May 23, 2015 (WEEK 12, MLS Game #118) 7 p.m. PT (JOEtv / ROOT-NW Alt; KMCI-38) A vital meeting in the Western Conference is ahead when Seattle Sounders FC return home to take on Sporting Kansas City on Saturday evening at CenturyLink Field. The teams are separated by just two points in a tight divisional tussle, Sounders FC sitting just two points off the top spot. Sounders FC head back home following an impressive 2-0 victory at West leaders Vancouver Whitecaps FC, while Sporting hit the road after putting an end to the New England Revolution’s long undefeated run with a 4-2 home win at midweek.

Seattle Sounders FC, 4 p.m. CT (ESPN2) LAST YEAR (MLS) 3/8: SEA 1, KC 0 (Barrett 94+)  Sounders FC have an eight-game league unbeaten streak alive against Sporting, including a 1-0 win at CenturyLink Field last March 8 in the only meeting between the teams. Since a 1-0 KC win in 2009 in the first meeting ever between the clubs, Seattle has won seven matches (with one draw).  The teams did meet in the 2012 U.S. Open Cup Final, Sporting winning in a penalty-kick shootout after a 1-1 draw over 120 minutes in K.C., ending Sounders FC’s three-year hold on the Open Cup title.  Coaches record: Peter Vermes vs. SEA: P8 W0 L7 D1 … Sigi Schmid vs. KC: P41 W20 L15 D6 SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC Seattle Sounders FC returned to their winning ways, concluding a three-game road swing with a 2-0 win against Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Saturday afternoon at BC Place. Sounders FC are in third place in the Western Conference with 19 points from 10 matches.

LAST MATCH  Sounders FC got off to the perfect start, taking the lead after just five minutes. Collecting a bouncing ball in midfield, Clint Dempsey played in Chad Barrett and he outpaced the Whitecaps FC backline to finish low past goalkeeper David Ousted.  Sounders FC doubled their lead with seven minutes remaining in the half. Barrett struck again, getting on the end of a perfectly weighted pass from Marco Pappa before volleying past Ousted from a tight angle, the finish capping off a 25-pass sequence.  Sounders FC head coach Sigi Schmid made two changes to the team that fell 3-2 to Columbus Crew SC at Mapfre Stadium. Lamar Neagle came into a wide role in place of Andy Rose, and Chad Barrett started up top in place of Obafemi Martins.  SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC (4-4-2): Stefan Frei - Tyrone Mears, Brad Evans, Chad Marshall, Dylan Remick Marco Pappa (Leo Gonzalez 90), Osvaldo Alonso, Gonzalo Pineda, Lamar Neagle (Darwin Jones 85) - Chad Barrett (Andy Rose 72), Clint Dempsey.

TEAM NEWS  It was a second victory on the three-game road swing for Sounders FC, who have victories in five of their last six matches.  “It’s early in the season but we wanted to let people know that we are still here. We haven’t disappeared,” Schmid said. “I know Dallas and Vancouver have been on top of the table pretty much from the beginning of the season. But we wanted to let people know the road still goes through Seattle.”

MLS GAME INFORMATION

The visit by Sporting KC starts a string of three home games over the next week. Sounders FC return to CenturyLink Field not having allowed a goal there in their last 200 minutes.

“We’ve got a tough stretch next week,” Schmid said. “I know we’ve got three at home, but we still have three games in a week so it’s going to be a little bit of work. That means we’re going to have to rely on our whole team as well. Different people are going to pop up and play.”

Chad Barrett scored two goals in a game for the sixth time in his MLS career – the first time since 2010 – for his first two goals this season. It was his second start of the year, his first since March 28. “[Barrett] has scored goals in this league before,” Seattle head coach Sigi Schmid said. “I know he’s a good player. He scored goals for us last year. We talked about it. ‘Hey, here’s your chance. You’ve got to make use of your opportunity. Focus on the game.’ We tried to keep him in between their two center backs and look for those little gaps when they popped up and he finished both his chances really well.”

Barrett was in the lineup in place of Obafemi Martins, who was out with a tibial contusion. Martins had not returned to full training at the start of the week before the Sporting match. “[Martins] looks unlikely for this weekend,” Schmid said. “He’s in the gym and working, but he can’t get on the field yet.”

Clint Dempsey extended his streak to eight games this year with a goal and/or an assist – every game he’s played this season – with an assist vs. Vancouver. Dating back to last year, Dempsey has a goal and/or assist in 10 consecutive games; the MLS record is 11 games, set three times previously.

It was a sixth clean sheet of the season for Sounders FC, the first since April 26, and the first after again conceding a season-high three goals.

“Three out of our back four are new guys. Remick didn’t play that much last year. Tyrone’s a new guy, we shifted Brad Evans’ position and I think those guys are really starting to gel and understand each other,” said Schmid.

Said goalkeeper Stefan Frei: “That was probably our best performance overall just because we were very efficient and in control offensively and defensively at all times. Our possession was spot on. The way we took care of our chances was clinical. It was a pleasure to watch.”

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City extended their undefeated run to four games, rolling to a 4-2 win against the New England Revolution on Wednesday evening at Sporting Park. Sporting are in a tie for fourth place in the Western Conference with 17 points from 11 matches.

LAST MATCH  The Revolution took the lead in the 11th minute. Kelyn Rowe sent through a long diagonal ball 30 yards from goal for Juan Agudelo to run onto. After making a cutback that took a Sporting defender off his feet, Agudelo calmly slotted the ball past Tim Melia with the goalkeeper caught well off his line.  But the Sporting barrage began in the 29th minute. In the center of the box, Dom Dwyer squared up with his back to goal, received a pass from Krisztian Nemeth off his chest, spun to his right and fired a low left-footed shot inside goalkeeper Brad Knighton's right post.  SKC took the lead in the 39th minute when Nemeth headed home from inside the area from a free kick flighted in by Benny Feilhaber out on the left flank. Just three minutes after that, Revolution defender Jose Goncalves was called for a foul on Dwyer just inside the top of the penalty and referee Allen Chapman pointed to the spot, and Feilhaber sent the 'keeper the wrong way in converting the resulting penalty.  Less than a half-minute into the second half, Nemeth bagged his second of the night. Winger Jacob Peterson made a long run to win a duel for the ball outside the New England penalty area, then sent a perfect diagonal pass that Nemeth settled and finished cleanly under Knighton.  New England pulled a goal back in the 64th minute when Scott Caldwell knocked home second-half substitute Teal Bunbury's cross from just right of the penalty spot.  SKC manager Peter Vermes made four changes to the team that came back for a 1-1 draw with D.C. United at RFK Stadium. Kevin Ellis and Amadou Dia came into the back four in place of Erik Palmer-Brown and Seth Sinovic, and Paulo Nagamura and Krisztian Nemeth came into the team replacing Roger Espinoza and Graham Zusi.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Tim Melia - Jalil Anibaba, Kevin Ellis, Matt Besler, Amadou Dia - Soni Mustivar - Benny Feilhaber, Paulo Nagamura (Servando Carrasco 86) - Jacob Peterson (Connor Hallisey 79), Dom Dwyer, Krisztian Nemeth (Saad Abdul-Salaam 90).

TEAM NEWS  Sporting made it four games without defeat, with two wins and two draws in that time, with the win against New England. SKC has suffered just one loss in their last nine games dating back to March 21.  Sporting also remained undefeated for the season at Sporting Park with a second home victory. Sporting are 30-3 on their home ground this season, one of five undefeated teams at home still remaining in MLS.

The four goals scored equaled the most for Sporting this season – matching the total they hit for in a wild 4-4 draw at the Houston Dynamo on April 25.

“The execution of the game plan was very good. We played with a lot of intelligence in the game, and I thought that was the difference. There was obviously a lot of effort and everything else, but I thought our intelligence in the game was very good,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes.

Krisztian Nemeth scored his first two-goal game since coming to MLS, now leading Sporting with five goals this season. Nemeth had been held without a goal in back-to-back games after scoring three goals over a fourgame span April 5-25. He also contributed his first MLS assist.

Dom Dwyer scored for a second consecutive match, his third goal in the last four matches and his fourth goal of the season, all since April 5.

“There's no doubt that Dom can score and there is no doubt that Krisztian can. It's just them getting used to the league a little. They found themselves in some really good spots and probably could have scored another one. … We could have scored a few more goals in that game. We were good,” said Vermes.

Said Dwyer: “We work well off each other, we kind of know where we're going to be. I'll work off the ball for him and he'll work off the ball for me. We have a little combination going. We're very unselfish with each other, we just want to win. We don't care who scores, we just want to win. At the end of the day, we're very happy right now. Four goals is a job well done for us.”

Benny Feilhaber converted his second penalty kick this season for his third goal on the year, and also added his sixth and seventh assists of the season – now leading MLS. “These guys, they make the game without our midfield sometimes, which then opens up everything for us,” Feilhaber said. “Dom … the work he does up there creates so much opportunity for us. Krisztian, he has a way of not only dribbling the ball, but the way he manages the ball at his feet. He opens up space for other guys.

Defenders keep their eye on him, which opens up space for the runs. It's very easy playing with guys like that.”

Newcomer Amadou Dia made his first start since March 14, when he started the first two games of the season, coming in at left back.

Connor Hallisey made his third substitute appearances – all over the last four matches – while Saad AbdulSalaam made his MLS and Sporting KC debut as a late substitute.

“Our three first round draft picks closed out the game. … It was great to see those three guys in this time while we are struggling regarding injuries and everything else. For all three of those guys to be in at the end and still help us solidify and get a result is excellent,” said Vermes.

SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC vS. SPORTING KANSAS CITY| MAY 23, 2015 - 7:00 P.M. PT SOUNDERS FC HISTORY

HEAD COACH SIGI SCHMID

Named the first Head Coach of Seattle Sounders FC on December 16, 2008, Sigi Schmid is the winningest coach in MLS history.

Since 1999, Schmid’s teams have won nine major titles, including two MLS Cups.

A two-time MLS Coach of the Year, Schmid has led Sounders FC to seven-consecutive appearances in the MLS Cup Playoffs, marking the second-longest active streak while nearing the record for most consecutive postseason appearances by an expansion team.

Schmid also guided Sounders FC to a record three-straight Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup titles, becoming the first team in 42 years to win back-to-back championships.

Schmid joined Sounders FC in its inaugural campaign after leading the Columbus Crew to its first MLS Cup and Supporters’ Shield, earning MLS Coach of the Year honors in 2008. From 1999 through 2004, Schmid’s L.A. Galaxy teams won four major competitions: the 2002 MLS Cup and Supporters’ Shield, the 2001 U.S. Open Cup and the 2001 CONCACAF Champions Cup. He was voted the MLS Coach of the Year in his first season, 1999. Altogether, his Galaxy teams were 79-53-32 and reached the MLS Cup final four times, winning three division crowns.

Schmid has twice served as the U.S. U-20 National Team head coach, most recently in 2005 at the FIFA World Championships.

Schmid first forged a winning tradition at his alma mater, UCLA. After serving as an assistant, he was elevated to head coach of the Bruins in 1980, beginning a 19-year run at the helm. He claimed three national titles (1985, 1990, 1997) and was named national coach of the year following the 1997 championship. His UCLA teams accumulated a record of 322-63-33. Schmid ranks No. 1 in MLS career victories (213) and games coached (462).

Overall, Schmid’s record in MLS is 213-143-106. His combined postseason win total (24) is the second-highest in MLS history.

Sporting KC Game Notes | May 23, 2015: at Seattle Sounders FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #SEAvSKC: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#SEAvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting KC travels to Seattle in hopes of snapping an eight-game winless run against Sounders FC. Kansas City won the inaugural regular season contest between the clubs in April 2009 at CenturyLink Field, but Seattle has held the upper hand since then with seven victories and a draw.

Seattle has a history of leaving it late against Sporting KC, scoring eight of their 12 goals in the series after the 75th minute. Seattle has scored in second half stoppage time to win each of the last two meetings, but the trend dates back even further: Sporting KC has given up nine points after the 65th minute during their eight-game winless streak against the reigning Supporters Shield and U.S. Open Cup champions. The spell includes four 1-0 defeats in which Seattle scored after the 90th minute and another loss in which Sporing KC led going into the 90th minute. #SEAvSKC regular season meetings Date Score Result Details

Manager Peter Vermes is one shy of his 100th win for Sporting KC in all competitions.

Vermes’ 80 regular season wins are tied with Octavio Zambrano for 11th most in MLS history, one shy of tying Dave Dir in 10th place.

Dom Dwyer is tied for 6th in KC history with 32 goals in all competitions, nine goals shy of reaching the top five.

Dwyer’s 28 regular season goals are tied for 7th in KC history, three behind Mo Johnston (1996-01) in 6th.

Dwyer is one shy of his 50th regular season start for Sporting KC. Graham Zusi is one shy of his 150th start for Sporting KC in all competitions.

Krisztian Nemeth can become just the second player in MLS history to score goals in each of his first six shots on target. Defender Claudio Suarez scored in his first seven attempts on goal as a member of Chivas USA from 2006-2007.

On Wednesday, Nemeth became the first SKC player since Graham Zusi in June 2011 to record two goals and one assist in a match.

SKC has scored four or more goals twice in a four-game span for the fourth time in team history and the first time since 2003.

SKC has already won twice this season when allowing two goals (4/5 and 5/20). The team won two such games in the previous three seasons combined.

Sporting KC Game Notes | May 23, 2015: at Seattle Sounders FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES SPORTING KC RALLIES FOR 4-2 WIN OVER NEW ENGLAND Playing the team’s 100th game at Sporting Park and 200th MLS match under Manager Peter Vermes, Sporting Kansas City rallied for a 4-2 victory over the New England Revolution on Wednesday at Sporting Park. Juan Agudelo opened the scoring for the visitors with an early goal in the 11th minute before Sporting Kansas City responded with four straight goals in a 18-minute span.

Dom Dwyer’s well-taken goal in the 29th minute sparked the comeback followed by two goals from Krisztian Nemeth and the game-winner from Benny Feilhaber, who also earned his League-leading sixth assist of the season. Though the Revolution’s Scott Caldwell pulled a goal back in the 64th minute, Sporting KC snapped New England’s nine-game unbeaten run to remain unbeaten both at home (3-0-3) and against Eastern Conference opponents (4-0-2) in 2015.

GOALS FLYING IN Sporting KC exploded for four goals on Wednesday en route to beating the New England Revolution 4-2 at Sporting Park. The output brings their total to 17 goals scored on the season, tied for first in MLS with New England, FC Dallas and Saturday’s opponent Seattle Sounders FC. Coming not long after a 4-4 draw at Houston on April 25, SKC has scored four or more goals twice in a four-game span for the fourth time in team history and the first time since 2003. In addition, SKC has already won twice this season when allowing two goals (4/5 and 5/20). The team won two such games in the previous three seasons combined.

DAUNTING STRETCH OF MATCHES CONTINUES Sporting KC is embarking on a stretch of five straight games against opponents who qualified for the 2014 postseason. SKC defeated reigning Eastern Conference champion and 2014 MLS Cup finalist New England Revolution 4-2 on Wednesday and now travels to face defending Supporters Shield champion Seattle Sounders FC (6-3-1, 19 pts.) just three days later. The team returns to Sporting Park on May 29 to host Western Conference leaders FC Dallas (6-2-3, 21 pts.) before locking horns again with Seattle on June 6 at Sporting Park. Following their first bye week of the season, SKC will visit Rio Tinto Stadium on June 21, where Real Salt Lake (3-3-5, 14 pts.) has lost just twice since the beginning of 2014.

FOUR ROOKIES DRESS IN WEDNESDAY’S VICTORY Sporting KC—without seven players due to injury, including World Cup veterans Graham Zusi and Roger Espinoza, as well as an eighth on international duty—played all three of the team’s first-round SuperDraft picks and dressed a fourth rookie draft selection in Wednesday’s win over New England.

Left back Amadou Dia (No. 20 overall) made his third MLS start while midfielder Connor Hallisey (No. 10 overall) and defender Saad-Abdul Salaam (No. 12 overall) entered as late substitutes. Abdul-Salaam received his MLS debut just a day after being recalled from his loan to the NASL’s San Antonio Scorpions. In addition, rJames Ansu Rogers (No. 53 overall) was named to the substitutes bench for the first time this season.

Wednesday’s match was the first since Nov. 8, 2008, in which SKC played three rookie draft selections in the same MLS game. It was also the first time since May 26, 2007, in which four rookies were in Kansas City’s 18 for a regular season match.

TOUGH TO BEAT Peter Vermes’ side has proven hard to beat during the first two months of the season. SKC battled back from a 1-0 deficit at D.C. on May 9 to earn a 1-1 draw then came from behind to beat New England on Wednesday. The team has now claimed seven points from games when conceding first (2-2-1 record), most in MLS. Furthermore, the club’s two losses through 11 games are their fewest to start a season since 2005 and tied for their second fewest all-time.

Fewest losses to start a Sporting KC season Season Losses Record through 11 games 2000 0 9-0-2 (29 points) 2003 2 4-2-5 (17 points) 2005 2 4-2-5 (17 points) 2015 2 4-2-5 (17 points)

VERMES ONE SHY OF 100 WINS AS SPORTING KC HEAD COACH Sporting KC manager Peter Vermes has won 99 matches in all competitions since taking over in August 2009. He will go for his 100th career victory on Saturday against a Seattle side he has never defeated in MLS (0-7-1).

Vermes is the only person to win MLS Cup as both a player (2000) and a coach (2013) for the same club. In addition to winning an MLS Cup championship in 2013, Vermes has guided Sporting KC to two regular season conference titles (2011, 2012) and a U.S. Open Cup title (defeating Seattle in the final at Sporting Park).

The seventh-year head coach has won 80 regular season matches, tied with Octavio Zambrano for 11th most in MLS history and one shy of tying Dave Dir for 10th. He coached his 200th MLS match on Wednesday and has logged an 85-64-51 league record including postseason. He has a 99-70-55 mark in all competitions.

SPORTING KC PLAYS 100TH MATCH AT SPORTING PARK Sporting KC played their 100th match at Sporting Park on Wednesday, cruising to a 4-2 victory over the New England Revolution for their 50th all-time win at the stadium (shootout wins in 2012 U.S. Open Cup and 2013 MLS Open Cup counted as draws). The 100 games include 74 regular season, six postseason, 10 Open Cup, five CONCACAF Champions League and five friendly matches.

Sporting Park has sold out 59 consecutive MLS matches (including playoffs) dating back to March 2012 and 76 of 100 overall since opening in June 2011 (all competitions). Sporting KC has set new regular season attendance records in each of the last four years, eclipsing 20,00 spectators per game in 2014. In 80 MLS matches played at the venue, Sporting Park is averaging 19,364 spectators -- 104.9 percent of its 18,467-seat capacity.

DWYER CLIMBING THE GOAL CHARTS Dom Dwyer bagged SKC’s first goal in a 4-2 win over New England on Wednesday. The Englishman, who set SKC’s single-season record with 24 goals in all competitions last year, moved into a tie with Mo Johnston for sixth place on the club’s all-time scoring chart with his 32nd career goal in all competitions.

Dwyer, 24, is nine goals shy of entering the top five on the club’s all-time scoring chart in all competitions. His .400 goals per game rate is second best in Kansas City history (minimum 10 goals), behind only Miklos Molnar (.709) who scored 17 goals over 24 games in 2000.

SPORTING KC AND COLORADO RESCHEDULE MATCH FOR OCT. 21 May 16’s regular season match between Sporting KC and the Colorado Rapids at Sporting Park was postponed due to inclement weather. The match, originally scheduled to kick off at 7:30 p.m. CT, was the first postponed game in Sporting Park’s five-year history. The game has been rescheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 21, four days before the final match day of the regular season.

PALMER-BROWN HEADING TO FIFA U-20 WORLD CUP Sporting KC defender Erik Palmer-Brown has been selected to the United States Under-20 Men’s National Team roster for the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup, to be held from May 30 – June 20 in New Zealand. Palmer-Brown has joined the U-20 squad in Australia for training ahead of their first match of the tournament on May 30.

Palmer-Brown has appeared in eight matches for Sporting KC across all competition, including a 90-minute outing in a 1-1 draw at D.C. United on May 9, since signing as a homegrown player in August 2013. He made his MLS debut in 2014 at age 17 and remains the youngest player to appear in a Major League Soccer match in club history.

Palmer-Brown debuted with the United States Under-20 Men’s National Team as a 16-year-old in January 2014. He participated in the 2014 Dallas Cup with the U-20’s and has since participated in three of the team’s international training camps in Argentina (September 2014), England (March 2015) and Austria (April 2015).

The United States is one of 24 countries to qualify for the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup. Coached by Tab Ramos, the Yanks were drawn into Group A alongside Myanmar (May 30), New Zealand (June 2) and Ukraine (June 5). The top two teams in each of the six groups – along with the top four overall third-placed teams – advance to the Round of 16 in the tournament’s Knockout Stage.

NEMETH CATCHING FIRE Krisztian Nemeth bagged his first MLS brace on Wednesday and now leads the team with five goals in 2015. All five of his shots on target this season have resulted in goals, making him one of only four players in MLS history to score on each of their first five shots on goal during the regular season (Charlie Davies, Jesse Marsch and Claudio Suarez).

Nemeth turned in a comprehensive performance against New England, adding an assist to become the first SKC player since Graham Zusi in June 2011 to notch two goals and an assist in the same game. He also completed 25 of his 26 passes to lead the team with a passing accuracy clip of 96.1 percent.

Acquired in December, Nemeth is a member of the Hungary Men’s National Team and boasts 10 years of professional experience in Europe. He played for the Liverpool FC Reserves from 2007-08 while also competing in Greece, Netherlands and his native Hungary. He most recently played for Roda JC Kerkrade of the Dutch second division in 2013-14.

Sporting KC Game Notes | May 23, 2015: at Seattle Sounders FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES (CONTINUED) FEILHABER ON PACE FOR CAREER SEASON From a playmaking perspective, Benny Feilhaber has raced out to one of the best starts in Kansas City history. The 30-year-old World Cup veteran leads MLS with seven assists and ranks tied for third with 30 chances created.

Feilhaber, who won Etihad Airways MLS Player of the Month for April, is on pace for a career season and looks likely to receive MLS All-Star honors for the first time in 2015. With 23 league games still to play, his three goals are one shy of his regular season career-high while his seven assists match a career-high set in 2011.

Feilhaber joined MLS in 2011, playing two seasons for New England before joining SKC ahead of the 2013 campaign. In Wednesday’s 4-2 win over his former club, the midfielder tallied one goal, two assists and surpassed 10,000 MLS minutes played (including postseason).

OFFSEASON OVERHAUL A roster makeover during the offseason saw Sporting KC acquire 13 new players and part ways with 15 members from last year’s squad. While retaining its veteran core – Matt Besler, Graham Zusi, Dom Dwyer, Seth Sinovic and Chance Myers – the club made multiple signings at each position.

New goalkeepers (2): Luis Marin (31), a Chilean international (eight caps) with 12 years of professional experience in his native country and Sporting KC’s current holder of the No. 1 jersey; Tim Melia (28), a sixth-year MLS veteran who was a League Pool Goalkeeper in 2014 and received a call-up from Sporting KC last summer.

New defenders (4): Jalil Anibaba (26), a versatile veteran who has started more than 100 MLS matches over four years with Chicago and Seattle; Saad Abdul-Salaam (23), a right back out of Akron selected 12th overall in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft; Amadou Dia (21), a left back out of Clemson selected 20th overall in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft; Marcel de Jong (28), a Canadian international (33 caps) who has played each of the last four years at FC Augsburg of the German Bundesliga.

New midfielders (3): Roger Espinoza (28), a Honduran international (46 caps) and MLS All-Star who played in Kansas City from 2008-2012 before joining Wigan Athletic in England; Servando Carrasco (26), an MLS veteran who played 60 games over four years with Seattle and Houston; Soni Mustivar (25), a Haiti international who has played each of the last three seasons with Petrolul Ploiesti in the Romanian first division.

New forwards (4): Bernardo Anor (26), a fifth-year veteran who played 72 MLS matches and scored 12 goals in Columbus; Krisztian Nemeth (26), a Hungarian international (15 caps) with nearly 10 years of pro experience across Europe; Connor Hallisey (22), a winger out of California selected 10th overall in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft; James Ansu Rogers (21), a winger out of New Mexico selected 53rd overall in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft.

ROAD WARRIORS Sporting KC has won 30 away matches in MLS since the beginning of 2011, tied for most in MLS, including eight road wins in each of the previous three regular seasons. Their 24 road wins from 2012-2014 are the most of any MLS club over a three-year span during the non-shootout era (2000-present). Sporting KC is one of two MLS teams (Saturday’s opponent Seattle Sounders FC) with a winning road record since the beginning of 2011, compiling a 30-28-19 mark away from home (including postseason).

SPORTING KC A SET PIECE THREAT Through the first 11 weeks of the season, Sporting KC has been one of the league’s most dangerous teams on set pieces. In addition to scoring five goals directly off set pieces, the team has accumulated numerous statistics that illustrate their set piece prowess.

• Sporting KC leads MLS with 34 chances created from set plays (11 more than any other team) and six assists from set plays • Sporting KC leads MLS with six headed goals • Benny Feilhaber (3) and Matt Besler (2) are two of five MLS players with multiple assists from set plays.

2015 MEDIA RECOGNITIONS JALIL ANIBABA Week 5 (4/6) Week 9 (5/4)

MELIA STEPS UP Tim Melia has started each of the last three matches in goal for Sporting KC after being a longtime backup with two other clubs. The sixth-year MLS veteran was signed in the offseason 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).

In his club debut on May 3 at Sporting Park, Melia recorded the first win and shutout of his six-year MLS career as Sporting KC blanked the Chicago Fire 1-0. His solid outing between the posts, punctuated by three sure-handed saves—one of which was nominated for MLS Save of the Week—earned him BurgerFi Man of the Match honors and Team of the Week recognition from MLSsoccer.com and SI.com.

IN-FORM DEFENDER IKE OPARA SIDELINED WITH RUPTURED ACHILLES Sporting KC announced on April 13 that defender Ike Opara has been diagnosed with a ruptured Achilles tendon in his left ankle. He suffered the injury in a scoreless draw between Sporting KC and Real Salt Lake on April 11. The 26-year-old had played every minute of the team’s first six games until that point after coming back from a season-ending surgery in his right ankle one year ago.

At the time of his injury, Opara led Sporting KC (and all MLS defenders) with two goals in 2015, while also anchoring a backline that had three shutouts and conceded the fewest shots per game (9.8) of any team in the league. He led all players in 2015 with 30 interceptions and 33 aerials won, while ranking second in duels won (55). He was named to MLSsoccer.com’s Team of the Week in three of the season’s first four weeks and finished third in MLS Player of the Month voting for March.

Bernardo Anor joined Sporting KC from Columbus Crew SC in December 2014 to become the club’s first offseason acquisition. The 26-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.

Anor played 13 MLS matches as a rookie and 11 games in 2012 before suffering a season-ending ACL injury.

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 32 career goals in all competitions are tied for sixth in team history.

Dwyer, who was named an MLS All-Star in 2014 for the first time in his career, has scored 54 goals in all competitions since the beginning of 2013—32 for Sporting KC and 22 for former USL PRO affiliate Orlando City SC.

Feilhaber turned professional in 2005 with Hamburg (Germany) after two seasons at UCLA.

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.

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.

He earned back-to-back MLS Save of the Week honors in his first two MLS appearances 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. He made his NASL debut for San Antonio on April 4 with a start.

At the beginning of 2015, 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. He previously represented the U.S. at the under-14 through under-23 levels.

In his MLS debut on March 8, Marin became the 15th goalkeeper in Sporting KC history to start a regular season match. He posted his first shutout for the club on March 21 against Portland before taking his first win on March 28 at New York City FC. The veteran began his career with Audax Italiano (2003-2006) before moving to Lota Schwager in 2007. Union Espanola acquired Marin from 2008-2010, during which time the club finished in first place in the 2009 Torneo Apertura standings and reached the round of 16 in the 2009 Copa Sudamericana. In 2011, he was recruited to O’Higgins FC and became captain for the club. He led O’Higgins to a berth in the 2012 Copa Sudamericana after finishing second in the 2012 Apertura.

Marin has made eight appearances for the Chile Men’s National Team and was selected to the nation’s 23-player roster for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. He made his international debut in March 2010 and last captained Chile in February 2012.

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 made 145 appearances for the club in all competitions, recording four goals and 15 assists from the wing back position.

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. Despite being sidelined since May 2014 with an Achilles injury, he still ranks fourth in MLS with 96 successful crosses from open play (including postseason) since the beginning of 2011.

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 signed defensive midfielder Soni Mustivar ahead of the 2015 season. The 25-year-old made his MLS debut as a second-half substitute on March 21 against Portland before earning his first start on May 3 vs. Chicago.

Mustivar began his professional career as a teenager with SC Bastia in France’s Ligue 2 during the 2008-09 and 2009-10 seasons. Following a loan spell at US Orleans (France), he 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.

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. On March 8, 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 played in the inaugural Chipotle MLS Homegrown Game last August., helping the MLS Homegrown team secure a 0-0 draw against the Portland Timbers U-23s.

The Lee’s Summit, Mo. native joined the Sporting KC Academy at age 13. He has represented United States youth national teams at the U-15, U-17, U-18 and U-20 levels, most recently competing with the U-20s at training camps in England (March 23-30) and Austria (April 18-26). He has been named to the United States Under-20 Men’s National Team for the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup, to be held from May 30 - June 20 in New Zealand. He is one of six defenders on Tab Ramos’ 20-man roster.

Sporting KC Coach Bios | May 23, 2015: at Seattle Sounders FC | 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 head coach, and his .553 regular season winning percentage (80-60-49) is best in club history. During his tenure, he has won two major trophies – the 2012 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup 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 78 regular season wins are tied for 12th most in MLS history.

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.

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.

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 marked the first time the United States 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, appearing 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.

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 became eligible for the veteran ballot and on October 11, 2013, Vermes was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame.

Year

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.

In 2007 Savic switched to the outdoor game, joining Chivas USA as an assistant to then-head coach Preki before moving into the commentary booth for Kansas City matches in 2008 and 2009. Savic’s career as a commentator was cut short, however, when newly installed Manager Peter Vermes tabbed Savic to be part of his coaching staff late in the 2009 season.

Assistant Coach | John Pascarella Assistant Coach John Pascarella played professionally for nine seasons before beginning his coaching career in 1998 at the University of Maryland. Pascarella played club soccer with Sporting Kansas City Technical Director Peter Vermes. His playing experience took him to Peru before he returned to the United States to play in the A-League and MLS.

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.

Mateus Manoel is in his sixth season with Sporting Kansas City as Head Fitness Coach. His responsibilities cover all aspects of sport performance and science for the team, including strength and conditioning, injury prevention, field practices, nutrition, fitness monitoring (training load and readiness), player re-adaptation following rehab and recovery.

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.
