SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES
Gianluca Busio 2 1 0
Sporting leads the all-time regular-season series 7-4-4 and has enjoyed a perfect 6-0-0 mark in MLS regular-season matches against Minnesota held at Children’s Mercy Park. Sporting has outscored the Loons 15-1 on home patch and are heading into Saturday’s contest on the back of four straight home wins since the start of August.
Daniel Salloi 2 0 0
Shelton was already off the mark across all competitions in 2022, having scored twice in the club’s U.S. Open Cup campaign - once in the Round of 32 against FC Dallas on May 10, and again in the Quarterfinal victory over Union Omaha on June 22.
SPORTING KC STARTERS AT CENTER FORWARD SINCE START OF 2020
Sporting Kansas City goalkeeper Kendall McIntosh enjoyed an MLS debut to remember on Tuesday night, making two saves on his way to posting a clean sheet in the 3-0 victory over D.C. United at Children’s Mercy Park. McIntosh, 28, had to wait six years to make his MLS debut, having previously been on the books of the Portland Timbers (2017-2019) and the New York Red Bulls (2020) before joining Sporting ahead of the 2021 campaign.
The club now has three matches remaining to try to stay alive in the playoff picture. Sporting currently sits nine points out of the seventh and final spot for a postseason berth, and would have to win out to stand any chance of sneaking into the playoffs.

On Khiry Shelton’s first regular season goal:
Sporting
Sporting Kansas City remains at home this weekend for the team’s penultimate home match at Children’s Mercy Park in 2022 when Minnesota United FC pays a visit to Kansas City for the first time in approximately a year.
Sporting Kansas City forward Khiry Shelton got the monkey off his back during Tuesday’s 3-0 victory over D.C. United at Children’s Mercy Park, scoring his first MLS goal of the campaign after a difficult season.
The 21-year-old is Sporting’s second-youngest goalscorer in 2022 after Marinos Tzionis scored against Portland as a 20-year-old on May 14. Voloder arrived at Sporting KC this past offseason as a U-22 initative signing from Slovenian powerhouse NK Maribor where he had been a regular starter over the previous year.
Not only did Voloder successfully shackle former Premier League star Christian Benteke, he also scored his first goal for the club to make the score 2-0 in the 70th minute. Erik Thommy’s corner was only half-cleared by the D.C. backline and the ball fell invitingly to the German, who showed his composure by taking a touch and unleashing a fierce halfvolley that beat goalkeeper David Ochoa before he had a chance to react.
Khiry Shelton 32 4 6
Minnesota last visited Children’s Mercy Park on Sept. 15, 2021 and were dispatched emphatically by a dominant Sporting KC side that ran out 4-0 winners. Khiry Shelton headed the hosts into an early lead before Daniel Salloi and Russell made it 3-0 before the halftime interval. Shortly after the break, Cam Duke made it 4-0 to complete the rout.
Johnny Russell 2 1 0
Usually deployed as a winger, Shelton has been asked to play center forward throughout the 2022 season with Designated Player Alan Pulido sidelined for the entire campaign following knee surgery. Shelton’s strike, which stood as the game-winner on Tuesday, came in his 22nd appearance (15th start) of the MLS season. Shelton now has 14 goals and 16 assists in all competitions for the club.

ELIMINATION SCENARIOS
MCINTOSH POSTS SHUTOUT ON MLS DEBUT
Sporting Kansas City has been hanging on by a thread in their chase for a berth in the MLS Cup Playoffs over the last few months, and there is an possibility that the dream mathematically comes to an end on Saturday night.
Sporting and Minnesota faced off earlier this season at Allianz Field in St. Paul on July 13, 2022. Sporting started brightly but it was Minnesota that earned a fortuitous lead after Andreu Fontas cleared the ball off the back of goalkeeper John Pulskamp and into the back of the net, resulting in an own goal to give the Loons a halftime lead. Midway through the second half, Sporting pulled level with a composed finish from Johnny Russell, leaving the two sides to take a point apiece following the 1-1 draw.
With the victory, Sporting now has three goalkeepers to all record a victory and a shutout this season (Tim Melia - 5 wins, 4 shutouts ... John Pulskamp - 3 wins, 2 shutouts ... Kendall McIntosh - 1 win, 1 shutout). It’s the first time in club history that three goalkeepers have recorded a shutout in the same MLS regular season.

CENTER FORWARD GS GLS AST
“I always go into every game thinking that we’re going to win no matter who I put on the field. I think one of the tough things, being in Kendall’s position, is when I, the coach, change the group in front of a goalkeeper that’s coming into play. Sometimes there’s a lack of continuity, but I thought the guys did a good job in the first half. I only made the changes I made just because I wanted to keep - especially up the middle - fresh for the group. I knew that it would be a lot of work, especially coming in from the last game over the weekend. It was very humid and hot there and we exhausted a lot of energy. The group played very well. Kendall comes up with a great save on (Christian) Benteke. If that goes 2-1, now the game changes a little bit and they start getting excited. That was a huge save. That’s what you want your goalkeeper to do. I also think that his decision making with the ball - at times when he threw it, when he played it long - was calm. It was very good, but it’s also his personality. Sometimes what you don’t see in players is you don’t know what’s going to come out when they play in a game. I was very proud to see that who he is normally came out in the game today and that was good. I’m happy for him.”
“He works hard and it’s definitely not for a lack of trying. Sometimes you go through a rough patch, but he keeps fighting and he always fights for the team and all the guys know that he’s going to put everything he has into the game. He wants to score. Sometimes they don’t fall his way, but tonight he found himself in a good position. He gets there because he worked to get there and it was opportunistic. You’ve got to change the direction of a ball sometimes and he did that enough to make the goalkeeper hesitate. It’s good for him.”
HOSTING MINNESOTA IN PENULTIMATE HOME MATCH
Sporting Kansas City extended the club’s unbeaten run to five games following Tuesday night’s dominant 3-0 victory over D.C. United at Children’s Mercy Park. Sporting has now gone 3-0-2 in their last five matches and 4-1-2 in their last seven, picking up well over a third of the team’s points on the season over the last seven games. Sporting has also won four home games in a row since the start of August, coming directly after a dismal streak where the team lost five consecutive home matches from May 28-July 30.
Nikola Vujnovic 4 0 0
Sporting has work to do this season not only to stand a chance of making the postsea son, but also to avoid finishing dead last in MLS for the first time in club history. SKC is currently in fourth-to-last place in the overall standings, seven points ahead of D.C. United with nine points left to play for.

After the match, Manager Peter Vermes stated that McIntosh “got his chance because he deserves it.” The Santa Rosa, Calif. native repaid Vermes’ faith by making a brilliant stop on Christian Benteke with the score 2-0 in Sporting’s favor, leading to McIntosh becoming the first Sporting KC player to record a clean sheet in his first career MLS start since Sporting Legend Jimmy Nielsen on March 27, 2010.

Director of Sports Performance & Science | Joey Harty
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.
With over 14 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 126 leagues in the world as denoted by the CIES Football Observatory, Vermes’ tenure at Sporting KC ranks as the fifth longest active run.
Vermes joined Kansas City in 2000 for what would be the most successful season 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.
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 Figueres of the Spanish Second Division.
a standout high school career in which he was named New Jersey Player of the Year, Vermes was a star forward and All-American at Rutgers University. After college, Vermes represented the United States in the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea, and was named 1988 Chevrolet U.S. Male Soccer Athlete of the Year for his efforts.

Assistant Coach Zoran Savic 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.
