SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs D.C. UNITED SPORTING PARK, Kansas City, Kan. Aug. 23, 2014 (WEEK 24, MLS Game #227)

7:30 p.m. CT (KMCI-38)

It’s a clash of the top two teams in the Eastern Conference when Sporting Kansas City entertain D.C. United on Saturday evening at Sporting Park. SKC leads the conference and is tied atop the MLS overall table after returning to their recent form with a 4-1 home win against Toronto FC last weekend. United put the brakes on a two-game losing slide with authority, rolling to a 4-2 win against the Colorado Rapids at RFK Stadium last weekend.

United vs. Sporting Kansas City, 8 p.m. ET 2014 (MLS) 5/31: DC 1, KC 0 (Espindola 28)  The teams are meeting for the second time this season. Fabian Espíndola scored the game’s only goal in the first half to lead United to victory May 31 at RFK Stadium.  The first meeting victory snapped a seven-game undefeated streak for SKC in the series. The last D.C. victory had come May 5, 2010 at RFK Stadium.  United have not won in Kansas City since 2007. In the nine visits since, Sporting have won six games with three ties; that includes two wins and two draws in four meetings all-time at CommunityAmerica Ballpark, and victories in all four meetings at Sporting Park.  Coaches record: Peter Vermes vs. DC: P10 W7 L3 T2 … Ben Olsen vs. KC: P8 W1 L6 T1 LAST MEETING (MLS)  The game's lone goal came in the 28th minute. After a cross skipped through the box, Fabian Espindola collected the ball with his back to goal on the right and from 25 yards out and struck an apparent cross back toward the far post, which Sporting goalkeeper Eric Kronberg misjudged to allow the curling ball to find its way into the upper corner.  United goalkeeper Bill Hamid was credited with five saves in recording the clean sheet. United finished the game a man down after Alex Caskey was sent off in stoppage time.  D.C. UNITED (4-4-2): Bill Hamid - Chris Korb (Sean Franklin 34), Jeff Parke, Bobby Boswell, Cristian Fernandez - Nick DeLeon (Alex Caskey 86; ejected 89), Perry Kitchen, Davy Arnaud, Chris Rolfe - Eddie Johnson (Lewis Neal 68), Fabian Espindola.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Eric Kronberg - Igor Juliao, Kevin Ellis, Aurelien Collin (Erik PalmerBrown 9), Seth Sinovic - Benny Feilhaber - Alex Martinez (Jimmy Medranda 66), Paulo Nagamura - Antonio Dovale, Dom Dwyer, Jacob Peterson (Soony Saad 77).

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City returned to their winning ways in impressive fashion, rolling to a 4-1 win against Toronto FC on Saturday evening at Sporting Park. Sporting lead the Eastern Conference and are tied atop the MLS overall table with 42 points from 24 games.

LAST MATCH  Sporting were ahead by two goals from the penalty spot before the game was barely a half-hour old. First, Jackson brought down Benny Feilhaber with a bad tackle near the end line, and referee Drew Fischer pointed to the spot. Dom Dwyer converted the penalty with a drive into the roof of the net in the 18th minute.

MLS GAME INFORMATION



Dwyer doubled the lead in the 32nd minute, this time after winning the spot kick himself. TFC defender Doneil Henry chopped down Dwyer just outside the six-yard box, and this time Dwyer put his attempt low and inside the right post.  The Reds pulled a goal back early in first-half stoppage time. Dominic Oduro found himself with room at the top right corner of the penalty area and sent a ball to the near post, where Gilberto backheeled it past SKC 'keeper Jon Kempin with a nifty finish.  Sporting iced the game in the 64th minute. Graham Zusi's corner kick popped out of a crowd and fell to Soony Saad outside the area, and he collected the ball and teed it up in one motion, driving it through traffic and past TFC 'keeper Joe Bendik to make it 3-1.  SKC finished the scoring in the 77th minute on yet another set piece. Saad this time deflected a Zusi corner kick on to a sliding C.J. Sapong at the back post, and he slid in to knock it home from close range.  Sporting manager Peter Vermes made four changes to the team that fell 2-0 to Vancouver Whitecaps FC at BC Place. Jon Kempin came in between the posts for the injured Andy Gruenebaum, and Lawrence Olum, Sal Zizzo and Soony Saad came into the team in place of Jorge Claros, Mikey Lopez and Jacob Peterson.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Jon Kempin - Igor Juliao, Aurelien Collin, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic Lawrence Olum - Graham Zusi, Benny Feilhaber (Jorge Claros 73) - Sal Zizzo (C.J. Sapong 67), Dom Dwyer (Claudio Bieler 80), Soony Saad.

TEAM NEWS  Sporting won for the first time following a draw and a loss, after seeing their eight-game undefeated run put to an end in the 2-0 loss at Vancouver the week before.  “This team has the mentality that we aren’t going to put that kind of performance in on a regular basis. That’s just not the mentality of the group,” said SKC head coach Peter Vermes. “When we do what we did against Vancouver, everybody knows that it’s not our team. So we want to get back on it quickly, and that’s what I like about this group – they turn it around quickly and they all have a very good mentality.”  Homegrown goalkeeper Jon Kempin made his first MLS start and came away a winner, a week after stopping a penalty kick after coming on in his league debut following injuries to Andy Gruenebaum and Eric Kronberg.  “A few times he came out on some crosses and I was wondering where he was going. But he’s getting a feel for the game and he did excellent. You look at the different people who have played in our lineup throughout the season, and everyone’s contributed. He’s now a big contribution to that,” said Vermes.  Dom Dwyer scored his first goals since July 12, netting his 15th and 16th of season (both on penalty kicks). It was Dwyer’s fifth two-goal this season; he is now second in the MLS Golden Boot standings, two goals behind New York’s Bradley Wright-Phillips.  “I think I was trying to force it. I was definitely frustrated, and it’s tough when you lose games. That’s when your frustration comes out,” said Dwyer. “But this week I had a bit of time to refocus and get things together.

Hopefully we’re back to the start of more good things.”  Sal Zizzo made his first appearance since July 6, playing 67 minutes in a right-wing role. Soony Saad also returned to the starting lineup after coming off the substitutes’ bench in three consecutive league games, and scored his second goal of the season, his first since June 6.  “We put in a very convincing performance all-around, and the scoreline reflects that. We like to win at home, especially getting a lot of goals to entertain the fans,” Saad said. “There were a lot of good things in this game, especially coming after the loss to Vancouver. We’ve already established that we’re the team to beat in the Eastern Conference, and that’s why we’re on top.”  Sporting scored two goals from corner kicks, and have scored five goals from corners, tied for second in MLS this season (behind Real Salt Lake’s seven). They have scored seven goals from set-piece situations, tied for fourth in MLS (FC Dallas leads with 10).  On Tuesday, Sporting kicked off their CONCACAF Champions League campaign with a 1-1 draw against Real Estelí at Estadio Independencia in Estelí, Nicaragua. Antonio Dovale scored the lone Sporting goal with a masterful free kick in the 16th minute, after an own goal gave the Central American side an early lead.  Here’s the Sporting team: Jon Kempin; Kevin Ellis, Aurelien Collin, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic; Lawrence Olum, Jorge Claros, Graham Zusi (Benny Feilhaber 67); Toni Dovale (Sal Zizzo 57), C.J. Sapong, Soony Saad (Dom Dwyer 73) D.C. UNITED D.C. United put an end to their two-game losing slide in emphatic fashion, cruising to a 4-2 win against the Colorado Rapids on Sunday evening at RFK Stadium. United are in second place in the Eastern Conference with 40 points from 23 games.

LAST MATCH  United took the lead just 13 minutes in. Left back Taylor Kemp played a lovely through ball with the outside of his right foot to a streaking Luis Silva, who cut back before chipping his effort over the outstretched arms of Colorado goalkeeper Clint Irwin.

MLS GAME INFORMATION



The Rapids were level, though, in the 52rd minute through a stunning goal. Colorado midfielder Jared Watts headed a clearance toward Dillon Serna, who struck an absolutely spectacular volley up and over United goalkeeper Bill Hamid from all of 30 yards out.  But United regained the lead in the 66th minute when Sean Franklin collected a loose ball just outside the area, finding Silva just outside the six, and he slotted the ball into the side netting at the far post.  United made it 3-0 in the 81st minute when Kemp embarked on a 40-yard run on the left sideline before driving a low cross to Chris Rolfe, who hammered a low attempt home from the edge of the box. Just five minutes, Fabian Espindola got United’s fourth, smashing home a David Estrada pass from 17 yards out in the heart of the box.  Colorado pulled a goal back in stoppage time when Deshorn Brown headed home at the goal line on a Dillon Powers ball looped over Hamid, but it was too little, too late.  United head coach Ben Olsen made three changes to the team that fell 3-0 to Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium. Taylor Kemp came into the back four for Chris Korb, Perry Kitchen came back into the midfield in place of Jared Jeffrey, and Fabian Espindola started up top in place of the suspended Eddie Johnson.  D.C. UNITED (4-4-1-1): Bill Hamid - Sean Franklin, Bobby Boswell, Steve Birnbaum, Taylor Kemp - Nick DeLeon (Alex Caskey 87), Perry Kitchen, Davy Arnaud, Chris Rolfe (David Estrada 84) - Luis Silva (Lewis Neal 73) - Fabian Espindola.

TEAM NEWS  D.C. United rebounded from their first consecutive losses since the opening two games of the season, winning their fifth game in the last seven matches.  “It was extremely important to win this game. All our home games from here on out are crucial, and we have put ourselves in a good spot. If we continue to take care of winning at home we will be in good shape,” said United head coach Ben Olsen. “Saying that, we would like to go on the road and pick up some points. It’s not going to be easy; there is a lot of travel and tough opponents. But again, as we get bodies back I’m hopeful we can go on the road and get some points.”  Luis Silva scored a pair of goals, his first since July 20. He has all seven of his goals this season in a ninegame span since June 11, when he scored a hat trick against Montréal.  Fabian Espíndola made his first start since June 11, when he was forced off at halftime with a knee injury that kept him out of the next six league contests. Espíndola scored his eighth goal of the season, his first since May 31, when he had scored in three consecutive games.  “It’s unbelievable to have him back. He’s just relentless. I’m just glad he’s on our team,” said Olsen. “Playing that nine role on the field, he’s not always the biggest and strongest, but he’s an absolute handful. He just wills himself to succeed. It was a pretty impressive performance. Overall it was a great night for him.”  Espindola and Silva formed the front two for United from the start for a sixth match this season. The pair have been on the field together for 442 minutes this season; when they have started the same game, Silva has scored five times, while Espindola has contributed two goals and three assists.  “[Espindola and I] understand each other pretty well,” Silva said. “If I stay high, he drops. If he stays high, I drop.

We share the work defensively and offensively as well, so I think that helps a lot.” Added Olsen: “I think sometimes when you are tight with someone, it translates onto the field. I think they have a good relationship in the locker room and outside of the game. I think they just have an understanding.”  Said Espindola: “It’s totally different playing with Silva than it is playing with EJ. With Luis, you want to put the ball at his feet or find him for a combination; with EJ, it’s totally the opposite. You can put the ball anywhere near him, he’ll make use of his strength to find it. But both of them are great players. Luis is doing great work. I can hear him all the time from behind me, he tells me all the time where he’s at when I can’t see him – wide left, man on, turn, all that helps a lot.”  Making his second MLS start this season, Taylor Kemp recorded his first two career assists, in his 13th career MLS appearance. “I’m extremely happy for him. It’s just a matter of him believing in the tools that he has, because they’re there. [That game] was a big step for him,” said Olsen.  Making his second appearance with United following his acquisition from Seattle Sounders FC, David Estrada recorded the first assist of his MLS career. He has scored five goals. “There’s no better way to get in and gel than by coming on and helping out teammates. It will help his relationship and getting incorporated with the team,” said Olsen.  On Wednesday, United got their CONCACAF Champions League started off on the right foot with a 1-0 win against Jamaica’s Waterhouse FC at RFK Stadium. Eddie Johnson scored the game’s lone goal after just five minutes.  Here’s the United team: Joe Willis; Alex Caskey, Kofi Opare, Conor Shanosky, Nana Attakora; Kyle Porter (Luis Silva 80), Lewis Neal, Jared Jeffrey, Collin Martin (Taylor Kemp 70); David Estrada, Eddie Johnson

Sporting KC news & Notes (continued) Kempin continues strong month of August

Dominance over D.C. at home

In the last three weeks, homegrown goalkeeper Jon Kempin has earned MVP honors of the inaugural MLS Homegrown Game, made his League debut, become Sporting KC’s youngest ever starting keeper and posted two Save of the Week nominations.

Sporting KC is 4-0-0 all-time against D.C. United at Sporting Park and has not lost to the four-time MLS champions at home since July 4, 2007 at Arrowhead Stadium, a streak spanning nine games (6-0-3). D.C. has scored a single goal in 360 minutes at Sporting Park.

Kempin, the club’s first Homegrown player upon signing in 2010 at age 17, made his MLS debut in the second half of Sporting KC’s 2-0 loss at the Vancouver Whitecaps on Aug. 10. Replacing the injured Andy Gruenebaum at halftime, he marked his first League appearance with a penalty kick save – and MLS Save of the Week winner – against Darren Mattocks in the 84th minute. The Leawood, Kansas native followed up with another Save of the Week nominee in a 4-1 win over Toronto FC on Aug. 16, denying Gilberto in the 51st minute with Sporting KC up a goal. In his CONCACAF Champions League debut on Tuesday, Kempin made a pivotal save in the 81st minute to keep his team level with Real Esteli as the match ended 1-1.

Dwyer chasing club’s single season scoring record

With Gruenebaum’s status day-to-day (shoulder muscle strain) and first-string keeper Eric Kronberg still out (hand fracture), Kempin assumes the role of Sporting KC’s No. 1 keeper. The fifth-year professional most recently joined the United States U-21 Men’s National Team in April and has also trained with the U.S. U-23 Men’s National Team.

Injuries and international duty test Sporting KC’s depth Through 24 games in the 2014 MLS regular season, Sporting KC has featured 24 different starting lineups. Peter Vermes’ lineup selection has been complicated by several factors throughout the year. In March, the club had to balance multiple competitions during the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals.

In May, schedule congestion came to the forefront with seven MLS games during the month. More recently, goalkeepers Eric Kronberg and Andy Gruenebaum suffered injuries, giving Jon Kempin his first MLS start for the club.

To complicate matters, Chance Myers and Ike Opara have suffered seasonending injuries; Matt Besler, Graham Zusi and Lawrence Olum have seen extended international action; and Erik Palmer-Brown and Aurelien Collin have served one-game suspensions, with the latter also picking up a minor injury.

As a result, 29 different players have started an MLS match for the club this season, a team record and most in the League. Of those 29 players, 12 were 23 years of age or younger at the start of the season. The club’s defense has been stretched most of all, with eight different players featuring in the centerback position during the 2014 campaign. Overall, 30 players have appeared for the club in an MLS match this year, most among all teams.

Gruenebaum makes history as Sporting KC’s starting goalkeeper Goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum became just the second goalkeeper in MLS history (Jorge Campos, 1996 LA Galaxy) to earn regulation wins in each of his first four regulation appearances for a new club. He has a 4-1-1 record since replacing injured Eric Kronberg on July 12.

Gruenebaum began his 2014 MLS campaign with a 2-1 win at Montreal, then notched three more 2-1 victories against the Columbus Crew (July 16), LA Galaxy (July 19) and Toronto FC (July 26) as Sporting KC surged atop the Eastern Conference standings. The Overland Park, Kansas native previously made 82 MLS appearances for the Crew (including postseason) from 2006-2013.

League pool goalkeeper Tim Melia joins Sporting KC Sporting KC announced on Aug. 13 that League pool goalkeeper Tim Melia has joined the club. A five-year veteran of MLS, Melia played two seasons with Real Salt Lake (2010-2011) before signing with Chivas USA (2012-2014). Over that span, the 28-year-old made six MLS appearances while also playing on loan for the Charleston Battery and FC New York.

Melia arrives in Kansas City due to injuries to Eric Kronberg and Andy Gruenebaum. Kronberg fractured the fourth metacarpal bone on his left hand in July and is in the midst of an eight-week recovery, while Gruenebaum strained his supraspinatus in the team’s most recent match and is day-to-day.

Forward Dom Dwyer is second in MLS with 16 goals and has climbed into second place on the club’s all-time single season scoring chart. With 10 matches remaining, he needs three more goals to pass Preki’s single season record of 18 set in 1996.

Both of Dwyer’s goals against Toronto FC on Aug. 16 came from the penalty spot, where he is now six-for-six on the season after becoming the first player in club history to successfully convert two penalty kicks in an MLS match. Dwyer’s six successful penalties are now second most in team history and fourth most in a single-season by an MLS player all-time.

The brace against Toronto was Dwyer’s fifth of the season, most in MLS this year and third on the club’s career charts. Remarkably, all five of those multigoal games have come against Canadian opposition (three vs. Montreal, two vs. Toronto). Only six MLS players have recorded more multi-goal games in a season over the League’s 19-year history.

In a victory at Montreal on July 12, Dwyer became one of only 10 players in MLS history to score six or more regular season goals against the same opponent in a single year and the first to do so in the League’s expansion era (2005-present).

Spot on for Sporting KC The six consecutive penalty kick conversions by Dom Dwyer in 2014 continues a recent trend for the MLS champions from the penalty spot. The club has now scored on 13 straight attempts dating back to 2012 -- the longest active streak in MLS -- and has proven successful on 26 of their last 27 penalty kicks dating back to 2007. In addition, the club secured the 2012 U.S. Open Cup and 2013 MLS Cup in penalty shootout wins.

Sporting KC kicks off 2014-15 CONCACAF Champions League campaign Sporting KC battled to a 1-1 draw against Real Esteli FC on Tuesday in their opening game of the 2014-15 CONCACAF Champions League at Estadio Independencia in Esteli, Nicaragua.

After conceding in the sixth minute, Sporting KC leveled the score 10 minutes later with a perfectly placed free kick from Antonio Dovale in his CCL debut.

Real Esteli FC now leads Group 2 with two points from back-to-back home draws while Sporting KC and Costa Rican club Deportivo Saprissa share second place in the standings with a point apiece.

The defending MLS Cup champions will now return home for back-to-back CCL matches at Sporting Park, hosting Saprissa on Thursday, Sept. 18 and Esteli on Tuesday, Sept. 23. Both matches will kick off at 7 p.m. CT. Sporting KC will conclude the group stage on Thursday, Oct. 23 at Saprissa.

Esteli and Saprissa kicked off Group 2 action on Aug. 6, battling to a 1-1 draw in Nicaragua. The team with the most points at the conclusion of the CCL group stage will advance to the quarterfinal round in early 2015. Sporting KC advanced to the 2013-14 quarterfinals in March against Mexican club and eventual champion Cruz Azul, losing 5-2 on aggregate.

Deportivo Saprissa has won three CONCACAF Champions Cup titles (1993, 1995 and 2005) and features Yeltsin Tejeda, who helped Costa Rica advance to the 2014 FIFA World Cup quarterfinals. In May, Saprissa won their 30th league title in the Torneo de Verano final to become the most successful club in the history of the Costa Rican Primera Division. Real Esteli, the defending Clausura and Apertura champions in their domestic league, are the only Nicaraguan side to have participated in the competition and have qualified every year since the 2008-09 edition.

Sporting KC news & Notes (continued) Sporting Park sellout streak

Sporting KC a consistent contender in MLS

Sporting Park has sold out 48 straight MLS matches, including four playoff games. The last time Sporting KC didn’t play in front of a sellout was March 25, 2012. Since opening in June 2011, the venue has sold out 61 of 69 MLS games and averaged 19,310 spectators, 104.6 percent of its 18,467 capacity.

Since the beginning of 2011, Sporting KC has the best aggregate regular season record and the best road record of all MLS teams. During this time period, Sporting KC has won two major trophies -- the 2012 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and the 2013 MLS Cup -- and is the only club with multiple conference regular season titles (2011, 2012).

Through 12 MLS matches of the 2014 home campaign, Sporting Park’s average attendance is 20,176. The stadium’s 109.3 percent capacity this season ranks first in the League (excluding CenturyLink Field in Seattle, where official capacity is 38,500 but expands to 67,000 for select matches).

Paying the penalty Sporting KC has earned and conceded six penalty kicks each through 24 matches this year, both tied for second most in the club’s single season history.

This follows a League-wide trend, as referees have pointed to the spot at an increased rate in 2014. As of Aug. 21, 103 penalty kicks have been awarded through 221 games (0.47 per game). The whole 2013 regular season had 81 penalties (0.25 per game), while the 2012 campaign had 72 penalties (0.22 per game).

Strength in defense Sporting KC leads MLS with just 23 goals allowed and a 0.96 goals against average, while Saturday night’s opponent D.C. United ranks second with 26 goals conceded and a 1.13 GAA. Furthermore, no team has conceded fewer first half goals than Sporting KC’s nine -- including just two in 12 games at Sporting Park.

Besler, Collin, Dwyer and Zusi feature in MLS All-Star victory Matt Besler, Aurelien Collin, Dom Dwyer and Graham Zusi saw action in the 2014 MLS All-Star game on Aug. 6 as the MLS All-Stars defeated FC Bayern Munich 2-1 at Providence Park in Portland.

Besler, Collin and Zusi started and played 45 minutes before exiting at halftime, while Dwyer entered the fray in the 71st minute. The reigning German Bundesliga and FIFA Club World Cup champions went ahead early through Robert Lewandowski’s impressive half volley, but New York Red Bulls striker Bradley Wright Phillips equalized with a spectacular long range effort shortly after the break. Fourteen-time MLS All-Star Landon Donovan struck the 70thminute game-winner and earned match MVP honors.

Besler has twice collected MLS Best XI (2012, 2013) honors and is a three-time MLS All-Star (2011, 2013, 2014). He was awarded MLS Defender of the Year in 2012 before being named a finalist again in 2013. Besler was Sporting KC’s Defensive Player of the Year each of the past three seasons.

Collin earned MLS All-Star honors for a third consecutive year after signing with Sporting KC in April 2011. The 28-year-old centerback was a member of the MLS Best XI each of the last two seasons and was a Defender of the Year finalist in 2012. His 15 goals are most among defenders in MLS competition since 2011.

Zusi, an MLS Best XI selection in 2012 and 2013, was also an All-Star for the third straight season. In 2013, Zusi was nominated for Best MLS Player at the ESPYS and was the top rated midfielder in the MLS Castrol Index. He has been voted Sporting KC’s Most Valuable Player each of the last two years.

GAME NOTES

Luis Silva Scores Career High Forward Luis Silva scored his career high seventh goal of the season with his brace against Colorado on Aug. 17. The goals were Silva’s first from regular season play since scoring the team’s assurance goal in a 31 victory over Chivas USA on July 20. Silva is the only United player who has scored two or more goals in more than one game this season.

Fabian Espindola is a close second, having scored a brace in the club’s 4-1 victory over FC Dallas on April 26.

Taylor Kemp’s First Two MLS Career Assists D.C. United defender Taylor Kemp filled in for an injured Chris Korb last Sunday, aiding the Black-and-Red to a 4-2 home victory over the Colorado Rapids. Making his second start this season, Kemp contributed to the game’s first goal in the 12th minute, sending a through ball to a streaking Luis Silva. Kemp got his second assist of the night on United’s third goal. The University of Maryland product ran 60 yards down the sideline, before sending a cross to Chris Rolfe, who struck a low shot past Colorado ‘keeper Clint Irwin in the 81st minute. In two seasons with the clubs, Kemp has appeared in eleven games (eight starts), logging 713 minutes.

Battle for First Place With a win last Sunday, the Black-and-Red has narrowed the point gap with first place Sporting KC to two. The host side has a mere 42 to 40 lead in the category; however, Kansas City has a one game advantage over D.C. United this season, having played 24 thus far. The last time D.C. United was in first place this late in to the season, was in Sept. of 2007.

Good to be Home After earning a 4-2 victory in the team’s last home game against the Colorado Rapids, D.C. United has ended its two game slide that began on Aug. 3 in a 1-0 loss to Houston. United has maintained the second longest undefeated streak at home this season (eight), behind the Los Angeles Galaxy, with nine. The Black-and-Red has only fallen twice at RFK, giving the club the second best home record (8-2-3), behind Sporting (5-1-6). In addition, United is leading its Eastern Conference opponents in goals scored at home (23).

Espindola is Back After missing almost two months with a knee injury, forward Fabian Espindola made his first start with the club last Sunday against the Colorado Rapids. Fabi went 90 minutes, scoring the fourth goal in the club’s 4-2 victory at home. United’s newest acquisition, former Seattle Sounder FC forward David Estrada assisted for the goal in the 86th minute, giving Fabi his team-leading eighth goal this season.

Rolfe Scores Another Midfielder Chris Rolfe scored his fifth goal this season in the club’s 4-2 win against Colorado last Sunday. Rolfe is now third in goals scored for D.C. United this season, behind Luis Silva (seven) and Fabian Espindola (eight).

Last Meeting at Sporting Park With the help of a late second half goal from forward Claudio Bieler, Sporting defeated D.C. United on Oct. 18, 2013. Bieler's fourth goal of the year, off an assist from forward Soony Saad, lifted Sporting to a 1-0 victory that saw SKC ‘keeper Jimmy Nielsen earn his league-leading fourth consecutive clean sheet.

Hamid Continues Career Year Holding a saves percentage of 74.2 percent over 19 games, D.C. United All-Star goalkeeper Bill Hamid has the highest saves percentage in MLS. Furthermore, with five shutouts, Hamid has the second-most shutouts among Eastern Conference keepers, behind Houston Dynamo keeper Tally Hall and Sporting Kansas City keeper Eric Kronberg, who are tied with seven.

All-Time Record against Kansas City D.C. United’s all-time record is 19-20-10 against Sporting Kansas City.

Since their first meeting with Sporting in 1996, United has gone 13-6-5 at home and 6-14-5 on the road.

Bill Hamid against SKC Among active goalkeepers, Bill Hamid is sixth all-time in saves against Sporting Kansas City (32).

All-Time Goal Scoring D.C. United ranks sixth all-time in goals scored (63) against Sporting Kansas City.

Converting Penalties In 49 games played against Sporting Kansas City, D.C. United has scored from a penalty eight times. Only the Colorado Rapids have scored more goals off penalties against Sporting (11).

Physical Matchup Sporting KC ranks first in the league for fouls committed with 359 in 24 games. D.C. United, on the other hand, is tied for 12th in the category with the Vancouver Whitecaps at 290.

Facing a tough August The Black-and-Red faces a jam-packed schedule this month, with seven games in 29 days. Only three other teams will play seven matches, including Montreal, Seattle and LA. United began its busy run with the Houston Dynamo on Aug. 3, falling to its Texas rival, 1-0, at BBVA Compass Stadium. The club was unable to bounce back a week later, as its losing streak extended on the road against Real Salt Lake, 3-0.

However, the Black-and-Red improved its play and earned its first three points this month with a 4-2 win over Colorado last Sunday. In addition, D.C. United will open its CONCACAF Champions League campaign on Aug. 20 against Jamaican side Waterhouse FC at RFK. Key First Goal D.C. United is one of four teams in MLS that have yet to lose a game when scoring the first goal, along with the San Jose Earthquakes, Los Angeles Galaxy and Sporting Kansas City. After 23 games, the Blackand-Red has maintained the best record when tallying first, 11-0-1, with a .955 pct. In addition, the club continues to hold the second best record when leading at the half (10-0-1), behind the Houston Dynamo (3-0-0).

Sporting is just below United with a (8-0-1, .944 pct) when leading at the half.
