MISCELLANEOUS NOTES

UEFA Nations League Earthquakes players Jahmir Hyka (Albania), Vako and Guram Kashia (Georgia) were called up by their respective countries to compete in the UEFA Nations League. In Albania’s first match, Hyka delivered the game-winning assist in their 1-0 win over Israel. Georgia defeated Kazakhstan 2-0 and Latvia 1-0. Vako and Kashia started both matches for Georgia.

Home Field Advantage When playing Sporting Kansas City at home, the Earthquakes have a 16-5-7 overall record, including a 2-1-1 record at Avaya Stadium.

Lending a Hand Wondolowski currently has five assists in 2018 after posting eight last season. His 13 assists since the start of the 2017 season are the most of any two-year span in his career.

Rare Accomplishment Danny Hoesen (10G, 4A), Vako (9G, 5A) and Chris Wondolowski (8G, 5A) are all approaching the 10-goal, five-assist mark in 2018. The last two times the Quakes had a player other than Wondolowski record 10+ goals and 5+ assists in a single season were Alan Gordon in 2012 (13G, 7A) and Landon Donovan in 2003 (12G, 6A).

Wondolowski accomplished the feat in 2017 (13G, 8A) and 2012 (27G, 7A).

Double-Digit Scorers Should Vako score one more goal this season or Wondolowski score two, it would give the Quakes multiple double-digit goal-scorers in a single season for just the fourth time in club history (1996, 1997, 2012).

QUOTABLE SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES HEAD COACH MIKAEL STAHRE Overall thoughts on the match: “I am really disappointed with the result. I think we played until the last minute and really tried to score in the dying seconds. I can’t say that I am super disappointed with the performance, but we are not sharp enough. I think that we followed the game plan ok, the intention was still there, but we were not fast or sharp in our decisions. The reason for that probably is that we played three games in one week.”

On the team’s fight until the end: “Even after 2-0 here and there are five minutes left, we still fight. They have a good mentality in our locker room. Even if we are in the dead last position in our division, we are still playing for the club, the fans and for each other every single second and I am really happy with that.”

On the objectives for the rest of the season: “Try to win as many games as possible, take some positions in the league, and still maybe reach some teams. Improve our game and our style, but also play for the fans so we can give something back to them.”

SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES FORWARD CHRIS WONDOLOWSKI On the result: “It was not good enough across the board. When you dig yourself a hole at 2-0, it is definitely tough to go down. It was good to have a bit of fighting spirit in there and a chance at the end, but all across the board not good enough.”

On improving the performance: “At times I think we play too individualistic. You can’t do that. You have to play team ball, have an identity and execute the game plan.

When you go AWOL on that it hurts.”

On the record chase to become MLS’ all-time leading goal scorer: “I’m glad I’m in that spot, but at the same time, I do hope to get it done. It’s an amazing chase and pretty cool. I definitely hope I get there, but I just want to win.”

OPPONENT INFORMATION MLS Regular Season: 24-25-8 Home: 16-5-7 (38 GF, 21 GA) Away: 8-20-1 (31 GF, 47 GA) Last Game vs. Sporting Kansas City Sporting Kansas City 3, Earthquakes 2; March 17, 2018; Children’s Mercy Park, Kansas City, KS The San Jose Earthquakes fell to Sporting Kansas City 3-2 at Children’s Mercy Park in their first road game of 2018, with Quakes midfielder Vako and forward Chris Wondolowski each finding the back of the net. With his stoppage-time goal, Wondolowski moved into sole possession of second place in MLS all-time goals with 135, surpassing Jeff Cunningham (134).

Following this match, the Quakes’ captain was just 11 goals shy of becoming the league’s all-time leader for goals, and was 10 away from tying current leader Landon Donovan (145).

QUAKES PARTNERS

Reno 1868 FC In June 2016, the San Jose Earthquakes announced that the club has signed a USL affiliate partnership with Reno 1868 FC beginning in the 2017 season.

In February 2018, the San Jose Earthquakes and Reno 1868 FC announced the two clubs have extended their affiliate partnership through the end of the 2019 season, with an option for 2020.

The partnership agreement allows the Earthquakes expanded opportunities for player development, talent identification and rehabilitation assignments, while managing the technical direction of Reno 1868 FC. In December 2017, the San Jose Earthquakes signed three players from Reno 1868 FC: Luis Felipe, Jimmy Ockford and Chris Wehan. The three are the first ever signings from the affiliate partnership.

KEYS TO SUCCESS

Halftime Success Since the beginning of the 2000 season, the Quakes are 123-7-27 when leading at the half, including a 2-2-2 mark in 2018. They were 7-1-0 in 2017, 3-0-2 in 2016, 7-1-2 in 2015, 6-0-2 in 2014, 6-0-3 in 2013 and an impressive 120-1 in 2012, with the only draw coming against Portland on Oct. 27 at JELD-WEN Field. In 2011, the club was 4-2-2, 7-0-2 in 2010, 4-0-3 in 2009, 6-1-0 in 2008, 7-0-3 in 2005, 7-0-1 in 2004 and 8-0-1 in 2003. Despite holding a 1-0 halftime lead on May 10, 2008, vs. Columbus, the Quakes were edged by the final score of 3-2. That game marked the team’s first loss since 1999 when holding a halftime advantage.

Making the First One Count The Earthquakes are 134-20-40 since 2001 when scoring the first goal, including a 3-3-3 mark in 2018. The club was 11-3-1 in 2017, 7-0-3 in 2016, 11-3-3 in 2015, after going 5-1-4 in 2014. They were 11-1-3 when scoring first in 2013. In 2012, San Jose was 14-2-2, their two losses coming at Vancouver (2-1) on May 5 and at Montreal (3-1) on Aug. 18. The club was 7-4-5 in 2011, 12-0-2 in 2010, 6-1-5 in 2009 and 8-1-3 in 2008. Prior to 2010, San Jose also went undefeated in 2001 (13-0-2), 2003 (11-0-1) and 2005 (14-0-5) when scoring first. The Earthquakes were 12-2-0 in 2002 when scoring first, only giving up leads two times in losing 2-1 at the LA Galaxy on July 4, and falling at Kansas City by the same score on July 27. In 2004, the Quakes went 8-1-1 when scoring first, the best mark in MLS. The Quakes surrendered a 1-0 advantage and dropped a 2-1 decision at the LA Galaxy on July 4, 2004, losing for just the first time since July 27, 2002, when striking first. The Quakes are also impressive in the playoffs when scoring first, posting an 8-0-1 record all-time.

IN THE COMMUNITY Avaya Stadium Becomes the World Cup Hub The San Jose Earthquakes opened their doors during the 2018 FIFA World Cup, welcoming soccer fans from across the Bay Area to watch every single World Cup match at Avaya Stadium for free. More than 50,000 fans showed up throughout the course of the tournament, with 7,000 fans at the final match between France and Croatia, and 7,500 fans for Mexico vs. South Korea on Saturday, June 23. The Quakes offered free coffee and donuts for the first game each day, and had face painters, inflatables and activities for the attendees at the biggest matches.

Earthquakes Build Second Mini-Pitch The Quakes Foundation unveiled their second mini-pitch in the Bay Area in Feburary 2018, provided in collaboration with the U.S. Soccer Foundation. The mini-pitch at Hornet Field is a permanent fixture in Alameda and offers children and adolescents a safe place to play. It will be used frequently by members of Alameda Soccer Club and is the site of weekend futsal matches. The Alameda Boys & Girls Club will also utilize the new field and benefit from the U.S. Soccer Foundation’s Soccer for Success program.

THE COACH Mikael Stahre joined the Earthquakes as head coach on Nov. 24, 2017, bringing 11 years of head coaching experience in top European leagues to San Jose.

Stahre, from Stockholm, Sweden, began his coaching career in 2007 with FC Vasby United of the Swedish third-tier. Under his guidance, FC Vasby finished in second place with a 15-5-6 record and the third-best offense in the league, earning promotion to the second-tier Superettan. He remained with the club for one more year, finishing mid-table despite possessing the youngest team in the league, before moving to AIK in 2009.

Inheriting a team that had finished in fifth place the year before, Stahre led AIK to a league championship in his first season. The club went 18-5-7 with a league-low 20 goals allowed in 30 games, marking their first Swedish title since 1998. That same year, AIK won the Swedish Cup, comparable to the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, with a perfect 5-0 record in single-elimination play.

After winning the double, Stahre had a stint with Panionios in Greece before moving back to Sweden to take charge of IFK Goteborg ahead of the 2012 Allsvenskan season. Stahre again quickly led his side to silverware, with IFK winning the 2012-13 Swedish Cup. In 2013, IFK rose from a mid-table club to third place (16-8-6), ranking among the league-leaders in goals for (49, t-4th) and goals against (31, 3rd). IFK made another jump the following year, finishing second with a 15-4-11 record and a +24 goal-differential. He also gave increased opportunity to youth players such as 18-year-old forward Gustav Engvall and 20-year-old fullback Ludwig Augustinsson. The duo finished No. 1 and No. 2 in Newcomer of the Year voting and have both gone on to represent the Swedish National Team, who are bound for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. After his three successful seasons with IFK, Stahre’s next challenge was to take over Dalian Aerbin (Yifang), who had just been relegated from the Chinese Super League to League One. In his first season in China in 2015, Stahre led Dalian Aerbin to a third-place finish with a 17-6-7 record and the league’s second-best goal-differential (+24), narrowly missing out on promotion. He remained with the team for half of the 2016 season, exiting after a 10-6-2 start to the campaign, and returning to Sweden to take over Hacken in January of 2017.

During his lone season with BK Hacken, Stahre led the team to a 14-6-10 record, a +14 goal-differential, the third-fewest goals allowed in the league (28) and a fourth-place finish. Stahre elevated Hacken from 10th place in 2016 with an 1112-7 record to a top-four finish for the first time since 2012.

In addition to his many years of coaching First Team football, Stahre also has experience at the youth level. He served as head coach of the Hammarby U-19s from 1994-97 and the AIK U-19s from 1998-2005, leading AIK to the junior national championship in 2004.

#WONDOWATCH When it comes to Earthquakes forward Chris Wondolowski, the statistics speak for themselves. Here are a few of the all-time MLS leaderboards that Wondo has quickly ascended over the past few seasons.

All-Time MLS Goals Chris Wondolowski knows how to find the back of the net.

Here are the top-10 all-time goal scorers in MLS history: 1. Landon Donovan – 145 in 340 games 2. Chris Wondolowski – 142 in 320 games 3. Jeff Cunningham– 134 in 294 games 4. Jaime Moreno – 133 in 340 games 5. Ante Razov – 114 in 262 games 6. Kei Kamara – 109 in 308 games 7. Jason Kreis – 108 in 305 games 8. Dwayne De Rosario – 104 in 343 games 9. Taylor Twellman – 101 in 174 games 10. Bradley Wright-Phillips – 102 in 166 games MLS Goals Since 2010 Wondolowski has been by far the league’s most efficient striker since 2010, leading the league in goals during that time span: 1.

MLS All-Time Game-Winning Goals Chris Wondolowski has a flair for game-winning goals.

#PANAMANIACS One of the most impactful players in Major League Soccer, Anibal Godoy controls the tempo for the Earthquakes on both sides of the ball. Possessing an aggressive defensive demeanor, a calm presence on the ball, and a wicked leftfooted shot, he has become the heartbeat of the Quakes and a player other teams need to prepare for.

Defender Harold Cummings, who missed the entire 2017 season to injury, carries an incredible international pedrigree with 50 caps before his 25th birthday. His size and strength will undoubtedly bolster the club’s defense.

STRIKE FORCE The Quakes flair in attack, along with MLS legend Chris Wondolowski, is heavily European-based. TAM striker Danny Hoesen and Designated Players Vako and Magnus Eriksson are expected to do much of the heavy lifting for the club’s offense in 2018.

A sturdy member of the Quakes’ attack, Vako is as technical as he is strong. His creative play led to 14 goals and seven assists in just 40 appearances after joining midseason in 2017.

Previously spending the 2017 season on loan with San Jose, Danny Hoesen was permanently transferred after proving to be a difference-maker up top. He finished with five goals and five assists in MLS, while leading the club with three goals in U.S. Open Cup play.

Possessing a devastating left foot, Magnus Eriksson, the reigning Golden Boot winner in the Swedish Allsvenskan, joined the Quakes as a TAM signing to bolster the attack as an inverted right winger.

#HOMEGROWNS The Earthquakes Academy has made major strides in recent years and has truly emerged as one of the most highly regarded youth systems in the United States. The Quakes now have five Homegrown Players, including three signed this past offseason.

First signing with the Quakes in 2014 after his freshman year at Indiana, Tommy Thompson enters his fifth professional season at just 22 years old. One of the most fun-to-watch players in MLS, he quickly became a fan favorite and captures the attention of all fans in the crowd every time he touches the ball.

Signed in January at 15 years old, Gilbert Fuentes is not only the youngest player in Quakes history, but among the youngest in MLS history. He is a regular with the USYNT system and has technical skills beyond his years.

The first SJ goalkeeper to sign as a Homegrown Player, JT Marcinkowski has represented the United States internationally numerous times, including appearances at the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup in South Korea. He also played three seasons at Georgetown before turning pro. He trains with the First Team and serves as the starting keeper for the club’s USL affiliate Reno 1868 FC.

Signed after four years at the University of California, defender Nick Lima finished as a finalist for the MLS Rookie of the Year Award after scoring two goals in 22 appearances in 2017. His strong play led to a U.S. National Team January Camp callup in 2018.

A somewhat unknown commodity upon signing as a 15-year-old last December, center back Jacob Akanyirige possesses speed and instincts uncommonly found in a player his age. Born on Dec. 30, 2001, he is the youngest member of his international cycle and has represented the U.S. at the U-18 level.

QUAKES CAUSING QUAKES In March of 2015, in conjunction with Avaya Stadium’s opening, the San Jose Earthquakes and the U.S Geological Survey announced that a seismograph had been installed on-site to provide better characterization of how ground motion varies from one location to another during earthquakes. The seismograph, which is used to detect small natural quakes, is sensitive enough to record ground movement from raucous crowd activity at Earthquakes home games.

After collaboration with USGS, the data from NetQuakes has finally been revealed. Below is the top-10 most seismic moments in Avaya Stadium history, measured by approximating the kinetic energy in the ground for a given 15-second period. To put it in laymen’s terms, when the Quakes score and fans go ballistic, these are the 10 moments in the stadium’s short-but-sweet existence that caused the most ground movement.

7. [0.6516] Vako scores in the 28th minute in the 2018 home opener; vs. MIN on March 3, 2018.

8. [0.6312] Chris Wondolowski opens the scoring in the 10th minute; vs. LA on May 27, 2017.

2. [0.9251] Sanna Nyassi tallies lone goal in 1-0 thriller; vs. VAN on April 11, 2015.

9. [0.6294] Chris Wondolowski gives the Quakes the lead in the U.S. Open Cup Quarterfinals; vs. LA on July 10, 2017.

3. [0.9147] Simon Dawkins’ goal lifts 9-man Quakes to 2-1 win; vs. TOR on July 16, 2016.

10. [0.6020] Anibal Godoy chips the keeper to give San Jose a 1-0 win on opening day; vs. MTL on March 4, 2017.

Sporting KC Game Notes | September 15, 2018 at San Jose Earthquakes | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #SJvSKC: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#SJvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City hits the road this weekend to take on the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday, Sept. 15 at Avaya Stadium, having won five of their last six matches since the start of August - posting shutouts in all five of those matches.

Sporting is also riding a five-game unbeaten streak against the Earthquakes, going 4-01 since Sept. 24, 2016.

Sporting KC took on the Earthquakes at Children’s Mercy Park back on March 17, 2018, claiming a 3-2 victory in a high-scoring affair in Kansas City. Ilie Sanchez converted a first-half penalty kick - his first goal for the club - before Vako equalized for the visitors before the halftime break. Graham Zusi’s stunning strike and Felipe Gutierrez’s clinical finish gave Sporting KC a commanding lead before Chris Wondolowski scored a late consolation to ensure a nervy finish.

The two sides met twice in MLS regular-season play in 2017, with SKC taking the season series 1-0-1 after beating San Jose 2-1 at Children’s Mercy Park on March 18, 2017 before playing to a 0-0 draw in their last visit to Avaya Stadium on June 17, 2017.

The most dramatic encounter between the two sides in 2017 came in the U.S. Open Cup Semifinal on Aug. 9. San Jose’s Danny Hoesen gave his side an early lead at Children’s Mercy Park with a strike from distance, only for Diego Rubio to equalize for Sporting KC when he turned home Jimmy Medranda’s cross later in the first half.

Sporting KC pressed on looking for a winner, but eventually the game headed for a penalty shootout. Tim Melia made two saves for his side - including the game-winning stop on Victor Bernardez - while Diego Rubio, Ilie, Daniel Salloi and Matt Besler all netted their spot kicks for the home side. Sporting KC went on to win the U.S. Open Cup a month later, defeating the New York Red Bulls 2-1 in the Final.

Sporting KC Game Notes | September 15, 2018 at San Jose Earthquakes | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes TABLE-CLIMBING

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

MELIA EXTENDS REMARKABLE SHUTOUT TALLY

Sporting Kansas City returned right back to winning ways last weekend with a 1-0 victory over Orlando City SC at Children’s Mercy Park on Saturday night. Sporting KC had seen it’s historic four-game shutout winning streak snapped by Seattle Sounders FC the previous week, which marked the end of the club’s longest winning streak since midway through the 2014 MLS campaign.

Sporting Kansas City goalkeeper Tim Melia made three saves last Saturday against Orlando City SC, including two massive stops against his former teammate Dom Dwyer, to collect his MLS-leading 12th shutout of the season in a 1-0 home win. Melia denied Dwyer in a pair of one-on-one situations, thwarting a side-footed effort in the fifth minute and smothering a low drive on the hour mark to highlight another steady performance between the posts.

Sporting KC now sits just one point back of Western Conference leaders FC Dallas with seven games to go in the 2018 MLS season. Starting with Saturday’s clash against the San Jose Earthquakes at Avaya Stadium, Sporting KC will play four matches on the road and three at home to close out the season - including what’s likely to be a pivotal Decision Day showdown against Los Angeles FC at Children’s Mercy Park on October 28.

In doing so, the 32-year-old Melia collected his 38th regular season shutout for Sporting KC since joining the side in 2015. That moves him into sole possession of second-most in club history, edging ahead of Sporting Legend Tony Meola’s 37. Retired gloveman Jimmy Nielsen ranks first on the chart with 45 regular season clean sheets for the club.

Sporting KC’s latest shutout effort also carried league-wide significance, as they became the first team to reach 200 regular-season shutouts all-time.

Sporting KC has now claimed three straight shutout home victories in MLS competition, counting the 3-0 win over Portland on Aug. 18 and the 2-0 triumph over Minnesota on Aug. 25. Throw in Saturday’s ousting of Orlando, and the club has earned three consecutive clean sheet home wins in MLS play for the seventh time in team history and the fourth time since the Vermes era began in 2009.

Melia, the reigning MLS Goalkeeper of the Year, is in the midst of another stellar season in Kansas City. He has become the eighth goalkeeper in MLS history to record doubledigit shutouts in back-to-back regular seasons, having collected 11 in 2017. Melia is looking to become the first player in league history to win two straight MLS Goalkeeper of the Year awards.

With 15 points taken from their last 18 available, Sporting KC remains firmly in the playoff hunt in the MLS Western Conference with 48 points and sits second in the conference. Sporting also has the best goal difference in the West with +16, and has scored the third most goals in the West with 49 - only trailing the LA Galaxy’s 51 and LAFC’s 54.

YOU’RE MAKING ME CROIZET

Sporting Kansas City midfielder Yohan Croizet has enjoyed a strong run of form over the last three weeks, helping the side move within a point of Western Conference leaders FC Dallas. The 26-year-old Frenchman came off the bench to bag the game-winning goal in a 2-0 victory over Minnesota United FC on Aug. 25 and tallied the game-winning assist to Felipe Gutierrez in last Saturday’s 1-0 defeat of Orlando City SC at Children’s Mercy Park.

ELIMINATED EARTHQUAKES

Sporting Kansas City hits the road once again this weekend to take on the San Jose Earthquakes at Avaya Stadium on Saturday, September 15. The Earthquakes are the only side in MLS, from either conference, to be eliminated from MLS Cup Playoff contention so far in 2018, as the side sits on a league-low 20 points for 12th place in the West and 21 points off the sixth and final playoff spot with only seven matches left to play. Sporting are unbeaten against San Jose in the last five, going 4-0-1.

Acquired in December 2017 in a transfer from Belgian side KV Mechelen, Croizet has recorded two goals and three assists during his first MLS season, starting 17 of 26 league appearances. To add context to his bright performance against Orlando, Croizet led all MLS players in Week 27 with three dribbles completed and placed fourth with eight duels won. He also completed 17 passes in the attacking third and created three scoring chances in the game.

Sporting KC hosted San Jose in just the third game of a then nascent MLS season, earning a thrilling 3-2 victory at Children’s Mercy Park on March 17, 2018. Ilie Sanchez gave Sporting the lead from the penalty spot after Johnny Russell was taken down, before Vako Qazaishvili knocked home the equalizer just before the halftime interval.

Graham Zusi’s stunner restored Sporting KC’s advantage in the second period before Felipe Gutierrez added what would become the game-winner, following Chris Wondolowski’s late consolation goal.

RUBIO, RUSSELL, SALLOI & LINDSEY RETURN

A quartet of Sporting Kansas City players all returned to the club this week following international duty with their respective nations. Diego Rubio, Johnny Russell and Daniel Salloi each spent time representing Chile, Scotland and Hungary on the international level, respectively, while Jaylin Lindsey was selected to the U.S. Under-20 National Team.

The last time Sporting KC paid a visit to Avaya Stadium was on June 17, 2017, when the two sides battled to a 0-0 draw. Sporting KC dominated many facets of the game, outshooting their hosts 14-5, including a late chance for Zusi to snatch all three points only for David Bingham to produce a spectacular save. The game also marked the return of Diego Rubio who had missed the previous eight months with a torn ACL suffered in training at the back-end of the 2016 campaign. Rubio has scored five goals in his last five games for Sporting KC and made his return to the Chilean National Team this week following a seven-year hiatus.

Rubio earned his fourth cap for the Chilean National Team, and his first since 2011, when he started in the 0-0 friendly draw against South Korea on Tuesday morning at Suwon World Cup Stadium in South Korea. Rubio started on the left wing for Chile before being replaced in the 57th minute.

Russell returned to the Scottish National Team after working his way back into contention earlier this season and earned his sixth and seventh caps for his country.

Russell appeared off the bench as Scotland were beaten by Belgium 4-0 last Friday before starting as the Scots opened their UEFA Nations League campaign with a 2-0 victory over Albania in Group C1 on Monday.

Sporting KC holds a narrow 25-24-8 lead in the all-time series between the two sides following the St. Patrick’s Day victory earlier this year, with a 5-16-7 mark in San Jose.

GUTIERREZ BACK AMONG THE GOALS

Salloi spent the last two weeks training with the full Hungarian National Team for the first time, having represented the U-21 side over the last year. Hungary began their UEFA Nations League play with two games in Group C2, falling to Finland 1-0 on Saturday at Tampere Stadium before beating a Greece 2-1 on Tuesday at Groupama Arena in Budapest. Salloi was an unused substitute in both matches.

Sporting Kansas City midfielder Felipe Gutierrez rediscovered his scoring touch last weekend with the decisive goal in a 1-0 victory over Orlando City SC at Children’s Mercy Park. In the 53rd minute, Gutierrez settled a pass from Yohan Croizet at the top of the box and picked out the left corner with a low drive that beat Lions goalkeeper Joe Bendik. The goal was Gutierrez’s sixth of the season—two shy of the team lead—and his first since March 31.

Lindsey received his first call from the U.S. U-20s and started all three games during a Florida training against Jamaica on Friday, the U.S. U-19s on Sunday and Venezuela on Tuesday. Lindsey has previously represented the U.S. U-17s extensively, playing in last year’s 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup in India.

Arriving in February from Spanish side Real Betis, Gutierrez raced out to a phenomenal start at Sporting KC with a league-leading five goals in March to claim MLS Player of the Month honors. The 28-year-old was just the second Kansas City player all-time to notch five goals in the first five games of a regular season, three of which were game-winners.

Gutierrez underwent successful hernia surgery at the start of May and missed the next two months before making his return on July 14 as a substitute in a 3-2 loss at the New York Red Bulls. The Chilean has started each of Sporting KC’s last seven MLS matches, during which time the club is 5-2-0 with five shutouts.

KUZAIN CLAIMS USL GOAL OF THE MONTH

Sporting Kansas City Homegrown midfielder Wan Kuzain Wan Kamal is the recipient of the USL Goal of the Month for August, the USL announced on Monday. His stunning free kick for the Swope Park Rangers in a 2-1 come-from-behind victory over Tulsa Roughnecks FC on August 29 at Children’s Mercy Park received the most votes among 10 finalists for the award.

A native of Quintero, Chile, Gutierrez has represented his country 35 times at the senior international level. The versatile midfielder has competed on a global stage at the sport’s highest level, featuring at the 2014 FIFA World Cup and helping Chile lift the 2015 Copa America title as champions of South America. On the club side, Gutierrez played nearly 250 matches during his accomplished career in Chile, Netherlands and Spain before arriving in Kansas City.

Kuzain stepped up to lash a swerving shot from the right side of the penalty area that deceived Tulsa goalkeeper Fabian Cerda, who initially stepped to his left before the ball knuckled and nestled into his right corner. That goal made the score 1-1 on the night before Hadji Barry eventually found a late winner. Kuzain’s free kick was named the No. 2 play on ESPN’s SportsCenter Top 10 that night.

Sporting KC Game Notes | September 15, 2018 at San Jose Earthquakes | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes GOALS GALORE

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES Zusi joined Sporting KC in the 2009 MLS SuperDraft and has spent his entire professional career with the club. The University of Maryland product was named the 2011 MLS Breakout Player of the Year before landing six MLS All-Star nods (2012-2015, 2017-18) and two MLS Best XI selections (2012-13). Zusi ranks second in club history in both regular-season assists and regular-season appearances.

Sporting Kansas City has had few issues scoring goals so far in the 2018 season. Peter Vermes’ side has found multiple goals in 20 of the club’s 30 matches in all competitions this season and has only been shutout five times. Sporting KC is the sixth highest scoring team in MLS so far in 2018 with 49 goals, while the side has scored 56 goals when including U.S. Open Cup play.

2026 WORLD CUP HEADING TO NORTH AMERICA

The United Bid of Canada, Mexico, and the United States was selected to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Wednesday, June 13 by the 68th FIFA Congress in Moscow. Kansas City is one of 23 Candidate Host Cities in the United Bid.

Sporting KC has 14 different goalscorers so far this year in MLS play - which is the second highest number of different goalscorers across a single squad this season. So far this season, Sporting KC has found goals from Johnny Russell (8), Diego Rubio (8), Daniel Salloi (7), Felipe Gutierrez (6), Ilie Sanchez (4), Gerso Fernandes (3), Khiry Shelton (2), Graham Zusi (2), Jimmy Medranda (2), Cristian Lobato (2), Yohan Croizet (2), Wan Kuzain Wan Kamal (1), Ike Opara (1) and Roger Espinoza (1).

The vote, which occurred a day before the start of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, also marks the first time three nations have been selected to co-host a FIFA World Cup and the first time the FIFA World Cup will be played in North America in 32 years. The United Bid offers FIFA and its 211 Member Associations unity, certainty, and opportunity as they prepare to host the largest FIFA World Cup in history.

The 6-0 triumph over Vancouver Whitecaps FC on April 20 tied club records for largest margin of victory and most goals scored in a competitive match. Sporting KC has 42 goals through 23 regular-season matches this year, having scored 40 in all of 2017. The last time Sporting KC hit six goals in an MLS match was on June 20, 1999.

With the FIFA Congress decision to award the 2026 FIFA World Cup, to the federations of Canada, Mexico, and the United States, the three nations will jointly manage preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup until FIFA establishes their operations to manage the competition. Among other decisions, FIFA will make the final selection of host cities for the 2026 competition from the 23 candidates proposed in the United Bid.

Sporting KC found it difficult to score on the road last season, only scoring 10 times in the club’s 17 away games in 2017 and only winning twice on the road. In 13 road games this year, Sporting KC has already surpassed last year’s total in goals with 19 and has already recorded five road wins over the Chicago Fire (March 10), the LA Galaxy (April 8), Atlanta United FC (May 9), the Houston Dynamo (Aug. 4) and Los Angeles FC (Aug. 11). Sporting also only scored multiple goals on the road two times in 2017 but has done so in seven of the club’s 13 away games so far in 2018.

Each of the United Bid’s 23 proposed stadiums are fully built, occupied and operational, ensuring long-term use following the 2026 World Cup. The United Bid has 150 existing world-class training facilities, millions of hotel rooms, and advanced infrastructure. The United Bid is expected to generate more than $14 billion in revenue and $11 billion in profits for FIFA, which will be shared with the 211 FIFA Member Associations, helping further develop and expand the game of football across the globe.

VERMES ERA CONTINUES

Now in the midst of his 10th season at the helm of Sporting KC, manager Peter Vermes is looking to guide his side to yet another postseason appearance in 2018. With the 1-0 win over Houston on Aug. 4, 2018, Vermes coached his 302nd regular-season match becoming the all-time leader in games coached with one club in league history.

LOOKING TO EXTEND PLAYOFF STREAK

Sporting KC is looking to continue it’s impressive streak of postseason appearances after becoming just the sixth club in MLS history to make at least seven straight trips to the MLS Cup Playoffs, while Manager Peter Vermes is now just the fourth coach to lead the same team to seven straight playoff appearances.

Vermes is the longest tenured coach that is currently coaching a team in Major League Soccer, having been in charge of Sporting KC since 2009 - one year longer than Ben Olsen has been running the show at D.C. United. Vermes became the longest tenured coach in MLS when former LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena took the U.S. National Team coaching gig in November 2016.

Vermes has guided Sporting KC to four titles under his watch, winning three Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups in 2012, 2015 and 2017, and the MLS Cup in 2013. His trophy haul ranks as the second highest among active MLS coaches - only trailing the legendary Sigi Schmid, who is currently at the helm of the LA Galaxy. On a local level, Vermes’ 10 years with SKC is the second longest tenure by a head coach in the history of major KC professional sports behind Super Bowl champion and Pro Football Hall of Famer Hank Stram, who was Chiefs head coach from 1963-1974.

Vermes has compiled a 160-114-90 record in all competitions with Sporting KC, including a remarkable 20-6-3 mark in U.S. Open Cup contests. Vermes’ 129 wins in MLS regular-season action ranks third among active coaches in MLS, trailing the Galaxy’s Schmid and Los Angeles FC’s Bob Bradley.

On Tuesday, September 4, Sporting Kansas City announced that the club has re-signed MLS All-Star quartet Matt Besler, Roger Espinoza, Ilie Sanchez and Graham Zusi to new multi-year contracts with the club. Besler, Espinoza and Zusi were all set to become free agents at the conclusion of the 2018 MLS season, while Ilie had a club option for 2019.

VERMES VERBATIM

See below for postgame reaction from Sporting KC Manager Peter Vermes following the 1-0 victory over Orlando City SC at Children’s Mercy Park on September 8, 2018.

Besler, 31, is SKC’s all-time leader in appearances, starts and minutes played across all competitions. The 10-year veteran is a five-time MLS All-Star (2011, 2013-16), a twotime MLS Best XI selection (2012-13) and was named the 2012 MLS Defender of the Year. Besler has helped SKC secure four major trophies this decade, with the 2013 MLS Cup hoisted amidst three Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup titles in 2012, 2015 and 2017.

Thoughts on the match: “It would have been nice to get the second goal. I thought we played very well tonight.

I thought we kept the ball. I thought we didn’t give all that much away – we were very good defensively and really disciplined. A lot of credit goes to the guys. That’s a massive three points for us.”

Espinoza was a 2008 MLS SuperDraft selection that has represented no other MLS club during his 11-year professional career. He was named an MLS All-Star in 2012, the same year he helped guide the team to the U.S. Open Cup title and its best-ever regular-season record, before signing with EPL side Wigan Athletic in 2013. While in England, he helped Wigan to a historic upset against Manchester City in the 2013 FA Cup Final, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1-0 win before returning to SKC in 2015.

On the team’s depth with five players out: “When everybody is available, we’ve got a solid group. (Gianluca) Busio came on tonight. He was really good in the game. He helped us big time. Khiry coming on and finally getting back in the team is really important for us. We’re looking good as we get down the stretch here.”

On the play of Yohan Croizet: “I think in the second half of the season, he’s adapted and acclimated himself really well.

He’s starting to really find his way in the team, which is great. He’s very dangerous, as you can see. He was destroying them down the right side.”

Ilie has been one of the premier defensive midfielders in MLS since signing for Sporting KC in early 2017, ranking in the top 10 in successful passes, duels won and interceptions over the last two seasons combined. During that time, the Spaniard has started all but one of Sporting KC’s games in all competitions, playing every minute in each appearance. He earned Sporting KC Newcomer of the Year honors last fall after helping the team to its third U.S. Open Cup title in six seasons.

Sporting KC Game Notes | September 15, 2018 at San Jose Earthquakes | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes Manager | 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 the midst of his 10th season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2018 and is the longest-tenured active head coach in MLS. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 160 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 regular-season standings in 2011 and 2012. He is the first coach in club history to lead Sporting KC to seven 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 129 regular-season wins top the club’s all-time chart and rank sixth 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. On August 4, 2018, Vermes coached his 302nd MLS regularseason game with Sporting KC, becoming the league’s all-time leader in games coached for one club. He has coached 364 total games during his Kansas City coaching career, most in club history.

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 the 2018 campaign. 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.

Vermes oversees all soccer operations for Sporting KC, including the active roster, the Swope Park Rangers (USL) 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.

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.

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.

Assistant Coach | Zoran Savic

Vermes was an integral part of a young U.S. team at the 1990 World Cup in Italy, where he nearly scored a sensational goal 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 Figueras of the Spanish Second Division.

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.

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.

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.

Vermes joined Kansas City in 2000 for what would be the most successful seasons 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.

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.

A former MLS player, Dufty began his playing career with the New York Red Bulls in 2009, going on to make 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.

Fitness Coach | Mateus Manoel

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.

Mateus Manoel is in his eighth season with Sporting KC as Head Fitness Coach. His responsibilities cover all aspects of sport performance and science for the team, including strength and conditioning, injury prevention, field practices, nutrition, fitness monitoring (training load and readiness), player re-adaptation following rehab and recovery.

In the summer of 2010, Manoel was an Assistant Fitness Coach for the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team during the FIFA World Cup in South Africa. He had formerly served as the Head Fitness Coach for the Mexican Men’s National Team in 2009, working with renowned coach Sven-Goran Eriksson. During 2007 and 2008, Manoel held a position with Athletes’ Performance in the Home Depot Center in Los Angeles, where he worked with professional athletes from a variety of sports, including NFL, NHL, MLB and MLS (Chivas USA and LA Galaxy). Previously, he had assisted with strength and conditioning for D.C. United, while concurrently holding the position of Sports Performance Director with Velocity Sports Performance in Alexandria, Virginia.

Manoel holds a Master’s degree in Exercise Physiology from George Washington University, where he was also responsible for the strength and conditioning needs of the Colonials Men’s Varsity Soccer Team. He also holds a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from the University of Maryland - College Park and is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association. Manoel was born in Brazil and is fluent in both Portuguese and Spanish.

Goalkeeper Adrian Zendejas signed an MLS contract for Sporting KC in December 2016 after playing for the Swope Park Rangers during the club’s inaugural 2016 campaign. He spent the 2017 season primarily on loan with the Swope Park Rangers, making 25 starts for the club and posting a 0.92 goals against average with 10 shutouts.

Zendajas joined the Rangers in June 2016 and debuted in a 2-1 win over LA Galaxy II on Aug. 27 before starting five of the team’s final seven regular season matches, amassing a

perfect 5-0-0 record with three shutouts, 13 saves and a 0.40 goals against average.

Zendejas carried his great form into the postseason, earning two more clean sheets as the Rangers rattled off three straight victories en route to the USL Cup Final.

The Chula Vista, California native joined Club Tijuana in 2014 and made his debut for the Under-20 team in February 2015. He made 31 total appearances for the U-20 team while helping the Xolos reach the 2015 Apertura final and the 2016 Clausura final. He made his first-team debut in a preseason friendly against Club Leon on July 3, 2015 and played all four preseason games for the Xolos in July 2015.
