The Timbers make their return to the MLS Cup Playoffs under scintillating form, having won three games in a row, and having scored nine goals over their last two matches. The Timbers had scored 10 goals total over their previous 13 matches, dating back to the start of July. "We get three wins in a row and now we are the three seed. We’re not just getting in, we are not just satisfied with getting in, and that was never the case. We are in the playoffs in a position of strength which means we get a home game. Nothing is guaranteed but it gives us a good chance to make a run here," said Timbers head coach Caleb Porter. "I think with the way the guys are playing right now, I wouldn’t bet against them because we are getting the balance right. We’ve defended well all year, but now we are scoring goals. When you get those things right and you get momentum heading into the playoffs, you like your chances.” ... The win was also the first at Providence Park since August for the Timbers, snapping a four-game winless run. ... Darlington Nagbe concluded the season with second career two-goal game (the first coming March 31, 2012 vs.

Real Salt Lake). Nagbe also added an assist; over the final two games, he had three goals and the assist. "To be effective as an attacker you’ve got to create and produce goals and he’s showing that now in addition to keeping the ball and helping us with possession and causing problems for the opponent," said Porter.

"He’s causing problems by scoring. He’s stepped up. He’s not waiting for things to happen he’s making them happen and that’s what makes him scary when he plays like that.” ... Jorge Villafana scored his first league goal of the season in the finale -- marking now six consecutive seasons where he's scored one goal over the league campaign. ... Fanendo Adi scored his 16th goal, now with a goal in three consecutive games, with four goals over that time. Adi has six goals over the last five games (with a pair of two-goal outings in that span). ... Rodney Wallace recorded an assist for a second consecutive game, his third assist in the last five matches, all since he returned to the starting lineup in an attacking wide role.

Sporting put an end to a two-game losing run in securing their place in the Audi 2015 MLS Cup Playoffs, reaching the postseason for a fifth consecutive season. Over the course of this season we've been extremely competitive. I also think that there is a mental toughness in our group that is at times incredible, and at times maybe we've been a little inconsistent with it. ... What I do think is that whenever it's time that we have to get something done, we have been pretty good at the plate," said Sporting manager Peter Vermes. ... The main talking point immediately prior to the match was the dropping of Benny Feilhaber to the substitutes' bench. Feilhaber came on at halftime -- and his assist set up the match-winning goal that sent Sporting through. "I don't think he had enough in his gas tank to go 90 minutes. Better to use him in the second half and come on and do what he did. ... It was a decision based off of physical data from the last game, it was based on watching video from the last game, it was based on a lot of different variables. But at the end of the day, for us I know it was the right decision," said Vermes. ... Feilhaber ended the season with 15 assists, second-most in the league, behind Toronto FC's Sebastian Giovinco. Feilhaber recorded 20 assists in all competitions for Sporting this season, a club record. ... Kevin Ellis scored his fourth goal of the season, his first since Aug. 15, netting the opener -- the first goal scored by Sporting in three matches, snapping a 225-minute goalless drought. ... Dom Dwyer netted his 12th goal of the season, his first since Sept. 27. He has 34 goals in 64 games over the last two seasons in league play. "We have some incredible attacking players as well, and Dom's finish -- the way he made his run, his calmness in the box -- it was a little like Houston a couple years ago when we won the [Eastern Conference Championship in 2013]. Calmness and experience -- everything came into play." Said Dwyer: "I knew Benny was looking for me. He's our playmaker; he's a guy who can find that pass. So I knew I just had to make a good run and try to stay onside. I knew he'd find me a pass and I'd finish it off."

September 9, 2015 -- Providence Park • 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 careerhigh 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.

LAST MATCH RECAP The Timbers secured the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference and a spot in the Audi 2015 MLS Cup Playoffs as midfielder Darlington Nagbe tallied two goals and one assist to help lead Portland to a 4-1 win against the Colorado Rapids in front of a sellout crowd of 21,144 fans on Sunday evening at Providence Park. Portland finished the regular-season schedule with three consecutive wins to set a new MLS-club record mark for wins (15) in a single season.

Providence Park opened on April 14, 2011, in front of a sold-out crowd in the Timbers first-ever home match as an MLS team. The club proceeded to sell out all of its regular-season home games in the team’s first four MLS seasons.

Spanning the 2013 and 2014 seasons, the Timbers compiled an MLS-club record 22-game unbeaten streak (12-0-10) at Providence Park from April 6, 2013 to June 1, 2014. The streak ranks as the third-longest all-time in MLS history.

HEAD COACH CALEB PORTER Head coach Caleb Porter is in his third season with the club in 2015 after guiding the Portland Timbers to record-setting campaigns in his first two years in MLS. 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. Porter received the Slats Gill Award for Sportsperson of the Year at the Oregon Sports Awards on March 9, 2014, becoming the fourth soccerrelated figure to receive the award since it was founded in 1957. On Aug. 6, 2014, Porter helped guide the MLS All-Stars to a 2-1 win over German power Bayern Munich in the 2014 AT&T MLS All-Star Game at Providence Park in Portland.

The 2013 MLS Coach of the Year award winner, Porter has compiled one of the league’s top winning percentages among active MLS head coaches with a 41-25-36 mark (.578) after leading Portland to double-digits wins in each of his first two seasons. The 25 losses in his first 100 career games as an MLS head coach ranks tied for the fewest losses with San Jose’s Dominic Kinnear among all MLS coaches who have reached 100 or more games in the league. Under Porter’s guidance, the Timbers have made Providence Park one of the toughest places to play in the league, registering an impressive regular-season mark of 24-7-20 at Providence Park over the last two-plus seasons. In 2014, the Timbers netted a team-record 61 goals while compiling one of the highest point totals (44) across the final two-thirds of the regular season – recording the highest goal differential (plus-9) of any nonplayoff team in MLS history. Portland also made its first appearance in CONCACAF Champions League, contesting matches against Alpha United of Guyana and C.D. Olimpia of Honduras during the competition’s group stage.

During Porter’s first season as head coach in 2013, the Timbers assembled one of the biggest turnaround seasons in MLS. In comparison to 2012 totals, the Timbers assembled a 23-point improvement in points and an MLS-record 43-goal improvement in goal differential. Portland’s five losses during the 2013 regular season tied for the fewest in MLS history in a 34-game season and the Timbers led the league with 15 shutouts. The Timbers recorded a 15-game, home unbeaten streak during the 2013 regular season, posting a league-best 11-1-5 home record at Providence Park and an MLS singleseason record 11 home shutouts. In 2013, Portland qualified for the MLS Cup Playoffs for the first time since joining the league in 2011. Additionally, the Timbers made their deepest run in club history in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in 2013 under Porter’s guidance, reaching the semifinals of the tournament.

Prior to joining the Timbers, Porter was one of the most successful coaches in NCAA history during his tenure as head coach at the University of Akron (2006-12). 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.

Porter’s coaching career also includes time as the head coach of the U.S. U-23 Men’s National Team during 2012 CONCACAF Olympic qualifying and three years as an assistant coach on the U.S. U-18 National Team (2009-11). Porter was an assistant coach for six years (2000-05) at Indiana University.

As a player, Porter was the 27th overall pick by the San Jose Clash in the 1998 MLS College Draft. He spent time with San Jose and the Tampa Bay Mutiny before a knee injury ended his professional playing career in 2000. He also played for the U.S. National B Team from 1996-97, winning a bronze medal at the 1997 World University Games. As a player at Indiana, he was a three-year captain and led the Hoosiers to four conference titles. Porter was the runner-up for the 1997 Hermann Trophy.

Porter graduated from Indiana in 1998 with a degree in sports management. He and his wife, Andrea, have three children – two sons, Colin and Jake, and a daughter, Stella..

MATCH PREVIEW

Despite controlling a majority of the possession and registering a 17-8 advantage in shots, the Timbers conceded a goal late in the second half in a 1-0 loss against Western Conference side Sporting Kansas City in front of a sellout crowd of 21,144 fans at Providence Park on Oct. 3. Sporting KC grabbed the lead in the 83rd minute as forward Krisztian Nemeth dribbled into the box, placing a low, hard shot into the bottom-left corner of the goal.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY AT PORTLAND TIMBERS THURSDAY, OCT. 29, 2015 SCOUTING SPORTING KC Sporting Kansas City enters the postseason following a 2-1 win against the LA Galaxy on Sunday at Sporting Park in Kansas City, Kan. Forward Dom Dwyer’s strike in the 65th minute lifted Sporting Kansas City to the win over the defending MLS Cup-champion Galaxy and into the playoffs for the fifth consecutive year. Head coach Peter Vermes’ side won the league’s title in 2013, defeating Real Salt Lake on penalty kicks in a dramatic final, but struggled down the stretch this season with just three wins in their final 12 regular-season games.

Dwyer leads the club with 12 goals, while midfielder Benny Feilhaber has tallied 10 goals and 15 assists. Forward Krisztian Nemeth has chipped in 10 goals in his first season with the club.

LATE-SEASON FORM Since the 2013 season, the Timbers have posted a regular-season record of 13-3-7 overall during the months of September and October, including a mark of 7-2-4 at Providence Park.

SOLID DEFENDING The Timbers defense finished the season tied for first in MLS with 13 clean sheets in 34 games. Over the last three seasons, Portland has registered the most shutouts (35) among all MLS teams.

MLS CUP PLAYOFFS HISTORY Portland has reached the MLS Cup Playoffs for the second time in three seasons under head coach Caleb Porter. In Porter’s first season in 2013, the Timbers finished as the top seed in the Western Conference and defeated Seattle Sounders FC 5-3 on aggregate in the two-leg, conference semifinals round after bypassing the knockout round. In the conference finals, Portland fell to Real Salt Lake 5-2 on aggregate. In 2014, the Timbers missed out on the postseason by just one point.

PLAYOFF EXPERIENCE The Timbers roster features 76 combined games of MLS Cup Playoffs experience with defender Nat Borchers (23 appearances) leading the way. Midfielder Will Johnson (18) is second, while midfielder Jack Jewsbury (13) ranks third in career postseason appearances. Borchers and Johnson helped Real Salt Lake win the 2009 MLS Cup in penalty kicks against the LA Galaxy, while Borchers also helped guide Real Salt Lake to the 2013 MLS Cup as RSL lost on penalty kicks to Sporting Kansas City. Jewsbury started and played 66 minutes for the Kansas City Wizards (now Sporting KC) in the 2004 MLS Cup as Kansas City lost 3-2 against D.C. United.

2015 SEASON BY THE NUMBERS Portland concluded the 2015 season with several impressive marks in a variety of categories. The Timbers racked up an MLS-club record mark with 15 wins, while tying for the league lead in shutouts (13). Portland finished with the league lead in both chances created (477) and total shots (486), while also conceding the third-fewest goals (39) among all teams.

TIMBERS INJURY REPORT QUESTIONABLE: M Ben Zemanski (right ACL surgery) OUT: None * - As of Oct. 27, 2015

PLAYER OF THE WEEK Timbers midfielder Darlington Nagbe was named Major League Soccer Player of the Week by the North American Soccer Reporters (NASR) for Week 34 of the 2015 MLS season, it was announced on Tuesday. Nagbe, 25, registered a firsthalf brace and added an assist to help guide the Timbers to a 4-1 win against the Colorado Rapids on Sunday at Providence Park. This marks Nagbe’s first MLS Player of the Week award as he also becomes the sixth different Timbers player to earn the honor since 2011. Additionally, it is the second straight week a Timbers player has earned the award after forward Fanendo Adi was named NASR MLS Player of the Week for Week 33 of the regular season.

WINNING AT HOME The Timbers finished among league leaders with a 8-3-6 overall record at Providence Park during the 2015 season, including a Timbers MLS-club-record-tying streak of five straight wins from May 27-July 5. Portland has compiled one of the league’s best home records with an overall mark of 24-7-20 (.667) over the last three seasons since 2013. The Timbers’ seven home losses since 2013 is the second fewest of any team in the league over that span of time.

CONSISTENCY Over the last three seasons, the Timbers have compiled regular-season point totals of 57 (2013), 49 (2014) and 53 (2015), reaching the postseason in two of the last three years. Over that span of time, Portland’s combined point total (159) ranks as the fourth most in MLS, behind only the New York Red Bulls (169), Seattle Sounders FC (167) and LA Galaxy (165).

STREAKING Timbers forward Fanendo Adi has registered six goals in the last five regularseason matches, including scoring a goal in three straight games heading into the postseason. Midfielder Darlington Nagbe has scored in back-to-back games, including a brace in the regular-season finale against Colorado on Sunday.

Additionally, midfielder Rodney Wallace has registered an assist in consecutive games.

SCORING FIRST Portland finished as the best team in the league when scoring the all-important opening goal this season. The Timbers registered an undefeated 14-0-2 overall record when scoring first and were one of just two teams (Houston, 10-0-4) to have never lost after scoring the opening goal.

PORTER AT 100 Timbers head coach Caleb Porter registered his 100th career MLS game on Oct. 14 in a 1-0 win against Real Salt Lake. Porter, the 2013 MLS Coach of the Year, has registered a career coaching record of 41-25-36 (.578) through 102 career games, while his 25 losses is tied with San Jose’s Dominic Kinnear for the fewest among MLS coaches through their first 100 games.

AGAINST THE WESTERN CONFERENCE The Timbers have put together a 7-1-8 regular-season home record against teams from the Western Conference, dating back to Sept. 7, 2014. The Timbers have lost just four home games (12-4-8) in their last 23 at Providence Park dating back to the 2014 season. Portland has earned five regular-season home shutouts against Western Conference sides in 2015.

SportingKC.com/Game-Notes | Oct. 29, 2015 at Portland Timbers | Western Conference Knockout Round #PORvSKC: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#PORvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS

Fresh off Sunday’s 2-1 win over the LA Galaxy, sixth-seeded Sporting KC will make their fifth straight postseason appearance on Thursday against the third-seeded Portland Timbers in the Western Conference Knockout Round. The match at Providence Park pits two teams who have battled three times in the 2015 regular season, two of which ended in scoreless draws and a third was decided in the final minutes.

Sporting KC has a 4-2-2 regular season record against the Portland Timbers, including just one loss in five all-time trips to Providence Park (3-1-1). The sides most recently met a little more than three weeks ago on Oct. 3, a match that looked destined to finish in a third straight goalless tie between the clubs this year. However, second-half substitute Krisztian Nemeth stunned a sold-out Providence Park into silence with a remarkable 60-yard run and finish in the 83rd minute to clinch Sporting’s 1-0 victory.

The visiting team is winless in six straight meetings between the clubs in all competitions since 2012. The last time the host claimed a win in this series was April 2012, when Portland beat Sporting KC 1-0 at Providence Park. Perhaps more remarkably, the Timbers haven’t scored in 392 regular season minutes against Sporting KC dating back to April 2013. The goalless streak is slightly shorter on Portland’s home ground, as Caleb Porter’s men haven’t breached the Sporting KC back line in 319 regular season minutes at Providence Park dating back to 2012.

Sporting KC is unbeaten in four trips to the Pacific Northwest this season, earning two wins and two draws with shutouts in every match (0-0 draw at Seattle, 1-0 win at Vancouver, 0-0 draw and 1-0 win at Portland).

• Krisztian Nemeth’s 22 combined goals (15) and assists (7) in all competitions are the most by a Kansas City newcomer in club history, excluding the inaugural 1996 season. Nemeth also scored five gamewinning goals in MLS, one shy of tying the club’s single-season record.

SportingKC.com/Game-Notes | Oct. 29, 2015 at Portland Timbers | Western Conference Knockout Round SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES SKC CLINCHES PLAYOFF SPOT WITH 2-1 WIN OVER GALAXY

SPORTING KC ANNOUNCES 2015 CLUB AWARDS

Sporting KC clinched a postseason berth for the fifth straight season on Sunday with a 2-1 victory over the LA Galaxy on the final day of the MLS regular season. The club will open the playoffs at the Portland Timbers on Thursday in the Western Conference Knockout Round. If Sporting KC advances, the team would host FC Dallas on Sunday, Nov. 1 at Sporting Park in the opening leg of the two-game Western Conference Semifinals series.

Sporting KC presented the club’s annual awards on Oct. 10 at Sporting Park during Pitch Black. The club’s players, media members and fans voted on the following awards: • • • • •

Kevin Ellis opened the scoring with his fourth goal of the year, tied for the most by an MLS defender during the Opta era (2011-present). Dom Dwyer, for a second straight year, secured the team’s Golden Boot with his 12th goal of the regular season and 17th goal in all competitions.

Feilhaber, the team’s MVP, has scored a career-high 12 goals and set a single-season club record with 20 assists in 37 games across all competitions in 2015. For the third straight year, Feilhaber collected Sporting KC’s Goal of the Year for his game-tying goal in the 95th minute of a 4-4 draw at Houston on April 25.

LA entered the match in second place in the West, in position for a Knockout Round bye and home field advantage in the Conference Semifinals, yet slipped to fifth place following the loss. Zardes had nearly rescued a result in the game’s final minute if not for Melia getting block gloves behind the shot to push it away.

Dwyer repeats as the team’s Offensive Player of the Year with 17 goals, most among all Sporting KC players, and three assists in 35 games played across all competitions in 2015. Besler and Mustivar share Defensive Player of the Year honors for a Sporting KC side that has conceded the fewest shots in MLS this season. Besler led MLS with 217 clearances, while Mustivar is 15-5-5 as a starter (all competitions) and led the league with 6.1 interceptions per game.

Meanwhile, Sporting KC extended the club’s home unbeaten streak against the Galaxy to seven straight games dating back to 2008 and matched the team’s singleseason record with 14 home wins across all competitions. The team has now won 14 times at home in 2000, 2004, 2012 and 2015 — all of which are represented on the stadium’s championship wall as a result of winning major trophies in those seasons.

Nemeth has contributed 15 goals, including the game-tying goal in the U.S. Open Cup Final, to go along with seven assists in 32 games played across all competitions in 2015 to earn distinction as the team’s Newcomer of the Year. His 22 combined goals and assists are the most by a KC newcomer since the inaugural 1996 season.

Sporting KC will now begin pursuit of a third MLS Cup title on the road in the Rose City on Thursday. Sporting KC went unbeaten (1-0-2) against the Timbers in three matches this year, most recently earning a 1-0 win at Providence Park on Oct. 3.

Defender Kevin Ellis was given his Humanitarian of the Year award by the parents of three-year-old Kit Van Sickle, who is fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia and first met Ellis in May during a Victory Project photo shoot for the 2016 Braden’s Hope calendar. The pair have since formed a close bond, which embodies Ellis’ commitment to making a difference in the lives of others.

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 (17), Krisztian Nemeth (15) and Benny Feilhaber (12) have combined for 44 of the team’s 62 totals goals in the MLS regular season and U.S. Open Cup.

FEILHABER ON FIRE

Midfielder Benny Feilhaber has pieced together one of the best seasons in Sporting KC history, setting MLS career highs with 10 goals and 15 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 20 assists this season in all competitions, breaking the club record previously held by Preki (18 in 2003). He becomes just the second player in club history (Preki) to reach 10 goals and 15 assists in a single regular season.

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 10 separate occasions from various media outlets (see page 5). On Oct. 10, he was named Sporting KC’s MVP for the 2015 season.

Nemeth’s goal in a 1-0 win at Portland on Oct. 3 brought him to 10 MLS goals in 2015, tied with Feilhaber and one behind Dwyer for the team lead. As a result, Sporting KC has three double-digit scorers in the same MLS season for the first time ever. It’s a feat only nine other teams have reached in league history — and just the third such occurrence since 2003. Of the previous nine clubs to match the milestone, eight qualified for the playoffs and two went on to win MLS Cup — including last year’s LA Galaxy side led by Robbie Keane, Gyasi Zardes and Landon Donovan.

In January, Sporting KC selected Connor Hallisey (10th), Saad Abdul-Salaam (12th) and Amadou Dia (20th) in the first round of the 2015 MLS SuperDraft. Fast forward to a 1-0 win at the Portland Timbers on Oct. 3, and all three newcomers were in the starting lineup for Manager Peter Vermes. It marked the first time in the past eight seasons for three rookie draft picks to start a regular season match for Kansas City and the only such occasion in MLS this season.

Collectively, Sporting KC’s three rookies have now played a total of 56 regular season games. That’s a new club record for appearances by first-year draft picks (topping 55 in 2007) and more than the previous four rookie classes combined. It also leads MLS in 2015, as does their 28 combined starts and their 2,817 minutes played.

HOME SWEET HOME

Sporting KC has a 14-2-5 home record in all competitions this season. Peter Vermes’ men have outscored opponents 42-24 at Sporting Park and have reached the threegoal mark eight times. Their 42 home goals scored in all competitions are second most in club history, trailing only the inaugural 1996 season (46).

TOUGH TO CRACK

Sporting KC has fared well in the Rose City, going 3-1-1 in five regular season trips to Providence Park since 2011. Peter Vermes’ men are unbeaten in their last three visits, posting three shutouts and a pair of 1-0 victories. The Timbers have gone 319 regular season minutes without a goal against Sporting KC on home soil — a run of three straight scoreless performances — and most recently breached the Kansas City defense in April 2012.

Sporting KC wields positive and negative history heading into Thursday’s showdown. The visiting team in the #PORvSKC series is unbeaten in six straight contests across all competitions dating back to 2012, and no team has more MLS road wins since 2011 than Sporting KC (33 including postseason). However, the club has a 2-15-4 road playoff record, with the only two wins coming in 1996 (Dallas) and 2011 (Colorado).

Sporting KC’s 14 home wins in all competitions tie the club record previously set in 2000, 2004 and 2012. In each of those seasons, the club went on to win a major trophy. Kansas City claimed an MLS Cup and Supporters’ Shield double in 2000 and lifted the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup title in 2004 and 2012. The team has successfully continued that trend, having won the 2015 U.S. Open Cup with a penalty shootout triumph over the Philadelphia Union on Sept. 30.

Sporting Park has sold out 70 straight MLS matches (including playoffs) dating back to April 2012 and 82 of 91 overall since opening in June 2011. The 18,467-seat venue has averaged 105 percent capacity over the last five MLS seasons, drawing 19,400 fans per game.

SportingKC.com/Game-Notes | Oct. 29, 2015 at Portland Timbers | Western Conference Knockout Round SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES (CONTINUED) SPORTING KC CROWNED U.S. OPEN CUP CHAMPIONS

NEMETH AND HUNGARY SET FOR EURO 2016 PLAYOFF

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 Sept. 30, 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 secured the Dewar Challenge Trophy and clinched 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.

On Oct. 13, the final day of UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying with nine games played concurrently, Hungary and Norway were 20 minutes away from advancing directly to a long-awaited European championship.

Norway led 1-0 on Italy in Rome until Toronto FC playmaker Sebastian Giovinco came off the bench to set up two goals for the Azzurri in a 2-1 comeback win that knocked Norway out of a top two-finish in Group H. Hungary, who had received two goals from Sporting KC forward Krisztian Nemeth in their qualifying finale two days earlier, were poised to go through as the best overall third-place finisher until Turkey vaulted to the top of that table with an 89th-minute game-winner.

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.

Instead, Hungary and Norway will now meet in a two-game, aggregate goal playoff to be held Nov. 12 (Oslo, Norway) and Nov. 15 (Budapest, Hungary) with only one of the two teams booking a berth for the field of 24 in France next summer. Norway has held the upper hand in the recent series history, going unbeaten against Hungary since 1981.

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.

Hungary’s quest for their first UEFA European Championship since 1972 will likely see Nemeth return to his national team next month after the 26-year-old appeared in each of their final five qualifiers. He is one of three MLS players in contention for a role in the Euro 2016 playoffs along with the Irish duo of Robbie Keane (LA Galaxy) and Kevin Doyle (Colorado Rapids).

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 games will be played during the FIFA fixture window from Nov. 9-17, during which time CONCACAF’s World Cup qualifying campaign will resume with both the United States (Matt Besler, Graham Zusi) and Canada (Marcel de Jong) in action on Nov. 13 and Nov. 17. The Audi 2015 MLS Cup Playoffs accommodates the international break with the conference semifinals concluding on Nov. 8 and the conference championships kicking off on Nov. 22.

The Hungarian international scored in each of his four appearances in the 2015 U.S. Open Cup and his five total goals moved 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.

Nemeth has contributed 15 goals, including the game-tying goal in the U.S. Open Cup Final, to go along with seven assists in 32 games played across all competitions in 2015. His 22 combined goals and assists are the most by a KC newcomer since the team’s inaugural 1996 season.

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.

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.

Quarterfinals

D.C. United 1

Sporting KC became 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).

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 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 Sept. 30, 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 became the fifth team to lift three major trophies in a four-year span since 2005 (LA Galaxy, Seattle Sounders, D.C. United, Columbus Crew SC).

2015 SPORTING KC MEDIA RECOGNITIONS

Sporting KC is unbeaten in four trips to the Pacific Northwest this season, earning two wins and two draws with shutouts in every match. The streak began with a hard-fought 0-0 draw against the Seattle Sounders at Century Link Field on May 23, Sporting’s first point in Seattle since 2009. Peter Vermes men’ emerged victorious with a 1-0 outcome at BC Place in Vancouver on July 12 before earning a pair of results at Providence park — a goalless draw on Sept. 9 and a 1-0 win on Oct. 3.

SAADABDUL-SALAAM Team of the Week

NO STRANGER TO PLAYOFFS

Sporting KC is makings their fifth straight postseason appearance in 2015, tied for the longest streak in club history (2000-2004). Only three other MLS clubs have an active postseason appearance streak of five seasons or longer: LA Galaxy (7), Seattle Sounders FC (7) and New York Red Bulls (6).

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. Eight months later, Vermes has climbed to eighth all-time with 90 regular season victories — fifth among active coaches behind Sigi Schmid (222), Bruce Arena (190), Dominic Kinnear (152) and Jason Kreis (100).

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.

The second-longest tenured manager in team history behind Gansler (1999-2006), Vermes assumed head coaching duties in August 2009 and has since compiled a 113-79-60 record in all competitions. He led Sporting KC to the 2012 and 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup championships and in 2013 became the first person to win MLS Cup as both a player and coach with the same team.

Gansler coached Vermes as manager of the United States Men’s National at the 1990 FIFA World Cup and later in Kansas City when the club achieved the Supporters’ Shield and MLS Cup double in 2000.

AUDI 2015 MLS CUP PLAYOFS 101 QUALIFICATION The six teams from each conference who finish the regular season with the most points qualify for the playoffs to bring the total field to 12 participants, two more than qualified from 2011-14.

SEEDING AND KNOCKOUT ROUND The top two teams in each conference automatically qualify directly to the conference semifinals, a week-long break that serves as a reward for regularseason performance. Meanwhile, the other four teams in each conference face a quick turnaround for the Knockout Round, which pits the No. 3 and No. 6 seeds and the No. 4 and No. 5 seeds in winner-take-all matches hosted by the higher seed. Away goals do not count as a tiebreaker in the Knockout Round.

RESEEDING FOR THE CONFERENCE SEMIS When the field has been trimmed to eight teams, four per conference, the Knockout Round winners are re-seeded ahead of the Conference Semifinals based on regular-season performance. The lowest remaining seed in each conference will play the No. 1 seed, while the No. 2 seed takes on the other team in Conference Semifinal matches set for Nov. 1 and Nov. 8. For example, if the No. 6 seed sprung an upset against the No. 3 seed and the No. 5 seed did the same against the No. 4 seed, the conference semifinals would pit the No. 1 seed against the No. 6 seed and the No. 2 seed against the No. 5 seed.

CONFERENCE SEMIFINALS AND CHAMPIONSHIPS Once the single-elimination Knockout Round matches narrow the field, the format switches to two-match, aggregate-goal series for the Conference Semifinals and Conference Championships, with the lower seed hosting the first leg and the higher seed hosting the second leg. The team with the most total goals over two legs advances.

If the teams score an equal number of goals over the course of both matches, the team with the most road goals in the series advances to the Conference Championship. If at the end of the 180 minutes the teams are tied on both total goals and away goals, the teams will play two 15-minute extra time periods in which away goals DO NOT count, followed by, if necessary, penalty kicks to determine a winner.

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 27 appearances in all competitions this season (22 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 previously made 112 regular season appearances over four years with the Chicago Fire (2011-2013) and Seattle Sounders FC (2014), recording four goals and six assists. He made his Sporting KC debut on March 21 and scored his first goal for the club in second half stoppage time of a 3-2 win over Philadelphia on April 5. His first of four Sporting KC assists during the month of May was a game-winner to Paulo Nagamura on May 3, and he was named to the fan ballot for the 2015 AT&T MLS All-Star Game.

Capable of playing as a centerback or right back, Anibaba made 16 MLS appearances in 2014 and helped Seattle win the Supporters’ Shield title. He also featured in four matches during the club’s run to the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open championship. The 26-year-old spent his first three professional seasons in Chicago, where he played in 96 of the team’s 102 regular season contests from 2011-2013. The defender was named a finalist for Major League Soccer’s Fair Play Award in 2013, starting every regular season match of the campaign.

As a youth, Anibaba represented the United States at the under-18 and under-20 national team levels.

Bernardo Anor joined Sporting KC from Columbus Crew SC in December 2014 to become the club’s first offseason acquisition. The 27-year-old native of Venezuela appeared in 72 matches over four seasons with Columbus, scoring 12 goals and adding three game-winning assists since being drafted out of the University of South Florida in 2011. He made his Sporting KC debut with a start on March 8 before being sidelined from May through August with multiple injuries.

Anor played 13 MLS matches as a rookie and 11 games in 2012 before suffering a season-ending ACL injury. He returned in 2013 to make 19 MLS starts and earn the club’s Comeback Player of the Year award. He netted a career-high six goals in 2014, helping Columbus earn a postseason berth for the first time since 2011.

Anor was South Florida’s top scorer for three seasons during his collegiate career (2007-2010) in which he recorded 21 goals and seven assists. His younger brother, Juan Pablo, plays professionally for Malaga CF in Spain’s La Liga, and his father, Bernardo, represented Venezuela at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow.

Sporting KC captain Matt Besler is in his seventh season at his hometown club. He has earned MLS Best XI (2012, 2013), MLS All-Star (2011, 2013-2015), MLS Defender of the Year (2012) and MLS Breakout Player of the Year (2012) honors and was named the 2014 KC Sportsman of the Year by the Kansas City Sports Commission. He was named to the MLS All-Star Fan XI ahead of the 2015 AT&T MLS All-Star Game on July 29.

Besler signed a long-term Designated Player contract with the club in July 2014. His 218 appearances for Sporting KC in all competitions lead the current roster and rank seventh most all-time. A regular staple of the team’s backline, he has started 177 of his 182 MLS regular season appearances and landed Sporting KC Defender of the Year honors three times (2011-2013).

Besler has earned 27 caps for the United States Men’s National Team since debuting in January 2013. He was on the U.S. roster for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil alongside teammate Graham Zusi, becoming the first Kansan to play in the World Cup. He started all four matches in the tournament as the U.S. finished Group G runners-up behind eventual champion Germany and advanced to the Round of 16. He helped lead the U.S. to the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup title, starting all three matches in the knockout stage.

After logging more than 225 club appearances over his past 10 professional seasons in Netherlands and Germany, he made his MLS and Sporting KC debut on March 14 with a 90-minute performance at FC Dallas. He scored his first MLS goal in a 3-2 loss at Columbus on Aug. 22.

A dual citizen of Canada and Netherlands, de Jong began his youth career with PSV Eindhoven before signing professionally with Helmond Sport 2004. After two years in the Dutch second division, he joined Roda JC in the top flight Eredivisie in 2006. De Jong moved to Germany in 2010, signing for FC Augsburg. His first season there ended with promotion to the Bundesliga for the first time since the team was founded in 1907.

De Jong has made 39 appearances for the Canada Men’s National Team with two goals since his international debut at age 21 in 2007, recently starting in all three group stage matches at the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup in July and scoring in a friendly vs. Ghana on Oct. 13. He has represented the Reds at the past four Gold Cup tournaments, as well as 2010, 2014 and 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying.

Rookie defender Amadou Dia was selected by Sporting KC with the 20th overall pick in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft. On March 8, the 21-year-old became the first rookie to start in a Sporting KC season opener since 2011 and recorded seven interceptions, third most among MLS players in Week 1. He has started 13 of 22 MLS appearances this year and 17 of 26 in all competitions, recording his first assist for the club in the U.S Open Cup quarterfinals against Houston.

Dia appeared in 70 games during a four-year collegiate career at Clemson, contributing four goals and six assists. As a senior in 2014, he led the Tigers to the school’s first ACC soccer championship since 2001 en route to reaching the Round of 16 in the NCAA Division I Men’s Soccer Championship.

Dia has represented the United States at the under-14 (2007), under-18 (2009, 2010) and under-20 (2012) levels and also holds dual citizenship in his native France. As a youth, he was an NSCAA All-American and Colorado’s Gatorade Boys Soccer Player of the Year in 2010.

Fourth-year veteran Dom Dwyer has garnered Sporting KC Offensive Player of the Year and Golden Boot honors in each of the last two seasons. The Englishman set a single-season club record in 2014 with 22 goals, second most in MLS, and his 45 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 67 goals in all competitions since the start of 2013—45 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 17 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.

Sporting KC’s second Homegrown Player in club history, defender Kevin Ellis is coming off a 2014 campaign in which he made 21 MLS appearances, including his playoff debut. He finished 2014 with three assists in league play, tied for third most in the team, while splitting time between the right back and center back positions. The 24-year-old has continued his unlikely rise in 2015, registering career highs in MLS with 26 starts and four goals, the most among MLS defenders during the Opta era (2011-present).

Now in his fifth season with the club, Ellis developed in the Sporting KC Academy while attending Oak Park High School before playing collegiately at Barton County Community College in 2009-10. He scored his first competitive goal for the club last March, sparking a 1-0 win over Cruz Azul (Mexico) in the 2013-14 CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal first leg at Sporting Park.

Roger Espinoza returns to Sporting KC in 2015 after a two-year stint in the English Premier League and Championship. He began his pro career in Kansas City (2008-2012) before moving abroad to Wigan Athletic FC. He tallied a career-high four MLS assists in 2015 with one goal before suffering a sesamoid fracture in his left foot on Aug. 1.

In his last year with the Sporting KC, Espinoza was an MLS All-Star and helped lead the club to the 2012 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup title. He has made 150 appearances for the team in all competitions, recording three goals and 17 assists over six seasons. In the 2011 and 2012 seasons combined (including playoffs), he ranked in the top 10 among MLS players with 358 duels won (fifth) and 128 tackles won (seventh).

Espinoza has earned 46 caps for the Honduras Men’s National Team, scoring four goals since debuting in 2009. He is the only active MLS player to have competed in the 2010 and 2014 FIFA World Cups and the 2012 Summer Olympics. He leads the Sporting KC roster with five career World Cup starts.

Espinoza made 57 appearances and scored three goals in all competitions for Wigan Athletic, including eight in the 2013-14 UEFA Europa League. He also recorded a 90-minute shift in Wigan’s 1-0 win over Manchester City in the 2013 FA Cup Final.

Now in his fifth Major League Soccer season, Benny Feilhaber has reached MLS career-highs with 10 goals and 15 assists en route to earning Sporting KC’s MVP award in 2015. A regular fixture in Sporting KC’s midfield, he earned his first career MLS All-Star selection after being named to the Fan XI for the 2015 AT&T MLS All-Star Game on July 29. He was named Etihad Airways MLS Player of the Month for April and has recorded a single-season club record 20 assists in all competitions.

Feilhaber turned professional in 2005 with Hamburg (Germany) after two seasons at UCLA. He moved to Derby County of the English Premier League in 2007 and Danish club AGF Aarhus in 2008 before signing with the New England Revolution in 2011.

Acquired by Sporting KC prior to the 2013 season, he has made 111 appearances in all competitions for the club with 20 goals and 36 assists.

A member of the United States Men’s National Team, Feilhaber has earned 41 caps with two goals since debuting in 2007.

He earned back-to-back MLS Save of the Week honors in his first two MLS appearances and was MVP of the 2014 MLS Chipotle Homegrown Game.

After making his Sporting KC debut in the 2012 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, Kempin went on loan to then-USL PRO affiliate Orlando City SC (nine games played) in 2013. He then spent half of 2014 on loan at OKC Energy FC (13 games played), the club’s current USL PRO affiliate managed by former Sporting KC goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen. In April 2015, Kempin joined the NASL’s San Antonio Scorpions on loan and played two matches before returning to Sporting KC in May. He earned his season debut for the club on Sept. 13 against Orlando City SC and picked up his first win of the campaign five days later vs. FC Dallas.

Kempin was named to the United States Men’s National Team roster for the first time in his career to take part in manager Jurgen Klinsmann’s January Camp at the beginning of this year. He previously represented the U.S. at the under-14 through under-23 levels.

Rookie midfielder Connor Hallisey was selected by Sporting KC with the 10th overall pick in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft out of the University of California. He made his MLS debut with a late substitute appearance in a 4-4 draw at the Houston Dynamo on April 25. He has made 13 MLS appearances this season and earned his first professional start on May 29, a 4-0 win over FC Dallas in which he recorded his first MLS assist.

A former member of the United State Under-18 Men’s National Team, Hallisey played four seasons at Cal (2011-2014), recording 12 goals and 19 assists in 72 career matches. As a senior in 2014, Hallisey was an NCAA Division I Men’s Second Team All-American, starting 19 games with nine goals and 12 assists. He was named to the 2014 Capital One/CoSIDA All-District 8 Team, earned All-Pac-12 first team honors, landed a Pac-12 All-Academic second team nod, and was a MAC Hermann Trophy Semifinalist.

Sporting KC signed goalkeeper Tim Melia in December 2014. He enters his sixth MLS season in 2015 after previously representing Real Salt Lake (2010-2011) and Chivas USA (2012-2014), where he backed up MLS All-Stars Nick Rimando (RSL) and Dan Kennedy (Chivas USA).

Melia made his Sporting KC debut on May 3, shutting out Chicago in a 1-0 result for the first clean sheet and first win of his MLS career. On July 12, he became the first keeper in MLS history to record six shutouts in his first nine MLS matches for a new club. He owns a 15-8-5 record for Sporting KC in all competitions this season and made two saves in Sporting KC’s victorious penalty kick shootout win over Philadelphia in the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final.

Melia’s professional career began in 2008 with the Rochester Rhinos in the USL First Division. In 2010, he joined Real Salt Lake and spent part of the season on loan in the USL Second Division with the Charleston Battery. He helped lead Charleston to a first place finish in the regular season standings and eventually the league title with eight saves in the championship match.

Melia was a member of Chivas USA from 2012-2014, making 18 saves in six MLS appearances. He most recently served as a League Pool Goalkeeper, earning emergency call-ups from MLS Cup Playoff participants Sporting KC (August), FC Dallas (October) and D.C. United (November) in late 2014.

Sporting KC signed defensive midfielder Soni Mustivar ahead of the 2015 season. The 25-year-old made his MLS debut on March 21 against Portland before earning his first start on May 3 vs. Chicago. He has a 15-5-5 record as a starter in all competitions and made 20 interceptions in a 1-0 win over Vancouver on July 12, the most in an MLS match during the Opta era (2011-present). He scored his first goal for the club in the U.S. Open Cup on Aug. 12 and recorded the first two assists of his MLS career in a 4-3 win over Vancouver on Aug. 15.

Mustivar began his professional career as a teenager with SC Bastia in France’s Ligue 2 during the 2008-09 and 2009-10 seasons. He then moved to FC Petrolul Ploiesti and played each of the past three seasons in Romania’s Liga I. He recorded 61 league appearances with two goals in addition to playing eight matches in the UEFA Europa League. He started in Petrolul’s triumph in the 2012-13 Romanian Cup Final.

Eighth-year veteran Chance Myers enters 2015 as Sporting KC’s longest tenured player. The No. 1 overall selection in the 2008 MLS SuperDraft has played 162 matches for the club in all competitions, recording four goals and 18 assists from the wing back position. He made his 2015 debut on June 16 in the U.S. Open Cup fourth round, recording his first appearance since May 2014 after recovering from an Achilles injury.

He tallied the game-winning assist in his first MLS match of the season on June 27, landing MLSsoccer.com Team of the Week honors.

Myers eclipsed 30 MLS appearances in both 2011 and 2012 as a regular starter, and after making a career-high 31 MLS starts in 2013 (including playoffs), was the top-rated outside back on the MLS Castrol Index. He led MLS with 91 successful crosses from open play (including playoffs) between 2011 and 2013 before missing most of 2014 through injury.

Myers signed a new contract with the club last year after joining the U.S. Men’s National Team for the first time in his career as a member of Jurgen Klinsmann’s January Camp in 2014. He previously played for the U.S. U-18, U-20 and U-23 youth national teams.

Sporting KC’s most experienced MLS player with 258 league appearances (including playoffs), Paulo Nagamura is in his fourth season with the club. Since arriving ahead of the 2012 campaign, he has recorded seven goals and seven assists in 105 games across all competitions.

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.

Now in his first MLS season, Krisztian Nemeth signed for Sporting KC last December.

He made his league debut on March 8 at Sporting Park before scoring his first MLS goal in the 94th minute of a 3-2 win over Philadelphia on April 5. He has notched 15 goals and seven assists across all competitions in 2015, including the equalizer in Sporting KC’s penalty shootout win over the Union in the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final.

Nemeth’s professional career began at age 15 when he signed with MTK Budapest in 2005. He was signed by Rafael Benitez to join Liverpool FC in 2007 and featured extensively for the Liverpool Reserves, becoming the Barclays Premier Reserve League’s top scorer with nine goals during his first season. His career continued in Greece with AEK Athens (2009-10), Olympiacos (2010) and Olympiacos Volos (2011) before he moved to Dutch club RKC Waalwijk in 2012. He most recently played for Roda JC Kerkrade in the Dutch Eredivisie, recording eight goals during the 2013-14 season.

Internationally, Nemeth led Hungary to third place at the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup. He has three goals in 21 caps for Hungary’s senior team, including a brace in a Euro 2016 qualifier on Oct. 11. He has played six international matches in 2015, helping Hungary qualify for the UEFA European Championship for the first time since 1972.

Sporting KC acquired 24-year-old Amobi Okugo from Orlando City SC on July 20 of this year. He has played 135 MLS matches as a central defender and holding midfielder in six professional seasons since being selected sixth overall by the Philadelphia Union in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft. He made his Sporting KC debut in a 3-1 win at Toronto FC on Aug. 8, assisting a late goal to seal the result.

In 2011, Okugo was a member of Major League Soccer’s Generation adidas roster that was led by Sporting KC Manager Peter Vermes during a tour of the Netherlands.

Between 2012-2014, he led all MLS players with 70 blocks and was fourth in the league with 276 interceptions.

Okugo was included on MLSsoccer.com’s “24 under 24” rankings of the league’s top youth talent each of the past two seasons (8th in 2013, 13th in 2014) and joined Orlando City SC for their inaugural MLS campaign in 2015.

Okugo represented the United States extensively at the youth national team levels.

He went on to appear at the 2009 and 2011 CONCACAF U-20 Championships before playing for the U.S. U-23’s at the 2012 CONCACAF Men’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament.

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. This year, he became the youngest MLS player to appear in a team’s regular season opener since 2010 and recorded his first MLS minutes at Sporting Park. The 18-year-old earned his first start of 2015 on May 9 at D.C. Palmer-Brown made his league debut with a start in May 2014, becoming the youngest player in MLS history to start a match as a defender, for the first of six appearances in all competitions (including debuts in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and CONCACAF Champions League). He has played in each of the last two Chipotle MLS Homegrown Games and was No. 24 on MLSsoccer.com’s “24 Under 24” rankings of the league’s top youth talent in 2015.

The Lee’s Summit, Mo. native joined the Sporting KC Academy at age 13 and has represented United States 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) and Austria (April) before joining the U.S. Under-20 Men’s National Team for the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup. He started one match in the tournament as the U.S. advanced to the quarterfinals. He then captained the U-20s for the 2015 Stevan Vilotic-Cele Tournament in September.

A nine-year MLS veteran, Peterson has 16 goals and 16 assists in 225 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 111 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 225 regular season appearances are second most on the team, behind only Paulo Nagamura (242).

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 sealed 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.

Most recently, Quintilla spent the 2014/15 season with AC Ajaccio in the French Ligue 2 and played in 20 games across all competitions for the club.

Sporting KC’s 2014 Defender of the Year, Seth Sinovic is in his sixth MLS season and fifth campaign at his hometown club. A regular fixture at left back, he is the only player on the team to start at least 30 regular season games in each of the last three seasons. He missed more than three months in 2015 with a concussion before returning to the lineup on Aug. 29.

Drafted in 2010 by the New England Revolution, Sinovic joined Sporting KC in 2011 and has started 152 of his 154 total appearances for the club in all competitions. He scored his first professional goal in the 2012 MLS Cup Playoffs and registered the second of his career in the 2013 postseason against his former team, helping Sporting KC prevail in the decisive leg of the 2013 Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Sinovic received his first call-up to the United States Men’s National Team ahead of the 2014 USMNT January camp.

A seventh-year veteran for Sporting KC, Graham Zusi has garnered MLS All-Star (20122015), MLS Best XI (2012-2013) and MLS Breakout Player of the Year (2011) honors in addition to receiving a 2012 MLS MVP nomination. The winger is the only MLS player with at least five goals and at least seven assists in each of the previous four regular seasons. He has earned Sporting KC MVP honors each of the last three years (twice a co-MVP) and has led the club in assists every year since 2011. He was named to the All-Star Fan XI ahead of the 2015 AT&T MLS All-Star Game on July 29 and is the only player to appear in each of the last four MLS All-Star games.

Zusi signed a long-term Designated Player contract with the team in July 2014. Since 2011, he is third in MLS with 409 chances created and first with 398 successful crosses/ corners (including playoffs). His 55 career assists in all competitions are second most in club history.

Zusi has earned 32 caps for the United States Men’s National Team since debuting in January 2012, recording three goals and six assists. He was on the U.S. roster for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, playing in all four matches at the tournament. In the group stage, he provided the game-winning assist in a 2-1 win over Ghana before adding another assist in a 2-2 draw with Portugal. He played in his first CONCACAF Gold Cup this summer, starting two matches as the U.S. finished in fourth place.

Sporting KC Coach Bios | Oct. 29, 2015 at Portland Timbers | Western Conference Knockout Round 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 113 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 89 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 Men’s National Team. He recorded one assist for the U.S., who went 15-2-4 when Zavagnin featured. He 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.

Fitness Coach | Mateus Manoel

Once his playing career was over, Pascarella began coaching as a member of Sasho Cirovski’s staff at Maryland. He then went on to work in Northern Virginia youth soccer circles as a high school coach and Olympic Development Program coach before becoming the Head Coach and Technical Director of the Northern Virginia Royals of the USL’s Premier Development League for two seasons.

Pascarella joined Kansas City’s technical staff in 2009 and was a goalkeeper and fitness coach until 2011, when he became an assistant.

In the summer of 2010, Manoel was an Assistant Fitness Coach for the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team during the FIFA World Cup in South Africa. He had formerly served as the Head Fitness Coach for the Mexican Men’s National Team in 2009, working with renowned coach Sven-Goran Eriksson.

During 2007 and 2008, Manoel held a position with Athletes’ Performance in the Home Depot Center in Los Angeles, where he worked with professional athletes from a variety of sports, including NFL, NHL, MLB and MLS (Chivas USA and LA Galaxy). Previously, he had assisted with strength and conditioning for D.C. United from the MLS, while concurrently holding the position of Sports Performance Director with Velocity Sports Performance in Alexandria, Virginia.

Manoel holds a Master’s degree in Exercise Physiology from George Washington University, where he was also responsible for the strength and conditioning needs of the Colonials Men’s Varsity Soccer Team. He also holds a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from the University of Maryland - College Park and is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association. Manoel was born in Brazil and is fluent in both Portuguese and Spanish.
