SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City extended their undefeated run to four games in impressive fashion, rolling to a 4-0 win against FC Dallas on Friday evening at Sporting Park. Sporting are in a tie for third place in the Western Conference with 21 points from 13 matches.

LAST MATCH  Sporting took the lead in the 19th minute. After Krisztian Nemeth was fouled about 30 yards from goal on the right, Graham Zusi put the free kick service into the six-yard box, and center back Kevin Ellis headed the ball back across the goalmouth for Nemeth to finish from point-blank range inside Dan Kennedy's right post.  FC Dallas went a man down two minutes before halftime when Zach Loyd grabbed and pulled down Nemeth on the left wing 10 minutes after drawing his first caution and was sent off by referee David Gantar.

MLS GAME INFORMATION



The lead was doubled in the 51st minute, when SKC right back Jalil Anibaba sent the ball into the area to Nemeth. He spun away from a defender and centered the ball to an unmarked Benny Feilhaber, who slotted it past Kennedy.  Six minutes later, Zusi sent in a corner kick and Ellis raced in past a fallen defender to head the ball home.

Then in the 64th minute, Connor Hallisey took a long pass in the FCD penalty area and cut across goal before sending a backheel into Zusi's path for a finish under Kennedy and the final scoreline.  SKC manager Peter Vermes made three changes to the team that reached a scoreless draw with Seattle Sounders FC at CenturyLink Field. Roger Espinoza, Connor Hallisey and Graham Zusi all came into the team team for Servando Carrasco, Jacob Peterson and Jimmy Medranda  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Tim Melia - Jalil Anibaba, Kevin Ellis, Matt Besler, Amadou Dia - Soni Mustivar - Benny Feilhaber, Roger Espinoza (Servando Carrasco 71) - Connor Hallisey (Marcel de Jong 65), Krisztian Nemeth, Graham Zusi (Saad Abdul-Salaam 83).

TEAM NEWS  Sporting have now gone six games (3-0-3) since their last defeat, their longest undefeated run this season and the fourth-longest in MLS this season. Sporting have won or drawn 10 of their last 11 matches, dating back to March 21, going 5-1-5 over that span.  Sporting also remained undefeated at Sporting Park, now with a 4-0-3 record in home games this season, one of four teams still remaining in MLS unbeaten on their home ground.  “The three points continue to come as we just need to continue to get results here at home and be tough to play against on the road. Since 2011, we're the best team on the road in the league. We have to continue to keep being a hard team to play,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes.  Returning to the starting lineup for the first time since May 9, Graham Zusi scored his first goal of the season, and added a pair of assists, his first helpers since May 3. It was the fifth multiple-assist game of Zusi’s MLS career.  “We had a great week of training and it's probably the best I've felt all season so far. It's good to get on the scoresheet but I'm most impressed with the team performance and most of all the shutout. That's two shutouts in a row and if they don't score, we've got a good chance to win,” said Zusi.  Tim Melia recorded a clean sheet for a second consecutive match, a first for his MLS career, and now has three shutouts in his five starts since taking over as starter between the posts May 3.  Making his third consecutive start in central defense, Kevin Ellis scored his first career MLS goal, in his 30th career appearance. Ellis also contributed an assist, his first of the season.  “That was probably his best game so far since he has been with us. He was in tune, he was very good in the air, his tackling was good, and he was really locked into the game,” said Vermes. “Sometimes he has a tendency to lose his concentration but tonight he was in the game the whole time. He did a very good job of covering for Besler when he would step out, so it was a very good game for him.”  Krisztian Nemeth scored a goal and added an assist, the second time in three games he’s had at least a goal and an assist in the same match. Nemeth has three goals and two assists over the last three games, involved in five of SKC’s eight goals.  “It's one thing when you play a ball into a guy with his back to the goal. It's another to have have runs off of him, because it can draw attention or it provides options for him. So I think the two things were really good,” said Vermes. “We were very good at finding him, his movement was good, and the runs off of him were good as well, and that's why we were able to see the opportunities that he was able to make or even score.”  Roger Espinoza returned to the starting lineup after missing two matches with a groin strain, while Paulo Nagamura (back injury) and Dom Dwyer (neck soreness) both missed a second successive match.  Making his first start as a professional, Connor Hallisey played 65 minutes and recorded his first career assist.  “He has got some really interesting qualities as a player. Every time he's in training, or now as he is coming into the games, he continues to impress more and more. You just start to see more things that you haven't seen before,” said Vermes. “He's deceptively fast and he's got a good engine as I said earlier on this week. But at the same time, he sees the game really well and he's got a great left foot.”

SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC Seattle Sounders FC extended their undefeated streak to four games in dramatic fashion, hitting for a late winner for a 2-1 win against the New York Red Bulls on Sunday afternoon at CenturyLink Field. Sounders FC are in first place in the Western Conference with 26 points from 13 matches.

LAST MATCH  The Red Bulls took the lead in the 36th minute after Sounders FC center back Brad Evans was whistled for a handball just outside his own penalty area. The resulting free kick from Bradley Wright-Phillips deflected off the Seattle wall and toward goal, allowing Lloyd Sam to sneak in and head the ball past goalkeeper Stefan Frei.  Sounders FC drew level in the 69th minute. Marco Pappa collected an Obafemi Martins ball on the left side of the box, juking past a defender before rifling a laser shot into the upper right corner.

MLS GAME INFORMATION



There were once again late dramatics from the home side as the contest hit stoppage time. Tyrone Mears lifted a cross in from the right wing that Clint Dempsey latched onto at the back post. He then hit the ball back across the face of goal, with Chad Barrett tapping it home into an empty net from right on the goal line.  Sounders FC head coach Sigi Schmid made two changes to the team that got the only goal of the game for a victory against the Colorado Rapids at CenturyLink Field. Chad Marshall and Dylan Remick returned to the back four for Zach Scott and Leo Gonzalez.  SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC (4-4-2): Stefan Frei - Tyrone Mears, Brad Evans (Zach Scott 75), Chad Marshall, Dylan Remick - Cristian Roldan (Lamar Neagle 64), Andy Rose, Osvaldo Alonso, Marco Pappa (Chad Barrett 89) - Clint Dempsey, Obafemi Martins.

TEAM NEWS  Sounders FC have won back-to-back games as they extended their current undefeated run to four matches (30-1). They have lost just once in their last eight games (6-1-1 over that time).  “For our team to have the resilience to battle back and win in injury time, it just says a lot about the team’s character,” Sounders FC head coach Sigi Schmid said. “Being able to put in the effort they put in today – I was extremely proud of them.”  Sounders FC also hit the road after taking seven of a possible nine points in a three-game homestand at CenturyLink Field. They are now 5-1-1 this season on their home ground.  “I didn’t think our game was 100 percent sharp,” Schmid said. “A little bit of that was just fatigue and it being the third game [in nine days] and playing against a good team and a team that pressed us. But overall, I thought the guys were OK.”  Clint Dempsey recorded an assist on the match-winning goal, now with six assists for the season, tied for third in MLS. Dempsey has seven goals, now involved in 13 of Sounders FC’s 20 for the year; he has a goal and/or an assist in nine of the 11 games he’s played this season.  “There’s very few people who could have put that ball on frame with their left foot going away from goal,” Schmid said. “That’s an extremely talented skill level.”  Obafemi Martins made a second consecutive start in attack after missing back-to-back games and recorded his third assist of the season, his first since May 3.  Chad Barrett came off the substitutes’ bench to score the match-winning goal, his third goal of the season, all coming over the last four matches.  While Dempsey will not join the U.S. national team for their upcoming friendlies while awaiting the impending birth of his fourth child, Brad Evans will be with the squad miss out on the Sporting KC match. Evans has played every MLS match this season in central defense; he missed his first minutes of the year when he came off after 75 minutes in the Red Bulls match.  “I had a conversation with [U.S. national team coach] Jurgen [Klinsmann] at the last camp and he saw me as a right back or center back and strictly that,” Evans said. “Maybe it helps out that I’ve played consistently in that position. They know what they’re getting, they know what to expect. You just hope to make an impact.”  Said Schmid: “It’s great [for Evans]. The game that they’re playing in Holland is outside the FIFA date. If they would have played those games within the FIFA date we would have missed him on the 13th of June. So now, we miss him on the sixth but we have him back for the 13th.”

Sporting KC Game Notes | June 6, 2015 vs. Seattle Sounders FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #SKCvSEA: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#SKCvSEA: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting KC (5-2-6, 21 pts.) hosts Seattle on Saturday in hopes of snapping a nine-game winless run against Sounders FC in league play, including an 0-4-0 mark at home. 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 two draws.

Seattle has a history of leaving it late against Sporting KC, scoring eight of their 12 goals in the series after the 75th minute. Sporting KC has dropped nine points after the 65th minute during their nine-game dry spell against the reigning Supporters Shield and U.S. Open Cup champions. The skid 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.

Peter Vermes’ men are scoreless in 352 regular season minutes against Sigi Schmid’s side dating back to June 2012 but enter Saturday as the top-scoring side in MLS with 21 goals, including four in each of their last two home games. #SEAvSKC regular season meetings Date Score Result Details

Manager Peter Vermes recorded his 100th coaching win for Sporting KC in all competitions last Friday, May 29.

Vermes’ 81 regular season wins are tied with Dave Dir for 10th most in MLS history, two shy of Thomas Rongen (1996-2001, 2005) in 9th.

Jacob Peterson is one shy of his 125th career MLS start (including postseason). He is also one shy of his 50th start for Sporting KC in all competitions.

Graham Zusi is one shy of his 125th career regular season start. If he plays 53 minutes on Saturday, he will pass Jimmy Nielsen on the club’s regular season minutes chart (currently at 11,445).

Zusi is one assist shy of tying Chris Klein on the club’s all-time MLS assist chart (including postseason). Zusi currently has 48 MLS assists.

Tim Melia is one game shy of becoming the first keeper in Kansas City history to go unbeaten in his first six starts.

Sporting KC Game Notes | June 6, 2015 vs. Seattle Sounders FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES LAST TIME OUT: SPORTING KC DRUBS DALLAS 4-0 AT SPORTING PARK Sporting KC stretched their unbeaten run to six games, the longest active streak in MLS, with a 4-0 victory over FC Dallas last Friday at Sporting Park. Krisztian Nemeth scored the game winner in the 19th minute with his team-leading sixth goal of the season, while Benny Feilhaber, Kevin Ellis and Graham Zusi all added goals of their own in the second half. Tim Melia made one save for the team’s sixth clean sheet of the season and is now unbeaten (3-0-2) as the team’s starter, becoming the second goalkeeper all-time to go without a loss in his first five appearances for the club.

Last Friday’s win, the 100th of Peter Vermes’ coaching career in all competitions, moved Sporting KC into third place in the West ahead of Saturday’s match against conference leaders Seattle Sounders FC.

NEMETH JOINS HUNGARY MEN’S NATIONAL TEAM Krisztian Nemeth joined the Hungary Men’s National Team on Monday for two international matches. Ranked No. 43 in the FIFA rankings, Hungary plays Lithuania on Friday (June 5) in preparation for an important UEFA Euro 2016 qualifier versus Finland next Saturday, June 13.

Boasting 10 years of professional experience in Europe, Nemeth has played in England, Greece, Netherlands and his native Hungary. He has made 15 international appearances for Hungary, debuting in 2010 and most recently representing his country in 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying.

ELLIS SHINES IN WIN OVER FC DALLAS Homegrown defender Kevin Ellis won two notable headers from Graham Zusi set pieces last Friday night—the first of which provided Krisztian Nemeth an easy finish at the far post in the 19th minute; the second marked Ellis’s first career MLS goal in the 57th minute.

The 23-year-old’s performance marked the first time since August 2007 (Jose Burciaga Jr.) that a Kansas City defender had notched a goal and an assist in a league match. Ellis signed for the club in February 2011 after playing one season at Barton County Community College (Kansas).

GOALS FLYING IN Sporting KC now leads MLS with 21 goals and 26 assists thanks to a trio of fourgoal performances during their six-game unbeaten run. Prior to this year, the team had scored four goals on three instances in a six-game span only once (back in 1996) in 20 seasons. By comparison, SKC struck four goals three times in all of 2014 and three times from 2011-2013 combined.

With first-year forward Krisztian Nemeth and midfield talisman Benny Feilhaber leading the way, the club’s recent scoring output has reached heights rarely seen in club history. Victories over New England (May 20) and FC Dallas (May 29) saw SKC bag four goals twice in one month for the first time since August of the inaugural 1996 season. Last Friday also marked the third time in team history that Kansas City has scored four goals in consecutive MLS home games.

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 is tied for the MLS with seven assists and ranks fourth with 33 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 21 league games still to play, his four goals and seven assists match MLS career-highs set in 2011.

VERMES WINS HIS 100TH GAME AS SPORTING KC HEAD COACH Last Friday, Peter Vermes earned his 100th coaching win for Sporting KC in all competitions. He will go for his 101st career victory on Saturday against a Seattle side he has never defeated in league play (0-7-2) since taking over in August 2009.

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 the 2013 U.S. Open Cup title, defeating Seattle in the final at Sporting Park.

The seventh-year head coach has won 81 regular season matches, tied with Dave Dir for 10th most in MLS history and two shy of tying Thomas Rongen for ninth. He coached his 200th MLS match on May 20 and has logged an 86-64-52 league record including postseason. He has a 100-70-56 mark in all competitions.

SKC SHOWING DEPTH AMIDST RASH OF INJURIES The lengthy list of recently injured SKC players includes Dom Dwyer, Bernardo Anor, Marcel de Jong, Roger Espinoza, Mikey Lopez (on loan), Chance Myers, Paulo Nagamura, Ike Opara and Seth Sinovic. Add in the absence of Erik Palmer-Brown, currently on international duty with the U.S. Under-20 Men’s National Team, and Manager Peter Vermes has been left to rely on his squad’s depth to secure three straight results against opponents sitting in the upper third of their conferences.

SKC first snapped the Revs’ nine-game unbeaten run with a 4-2 triumph on May 20, then became the only team this season to shut out Seattle on their home turf, and finally cruised past FC Dallas 4-0 last Friday.

No team in MLS has utilized more players in starting roles than SKC since the beginning of 2014—a total of 40 players. Despite this turnover in the lineup, including five starting goalkeepers, SKC is four games over .500 in regular season play since the start of 2014.

SHARING THE LOVE By the end of SKC’s 4-0 win over FC Dallas last Friday, the team had racked up seven assists—their highest total in an MLS match since June 20, 1999, when the side exploded for a team-record six goals and 10 assists. Moreover, the club’s 15-point haul (four goals, seven assists) had been reached just five previous times in team history, all during the 1990s shootout era.

ROOKIES STEPPING UP Sporting KC’S all hands on deck approach has given ample opportunities for newcomers, including three rookies taken in the first round of the 2015 MLS SuperDraft: Amadou Dia, Connor Hallisey and Saad Abdul-Salaam. The trio has shared the field in each of SKC’s last three games, marking the first MLS matches since Nov. 8, 2008 (Roger Espinoza, Jonathan Leathers, Matt Marquess) in which Kansas City played three draft selections in the same game.

Last Friday, Hallisey made his first career start to giving SKC two draft picks in the starting lineup, along with Amadou Dia, for the first time since 2009. Hallisey recorded his first professional assist in the 64th minute, back-heeling a ball into the path of Zusi for a low strike from the right side of the box.

To date, 14 of 20 MLS teams have called upon a total of 21 draft picks from the Class of 2015 for league minutes this season. However, Sporting KC is the only club to play three of them at any point—let alone in a single match—thus far in 2015.

NEMETH UP FOR MLS PLAYER OF THE MONTH Forward Krisztian Nemeth is one of five finalists for MLS’s Etihad Airways Player of the Month in May. The 26-year-old scored three goals and added two assists as Sporting KC went unbeaten in five matches, highlighted by three straight home victories and a pair of road results at each conference’s top team.

Nemeth, acquired in December from Dutch club Roda JC Kerkrade, leads SKC with six goals in 2015, fourth most in MLS. In addition, Nemeth (6 goals, 2 assists, 14 points) is second among all MLS newcomers in points this season alongside the league’s two top paid players: Toronto FC’s Sebastian Giovinco (5 goals, 6 assists, 16 points) Orlando City’s Kaka (6 goals, 2 assists, 14 points). Nemeth has six goals on all six of his shots on target as an MLS player, a feat only seen once before in league history when Claudio Suarez converted his first seven shots on goal for Chivas USA from 2006-2007.

ZUSI JOINS ELITE 25 GOALS/50 ASSISTS CLUB Making his 150th career start for Sporting KC in all competitions last Friday, Graham Zusi enjoyed a breakout performance in which he turned provider to Krisztian Nemeth in the 19th minute and Kevin Ellis in the 57th minute before netting his first goal of 2015 shortly after the hour mark to complete the rout. In doing so, he became just the third player in Kansas City history to record 25 goals and 50 assists for the club in all competitions, joining Preki (81 goals and 104 assists in 254 games) and Chris Klein (43 goals and 54 assists in 235 games).

TOUGH TO BEAT Peter Vermes’ side has proven hard to beat during the first three months of the season. The team has claimed seven points from games when conceding first (2-2-1 record), second most in MLS. Furthermore, the club’s two losses through 13 games are their fewest to start a season since their historic 2000 campaign (10-1-2) in which Kansas City won MLS Cup and the Supporters’ Shield.

DAUNTING STRETCH OF MATCHES CONTINUES Sporting KC continues a daunting five-game stretch against opponents who qualified for the 2014 postseason. SKC defeated 2014 MLS Cup finalist New England Revolution 4-2 on May 20 before holding Supporters’ Shield holders Sounders FC to a 0-0 draw just three days later in Seattle. The team returned home last Friday to thrash third-place FC Dallas 4-0, and will now lock horns again with Seattle at Sporting Park. Following their first bye week of the season, SKC will visit Rio Tinto Stadium on June 21, where Real Salt Lake has lost just twice since the start of 2014.

SPORTING KC TO HOST ST. LOUIS FC IN OPEN CUP FOURTH ROUND Sporting KC will host USL expansion side St. Louis FC at 7:30 p.m. CT on June 16 at Sporting Park in the fourth round of the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. St. Louis FC advanced past Minnesota United FC (NASL) last Wednesday in a penalty kick shootout (3-1) after a 1-1 draw through extra time in Fenton, Missouri. SKC is a two-time champion of the nation’s oldest team knockout competition, having won the championship in 2004 and 2012.

Sporting KC Game Notes | June 6, 2015 vs. Seattle Sounders FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES (CONTINUED) SPORTING KC A SET PIECE THREAT Through the first 13 weeks of the season, Sporting KC has been one of the league’s most dangerous teams on set pieces. In addition to scoring seven goals directly off set pieces, the team has accumulated numerous statistics that illustrate their set piece prowess.

• SKC leads MLS with 37 chances created from set plays • SKC leads MLS with eight assists from set plays • SKC leads MLS with eight headed goals, three more than any other team

SPORTING KC TRIO NAMED TO MLSSOCCER.COM TEAM OF THE WEEK Three SKC players marked their name on last Friday’s 4-0 win over FC Dallas.

Krisztian Nemeth, Kevin Ellis and Graham Zusi—all scorers and providers of goals in yet another offensive explosion at Sporting Park—received MLS Team of the Week recognition as Peter Vermes’ side extended their unbeaten run to six games.

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

MELIA STEPS UP Longtime backup goalkeeper Tim Melia has started the last five matches for Sporting KC and helped the team to an unbeaten 3-0-2 record in May. Melia strong start with the club includes three clean sheets and a 0.60 goals against average, best in MLS among keepers with at least five starts. He is one game shy of becoming the first keeper in Kansas City history to go unbeaten in his first six MLS starts, currently holding a share of the team record with SKCTV color commentator Andy Gruenebaum. The sixth-year 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.

Two weeks ago in Seattle, he notched his second clean sheet as Sporting KC held Sounders FC to their first scoreless match at CenturyLink Field this season.

PALMER-BROWN AT FIFA U-20 WORLD CUP Sporting KC defender Erik Palmer-Brown is with the United States Under-20 Men’s National Team for the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup, to be held through June 20 in New Zealand. Palmer-Brown was an unused substitute in each of the Americans’ first two group stage matches, a 2-1 win over Myanmar last Saturday and a 4-0 win over New Zealand on Tuesday. The pair of victories clinched the Yanks’ advancement to the Round of 16.

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).

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 made a second league appearance three days later in a 0-0 draw at Seattle Sounders FC. Abdul-Salaam played three seasons at the University of Akron (2012-2014), recording three goals and 12 assists in 54 college games. The right back helped Akron win MAC regular season titles in each of his three college seasons. He enjoyed a breakout junior campaign in 2013 with five assists in 19 starts before earning All-MAC First Team honors as a senior in 2014, notching two goals and a team-high six assists while starting all 21 games for the Zips.

Fifth-year MLS defender Jalil Anibaba joined Sporting KC ahead of the 2015 season. He made 112 regular season appearances over four years with the Chicago Fire (2011-2013) and Seattle Sounders FC (2014), recording four goals and six assists. He made his Sporting KC debut on March 21 and scored his first goal for the club in second half stoppage time of a 3-2 win over Philadelphia on April 5.

His first Sporting KC assist was a game-winner to Paulo Nagamura on May 3.

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.

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. 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 selected rookie midfielder James Ansu Rogers with the 53rd overall pick in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft. The third round draft selection was a member of the United States Under-20 Men’s National Team in 2012 after first representing the U.S. at the under-15 level in 2007.

A native of Sierra Leone, Ansu Rogers moved to the U.S. at age 11 and competed for the Colorado Rapids and Real Salt Lake academies prior to being recruited to the University of New Mexico. He contributed 18 goals and 21 assists in 80 games for the Lobos over a four-year collegiate career.

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.

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.

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’s most experienced MLS player with 243 league appearances (including playoffs), Paulo Nagamura is in his fourth season with the club. Since arriving ahead of the 2012 campaign, he has recorded five goals and six assists in 86 games (76 starts) across all competitions. A veteran presence in the midfield, he converted penalty kicks in shootouts following the 2012 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final and 2013 MLS 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 in December and made his league debut with a start on March 8 at Sporting Park. He scored his first MLS goal in the 94th minute of a 3-2 win over Philadelphia on April 5, Sporting KC’s latest game-winning goal in Sporting Park history. He leads the team with six goals in 2015, having scored his first brace in a 4-2 win over New England on May 20.

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 starred for the Hungary under-17 and under-19 youth national teams before leading his country to a third place finish at the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup with three goals in the tournament. He earned his first of 15 caps for Hungary’s senior team in 2010 and played five games in 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying.

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.

A nine-year MLS veteran, Peterson has 15 goals and 15 assists in 209 regular season appearances over the course of his professional career. Now in his fourth season with Sporting KC, he has contributed eight goals and seven assists in 90 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 209 regular season appearances are second most on the team, behind only Paulo Nagamura (228).

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.

Drafted in 2010 by the New England Revolution, he joined Sporting KC in 2011 and has started 145 of his 147 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.

Since the beginning of 2011, Sinovic is third in MLS with 48 clean sheet contributions (including playoffs) and ranks fifth with 66 MLS games won. He 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 (2012, 2013, 2014), 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 last 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.

Zusi signed a long-term Designated Player contract with the team in July 2014.

Sporting KC is 18-0-2 all-time when he scores an MLS goal, and he is second in MLS with 374 chances created and first with 365 successful crosses/corners since 2011 (including playoffs). His 53 career assists in all competitions are third most in club history, and his 23 MLS goals rank 10th all-time for the club.

Zusi has earned 28 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 alongside teammate Matt Besler, 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.

Sporting KC Coach Bios | June 6, 2015 vs. 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 .555 regular season winning percentage (81-60-50) 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 81 regular season wins are tied for 10th most in MLS history. He recorded his 100th coaching win for Sporting KC in all competitions with a 4-0 result over FC Dallas on May 29, 2015, at Sporting Park.

Vermes oversees all soccer operations for Sporting KC, including the active roster and the Sporting KC Juniors program. Vermes, an original member of Major League Soccer, retired from the League in 2002, closing out his playing career in Kansas City after stints with the New York/New Jersey MetroStars and Colorado Rapids.

He started his professional career with the New York/New Jersey MetroStars, where he played in 39 games over two seasons. After spending one season with the Lehigh Valley Steam (USL-1), Zavagnin came to Kansas City in 2000. He played 237 games (228 starts) and logged 20,516 minutes for Kansas City, setting team records in both categories. He scored eight goals and added 22 assists in his nine seasons in Kansas City blue. Zavagnin was named Team Defender of the Year in 2001.

Following a standout high school career in which he was named New Jersey Player of the Year, Vermes was a star forward and All-American at Rutgers University. After college, Vermes represented the United States in the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea, and was named 1988 Chevrolet U.S. Male Soccer Athlete of the Year for his efforts.

On top of his club success in Kansas City, Zavagnin also appeared 21 times for the United States National Team. He recorded one assist for the Red, White and Blue.

The U.S. team went 15-2-4 when Zavagnin appeared. Zavagnin married his wife Mirriam prior to the 2009 season, when he became an assistant coach at the club.

Vermes was an integral part of a young U.S. team at the 1990 World Cup in Italy, where he nearly scored a sensational goal against the host Azzurri. It was the first time the U.S. had qualified for the World Cup in 40 years and set the stage for the progress of the U.S. National Team. In 1989 and 1990, Vermes became the first American to play in the Hungarian and Dutch First Divisions, playing for Raba ETO and FC Volendam, respectively. He later spent five years with Figueras of the Spanish Second Division.

Assistant Coach | Zoran Savic Assistant Coach Zoran Savic joined Sporting Kansas City late in the 2009 season after a 30-year career at all levels of the game in the United States. A native of Gornji Milanovac, Yugoslavia, Savic began his journey through American soccer with the Buffalo Stallions of the Major Indoor Soccer League in 1980. Savic would go on to star for several MISL teams, with his most prosperous period coming with the Kansas City Comets, with whom he scored 70 goals in just over 100 appearances from 1982-1984.

For MLS’s inaugural season in 1996, Vermes served as captain of the New York/New Jersey MetroStars. In 1997, he was traded to the Colorado Rapids for current Sporting KC Assistant Coach Kerry Zavagnin and played in Denver through the 1999 season, leading the Rapids to the 1997 MLS Cup Final.

After retiring as a player in 1991, Savic turned his attention to coaching in the indoor game. Savic led the Kansas City Attack from 1992-1996, winning Coach of the Year honors for the 1994-1995 season while also serving as the team’s General Manager. Savic later coached the Kansas City Comets from 2000-2005.

Vermes joined Kansas City in 2000 for what would be the most successful seasons of his MLS career. During his first year in Kansas City, he anchored one of the best defenses in league history and won MLS Defender of the Year honors in helping lead the Wizards to the 2000 MLS Cup Championship. He retired in 2002 after appearing in 184 MLS matches and playing more than 16,000 minutes. He was nominated on the players’ ballot for the National Soccer Hall of Fame from 2007-2012. In 2013, Vermes was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame.

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.

SER IES N OTES

Sounders FC is 7-1-2 all-time against Sporting, including a 4-0-0 record at Sporting Park. SKC delivered Sounders FC the franchise’s first-ever MLS loss in 2009, but has yet to find much success since, going winless over the next nine matches in the series (7-0-2). In each of the past two seasons, Seattle has won 1-0 on a goal in stoppage time.

The all-time series between Seattle and Sporting Kansas City has historically been low-scoring and close. On six occasions, Seattle has scored in second-half stoppage time, and all 10 meetings have been decided by one goal or fewer. Nine of the 10 meetings have had three combined goals or fewer.

The two sides faced off in the 2012 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final, with SKC defeating Seattle via penalty kicks following a 1-1 draw.

A B OU T SPOR TIN G

Sporting Kansas City currently ranks tied for third in the Western Conference (5-2-6, 21 points) and is unbeaten in seven home matches this season (4-0-3).

The club ranks first in MLS with 21 goals and 26 assists, while its plus-six goal differential ranks second to Seattle.

One of 10 charter clubs of MLS, the organization has competed in the league since 1996, although it changed its name from Kansas City Wizards in 2010. The club won MLS Cup in 2000 and 2013.

SK C N OTA B LES

The Sporting attack this season has been led by midfielder Benny Feilhaber, who is tied for first in MLS with seven assists to go along with four goals. Forward Krisztian Nemeth leads the team with six goals, while forward Dom Dwyer has also added four goals and a team-high 36 shots.

The SKC roster also includes a pair of United States Men’s National Team veterans in defender Matt Besler and midfielder Graham Zusi. Besler has 12 appearances and two assists at centerback this season, while Zusi has contributed one goal and four assists.

SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC vS. SPORTING KANSAS CITY | June 6, 2015 - 5:30 P.M. PT SOU N D ER S FC WEEK LY N OTES

TOP OF TH E TA B LE

H OM E, SWEET H OM E

Sounders FC is back on top of the MLS table following a pair of wins last week over Colorado and New York. Seattle holds a three-point lead over second-place Vancouver Whitecaps FC in the Western Conference, with one game in hand. Overall, Sounders FC sits atop the Supporters’ Shield table with one-point lead over Eastern Conference leader D.C. United.

Sunday’ win against the New York Red Bulls marked the end of a successful stretch of three home matches in nine days for Sounders FC. The homestand went without a loss for the Rave Green, as the top-ranked club in MLS played to two wins and one draw in front of the Sounders’ faithful.

Seattle has continued its solid offensive production, with its 20 team goals tied for second in the league. Defensively, the club leads MLS with a 0.77 goals against average and seven shutouts.

Since 2009, Sounders FC is 19-3-5 during three-game homestands at CenturyLink Field (including this past week’s results). Additionally, Seattle is 18-3-8 in stretches with three league matches in nine days or fewer.

The Rave Green are now 6-1-1 in their last eight games, including four clean-sheets, and lead MLS with eight wins, 26 points and 2.00 points per match. The club’s plus-10 differential is also first in MLS.

H E’S A K EEPER

Although New York ended his 338-minute scoreless streak with a goal in the 36th minute on Sunday, goalkeeper Stefan Frei’s mark is the longest such streak in MLS this season. Holding the top position in various statistical categories, Frei has proven himself to be among the elite goalkeepers in the league.

He paces all qualifying keepers in wins (eight), shutouts (seven), saves (52), save percentage (83.9%), win percentage (62%) and goals against average (0.77).

SOU N D ER S FC SIGN S TH OM Á S

Seattle Sounders FC announced Tuesday that it has signed Brazilian midfielder Thomás Jaguaribe Bedinelli. Known simply as Thomás, the midfielder brings four years of professional experience in Brazil to Seattle.

Thomás, 22, has made 61 career appearances from 2011-2015 in Brazil's professional leagues. He also made 12 appearances in Italy’s Serie B after being loaned to Siena for the 2013-14 campaign.

Evans was called into the United States Men’s National Team for European friendlies against the Netherlands and Germany. The Seattle captain has 18 career appearances and one goal for the Stars and Stripes.

Alonso was given a one-game suspension for a foul in the 83rd minute against New York on Sunday. Despite not being given a card, Alonso’s sanction was handed down by the MLS Disciplinary Committee.

Alongside defenders Zach Scott and Leo Gonzalez, Alonso and Evans are the only remaining Sounders to have been with the club since its inaugural 2009 season. Alonso and Evans rank first and second, respectively, in career appearances for the club.

TH R OWB A C K : 0 3 /1 9 /2 0 0 9

Although Nate Jaqua’s game-winning goal came earlier than what was to become the norm in the series, Sounders FC beat Sporting KC for the first time on October 17, 2009.

Seattle struck first on an unassisted goal by Tyrone Marshall, but Sporting KC took the lead on two quick goals to open the second half. Roger Levesque’s equalizer in the 69th minute game gave Jaqua the opportunity to tally the winner in the 76th minute for the 3-2 win.

Not only was this the first win against Sporting and the first match in Kansas City, it established the first result of nine straight unbeaten fixtures (7-0-2) for Seattle in the series. Furthermore, it marks the only time the Sounders have scored more than two goals in the traditionally low-scoring matchups.

H EA D C OA C H SIGI SC H M ID

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 (215) and games coached (465).

Overall, Schmid’s record in MLS is 215-143-107. His combined postseason win total (24) is the second-highest in MLS history.
