SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs COLUMBUS CREW LIVESTRONG SPORTING PARK, Kansas City, Kan. 7:30 p.m. CT (KSMO; ONN) September 28, 2011 (WEEK 29; MLS Game 275) It’s another huge game in the Eastern Conference when Sporting Kansas City play host to the Columbus Crew on Wednesday night at Livestrong Sporting Park. The teams enter the game tied for second place in the division, just a point behind leaders Houston Dynamo, with four games left to play.

Kevin Burns sent a service into the penalty area where Dilly Duka flicked the pass back to Robbie Rogers on the left. Rogers chested the ball, then slotted a shot past KC goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen. Sporting finished the game a man down when defender Julio Cesar was sent off for a second caution in the 72nd minute.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City returned home and kept their place in the Eastern Conference playoff race, reaching a 1-1 draw with Philadelphia Union on Friday evening at Livestrong Sporting Park. Sporting have 41 points from 30 matches on the season, in a tie for second place in the Eastern Conference. LAST MATCH Sporting took the lead 11 minutes into the second half. Kei Kamara chipped a delicate cross to the back post for Omar Bravo, who beat a defender to the ball and lashed it past goalkeeper Zac MacMath.
MLS GAME INFORMATION
But Union drew even just seven minutes later. Michael Farfan was able to keep the ball alone on the endline and laid it back for Sebastien Le Toux, who hammered home the equalizer from the corner of the six-yard box. Sporting manager Peter Vermes made two changes to the team that went down to a 1-0 defeat by Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium. Chance Myers and Jeferson came back into the team, in place of Michael Harrington and Aurelien Collin. SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-3-2-1): Jimmy Nielsen - Chance Myers, Julio Cesar, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic Graham Zusi, Roger Espinoza, Jeferson (Aurelien Collin 46) - Kei Kamara, Omar Bravo (Soony Saad 89) Teal Bunbury (C.J. Sapong 62). TEAM NEWS While Sporting are unbeaten in their last three games at Livestrong Sporting Park, they’ve taken just five points from those contests. They have two home games remaining among their final four regular-season matches. “You can call this the playoffs [already],” goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen said. “We’ve got a big game coming up again on Wednesday. We’ve got to get this game out of our system and look forward to the Columbus game.” Omar Bravo has scored three goals in the last five games after going more than a month without hitting the back of the net. He took over the SKC lead with nine goals. He tries to get on the end of things because of runs. He is not typically in the buildup of the game,” said Sporting manager Peter Vermes. “He is the guy that gets on the end of stuff because his running off the ball is so good. He got on the end of the goal which is normally what he does.” Vermes changed his team’s look at halftime, bringing on Aurelien Collin for Jeferson. Collin went into the back four with Julio Cesar moving forward into central midfield. “At that time our triangle was two holding with one in front as him as the playmaker. I just didn’t think it was working so I moved Julio into the middle of the midfield as the one and just inverted the triangle,” Vermes said. “I thought tactically it solved all of the issues we needed. Julio brings experience and calmness and when he gets the ball it is very easy for us to build out through that central channel.” After getting two assists in the opening game of the season, Kei Kamara went nearly six months and 26 league games without one. He now has two in the last three games. “The way our system is, it always puts most teams in a mismatch situation with a guy like him. I think the only team that has a guy that’s even remotely close to his size is Seattle with Tyson Wahl when he’s playing left back,” Vermes said. “Outside of that, with everyone else it’s just a physical mismatch.You incorporate that with his movement off the ball now is just fantastic and then the players being able to play him into the channels and in those seams, he becomes a handful.” COLUMBUS CREW The Columbus Crew had their winless run extended to five games in cruel fashion, suffering a 1-0 loss to the LA Galaxy on Saturday night at Crew Stadium. The Crew have 41 points from 30 games on the season, now in a tie for second place in the Eastern Conference. LAST MATCH The game's lone goal came three minutes into second-half stoppage time. Landon Donovan took a pass from Sean Franklin and fired a powerful drive that William Hesmer was able to save but not hold, and Chad Barrett was quickest to it to knock the ball into the empty net. Crew head coach Robert Warzycha made three changes to the team that fell 1-0 to Philadelphia Union at PPL Park. Chad Marshall came back into central defense for Eric Gehrig, and Emmanuel Ekpo and Josh Gardner also returned to the team in place of Dejan Rusmir and Tommy Heinemann. COLUMBUS CREW (4-1-4-1): William Hesmer - Sebastian Miranda, Chad Marshall, Julius James, Shaun Francis - Danny O'Rourke - Dilly Duka (Cole Grossman 89), Robbie Rogers, Emmanuel Ekpo, Josh Gardner (Emilio Renteria 65) - Andres Mendoza. TEAM NEWS Following back-to-back 1-0 defeats to Philadelphia and LA, the Crew have fallen out of the top spot in the Eastern Conference for the first time since mid-July – when they left the top spot after their first 1-0 defeat to LA. “I don’t know what we were doing,” goalkeeper William Hesmer said. “… Why we just can’t get the ball out of our corner in the 90th minute, I don’t know. We got cute with it a couple of times. … In our third [of the field] in the 90th minute of a 0-0 game at this point of the season we’ve got to be going through and winning the ball. Somebody’s got to take command and not let that happen.” The loss extended the Crew’s winless run to five games, in which they’ve lost four. They haven’t scored a goal in 194 minutes. Warzycha set out his club with a five-man midfield, with Robbie Rogers and Emmanuel Ekpo in attacking central midfield spots behind Andres Mendoza. “I think we played against a very good team and in the first half I think they kept possession very well. The last 15 minutes of the first half I think we figured out how to play. In the second half, when Emilio [Renteria] came in,
MLS GAME INFORMATION
I think the game came alive,” Warzycha said. “We created a couple chances that were difficult for Saunders to save, then we let the ball bounce at the end of the game and it cost us a goal.” With the match three-quarters old, Warzycha brought Emilio Renteria in place of left-sided midfielder Josh Gardner, to partner Mendoza. “He didn’t have a free role, he was the one attacker but he still created chances. Obviously, he’s not fit for 90 minutes, but for the 30 minutes he was on the field I think he gave us a lot,” Warzycha said.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY HEADLINES PLAYOFF PREVIEW? | Sporting Kansas City and the Philadelphia Union are tied for second place in the Eastern Conference standings entering their match on Wednesday night at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park. If the standings remain the same through the final four games of the regular season, the two teams would meet in a home-and-home Eastern Conference semifinal. Sporting Kansas City and Columbus sit one point back of the Houston Dynamo for first place in the Eastern Conference. The club’s climb up the table came courtesy of a 14-game unbeaten run that stretched from May to August. The unbeaten streak matched the longest run in MLS this season and equalled the 3rd longest in MLS history. PLAYOFF FORMAT | The top three finishers in each conference, based on regular season points will receive each of the six automatic berths available. The next best four clubs based on regular season points, irrespective of conference, will occupy the four wild card spots. The four wild cards will play single-elimination games against each other, with higher seeds hosting (1 vs. 4; 2 vs. 3). After the two play-in games conclude, the lowest remaining seed will face the Supporters’ Shield winner in the Conference Semifinals; the other remaining wild card will face the No. 1 seed in the opposite conference from the Supporters’ Shield winner.
Wednesday’s match against the Columbus Crew at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park, the club will travel to face the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday. After an off weekend and international friendly against Chivas Guadalajara on October 12th, Sporting Kansas City will close out the 2011 regular season with matches against Eastern Conference foes New York Red Bulls and D.C. United. Sporting Kansas City finished in third place in 2010 -- the team’s best finish since finishing first in 2004 -- but missed the playoffs for the second straight season.
NOTEWORTHY MILESTONES -- Sporting Kansas City defender Shavar Thomas is 29 minutes shy of surpassing 7,500 regular season minutes played in his Sporting KC career, third most among all current Sporting KC players. -- Sporting Kansas City midfielder Roger Espinoza is 47 minutes shy of surpassing 6,000 minutes played, including postseason, in his KC and MLS career, fourth most among all current Sporting KC players. -- Sporting Kansas City midfielder Davy Arnaud is two minutes shy of surpassing 20,000 minutes played in his MLS and KC career, when including postseason. He will become only the third player to break the barrier in their KC career, along with Nick Garcia and Kerry Zavagnin. -- Arnaud has played 236 regular season games in his Kansas City career and is one game from tying Kerry Zavagnin for most regular season games played by a Sporting KC player in their career.
The LA Galaxy, Seattle Sounders FC and Real Salt Lake are the first three teams to secure spots in the 2011 MLS Cup Playoffs. POSTSEASON PUSH | With four games remaining in the 2011 MLS regular season, Sporting Kansas City will play twice at home and twice on the road in the final month of the season. Following

TONIGHT’S MATCH With only four games left to play the Crew visits LIVESTRONG Park in Kansas City, Mo., for the first time tonight for an all-important battle for the Eastern Conference lead against Sporting KC. The Black & Gold is looking to bounce back from the recent results, including the 1-0 loss incurred against the LA Galaxy last Saturday, Sept. 24, and regain its first-place spot relinquished to the Houston Dynamo over the weekend. Sporting KC (10-9-11, 41 pts.) and the Crew (11-11-8, 41 pts.) are tied for second in the conference after Kansas City drew the Philadelphia Union 1-1 last Friday (Sept. 23) at LIVESTRONG Park. Kansas City is led by Mexican international Omar Bravo, who has nine goals on the season, followed closely by former Crew forward Kei Kamara with eight. Midfielder Graham Zusi leads KC in assists with six. The Crew leads the all-time series against Sporting KC with a record of 20-17-5. The last time the two teams met in Kansas City at CommunityAmerica Ballpark on May 23, 2010, the Crew edged KC 1-0 behind a goal by Emilio Renteria. Earlier this season, on April 16, the Crew defeated Sporting by the same score of 1-0 with a well-placed shot by midfielder Robbie Rogers. The Black & Gold returns home for the final regular season match on Sunday, October 2, at 4 p.m. as it hosts D.C. United at Crew Stadium. CREW JUMPS INTO FIRST PLACE IN RESERVE LEAGUE WITH WIN OVER UNION The Crew defetaed the Philadelphia Union 2-1 at Chester Park in Wallingford, Pa., in a MLS Reserve League match on Sunday, Sept. 18. Emmanuel Ekpo had a goal and an assist responding to Philadelphia’s Jack McInerney’s goal with a well-placed shot from outside the box, and then assisting on Josh Gardner’s game-winner. With three games left to play (at home against D.C. on Oct. 4, and New York on Oct. 10, and at New England on Oct.16), the Black & Gold (6-1-0, 18 pts.) leads the East Division of the Reserve League one point ahead of D.C. United (5-0-2, 17 pts.) CREW JAM 2011 OCT. 12 AT THE SOCIAL ROOM, FEATURING PERFORMANCE BY HEINEMANN The Crew Soccer Foundation will hold a very special event on Wednesday, Oct. 12, at The Social Room (527 Park Street). Crew Jam 2011 will feature unique silent auction packages, hors d’oeuvres, wine and dessert tastings, and a special live performance by singer-songwriter – and Crew forward – Tommy Heinemann. For more information and to purchase tickets visit www.thecrew.com/form/crew-jam. FRANCIS AND O’ROURKE PLAY 90 MINUTES IN FIRST START OF THE SEASON Defender Shaun Francis and midfielder Danny O’Rourke returned to the pitch on Sept. 14, against the Houston Dynamo playing the full 90 minutes of the match. It was the first start and secodn appearance for both players. Francis had previously played four minutes against the New York Red Bulls on June 4 before re-injuring his groin which had kept him out of the lineup the whole season. O’Rourke, who underwent knee surgery last November, had previously appeared in the July 2 loss at FC Dallas playing 21 minutes. JEFF CUNNINGHAM IS NOW ALL-TIME MLS GOAL-SCORING LEADER Crew forward Jeff Cunningham scored his record-breaking 134th career goal on Aug. 27, in a 6-2 loss at Seattle. Cunningham slotted a well-taken penalty kick to the right of Sounders goalkeeper Kasey Keller in the 59th minute, only two minutes after entering the match as a substitute. Cunningham now sits atop the league’s all-time goal-scoring list, one ahead of former D.C. United forward Jaime Moreno. He is also the Crew’s alltime leading goal-scorer, with 64 of his league-record total having come in Black & Gold. CREW COACH INKS NEW MULTI-YEAR CONTRACT The Columbus Crew and Hunt Sports Group announced Sept. 1, that they signed head coach Robert Warzycha to a new multi-year contract. Warzycha is currently in his third full season as the Crew’s head coach. One of the Black & Gold’s all-time greats on the field, he is now in his 10th season on the club’s coaching staff overall. In the midst of his tenure as an assistant coach, Warzycha also distinguished himself during a 16-game stint as the Crew’s interim head coach from July 12, 2005 through the end of that season. After taking over a 4-10-2 team, he went 7-6-3 the rest of the way. Overall, Warzycha has posted a 45-29-28 regular-season record on the Crew sidelines and a 55-41-33 mark in all competitions. His .578 regular-season winning percentage is the best in club history, and his teams have fashioned a 30-8-11 record and .724 winning percentage at home.
ROBBIE ROGERS EARNS TWO STARTS FOR U.S. NATIONAL TEAM Crew midfielder Robbie Rogers was on national team duty during the Crew’s break. Rogers started both matches – against Costa Rica on Sept. 2, at the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., and at Belgium on Tuesday (Sept. 6), in Brussels. The U.S. lost both matches, 1-0. JULIUS JAMES SHINES IN WC QUALIFIERS FOR TRINIDAD & TOBAGO Crew defender Julius James was instrumental in anchoring the back line for his native Trinidad & Tobago in World Cup qualifying victories over Bermuda, 1-0 on Sept. 2, and Barbados, 2-0 on Sept. 6. “We had a good mix of local and overseas players,” head coach Otto Pfister told Socawarriors.net following Tuesday’s game. “Today, [Seon] Power was the best player on the field and he is a local player. And I was also very happy with [Julius] James. Today he played a perfect game.” EKPO EARNS FIRST CAP WITH NIGERIAN SENIOR NATIONAL TEAM Crew midfielder Emmanuel Ekpo earned his first cap with the Nigeria’s senior national team on Tuesday, Sept. 6, as he featured in a friendly match against world-power Argentina that was played in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Ekpo came on in the 70th minute of the 3-1 loss. The Crew midfielder was scheduled to play against Ghana in a friendly in Watford, England, last month but that match was canceled due to rioting in the area. CREW RECORDS GOAL No. 700 The game tying goal on Saturday (Aug.13) was goal number 700 for the Columbus Crew franchise. The first goal recorded by the crew was an own goal against D.C United on April 14, 1996 at Ohio Stadium. Incidentally the 700th goal was also an own goal. The Crew is only one of four teams to have reached the 700 club behind DC, LA and Dallas. CREW COACH ROBERT WARZYCHA CELEBRATES 100TH MATCH WITH VICTORY Crew head coach Robert Warzycha reached a milestone last Saturday (Aug.13) by being on the sidelines to coach his 100th regular season match in Black & Gold. The team responded by giving Warzycha great cause to celebrate with the thrilling 3-1 win over Eastern Conference foe New England Revolution. ROBBIE ROGERS SHINES WITH NATIONAL TEAM IN MATCH AGAINST MEXICO Crew midfielder Robbie Rogers was called into National Team camp by new head coach Jurgen Klinsmann for the friendly match against Mexico on Wednesday, Aug. 10, in Philadelphia. The Crew Midfielder entered the match in the 72nd minute and scored the equalizing goal in the 73rd in the 1-1 draw. Rogers was called in to replace Glasgow Rangers midfielder Maurice Edu, who was injured in a friendly against EPL side Chelsea. Rogers will returned to Columbus after the match and proceeded to record an assist in the match against New England on August 13. CREW JUNIORS WIN SECOND STRAIGHT USL SUPER 20 LEAGUE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP The Crew Juniors made it back-to-back USL Super-20 national titles with a 4-1 victory over the Toronto Lynx Sunday in Tampa, Fla. Toronto’s goal in the final was the only one conceded by the Crew in five tournament games, while it scored 16 in rolling to its second consecutive championship. Four different players scored for the Black & Gold, coached by Crew technical director Brian Bliss, including Ben Speas who had five in the tournament. ANDY GRUENEBAUM MARKS FIRST MLS APPEARANCE SINCE 2009 WITH SHUTOUT Goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum made his first MLS start since Aug. 30, 2009 at New York, replacing William hesmer who was a late scratch for the Portland match on July 23. Gruenebaum went on to record three saves GROSSMAN MAKES MLS DEBUT Rookie M/D Cole Grossman made his MLS debut in Saturday’s (July 23) 1-0 victory over Portland, coming on in the 78th minute for Sebastian Miranda. Grossman has previously seen action for the Crew in CONCACAF Champions League and Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup play, even scoring the Crew’s lone goal in its 2-1 Open Cup setback vs. Richmond June 28, but Saturday’s was his first appearance in a league match.
2 The Crew (11-11-8, 41 pts.) relinquished its first-place spot in the Eastern Conference to the Houston Dynamo, who defeated FC Dallas on Saturday (9/24). The Black & Gold moved into a tie for second with Sporting KC which makes tonight’s match all the more important. 43 This will be the 43rd meeting between the Crew and Sporting KC and the first at LIVESTRONG Park. The Black & Gold leads the series with a record of 20-17-5 6002 Emmanuel Ekpo played 6,002 minutes in Major League Soccer, all of them in Black & Gold. The Nigerian international is only three games away from playing his 100th career regular season match. 2,684 Sebastian Miranda is the only Crew player to have appeared in every match this season. He also leads the team in minutes played with 2,684 25 Robbie Rogers appeared in his 25th match this season. The young midfielder has two goals and six assists this season. 79 Defender Julius James is one match away from his 80th MLS appearance. James split his matches between four teams: Toronto FC (13), Houston Dynamo (8), D.C. United (31) and the Crew (27) 141 The Crew has taken 141 corner kicks this season. The bulk (53) has been taken by Eddie Gaven. Sebastian Miranda (29), Josh Gardner (27), Bernardo Anor (23) as well as Shaun Francis (four), Dilly Duka (two) and Tommy Heinemann, Robbie Rogers and Chad Marshall (one each), have all stepped in to take corners in Gaven’s absence. 134 Jeff Cunningham’s record breaking goal came in the 59th minute of the match at Seattle on August 27.
