Sporting KC Game Notes | July 6, 2017 vs. Philadelphia Union | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #SKCvPHI: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#SKCvPHI: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City and the Philadelphia Union will face off on Thursday night, with both sides looking to take the lead in the all-time series that currently stands at 5-5-4 for each team.

Sporting KC faced the Union once in 2016, succumbing to a controversial 2-0 defeat on Aug. 27 after goals from Roland Alberg and Tranquillo Barnetta in a game that saw Jimmy Medranda and Roger Espinoza sent off - though Espinoza’s red card was later rescinded by the MLS Disciplinary Committee.

The two sides haven’t met at Children’s Mercy Park since April 5, 2015 when Sporting KC claimed a wild encounter 3-2. After falling behind to an early own goal by Jacob Peterson, Sporting KC hit right back through Dom Dwyer to pull the side level.

However, the Union retook the lead in the 19th minute when Fernando Aristeguieta headed into the corner. The score remained that way until second-half stoppage time when first, Jalil Anibaba knocked the ball home to make the score 2-2 before Krisztian Nemeth notched a dramatic 94th-minute winner.

Sporting KC is 3-2-2 all-time at home against Philadelphia, but 1-2-1 in the last four meetings at Children’s Mercy Park - as that 3-2 victory snapped a three-game winless streak at home against the Union. Sporting KC has also won just one of the last five matches against the Union, going 1-3-1 since May 14, 2014.

Sporting KC Game Notes | July 6, 2017 vs. Philadelphia Union | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes HOME STREAK CONTINUES

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES Salloi became the seventh youngest player to score a goal for Sporting KC at the age of 20 years and 347 days. The Hungarian is also the second Sporting KC Homegrown player to find the net, joining defender Kevin Ellis. Ellis has scored five goals in MLS play since signing for the club as a Homegrown player in 2011. His first came in a 4-0 victory over FC Dallas on May 29, 2015 at Children’s Mercy Park.

Sporting Kansas City extended the club’s franchise record home unbeaten streak to 18 games when the side battled back to draw 1-1 with the Portland Timbers on Saturday night at Children’s Mercy Park. After leading scorer Gerso left the game through injury, Diego Valeri gave Portland the lead in the first half. Sporting KC fought back with Homegrown forward Daniel Salloi notching his first career MLS goal before Tim Melia denied Valeri’s penalty attempt late on.

MELIA STOPS YET ANOTHER PENALTY

Sporting Kansas City goalkeeper Tim Melia continues to make headlines as he recorded his league-leading third penalty save of the season in Saturday’s 1-1 draw with the Portland Timbers at Children’s Mercy Park. With the game knotted at 1-1 in the 74th minute, Melia was adjudged to have brought down Timbers forward Fanendo Adi and Diego Valeri - who had already scored earlier in the game - stepped up to take the penalty kick. Melia stood firm and blocked Valeri’s attempt straight down the middle and preserved a point for his side.

Sporting KC is unbeaten across both MLS and Open Cup games at Children’s Mercy Park in 2017, going 7-0-3. The side is 13-0-5 in MLS action since a 1-0 defeat to D.C. United on May 27, 2016. It’s the longest active home unbeaten streak in MLS as Sporting KC are one of just four remaining teams to boast an unbeaten home record in the 2017 regular season, alongside the Houston Dynamo, Toronto FC and the Chicago Fire.

Melia had previously made stops on penalties from Marcelo Sarvas in the 0-0 draw with D.C. United on March 4 at RFK Stadium and Fredy Montero in the 2-0 defeat to Vancouver Whitecaps FC on May 20 at BC Place. Melia has now preserved two points for his team with penalty saves against D.C. and Portland. No other goalkeeper has saved as many penalties this season, with Real Salt Lake’s Nick Rimando sitting on two penalty saves.

Despite riding an 18-game home unbeaten streak in MLS play, Sporting KC has now dropped points in each of their last two contests at Children’s Mercy Park, first conceding late against the Montreal Impact on June 10 to tie 1-1 before coming back from a one-goal deficit against Portland on Saturday.

Sandwiched between those two games was a U.S. Open Cup Fourth Round showdown with Minnesota United FC, which Sporting KC claimed 4-0 behind goals from Ike Opara, Gerso, Dom Dwyer and Salloi. Sporting KC now has another home Open Cup match coming up, as the squad plays host to FC Dallas in the Quarterfinals on July 11.

Melia’s three penalty saves this MLS regular season is a new club record, and he’s just one back of the league record set by Nick Rimando in 2014. Prior to the 2017 season, Melia had saved just one of seven penalties attempted on his goal - denying Bradley Wright-Phillips in a 2-0 road win over the New York Red Bulls at Red Bull Arena on April 9, 2016.

Sporting KC are in the midst of a three-game homestand heading into the CONCACAF Gold Cup break, drawing with Portland on Saturday and hosting the Philadelphia Union on Thursday, July 6 in the MLS regular season before taking on FC Dallas in a U.S. Open Cup Quarterfinal at Children’s Mercy Park on July 11.

The 31-year-old has had a phenomenal season, ranking first among MLS goalkeepers to play at least two games in shutouts (9), save percentage (81.94) and penalty saves (3), while he’s second in goals against average (0.68), tied for third in wins (8) and fourth in saves (59).

TRADE UNION

Sporting Kansas City and the Philadelphia Union have traded blows throughout the clubs’ brief history, with the two teams splitting the all-time series 5-5-4, though Sporting KC holds a 6-5-5 edge in all competitions. However, Sporting KC has just one win in the last six games since 2014, coming in a dramatic home win in April 2015.

TRIO REPRESENT U.S. NATIONAL TEAM

Sporting Kansas City continues to be without the services of defenders Matt Besler and Graham Zusi along with forward Dom Dwyer after all three were called in to the U.S. Men’s National Team roster for the upcoming CONCACAF Gold Cup. Besler and Zusi have been staples of the U.S. National Team in recent years, while Dwyer received his first call-up after gaining his citizenship in March.

The two sides met once in 2016, with Philadelphia claiming a 2-0 victory in controversial circumstances at Talen Energy Stadium in Chester, Pennsylvania. Sporting KC’s Jimmy Medranda was sent off for two yellow cards early in the second half before Roland Alberg took advantage and gave the hosts the lead. Late on, Roger Espinoza was also ejected in a dubious decision by referee Juan Guzman in the 87th minute as Tranquillo Barnetta sealed the game in stoppage time. Espinoza’s red card was rescinded by the MLS Disciplinary Committee after the game.

The trio all started the USMNT’s tune-up game against Ghana on Saturday, with Besler and Zusi playing the full 90 minutes along the side’s backline, while Dwyer lasted 76 minutes before being replaced by Jordan Morris.

Sporting KC hasn’t hosted the Union at Children’s Mercy Park since a wild affair on April 5, 2015. Both Sporting KC and Philadelphia traded early goals after Jacob Peterson put through his own net before Dom Dwyer responded moments later. Fernando Aristeguieta headed the visitors into the lead in 19th minute and the score would remain that way until second-half stoppage time. In the 91st minute, Jalil Anibaba pulled Sporting KC level before substitute Kirsztian Nemeth notched the winner three minutes later.

Dwyer marked his international debut with a goal just 19 minutes into the contest, as he volleyed home an emphatic finish to give the U.S. the lead after great play from Jorge Villafana. Dwyer became the 48th U.S. player to score on his debut and the first to score in the first 20 minutes of his international career since Eddie Robinson in 2008. The U.S. ran out 2-1 winners after Kellyn Acosta doubled the Americans’ lead before Asamoah Gyan pulled one back for Ghana with a stunning free kick.

The most notable clash between the two sides came in September 2015 when Sporting KC claimed their third Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup trophy in a dramatic penalty shootout against the Union at Talen Energy Stadium. Sebastien Le Toux gave the Union the lead in the 23rd minute before Nemeth equalized in the 63rd. Extra time failed to produce a winner before Sporting KC won a nervy final on penalties 7-6 with Jordi Quintilla netting the game-winning spot kick.

Besler, Zusi and Dwyer will now shift their attention firmly on Panama in their CONCACAF Gold Cup opener on July 8. The U.S., placed in Group B, will play further group games against Martinique (July 12) and Nicaragua (July 15).

WELCOME TO KANSAS CITY, CRISTIAN LOBATO

Last Thursday, Sporting Kansas City announced that the club had signed Spanish winger Cristian Lobato from Gimnastic de Tarragona in the Spanish Second Division.

The 28-year-old signed an MLS contract through 2018 with an option for 2019 and will be eligible to play for Sporting KC once the Secondary Transfer Window opens on July 10.

SALLOI NETS FIRST MLS GOAL

In Saturday’s 1-1 draw with the Portland Timbers at Children’s Mercy Park, Sporting KC Homegrown forward Daniel Salloi scored his first career goal in MLS play. The 20-yearold had previously netted in the 4-0 U.S. Open Cup victory over Minnesota United FC on June 14.

Lobato has made more than 150 professional appearances since 2008, including a two-year stint at FC Barcelona B where he was teammates with current Sporting KC midfielder Ilie from 2011-2013. The midfielder spent four years at FC Barcelona’s famed La Masia academy before ending his youth career at Spanish outfit CE L’Hospitalet.

Salloi entered the game in the 35th minute, replacing the injured Gerso who suffered a dislocated shoulder after an awkward fall involving Portland’s Alvas Powell. The 55-minute outing provided Salloi with the highest amount of minutes he’s played in a single MLS game, with his previous season high in minutes standing at 18 - coming in the previous MLS game against the LA Galaxy.

Lobato earned his senior team debut for Hospitalet in 2008 and played over 80 league matches, helping the club win a Tercera Division title in 2009-10 and promotion to the Segunda Division B. He then joined Barcelona B, scoring eight goals in 57 games before making his top-flight debut for CA Osasuna in 2014. He had a brief stop at Greek side Asteras Tripoli before a return to Spain saw Lobato join Gimnastic, where he played 49 matches as Gimnastic nearly earned promotion to La Liga in 2015-16.

In the 60th minute, Roger Espinoza picked out Salloi with a ball over the top, and the Sporting KC Academy product showed immense poise to control the ball before firing above Jake Gleeson in the Portland goal to make the score 1-1 which is how the game would finish.

Sporting Kansas City also announced that the club has waived right back Igor Juliao after the 22-year-old Brazilian made one appearance - starting in the 2-0 defeat to Minnesota United FC on May 7 - while on loan from parent club Fluminense.

Sporting KC Game Notes | July 6, 2017 vs. Philadelphia Union | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES (CONTINUED)

ACADEMY TO FACE RSL IN PLAYOFFS AT CMP ON THURSDAY

DWYER CLOSING IN ON PREKI

The Sporting Kansas City Academy U-16s will host the Real Salt Lake AZ U-16s in the 2017 U.S. Soccer Development Academy quarterfinals on this Thursday at Children’s Mercy Park. The single-elimination showdown will kick off at 3 p.m. CT, taking place prior to Sporting Kansas City’s home game against the Philadelphia Union at 7:30 p.m. The occasion marks the first time a Sporting KC Academy team has played a competitive match inside Children’s Mercy Park.

After yet another season of rampant goalscoring, forward Dom Dwyer is now within touching distance of Sporting KC legend Preki for the most goals in both MLS and in all competitions.

Dwyer’s total currently stands at 67 in all competitions, including 57 in the regular season.

Dwyer sits just 14 MLS goals and 14 strikes in all competitions shy of Preki’s all-time records of 71 and 81, respectively.

The U-16s punched their ticket to the quarterfinals for the first time after finishing atop Group E at the Development Academy Playoffs in Westfield, Indiana. Sporting KC claimed victories on Thursday, June 22 with a 4-1 win over Everton FC Westchester and Saturday, June 24 3-1 over Pateadores before a 2-2 draw on Monday, June 26 secured first place and the quarterfinal berth that came with it.

The 26-year-old has amassed 55 goals since the start of the 2014 season. Only Bradley Wright-Phillips has scored more MLS goals in that time period than Dwyer, and took home the MLS Golden Boot titles in 2014 and 2016.

Another factor that comes into play is Dwyer’s longevity. The Londoner is the only Sporting KC player to appear in at least 36 games in all competitions over the last three seasons.

A strong regular season saw the Sporting KC U-16s earn second place in the Frontier Division of the Development Academy’s Central Conference, posting a record of 17-6-3.

The team features a pair of promising U.S. youth internationals in 15-year-old Gianluca Busio and 16-year-old Cameron Duke - the brother of Swope Park Rangers captain Christian Duke - while Abdu Kikhia leads the side with 12 goals.

Player Preki Dwyer Arnaud Wolff Klein

Based in Casa Grande, Arizona, the Real Salt Lake AZ U-16s went 22-8-6 in the regular season to finish runners-up in the Southwest Division. The winner of next Thursday’s game will advance to the U.S. Soccer Development Academy Championships at the U.S. Soccer National Training Center in Carson, California. Semifinal matchups will kick off on Friday, July 14, with third-place and championship matches set for Sunday, July 16. The U-16s are looking to become the first Sporting KC Academy club to advance to the Development Academy Championships.

Sporting Kansas City midfielder Benny Feilhaber is tied for third on the team with two goals and his three assists place him in a tie for first on the squad. Feilhaber hit 50 regular-season assists on Wednesday, May 17 against Seattle Sounders FC when he helped set up Gerso’s third and final goal of the game - nine for the New England Revolution and 41 for Sporting KC. On top of his exploits on the scoresheet, Feilhaber is third in MLS with 45 chances created - trailing his childhood friend and New York Red Bulls midfielder Sacha Kljestan’s 52 - and is second with 31 chances created from open play, one behind NYCFC’s David Villa.

As a club, Sporting KC is tied for the lead in Major League Soccer with 200 chances created - the same as the Portland Timbers - and leads MLS in chances created from open play with 176. Sporting KC have produced the vast majority of their chances from open play, with Ike Opara’s headed goal off Graham Zusi’s corner kick in the U.S. Open Cup Fourth Round victory over Minnesota on June 14 the first goal the side has designed off a set piece in 2017.

BESLER AND SINOVIC RENEW PARTNERSHIP

VERMES VERBATIM

After helping Sporting KC record nine shutouts in the opening 18 games on the left side of the defense to open the 2017 MLS season, center back Matt Besler and left back Seth Sinovic have now posted 47 total shutouts in just 122 games where both have started in the regular season. Besler and Sinovic have started 17 of the club’s 19 regular-season games together this season, posting all nine shutouts.

Thoughts on 1-1 draw with the Portland Timbers…

“They were the better team in the first half. I think we were just sluggish, I don’t know if it was (because of) Wednesday’s match or not. Obviously we spent energy there but we just weren’t sharp enough there in the first half. We had to change our mentality in the second half and I actually thought we were a better team there in the second half. We moved the ball a little bit, we had good movement off the ball, that’s where Daniel’s goal comes from. We had very good movement and we were just better in possession in the second half. If we were a little more patient, I think, we probably could have had a game winner. But unfortunately we stayed tied.

Since Sinovic made his first appearance for the team on May 28, 2011 after being waived by the New England Revolution earlier in the year, Sporting KC leads all of MLS with 77 shutouts - 14 more than the LA Galaxy in second. Besler and Sinovic have started 122 of the 215 games since the trade, posting 47 of the club’s 77 shutouts alongside one another.

On play of Daniel Salloi…

“He knows, and we’ve been talking about this, his progression has been very good.

There’s always aspects that a player needs to continue to get better at, but if there’s one thing that I’ve said about him, and I’ll keep repeating it, is that anytime he’s in or around the box, he’s deadly. He has a good goalscorer’s mentality, he wants to score. But not at the detriment to the team. Not where he’s selfish at times but he picks and chooses the right moments. But the movement that he had off the ball for that goal was world class. It was an excellent finish.”

Individually, Besler leads the league in shutouts since Sinovic joined the club with 63, while Sinovic is second with 56. Prior to the 1-1 draw with Montreal on Saturday, June 10 where Belser was with the U.S. National Team in Mexico, Besler and Sinovic had started each of Sporting KC’s previous 17 regular-season games, conceding just 10 goals - a rate of 0.59 per game.

If absence of USMNT members had effect on play style...

“Not at all. I think physically in the first half, and maybe mentally, we were a little bit tired.

I think a lot had to do with our mentality. But the mentality changed in the second half and I think we were a little bit of a different team there.”

Sporting KC Game Notes | July 6, 2017 vs. Philadelphia Union | 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 is in his ninth season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2017. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 138 coaching victories in all competitions are the most club history. During his tenure, he has won three major trophies – the 2012 and 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups and the 2013 MLS Cup championship – and finished atop the Eastern Conference regular-season standings in 2011 and 2012. He is the first coach in club history to lead Sporting KC to six 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 111 regular-season wins top the club’s all-time chart and rank eighth most in MLS history. He passed his former coach Bob Gansler as the winningest manager in team history with a 3-1 win over Real Salt Lake on Aug. 12, 2015, his 109th victory in all competitions. He has coached 315 total games during his Kansas City coaching career, most in club 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, the Swope Park Rangers (USL) and the Sporting KC Academy. Vermes entered MLS ahead of its inaugural season in 1996 and 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.

On top of his club success in Kansas City, Zavagnin also appeared 21 times for the United States Men’s National Team. He recorded one assist for the U.S., who went 15-2-4 when Zavagnin featured. He married his wife Mirriam prior to the 2009 season, when he became an assistant coach at the club.

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.

Assistant Coach | Zoran Savic

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 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 209 MLS matches (including playoffs) and playing more than 18,000 minutes. In 2013, Vermes was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame.

Year

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.

QUOTEBOOK Philadelphia Union Head Coach Jim Curtin On Sunday's win over New England...

"Overall, a good team performance from the group. Obviously, early goals can sometimes change games, the early penalty made us play a first half that was maybe a little I thought tentative in terms of our pressure to the ball, something that, if we don't have, we're not a strong team and I felt that the first half we allowed New England too much time and space in our home building. We talked about it at halftime, about closing guys, in terms of coming out of that jog, it's almost as if we were jogging side-to-side, protecting a one goal lead, which is a dangerous ask in this league.

MLS Regular Season: 6-7-4 Points: 22 Eastern Conference: 8th Home: 5-3-2 Away: 1-4-2 Goals For: 24 Goals Against: 20 +/-: +4

BEDOYA, BLAKE RECEIVE INTERNATIONAL CALL-UPS AHEAD OF 2017 CONCACAF GOLD CUP The Union previously announced that both midfielder Alejandro Bedoya (USA) and goalkeeper Andre Blake (Jamaica) have been called up by their respective federations ahead of the 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup ... Bedoya and the United States are in Group B of the competition, set to play Panama (July 8, Nashville), Martinique (July 12, Tampa) and Nicaragua (July 15, Cleveland) in the Group Stage ... meanwhile, Blake and Jamaica were drawn into Group C of the tournament ... the Reggae Boyz are slated to face Curacao (July 9, San Diego), Mexico (July 13, Denver) and El Salvador (July 16, San Antonio) throughout the Group Stage.

"I thought that the second half, we talked about starting the first 15 minutes and getting a second goal. The guys responded in a big way in that regard. I thought that Derrick Jones picked up his intensity and that changed our group. You could go through each guy, Giliano Wijnaldum had a great game. Gooch [Oguchi Onyewu] had one of his best games. Overall, I could go through each guy, the energy, the fitness that they showed I think was the difference. I think we wore New England down, and, again, it's a credit to our sports performance department, the work that these guys do in the two-a-days, I think that that pushed them on, and again, you can talk about the heat, you can talk about different things, but we still had guys full sprinting at the end of the 90 minutes, still pressuring in the end of a 3-0 game.

"Overall happy with the performance, there are still a lot of things we can clean up and work on, but clean sheets are starting to add up now. Andre [Blake] is doing a great job. The team defending has been impressive, and now we're at the midway point, but we get no rest because we have to turn around and play a good Kansas City team on Thursday."
