PORTLAND TIMBERS vs SPORTING KANSAS CITY PROVIDENCE PARK, Portland, Ore. October 3, 2015 (WEEK 31, MLS Game #313) 7:30 p.m. PT (KPDX; KMCI-38) A massive match right on the red line kicks off when the Portland Timbers play host to Sporting Kansas City on Saturday evening at Providence Park. The two clubs hold the final two places in the top six in the Western Conference – Sporting sitting in fifth place, one point ahead of the Timbers, who are just a single point further ahead of seventhplace San Jose. The Timbers come into the match having put an end to their four-game winless run with a 2-1 win at Columbus Crew SC last weekend, while Sporting reached a 1-1 draw with Seattle Sounders FC at home last weekend, ahead of their U.S. Open Cup victory at midweek against Philadelphia Union.

Sporting have come away with points on three of their four visits to Providence Park, including two victories.  The Timbers have come away with points on each of their last two visits to Sporting Park. The Timbers also won a fifth-round match in the U.S. Open Cup last year in Kansas City.  Coaches record: Peter Vermes vs. POR: P7 W3 L2 D2 … Caleb Porter vs. KC: P4 W1 L1 D2 LAST MEETING (MLS)  The best chance for a goal from either side came in the 29th minute when Portland’s Diego Valeri freed Fanendo Adi on goal, but Sporting goalkeeper Tim Melia sprang into action nicely to turn away the attempt with a kick save. That was just the first of a single-game career-high seven saves for Melia.  Timbers goalkeeper Adam Kwarasey was called upon to make two saves in keeping the clean sheet, relieved in the 64th minute when SKC's Graham Zusi pinged a side-footed shot with his left foot off the goalpost.  PORTLAND TIMBERS (4-2-3-1): Adam Kwarasey - Taylor Peay, Nat Borchers, Norberto Paparatto, Jorge Villafana - George Fochive (Rodney Wallace 83), Jack Jewsbury - Darlington Nagbe, Diego Valeri, Lucas Melano (Maximiliano Urruti 83) - Fanendo Adi (Dairon Asprilla 73).  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Tim Melia - Saad Abdul-Salaam (Jalil Anibaba 62), Kevin Ellis, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic - Soni Mustivar - Paulo Nagamura, Benny Feilhaber (Jordi Quintilla 90) - Jacob Peterson (Bernardo Anor 75), Dom Dwyer, Graham Zusi.

MLS GAME INFORMATION

PORTLAND TIMBERS The Portland Timbers put an end to their winless run after four games, defeating Columbus Crew SC 2-1 on Saturday evening at Mapfre Stadium. The Timbers are in sixth place in the Western Conference with 44 points from 30 matches. LAST MATCH  The Timbers took the lead in the 28th minute. With a piece of magic, Darlington Nagbe scooped a pass between Crew SC defenders, finding a streaking Fanendo Adi, who powered a shot past a helpless Steve Clark for the opener.  Crew SC pulled level just before the halftime break as Kei Kamara had a bit of brilliance of his own, with a perfectly placed header into the bottom corner at the near post from a Federico Higuain corner kick.  The eventual winner came just five minutes into the second half. A Portland break saw Rodney Wallace take off down the right back, and he slid a cross to Adi, who calmly placed a point-blank shot in the opposite corner from inside the area.  Timbers head coach Caleb Porter made three changes to the team that fell to the New York Red Bulls at Providence Park. Jack Jewsbury, Rodney Wallace and Fanendo Adi came into the team in place of Will Johnson, Lucas Melano and Maximiliano Urruti.  PORTLAND TIMBERS (4-2-3-1): Adam Kwarasey - Alvas Powell, Nat Borchers, Liam Ridgewell, Jorge Villafana - Diego Chara, Jack Jewsbury - Darlington Nagbe, Diego Valeri (George Fochive 87), Rodney Wallace (Dairon Asprilla 81) - Fanendo Adi (Lucas Melano 75). TEAM NEWS  The Timbers put an end to a four-game winless run with their first victory since Aug. 15 in the win vs. Crew SC. The Timbers have won consecutive times each of the last three times they have posted victories.  “We showed a lot of character and we wanted to come into the game and fight and that’s a part of winning. The minimum standard in this club will be to go into every game and fight and work and grind and stick together and I thought we did that,” Timbers head coach Caleb Porter said.  The Timbers also scored their first goals after a pair of shutouts, the opening goal in the first half ending a 240minute goalless drought.  “We wanted to have a combination of high pressure and low pressure. … I felt that we did a really good job defending them through the run of play, defending the flanks and cutting out crosses,” Porter said. “I think, coming into the game, we knew if we were aggressive and pressed correctly, that they would have a hard time dealing with it. We created a lot of turnovers with our pressure and were dangerous on the counter all game.”  Fanendo Adi again scored a pair of goals in the victory. In the 13 games when Adi has scored a goal (21 goals in all), he’s scored two goals in eight of those games, including four times this season.  Rodney Wallace returned to the starting lineup after coming off the substitutes’ bench each of the three previous matches, and recorded his fifth assist of the year, his first since June 28.  “We wanted to make it a direct game early on. We felt that we could use our size advantage on their back four. That’s why we went pretty direct into [Fanendo] Adi and into Rodney’s channels a lot. Then we were able to pick up second balls,” Porter said. “One thing I know about Rodney is he’s a fighter. … So, I thought his defending and his fight, his work rate, all the intangible things were a big key in the game. Plus he set up the second goal by outrunning their back. That's the type of play it takes to win games.”  Darlington Nagbe collected an assist, his fourth assist of the season, his first since June 28. The four assists are tied for his second-highest single-season total in MLS (after a seven-assist performance last year).  Diego Valeri also collected an assist, his seventh assist of the season. Valeri has recorded assists on four of the Timbers’ last six goals, dating back to Aug. 15.  “There were a few rotations we worked on this week in terms of where we felt we could find space. With [Diego] Valeri, we wanted him to overload more on the channels and Darlington [Nagbe] as well. I thought Darlington was very good,” said Porter.

MLS GAME INFORMATION

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City made it two games in a row without victory, coming back for a 1-1 draw with Seattle Sounders FC on Sunday afternoon at Sporting Park. Sporting are in fifth place in the Western Conference with 45 points from 30 matches. LAST MATCH  Sounders FC went up just after the half-hour mark. A giveaway near midfield ignited a counterattack for the visitors, and Obafemi Martins ran onto Gonzalo Pineda's long ball over the top, held off a defender and got off a low shot near the top of the area that 'keeper Jon Kempin managed to deflect but couldn't keep from looping just inside the right post.  The equalizer came in the 79th minute. Left back Amadou Dia sent in a cross from the left wing that rolled untouched across the face of goal, and Dom Dwyer -- just five minutes after coming on as a substitute -- was waiting at the far post to knock it in.  SKC manager Peter Vermes made nine changes to the team that dropped a 1-0 decision to the Houston Dynamo at BBVA Compass Stadium. Only defender Kevin Ellis and midfielder Paulo Nagamura maintained their places.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Jon Kempin - Jalil Anibaba (Saad Abdul-Salaam 66), Kevin Ellis, Erik Palmer-Brown, Amadou Dia - Paulo Nagamura (Soni Mustivar 46) - Jordi Quintilla, Mikey Lopez - Connor Hallisey, Jacob Peterson, Bernardo Anor (Dom Dwyer 74). TEAM NEWS  Sporting had their current winless run extended to a pair of games, now having won just once in their last eight league games, dating back to Aug. 19.  “The bottom line is that the guys who played – what I'm pleased about is a lot of times when players are given an opportunity, they don't take advantage of it. And I thought the guys did that. I'm happy for each individual player and I'm happy for the team because we needed a point at a minimum. More importantly, what happens in situations like this is you talk all year long about guys on the roster. And we've played every guy on the roster,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes. “[There] was a big difference in the lineup, and those guys got a real feeling that they have a major impact on what the season looks like. For them to take that opportunity and play the way they did – and have the energy at the end to almost win it – was great.  Dom Dwyer came off the substitutes’ bench to score his 11th goal of the season, his second in the last three matches.  “I think he always has an incredible work rate. I think the difference is that he comes into a part of the game where the other team has expended a lot of … and does what a goal scorer wants to do – he tries to score. So he was very dangerous and very mobile. I thought his mobility didn't allow them to get as many shots on him as central defenders usually are allowed to get away with. He's done this in the past for us – he came in [off the bench] and scored a tremendous goal against Colorado. When he comes in he brings a level of energy that is very, very helpful to the team,” Vermes said.  Amadou Dia made his first appearance in a league game since Aug. 22, and recorded the first assist of his professional career.  As Vermes rang in the changes ahead of the U.S. Open Cup Final at midweek, center back Erik Palmer-Brown made his first league appearance since July 24, just his fourth appearance in an MLS game this season.  Mikey Lopez made his first start since Aug. 29, his third start over the last seven games, while Jalil Anibaba made his first start since June 21, when he made the last of 13 consecutive starts in the back four. Connor Hallisey also made his return to the starting lineup, his first since Aug. 15.  Jordi Quintilla made his first Sporting MLS start, coming into the midfield and playing the full 90 minutes. Quintilla had made four substitute appearances over the previous five games.  “I thought Jordi [Quintilla] and Mikey Lopez did a really good job. I thought they had good energy. I thought Jordi was really good on the ball and opened the game up quite a bit. Connor [Hallisey] again did a very good job. Erik Palmer-Brown and Kevin Ellis had a good relationship and didn't give up too much in the back and were pretty smart on the ball for two really young guys. EPB is 18 years old. All the guys just did a good job,” said Vermes.  On Wednesday, Sporting won the U.S. Open Cup for a third time in a penalty shootout victory against Philadelphia Union following a 1-1 draw over 120 minutes. Sebastien Le Toux gave Union a 23rd-minute lead, but Krisztian Nemeth’s brilliant strike in the 65th minute leveled terms. In the penalty shootout, each club converted six of the first seven attempts. Then, Union’s Ray Gaddis saw his attempt saved by SKC goalkeeper Tim Melia, before Sporting’s Jordi Quintilla put his attempt past Union substitute goalkeeper John McCarthy to give SKC the Dewar Trophy previously won also in 2004 and 2012, tied for third-most all-time.  Here’s the SKC team: Tim Melia; Chance Myers (Jacob Peterson 112), Matt Besler, Kevin Ellis, Seth Sinovic (Saad Abdul-Salaam 78); Soni Mustivar (Jordi Quintilla 66), Benny Feilhaber, Paulo Nagamura; Graham Zusi, Krisztian Nemeth, Dom Dwyer

LAST MATCH RECAP Behind a brace from forward Fanendo Adi and assists from Darlington Nagbe, Rodney Wallace and Diego Valeri, the Timbers earned a 2-1 win on the road against Columbus Crew SC in front of a sellout crowd of 22,719 fans at MAPFRE Stadium on Saturday evening in Columbus, Ohio. The victory marked Portland’s first-ever road win against Crew SC. Portland’s attack caused Columbus problems from the start, while Adi tallied his fourth multi-goal game this season with a goal in each half. The Timbers opened the scoring in the 28th minute before Crew SC leveled the match in the 43rd minute. Portland’s defense limited Columbus in the final 45 minutes, surrendering just one shot on target and Adi tallied the eventual game-winning goal in the 50th minute, receiving assists from Wallace and Valeri in the goal-scoring sequence.

Guiding the team to an impressive turnaround season and the club’s first-ever MLS postseason appearance in 2013, Porter helped direct a record-setting offense in 2014 as the Timbers netted 61 regular-season goals, a club record across all eras. He was announced as the Timbers head coach on Aug. 29, 2012, and joined the club ahead of the 2013 MLS campaign.

He compiled a career mark of 123-18-17 and was named 2009 NSCAA National Coach of the Year. Porter led the Zips to back-to-back NCAA College Cup appearances (2009, 2010) and the school’s first national title in any sport in 2010.

Sporting KC Game Notes | Oct. 3, 2015 at Portland Timbers | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #PORvSKC: HEAD-TO-HEAD

SPORTING KC BY THE NUMBERS

A pivotal Western Conference clash beckons on Saturday as fifth-place Sporting KC (12-9-9, 45 pts.) visits sixth-place Portland Timbers (12-10-8, 44 pts.) at Providence Park. The clubs currently occupy the final two playoff spots in the West, but the San Jose Earthquakes lurk close behind in seventh with 43 points. Sporting KC has a 3-2-2 regular season record against the Portland Timbers, including just one loss in four all-time trips to Providence Park. The sides most recently met a little more than three weeks ago on Sept. 9, battling to a 0-0 draw at Providence Park for the second straight scoreless stalemate between the sides this season (the first of which coming at Sporting Park on March 21). The visiting team is winless in five straight meetings between the clubs in all competitions since 2011. The last time the hoss claimed a win in this series was April 2012, when Portland beat Sporting KC 1-0 at Providence Park.

Sporting KC Game Notes | Oct. 3, 2015 at Portland Timbers | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES SPORTING KC CROWNED U.S. OPEN CUP CHAMPIONS

ON THE ROAD AGAIN

Sporting KC claimed the club’s third U.S. Open Cup championship since 2004 and the team’s third major title in the past four seasons on Wednesday, prevailing 7-6 in an eight-round penalty kick shootout after a 1-1 draw with the Philadelphia Union at PPL Park in Chester, Pennsylvania. With the triumph, Sporting KC brings home the Dewar Challenge Trophy and secures a berth in the 2016/17 Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League to compete against the best teams in North America, Central America and the Caribbean region.

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.

Sporting KC forward Krisztian Nemeth scored his fifth goal of the tournament, tying teammate Dom Dwyer for most in this year’s competition, with a 65th minute goal that leveled the match at 1-1 after Sebastien Le Toux had struck for the opening goal in the 23rd minute. Tim Melia matched his career-high with seven saves through 90 minutes of regulation and two 15-minute extra time periods, then made two saves in the penalty kick shootout to turn away attempts from Union captain Maurice Edu and former No. 1 draft pick Andrew Wenger.

Peter Vermes’ men returned home Sept. 18 and earned a 3-1 victory over FC Dallas, while a visit to Houston on Sept. 23 resulted in a 1-0 defeat. Sporting KC returned home for a 1-1 draw against Seattle on Sunday, then continued their travels to Philadelphia for Wednesday’s Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final. Sporting KC may have won the championship, but a tricky cross-country road trip becons as the team now travels to Portland for a pivotal match with the Timbers. 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).

Approximately 1,000 Sporting KC supporters were among the more than 14,000 fans in attendance at PPL Park. Philadelphia, playing in the U.S. Open Cup Final at home for the second straight year, took the 1-0 lead thanks to the tournament’s leading scorer in the modern era. Sebastian Le Toux raced onto a pass from Victor Nogueira and placed a first-time finish into the back of the net for the 16th U.S. Open Cup goal in his career.

RISING TO THE OCCASION

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

Nemeth, whose header carried just over the crossbar moments before halftime, found the coveted equalizer 20 minutes into the second half amidst rainy conditions. With a total of three combined touches, Chance Myers played a ball into the path of Graham Zusi who flicked it further across the penalty area for Nemeth to bend a right-footed curler inside the post.

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 (16), Krisztian Nemeth (14) and Benny Feilhaber (12) have combined for 42 of the team’s 59 totals goals in the MLS regular season and U.S. Open Cup.

The Hungarian international scored in each of his four appearances in the 2015 U.S. Open Cup and his five total goals move him into a share of the club lead among all-time scorers in the tournament. Zusi’s assist was the third of his career in the U.S. Open Cup, placing him second on the club’s all-time assists chart for the competition.

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 14 goals and seven assists in all competitions, making his 21 combined goals and assists the most ever by a first-year Kansas City player (excluding the inaugural MLS season in 1996).

Sporting KC are no strangers to the penalty shootout, claiming the 2012 U.S. Open Cup and 2013 MLS Cup with kicks from the mark, and the experience showed on Wednesday with seven of the team’s eight shooters successful. Both goalkeepers came up with back-to-back saves on their third try as Melia thwarted Edu and Blake tipped Nemeth’s attempt into the post.

Player Dom Dwyer Krisztian Nemeth Benny Feilhaber TRIO TOTALS TEAM TOTALS

The next eight players would convert one after another until the eighth round when Melia lifted his left leg to meet Wenger’s shot and set the stage for the decisive penalty. Up stepped 21-year-old newcomer Jordi Quintilla -- the youngest player to feature in the shootout -- to secure the title with a left-footed shot as Blake dove the opposite direction.

KRISZTIAN NEMETH JOINS HUNGARY FOR EURO QUALIFYING

OPEN CUP FAST FACTS: SPORTING KC CLAIMS CROWN •

MLS 11 9 10 30 45

Sporting KC forward Krisztian Nemeth was named to the Hungary Men’s National Team roster on Thursday for their final pair of UEFA Euro 2016 qualifiers. Hungary will host the Faroe Islands on Oct. 8 before concluding their qualifying campaign on the road at Greece on Oct. 11.

Sporting KC becomes the fourth MLS team to win the tournament three times (Chicago 4, Seattle 4, D.C. United 3). Sporting KC has now won three Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup championships in team history, each of which in extra time (2004) or a penalty kick shootout (2012, 2015). Sporting KC started five players on Wednesday that started in the 2012 final: Graham Zusi, Matt Besler, Chance Myers, Paulo Nagamura and Seth Sinovic. Dom Dwyer and Krisztian Nemeth both scored five goals in Sporting KC’s run to the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup title, finishing in a tie for the tournament’s Golden Boot. Nemeth’s fifth U.S. Open Cup goal moved him into a tie for first place atop Sporting KC’s all-time U.S. Open Cup scoring chart, alongside Dom Dwyer, C.J. Sapong, Davy Arnaud and Igor Simutenkov. Krisztian Nemeth has scored in four straight U.S. Open Cup games, becoming the fourth player since 1995 to tally in four straight USOC matches in the same edition of the tournament. Graham Zusi recorded his third career U.S. Open Cup assist on Wednesday, moving into a tie for second in team history behind Benny Feilhaber (five). The visiting team has won the last three U.S. Open Cup finals and five of the last nine, including back-to-back losses for Philadelphia in 2014 against Seattle and again in 2015 versus Sporting KC. Sporting KC has 11 U.S. Open Cup wins since 2012, more than any other team (11-2-1). Philadelphia is tied for second with nine (9-3-3). Sporting KC overcame 1-0 deficits in the quarterfinals, semifinals and final of the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Sporting KC becomes the fifth team to lift three major trophies in a four-year span since 2005 (LA, Seattle, D.C., Columbus.

Hungary (3-1-3, 12 points) currently sits in third place in Group F with the top two teams receiving berths into next summer’s European championship. In addition, the best overall third place team will also automatically advance, while all other third place finishers enter a two-legged playoff round in November to determine the competition’s final four teams. Nemeth has 19 international appearances for Hungary, including roles in each of the team’s past three Euro 2016 qualifiers. The 26-year-old striker has 14 goals and seven assists across all competitions for Sporting KC in his debut season and scored in the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final on Wednesday.

PLAYOFF MATH

After another weekend of MLS action, the top seven teams in the Western Conference are separated by only seven points. Sporting KC sits only five points back of Western Conference leaders LA Galaxy following a 1-1 draw against the Seattle Sounders FC on Sunday. San Jose and Houston kept their playoff hopes alive last week, while Real Salt Lake’s hang by a thread following Sunday’s loss to the ‘Quakes. For Sporting KC, the magic number is eight with four regular season matches still to play. The maximum number of points a team currently outside the top six can reach is 52 (San Jose). If Sporting KC reach 53 points, eight more than their curren total, they’ll be guaranteed a top-six finish in the Western Conference standings.

BESLER, ZUSI ON PROVISIONAL U.S. ROSTER FOR CONCACAF CUP

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).

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 early October 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. 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.

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. 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.

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, 65 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.

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.

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.

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.

PETER THE GREAT

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 (190), Dominic Kinnear (151) and Jason Kreis (100).

Chicago Fire 3

In addition, 2015 has seen Vermes become Kansas City’s winningest coach ever. When Sporting KC beat Real Salt Lake 3-1 in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup semifinals on Aug. 12, Vermes earned his 109th coaching win for the club in all competitions to pass his former coach Bob Gansler atop the club’s all-time chart. Three days later, Sporting KC pulled off a 4-3 comeback win to give Vermes his 87th regular season triumph, also passing Gansler for sole possession of first place in team history. On Sept. 30, Vermes won his third major trophy as coach of Sporting KC when the club defeated the Philadelphia Union 7-6 in penalty kicks after a 1-1 draw through regulation.

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.

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 44 career goals in all competitions are fourth most in team history. Dwyer, who was an MLS All-Star in 2014 for the first time in his career, has scored 66 goals in all competitions since the start of 2013—44 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 16 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.

Nagamura scored the game-tying and game-winning goals in the 87th and 94th minutes of a 4-3 win over Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Aug. 15 as Sporting KC came from two goals behind after the 80th minute to complete one of the greatest regular season comebacks in MLS history. A veteran presence in the midfield, he converted penalty kicks in shootouts following the 2012 U.S. Open Cup Final, the 2013 MLS Cup Final and the 2015 U.S. Open Cup Final. 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.

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).

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 16 assists in 224 regular season appearances over the course of his professional career. Now in his fourth season with Sporting KC, he has contributed nine goals and nine assists in 110 games across all competitions for the club. Peterson is one of only two players in MLS history, alongside former Kansas City defender Nick Garcia, to be a member of teams that won each of the following: NCAA Division I National Championship (2003, 2004), Canadian Championship (2010, 2011), U.S. Open Cup (2012) and MLS Cup (2013). 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. His 224 regular season appearances are second most on the team, behind only Paulo Nagamura (240).

Sporting KC signed 21-year-old midfielder Jordi Quintilla on Aug. 6, 2015. Currently the youngest Spaniard in Major League Soccer, he made his club debut as a second-half substitute at the Colorado Rapids on Aug. 29 and started his first match for the club on Sept. 27 against Seattle Sounders FC. He converted the match-winning penalty kick in a shootout that decided Sporting KC’s 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup triumph over the Philadelphia Union. Quintilla developed as a youth at UE Lleida before moving to FC Barcelona’s famed La Masia academy, where he trained alongside former Sporting KC midfielder Oriol Rosell. In 2012, he began his professional career as an 18-year-old with Barcelona B in Spain’s second division and later went on loan to CF Badalona and CE L’Hospitalet.

Sporting KC Coach Bios | Oct. 3, 2015 at Portland Timbers | 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 three major trophies – the 2012 and 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups 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
