Sporting KC Game Notes | September 15, 2021 vs. Minnesota United FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #SKCvMIN: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#SKCvMIN: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City (12-5-7, 43 pts.) is set to play host to Minnesota United FC (8-7-7, 31 pts.) in their second of three consecutive matches at Children’s Mercy Park on Wednesday night. It’s the second of three meetings between Sporting and the Loons in 2021, having already met at Allianz Field last month. In that match on Aug. 21, 2021, Sporting hung on to claim a valuable point following a 0-0 draw. After a promising start to the match, Sporting were reduced to 10 men after referee Marcos DeOliveira brandished a red card to Sporting midfielder Remi Walter in the 21st minute, leaving Peter Vermes’ side to navigate the remaining 69 minutes down a man. Goalkeeper Tim Melia made seven saves on the day as SKC successfully shut down the Minnesota attack to take a point from the contest. Sporting claimed the regular-season series 2-1-0 in 2020, claiming a pair of wins 2-1 at Allianz Field on Aug. 21 and 1-0 at Children’s Mercy Park on Sept. 13 - after the Loons had claimed a come-from-behind 2-1 victory during the MLS is Back Tournament in Orlando. The most recent matchup between the two teams at Children’s Mercy Park took place in the 2020 MLS Cup Playoffs Western Conference Semifinals on Dec. 3, 2020. Sporting spurned several early opportunities before Minnesota raced into a 3-0 lead with a brace from Kevin Molino and a header from Bakaye Dibassy before the halftime break, allowing the team to coast through to the Western Conference Final where Adrian Heath’s side surrendered a 2-0 lead to fall 3-2. Sporting holds a 6-3-3 record against the Loons in MLS regular-season play, including a perfect 5-0-0 mark at Children’s Mercy Park, and have gone 6-1-0 at home in all competitions since Minnesota joined the league in 2017.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

MAURI ENJOYS DREAM HOME DEBUT

Second-place Sporting Kansas City (12-5-7, 43 pts.) looks to build on their 2-0 home victory over Chicago Fire FC on Saturday night when the team hosts Minnesota United FC (8-7-7, 31 pts.) in the second of three consecutive matches at Children’s Mercy Park on Wednesday night.

Sporting Kansas City midfielder Jose Mauri followed up his solid debut in the loss at LAFC with a goal in his home debut during Saturday’s 2-0 victory over Chicago Fire FC at Children’s Mercy Park. The goal came in just the fourth minute of the match and would hold as the game-winner, as Mauri records a game-winning goal with his first goal, and Remi Walter records a game-winning assist with his first assist.

Sporting snapped a four-game winless run with the triumph over Chicago on Saturday night, as early goals from Jose Mauri and Johnny Russell did the damage for the hosts. The start to the contest marked the fastest time ever that Sporting has bagged two goals in an MLS regular season match. Moreover, it was just the third regular season game in which Kansas City scored twice in the first 10 minutes.

Mauri became just the third Sporting player to score a goal in his Children’s Mercy Park regular season debut. Current teammates Gadi Kinda and Alan Pulido managed the feat in a memorable 4-0 win over Houston Dynamo FC on March 7, 2020, while Soony Saad celebrated his 19th birthday with a stadium debut goal against the Portland Timbers in a 3-1 triumph on Aug. 17, 2011.

In addition, Sporting showed their remarkable resilience once again on Saturday as the team has now responded to all five of their losses in 2021 with a win in the following match. Sporting boasts a perfect 5-0-0 record in games immediately following losses this year - the best mark in MLS - and a 6-0-0 mark if you include the Leagues Cup defeat.

MELIA REACHES 10 WINS FOR SEVENTH STRAIGHT SEASON

Sporting Kansas City goalkeeper Tim Melia produced another solid performance on Saturday night as the stopper made three saves on his way to recording his sixth shutout of the 2021 campaign with the 2-0 victory over Chicago Fire FC at Children’s Mercy Park.

WELCOMING MIDWEST FOES

Sporting Kansas City welcomes Midwest foes for the second game in a row as the team follows up Saturday night’s 2-0 victory against Chicago Fire FC with another home match at Children’s Mercy Park against Minnesota United FC on Wednesday night.

The win was Melia’s 10th of the season - with the club’s other two wins coming under the stewardship of youngster John Pulskamp who was deputizing for an injured Melia early in the campaign - tying an all-time MLS record by posting 10 wins in seven consecutive regular seasons. The only others to match that accomplishment are Stefan Frei, Luis Robles and Nick Rimando.

The two sides played to a scoreless draw at Allianz Field in St. Paul, Minnesota on Aug. 21, 2021 - though the scoreline hardly tells the story. After a lively start to the game, Sporting midfielder Remi Walter was shown a straight red card in the 21st minute, meaning his teammates would play the final 69 minutes down a man. Despite their numerical disadvantage, SKC held firm with seven saves from Tim Melia to earn a point.

The result also gave Melia the 58th regular season shutout of his Sporting career - the most in MLS since 2015 when Melia cemented a starting spot between the posts. Indeed, Melia’s 58 shutouts over the last seven regular seasons are one more than Frei and three more than Robles.

Sporting claimed the 2020 reguar-season series 2-1-0 with a 2-1 win at Allianz Field on Aug. 21 and a 1-0 win at Children’s Mercy Park on Sept. 13 after the Loons had grabbed a come-from-behind victory during the MLS is Back Tournament group stage in mid July. However, the last time Sporting hosted Minnesota came in the MLS Cup Playoffs Western Conference Semifinals, where the Loons crashed the party by roaring to a 3-0 victory behind a brace from Kevin Molino and a Bakaye Dibassy header.

VERMES IN CHARGE OF HALF OF SKC’s ALL-TIME WINS

Sporting Kansas City Manager & Sporting Director Peter Vermes reached a quirky milestone following Saturday night’s 2-0 victory over Chicago Fire FC at Children’s Mercy Park.

Sporting leads the all-time regular-season series with the Loons 6-3-3, including a 5-0-0 mark at home. In all competitions, SKC is 7-5-3 and 6-1-0 at home against Minnesota.

By recording his 167th MLS regular-season victory on Saturday night, Vermes has now overseen exactly half of Sporting KC’s 334 victories dating back to the launch of the club in 1996.

RUSSELL PRODUCES ON MILESTONE NIGHT

Sporting Kansas City captain Johnny Russell produced a productive performance in the 2-0 victory over Chicago Fire FC at Children’s Mercy Park on Saturday night, scoring the second goal in the sixth minute in what was his 100th MLS regular-season appearance for the club.

SPORTING KC WINS BY HEAD COACH (MLS REGULAR SEASON) • • • • •

By converting his fifth goal of the 2021 campaign, Russell joined elite company as one of three MLS players with at least 30 goals and 30 assists in the regular season and playoffs since the start of 2018, the same year he joined Sporting from English side Derby County FC. Russell’s 30 goals and 30 assists put him into an exclusive club alongside LAFC’s Carlos Vela and Portland’s Diego Valeri, two of the league’s most prolific players.

POSTGAME PV

On Jose Mauri’s performance in the 2-0 win over Chicago: “He’s done some really good stuff. I’m happy for him that he gets the goal. I know that it was kind of a routine deal. People make mistakes. If you don’t shoot, you don’t score. He got the first one for us and that was a big part of today’s theme: getting the first goal and getting the first goal early. Him doing that for us was good and good for him. For the majority of the game, he played very, very well. He helped us in a lot of little situations. He’s got good instincts to close guys down when they’re turning. All good steps in the right direction.”

SPORTING AND MLS AIM TO KICK CHILDHOOD CANCER

MLS, MLS WORKS and Continental Tire are teaming up to support Childhood Cancer Awareness Month with the 8th annual “Kick Childhood Cancer” campaign to raise awareness of pediatric cancers and fundraise for childhood cancer research.

On getting a home win: “We always want to win at home. There have been some good games, but we just haven’t been able to find the game-winner. Today, it was an important thing for us to get the first goal because we wanted to be out in front and let the other team have to chase the game a little bit and put them under pressure and hopefully create some other things. We gave up a few chances today. That part I didn’t like but we also created a lot of other chances. We probably could have scored quite a few more goals. All in all, a good day (with) three points. It’s good to get that, especially with where things are right now in the table and also the game here this Wednesday with Minnesota.”

The KCC campaign will promote and benefit Children’s Oncology Group (COG) Foundation, the world’s largest organization devoted exclusively to childhood and adolescent cancer research, uniting more than 10,000 experts in childhood cancer at more than 200 leading children’s hospitals around the world. The Kick Childhood Cancer campaign has enabled COG to strengthen research efforts across the entire spectrum of pediatric cancers, including Project: EveryChild – a unique project aiming to capture the biology and outcome data of every child diagnosed with cancer.

Sporting KC Game Notes | September 15, 2021 vs. Minnesota United 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 202 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 167 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 466 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. 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.

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.

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.

Goalkeeper Coach | Alec Dufty Goalkeeper coach Alec Dufty is in his fifth season with Sporting Kansas City having been introduced to the organization as the Sporting KC II goalkeeper coach in the side’s inaugural season in 2016. In his first season working with Sporting KC’s goalkeepers, starting goalkeeper Tim Melia enjoyed a record-breaking season where he was named the 2017 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year.

For MLS’s inaugural season in 1996, Vermes served as captain of the New York/New Jersey MetroStars. In 1997, he was traded to the Colorado Rapids for current Sporting KC Assistant Coach Kerry Zavagnin and played in Denver through the 1999 season, leading the Rapids to the 1997 MLS Cup Final. 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. Year

A former MLS player, Dufty began his playing career with the New York Red Bulls in 2009, making one appearance before joining the MLS reserve goalkeeper pool. In 2010, Dufty joined USSF D2 Pro League side AC St. Louis, making 30 appearances before returning to MLS with the Chicago Fire in late 2010. He announced his retirement at the conclusion of the 2011 season. Dufty then took to coaching, first working with Florida Gulf Coast University and then the University of Illinois at Chicago. In 2015, Dufty served as goalkeeper coach for Toronto FC II in their inaugural USL season.

After logging two preseason appearances for the Sporting KC first team in early 2019, Thompson made his jump to the USL Championship in March of that year. At 16, he became the youngest professional signing in Sporting KC II history and claimed victory in his pro debut against Hartford Athletic on July 17, 2019, at Children’s Mercy Park.

LAST TIME OUT | Minnesota United FC @ Seattle Sounders | September 11, 2021 | Lumen Field, Seattle, Washington | MLS Regular Season Another Loss at Lumen Field With the Seattle Sounders winless in four at home and Minnesota United hungry to move up towards the top four in the Western Conference, something would have to give between the two sides on Saturday afternoon at Lumen Field. The home side were missing Golden Boot leader Raul Ruidiaz and welcomed back several players from the injury list, while MNUFC would have to once again do without playmaker Emanuel Reynoso and leading goalscorer Robin Lod. Thanks again to a long-distance strike from João Paulo in the 22nd minute, Seattle emerged the victors in a 1-0 game and climb back up to the top spot out West while the Loons would hold onto sixth after LAFC beat RSL 3-2 on Sunday afternoon.

UP NEXT | Minnesota United FC @ Sporting Kansas City | September 15, 2021 | Children’s Mercy Park, Kansas City, Kansas | MLS Regular Season Off to Blue Hell to Give ‘Em (Blue) Hell SKC was on fire Saturday night at Children’s Mercy Park, going up 2-0 over Chicago inside of six minutes. Peter Vermes’ men were dominating the field in every aspect, moving with high energy in front of their home crowd. For the Loons, it’s another road game against another top Western Conference team in another tough stadium to play in. MNUFC tried its luck again at Lumen Field on Saturday but fell to the Sounders 1-0. The Loons are feeling the absence of their playmakers in Emanuel Reynoso and Robin Lod – although having Franco Fragapane back in the lineup was a positive – and the side is learning to play the game in a different way. Hoping for a near full strength squad this week, MNUFC is in the playoff hunt and needs to continue to move up the table.

MNUFC GAME NOTES Minnesota United FC @ Sporting Kansas City | Children’s Mercy Park, Kansas City, Kansas | September 15, 2021

MINNESOTA UNITEDUNITED NEWS AND NOTES 2015 MINNESOTA FC GOAL MAP Head Coach Adrian Heath on how frustrating it is to be missing four attacking options again against Seattle “Obviously later on, we probably played Franco [Fragapane] 10 minutes more than we wanted to. He’s been out for, seemingly, seven weeks now, so we wanted to give him maybe an hour and we had to keep him on, because we were having enough of the play, we just needed to create something and to work the final third through the pitch a bit more with better runs and better balls in the box. It wasn’t ideal, but, obviously, that’s football. That’s what it is. At the end of the day, if players aren’t fit and aren’t available, then they’re not fit and available.” Heath on being without Osvaldo Alonso and Chase Gasper due to yellow card accumulation next match “Well, obviously, you want to have all your best players available. I thought them two did excellent toady. So, obviously, we’ll miss them. But, hey, at this stage in the season you’re always running the risk at this when you get to this season. Certainly, for people like Ozzie [Alonso] and Chase [Gasper], who basically you’re playing against wingers, or you’re playing in that real combative area in the middle of the park. It’s an occupational hazard to pick up cards. But hey, it is what it is. I’m not going to worry about that. We’ll make some changes and hopefully [Emanuel Reynoso] might be available, maybe Robin [Lod], we’ll see.” Midfielder Wil Trapp on what does it look like for this team to be more dangerous “Where we had success in this game was moving the ball quickly, side to side. Whether it comes out to Chase and we get back into the middle and we break the line forward into a guy like Hassani [Dotson] or [Franco] Fragapane in these instances. And then off those passes, we need guys running and stretching the line. Ethan [Finlay] had a chance in the first half, he cuts back into his left foot because we can’t simply rely on trying to cross the ball. Creating little half spaces and then risking passes between, those are where we need to be a little bit more clinical and that will then open space wide for crosses that can be more dangerous as well.”

MNUFC Recognizes KCC Month Minnesota United announced the club will recognize Kick Childhood Cancer month throughout September. At Saturday’s game against LA Galaxy (September 18 @ 7:00 p.m. CT), MNUFC will celebrate KCC, presented by M Health Fairview, with several in-game elements: •Players will wear the names of pediatric patients on the back of their warm-up tops, which will be gifted to the families, and a yellow Kick Childhood Cancer ribbon jersey patch on their jerseys. •M Health Honorary Scoreboard Keeper Braxton, an M Health cancer patient. •Children’s Cancer Research Fund will host families in a Party Suite at Allianz Field for the game, and 40 additional tickets will be distributed to CCRF families and staff. •Kick Childhood Cancer jerseys will be auctioned by Minnesota United after the game, with proceeds benefitting M Health Fairview University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital. •Allianz Field façade will be lit gold for halftime. •KCC-themed elements in-stadium will include gold nets, gold corner flags, gold LED boards and other digital video board elements. Additionally, throughout the month of September, MNUFC will recognize KCC: •Until September 25, fans are encouraged to round up their purchases as part of our Register Round Up program at the Black and Blue Team Store with proceeds benefiting Children’s Cancer Research Fund. •Kick Childhood Cancer Scarf and Top merchandise will be available for purchase at the Black and Blue Team Store. •Minnesota United, Major League Soccer and Continental Tire have teamed up to produce KCC-themed pajama pants to be donated to local children’s hospitals around the Twin Cities. •MNUFC eMLS player Brandon Yamane and a first team player will host a FIFA charity stream with proceeds befitting Children’s Cancer Research Fund. •A club-produced PSA about how we can help fight childhood cancer, shared across the club’s digital channels.

Trapp on being shutout three times in five games “The hardest thing is to score, right? For us, if we score multiple goals in a game like we had to in Houston, we want to be able to now stretch that out into the next game or even if it’s tie the game one-one. Once again, it’s like I talked about earlier, creating multiple ways in which we can score whether it’s breaking lines between their defenders or it’s getting the ball wide and crossing in or it’s transition moments because we had some of those as well. Ultimately, it’s about the target, hitting the target, hit the target, hit the frame and make the goalkeeper make the save. We’ve seen when we do that, we tend to pick up pieces and score goals. It’s really one of those fine details.”

ABOUT MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER Minnesota United FC plays in North America’s top professional soccer league, Major League Soccer (MLS). The league features 27 teams from across the United States and Canada. After a successful bid to host the FIFA World Cup in 1994, the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) founded MLS to bring a top-level soccer league back to the country for the first time since 1984, when the original NASL folded. The league was set to begin play in 1996 with 10 teams: Colorado Rapids, Columbus Crew (SC), D.C. United, Dallas Burn (FC Dallas), Kansas City Wiz (Sporting Kansas City), Los Angeles Galaxy, New England Revolution, NY/NJ MetroStars (New York Red Bulls), San Jose Clash (Earthquakes) and Tampa Bay Mutiny. The league’s first game was played on April 6, 1996 as the San Jose Clash played D.C. United in front of 31,000 fans at Spartan Stadium. The league drew large crowds in its opening season, pulling star power from around North America and building on the excitement of the 1994 FIFA World Cup. As MLS has continued to grow, clubs have begun moving out of shared American football venues and into soccer-specific stadium, led by Columbus Crew (SC), who moved into the soccer-specific MAPFRE Stadium in 1999. Currently, 20 teams play in soccer-specific venues. The league is split into the Eastern and Western Conferences. Each team plays 34 games during the season. Teams play all conference opponents twice, once at home and once on the road, and teams in the other conference once, with an even balance of home and away games. The top seven teams in each conference at the end of the year qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs. Starting in 2019, the league adopted a new single-elimination format for the entirety of the MLS Cup Playoffs. The top seven teams in each conference qualify for postseason, with the regular-season conference champions receiving a first-round bye. The second through seventh seeds will play the opening round games, with the highest seed hosting games throughout the tournament. The winners will move on to join the oneseed teams in the conference semifinals. The winner of each conference championship will move on to the MLS Cup Final. The team with the best regular season record will host the final.
