 32 games (1.91 per game), while 97 saw a goal haul of 57 (1.78 per match).

A 4-3 win over Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Aug. 15 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 45 MLS assists in 2015 already surpass the 2014 total of 37 and the 2013 total of 43.

ONTO THE 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.

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. Dom Dwyer, Krisztian Nemeth and Benny Feilhaber have combined for 35 for the team’s 52 total goals in the MLS regular season and U.S. Open Cup Goals scored by Sporting KC’s power trio in 2015 Player MLS USOC Total 8 5 13 Dom Dwyer Krisztian Nemeth 8 4 12 8 2 10 Benny Feilhaber Trio totals 24 11 35 Team totals 39 13 52

HOME STREAK SNAPPED A 5-0 defeat to the San Jose Earthquakes on Aug. 19 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 eight-game winning run made in 2004 when Bob Gansler’s side won the U.S. Open Cup in September and advanced to MLS Cup in November.

VERMES MAKES HISTORY With a pair of victories earlier this month, 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). Vermes has a 110-74-57 overall record since taking over in August 2009 and is the only person to win MLS Cup as both a player (2000) and coach (2013) with the same team.

Rookie defender Saad Abdul-Salaam was selected by Sporting KC with the 12th overall pick in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft. He made his Sporting KC debut with a substitute appearance in a 4-2 win over New England on May 20 after starting five games on loan for the reigning North American Soccer League champion San Antonio Scorpions. He has made 17 appearances in all competitions this season (13 in MLS) and recorded his first professional assist in a 6-2 U.S. Open Cup win over FC Dallas on July 1. He earned his first MLS start on July 12, a 1-0 win over Vancouver in which Abdul-Salaam received Team of the Week honors from Bleacher Report.

Abdul-Salaam played three seasons at the University of Akron (2012-2014), recording three goals and 12 assists in 54 college games. The right back helped Akron win MAC regular season titles in each of his three college seasons. He enjoyed a breakout junior campaign in 2013 with five assists in 19 starts before earning All-MAC First Team honors as a senior in 2014, notching two goals and a team-high six assists while starting all 21 games for the Zips.

Fifth-year MLS defender Jalil Anibaba joined Sporting KC ahead of the 2015 season.

He made 112 regular season appearances over four years with the Chicago Fire (2011-2013) and Seattle Sounders FC (2014), recording four goals and six assists. He made his Sporting KC debut on March 21 and scored his first goal for the club in second half stoppage time of a 3-2 win over Philadelphia on April 5. His first of four Sporting KC assists during the month of May was a game-winner to Paulo Nagamura on May 3 and he was named to the fan ballot for the 2015 AT&T MLS All-Star Game.

Capable of playing as a centerback or right back, Anibaba made 16 MLS appearances in 2014 and helped Seattle win the Supporters’ Shield title. He also featured in four matches during the club’s run to the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open championship. The 26-year-old spent his first three professional seasons in Chicago, where he played in 96 of the team’s 102 regular season contests from 2011-2013. The defender was named a finalist for Major League Soccer’s Fair Play Award in 2013, starting every regular season match of the campaign.

As a youth, Anibaba represented the United States at the under-18 and under-20 national team levels.

Bernardo Anor joined Sporting KC from Columbus Crew SC in December 2014 to become the club’s first offseason acquisition. The 27-year-old native of Venezuela appeared in 72 matches over four seasons with Columbus, scoring 12 goals and adding three game-winning assists since being drafted out of the University of South Florida in 2011. He made his Sporting KC debut with a start on March 8.

Anor played 13 MLS matches as a rookie and 11 games in 2012 before suffering a season-ending ACL injury. He returned in 2013 to make 19 MLS starts and earn the club’s Comeback Player of the Year award.

He was named to the MLS All-Star Fan XI ahead of the 2015 AT&T MLS All-Star Game on July 29.

Besler signed a long-term Designated Player contract with the club in July 2014. His 208 appearances for Sporting KC in all competitions lead the current roster and rank eighth most all-time. A regular staple of the team’s backline, he has started 168 of his 173 MLS regular season appearances and landed Sporting KC Defender of the Year honors three times (2011-2013).

Besler has earned 25 caps for the United States Men’s National Team since debuting in January 2013.

He started all four matches in the tournament as the U.S. finished Group G runners-up behind eventual champion Germany and advanced to the Round of 16. He helped lead the U.S. to the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup title, starting all three matches in the knockout stage.

Now in his fourth season at Sporting KC, Dom Dwyer is coming off a breakout 2014 campaign in which he garnered Sporting KC Offensive Player of the Year and co-MVP honors. The Englishman set a single season club record with 22 goals, second most in MLS, and his 41 career goals in all competitions are tied for fifth most in team history.

Dwyer, who was an MLS All-Star in 2014 for the first time in his career, has scored 63 goals in all competitions since the start of 2013—41 for Sporting KC and 22 for former USL PRO affiliate Orlando City SC. He signed a contract extension with the club ahead of the 2015 campaign and leads the team this year with 13 goals in all competitions, including a club-record four goals in a 6-2 U.S. Open Cup win over FC Dallas on July 1.

After making three appearances across all competitions during his rookie season, he notched 15 goals in 13 regular season games while on loan with Orlando City SC in 2013 to set USL PRO’s single-season scoring record at the time. He added four goals in the USL PRO final to earn championship MVP honors.

Dwyer won two national championships at Tyler (Texas) Junior College (2009, 2010), where he was the national junior college player of the year after scoring 37 goals as a sophomore. Moving on to South Florida in 2011, he scored 16 goals in 21 games.

Sporting KC’s second Homegrown Player in club history, defender Kevin Ellis is coming off a 2014 campaign in which he made a career-high 21 appearances and 17 starts in MLS (including his playoff debut). He finished 2014 with three assists in league play, tied for third most in the team, while splitting time between the right back and centerback positions. The regular starter has continued his rise in 2015, recording his first MLS goal in a 4-0 win over FC Dallas on May 29 at Sporting Park, then notching his first game-winning goal in a 1-0 triumph at Vancouver Whitecaps FC on July 12.

Now in his fifth season with the club, Ellis developed in the Sporting KC Academy while attending Oak Park High School before playing collegiately at Barton County Community College in 2009-10. He scored his first competitive goal for the club last March, sparking a 1-0 win over Cruz Azul (Mexico) in the 2013-14 CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal first leg at Sporting Park.

Sporting KC signed goalkeeper Tim Melia in December 2014. He enters his sixth MLS season in 2015 after previously representing Real Salt Lake (2010-2011) and Chivas USA (2012-2014), where he backed up MLS All-Stars Nick Rimando (RSL) and Dan Kennedy (Chivas USA). He made his Sporting KC debut on May 3, shutting out Chicago in a 1-0 result for the first clean sheet and first win of his MLS career. After recording a career-high six saves in a 1-0 win over Seattle on June 6, he became the first goalkeeper in Kansas City history to go unbeaten in his first six MLS appearances for the club. On July 12, he then became the first keeper in MLS history to record six shutouts in his first nine MLS matches for a new club. He boasts a 13-4-3 record for Sporting KC in all competitions this season.

Melia’s professional career began in 2008 with the Rochester Rhinos in the USL First Division.

Melia was a member of Chivas USA from 2012-2014, making 18 saves in six MLS appearances. He most recently served as a League Pool Goalkeeper, earning emergency call-ups from MLS Cup Playoff participants Sporting KC (August), FC Dallas (October) and D.C. United (November) in late 2014.

He scored his first goal for the club in the U.S. Open Cup on Aug. 12 and recorded the first two assists of his MLS career in a 4-3 win over Vancouver on Aug. 15.

Mustivar began his professional career as a teenager with SC Bastia in France’s Ligue 2 during the 2008-09 and 2009-10 seasons. He then moved to FC Petrolul Ploiesti and played each of the past three seasons in Romania’s Liga I. He recorded 61 league appearances with two goals in addition to playing eight matches in the UEFA Europa League. He started in Petrolul’s triumph in the 2012-13 Romanian Cup Final.

He tallied the game-winning assist in his first MLS match of the season on June 27, landing MLSsoccer.com Team of the Week honors.

Myers eclipsed 30 MLS appearances in both 2011 and 2012 as a regular starter, and after making a career-high 31 MLS starts in 2013 (including playoffs), was the top-rated outside back on the MLS Castrol Index. He led MLS with 91 successful crosses from open play (including playoffs) between 2011 and 2013 before missing most of 2014 through injury.

Myers signed a new contract with the club last year after joining the U.S. Men’s National Team for the first time in his career as a member of Jurgen Klinsmann’s January Camp in 2014. He previously played for the U.S. U-18, U-20 and U-23 youth national teams.

Sporting KC’s most experienced MLS player with 250 league appearances (including playoffs), Paulo Nagamura is in his fourth season with the club. Since arriving ahead of the 2012 campaign, he has recorded seven goals and six assists in 96 games (82 starts) across all competitions.

Nagamura scored the game-tying and game-winning goals in the 87th and 94th minutes of a 4-3 win over Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Aug. 15 as Sporting KC came from two goals behind after the 80th minute to complete one of the greatest regular season comebacks in MLS history. A veteran presence in the midfield, he converted penalty kicks in shootouts following the 2012 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final and 2013 MLS Cup Final.

The Brazilian began his career with Sao Paulo FC and Arsenal FC in England before coming to the United States to play for the LA Galaxy in 2005, winning the MLS Cup and Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in his first season. He has also played for Toronto FC (2007) and Chivas USA (2007-2011) in MLS, becoming an MLS All-Star in 2009.

Now in his first MLS season, Krisztian Nemeth signed for Sporting KC last December.

He made his league debut with a start on March 8 at Sporting Park before scoring his first MLS goal in the 94th minute of a 3-2 win over Philadelphia on April 5. He has scored 12 goals across all competitions in 2015 and was named MLS Player of the Month for May after recording three goals and two assists during the month.

Nemeth’s professional career began at age 15 when he signed with MTK Budapest in 2005. He was signed by Rafael Benitez to join Liverpool FC in 2007 and featured extensively for the Liverpool Reserves, becoming the Barclays Premier Reserve League’s top scorer with nine goals during his first season. His career continued in Greece with AEK Athens (2009-10), Olympiacos (2010) and Olympiacos Volos (2011) before he moved to Dutch club RKC Waalwijk in 2012. He most recently played for Roda JC Kerkrade in the Dutch Eredivisie, recording eight goals during the 2013-14 season.

Internationally, Nemeth starred for the Hungary under-17 and under-19 youth national teams before leading his country to a third place finish at the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup. He earned his first of 17 caps for Hungary’s senior team in 2010 and most recently featured in a 2016 UEFA EURO qualifier on June 13.

Sporting KC acquired 24-year-old Amobi Okugo from Orlando City SC on July 20 of this year. He has played 134 MLS matches as a central defender and holding midfielder in six professional seasons since being selected sixth overall by the Philadelphia Union in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft. He made his Sporting KC debut in a 3-1 win at Toronto FC on Aug. 8, assisting a late goal to seal the result.

In 2011, Okugo was a member of Major League Soccer’s Generation adidas roster that was led by Sporting KC Manager Peter Vermes during a tour of the Netherlands.

Between 2012-2014, he led all MLS players with 70 blocks and was fourth in the league with 276 interceptions.

Okugo was included on MLSsoccer.com’s “24 under 24” rankings of the league’s top youth talent each of the past two seasons (8th in 2013, 13th in 2014) and joined Orlando City SC for their inaugural MLS campaign in 2015.

Okugo represented the United States extensively at the youth national team levels.

He went on to appear at the 2009 and 2011 CONCACAF U-20 Championships before playing for the U.S. U-23’s at the 2012 CONCACAF Men’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament.

Defender Ike Opara is in his sixth season in MLS and third season as a member of Sporting KC. After sitting out almost a year through injury, he returned to the pitch on March 8 and scored Sporting KC’s first goal of the season. He led MLS through Week 6 with 30 interceptions and was nominated for Eithad Airways MLS Player of the Month for March after scoring twice and anchoring a backline that posted two shutouts. He then suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon injury in his right ankle on April 11.

The club’s 2013 Newcomer of the Year, Opara appeared in a career-best 18 MLS matches with 15 starts during the club’s MLS Cup-winning campaign. He scored four goals in 2013 across all competitions (all headers) and featured in three of Sporting KC’s playoff matches. A season-ending ankle injury limited him to three MLS appearances in 2014 and two starts in the 2014-15 CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals.

Opara represented the United States at the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup, playing all three matches at the tournament, and at the U-23 level during the 2012 CONCACAF Men’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament. He was drafted by the San Jose Earthquakes in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft as a Generation adidas signing and played 36 MLS matches for the club over three seasons.

One of the youngest players under contract in MLS, Erik Palmer-Brown became a homegrown player in August 2013 at age 16. On March 8, he became the youngest MLS player to appear in a team’s regular season opener since 2010 and recorded his first MLS minutes at Sporting Park. The 18-year-old earned his first start of 2015 on May 9 at D.C. Palmer-Brown made his league debut with a start in May 2014, becoming the youngest player in MLS history to start a match as a defender, for the first of six appearances in all competitions (including debuts in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and CONCACAF Champions League). He played in the inaugural Chipotle MLS Homegrown Game last August and made his second appearance in the annual match on July 28 of this year.

The Lee’s Summit, Mo. native joined the Sporting KC Academy at age 13 and has represented United States youth national teams at the U-15, U-17, U-18 and U-20 levels.

This year, he competed with the U-20s at training camps in England (March 23-30) and Austria (April 18-26) before joining the U.S. Under-20 Men’s National Team for the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup. He started one match in the tournament as the U.S. advanced to the quarterfinals before losing a penalty kick shootout to Serbia.

A nine-year MLS veteran, Peterson has 16 goals and 15 assists in 219 regular season appearances over the course of his professional career. Now in his fourth season with Sporting KC, he has contributed nine goals and eight assists in 104 games across all competitions for the club.

Peterson is one of only two players in MLS history, alongside former Kansas City defender Nick Garcia, to be a member of teams that won each of the following: NCAA Division I National Championship (2003, 2004), Canadian Championship (2010, 2011), U.S. Open Cup (2012) and MLS Cup (2013).

As a youth, Peterson represented the United States at the 2003 FIFA U-17 World Championships and 2005 FIFA U-20 World Cup. Four seasons with the Colorado Rapids (2006-09) were followed by stints with Toronto FC (2010-11) and the San Jose Earthquakes (2011) before he was acquired by Sporting KC in 2012. His 219 regular season appearances are second most on the team, behind only Paulo Nagamura (235).

Sporting KC signed 21-year-old midfielder Jordi Quintilla on Aug. 6, 2015. He becomes the youngest Spaniard currently in Major League Soccer.

Quintilla developed as a youth at UE Lleida before moving to FC Barcelona’s famed La Masia academy, where he trained alongside former Sporting KC midfielder Oriol Rosell. In 2012, he began his professional career as an 18-year-old with Barcelona B in Spain’s second division and later went on loan to CF Badalona and CE L’Hospitalet.

Most recently, Quintilla spent the 2014/15 season with AC Ajaccio in the French Ligue 2 and played in 20 games across all competitions for the club.

Sporting KC’s 2014 Defender of the Year, Seth Sinovic is in his sixth MLS season and fifth campaign at his hometown club. A regular fixture at left back, he is the only player on the team to start at least 30 regular season games in each of the last three seasons.

Drafted in 2010 by the New England Revolution, he joined Sporting KC in 2011 and has started 145 of his 147 total appearances for the club in all competitions.

He scored his first professional goal in the 2012 MLS Cup Playoffs and registered the second of his career in the 2013 postseason against his former team, helping Sporting KC prevail in the decisive leg of the 2013 Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Sinovic received his first call-up to the United States Men’s National Team ahead of the 2014 USMNT January camp.

A seventh-year veteran for Sporting KC, Graham Zusi has garnered MLS All-Star (20122015), MLS Best XI (2012-2013) and MLS Breakout Player of the Year (2011) honors in addition to receiving a 2012 MLS MVP nomination. The winger is the only MLS player with at least five goals and at least seven assists in each of the last four regular seasons.

He has earned Sporting KC MVP honors each of the last three years (twice a co-MVP) and has led the club in assists every year since 2011. He was named to the All-Star Fan XI ahead of the 2015 AT&T MLS All-Star Game on July 29 and is the only player to appear in each of the last four MLS All-Star games.

Zusi signed a long-term Designated Player contract with the team in July 2014. Since 2011, he is third in MLS with 386 chances created and second with 373 successful crosses/corners since 2011 (including playoffs). His 53 career assists in all competitions are third most in club history.

Zusi has earned 32 caps for the United States Men’s National Team since debuting in January 2012, recording three goals and six assists. He was on the U.S. roster for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, playing in all four matches at the tournament. In the group stage, he provided the game-winning assist in a 2-1 win over Ghana before adding another assist in a 2-2 draw with Portugal. He played in his first CONCACAF Gold Cup this summer, starting two matches as the U.S. finished in fourth place.
