SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC SPORTING PARK, Kansas City, Kan. September 27, 2015 (WEEK 30, MLS Game #305) 6 p.m. CT (FS1; FOX Deportes) A massively important match in the Western Conference playoff picture is ahead when Sporting Kansas City return home to entertain Seattle Sounders FC on Sunday evening before an FS1 audience. Sporting suffered another loss on their recent run at midweek, falling 1-0 at the Houston Dynamo, now sitting in fifth place in the division three points ahead of sixth place and the final postseason position. Sounders FC are just a further point ahead, now riding a fourgame league undefeated streak following a 3-0 win at rivals Vancouver Whitecaps FC in league play last weekend.

Since a 1-0 KC win in 2009 in the first meeting ever between the clubs, Seattle had won seven matches (with two draws). It was also Sporting’s first win ever against Sounders FC at home.  The teams did meet in the 2012 U.S. Open Cup Final, Sporting winning in a penalty-kick shootout after a 1-1 draw over 120 minutes in K.C., ending Sounders FC’s three-year hold on the Open Cup title.  Coaches record: Peter Vermes vs. SEA: P10 W1 L7 D2 … Sigi Schmid vs. KC: P43 W20 L16 D7 LAST MEETING (MLS)  The game's lone goal came in the 84th minute. SKC's Dom Dwyer got his head to a cross as Sounders FC goalkeeper was able to punch the ball away, also colliding with the forward, and referee Ismail Elfath pointed to the spot. Benny Feilhaber put the penalty calmly inside the left post for the winner.  SKC goalkeeper Tim Melia made a career-high six saves for the shutout. He was beaten midway through the second half by Sounders FC forward Lamar Neagle, only for the offside flag to be raised in a close decision.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Tim Melia - Jalil Anibaba, Kevin Ellis, Matt Besler, Amadou Dia - Soni Mustivar - Benny Feilhaber, Roger Espinoza - Connor Hallisey (Saad Abdul-Salaam 85), Graham Zusi, Marcel de Jong (Dom Dwyer 58).  SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC (4-2-3-1): Stefan Frei - Tyrone Mears, Chad Marshall, Zach Scott, Dylan Remick Micheal Azira (Darwin Jones 86), Gonzalo Pineda - Cristian Roldan (Leo Gonzalez 77), Andy Rose, Marco Pappa (Thomas 80) - Lamar Neagle.

MLS GAME INFORMATION

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City weren’t able to build upon a first win in six matches, dropping a 1-0 decision to the Houston Dynamo on Wednesday evening at BBVA Compass Stadium. Sporting are in fifth place in the Western Conference with 44 points from 29 matches. LAST MATCH  The Dynamo finally broke through on 67 minutes. After Brad Davis and DaMarcus Beasley played a give-andgo on the left side to send Beasley to the end line, he cut around a lunging defender before hitting a low cross that found Will Bruin all alone at the back post for a simple tap-in.  Three minutes later the Dynamo were put down a man when Boniek Garcia was sent off by referee Sorin Stoica with a second yellow card, but the home side were able to ride out the victory.  SKC manager Peter Vermes made two changes to the team that hit for a 3-1 win against FC Dallas at Sporting Park. Tim Melia came in between the posts in place of Jon Kempin, and Marcel de Jong started wide on the left for Krisztian Nemeth.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Tim Melia - Chance Myers, Kevin Ellis, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic (Bernardo Anor 86) - Soni Mustivar (Jordi Quintilla 80) - Paulo Nagamura, Benny Feilhaber - Graham Zusi, Dom Dwyer, Marcel de Jong (Jacob Peterson 54). TEAM NEWS  Sporting weren’t able to build upon their first victory since Aug. 15, losing for the fifth time in their last seven matches in league play with the defeat in Houston.  “It was horrific,” SKC manager Peter Vermes. “We were not good. We were not good in possession. We reacted to everything on the field. We played very, very poorly – very poorly – in the game. This wasn't one of those games where we deserved anything, that's for sure.”  Sporting were also shut out at the attacking end for the third time in that seven-game stretch, after being blanked offensively just three times in their first 22 league games.  “We were never dangerous in and around goal,” Vermes said. “We were just there. We were just on the field. We weren't playing the game at all. That was not indicative of a Sporting Kansas City team, the way we want to play. No way.”  Tim Melia returned between the posts for the first time since Sept. 9, after missing two matches with a hamstring injury. Melia has a personal five-game winless streak alive, his last goalkeeper victory coming Aug. 15 vs. Vancouver (a 4-3 win).  “I don't know if I'd characterize it as a soft goal,” Vermes said. “I'd just characterize it as a goal that should not have happened. The bottom line is that we were poor in possession. We gave up the ball in very critical areas of the field. That made us have to run a lot defensively, and we just never got any passing together. We were just bad.”  Marcel de Jong made his first start since Aug. 22, again starting wide on the left of the attack and playing 54 minutes.  Jordi Quintilla came off the substitutes’ bench for the fourth time in the last five games, playing the final 10 minutes, while Bernardo Anor made his fourth consecutive appearance off the substitutes’ bench, playing the final four minutes.  There will be further changes for the Sounders FC match after center back Matt Besler and midfielder Benny Feilhaber each received cautions that will rule them out of the weekend match.  “We had very, very poor movement off the ball. Very few guys wanted the ball. Our solution was just to whack it forward. They had enough big guys that it's going to be very hard to penetrate that back line,” said Vermes. “To think that that would be the solution – we talked extensively about some of the things that we wanted to do in the game, but yeah, in the end we just didn't play well.”  Said defender Seth Sinovic: “As cliché as it sounds, we try to take it one game at a time and we've got a big stretch of games coming up here, every game is just as important as the other. We've got the playoff push, we've got the Open Cup final, so every game is just as important as the next, so we've got to be prepared for Sunday.”

MLS GAME INFORMATION

SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC Seattle Sounders FC stretched their undefeated streak to four matches, cruising to a 3-0 win against Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Saturday afternoon at BC Place. Sounders FC are in fourth place in the Western Conference with 45 points from 30 matches. LAST MATCH  Sounders FC grabbed the opener on the stroke of halftime. Obafemi Martins chipped the ball into the box over the head of a Whitecaps defender and into the path of Andreas Ivanschitz, who drilled home past Vancouver goalkeeper David Ousted.  The lead was doubled in the 71st minute when Gonzalo Pineda took a feed from Clint Dempsey and crashed in a shot off the left post from inside the area.  A stretched Whitecaps FC defense conceded a third goal three minutes from time when an open Martins poked home a cutback from Clint Dempsey to seal the win and the Cascadia Cup for Sounders FC.  Sounders FC head coach Sigi Schmid made three changes to the team that gained a 1-1 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes at CenturyLink Field. Zach Scott came into central defense for the injured Roman Torres, and Osvaldo Alonso and Andreas Ivanschitz started in the midfield in place of Erik Friberg and Nelson Haedo Valdez.  SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC (4-4-2): Stefan Frei - Tyrone Mears, Zach Scott, Chad Marshall, Oniel Fisher - Brad Evans (Cristian Roldan 74), Osvaldo Alonso (Leo Gonzalez 85), Gonzalo Pineda, Andreas Ivanschitz (Nelson Haedo Valdez 65) - Clint Dempsey, Obafemi Martins. TEAM NEWS  Sounders FC extended their undefeated run to four games with a third victory in that time, their longest stretch without a loss in league play this season. The win also gave Sounders FC the Cascadia Cup for 2015 with a second win this season in league play at BC Place.  “I’m not going to try and figure out the series, what I am going to try and figure out is how we can show we are a good road team,” said Sounders FC head coach Sigi Schmid. [It] was a good victory for us, and I hope we will gather some momentum and use that momentum as we move forward and keep gathering points to move up the standings as high as we can. That’s all we are concerned about right now.”  Obafemi Martins scored his 13th goal of the season, his fourth consecutive game with a goal – his sixth goal in six games in his return from injury.  Clint Dempsey recorded a pair of assists, the third multiple-assist game of his MLS career, and his second in as many seasons. Dempsey now has nine assists this season, one off his MLS single-season career-high set last year.  “We knew if we could maintain any sort of possession in the second half that we were going to break on them because they were pushing some many guys forward,” said defender Zach Scott. “Credit to Clint [Dempsey] and Obafemi [Martins]. Our midfielders were great going forward and keeping possession to give us breathing room.”  Andreas Ivanschitz made his first MLS start, coming in to a wide midfield role and scored his first MLS and Sounders FC goal.  “It was great. It was awesome, not only for me but also because we won against a very good team,” said Ivanschitz. “Three points on the road, that’s great for us. I’m very happy to score my first goal for the Sounders. That feels great for me.”  Gonzalo Pineda scored his first goal of the season, his first goal from open play scored in his MLS career. His last goal came last Aug. 10, converting a third penalty kick.  Nelson Valdez made his fifth start in the last six league matches, recording his first MLS assist, after scoring his first league goal Aug. 16.  “I thought we played very well. In the first half, we did a good job of keeping possession. We held steady, I knew we were going to get some chances on the counter attack because they were pushing people forward and we were able to score two goals on the counter attack,” said Schmid.  On Wednesday, Sounders FC secured passage to the knockout stage of the CONCACAF Champions League with a 3-0 win against Vancouver Whitecaps FC at CenturyLink Field. Lamar Neagle scored goals on either side of halftime and Nelson Valdez added a third as Sounders FC finished atop Group F with seven points.  Here’s the Sounders FC team: Stefan Frei; Tyrone Mears, Brad Evans, Chad Marshall, Leonardo Gonzalez; Marco Pappa, Erik Friberg (Michael Azira 64’), Cristian Roldan, Lamar Neagle; Nelson Valdez (Aaron Kovar 74'), Chad Barrett (Oniel Fisher 78’)

Sporting KC Game Notes | Sept. 27, 2015 vs. Seattle Sounders FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #SKCvSEA: HEAD-TO-HEAD

SPORTING KC BY THE NUMBERS

A pivotal Western Conference clash beckons on Sunday at Sporting Park when fourth-place Seattle Sounders FC (14-13-3, 45 points) visit fifth-place Sporting Kansas City (12-9-8, 44 points). It will be the third and final regular season meeting between the clubs this season, with Sporting KC previously earning a 0-0 draw at CenturyLink Field on May 23 and a 1-0 victory at Sporting Park on June 6.

• • •

May 23 — Seattle Sounders FC 0, Sporting KC 0 Sporting KC stretched the club’s unbeaten streak to five games with a scoreless draw at Seattle and became the first team to hold the Sounders scoreless at CenturyLink Field in 2015. Anchored by captain Matt Besler, Sporting KC’s defense allowed only one shot on goal — Seattle’s fewest at home in the past three seasons — for the team’s fifth clean sheet of the year. Seattle’s attack was led by U.S. Men’s National Team captain Clint Dempsey, whose seven goals and five assists at the time ranked among the top three in MLS. However, the Designated Player’s streak of 10 straight MLS matches with a goal or assist (dating back to the end of 2014) was snapped one shy of the alltime league record. Second half stoppage time had proven to be an Achilles heel for Sporting KC in the series history — conceding five game-winning goals after the 90th minute in the last seven meetings with Seattle — but the club nearly flipped the script this time around. Benny Feilhaber picked up a pass from Krisztian Nemeth and struck a dipping shot from distance that required a sprawling save by Frei to preserve the clean sheet.

• • • • • • •

June 6 — Sporting KC 1, Seattle Sounders FC 0 Sporting KC claimed its fourth straight home victory with a 1-0 win over the first-place Seattle Sounders FC in front of 21,505 fans, the largest regular season crowd in Sporting Park history. Benny Feilhaber converted a penalty kick, won by Dom Dwyer, in the 84th minute and Tim Melia set a new MLS career high with six saves in the clean sheet to become the first goalkeeper in team history to go unbeaten in his first six appearances (4-0-2). Two weeks after shutting out the Sounders on their home turf in a scoreless draw, Sporting KC captured the full three points to snap a nine-game winless streak against Seattle and move within two points of the conference leaders. The visitors were without all three of their Designated Players — Clint Dempsey (personal), Obafemi Martins (injured) and Osvaldo Alonso (suspended) — while Sporting KC overcame the absence of leading scorer Krisztian Nemeth who was with the Hungary Men’s National Team for UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying.

Sporting KC Game Notes | Sept. 27, 2015 vs. Seattle Sounders FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES LAST TIME OUT: HOUSTON DYNAMO 1-0 SPORTING KC

FEILHABER ON FIRE

Sporting KC dropped a 1-0 decision at the Houston Dynamo on Wednesday and remain in fifth place in the Western Conference standings with five games remaining in the regular season. Will Bruin scored the game’s only goal in the 67th minute as the teams met for the fourth time in 2015.

Midfielder Benny Feilhaber is piecing together one of the best seasons in Sporting KC history, setting MLS career highs with 10 goals and 14 assists during an MVPcaliber 2015 season. In a 3-1 win over FC Dallas on Sept. 18, he became just the third player in club history to reach double digits in goals and assists in league play, joining Josh Wolff (2005) and Preki (1996-98, 2003). Feilhaber has recorded 19 assists this season in all competitions, breaking the club record he had previously shared with Preki (2003). Earlier this year, he became just the second player in club history (Preki) to reach 10 goals and 15 assists in a single season (all competitions). Feilhaber won MLS Player of the Month for April and received MLS All-Star honors for the first time in his career when he was named to the All-Star Fan XI and competed in the 2015 AT&T MLS All-Star Game on July 29. He has bagged two MLS Goal of the Week Awards (Weeks 8 and 21) and earned Team of the Week honors on eight separate occasions from various media outlets (see page 5).

Matt Besler and Benny Feilhaber each received yellow cards in the match and will miss Sunday’s game against Seattle Sounders FC on a one-game suspension due to caution accumulation.

RESPITE FROM ROAD TRAVELS

Sporting KC is amidst a daunting portion of the schedule that will see the team play eight of 10 matches away from home. The stretch began with consecutive losses to Columbus Crew SC (Aug. 22) and the Colorardo Rapids (Aug. 29). After a bye during the first weekend of September, Sporting KC embarked on a two-game road trip that began in the Pacific Northwest against the Portland Timbers (0-0 draw) on Sept. 9 and ended in the opposite corner of the country against Orlando City SC (3-1 loss) on Sept 13.

SKC players with a combined 25 goals/assists in a single season (all competitions) Year Player Goals Assists Total 1996 Preki 22 14 36 2015 Benny Feilhaber 12 19 31 2003 Preki 12 18 30 1997 Preki 13 17 30 2014 Dom Dwyer 24 1 25

Peter Vermes’ men returned home last Friday, Sept. 18, and earned a 3-1 victory over FC Dallas, while Wednesday’s visit to Houston resulted in a 1-0 defeat. Up next is a nationally televised clash with Seattle Sounders FC on Sunday at Sporting Park. Their travels then continue with another formidable road trip, beginning with the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final at the Philadelphia Union on Wednesday and ending with a cross-country trek to Portland three days later (Saturday, Oct. 3). After the October international break, Sporting KC will visit San Jose (Oct. 16) before rounding out the 2015 regular season with home games against Colorado Rapids (Oct. 21) and LA Galaxy (Oct. 25).

SET PIECE SALVO

Sporting KC has been one of the league’s most dangerous teams in set piece situations. The club leads MLS with 12 assists from set plays, 64 chances created from set plays and 14 headed goals — three more than any other team. Benny Feilhaber is second in MLS with five set piece assists (behind Brad Davis’ six), while Kevin Ellis and Dom Dwyer are tied for third with three headed goals apiece despite both standing at five-foot-nine.

HOME SWEET HOME

Sporting KC has a 13-1-4 record in all competitions this season at Sporting Park, inlcuding a 1-0 regular season triumph over Seattle on June 6. Peter Vermes’ men have outscored opponents 39-20 on home soil and have reached the three-goal mark eight times. The club’s 9-1-4 regular season home record is the second best in MLS, behind only the LA Galaxy (11-1-3).

Sporting KC’s aerial prowess bodes well for the rest of the 2015 campaign. For seven consecutive MLS seasons (and eight of the last nine), the team with the most headed goals has gone on to win the Supporters’ Shield and/or MLS Cup.

Sporting KC’s 13 home wins in all competitions are one shy of tying the club record previously set in 2000, 2004 and 2012. In each of those seasons, the club went on to win a major trophy. Kansas City claimed an MLS Cup and Supporters’ Shield double in 2000 and lifted the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup title in 2004 and 2012.

GOALS IN BUNCHES

Sporting KC is fifth in MLS with 1.52 goals scored per game and has hit four goals in four regular season games this year. Just twice previously (1996, 2010) has Kansas City reached the four-goal mark on four occasions in the same regular season. In addition, Sporting KC’s 48 MLS assists (with five games still to play) are the most in a single regular season since 2002 (49).

RISING TO THE OCCASION

Sporting KC has an 8-3-5 regular season record this year against teams currently in playoff position, including an unbeaten 7-0-2 mark at home. Conversely, Peter Vermes’ men are 4-6-3 against clubs currently outside of the playoff picture with a 3-1-2 record at Sporting Park.

PLAYOFF MATH

In four weeks, the 2015 MLS Regular Season will end and 12 teams (six from each conference) will progress to the Audi 2015 MLS Cup Playoffs. The only team to have clinched a playoff berth heading into the weekend is the New York Red Bulls.

THE THREE MUSKETEERS

2015 marks the first season in club history that Sporting KC has seen three different players reach the double-digit goal mark in all competitions. Dom Dwyer (15), Krisztian Nemeth (13) and Benny Feilhaber (12) have combined for 40 of the team’s 57 totals goals in the MLS regular season and U.S. Open Cup.

After snapping a five-game winless run with a 3-1 victory over FC Dallas on Sept. 18, Sporting KC suffered another setback in a 1-0 loss at Houston on Wednesday. Peter Vermes’ side is currently in fifth place in the Western Conference with 44 points, but sits only four points back of conference leaders Vancouver Whitecaps FC. The top six teams in each conference will make the playoffs, with the top two in each conference also earning a bye in the knockout round.

In a 3-1 win over FC Dallas on Sept. 18, Feilhaber and Dwyer both notched double digit goals in league play, marking the first time two Kansas City players have done so in the same season since 1998 (Mo Johnston 11, Preki 10). Nemeth, meanwhile, has enjoyed perhaps the best season from a newcomer in Sporting KC history. The Hungarian international has 13 goals and seven assists in all competitions, making his 20 combined goals and assists the most ever by a first-year Kansas City player (excluding the inaugural MLS season in 1996). Player Dom Dwyer Krisztian Nemeth Benny Feilhaber TRIO TOTALS TEAM TOTALS

MLS 10 9 10 29 44

USOC 5 4 2 11 13

Entering the weekend, the magic number for Sporting KC is 10. The maximum number of points a team currently outside the top six can reach is 53 (Real Salt Lake). If Sporting KC reaches 54 points (10 more than their current total), they’ll be guaranteed a top-six finish in the Western Conference standings.

Total Goals 15 13 12 40 57

As of Friday, Sporting KC occupies ninth place in the Supporters’ Shield standings and ranks eighth in points per game at 1.52. The club’s maximum point haul is 59 with five games left to play. The race for the Shield will likely come down to the last weekend of the year with the previous four winners averaging 64 points.

ROOKIE RELEVANCE

SELLING OUT

Three of Sporting KC’s first round selections in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft — Connor Hallisey (No. 10) Saad Abdul-Salaam (No. 12) and Amadou Dia (No. 20) — have contributed valuably to a campaign that sees the team in contention for U.S. Open Cup and Supporters’ Shield titles. The trio has combined for 48 regular season matches played, more rookie appearances than any other MLS club in 2015. Each player has also featured in all four matches during Sporting KC’s run to the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final.

Sporting Park has sold out 67 straight MLS matches (including playoffs) dating back to March 2012 and 79 of 88 overall since opening in June 2011. SKC has set new regular season attendance records in each of the last four years, eclipsing 20,000 spectators per game in 2014. In 88 MLS matches played at the venue, Sporting Park is averaging more than 19,400 spectators — 105 percent of its 18,467-seat capacity.

CUP FINAL BECKONS

CONCACAF announced on Sept. 15 that Sporting KC defender Matt Besler and midfielder Graham Zusi were named to the United States Men’s National Team’s provisional 35-player roster for CONCACAF Cup 2015 between the U.S. MNT and Mexico on Oct. 10 at the Rose Bowl. Each national team will select their final 23-player rosters by Oct. 1 from the players on their provisional roster. The winner of CONCACAF Cup 2015, featuring the past two Gold Cup champions, will determine the region’s representative at the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup in Russia.

Sporting KC has advanced to the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final where they will face the Philadelphia Union on Wednesday at PPL Park in Chester, Penn. The club will play for its third Open Cup title in team history, having previously lifted the Dewar Challenge Trophy as champions of the tournament in 2004 and 2012. Peter Vermes’ men reached the 2015 final with four home wins in the earlier rounds, beginning with a 1-0 result against USL club Saint Louis FC on June 16. Two weeks later, Dom Dwyer netted a club-record four goals as Sporting KC trounced FC Dallas 6-2 in the Round of 16. Sporting KC erased deficits in the quarterfinals and semifinals, respectively, defeating the Houston Dynamo (July 21) and Real Salt Lake (Aug. 12) by identical 3-1 scorelines. Dwyer is the tournament’s current Golden Boot leader on five goals, and with that total becomes Kansas City’s all-time leading scorer in the competition. Similarly, Benny Feilhaber has surged atop the club’s all-time Open Cup assist chart with five, each of them coming in 2015.

Besler, 28, has played every minute in Sporting Kansas City’s last 31 matches across all competitions and leads all MLS players with 193 clearances in 2015. In his seventh professional season, Besler leads all current players with 213 appearances for the club across all competitions. He is a four-time MLS All-Star to go along with MLS Best XI (2012, 2013) and Defender of the Year (2012) honors. Internationally, Besler has 26 career appearances for the U.S. Men’s National Team since debuting in 2013. He helped lead the U.S. MNT to the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup title and started all four matches for the U.S. at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.

Seeking their first major trophy in team history, the Philadelphia Union will host the U.S. Open Cup Final for a second straight year. Seattle Sounders FC earned a 3-1 extra time victory at PPL Park to claim the 2014 title last September.

Zusi, a fellow Designated Player and 2009 MLS SuperDraft pick, has earned MLS AllStar honors each of the last four seasons to go along with MLS Best XI (2012, 2013) and Breakout Player of the Year (2011) recognitions. The University of Maryland product sits third on Sporting KC’s all-time assists charts (43) and his 24 goals scored are 10th most in team history.

ABOUT THE OPEN CUP

Now in its 102nd edition, the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup was headlined by the largest field in the modern era (1995-present) with 89 teams in contention when the first round began in May. The 2015 champion will win $250,000 in prize money, while the runner-up receives $60,000. The tournament winner qualifies for the group stage of the 2016-17 CONCACAF Champions League.

The 29-year-old has 32 international caps for the United States with three goals and six assists, including two assists at the 2014 FIFA World Cup, since his debut in 2012. This summer, Zusi made three appearances at the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup.

The Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup has been held annually since 1914 and is open to all amateur/professional soccer teams affiliated with U.S. Soccer. It is the oldest ongoing national soccer competition in the U.S. and the world’s third-longest continuously running open soccer tournament. Sporting KC first won the championship in 2004 with a 1-0 win over the Chicago Fire at Arrowhead Stadium. Eight years later, the club lifted its second Open Cup title with a penalty kick shootout triumph over Seattle Sounders FC at Sporting Park.

OPARA OFF DISABLED LIST

Major League Soccer’s Roster Freeze Deadline was enforced on Sept. 15, at which time clubs submitted their final roster for the remainder of the 2015 season. Sporting KC defender Ike Opara was officially removed from the Disabled List and will be eligible for selection upon his recovery from a ruptured Achilles.

PETER THE GREAT

2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Bracket

Seventh-year head coach Peter Vermes has stamped his name in the Sporting KC and MLS history books this season. The 48-year-old began the 2015 campaign with 76 regular season coaching wins, good for 14th most in MLS history. More than six months later, Vermes has climbed to eighth all-time with 88 regular season victories—fifth among active coaches behind Sigi Schmid (221), Bruce Arena (189), Dominic Kinnear (150) and Jason Kreis (99).

Rookie defender Saad Abdul-Salaam was selected by Sporting KC with the 12th overall pick in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft. He made his Sporting KC debut with a substitute appearance in a 4-2 win over New England on May 20 after starting five games on loan for the reigning North American Soccer League champion San Antonio Scorpions. He has made 21 appearances in all competitions this season (17 in MLS) and recorded his first professional assist in a 6-2 U.S. Open Cup win over FC Dallas on July 1. He earned his first MLS start on July 12, a 1-0 win over Vancouver in which Abdul-Salaam received Team of the Week honors from Bleacher Report. Abdul-Salaam played three seasons at the University of Akron (2012-2014), recording three goals and 12 assists in 54 college games. The right back helped Akron win MAC regular season titles in each of his three college seasons. He enjoyed a breakout junior campaign in 2013 with five assists in 19 starts before earning All-MAC First Team honors as a senior in 2014, notching two goals and a team-high six assists while starting all 21 games for the Zips.

Fifth-year MLS defender Jalil Anibaba joined Sporting KC ahead of the 2015 season. He made 112 regular season appearances over four years with the Chicago Fire (2011-2013) and Seattle Sounders FC (2014), recording four goals and six assists. He made his Sporting KC debut on March 21 and scored his first goal for the club in second half stoppage time of a 3-2 win over Philadelphia on April 5. His first of four Sporting KC assists during the month of May was a game-winner to Paulo Nagamura on May 3, and he was named to the fan ballot for the 2015 AT&T MLS All-Star Game. Capable of playing as a centerback or right back, Anibaba made 16 MLS appearances in 2014 and helped Seattle win the Supporters’ Shield title. He also featured in four matches during the club’s run to the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open championship. The 26-year-old spent his first three professional seasons in Chicago, where he played in 96 of the team’s 102 regular season contests from 2011-2013. The defender was named a finalist for Major League Soccer’s Fair Play Award in 2013, starting every regular season match of the campaign. As a youth, Anibaba represented the United States at the under-18 and under-20 national team levels.

Bernardo Anor joined Sporting KC from Columbus Crew SC in December 2014 to become the club’s first offseason acquisition. The 27-year-old native of Venezuela appeared in 72 matches over four seasons with Columbus, scoring 12 goals and adding three game-winning assists since being drafted out of the University of South Florida in 2011. He made his Sporting KC debut with a start on March 8 before being sidelined from May through August with multiple injuries. Anor played 13 MLS matches as a rookie and 11 games in 2012 before suffering a season-ending ACL injury. He returned in 2013 to make 19 MLS starts and earn the club’s Comeback Player of the Year award. He netted a career-high six goals in 2014, helping Columbus earn a postseason berth for the first time since 2011. Anor was South Florida’s top scorer for three seasons during his collegiate career (2007-2010) in which he recorded 21 goals and seven assists. His younger brother, Juan Pablo, plays professionally for Malaga CF in Spain’s La Liga, and his father, Bernardo, represented Venezuela at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow.

Now in his fourth season at Sporting KC, Dom Dwyer is coming off a breakout 2014 campaign in which he garnered Sporting KC Offensive Player of the Year and co-MVP honors. The Englishman set a single season club record with 22 goals, second most in MLS, and his 43 career goals in all competitions are tied for fourth in team history. Dwyer, who was an MLS All-Star in 2014 for the first time in his career, has scored 65 goals in all competitions since the start of 2013—43 for Sporting KC and 22 for former USL PRO affiliate Orlando City SC. He signed a contract extension with the club ahead of the 2015 campaign and leads the team this year with 15 goals in all competitions, including a club-record four goals in a 6-2 U.S. Open Cup win over FC Dallas on July 1. After making three appearances across all competitions during his rookie season, he notched 15 goals in 13 regular season games while on loan with Orlando City SC in 2013 to set USL PRO’s single-season scoring record at the time. He added four goals in the USL PRO final to earn championship MVP honors. Dwyer won two national championships at Tyler (Texas) Junior College (2009, 2010), where he was the national junior college player of the year after scoring 37 goals as a sophomore. Moving on to South Florida in 2011, he scored 16 goals in 21 games.

The 24-year-old has continued his unlikely rise in 2015, registering career highs in MLS with 22 starts and three goals, tied for most among MLS defenders this season. Now in his fifth season with the club, Ellis developed in the Sporting KC Academy while attending Oak Park High School before playing collegiately at Barton County Community College in 2009-10.

The Brazilian began his career with Sao Paulo FC and Arsenal FC in England before coming to the United States to play for the LA Galaxy in 2005, winning the MLS Cup and Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in his first season. He has also played for Toronto FC (2007) and Chivas USA (2007-2011) in MLS, becoming an MLS All-Star in 2009.

Defender Ike Opara is in his sixth season in MLS and third season as a member of Sporting KC. After sitting out almost a year through injury, he returned to the pitch on March 8 and scored Sporting KC’s first goal of the season. He led MLS through Week 6 with 30 interceptions and was nominated for Eithad Airways MLS Player of the Month for March after scoring twice and anchoring a backline that posted two shutouts. He then suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon injury in his right ankle on April 11. The club’s 2013 Newcomer of the Year, Opara appeared in a career-best 18 MLS matches with 15 starts during the club’s MLS Cup-winning campaign. He scored four goals in 2013 across all competitions (all headers) and featured in three of Sporting KC’s playoff matches. A season-ending ankle injury limited him to three MLS appearances in 2014 and two starts in the 2014-15 CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals. Opara represented the United States at the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup, playing all three matches at the tournament, and at the U-23 level during the 2012 CONCACAF Men’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament. He was drafted by the San Jose Earthquakes in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft as a Generation adidas signing and played 36 MLS matches for the club over three seasons.

One of the youngest players under contract in MLS, Erik Palmer-Brown became a homegrown player in August 2013 at age 16. On March 8, he became the youngest MLS player to appear in a team’s regular season opener since 2010 and recorded his first MLS minutes at Sporting Park. The 18-year-old earned his first start of 2015 on May 9 at D.C. Palmer-Brown made his league debut with a start in May 2014, becoming the youngest player in MLS history to start a match as a defender, for the first of six appearances in all competitions (including debuts in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and CONCACAF Champions League). He has played in each of the last two Chipotle MLS Homegrown Games. The Lee’s Summit, Mo. native joined the Sporting KC Academy at age 13 and has represented United States youth national teams at the U-15, U-17, U-18 and U-20 levels. This year, he competed with the U-20s at training camps in England (March 23-30) and Austria (April 18-26) before joining the U.S. Under-20 Men’s National Team for the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup.

A nine-year MLS veteran, Peterson has 16 goals and 15 assists in 223 regular season appearances over the course of his professional career.

As a youth, Peterson represented the United States at the 2003 FIFA U-17 World Championships and 2005 FIFA U-20 World Cup. Four seasons with the Colorado Rapids (2006-09) were followed by stints with Toronto FC (2010-11) and the San Jose Earthquakes (2011) before he was acquired by Sporting KC in 2012.

Sporting KC’s 2014 Defender of the Year, Seth Sinovic is in his sixth MLS season and fifth campaign at his hometown club. A regular fixture at left back, he is the only player on the team to start at least 30 regular season games in each of the last three seasons.

Drafted in 2010 by the New England Revolution, he joined Sporting KC in 2011 and has started 150 of his 152 total appearances for the club in all competitions. He scored his first professional goal in the 2012 MLS Cup Playoffs and registered the second of his career in the 2013 postseason against his former team, helping Sporting KC prevail in the decisive leg of the 2013 Eastern Conference Semifinals. Sinovic received his first call-up to the United States Men’s National Team ahead of the 2014 USMNT January camp.

He has earned Sporting KC MVP honors each of the last three years (twice a co-MVP) and has led the club in assists every year since 2011. He was named to the All-Star Fan XI ahead of the 2015 AT&T MLS All-Star Game on July 29 and is the only player to appear in each of the last four MLS All-Star games. Zusi signed a long-term Designated Player contract with the team in July 2014. Since 2011, he is third in MLS with 400 chances created and second with 386 successful crosses/corners (including playoffs). His 53 career assists in all competitions are third most in club history.

Sporting KC Coach Bios | Sept. 27, 2015 vs. Seattle Sounders FC | 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 enters his seventh season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2015. He is the team’s second-longest serving manager and his 111 coaching victories in all competitions are the most club history. During his tenure, he has won two major trophies – the 2012 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and the 2013 MLS Cup championship – as well as two MLS Eastern Conference regular season titles (2011, 2012). He is the second coach to lead Sporting KC to four 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 88 regular season wins top the club’s all-time chart and rank eighth 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. Vermes oversees all soccer operations for Sporting KC, including the active roster and the Sporting KC Juniors program. Vermes, an original member of Major League Soccer, 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.

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. 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.

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.

On top of his club success in Kansas City, Zavagnin also appeared 21 times for the United States National Team. He recorded one assist for the Red, White and Blue. The U.S. team went 15-2-4 when Zavagnin appeared. Zavagnin married his wife Mirriam prior to the 2009 season, when he became an assistant coach at the club.

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 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 184 MLS matches and playing more than 16,000 minutes. He was nominated on the players’ ballot for the National Soccer Hall of Fame from 2007-2012. In 2013, Vermes was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame. Year

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.

PINEDA WINS AT&T GOAL OF THE WEEK

Sounders FC midfielder Gonzalo Pineda earned his first AT&T Goal of the Week award for his well-placed strike that banged off the far post and into the net. The goal, which extended Seattle’s lead to 2-0 in the 71st minute of an eventual 3-0 win, was the first of the season for Pineda. All three of Pineda’s goals last season for the Rave Green came on penalty kicks. Overall, Seattle has won a league-high seven AT&T Goal of Week honors in the 2015 campaign. Pineda joins Obafemi Martins (three), Clint Dempsey, Tyrone Mears and Marco Pappa as the Sounders FC players to receive the weekly distinction this season.

THROWbACK:08/06/2011

On the brink of a 1-0 loss at Sporting Park on a blistering late summer day, Sounders FC roared to a resilient 2-1 win in second half stoppage time to leave the hosts stunned.

The score remained 1-0 through 90 minutes despite Sporting losing Omar Bravo to ejection in the 59th minute. In second half stoppage time, Seattle midfielder Mauro Rosales sliced through the Sporting defense and tucked a goal inside the far post. Minutes later, the Argentine played a ball to Lamar Neagle, whose shot attempt struck the post and pinged into the net to end Sporting’s 14game unbeaten streak.

Named the first Head Coach of Seattle Sounders FC on December 16, 2008, Sigi Schmid is the winningest coach in MLS history. Since 1999, Schmid’s teams have won nine major titles, including two MLS Cups.

A two-time MLS Coach of the Year, Schmid has led Sounders FC to seven-consecutive appearances in the MLS Cup Playoffs, marking the second-longest active streak while nearing the record for most consecutive postseason appearances by an expansion team.

From 1999 through 2004, Schmid’s L.A. Galaxy teams won four major competitions: the 2002 MLS Cup and Supporters’ Shield, the 2001 U.S. Open Cup and the 2001 CONCACAF Champions Cup. He was voted the MLS Coach of the Year in his first season, 1999. Altogether, his Galaxy teams were 79-53-32 and reached the MLS Cup final four times, winning three division crowns. Schmid has twice served as the U.S. U-20 National Team head coach, most recently in 2005 at the FIFA World Championships. Schmid first forged a winning tradition at his alma mater, UCLA. After serving as an assistant, he was elevated to head coach of the Bruins in 1980, beginning a 19-year run at the helm.
