D.C. United Team Notes
#SKCvDC: BY THE NUMBERS
• Forward Alan Pulido was teammates with D.C.’s Tony Alfaro at Chivas Guadalajara in 2019.
• Goalkeeper Tim Melia was playing for Chivas USA’s first team while D.C.’s Brendon Hines-Ike was in the club’s academy in 2012.
• Midfielder Graham Zusi has one goal and four assists against D.C. United. He scored the game-winner and tallied an assist in a 2-1 win at Children’s Mercy Park on Aug. 11, 2012, while he also recorded the game-winning assist on March 10, 2010 at RFK Stadium.
• Sporting rank second in MLS since the start of August with 7.3 shots on goal per match, behind only Philadelphia at 7.5 per game.
• Midfielder Remi Walter ranks fourth in MLS in distance covered (200.2 miles) and fourth among field players in recoveries (219). His three goals are a careerhigh for a single league season dating back to 2013. Walter is the only Sporting player to start in all 30 MLS matches this year and ranks seventh among MLS field players in minutes played (2,615).
NOTEWORTHY MILESTONES
• D.C. ranks last in MLS in points (27), goal differential (-27), wins (seven) and shots per game (10.3). Their 17 losses are tied with Charlotte for the most in MLS, while their 59 goals conceded are the most in the Eastern Conference.
• Forward Johnny Russell, who leads Sporting with eight regular season goals and 10 goals in all competitions, has become the first player in Sporting history to score six goals in five consecutive regular seasons.
The last time DCU visited Kansas City, Felipe Gutierrez’s early deflected goal was enough to see Sporting KC take all three points in a tight affair at Children’s Mercy Park in late March. The goal was Gutierrez’s fifth in his first five MLS games and culminated with him winning MLS Player of the Month honors for March.

• Forwards Taxi Fountas (11 goals) and Ola Kamara (nine goals) have combined for 20 of D.C.’s 32 regular season goals this year. Fountas, who has missed the last three games in concussion protocol, leads D.C. with 11 goals and 14 goal contributions this season. However, he has gone six straight regular season appearances without a goal or an assist since the start of August.
#SKCvDC: Recent Meetings (D.C. leads 22-21-13 in regular season)
KC 1 vs DC 1 T Arrieta scores for D.C., Dwyer equalizes

Date Score Result Details
Sporting Kansas City (8-16-7, 31 pts.) is set to host the first of three consecutive home matches to end their 2022 slate at Children’s Mercy Park when the team faces off against D.C. United (7-17-6, 27 pts.) on Tuesday night.
• Sporting have averaged 25.2 touches in the opponent’s box per game since the start of August. They averaged 18.3 in the 24 league matches prior.
• Last month, forward Willy Agada became the third player in Sporting history to bag five goals in his first five MLS appearances for the club (Miklos Molnar in 2000, Felipe Gutierrez in 2018). He has five goals in his last five appearances.
Sporting have struggled against D.C. over their most recent meetings, winning just one of their last eight - which happened to come during D.C.’s last visit to Children’s Mercy park on March 31, 2018. Since the start of 2014, Sporting has gone 1-4-3 across against D.C., including a 1-2-0 mark at Children’s Mercy Park.
• Midfielder Chris Durkin leads D.C. with five assists this season (Julian Gressel had seven assists for the club prior to joining Vancouver via trade in July). Durkin’s five assists are an MLS career-high.
• D.C. has conceded 24 goals after the 60th minute, tied with Sporting for the most in MLS.

• Goalkeeper Kendall McIntosh was playing for the New York Red Bulls while D.C.’s Jackson Hopkins was in the club’s academy in 2020.

• Sporting are 3-1-2 since the start of August with a winning percentage of 66.7%, the best clip in the Western Conference and tied with Orlando for fourth-best in MLS behind Philadelphia, Montreal and Cincinnati.
• Midfielder Roger Espinoza played with D.C. fullback Andy Najar on the Honduras National Team from 2011-2019.
• Despite their position at the bottom of the table, D.C. enters Tuesday unbeaten in three with a 2-1 road win over New York City FC on Aug. 31 and consecutive 0-0 draws against Colorado on Sept. 4 and Real Salt Lake on Sept. 10.
• D.C. went 497 regular season minutes without scoring a goal from Aug. 3-31, the longest draught in MLS this season.
• D.C. are 3-10-2 on the road but have secured results in each of their last two away games, a 2-1 road win at NYCFC and a 0-0 draw at RSL on Saturday.

The most recent meeting in D.C. came at freshly opened Audi Field on May 12, 2019, with the hosts claiming a narrow 1-0 victory behind Paul Arriola’s stunning late winner against an injury-ravaged Sporting KC side that was missing 10 first team players and was only able to dress four substitutes.

Sporting and D.C. have not faced off against each other much in recent years, with the last meeting between the two sides coming all the way back on May 12, 2019 at Audi Field. That night, Sporting was ravaged with injuries following their recent elimination from the Concacaf Champions League, and D.C. claimed a 1-0 victory with Paul Arriola scoring a stunning winner late on. Sporting were without 10 first team players on the night and could only dress four players on the bench.
Pulskamp made an excellent stop to prevent Corey Baird from giving the hosts the lead early in the second half, rushing off his line to charge down the winger’s attempt. Later in the half, Pulskamp denied Fafa Picault’s drive from the edge of the area. However, Pulskamp saved his best save for last - one that he wasn’t credited with - as he tipped Thor Ulfarsson’s thunderous attempt onto the crossbar deep into second-half stoppage
Espinoza came off the bench in the second half along with Uri Rosell, Cam Duke, Marinos Tzionis and Robert Voloder - with the latter two earning their first significant minutes since July.
Sporting Kansas City has been hanging on by a thread in their chase for a berth in the MLS Cup Playoffs over the last few months, and there is an possibility that the dream mathematically comes to an end on Tuesday night.
Sporting has work to do this season not only to stand a chance of making the postsea son, but also to avoid finishing dead last in MLS for the first time in club history. SKC is currently in fourth-to-last place in the overall standings, four points ahead of D.C. United who Sporting are set to host on Tuesday, Sept. 13.
Sporting Kansas City newcomers Willy Agada and Erik Thommy have breathed fresh life into Sporting’s season since their arrival in late July. Agada’s flying form has seen him tally five goals and two assists in just seven starts - all coming in the last six gameswhile the Nigerian currently averages 1.02 goal contributions per 90 minutes.
AGADA & THOMMY ADD NEW DIMENSION FOR SPORTING
CENTER FORWARD GS GLS AST
a narrow lead in the all-time regular-season series, going 22-21-13 since the two teams entered the league in 1996. Sporting has struggled against DCU since the start of 2014, going 1-4-3 with a 1-2-0 mark at Children’s Mercy Park.
SPREADING THE MINUTES WITH QUICK TURNAROUND
“I think that we just weren’t dangerous enough in the game. They did a good job of sitting deep, parking the bus and then trying to counter from there. What, at times, we did very well was we actually did move the ball, but we kept getting impatient and then the impatience also created hesitancy on our part. When you should play the ball, you wait a second, it’s a second too late. Now when the next guy gets the ball, it’s not a good ball. He’s now under pressure, which he wouldn’t have been if you given it a second earlier. Those little details didn’t give us the opportunities in and around the box to better looks. Now we had some really good opportunities on the left side where we got in deep into their box and towards the goal line, and we were inside there. I wasn’t out there, so it’s hard from where we sit, but it seemed to me there were quite a few opportunities where we could have found us, but they were there to clear the ball or we just played it to them. I just don’t know which one. I’ll have to see it later. We could have been much better in that final third. If you’re already up 1-0 and you’re winning, it’s a little different mindset the way you play. If you get the goal, then all of a sudden the game changes and now they have a different mentality. Credit to them, they fought for the game.”

Sporting Kansas City returns home this week for a pair of matches at Children’s Mercy Park. First up is fellow strugglers D.C. United - who currently sit last in the Supporters’ Shield standings with 27 points, four behind Sporting KC who are fourth-to-last - this Tuesday night.
Willy Agada 7 5 2
Buoyed by newcomers Willy Agada (5 goals, 2 assist) and Erik Thommy (2 goals), Sporting have scored 14 goals in their last six games, after only scoring 19 across their first 24 matches this season. The team has gotten more solid defensively as well, as the team has posted shutouts in two of their last three games with goalkeeper John Pulskamp earning plaudits for his performances.

“Am I disappointed (in how we played)? No. I don’t think that we were bad. I just don’t think that we were clicking offensively. Am I disappointed (in the result)? Sure, I’m disappointed. I want to get three points. We just couldn’t get a goal. That’s what I’m disappointed in.”
Thoughts on the match:
• Sporting Kansas City win vs. D.C. United AND LA Galaxy win at Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Wednesday
Only three players in club history have recorded seven goal contributions in their first seven MLS regular season matches for the club: Preki, Alan Pulido and Agada. The 22-year-old is also one of only three MLS newcomers to record seven goal contributions in their first seven regular season matches this year along with D.C.

“The interchanging of and turning and playing little combination play was good. When you’re doing that, that part is very good. But we have got to find somebody and we have got to stick the ball into the back of the net. That’s what we didn’t have today.”
Sporting Kansas City goalkeeper John Pulskamp continued his fine recent form with a three-save performance to post his second shutout over the last three games during Saturday night’s 0-0 draw with Houston Dynamo FC at PNC Stadium in Texas. The 21-year-old kept his first clean sheet of the season in the 1-0 win over San Jose at Children’s Mercy Park on Aug. 27.
After making two changes from last weekend’s 2-2 draw in LA against the Galaxy, with Ben Sweat and Felipe Hernandez replacing Logan Ndenbe and Roger Espinoza, Vermes used his full compliment of substitutes with an eye on the quick turnaround to D.C. United on Tuesday night.
Nikola Vujnovic 4 0 0
Agada and Thommy have combined for seven goals and two assists since the start of August. The team had scored just 19 goals over the team’s first 24 MLS matches in 2022, but have now scored 14 in their last six - with Agada and Thommy accounting for half of those goals.

Heothers.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.
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.
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 512 total games during his Kansas City coaching career, most in club history.
With over 14 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 126 leagues in the world as denoted by the CIES Football Observatory, Vermes’ tenure at Sporting KC ranks as the fifth longest active run.
In 2007 Savic switched to the outdoor game, joining Chivas USA as an assistant to then-head coach Preki before moving into the commentary booth for Kansas City matches in 2008 and 2009. Savic’s career as a commentator was cut short, however, when newly installed Manager Peter Vermes tabbed Savic to be part of his coaching staff late in the 2009 season.
a 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.

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.
