Sporting KC Game Notes | September 19, 2020 vs. FC Dallas | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #SKCvDAL: HEAD-TO-HEAD
#SKCvDAL: BY THE NUMBERS
Sporting Kansas City continues their three-game homestand this Saturday afternoon when the side hosts Western Conference rivals FC Dallas at Children’s Mercy Park. Sporting won their previous game at home against Minnesota United by a 1-0 scoreline on Sunday, Sept. 13, and will face off against Orlando City SC next Wednesday, Sept. 23 to close out the homestand. Sporting and Dallas faced off at Children’s Mercy Park to open the month on Sept. 2, with SKC rescuing a point after falling behind early to the visitors. After a giveaway at the back, Franco Jara pounced to clip a finish beyond Tim Melia and give Dallas a 1-0 lead. In first-half stoppage time, Gerso Fernandes fed Khiry Shelton who slammed home the equalizer and Sporting was unable to find a winner in the second half despite applying incessant pressure. In 2019, Sporting hosted Dallas at Children’s Mercy Park back on July 20, with the visitors claiming a 2-0 victory. Dominique Badji gave Dallas the lead following a defensive miscue late in the first half, before another error at the back allowed Jesus Ferreira to double the lead for Dallas early in the second period. The return fixture at Toyota Stadium saw Sporting roll with a much changed lineup and were defeated 6-0 in Texas as Zdenek Ondrasek (2), Matt Hedges, Santiago Mosquera, Michael Barrios and Jesus Ferreira all tallied for the hosts. #SKCvDAL: Recent Meetings (Series tied 25-25-13 in regular season)

Sporting KC Game Notes | September 19, 2020 vs. FC Dallas | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES
PHASE TWO BEGINS
ZUSI CONTINUES TO CLIMB ASSIST CHARTS
Sporting Kansas City closed out Phase One of the MLS “return to local markets” schedule with last Sunday’s 1-0 victory over Minnesota United FC at Children’s Mercy Park. Sporting now has three upcoming games on the schedule, with a further nine set to be unveiled in the coming weeks. Sporting will host FC Dallas (Sept. 19) and Orlando City SC (Sept. 23) before another trip to Dick’s Sporting Goods Park to take on the Colorado Rapids (Sept. 27). DATE Sept. 19 Sept. 23 Sept. 27
OPPONENT vs. FC Dallas vs. Orlando City SC at Colorado Rapids
Sporting Kansas City veteran Graham Zusi added his first assist of the 2020 season in timely fashion on Sunday night, when his stunning pass set up Johnny Russell’s gamewinner in the 1-0 victory over Minnesota United FC at Children’s Mercy Park. The brilliant over-the-top pass gave Zusi his 81st career assist for Sporting in all competitions. Zusi has now tallied 66 assists in regular-season play since joining Kansas City out of the 2009 MLS SuperDraft, placing him in third among active MLS players only trailing Sacha Kljestan (93) and Diego Valeri (85). Of that total, his 29 game-winning assists are tied for eighth-most in league history and rank second among active players, just one behind Real Salt Lake’s Kyle Beckerman.
TIME BROADCAST 2:30 p.m. Univision, TUDN, FSKC 6:30 p.m. FS1, FOX Deportes 8:00 p.m. FOX Sports KC
Zusi is second in all of Sporting KC’s longevity statistics, only trailing longtime teammate and friend Matt Besler, while he has also tallied an impressive 32 goals to go along with his 81 assists in all competitions - all while playing on any of the three outfield lines (defense, midfield and forward).
Sporting KC jumped back into first place in the Western Conference with the 1-0 victory over Minnesota United on Sunday, as Johnny Russell’s 80th-minute strike was enough to see the side improve to 6-3-2 (20 pts.) on the season. Sporting sits two points ahead of Seattle Sounders FC in second - who play at home on Friday night against Los Angeles FC. FC Dallas (4-2-4, 16 pts.) surged into fourth in the West following a 4-1 win over the Colorado Rapids on Wednesday night.
SPORTING KEEPS SCORING RECORD GOING
Sporting Kansas City continued their scoring record in the 2020 MLS regular season, with Johnny Russell the man to thank after the Scottish winger tallied the only goal of the game in last Sunday’s 1-0 win over Minnesota United FC at Children’s Mercy Park.
Saturday afternoon’s match represents the second of three consecutive home games at Children’s Mercy Park for Sporting KC, with Orlando City set to visit on Wednesday night to close out the homestand. Sporting is 2-1-1 at home this season, and will look to improve on that in front of an 18-precent capacity crowd this week.
Sporting KC is the only team in MLS yet to be shut out and have now scored in their first 11 matches of a regular season for the first time since 2007. Sporting have moved within one game of equaling the club record for consecutive matches with a goal to start a campaign. Sporting struck in each of the first dozen matches to open 2003 and 2008.
After an insane schedule during Phase One that saw Sporting play five games in the space of 16 days, Peter Vermes has had the opportunity to have a full week of training heading into back-to-back games for the first team since late February/early March. The recent schedule marked the club’s busiest five-game stretch in the regular season since 2007, and just the 11th time in which Sporting played five regular season matches in 16 days or less.
Sporting’s nine different goalscorers in 2020 are tied for the third most in MLS, only trailing the Colorado Rapids and Minnesota United who have seen 11 and 10 different players bag a goal in 2020, respectively. Russell’s goal last Sunday night means that the only time Sporting KC has been shut out in 2020 remains the 0-0 draw with the Vancouver Whitecaps in the Round of 16 of the MLS is Back Tournament - a game that Sporting won on penalties by a 3-1 scoreline.
DALLAS UP NEXT IN MERRY-GO-ROUND
Sporting Kansas City will face off against FC Dallas for the second time in three weeks when the two sides square off at Children’s Mercy Park on Saturday afternoon. While Sporting has played 11 games in the 2020 regular season, the side has only faced six different opponents: Houston x3, Minnesota x3, Colorado x2, Vancouver x1, RSL x1 and Dallas x1. Saturday’s game will be another in the scheduling carousel where Sporting faces another team for a second time this campaign.
MLS UNITES TO VOTE
On Thursday morning, Major League Soccer (MLS), Black Players for Change (BPC), and the MLS Players Association (MLSPA) launched MLS Unites to Vote, a Leaguewide, non-partisan initiative to help players, staff and fans register to vote and participate in this year’s election.
With the game set to start at 2:30 p.m. CT, it’s a rare early kickoff for Sporting, who typically plays in the evenings. Across all competitions, Sporting boasts an 18-0-9 record in home matches at Children’s Mercy Park that kick off at 4 p.m. CT or earlier.
Kicking off in advance of National Black Voter Day (Friday, Sept. 18) and National Voter Registration Day (Tuesday, Sept. 22), MLS Unites to Vote will leverage enterprise-wide platforms to educate our community on the voting process, drive voter registration, encourage volunteerism on election day, and showcase the efforts of MLS clubs and players.
In the first meeting between Sporting and Dallas on Sept. 2, 2020, Dallas took the lead through Franco Jara early in the match following a giveaway in SKC’s defensive third. Sporting responded well and found an equalizer in first-half stoppage time through Khiry Shelton, but the side was unable to make their second-half pressure produce a winner.
In addition, MLS front office and U.S.-based club facilities will be closed on Election Day (Tuesday, November 3), to ensure that everyone in the MLS community can exercise their right to vote and serve their community as a poll worker or nonpartisan election volunteer.
In 2019, Dallas claimed the season series with a 2-0-0 mark against Sporting KC. The first match in mid-July saw Dallas visit Children’s Mercy Park and find goals either side of halftime through Dominique Badji and Jesus Ferreira to snatch all three points. The return fixture at Toyota Stadium, which came on the final day of the season with Sporting already eliminated from postseason contention, ended in a 6-0 Dallas victory.
COACH SPEAK: PETER VERMES
On his halftime message to the team: “I thought we played really well tonight. Having the week buildup that we needed for this game with so many new players in the team and guys out for injuries and then having to take Khiry (Shelton) off, I thought our ability to keep the ball and probe the field and create the chances that we did – it was great. I told them at halftime: I said, ‘The biggest thing that can’t happen is that we lose our discipline to our shape and we can’t get impatient with the fact that we’ve created a bunch of chances and we just haven’t put one in the goal yet. We’re doing everything that we need to do, except the final piece and that’s score, and we’re going to create more chances in the second half. Let’s just not abandon what we’re doing thinking that we have to change something because you think that it’s not working, but it actually really was.’ I give them a lot of credit for sticking with the plan and being very consistent because they were very, very good tonight.”
Sporting KC and FC Dallas are in a 25-25-13 deadlock for the all-time regular-season series. However, Sporitng has won just one of their last five against Dallas - coming in a 3-0 road win late in the 2018 season.
RUSSELL BAGS ALL-IMPORTANT STRIKE
Sporting Kansas City winger Johnny Russell finally found the breakthrough that felt as though it would never arrive in the 80th minute of last Sunday’s 1-0 victory over Minnesota United FC at Children’s Mercy Park. Sporting KC dominated the match from start to finish, outshooting the Loons 21-6 before securing the winner through Russell after the Scottish winger latched onto a brilliant ball from Graham Zusi before slotting a low finish into the bottom corner. Sporting’s backline held Minnesota without a shot on goal on the way to their third shutout of the 2020 season. It was the first time in Minnesota’s MLS history that the side had failed to register a shot on goal.
On attacking the wide spaces: “If you look at us at the end of the game, we played (Gianluca) Busio, (Felipe) Hernandez, (Cam) Duke. We’re just as changed up as any team in this league right now. Gadi (Kinda) was playing as a false nine for the last 30 minutes of the game. It’s not an easy thing to get numerical superiority in the wide channels or to move the ball like we did and keep possession and probe the team from side to side. They’re a good team. They have a lot of good players. The players that they brought on late in (Kevin) Molino, (Emanuel) Reynoso, (Chase) Gasper – those guys can play. They brought on their starters. So for us to still be able to control the game like we did and walk away with the three points here at home, it was deserved, it for sure was deserved today with the way that we controlled the game and the passes and the chances that we created.”
Russell, meanwhile, continues to go from strength to strength. The goal was his third of the season to go along with three assists in all competitions, taking his tally to 24 goals and 26 assists in his time with the club - a combined 50 goal contributions in 84 games. After missing time during quarantine through injury, Russell has again become a fixture in the starting lineup, with Sporting going 6-1-1 when he starts in the regular season.

July 17, 2020 vs. COL Dave Gantar Rubiel Vazquez COL Yellow Card Overturned, Red Card SKC’s Khiry Shelton is brought down by COL’s Danny Wilson while through on goal.

Sporting KC Game Notes | September 19, 2020 vs. FC Dallas | 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 12th season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2020 and is the longest-tenured active head coach in MLS. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 184 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. 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 149 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 429 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 10 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 fourth 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 enters his third 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.

Sporting Kansas City announced in January 2020 that the club had acquired central midfielder Gadi Kinda on a one-year loan from Israeli Premier League side Beitar Jerusalem. Kinda has played over 200 matches in Israel since turning professional in 2011 at age 17. He starred as one of the Israeli Premier League’s best players during the first half of the 2019-20 season. Before his move to Sporting, the playmaker ranked fourth in the league with a team-best seven goals while also leading the side with four assists.
He became a regular starter for Ashdod during the 2013-2014 campaign, notably scoring his first top-fight goal in a 3-2 defeat of Israeli giants Maccabi Haifa in September 2013. Ashdod spent the 2015-16 season in Israel’s second division, but a strong bounce-back culminated with a Liga Leumit title as Kinda earned 27 appearances and helped his team finish atop the standings. Ashdod’s promotion saw Kinda tally seven goals and seven assists over the next two and a half seasons before his transfer to Beitar Jerusalem.
Born in Ethiopia and raised in Israel, Kinda joined Beitar Jerusalem in February 2019 and started 30 of 31 appearances in all competitions. Kinda spent the first seven and a half years of his professional career at FC Ashdod. He developed as a youth in his hometown club’s academy prior to landing an top-flight debut in September 2011 as a 17-year-old.
On the international stage, Kinda has represented Israel at the U-18, U-19 and U-21 levels. Kinda has yet to earn his first cap for the Israeli Men’s National Team but was selected to the senior squad for UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying in fall 2019.

Gonzalez has spent the last three years as FC Dallas Academy Director and head coach of the U-16 Academy team. In 2016, he led the U-16s to their second straight U.S. Soccer Development Academy National Championship.
Born in Burlingame, California, he started his career at a young age playing club soccer in California. Beginning at age 13, he would travel to his father ’s native Chile each summer and play with Universidad Católica’s youth teams. During his junior year of high school, he stayed a semester abroad and played with Chile’s Deportes Naval U-17 team. Varas played four years of college soccer as a forward at the University of San Francisco. Following graduation, he traveled back to Chile and trained with Chile’s CD Santiago Wanderers for a season before turning to coaching in 20 05.
He joined the FC Dallas Academy April 2012 as the U-18 Academy coach. Since joining the club in 2012, the FC Dallas U-17 and U-19 Academy teams have won their division six consecutive years and four USSDA National Championships (U-19s in 2012 and 2016, U-17s 2015 and 2016). The U-17s also made it to the 2016 Generation adidas Cup Semifinals and the U-19s won the 2017 Dallas Cup Super Group Championship. FC Dallas has signed 21 Homegrown players coached by Gonzalez since he joined the organization. Gonzalez started his career at Southern Methodist University where he won the 20 01 Hermann Trophy his senior year. In his four seasons at SMU, he scored 48 goals and 32 assists. The San Jose Earthquakes drafted him sixth overall in the 20 02 MLS SuperDraft. In 2013, Gonzalez was nominated to be a part of a 16-month youth development course through MLS and French Football Federation partnership to earn his Elite Formation Coaching License (EFCL).
He studied coaching at professional clubs in Argentina, Italy and Spain before starting his coaching career in the U.S. at De Anza Force Amateur Club in California. In 2016, Varas served as the U-14 Academy coach for Sacramento Republic FC, where he was named U.S. Soccer Development Academy’s West Conference Coach of the Year for the 2016-17 season. After one year with Sacramento, he joined FC Dallas as an Academy coach for the U-16 Academy team in July 2017, where he worked closely with Gonzalez.
