SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs HOUSTON DYNAMO SPORTING PARK, Kansas City, Kan. Aug. 29, 2014 (WEEK 25, MLS Game #232)

7 p.m. CT (NBCSN)

Familiar playoff foes, Sporting Kansas City and the Houston Dynamo meet for the second time this season with the clubs having very different outlooks, as they clash Friday evening at Sporting Park before an NBC Sports Network audience. Sporting fell out of the top spot in the East last weekend, following a 3-0 home loss to D.C. United, who moved into the point position. The Dynamo suffered their seventh consecutive defeat away from home, dropping a 3-0 decision at the Columbus Crew, leaving them five points out of the final playoff position in the conference.

Soony Saad and Dom Dwyer netted goals in Sporting KC’s 2-0 victory, June 6 at BBVA Compass Stadium.  In league play, the last three meetings at Sporting Park have ended in draws. Sporting has come away with points on their last three league visits to BBVA Compass Stadium, with two wins and a draw.  The teams have met each of the last three years in the MLS Cup Playoffs, with Sporting winning the Eastern Conference Championship matchup a year ago 2-1 on aggregate. The Dynamo had advanced each of the two previous years, including in 2011 at Sporting Park with a trip to MLS Cup on the line.  Coaches record: Peter Vermes vs. HOU: P12 W4 L2 D6… Dominic Kinnear vs. KC: P21 W8 L3 D10 LAST MEETING (MLS)  Sporting went a man down in the 21st minute when Toni Dovale was sent off by referee Juan Guzman for an apparent off-the-ball elbow against Dynamo midfielder Alex Lopez.  But the visitors took the lead just before the halftime break. Just minutes after clearing a ball off the line, Dynamo defender Eric Brunner miscontrolled the ball on the edge of his box and it fell to Soony Saad, who coolly stroked a low shot into the far corner.  Sporting doubled their despite the manpower disadvantage in the 70th minute after rookie center back A.J. Cochran was adjudged to have handled in the penalty area and Dom Dwyer converted the spot kick.  HOUSTON DYNAMO (4-2-3-1): Tyler Deric - Kofi Sarkodie, David Horst (Eric Brunner 9 / Warren Creavalle 57), A.J. Cochran, Jermaine Taylor - Alexander Lopez, Servando Carrasco - Omar Cummings (Jason Johnson 68), Giles Barnes, Andrew Driver - Will Bruin.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Eric Kronberg - Igor Juliao (Jacob Peterson 46), Erik Palmer-Brown, Kevin Ellis, Seth Sinovic - Lawrence Olum - Benny Feilhaber (Sal Zizzo 46), Paulo Nagamura (Alex Martinez 7) - Antonio Dovale (ejected 21), Dom Dwyer, Soony Saad. SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City suffered their second loss in three matches in a matchup of the top two in the Eastern Conference, falling 3-0 to D.C. United on Saturday evening at Sporting Park. Sporting are in second place in the Eastern Conference with 42 points from 25 games. LAST MATCH  The game's three goals came in a seven-minute span right at the half-hour mark. United opened the scoring in the 24th minute when Fabian Espindola took Luis Silva's pass, found space at the top left of Kansas City's penalty area, and slotted a low shot just past a diving Jon Kempin and inside the far post.

MLS GAME INFORMATION



The visitors doubled the lead just four minutes later, again with an assist to Silva. Chris Rolfe made a perfectlytimed run to slip behind Sporting's back line, finishing his 1-v-1 past Kempin from the top of the box.  Three minutes after that, it was 3-0. This time, it was Rolfe's turn to play provider, his through ball springing Perry Kitchen with plenty of space to operate behind the back line. He drove into the upper left of the penalty area, made a quick cutback to avoid charging center back Aurelien Collin, and slotted the ball near post.  Sporting manager Peter Vermes made no changes to the team that rolled to a 4-1 win against Toronto FC at Sporting Park.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Jon Kempin - Igor Juliao, Aurelien Collin, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic Lawrence Olum - Graham Zusi, Benny Feilhaber (Claudio Bieler 70) - Sal Zizzo (C.J. Sapong 37), Dom Dwyer, Soony Saad (Antonio Dovale 79). TEAM NEWS  Sporting suffered their heaviest home defeat since the 2010 season in the loss to D.C. United, conceding three goals in a game for the first time this season.  “There's been a lot of credit given to our back four over a long period of time. But the way that they performed tonight, they also are going to get some credit, too – and that's for giving up three goals,” SKC manager Peter Vermes said. “ … The number of goals that we've given up in our place, and the way we gave them up – and we've done this a couple of times now, not a number of them, but different counterattack-type goals like this.”  Said defender Matt Besler: “I'm not going to stand here and get into tactics too much. We gave up three goals. We gave up three breakaways at home, and it's unacceptable.”  Goalkeeper Jon Kempin suffered the loss for the first time since taking over the No. 1 goalkeeping duties with injuries to Andy Gruenebaum and Eric Kronberg.  “Give them credit, they made us pay and finished their chances. But we weren't good enough tonight. We knew what to expect from them, and at times we made it easy for them. We were sloppy in our distribution; we were caught out of position. Like I said, we want the next game to come fast because this just isn't acceptable,” Besler said.  For the first time this season, Vermes ran out the same starting XI in back-to-back league games. Seven of the starters had also been in the first team at midweek in the CONCACAF Champions League match at Real Estelí of Nicaragua, a 1-1 draw.  “D.C. was good on three counters, which our back four was absolutely horrendous on. It's one of those days where they came down on three routine plays and they scored three goals because of the way we were organized at the back,” Vermes said. “… But this has nothing to do with playing against Real Estelí.”  Claudio Bieler made a second consecutive substitute appearance, coming off the bench for the final 20 minutes, after not featuring in 12 consecutive league matches from May 23.  Sporting were shut out at the attacking end for the second time in three matches, and the sixth time this season. It was their second blanking at Kansas City, the first coming in a scoreless draw April 5 vs. Real Salt Lake.  “It's been a strange year. It's not like we've gone out with our consistent style, and there have been a lot of disruptions. So it's a difficult thing to evaluate,” Vermes said. “I couldn't care less about the games up until (the last one). This is the one I have to evaluate.” HOUSTON DYNAMO The Houston Dynamo saw their club-record road losing streak hit seven matches, falling 3-0 to the Columbus Crew on Saturday evening at Crew Stadium. The Dynamo are in ninth place in the Eastern Conference with 25 points from 24 games. LAST MATCH  The Crew took the lead after 35 minutes. Justin Meram benefitted from a poor touch from a Houston defender and gathered the ball near the top of the penalty box, then took a few touches before firing a left-footed shot past goalkeeper Tally Hall.  The lead was doubled in the 59th minute as Meram this time played provider. Cleaning up a long corner, Meram turned and swung in a perfectly placed cross to the head of Adam Bedell, who outmuscled his marker and glanced a header past a helpless Hall and into the far corner.  Columbus added a third goal in the 64th minute, when fullback Waylon Francis found streaking substitute Aaron Schoenfeld with a perfect cross to head home from the heart of the area to seal the match.  Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear made one change to the team that defeated Philadelphia Union 2-0 at BBVA Compass Stadium. Corey Ashe came in at left back in place of DaMarcus Beasley.  HOUSTON DYNAMO (4-4-2): Tally Hall - Kofi Sarkodie, Jermaine Taylor, David Horst, Corey Ashe - Boniek Garcia (Andrew Driver 71), Luis Garrido (Brian Ownby 61), Ricardo Clark, Brad Davis (Jason Johnson 83) Giles Barnes, Will Bruin.

The Dynamo had their club-record road losing streak extended to seven games in the loss at Columbus. The Dynamo are 1-10-1 on their travels, having scored just seven road goals, fewest in MLS this season. The Dynamo have conceded the opening goal 13 times this season, tied for fifth-most in the league. But they have won just once after allowing the opening goal, their .077 winning percentage better than just the Montréal Impact (0-11-1, .042). “I thought up until the goal we looked pretty good,” Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear said. “I thought that first goal took the wind out of us.” After starting three consecutive matches at left back following his acquisition, DaMarcus Beasley did not feature against the Crew after suffering hamstring tightness. Corey Ashe made his first start since July 20, coming back into the back four at left back to replace Beasley. “I don’t think there’s anything anyone could question Corey about,” said forward Giles Barnes. “Ever since the day he knew he might not be starting he’s been out here working and doing his thing and that’s Corey all over. I can’t praise Corey enough. He’s a good player as well. He’s accepted what’s happened, and he’s working hard day-in-and-day-out.” Beasley had not returned to full training sessions as the buildup to the Sporting match began. “He’s out as of now and we’ll see,” Kinnear said. “He went out jogging [Monday], and we have until Friday to see if he can play or not. [Corey’s] training well, and when he’s been asked to play he’s ready. He’s been very professional about it.” The Dynamo were shut out at the attacking end for a 10th time this season, nine of those coming away from BBVA Compass Stadium. The New York Red Bulls were shut out 12 times in away matches in 2009 when they set the MLS record for fewest goals scored in road games for the season (3). “I don’t think it was one thing in particular,” Kinnear said. “I don’t think we had a good night. They played pretty well, and you give them credit for that.”

sporting kc news & notes Besler and Zusi sign Designated Player contracts with Sporting KC Sporting KC signed defender Matt Besler and midfielder Graham Zusi to longterm Designated Player contracts on July 19.

Sporting KC news & Notes (continued) Kempin continues strong month of August

Eastern Conference foes rekindle rivalry at Sporting Park

In the last four weeks, homegrown goalkeeper Jon Kempin has earned MVP honors of the inaugural MLS Homegrown Game, made his League debut, become Sporting KC’s youngest ever starting keeper and posted two Save of the Week nominations.

Since 2011, Sporting KC and the Houston Dynamo have developed one of the fiercest rivalries in MLS. The clubs have met in each of the last three postseasons, with Houston eliminating Sporting KC in 2011 and 2012 before Peter Vermes’ men prevailed in the 2013 Eastern Conference Championship.

Kempin, the club’s first Homegrown player upon signing in 2010 at age 17, made his MLS debut in the second half of Sporting KC’s 2-0 loss at the Vancouver Whitecaps on Aug. 10. Replacing the injured Andy Gruenebaum at halftime, he marked his first League appearance with a penalty kick save – and MLS Save of the Week winner – against Darren Mattocks in the 84th minute. The Leawood, Kansas native followed up with another Save of the Week nominee in a 4-1 win over Toronto FC on Aug. 16, denying Gilberto in the 51st minute with Sporting KC up a goal. In his CONCACAF Champions League debut on Tuesday, Kempin made a pivotal save in the 81st minute to keep his team level with Real Esteli as the match ended 1-1.

Winners of two MLS Cups each, Sporting KC and Houston have met 15 times over the last four seasons in all competitions, including five playoff tilts and one U.S. Open Cup qualification match in 2011. Sporting KC holds a 6-3-6 edge during this period and are unbeaten against the Dynamo in seven straight matches dating back to July 2012.

With Gruenebaum’s status day-to-day (shoulder muscle strain) and first-string keeper Eric Kronberg still out (hand fracture), Kempin has assumed the role of Sporting KC’s No. 1 keeper for the last four matches in all competitions. The fifth-year professional most recently joined the United States U-21 Men’s National Team in April and has also trained with the U.S. U-23 National Team.

Forward Dom Dwyer is second in MLS with 16 goals and has climbed into second place on the club’s all-time single season scoring chart. With nine League matches remaining, he needs three more goals to pass Preki’s single season record of 18 set in 1996.

Injuries and international duty test Sporting KC’s depth Through 25 games in the 2014 MLS regular season, Sporting KC has featured 24 different starting lineups. Peter Vermes’ lineup selection has been complicated by several factors throughout the year. In March, the club had to balance multiple competitions during the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals. In May, schedule congestion came to the forefront with seven MLS games during the month. More recently, goalkeepers Eric Kronberg and Andy Gruenebaum suffered injuries, giving Jon Kempin his first MLS start for the club. To complicate matters, Chance Myers and Ike Opara have suffered seasonending injuries; Matt Besler, Graham Zusi and Lawrence Olum have seen extended international action; and Erik Palmer-Brown and Aurelien Collin have served one-game suspensions, with the latter also picking up a minor injury. As a result, 29 different players have started an MLS match for the club this season, a team record and most in the League. Of those 29 players, 12 were 23 years of age or younger at the start of the season. The club’s defense has been stretched most of all, with eight different players featuring in the centerback position during the 2014 campaign. Overall, 30 players have appeared for the club in an MLS match this year, tied for most in 2014 with Chivas USA.

Gruenebaum makes history as Sporting KC’s starting goalkeeper Goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum became just the second goalkeeper in MLS history (Jorge Campos, 1996 LA Galaxy) to earn regulation wins in each of his first four regulation appearances for a new club. He has a 4-1-1 record since replacing injured Eric Kronberg on July 12. Gruenebaum began his 2014 MLS campaign with a 2-1 win at Montreal, then notched three more 2-1 victories against the Columbus Crew (July 16), LA Galaxy (July 19) and Toronto FC (July 26) as Sporting KC surged atop the Eastern Conference standings. The Overland Park, Kansas native previously made 82 MLS appearances for the Crew (including postseason) from 2006-2013.

League pool goalkeeper Tim Melia joins Sporting KC Sporting KC announced on Aug. 13 that League pool goalkeeper Tim Melia has joined the club. A five-year veteran of MLS, Melia played two seasons with Real Salt Lake (2010-2011) before signing with Chivas USA (2012-2014). Over that span, the 28-year-old made six MLS appearances while also playing on loan for the Charleston Battery and FC New York. Melia arrives in Kansas City due to injuries to Eric Kronberg and Andy Gruenebaum. Kronberg fractured the fourth metacarpal bone on his left hand in July and is in the midst of an eight-week recovery, while Gruenebaum strained his supraspinatus in the team’s most recent match and is day-to-day.

The 15 competitive meetings between Sporting KC and Houston since 2011 make it the most-played matchup among all MLS teams over the last four years.

Dwyer chasing club’s single season scoring record

Both of Dwyer’s goals against Toronto FC on Aug. 16 came from the penalty spot, where he is now six-for-six on the season after becoming the first player in club history to successfully convert two penalty kicks in an MLS match. Dwyer’s six successful penalties are now second most in team history and fourth most in a single-season by an MLS player all-time. The brace against Toronto was Dwyer’s fifth of the season, most in MLS this year and third on the club’s career charts. Remarkably, all five of those multigoal games have come against Canadian opposition (three vs. Montreal, two vs. Toronto). Only six MLS players have recorded more multi-goal games in a season over the League’s 19-year history. In a victory at Montreal on July 12, Dwyer became one of only 10 players in MLS history to score six or more regular season goals against the same opponent in a single year and the first to do so in the League’s expansion era (2005-present).

Spot on for Sporting KC Dom Dwyer’s six consecutive penalty kick conversions in 2014 continues a recent trend for the MLS champions from the penalty spot. The club has now scored on 13 straight attempts dating back to 2012 -- the longest active streak in MLS -- and has proven successful on 26 of their last 27 penalty kicks dating back to 2007. In addition, the club secured the 2012 U.S. Open Cup and 2013 MLS Cup in penalty shootout wins.

Sporting KC kicks off 2014-15 CONCACAF Champions League campaign Sporting KC battled to a 1-1 draw against Real Esteli FC on Aug. 19 in their opening game of the 2014-15 CONCACAF Champions League at Estadio Independencia in Esteli, Nicaragua. The defending MLS Cup champions will now return home for back-to-back CCL matches at Sporting Park, hosting Saprissa on Thursday, Sept. 18 and Esteli on Tuesday, Sept. 23. Both matches will kick off at 7 p.m. CT. Sporting KC will conclude the group stage on Thursday, Oct. 23 at Saprissa. Esteli and Saprissa kicked off Group 2 action on Aug. 6, battling to a 1-1 draw in Nicaragua. The team with the most points at the conclusion of the CCL group stage will advance to the quarterfinal round in early 2015. Sporting KC advanced to the 2013-14 quarterfinals in March against Mexican club and eventual champion Cruz Azul, losing 5-2 on aggregate. Deportivo Saprissa has won three CONCACAF Champions Cup titles (1993, 1995 and 2005) and won their 30th league title in May to become the most successful club in the history of the Costa Rican Primera Division. Real Esteli, the defending Clausura and Apertura champions in their domestic league, are the only Nicaraguan side to have participated in the competition and have qualified every year since the 2008-09 edition.

Sporting KC news & Notes (continued) Sporting Park sellout streak

Sporting KC a consistent contender in MLS

Sporting Park has sold out 49 straight MLS matches, including four playoff games. The last time Sporting KC didn’t play in front of a sellout was March 25, 2012. Since opening in June 2011, the venue has sold out 62 of 70 MLS games and averaged 19,320 spectators, 104.6 percent of its 18,467 capacity.

Since the beginning of 2011, Sporting KC has the third best aggregate regular season record and the best road record of all MLS teams. During this time period, Sporting KC is the only team to win both the MLS Cup (2013) and U.S. Open Cup (2012). It is also the only club with multiple regular season conference titles (2011, 2012).

Through 13 MLS matches of the 2014 home campaign, Sporting Park’s average attendance is 20,160. The stadium’s 109.2 percent capacity this season ranks first in the League (excluding CenturyLink Field in Seattle, where official capacity is 38,500 but expands to 67,000 for select matches).

Paying the penalty Sporting KC has earned and conceded six penalty kicks each through 25 matches this year, both tied for second most in the club’s single season history. This follows a League-wide trend, as referees have frequently pointed to the spot in 2014. As of Aug. 26, 103 penalty kicks have been awarded through 230 games (0.45 per game). The whole 2013 regular season had 81 penalties (0.25 per game), while the 2012 campaign had 72 penalties (0.22 per game).

DYNAMO VISIT KANSAS CITY FOR CLASH WITH EAST RIVAL The Houston Dynamo (7‐13‐4; 25 points) travel to face Sporting Kansas City (12‐7‐6; 42 points) on Friday at Sporting Park in Kansas City.

HOUSTON VS. KANSAS CITY The Dynamo are 6‐5‐8 all‐time in regular season games against Sporting Kansas City, including a 3‐2‐4 mark in road games. The Eastern Conference rivals played 10 games from 2012‐13, including four playoff games. In the first meeting this year, June 6 at BBVA Compass Stadium, Sporting KC lost Antonio Dovale to a red card in the 21st minute but earned a 2‐0 road win behind goals from Soony Saad and Dom Dwyer (penalty). The clubs met in the postseason for the third straight season in 2013 and Sporting KC secured a 2‐1 aggregate series win in the Eastern Conference Championship. After a scoreless first leg in Houston, SKC registered a 2‐1 win in the second leg at Sporting Park last November. Boniek Garcia delivered the Dynamo a 1‐0 lead in the third minute, but C.J.

DYNAMO NOTES Dynamo fall at Columbus: Justin Meram, Adam Bedell and Aaron Schoenfeld each scored as the Houston Dynamo fell to the Columbus Crew, 3‐0, on Saturday at Crew Stadium. Houston nearly opened the scoring through Will Bruin in the 18th minute. Bruin intercepted a pass from Wil Trapp in midfield and raced to the top of the box before firing on goal as Columbus goalkeeper Steve Clark charged to the top of the area and slid to make the vital block. The Crew seized a 1‐0 lead in the 35th minute. Dynamo defender David Horst lost control of a pass in middle of the field and Meram collected the ball, cut to his left, and buried his chance from 15 yards for a 1‐0 lead. The Dynamo created a scoring chance from a set piece in the 42nd minute. Brad Davis quickly delivered a bending service from the left flank and Horst beat his marker but could not test Clark with a diving header from 12 yards. Columbus doubled its lead in the 59th minute when a corner kick was collected on the opposite side of the field by Meram, who whipped a cross from the sideline toward the front of goal and Bedell fought to head home from six yards for a 2‐0 lead. The Crew capped the scoring five minutes later as Ethan Finlay fed Waylon Francis on the left flank and the Costa Rican defender delivered a good service to the middle of the penalty area where Schoenfeld drove a header inside the near post for the final goal.

We have watched him for a few years in the CONCACAF Champions League and World Cup qualifiers, and he showed well in the World Cup. We think he is a player that will fit in with the way we play; it’s a good opportunity to bring him here.” Garrido made his professional debut with Juticalpa FC in 2007 before transferring to Honduran powerhouse C.D. Olimpia, with whom he played with current Dynamo midfielders Boniek Garcia and Alexander Lopez. Garrido also spent a portion of 2013 on loan with Red Star Belgrade in the Serbian SuperLiga.

Beasley has 22 career UEFA Champions League appearances, the most in U.S. national team history. Beasley is also the only American to score in the Champions League with two teams (Rangers and PSV Eindhoven). “I am thrilled that DaMarcus will be joining our club,” said Dynamo president Chris Canetti. “It’s exciting to have a player with such decorated credentials here with us.
