#LAFCvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City hits the road this week when the team travels to the west coast to take on Los Angeles FC at Banc of California Stadium on Friday night. Sporting is unbeaten in six but are coming off a stretch of three consecutive draws. Friday’s match is the third and final clash of the regular season between SKC and LAFC. The two teams first met on June 26, 2021 at Children’s Mercy Park, with Sporting coming back from a goal down to claim all three points by a 2-1 scoreline. LAFC took the lead midway through the first half through Kim Moon-Hwan, which remained the only goal at the halftime interval. In the second half, first Daniel Salloi drew a red card on Tristan Blackmon before Alan Pulido equalized just minutes later with a low strike. Sporting dominated the rest of proceedings and found the winner in the 87th minute when Salloi curled into the side-netting. Sporting followed up that win with a stunning performance at Banc of California Stadium on Aug. 4, 2021. The visitors raced into a 3-0 halftime lead through goals from Pulido, Luis Martins and Salloi, before Gadi Kinda added a fourth early in the second period as Sporting ran out 4-1 winners. Sporting KC leads the all-time series between the two teams 4-2-0, with equal 2-1-0 records both at home and on the road. #LAFCvSKC: Recent Meetings (SKC leads 4-2-0 in regular season)

Sporting KC Game Notes | September 3, 2021 at Los Angeles FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

UNBEATEN MONTH OF AUGUST CONCLUDES

ROAD WARRIORS

Second-place Sporting Kansas City (11-4-7, 40 pts.) travels to take on 11th-place Los Angeles FC (6-9-6, 24 pts.) at Banc of California Stadium on Friday night, having just completed an unbeaten month of August in MLS regular-season play by going 2-0-4 though the side is coming off three straight draws against Portland (Aug. 18), Minnesota (Aug. 21) and Colorado (Aug. 28).

In 2021, Sporting Kansas City has flipped the typical script and become one of the best road teams in MLS. Through 11 matches away from Children’s Mercy Park, Sporting is 6-3-2, taking exactly half of their 40 total points on the road. Sporting is unbeaten in their last six road matches - just one match shy of the club record - having gone 4-0-2 since a 2-1 loss at the Portland on June 19. Since then, Sporting has posted four shutouts, scored 11 goals and conceded just twice. Sporting has posted shutouts in three straight road matches, one shy of tying the club record.

By completing the month of August without a league defeat, it marked just the fifth time ever that Sporting has finished a full month unbeaten in six regular season matches, and the first since July 2011. Sporting has also finished a month unbeaten in five regular season games on four previous occasions. Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Colorado was also the 19th point that Sporting has salvaged from a losing position in 2021 (five wins, four draws), five more than any other MLS club this season.

That run includes a 2-0 win at high-flying LA Galaxy, a 3-1 win that snapped a lengthy Seattle home unbeaten streak, a 4-1 thrashing at LAFC, a 0-0 draw at Colorado which snapped a lengthy Rapids home scoring streak, a 2-0 win at Dallas that snapped a lengthy home unbeaten streak and a 0-0 draw at Minnesota despite playing 69 minutes down a man.

Sporting’s hot run of form actually began much earlier than August and can be traced all the way back to mid-May. Dating back to May 15 - the fifth weekend of the 2021 MLS campaign - Sporting’s two losses are tied for the fewest in the league with the team going 9-2-6 in those 17 matches. Only Minnesota and Nashville can claim to have lost as few games in that timeframe.

Sporting’s 6-3-2 (20 pts.) road record is the third best in the league, only trailing Seattle Sounders’ 7-1-2 (23 pts.) record and New England’s 6-3-3 (21 pts.) record - incidentially the only two teams above Sporting in the Supporters’ Shield standings.

Also remaining intact is Sporting’s home scoring run, which now stands at a club-record 26 home games following Johnny Russell’s equalizer late in the first half last Saturday. Sporting were last shutout at home on July 20, 2019 in a 2-0 defeat against FC Dallas at Children’s Mercy Park in the midst of a forgettable season for the club.

RUSSELL RISING UP THE CHARTS

SKC JOY ON THE WEST COAST

Russell now has four goals from direct free kicks as a Sporting player, all of which have come over the last three seasons, ranking second in MLS during that time behind only Columbus Crew ace Lucas Zelarayan. LAFC’s Eduard Atuesta has scored three free kicks in that time frame, while nine players have scored two.

Sporting Kansas City forward Johnny Russell continued his fine summer form this past weekend, curling home a stunning free kick late in the first half to salvage a 1-1 draw with the Colorado Rapids at Children’s Mercy Park on Saturday night.

Sporting Kansas City returns to the West Coast for the sixth time this season this Friday night when the team takes on Los Angeles FC at Banc of California Stadium. Sporting has enjoyed their trips out west in 2021, going 4-1-0 in their previous five trips this year by posting wins over the San Jose Earthquakes (May 22), LA Galaxy (July 4), Seattle Sounders (July 25) and LAFC (Aug. 4).

Russell’s superb strike also moved him into a tie for ninth on Sporting’s all-time regular season goals chart. He and teammate Graham Zusi have bagged 29 goals apiece as the only active Kansas City players in the top 10. He trails Sporting icons Benny Feilhaber and Mo Johnston by two goals.

Friday’s match marks the third and final regular-season clash between Sporting and LAFC, with Sporting claiming both of the first two contests. LAFC visited Children’s Mercy Park on June 26 and took the lead through Kim Moon-Hwan in the first half, but after Tristan Blackmon was sent off, goals from Alan Pulido and Daniel Salloi spun the game on its head, resulting in a 2-1 SKC victory.

KINDA & SALLOI LINK UP WITH NATIONAL TEAMS

Sporting Kansas City midfielder Gadi Kinda (Israel) and forward Daniel Salloi (Hungary) each joined up with their respective national teams earlier this week ahead of 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifying.

Sporting then visited LAFC at Banc of California Stadium on Aug. 4, emerging as convincing 4-1 winners. A rip-roaring first half saw Sporting go into the interval with a 3-0 lead following goals from Pulido, Luis Martins and Salloi, before Gadi Kinda added a fourth shortly after the break. Danny Musovski tallied a late consolation for LAFC.

Kinda and Israel earned a 4-0 road victory over the Faroe Islands on Sept. 1 - with Kinda an unused substitute in the match - and are now set to host Austria on Sept. 4 and travel to Denmark on Sept. 7 in UEFA Group F of World Cup qualifying. Kinda has two caps for the senior Israeli side, having made his debut in a 3-1 friendly win over Montenegro in June, coming off the bench and firing him the third Israel goal. He made his first start against powerhouse Portugal four days later.

Sporting leads the all-time regular-season series 4-2-0, posting identical 2-1-0 marks both at home and on the road.

FONTAS SHOWING BEST XI FORM

Salloi has joined up with Hungary’s senior national team for the first time since 2018 as the Magyars prepare for World Cup qualifiers at home against England on Sept. 2, on the road at Albania on Sept. 5 and home against Andorra on Sept. 8. Salloi previously represented Hungary in 2019 UEFA Under-21 Championship qualifying, scoring once in four appearances from November 2017 to March 2018. He earned his first selection to Hungary’s senior team in September 2018 and was an unused substitute in UEFA Nations League matches against Greece and Finland.

Sporting Kansas City defender Andreu Fontas has been in fine form all the way throughout the 2021 season and was an unwelcome ommission from the 2021 MLS All-Star Team that faced off against Liga MX All-Stars last week. Fontas has flown under the radar despite arguably being the most influential MLS player to his team’s success this year, as Fontas has anchored the backline of a Sporting team that sits two points out of first place in the Western Conference with a dozen matches left to play.

POSTGAME PV

Thoughts on the 1-1 draw with Colorado: “They had a chance there at the end, for sure, but I’ll speak about us. We were good. We were really good. They made a lot of changes, too. They came out with the idea that they were going to go after us a little bit. I thought we were really, really good with the ball. I thought, in the first half, we were dangerous. I think, in the second half, we were much better in combination play in and around the final third. If one ball had just gone our way a little bit. Give them a lot of credit – they worked hard and they defended. I can’t say anything but great things about the guys’ effort and their commitment. It was a really high, high level performance today. Their attitude and their mentality and to play the way they did as long as they did was a heck of a performance from that perspective.”

American Soccer Analysis, a leading data tracker in soccer analytics, has developed a detailed formula called “goals added” that measures a player’s total on-ball contribution in attack and defense. It does this by calculating how much each touch changes their team’s chances of scoring and conceding across two possessions. It gives us an idea of how much the player helped their team’s chances of winning. Fontas leads Major League Soccer in 2021 with a goals added value of 3.68. That total is 0.57 higher than any other player and more than double the value of the eighth-ranked player on the list. • Fontas leads MLS in passes (1,729), successful passes (1,546) and touches (1,890) by a wide margin. • According to FBRef.com, Fontas ranks fourth in MLS with 141 progressive passes, and leads the league in progressive passing distance. • Fontas leads MLS with a successful pressure percentage of 42.0%, is 11th in MLS in clearances (80), ninth in headed clearances (41) and eighth among defenders in recoveries (136). • Fontas has won 80.7% of his tackles, placing fourth among MLS defenders with at least 1,000 minutes played this season. For context, the average tackle success clip for an MLS defender is 61.8%. Fontas has also won 56% of his duels.

On the takeaways from a game where Colorado nearly scored at the end: “We almost won with Johnny (Russell’s) ball as well. We could have stuck that away. We could have won last week at the death, as well. Those things happen. They’re aberrations in games. I’m talking about the way the game was from start to finish. When you play like we did with over 60 percent possession and 88 percent (passing) accuracy, we’re moving the ball, we’re creating chances. You give credit to other teams, too. You can’t just look and say, ‘They’re not playing well.’ They’re holding on for their lives at times trying to do everything they can to keep the ball out of the net. I always believe that we always get everybody’s A game. We for sure got their A game today.”

Sporting KC Game Notes | September 3, 2021 at Los Angeles FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes Manager & Sporting Director | 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 in his 13th season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2021 and is the longest-tenured active head coach in MLS. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 201 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 regularseason standings in 2011 and 2012, as well as the Western Conference in 2018 and 2020. 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 166 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 464 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 13 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 eighth 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, Sporting Kansas City II (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.

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
