Teal Bunbury and Lee Nguyen each scored in secondhalf stoppage time as the Revolution took a 2-0 victory, April 26 at Gillette Stadium. The Revolution victory ended a six-game Sporting undefeated streak in league play, and the goals were the first in 592 minutes against SKC, their first scored in the series since July 30, 2011. New England haven’t won in Kansas City since 2008, a 3-1 win April 9. Sporting have six wins in eight home matches in all competitions since, with two draws. The teams met in a thrilling Eastern Conference Semifinal Series a year ago. After the Revolution won 2-1 at Gillette Stadium in the first leg, they pushed Sporting to extra time in the return match, before SKC took a 3-1 victory on their to an eventual MLS Cup championship.

But two minutes into second-half stoppage time, Diego Fagundez whipped in a long pass from out of the right and Teal Bunbury swooped in to redirect it into the goal. Two minutes later, a handball was called on Sporting midfielder Oriol Rosell as the Revs raced into the box on a 2-on-1. Lee Nguyen buried the penalty shot, his second in as many weeks, to seal the victory. NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION (4-4-2): Bobby Shuttleworth - Darrius Barnes, A.J.

MLS GAME INFORMATION
NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION The New England Revolution won their second consecutive game by shutout, easing to a 3-0 win against Toronto FC on Saturday afternoon at BMO Field. The Revolution are in a tie for third place in the Eastern Conference with 33 points from 25 games. LAST MATCH The Revolution had the lead after just the second minute. When fullback Mark Bloom misplaced a pass towards Michael Bradley, Lee Nguyen pounced at the chance, pushing forward towards the box and cracking a rocket of a shot past TFC goalkeeper Joe Bendik. In the 21st minute, New England punished Toronto’s makeshift back line once more. Bradley Orr’s pass forward was intercepted by Kelyn Rowe, who cut in from the left wing before hitting a curling, dipping shot past Bendik from outside the box. The scoreline was complete in the 59th minute. From a counter, Charlie Davies picked up a through ball and pushed through the Toronto back line, before slipping a pass into the box that Teal Bunbury finished with ease. Revolution head coach Jay Heaps made two changes to the team that defeated Chivas USA 1-0 at Gillette Stadium. Teal Bunbury came into the midfield in place of Diego Fagundez. NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION (4-1-4-1): Bobby Shuttleworth - Andrew Farrell, Jose Goncalves, A.J. Soares, Darrius Barnes - Scott Caldwell - Teal Bunbury (Steve Neumann 65), Daigo Kobayashi (Jermaine Jones 65), Lee Nguyen (Diego Fagundez 76), Kelyn Rowe - Charlie Davies. TEAM NEWS It was a second win in a row for the Revolution, the first consecutive wins they’ve put together since winning five in a row April 26-May 24. “We started very well; we wanted to be in a good spot defensively. Our shape was really good to start the game and the 2 goals in the first half came from our positioning,” said Heaps. “... Each team is different how you play them so we pivoted our triangle a little bit to put pressure on certain players. Toronto has had some backline injuries and that is tough to deal with; part of our plan was to put them under pressure early.” It was a second consecutive clean sheet and a third in the last five games for the Revolution, who have not conceded a goal in 205 minutes. “We have to give credit to our defense as they have done very well the past couple games,” said Nguyen. “Offensively, we put away our chances and we were able to get a big three points.” Lee Nguyen scored for a second consecutive game and added an assist, moving his single-season career-high to 10 goals. He had nine goals total in his first two seasons in MLS. “Lee has been excellent for us all year. The harder he works and the more plays he breaks up, it gives him the freedom to attack. When he is at his best he is receiving the ball off of turnovers in between their defense and midfield,” said Heaps. Teal Bunbury scored his first goal since May 11, scoring his third goal of the season. Bunbury’s previous two goals came in a three-game span. Charlie Davies collected his second assist of the season. He has all of his two goals and two assists this year over the last five matches. He played a full 90 minutes for the first time since Oct. 2, 2011. Kelyn Rowe scored his second goal in the last five matches, and also collected an assist for a second consecutive game. “We took advantage of some mistakes that they had,” said Rowe. “Lee’s first goal was amazing and it started us off. Charlie [Davies] made some good runs, he held the ball up nicely.” Jermaine Jones made his MLS and Revolution debut, coming on for the final 25 minutes in a central midfield role. “I was happy to be back on the pitch in a game,” said Jones. “It’s always good when you get the minutes and you win them. Everybody was great today. ... I was talking to the coach before. We wanted to go step-by-step. It was a long break for me and I can feel it. I need time on the pitch, of course. Today was 25 minutes, next game a little bit longer, but I will try my best to be 100 percent fast.” SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City lost for a second match on the trot, dropping a 3-1 decision to the Houston Dynamo on Friday evening at Sporting Park. Sporting are in second place in the Eastern Conference with 42 points from 26 games. LAST MATCH After a weather delay of more than an hour at the 17th minute, the Dynamo took the lead in the 35th minute. Kofi Sarkodie put in a cross from the right flank that SKC center back Aurelien Collin was unable to clear, teeing up Will Bruin for a finish past goalkeeper Jon Kempin from just behind the penalty spot. Sporting equalized in the 55th minute. A through ball out of traffic by C.J. Sapong's found Benny Feilhaber just outside the area, and he drove in and centered a pass for Dom Dwyer to knock past goalkeeper Tally Hall with the help of a deflection.
MLS GAME INFORMATION
But seven minutes later Houston regained the lead. From a foul just outside the penalty area, Dynamo center back David Horst was left completely unmarked in the heart of the penalty area and rose to head home a Brad Davis free kick. Five minutes after that, it was 3-1 after another set-piece header. This time it was Ricardo Clark who ran onto Davis' free kick and headed it past Kempin and inside the left post. Sporting manager Peter Vermes made three changes to the team that fell 3-0 to D.C. United at Sporting Park. Kevin Ellis came into the back four for Igor Juliao, and Martin Steuble and C.J. Sapong started in place of Sal Zizzo and Soony Saad. SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Jon Kempin - Kevin Ellis, Aurelien Collin, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic Lawrence Olum - Martin Steuble (Jorge Claros 66), Benny Feilhaber (Soony Saad 68) - C.J. Sapong, Dom Dwyer, Graham Zusi. TEAM NEWS Sporting have lost back-to-back league games for just the second time this season after the defeat by Houston, after losing May 14-18 to Philadelphia and Chicago that started a five-game winless run. “We're in a rough patch right now,” center back Matt Besler said. “It's as simple as that. We have to find a way to get out of it. We can talk about a lot of different things, but the bottom line is, we have to come together and figure a way out of it. That's not what we're about, the last two games.” Sporting also conceded three goals for a second consecutive match, their season-high for goals allowed in a game this year. They had not allowed more than two goals in their first 24 league games. “It's not major things that are happening in the game. They're soft goals. They were three soft goals and it's the same as it was last week,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes. “I've been in situation where this has happened away before. You cannot hide away from it. We'll review video. These guys will see it and know it and they'll have to own up to it. They'll just have to work harder. Everybody sees everything nowadays so it's very difficult to hide away.” Dom Dwyer scored his 17th goal of the season, his third goal in the last three games. Dwyer is one goal away from the single-season club record, set in 1996 when Preki scored 18 goals for the then-Kansas City Wizards. Dwyer will miss out on the New England match through caution accumulation. Martin Steuble made his first MLS for Sporting, playing 66 minutes in a central midfield role. Steuble had one appearance as a very late substitute Aug. 1 vs. Philadelphia. “We've had different guys step up all year when others have been out. This game will be more of that. But we've got to be stronger across the board,” defender Seth Sinovic said. Benny Feilhaber collected his sixth assist of the season, his first since July 16. He one assist from his singleseason career-high in MLS, when he had seven assists with New England in 2011. After two starts in the midfield, Graham Zusi started the match in a wide attacking role. But he reverted back to the midfield spot at the three-quarter mark when Soony Saad came on for Feilhaber. “In the first 16 minutes of the game [Feilhaber] had turned his ankle. But at that point, I needed to change the team,” said Vermes. “I thought Graham in the middle might give us a little bit more going forward. So I thought bringing Soony on, someone who can score more goals, would be dangerous going forward in that area of the field.” Kevin Ellis returned to the starting lineup for the first time in four matches as Igor Juliao did not feature in a match for the first time since May 10. [Juliao] had a bit of a hamstring strain and we just didn't want to force it because we have a big trip on the road coming up,” said Vermes.

LAST MEETING New England 2, Sporting Kansas City 0 April 26, 2014 – Gillette Stadium (Foxborough, Mass.) Teal Bunbury and Lee Nguyen each scored in second-half stoppage time to give the Revs a 2-0 win over Sporting KC. The game burst to life in the second half when Sporting defender Aurelien Collin was issued a red card for a foul on Diego Fagundez in the 74th minute, leaving the visitors with 10 men for the final 16 minutes. Shortly after the red card, Benny Feilhaber missed from close range to keep the game scoreless. That miss proved costly in the 92nd minute when Bunbury, playing against his former team for the first time, got the final touch on a Fagundez cross to put the Revs in front. Nguyen converted a penalty kick three minutes later after Oriol Rossell handled a Fagundez shot in the area, doubling New England’s lead and sealing a second straight home victory.

NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION VS. SPORTING KANSAS CITY
TEAM NOTES AGAINST SPORTING KANSAS CITY Wednesday’s game at Gillette Stadium will be the 52nd all-time, regular-season meeting between the Revolution and Sporting Kansas City and the second of three this season ... New England is 9-11-7 all-time at home against Sporting Kansas City, including an 8-4-6 mark since the club moved into Gillette Stadium in 2002 ... the teams will close their three-game season series on September 26 when the Revs travel to Sporting Park for a nationally televised game on NBC Sports Network. THE PLAYOFF PICTURE REMAINS TIGHT As a result of New England’s win over Toronto FC and losses by Columbus and New York this weekend, the Revolution (10-12-3) enter Week 26 in a three-way tie with Toronto and Columbus for third place in the Eastern Conference with 33 points ... New York is sixth with 31 points and Philadelphia is seventh with 30 points ... a total of five points separates places three through nine in the East, with the Revs, Crew and TFC on 33 and Houston in ninth with 28 points ... five of the team’s remaining nine games are against teams currently in playoff positioning (2 vs. SKC, 1 vs. TOR, 2 vs. CLB) and four against against teams below the playoff line (1 vs. CHI, 1 vs. HOU, 2 vs. MON) ... on the season, the Revolution are 6-9-1 against the Eastern Conference, which includes a home victory over Wednesday’s opponent, Sporting Kansas City ... the Revs are 4-2-0 against East teams are currently in playoff positioning, and 2-7-1 against teams that currently outside the playoff picture.

REVS REACH DOUBLE DIGITS Saturday’s win over Toronto FC was New England’s 10th of the season, making it the seventh club to reach 10 wins this season ... this is the 14th time in 19 years that the Revs have reached 10 wins, including each of the past two seasons ... the club would need to win four of its nine remaining games to match last year’s total of 14 wins and would need seven wins over the final two months of the season to equal the club record of 17 wins that was set in 2005 ... the Revs are the only team in the league to have at least 10 wins and 10 losses this season. FAST STARTS AT BMO The Revolution scored its fastest goal of the season on Saturday, taking a 1-0 lead in the second minute against Toronto FC thanks to a goal from Lee Nguyen ... prior to that goal, the Revs had not scored inside the opening 10 minutes with the previous fastest goal coming on July 30 when Nguyen scored in the 10th minute of an eventual 3-0 win over Colorado at Gillette Stadium ... the last time the Revolution scored in the second minute or sooner was exactly one year ago prior - on August 30, 2013 - when Diego Fagundez scored in the second minute of a 1-1 draw against at BMO Field against Toronto FC ... the only other time that New England has scored inside the opening two minutes under head coach Jay Heaps was on March 24, 2012, when Saer Sene scored 29 seconds into a 1-0 home win over Portland ... that was Heaps’ first win as an MLS head coach and Sene’s goal was the first that the club had scored for their new coach. A RECORD WIN Saturday’s 3-0 win over Toronto FC matched the biggest road victory in Revolution history ... this was the fourth time in club history that they had won a road game by at least three goals, and the first time that they had done so since April 27, 2005 against Chicago ... Clint Dempsey, Pat Noonan and Taylor Twellman each scored on that day in a 3-0 New England win ... the other three-goal road wins were each against Dallas with the first coming on October 4, 2003 when the Revs won 4-1 behind a pair of Twellman goals and single tallies from Noonan and Shalrie Joseph ... Twellman and Noonan were on the scoresheet again, as was Andy Dorman, in a 3-0 win over Dallas on the road at the Cotton Bowl on August 11, 2004 ... additionally, the Revs have never lost a game following a three-goal road win, going 2-0-1 in the following match. ANOTHER GAME-WINNER FOR NGUYEN Lee Nguyen scored his team-best 10th goal of the season on Saturday against Toronto FC, extending his best scoring season in MLS ... Nguyen entered the 2014 MLS season with nine goals in 63 regular season games and has now bettered that total in just 23 games this season, moving him into the top 10 in the Revolution’s career scoring chart ... five of Nguyen’s 10 goals this season have been game-winners, tying him for second in MLS this season in
game-winning goals ... Houston’s Will Bruin, Toronto FC’s Jermaine Defoe, Kansas City’s Dom Dwyer and Nguyen all have five game-winners on the season, one fewer than LA’s Gyasi Zardes ... no other Revolution player has more than one game-winning goal on the year ... Nguyen’s first-game winning goal of the season came against Sporting KC on April 26, a penalty kick in stoppage time. “NGUYENNING” = WINNING Lee Nguyen leads the Revolution with 10 goals this season, which is also his single-season best total in his three-year MLS career ... the Revolution is 7-1-1 this season when Nguyen scores a goal, including Saturday’s 3-0 win over Toronto FC, and 5-0-0 when he scores a goal and adds an assist in the same match, as he did on Saturday in Toronto … some of Nguyen’s other goal-scoring notes: • he is now alone in 10th place on the Revolution’s club career scoring chart (18 goals) and tied for eighth place in club history in multiple-goal games (2) • he is just the 10th different player in Revolution history to record 10 or more goals in a season • his 10-goal total this season is the 16th double-digit goal-scoring total in team history • his 10 goals this season are the most by any midfielder in the league this season NGUYEN IN SOLO COMPANY Lee Nguyen’s 10 goals are tied for 10th in MLS and he is the only full-time midfielder to score more than seven goals this season in the entire league ... of the 13 players with 10 or more goals this year, 12 have primarily used as a forward with Nguyen being the lone exception. ROWE SCORES ONE AND SETS ONE UP Kelyn Rowe recorded a goal and an assist in a game for the first time this season on Saturday at Toronto, and it was the third time in his profesional career that he accomplished that ... he has now achieved the feat once in each of his three seasons with the Revs, doing so in a 2-0 home win over Chicago in June 2012 and again in a 5-0 win over LA at home in June 2013 (one goal, two assists) ... with assists against Chivas USA (Aug. 23) and at Toronto (Aug. 30), Rowe has now recorded assists in consecutive games for the first time in his MLS career. FOUR-WAY TIE FOR ASSIST LEAD With Rowe credited for an assist on Teal Bunury’s second-half goal against Toronto, he is now tied with Bunbury, Diego Fagundez and Daigo Kobayashi for the team lead in assists ... the Revs are a perfect 4-0-0 when Kobayashi records an assist, 3-0-1 when Fagundez has an assist and 3-1-0 when Bunbury does, while the team is only 2-2-0 when Rowe records an assist. A CENTURY FOR SOARES A.J. Soares made his 100th career regular-season appearance on Saturday in Toronto, playing the full 90 minutes in central defense ... Soares is the 20th player in Revolution history to play in 100 regular-season games for the club ... selected by the club in the first round of the 2011 MLS SuperDraft out of Cal, Soares has appeared in and started 24 of the club’s 25 games this season, missing only the 2-0 loss away to FC Dallas on July 19 while serving a one-game suspension after being shown a red card three days earlier against the LA Galaxy ... he has six goals and one assist in his career, including two goals and an assist this season. JONES DEBUTS Jermaine Jones made his Revolution and MLS debuts on Saturday, coming on for Daigo Kobayashi for the final 25 minutes of the 3-0 win over Toronto FC ... acquired by the club less than a week earlier, Jones participated in four training sessions with his new team before traveling to Toronto on Friday ahead of the game ... named as one of Jay Heaps’ seven available substitutes, Jones came on for Kobayashi in the 65th minute with his team already leading 3-0 ... in his time on the field, Jones committed and suffered one foul while completing 11-of-14 passes he attempted, giving his the third highest pass completion percentage (78.6%) on the evening for the Revs. CALDWELL SITS The Revolution will be without midfielder Scott Caldwell on Wednesday as he serves a onegame suspension for yellow card accumulation ... the second-year midfielder was shown his fifth yellow card of the season early in the second half of the win over Toronto FC on Saturday for a foul on Dominic Oduro ... Caldwell is the second Revolution player to be suspended for yellow card accumulation this season, joining Andy Dorman, who missed the 2-1 loss away to Real Salt Lake on July 4 ... while the Revs will be without Caldwell, their opponent, Sporting Kansas City, will be without top goal scorer Dom Dwyer and former Revolution midfielder Benny Feilhaber on Wednesday as they each serve one-game suspensions for yellow card accumulation. ANOTHER SHUTOUT FOR SHUTTLEWORTH Bobby Shuttleworth kept his seventh clean sheet of the season on Saturday against Toronto FC and his second in as many games ... this was the first time this season that the Revs have recorded consecutive shutouts and it was the first that the club had registered away from Gil-
NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION VS. SPORTING KANSAS CITY
TEAM NOTES lette Stadium ... each of New England’s last three wins have come in games in which Shuttleworth kept a clean sheet ... including the two shutouts in the last two matches, the club has not allowed a goal in the last 205 minutes ... the Revolution goalkeeper now has 20 shutouts in his MLS career, with his seven this season two shy of his career-best mark of nine from 2013. BARNES AT LEFT BACK Darrius Barnes has started the Revs’ last two matches at left back, filling in for the injured Chris Tierney ... with Barnes at left back, the Revs are 2-0-0 in the last two games and have posted shutouts in both matches ... with Barnes along the backline this season, the Revs are 6-4-1 on the season - 2-0-0 with him at left back and 4-4-1 with him at right back. CASTILLION SIGNS The Revolution completed the signing of 23-year-old Geoffrey Castillion, former Dutch youth international, last Monday ... Castillion last played for NEC Nijmegen in the Dutch Eredivisie, appearing in nine games and scoring twice while on loan to the club from Ajax ... a native of Amsterdam, Castillion is a product of the famed Ajax Youth Academy and made his first-team debut for the in March 2011 ... he has also spent time on loan with RKC Waalwijk, scoring seven times in 33 games in all competitions, and Heracles Almelo, where he scored four times in 33 appearances for the club’s first team while adding 13 goals in just 12 appearances for the Heracles reserves ... last season, Castillion split his time between the Ajax reserves and NEC in the Eredivisie ... he spent the first half of the season with Ajax, making six appearances and scoring one goal with the reserves before joining NEC on loan in January 2014 ... he scored twice in seven league appearances for NEC while also making a pair of substitute appearances for the club in the quarterfinals and the semifinals of the Dutch Cup ... Castillion also played for the Netherlands at the Under-17, Under-18 and Under-19 levels ... he was a member of the Dutch team that reached the semifinals of the 2008 UEFA Under-17 Championship, scoring two of the Netherlands’ four goals in the competition. REVOLUTION ROSTER NOW FULL With Castillion’s signing, the Revolution’s roster now sits at 30 active players ... that total includes three players - Jossimar Sanchez, Luis Soffner and Alec Sundly - who are currently on loan to the Rochester Rhinos and are expected to return at the end of the Rhinos’ season ... Honduran orward Jerry Bengston joined Belgrano of the Argentine First Division on a year-long loan late last month and is not currently on the Revs’ roster. TAYLOR DEBUTS Tony Taylor made his Revolution and MLS debut against Chivas USA on August 23, coming on for Charlie Davies in the 81st minute ... he was acquired by New England on August 18 via a weighted lottery and trained with the club for the first time on August 21 ... in his nine minutes on the field, the 25-year-old had five touches and completed all three passes ... he was on the bench against Toronto FC but did not play. WHAT A DIFFERENCE A RESULT MAKES Below is a comparison of the team’s average stats in its wins, losses and draws: Number Goals Per Game Goals Allowed Per Game Shots Per Game Shots Allowed Per Game Shots on Goal Per Game Shots on Goal Allowed Per Game
Wins 10 2.7 0.60 13.4 13.6 6.2 3.5
Losses 12 0.42 2.33 15.0 13.2 4.6 5.6
Draws 3 0.67 0.67 12 12.33 3.67 4.33
The win over Chivas USA on August 23 was the first time this season in which the Revs had won a game in which they had fewer than 10 shots or fewer than four shots on goal ... it was also the first win in which the opposition had more shots on goal than New England. IT TOOK TWO TO WIN The Revolution are now 9-0-0 when scoring two or more goal this season ... with Saturday’s 3-0 win at Toronto, the Revs pushed that total to nine wins this season ... the Revolution’s prior win - a 1-0 victory over Chivas USA on Aug. 23 - was the Revolution’s first win since when scoring only one goal ... prior to the Chivas USA match, the Revs were 0-12-3 when scoring one goal or fewer. SCORE FIRST AND GOOD THINGS WILL COME The Revolution is 9-1-1 when scoring the first goal of a game this season and has done so in each of the last five games, going 3-1-1 in those matches … before New York came back to beat the Revs at Red Bull Arena on Aug. 2, New England was the only team in the league with a perfect record when striking first … scoring first is so important in MLS that every team in the league has a winning percentage of .500 or higher when scoring first ... over the last five games, the Revs have played from behind for just 27 minutes, with those coming after New
York took a 2-1 lead in the 63rd minute of that game on Aug. 2 ... during the club’s eight-game losing streak from May 31-July 26, the club never played with a lead. FALLING BEHIND EARLY MAKES IT A LONG ROAD BACK While the Revs have proven that scoring first is the means to a win, they’ve also proven that allowing the first goal means it’s much more difficult to earn a point ... New England is just 1-11-1 when allowing the first goal this season, with the only points coming at Toronto FC (a 2-1 win on May 3 after falling behind 1-0) and a 1-1 draw at Chicago on April 19 after falling behind 1-0) ... FC Dallas is the only team in MLS this season to win as many games as it loses (3-3-3) when falling behind 1-0. THREE FOR ALL Of the 30 players on the Revolution roster, just three have appeared in all 25 matches this season, and two of them are in their first year playing in New England ... Teal Bunbury, Diego Fagundez and Daigo Kobayashi have all appeared in the first 25 matches of the season with Bunbury starting 23, Fagundez starting 22 and Kobayashi starting 17 ... Bunbury is in his first season with the Revs after coming to the team via a trade from Kansas City in February, while Kobayashi joined New England in February from a trade with Vancouver ... no New England player has started all 25 matches, nor has a player played every minute of the season ... Andrew Farrell and A.J. Soares are tied for the team-lead with 24 games started, while Andrew Farrell leads the way with 2,160 minutes played this season, playing the full 90 minutes in every game except for the season opener against Houston that he missed with an injury. CORNER KICKS ADDING UP ... The Revolution leads MLS in corner kicks with 163 on the season, 15 more than the secondplace club, Sporting Kansas City ... on July 26 against Columbus, the Revs tied a club record with 15 corner kicks, and have averaged more than eight corners per game in the last 14 matches, dating back to May 24 against D.C. United ... Kelyn Rowe has taken a team-high 64 corners, while Chris Tierney (41), Lee Nguyen (26) and Daigo Kobayashi (22) rank behind him ... Columbus forward Federico Higuain leads MLS with 109 corner kicks this season, but no Revolution players rank in the league’s top 10. ... BUT STILL JUST ONE GOAL TO SHOW Despite those MLS-best 163 corner kicks, the Revs have scored just once this season diretcly from a corner ... that came on July 26 against Columbus when A.J. Soares scored his second goal of the season, heading a Kelyn Rowe corner-kick service in at the near post to tie the score at 1-1. BACK FOUR IN FLUX THIS SEASON So far this season, seven different defenders have seen time along the Revs’ backline and Jay Heaps has used nine different starting four-man groupings in MLS matches: Defender Andrew Farrell A.J. Soares Chris Tierney Jose Goncalves Darrius Barnes Kevin Alston Stephen McCarthy

The quartet of Barnes, Goncalves, Soares and Farrell have started each of the last two games in front of Bobby Shuttleworth, with all four players playing the full 90 minutes in each game ... in that time, the Revs have allowed 21 shots and seven shots on goal while not conceding a goal. TWO TRYING TO SHOW GOOD BEHAVIOR The Revolution currently have two players on Good Behavior watch after picking up their fourth yellow cards of the season in recent games: A.J. Soares and Chris Tierney … Soares was shown his fourth caution of the season on August 23 against Chivas USA and is now two clean games away from having one caution expunged from his record ... Tierney picked up
NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION VS. SPORTING KANSAS CITY his fourth yellow card of the season at FC Dallas on July 19, and was not booked a week later against Columbus, though he was forced to exit that game in the 21st minute with a left knee injury and is listed as Out on the club’s official injury report ... he remains two games shy of achieving the good behavior incentive. DORMAN ELIGIBLE TO COME OFF THE DISABLED LIST Andy Dorman suffered a sprained right medial collateral ligament (MCL) in the Revs’ 1-0 loss against Chicago on July 12 in a collision with Bakary Soumare ... he was placed on the Disabled List on July 15, and has missed the last seven games ... while he is now eligible to come off the Disabled List at any time, he has yet to return to full training and is again listed as Out on the club’s official Injury Report ... it was announced at the time of his injury almost six weeks ago that he is expected to need 10-12 weeks in order to fully heal and return to action. NEUMANN IS REVS’ GO-TO MAN OFF THE BENCH Rookie Steve Neumann has made a team-high 16 substitute appearances this season for the Revs, having come off the bench for all but two of his 18 appearances this season ... his 16 appearances off the bench leave him tied with D.C. United forward Conor Doyle (who is on the season-ending injury list) for the most in MLS this season ... after Neumann made his MLS debut as a substitute on April 5 at D.C. United, he appeared in 12 straight MLS games as a second-half sub between April 19 and July 16 ... he made his first career start at Dallas on July 19 and was also in the starting lineup on August 2 away at New York.

FAGUNDEZ CLIMBING THE REVOLUTION SCORING CHARTS With 21 career goals, Diego Fagundez ranks ninth all-time in Revolution history ... he entered the season with 17 goals - tied for 10th on the club with Andy Dorman - but his two goal effort against Seattle on May 11 jumped him over Raul Diaz Arce for sole possesion of ninth place ... Fagundez, who graduated high school from Goodrich Academy in Fitchburg, Mass., on June 5, has also been an opportunistic scorer as his seven game-winning goals leave him tied with Kheli Dube for the seventh most in club history ... the 19-year-old is two goals shy of tying Imad Baba for eighth place, three goals shy of Wolde Harris in seventh place and four goals shy of Clint Dempsey, who ranks sixth with 25 goals for the club. “HOMETOWN” FEEL ON THE ROSTER Four players on the Revs’ roster – and the head coach – are New England natives, giving the team a true hometown feel: Local Products Scott Caldwell Charlie Davies Diego Fagundez Chris Tierney Jay Heaps

Simms also recently opened an indoor cycling studio in Dedham, Mass. – Rev’d Indoor Cycling – of which Simms is a co-owner and a certified indoor cycling instructor ... people interested in donating a kidney first need to contact a donation center and be tested ... to be tested to see if you are a match to help Clyde – or other people waiting for a kidney match – please contact Massachusetts General Hospital’s Living Donor Program at (617) 643-7193 ... more info: www.revolutionsoccer.net/OurFriendClyde ... for more information on Rev’d Indoor Cycling, visit RevdIndoorCycling.com.
NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION VS. SPORTING KANSAS CITY
FLAG OF NEW ENGLAND
WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT THE REVS
Long before the sewing of the American flag as we know it -- before there were the United States, and hundreds of years before its slightly-altered stars and stripes emerged on the Revolution club badge – a flag of a different design was flown proudly in the early colonies that now comprise New England. Historic Revolutionary War artist John Trumbull’s depiction of the Battle of Bunker Hill featured a red flag with a green pine tree, which often served as a representation of the New England colonies. While historians argue the exact dates of origin of this early flag, over time, the design stood out as a symbol of honor for the territory. It was a reflection of unification. It’s flown as an homage to the region’s pride and passion.
“The Revolution’s revival continued apace with a 3-0 victory over Toronto that saw spectacular strikes from Lee Nguyen and Kelyn Rowe. There was even time for Jay Heaps to give new signing Jermaine Jones his MLS debut.” – Jeff Carlisle, ESPNFC.com (September 1) “A shiny new star, an opportunistic attack, and a complete road effort have the New England Revolution feeling like this could be a special season.” – Nicholas Mendola, Boston Globe (August 31) “We’re a young team with a lot of talent, but a veteran presence who’s been in big-time situations can be a stabilizing influence on the pitch and can also teach a lot of our young, talented players about what it means to be a professional at the highest level. Plus, he’s a charismatic, dynamic, energetic player that I think our fans are going to enjoy coming to watch play, which is also something we wanted to achieve. He fits exactly what we want — a ball-winning midfielder who is a presence in there.’’ - Revolution investor/operator Jonathan Kraft to the Boston Globe’s Frank Dell’Apa (August 31)
No group has more pride or passion than Revolution supporters, who have flown the flag of New England in Gillette Stadium, and the former Foxboro Stadium, since the club’s inception in 1996. With such a deep connection to both club and country on many different levels, the flag of New England now adorns the Revolution’s uniforms – both as testament to the region’s revolutionary history, and as a visual representation of the club’s supporters. Situated on the back of the jersey, at the base of the neck – a position reserved for the most meaningful representations on soccer jerseys - the flag of New England now lives in honor on the back of every New England Revolution jersey. Sitting above the players’ last names, the Revolution and supporters alike are reminded that the club holds true to its community’s historic roots in reverence, and continues to proudly represent the historic region of New England, while symbolically bringing the supporters onto the field, each and every game.

NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION VS. SPORTING KANSAS CITY
HEAD COACH JAY HEAPS HEAD COACH JAY HEAPS Years with Club: 3 Years coaching in MLS: 3 Career Coaching Record: 33-40-20 Postseason Record: 1-1-0 Jay Heaps is in his third season as the head coach of the New England Revolution and his journey to revitalize the Revs as they return to the upper echelon of Major League Soccer continues after a breakout 2013 campaign ... Heaps has installed a new winning attitude and an exciting, possession-oriented playing style that focuses on the team’s dynamic young talent ... after qualifying for the MLS Cup Playoffs in his second season at the helm – and surging up the standings in the final month of 2013 – the Revs are poised for even greater improvement in 2014 ... with the team’s core set to return – one that not only turned heads offensively in 2013, but also sat near the top of the league all season defensively – the Revolution is looking to challenge for Major League Soccer’s biggest prize this season: MLS Cup ... guiding the up-start, re-built Revs to a 9-17-8 record in his first season in 2012, Heaps turned the Revolution around in 2013, taking the team to a 14-11-9 record, 51 points – the second-highest point total in club history – and a return to the postseason ... behind a precocious group of young players – highlighted by Homegrown star Diego Fagundez, Kelyn Rowe (Heaps’ first-ever draft pick) and Andrew Farrell (the number one pick in the 2013 SuperDraft) – as well as off-season signing Jose Goncalves, who ended the campaign as the league’s defender of the year, the Revolution turned heads around MLS ... after stepping away from his 11-year MLS playing career following the 2009 season, Heaps returned as the new head coach of the Revolution in November 2011 ... with his appointment, he brought to the bench some of his hallmark qualities that fans and teammates appreciated during his playing days: spirit, energy, charisma, toughness, passion and tirelessness.

^ Jossimar Sanchez was drafted by the Revolution in 2013, but injury rehabilitation prevented him from working out with the club until late in 2013. He was signed in the 2014 preseason. * NOTE: The MLS SuperDraft was combined with the MLS Supplemental Draft in 2014. In previous years, the MLS Supplemental Draft was held one week later than the MLS SuperDraft. Only Chris Tierney and Jossimar Sanchez remain on the roster as drafted Supplemental Draft players. All other Revolution college-drafted players were selected in the SuperDraft in the round noted.

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. Per club policy, additional terms of the agreements will not be disclosed. An Overland Park native, Besler became the first player from the state of Kansas to play in a FIFA World Cup when he started all four matches for the United States in Brazil this summer. The 27-year-old centerback debuted for the U.S. in January 2013 and has 21 career international appearances, including all three knockout round games en route to the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup title. Besler was named captain of the reigning MLS Cup champions prior to the 2014 season and was recognized as the Kansas City Sports Commission Sportsman of the Year in April. Besler has made 153 MLS appearances (including postseason) with two goals and seven assists since being drafted by Kansas City in the first round of the 2009 MLS SuperDraft out of Notre Dame. Zusi is also coming off a strong performance at the 2014 FIFA World Cup. He appeared in all four games for head coach Jurgen Klinsmann and contributed assists in back-to-back group stage games against Ghana and Portugal. The 28-year-old has earned 27 career international appearances with three goals and six assists in a U.S. Men’s National Team jersey.

Sporting KC news & Notes (continued) Injuries and international duty test Sporting KC’s depth
Dwyer chasing club’s single season scoring record
Through 26 games in the 2014 MLS regular season, Sporting KC has featured 25 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.
Forward Dom Dwyer is second in MLS with 17 goals and has climbed into second place on the club’s all-time single season scoring chart. With eight League matches remaining, he needs two more goals to surpass Preki’s single season record of 18 set in 1996.
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, 30 different players have started an MLS match for the club this season, a team record and most in the League. Of those 30 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.
Kempin concludes successful month of August 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. 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. 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.
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 continues stint with Sporting KC League pool goalkeeper Tim Melia joined Sporting KC on Aug. 13 and has served as backup keeper in three straight games. A five-year veteran of MLS, Melia played two years with Real Salt Lake (2010-11) before signing with Chivas USA (2012-14). 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 arrived 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.
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. Saprissa then defeated Esteli 3-0 in the return fixture on Aug. 26. 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 50 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 63 of 71 MLS games and averaged 19,334 spectators, 104.7 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 14 MLS matches of the 2014 home campaign, Sporting Park’s average attendance is 20,172. 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 26 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 Sept. 2, 105 penalty kicks have been awarded through 240 games (0.44 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).
Jimmy Medranda rejoins Sporting KC from USL PRO affiliate Sporting KC announced on Monday that the club has recalled midfielder Jimmy Medranda from his loan to OKC Energy FC. The 20-year-old will be available for Wednesday’s match at the New England Revolution. Medranda joined OKC Energy FC on July 9 and made nine appearances during their inaugural season in USL PRO. He has made five career MLS appearances since joining Sporting KC from Deportivo Pereira (Colombia) in August 2013. Medranda became the youngest player to appear in a match for the club during the 2013 MLS Cup championship campaign upon his MLS debut last September and started the team’s 2014 home opener for the first of four MLS matches played this season. He most recently appeared for the club in an international friendly against English Premier League champions Manchester City on July 23.
