#SKCvRSL: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City returns home this weekend for a matchup against rivals Real Salt Lake at Children’s Mercy Park. It’s the third meeting between the two sides in all competitions this season, having already squared off in Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup play in June, before facing off once again a month later in MLS regular-season action. In that U.S. Open Cup Fourth Round triumph on June 6, Sporting KC headed to Salt Lake with an unconventional 5-4-1 formation - using a diamond midfield for the first and only time this season to date - and emerged as 2-0 winners after a second-half diving header from Johnny Russell and a first-ever SKC goal in his first-ever SKC start for Kharlton Belmar. Sporting KC returned to Rio Tinto Stadium on July 4, 2018, again scoring twice but this time falling to a 4-2 defeat. Daniel Salloi gave Sporting KC the lead midway through the first half when he fired home Seth Sinovic’s cross, but RSL hit back with a vengeance and scored three times before halftime through Jefferson Savarino, Corey Baird and Sebastian Saucedo. Ike Opara reduced the deficit to one in the second half and Tim Melia kept his side in the game when he stopped Albert Rusnak’s penalty kick, but after Salloi and Roger Espinoza were each sent off - SKC’s only two red cards in 2018 - Luis Silva netted a penalty deep into stoppage time to make the final score 4-2. The two sides split the season series in 2017, going 1-1-1, as Sporting KC picked up a 3-0 home win on April 29, played to a 1-1 draw at Rio Tinto Stadium on July 22, and fell to a 2-1 defeat on the road in the regular-season finale on Oct. 22, 2017. #SKCvRSL: Recent Meetings (RSL leads 11-9-7 in regular season)

Sporting KC Game Notes | September 30, 2018 vs. Real Salt Lake | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes CLINCHING SCENARIOS

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

FLOURISHING RUBIO IN FINE FORM

Sporting Kansas City returns home this weekend to take on Real Salt Lake in a nationally televised contest at Children’s Mercy Park, set to kick off this Sunday at 4 p.m. CT on FOX Sports 1. Sporting KC enters the match knowing that a win will guarantee a club-record eighth straight berth in the MLS Cup Playoffs, stretching back to the 2011 campaign.

Sporting Kansas City forward Diego Rubio has been in a terrific vein of form over the last two months, and he continued his wonderful form with an assist on Gerso Fernandes’ second goal in the 5-1 mauling of San Jose on Sept. 15. Rubio has now recorded either a goal or an assist in eight straight appearances, becoming the first player in Sporting KC history to perform that feat, before missing last weekend’s loss to Philadelphia with a knee issue.

Sporting KC’s magic number is 3 following last weekend’s loss to the Philadelphia Union. If Sporting KC take three points from their last five MLS matches, they will be guaranteed a playoff berth - regardless of how other teams fare in the Western Conference. Sporting KC could also theoretically clinch a spot in the postseason with a draw on Sunday, should two other results fall their way.

Rubio, who boasts five goals in his last six games and now owns a tie for the team lead with eight MLS strikes in 2018, scored the sixth-fastest goal in Sporting KC history in the 3-1 loss to Seattle Sounders FC on Sept. 1 when he lashed the ball into the far corner just one minute and 32 seconds into the contest. It was the earliest goal Sporting KC had scored since a Chance Myers goal just 41 seconds into a 3-2 defeat to the Portland Timbers at Children’s Mercy Park on April 27, 2013.

Sporting KC can clinch a playoff berth this weekend if... Sporting KC beats Real Salt Lake on Sunday (4pm), OR Sporting KC ties Real Salt Lake, AND LA Galaxy ties Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Saturday (9pm), AND FC Dallas beats or ties the Portland Timbers on Saturday (9:30pm)

Rubio’s form earned him a re-call to the Chilean National Team for the first time since earning three caps as an 18-year-old in 2011. During the last international break, Chile’s first match against Japan on Sept. 7 was cancelled due to an earthquake, but Rubio earned his fourth cap with a start for Chile in a 0-0 draw against South Korea on Sept. 11 at Suwon World Cup Stadium in South Korea.

With 18 points taken from their last 24 available, Sporting KC remains firmly in the hunt for a top-seed in the MLS Western Conference as the side currently sits in second place with 51 points - two behind FC Dallas in first. Sporting also has the best goal difference in the West with +18, and has scored the third most goals in the West with 54 - three behind the LA Galaxy and LAFC.

YOUTH IS SERVED

When Sporting Kansas City takes on Real Salt Lake this Sunday at Children’s Mercy Park, two clubs that have given young players opportunities in 2018 will face off against one another. Sporting KC has four Homegrown players that have seen minutes this season, some significant, in Daniel Salloi, Gianluca Busio, Jaylin Lindsey and Wan Kuzain Wan Kamal.

REAL RIVALRY

Sporting Kansas City is back home this weekend as the side prepares to take on Real Salt Lake at Children’s Mercy Park in a nationally televised contest this Sunday, with kickoff set for 4 p.m. CT on FOX Sports 1. Sporting KC is 9-11-7 all-time against RSL in MLS regular-season play, though has won just one of their last 11 games against the Utes, going 1-6-4 since the start of the 2014 campaign.

Real Salt Lake falls into that same category with six Homegrown players that have earned minutes this season: Danilo Acosta, Corey Baird, Justen Glad, Aaron Herrera, Brooks Lennon and Sebastian Saucedo. In light of MLSSoccer.com’s 22-Under-22 list coming out next week, Sporting KC has the second most 22-Under-22 eligible Homegrown players to have played a minimum of six matches in 2018 across all clubs in MLS with Busio, Lindsey and Kuzain all eligible only trailing RSL who has Acosta, Glad, Herrera, Lennon and Saucedo all in contention.

Sporting KC has already faced Salt Lake twice in 2018, once in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and once in MLS action. The first match took place at Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, Utah on June 6, 2018 in the Fourth Round of the Open Cup, with Sporting KC earning a convincing 2-0 victory. Following a goalless first half, Kharlton Belmar - on his first-ever Sporting KC start - sent in a cross that found Johnny Russell, whose diving header nestled into the corner. Later in the half, Russell turned provider for Belmar, sending in a low cross that was bundled home to seal the victory. That match also marked the first time that Sporting KC captain Matt Besler had faced off against his younger brother, Nick Besler, who plays for RSL.

SCORING STREAK COMES TO AN END

Sporting Kansas City missed the chance to clinch a berth in the MLS Cup Playoffs when the side dropped to a 2-0 defeat against the Philadelphia Union at Talen Energy Stadium, which also saw Sporting KC’s scoring streak come to a disappointing conclusion.

Approximately one month later, Sporting KC returned to Rio Tinto Stadium for an MLS clash on July 4, 2018, this time falling to a 4-2 defeat. The game started well for Peter Vermes’ side as Daniel Salloi fired home Seth Sinovic’s cross, but Salt Lake hit back with three goals before the halftime break from Jefferson Savarino, Corey Baird and Sebastian Saucedo. Ike Opara pulled a goal back in the second half and Tim Melia stopped a Albert Rusnak penalty to ensure a frantic finish, but Luis Silva scored his side’s second penalty kick attempt of the day in stoppage time after Salloi and Roger Espinoza had been sent off - still Sporting KC’s only two red cards of the 2018 season.

Last Sunday’s result marked the first time since June 30 - another 2-0 road defeat, this one to the Montreal Impact - that Sporting KC had been shut out, snapping an 11-game MLS scoring streak. This surge through the heart of summer was tied for the sixth-longest single-season scoring streak in club history, falling four matches short of Sporting KC’s all-time record set during the inaugural 1996 MLS campaign. The 11-game scoring streak was the longest Sporting KC has had in seven years, having scored in 14 straight games from June 25 through Sept. 10, 2011. Sporting KC has been shut out just six times all season (32 games across all competitions), compared to 13 times across 40 games in 2017.

KALEN RICKETSON ADDED TO SKC ROSTER

Sporting Kansas City announced on Wednesday that the club will sign Kalen Ricketson, an 18-year-old battling osteosarcoma, ahead of this Sunday’s match against Real Salt Lake at Children’s Mercy Park. Ricketson, from Stillwater, Okla., has battled bone cancer since being diagnosed in December 2015, when he underwent his first of 13 surgeries over the last three years. In 2016, reoccurring tumors were discovered near his left elbow on two separate occasions and in 2017, the cancer spread to his left wrist.

SPREADING THE WEALTH

Sporting Kansas City’s 5-1 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday, Sept. 15 continued a season-long trend that has seen Peter Vermes’ side find the back of the net at will. The 2018 MLS campaign has seen a balanced Sporting KC attack piece together one of the best scoring seasons in club history. Goals have flowed in steady bunches, and from numerous sources, both in the friendly confines of Children’s Mercy Park and away from home.

Amidst six rounds of chemotherapy treatment and two weeks removed from wrist replacement surgery, Ricketson was a special guest at Children’s Mercy Park on July 29, 2017 along with his parents, Chad and Crystal, and siblings, Alissa and Cole. Ricketson was the first Victory Project honoree to sit in the Victory Suite’s orange chair, in tribute to the late Neal Patterson, as part of Sporting KC’s tradition of honoring a child with cancer at every home match.

From a goals per game perspective, Sporting KC is currently enjoying its most prolific season ever. With 54 goals through 29 matches, the club is averaging an all-time best 1.86 goals per game. Sporting KC is seven goals shy of tying the regular-season team record of 61, set during its inaugural season in 1996.

This year, Ricketson’s left arm was amputated between the shoulder and the elbow in response to new tumor growth. The Victory Project helped cover costs incurred by the family for the procedure and, in May, Ricketson graduated from Meridian Technology Center with a certificate in computer networking.

Sporting KC’s stunning offense, combined with a consistently solid backline, has helped the side boast a goal difference of plus-18. That’s the third-best mark in MLS, and if the season ended today, it would be tied for Kansas City’s best goal difference ever. From a statistical sense, this is one of Sporting KC’s most versatile attacks in club history. This is the second team in club history to have four players with seven or more MLS goals (2005). This is the second team in club history to have five players with five or more MLS goals AND five players with five or more MLS assists (1997). This is the first team in club history to have 12 players with two or more goals, and the second team in club history to have 12 players with two or more assists (1998).

In July, Ricketson learned his cancer had returned when a chest CT scan revealed tumors in his lungs, requiring right lung surgery on July 16 and left lung surgery on Aug. 21. Three weeks later, Ricketson recovered to attend his first U.S. Men’s National Team match – a 1-0 victory over Mexico on Sept. 11 in Nashville – and will now continue his momentous month as the newest member of Sporting Kansas City’s roster, complete with the number 24 uniform, for the club’s annual Childhood Cancer Awareness Match. 3

Sporting KC Game Notes | September 30, 2018 vs. Real Salt Lake | 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 21 of the club’s 32 matches in all competitions this season and has only been shutout six times. Sporting KC is tied for the fifth highest scoring team in MLS so far in 2018 with 54 goals, while the side has scored 61 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 15 different goalscorers so far this year in MLS play - which is tied for the second highest number of different goalscorers across a single squad this season. So far in 2018, SKC has found goals from Johnny Russell (8), Diego Rubio (8), Daniel Salloi (7), Felipe Gutierrez (7), Gerso Fernandes (5), Ilie Sanchez (4), Khiry Shelton (2), Graham Zusi (2), Jimmy Medranda (2), Cristian Lobato (2), Yohan Croizet (2), Ike Opara (2), Wan Kuzain Wan Kamal (1), Roger Espinoza (1) and Krisztian Nemeth (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 54 goals through 29 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 15 road games this year, Sporting KC has already surpassed the last two year’s combined total in goals with 24 and has already recorded six road wins over the Chicago Fire (March 10), the LA Galaxy (April 8), Atlanta United FC (May 9), the Houston Dynamo (Aug. 4), LAFC (Aug. 11) and San Jose (Sept. 15). Sporting also only scored multiple goals on the road two times in 2017 but has done so in eight of the club’s 15 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.

LONGEST MLS PLAYOFF STREAKS Club Seasons LA Galaxy 10 (1996-2005) Seattle Sounders FC 9 (2009-2017) *active LA Galaxy 8 (2009-2016) New York Red Bulls 8 (2010-2017) *active NE Revolution 8 (2002-2009) Real Salt Lake 7 (2008-2014) Sporting KC 7 (2011-2017) *active

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.

LONGEST MLS PLAYOFF STREAKS BY A COACH WITH THE SAME TEAM Coach Club Years Seasons Bruce Arena LA Galaxy 8 2009-2016 Steve Nicol NE Revolution 8 2002-2009 Peter Vermes Sporting KC 7 2011-2017 (active) Sigi Scmid Seattle Sounders 7 2009-2015 LA Galaxy 6 1999-2004 Jason Kreis Real Salt Lake 6 2008-2013

Vermes has compiled a 161-115-90 record in all competitions with Sporting KC, including a remarkable 20-6-3 mark in U.S. Open Cup contests. Vermes’ 130 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.

CONTINUITY ABOUND

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 2-0 loss to the Philadelphia Union at Talen Energy Stadium on September 23, 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.

On the game: “I don’t think the score is indicative of the result, I think if we had 20 more minutes we would have scored today. For some reason we just couldn’t hit the back of the net. We created a lot of great chances, we were shooting but it felt like we just weren’t finishing.” On the result: “This league is what it is. Maybe 15 or 20 percent of the time you win. Not saying we accept that but we have achieved a few points on the road. We have 3 games left at home, it would be nice to get these points.”

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 strategy moving forward: “Just get points. There is no other strategy, just get points. We don’t need to change anything; we have been doing a lot of good things, just get points.”

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. 4
