GAME 32

HOUSTON DYNAMO (11-10-10; 43 pts.) vs. SPORTING KANSAS CITY (12-7-12; 48 pts.) Wednesday, October 11, 2017 · 7:00 p.m. CDT · BBVA Compass Stadium · Houston, Texas

PLAYOFF PUSH CONTINUES AS DYNAMO HOST SPORTING KANSAS CITY After being forced to postpone tonight’s game due to Hurricane Harvey in late August, the Houston Dynamo will host Western Conference opponent Sporting Kansas City in the first game of a home-and-home in-season series. This match is crucial for both teams as they seek a spot in the playoffs in a very close Western Conference race. The Dynamo sit fifth in the Western Conference table with 43 points, and Sporting Kansas City are second with 48 points. The Dynamo’s “magic number” to qualify for the playoffs is six points, meaning that any combination of six points gained by Houston and/or dropped by both Real Salt Lake and San Jose would allow the Dynamo to clinch a spot in the 2017 MLS Cup Playoffs for the first time in three years. Sporting Kansas City hasn’t missed the playoffs since 2010, and if they want to keep that streak alive, a single point will get them there. Last night was final round of CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying, and between the Dynamo and Sporting, there are a total of 10 players who will return from international duty ahead of tonight’s game. The quick turnaround for those stars creates an interesting dilemma for both head coaches as they work to allocate minutes with the playoffs just around the corner. The Dynamo have defenders DaMarcus Beasley (USA) and Adolfo Machado (Panama), midfielder Boniek García and forwards Alberth Elis and Romell Quioto (Honduras); while Sporting has defender Matt Besler (USA) and Graham Zusi (USA), midfielders Benny Feilhaber (USA) and Kevin Oliviera (Cape Verde), and forward Soony Saad (Lebanon) coming back into the fold. Forward Vicente Sánchez has demonstrated that age is just a number and that to be a game-changing player it only takes a couple of minutes. Since August, Sánchez has scored two goals and dished five assists in just 204 minutes of play. Also, the Dynamo are undefeated when the 37-year-old Uruguayan gets on the score sheet. Just as the Dynamo pride themselves on being the second highest-scoring team in the West with 52 goals scored, Sporting can pride themselves on being the stingiest defense in the league with just 25 goals conceded. Sporting will be without goalkeeper Tim Melia, who is sidelined for 2-4 weeks with a hamstring strain, and may be without Besler, Zusi and Feilhaber following international play, but will still have plenty of weapons at their disposal on both ends of the pitch. Following Wednesday's game, the two clubs will meet again four days later in Kansas City on Sunday night in the second half of an in-season home-and-home series that will help determine the playoff fates of both sides.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR... • MF Alex can make his 30th in a season for the second straight year and third time in his career if he plays on Wednesday night. • Alex needs one assist to reach 15 for his career and needs two assists to tie for the second-most in a season in Dynamo history with 12. Brad Davis holds the club record wtih 16 in 2011. • MF Ricardo Clark can break into the all-time top 10 in games started among field players if he starts on Wednesday night. It would be his 316th career start in MLS regular-season play. • A start would tie Clark with current Dynamo assistant Davy Arnaud and former Colorado Rapids star Pablo Mastroeni for ninth on the all-time list. • Clark has 31 career goals in all competitions with Houston and will tie Dwayne De Rosario (32) for fifth on club list with his next. • GK Tyler Deric can improve his record as a starter to 26-27-23 if he starts and the Dynamo win. • Deric can keep his fifth clean sheet of the season. • FW Alberth Elis can score in his third consecutive game, which would be a career-long streak. • Elis needs three goals to match the old club record of 13 in a season set by Brian Ching in 2008. • DF Adolfo Machado can play the full 90 minutes for the 32nd consecutive game and can continue to be the only player on the team to start every game this season. • FW Mauro Manotas needs one goal to reach 10 in a season for the first time in his MLS career and to reach 20 across all competitions with the Dynamo. • MF Tomás Martínez can make his eighth appearance of the season and could make his fourth start of the year. • FW Romell Quioto can score his seventh goal of the season. • Quioto can score in back-to-back games for the first time since he scored in the first three games of this season. • FW Vicente Sánchez can record an assist in his fourth consecutive game. • Sánchez can set a new career high with his sixth assist of the season. • FW Erick Torres needs one goal to tie his career high of 15 goals set in 2014 with Chivas USA. • FW Andrew Wenger needs two goals to reach 10 with the Dynamo.

2017 GAME NOTES

GAME 32 HEAD COACH COMPARISON

HOUSTON DYNAMO HEAD COACH WILMER CABRERA

SPORTING KANSAS CITY HEAD COACH PETER VERMES

Wilmer Cabrera was named head coach of the Houston Dynamo on October 28, 2016. Cabrera was previously the first head coach the Rio Grande Valley FC Toros, the Dynamo's hybrid USL affiliate. He also served time as a head coach and assistant coach in Major League Soccer and head coach of the United States Under-17 Boys National Team.

Manager Peter Vermes oversees all soccer operations for Sporting Kansas City, including the active roster and the Sporting Kansas City Academy. He has spent eight seasons as Sporting Kansas City Manager and 11 as the club's Technical Director. Vermes has served as Sporting Kansas City’s manager since 2009, becoming the team’s all-time winningest coach and the eighth winningest coach in MLS regular season history. Over the last eight-plus years, he has amassed 115 regular season wins (115-89-72) and 128 victories in all competitions (145-103-81). He has also hoisted four major trophies — the 2013 MLS Cup and the 2012, 2015 and 2017 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups.

A native of Colombia, Cabrera is bilingual in English and Spanish and was the first Latin American head coach at the helm of a U.S. national team. He served as head coach of the United States Under-17 Boys National Team from October 2007 to January 2012 and compiled a 36-29-15 record, guiding the U.S. U-17s through two U-17 World Cup qualifying cycles ahead of the 2009 and 2011 FIFA U-17 FIFA World Cups, including progression to the Round of 16 at both tournaments. Cabrera also led his squad to a firstplace finish at the 2011 CONCACAF U-17 Championship.

Vermes, 50, has led Sporting Kansas City to a club-record six straight playoff appearances since 2011. During this time period, he has become the third coach in league history to win at least 13 games in six consecutive regular seasons.

Cabrera began his MLS coaching career as assistant under current FC Dallas head coach Oscar Pareja for two seasons with the Colorado Rapids (201213) before he was head coach of Chivas USA in 2014, the club’s final season in MLS.

Currently the longest tenured manager in MLS, Vermes took his position in August 2009 and helped Sporting Kansas City finish atop the Eastern Conference regular season standings in 2011 and 2012. Under his guidance, Sporting Kansas City won the 2012 U.S. Open Cup title and the 2013 MLS Cup championship, making Vermes the only person to win MLS Cup as a player and coach with the same team. He previously captained Kansas City to its first league title in 2000 as a central defender.

As the first head coach of Rio Grande Valley FC, Cabrera guided the expansion club to a record of 14-7-9 and second-place finish in the USL’s Western Conference. RGV FC had the best goal difference – plus 23 – in the Western Conference, and allowed just 24 goals, second-fewest in the 29-team USL, and fewest in the West. The Toros also led the conference with 16 shutouts and set a USL-record with a streak of 760 minutes without conceding a goal in July and August.

After leading his team to another playoff berth in 2014, Vermes won the 2015 Open Cup title as Sporting Kansas City collected its third major trophy over a four-year span. He is the third-winningest active MLS coach (regular season) heading into the 2017 campaign.

As a player, the former defender made 48 appearances for the Colombia National Team, including three starts at the 1998 FIFA World Cup, inclusion on the roster at the 1990 FIFA World Cup, and a role at four Copa America tournaments (1989, ’91, ’95 and ’97). His 20-year professional playing career began at age 17 with Independiente Sante Fe in Colombia and included spells in Argentina and Costa Rica before a final stop in the United States with the Long Island Rough Riders.

Vermes was named Kansas City’s technical director in 2006 and oversees all soccer operations at the club, including scouting, roster management and development of the Sporting Kansas City Academy.

Cabrera’s career in youth development began as an assistant coach with Suffolk (New York) Community College followed by a stint as coach with the BW Gottschee Academy in New York City.

LINEUPS

Dynamo F Mauro Manotas scored his first career MLS goal in the 30th minute. García beat the offside trap on the right flank and then slipped a well-weighted pass into the path off Manotas, who drove a low finish inside the far post from 15 yards. It was Manotas’ fifth career goal in all competitions with the Dynamo after he tallied four times in the U.S. Open Cup.

LAST GAME VS. MINNESOTA UNITED

DYNAMO VS. MINNESOTA BOX SCORE

HOUSTON (Saturday, Sept. 30, 2017) – The Houston Dynamo captured three vital points in a 2-1 win over Minnesota United FC tonight at BBVA Compass Stadium as they continue to push for a spot in the Audi 2017 MLS Cup Playoffs.

Houston Dynamo (11-10-10, 43 pts.) 2-1 Minnesota United FC (9-16-5; 32 pts.) MLS Week 30 Saturday, Sept. 30, 2017 – BBVA Compass Stadium – Houston, Texas Attendance: 16,133

After creating several chances throughout the evening, the Dynamo finally broke through in the 69th minute thanks to the combination of forwards Alberth Elis and Vicente Sánchez. Sanchez worked free down the left flank and whipped in a cross that found Elis at the far post. La Panterita buried his header into the back of the net for his 10th goal of the campaign and then raced to the sideline where he pulled on a Black Panther luchador mask in celebration.

HOU: Alberth Elis 10 (Vicente Sánchez 4) 69 HOU: Romell Quioto 6 (Vicente Sánchez 5) 85 MIN: Sam Nicholson 1 (Francisco Calvo 1) 90+1

The Dynamo doubled their lead in the 85th minute through forward Romell Quioto, again set up by a service from Sánchez, this time off of a corner kick. The Honduran, who had several dangerous opportunities throughout the match, finished with a powerful header that proved to be the game-winner.

Minnesota pulled a goal back in stoppage time thanks to midfielder Sam Nicholson, who buried a shot in the lower right corner of the net, but the Dynamo successfully killed off the remaining three-plus minutes of stoppage time to come away with the much-needed win.

Unused Substitutes: Joe Willis, Jalil Anibaba, Tomás Martínez, , Erick Torres Minnesota United FC: Bobby Shuttleworth; Jerome Thiesson, Michael Boxall, Francisco Calvo (C), Marc Burch (Sam Nicholson 83); Ibson, Collin Martin; Ethan Finlay, Kevin Molino (Johan Venegas 71), Miguel Ibarra (Abu Danladi 71); Christian Ramirez

With the win, Houston now sits on 43 points with an 11-10-10 record, good for fifth in the MLS Western Conference table with three games remaining. In addition to their two goals, Elis and Quioto proved to be Houston’s danger men throughout the contest. In the 22nd minute, Elis played a perfect cross to Quioto, who was open in front of an empty net, but his sliding volley attempt went over the crossbar for a goal kick. In the 36th, Quioto found himself with time at the top of the Minnesota penalty area and uncorked a low left-footed shot that forced a diving save from Loons goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth to keep the game scoreless. Elis then used his pace to run in behind the Loons defense and into the box in the 42nd minute, where he slid a pass to Quioto. Quioto settled the cross and fired a shot, but Shuttleworth was able to recover to make the save.

2017 GAME NOTES

GAME 32

"THIS IS VICENTE'S TIME"

ELIS GOALS = DYNAMO POINTS

Recently Dynamo head coach Wilmer Cabrera remarked that "this is Vicente's time," in regard to forward Vicente Sanchez. Houston signed the 37-year-old attacker prior to the season, and for most of the year he's played sparingly as his younger teammates carried the load.

The Dynamo rallied from a 3-1 deficit in the final 10 minutes to salvage a 3-3 draw against the LA Galaxy on Wednesday night thanks to a pair of goals from forward Alberth Elis. Then on Saturday, Elis netted the opener in Houston's 2-1 win over Minnesota United FC.

But over the last two months with the playoff race tightening every week, Sanchez has taken on a larger role in the Dynamo attack, and he's proving that the old man still has it.

Elis' second goal against LA kept a streak alive for the young Honduran - it kept the Dynamo unbeaten in games when he scores. After the Minnesota win, Houston is now 6-0-3 when Elis finds the net.

Since August 1, Sanchez has played 204 minutes and has created seven goals - two of his own and five for teammates. His 3.09 goals-plus-assists per 90 minutes is by far the most in the league over that time span.

MULTIPLE SCORING THREATS

THE (PLAYOFF) RACE IS ON!

Forwards Alberth Elis and Mauro Manotas have each found the net in the last two weeks, and each of them has helped the Dynamo rescue valuable points in a three-game unbeaten run as the team pushes for the playoffs.

With three games to go in the 2017 regular season, the Dynamo sit fifth in the Western Conference table on 43 points, two spots north of the Playoff Line.

Manotas' goal at New York City FC on Sept. 23 gave him nine on the year and tied him with Stuart Holden for seventh on the club's all-time scoring list with 15 in his career.

However, they are only one point ahead of sixth - and seventh and eighth. So to say that every point is critical may be the understatement of the season - not just for Houston, but for Real Salt Lake, FC Dallas and San Jose as well.

Elis recorded a brace on Wednesday night to rescue a 3-3 draw for the Dynamo and give him eight and nine on the year, and then followed it up with another strike in Houston's 2-1 win over Minnesota on Wednesday night to reach double digits.

For the Dynamo, two of those three remaining contests will take place at BBVA Compass Stadium. Houston is the only team of the two home games left, which plays to their advantage.

Elis became the sixth player in club history to score double-digit goals in a season, and Manotas is knocking on the door of becoming the seventh. Teammate Erick Torres has 14 on the year. If Manotas can bag one more goal, it would mark the first time in Dynamo history that the club had three players with 10 or more goals.

Other clubs face closing stretches with more teams currently below the Playoff Line, which could point to a theoretically easier path. Below is a look at what each of the Western Conference playoff contenders will face down the stretch. Team Game 32 HOUSTON DYNAMO (43 pts.) vs. SKC (47) Real Salt Lake (42 pts.)

BE QUICK, BUT DON'T HURRY

MACHADO CLEARS THE DANGER

Legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden used to tell his players, "Be quick, but don't hurry." For the players, it was a message meant to remind them to play with pace, but to always remain under control.

Houston Dynamo defender Adolfo Machado was one of the club's marquee offseason additions when he signed on a transfer from Deportivo Saprissa. So important was he to Saprissa that the Costa Rican giant was forced to hold an emergency press conference when news leaked out in order to address their fans' displeasure.

For the 2017 Houston Dynamo, the same phrase could hold true when it comes to the team's attacking philosophy. The Dynamo openly admit to not being a possession-oriented team, and their stats (44.5 percent average possession, 20th in MLS) back that up.

Machado has quickly established himself as a force in the Dynamo back line, showcasing the leadership and physical presence that made him so popular at his former club. He is the only player on the team to have been on the field for every minute of the 2017 season to date. He's also shown himself to be one of the toughest center backs in MLS throughout the season.

However, despite not having much of the ball, La Naranja are sixth in the league in scoring. Houston averages a goal every 23.89 minutes of possession, which is the second-lowest ratio of any team in the league.

Through 31 weeks of league play, Machado leads the league in number of total clearances with 187. His 187 clearances are nearly 15 greater than the next closest player.

BASKETBALL ON GRASS In keeping with the basketball theme above, it's probably only fitting to describe parts of the Dynamo attack as "basketball on grass." If you don't possess the ball for much of the game, yet sit amongst the league leaders in goals scored, your attack must be moving at a pretty quick pace.

IRON MAN

Opta Sports tracks "fast breaks" in Major League Soccer, and no team has produced more fast breaks this season than the Dynamo or been more successful in converting them.

Dynamo defender Adolfo Machado is the only player on the Houston roster to have played in every game this season. Not only that, the Panama international has played every minute of the season for the team.

Houston's 17 fast break opportunities are two greater than the next-most prolific team, and their five fast break goals are the most in the league as well.

Machado is one of just two field players in the league (NYC FC defnder Alexander Callens being the other) who has played every minute of the season for their clubs this season.

He's also on pace to tie the club single-season record for minutes played, which he would do if he manages to play every minute of every game this season. To date, goalkeeper Tally Hall is the only player to have done so in a 34-game season for the club.

TORRES STAYING NEAR THE TOP

CUBO BREAKS CLUB RECORD

With 14 goals through 24 appearances this season, FW Erick Torres is tied for ninth in Major League Soccer in scoring. Torres has among the league leaders all season long in what has been a resurgent campaign for the young Mexican international.

FW Erick "Cubo" Torres banged home two goals in the span of 15 minutes to rescue Houston from a 3-1 deficit at FC Dallas on August 23 and rally the team to a 3-3 draw. In the process, he scored his 13th and 14th goals of the season, tying and then breaking the club single-season scoring record set by Brian Ching in 2008.

Torres' average of 0.66 goals per 90 minutes is ninth-best in the league.

Torres is just the fifth player in Dynamo history to reach double digits in a season, and his next goal would tie his career high of 15 set in 2015 with Chivas USA.

WITH OR WITHOUT YOU FW Erick "Cubo" Torres has played in 91 games in his MLS career, 54 of which have come under first-year Dynamo head coach Wilmer Cabrera. The results are striking. In the 54 games under Cabrera, Torres has scored 29 goals, compared to just seven goals in 37 games without the Colombian manager.

He's already within one goal of the club single-season scoring record set in 2008 by Brian Ching, and can put that mark, as well as his career high of 15 goals, in the rear-view mirror if he keeps it up.

2017 GAME NOTES

GAME 32

GOTTA FINISH TO WIN IT

THE ALL-IMPORTANT FIRST GOAL

The 2017 season has been somewhat bipolar in regard to the Houston Dynamo attack, and in particular, the team's ability to finish its chances.

The Houston Dynamo have been almost unbeatable at home this season, with a 9-1-3 record. One of the biggest keys to that success has been the Dynamo's ability to jump out to early leads at home.

At first glance, the Dynamo's 10-10-10 record would indicate a team squarely in the middle of the league's bell curve. However, a look into the numbers shows that the Dynamo have been one of the league's most dangerous teams throughout the year; the difference in their win-loss results has simply been in their finishing.

In eight of Houston's 14 home games, the Dynamo have sccored inside of the first 20 minutes, and that proved to be a major factor in the team's lone road win, on July 22 at D.C. United, as the Dynamo bagged three goals inside of 20 minutes. Furthermore, the Dynamo have now scored first in 13 of their 30 games, including 10 out of 14 times at home, and are now 9-0-4 when they do so.

Houston has created 436 total shots this season, which ranks eighth in the league: 164 in 11 victories, 125 in 10 losses and 147 in 10 draws. But looking at goals is another matter: 33 in wins, just five in losses and 14 in draws. That means that the Dynamo average a goal for every 5.44 shots in wins but it takes a whopping 25 shots to generate each goal when they lose.

For a team like the Dynamo that has been at its best on the counterattack, the importance of nabbing the first goal cannot be underestimated. It forces the opposition to chase the game and opens them up even further for more dangerous Dynamo counters.

Dynamo fans will be hoping the boys put their shooting boots on when they take the field on Wednesday night!

For Dynamo fans, getting in your seat or tuning in early has never been more important, as you may miss the most important moment of the game if you're 15 minutes late.

The Houston Dynamo have made a habit of jumping out to early leads in 2017 and playing from ahead throughout the year. They have been in the lead for nearly 35 percent the time this season, and have led by two or more goals for nearly 15 percent of the time they've been on the field. Conversely, they have only spent 714 minutes playing from behind, and just 289 minutes trailing by multiple goals.

CLARK MOVING UP THE 300 CLUB

DYNAMO AWARDS IN 2017

Houston Dynamo captain Ricardo Clark became just the 14th field player in the 21-year history of the league to start at least 300 regular-season games earlier this year; and he caught Chris Henderson (304) for 13th earlier this year vs. FC Dallas (6/23).

AWARD WEEK PLAYER MLSsoccer.com "24 Under 24" Alberth Elis (No. 12)

On Saturday night, he tied MLS legend Landon Donovan when he made his 315th career start. With three games remaining in the season, Clark has a chance to crack the Top 10 - and tie current Dynamo assistant coach Davy Arnaud - with his next start. He is one start away from catching and two shy of Arnaud and Pablo Mastroeni (316), who are tied for ninth all-time.

When the Dynamo brought in Juan David Cabezas on loan from Colombian giants Deportivo Cali during the offseason, word on the 25-year-old midfielder was that he was expected to bring a ball-winning presence to the middle of the park for Houston. So far, he's been not only a ball winner, but also an adept distributor in possession.

ABOUT BBVA COMPASS STADIUM

BBVA Compass Stadium is a state-of-the-art, open-air stadium designed to host Houston Dynamo matches, Houston Dash matches and Texas Southern University football games as well as additional professional, collegiate and community sporting events, concerts, exhibitions, conventions and special events. Opened on May 12, 2012, the 340,000-square foot, 22,000-seat stadium is the first soccer-specific stadium in Major League Soccer located in a city’s downtown district. An architecturally stunning building, the stadium features 94,000 square feet of aluminum panels on its exterior, giving it a modern and stylish appearance. Each of the panels is 50 percent open to improve air flow throughout the concourses. Canopies extend 75 feet over the stands on the east and west sides of the stadium, and a stage canopy extends 125 feet over the south end, providing shade to soccer fans and a built-in speaker setup for concerts. With its downtown location, the stadium is a part of a true ‘Stadium District,’ which includes Minute Maid Park and the Toyota Center, as well as the George R. Brown Convention Center, Discovery Green, Warehouse Live and House of Blues. BBVA Compass Stadium was awarded the LEED® Silver certification from the U.S. Green Building Council in December 2012. The stadium has been identified as a pioneering example of new construction and sustainable design and is considered a leader in transforming the building industry.

Sporting KC Game Notes | October 11, 2017 at Houston Dynamo | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #HOUvSKC: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#HOUvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City will take on the Houston Dynamo for the first time in the 2017 regular season this Wednesday at BBVA Compass Stadium, having already won at the venue earlier this year in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. The two sides will meet a third time at Children’s Mercy Park on Sunday, Oct. 15. In the only previous meeting in 2017, Sporting KC emerged as 2-0 victors at BBVA Compass Stadium in the U.S. Open Cup Round of 16 on June 28. Ike Opara opened the scoring early in the second half before Gerso tallied his eighth goal of the season in stoppage time off Latif Blessing’s assist to clinch a spot in the Quaterfinals. The Houston Dynamo holds the edge in the all-time regular-season series against Sporting KC, going 9-5-11 in the 25 meetings to date. That includes a 4-2-6 mark at BBVA Compass Stadium, where Sporting KC last won on June 6, 2014 when Soony Saad and Dom Dwyer tallied in a 2-0 victory. The two sides met three times in 2016, with Sporting KC going winless in both regular-season and U.S. Open Cup play. The Dynamo claimed the first meeting of the season with a 2-0 victory at BBVA Compass Stadium on May 7, 2016, with Giles Barnes and Andrew Wenger notching first-half goals. The next match also came at BBVA Compass Stadium, this time in the U.S. Open Cup Round of 16, and Houston earned a 3-1 victory behind a pair of goals from Mauro Manotas and another from Alex, while former Houston midfielder Brad Davis netted for Sporting KC. The final match took place at Children’s Mercy Park and ended in a 3-3 draw following a wild match that saw Sporting KC lead 2-0 and 3-2 after goals from Jacob Peterson, Roger Espinoza and Dwyer, but Houston responded through Manotas, Alex and Raul Rodriguez. #HOUvSKC: Recent Meetings (HOU leads 9-5-11 in regular season)

Sporting KC Game Notes | October 11, 2017 at Houston Dynamo | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes CLINCHING SCENARIOS

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

RUBIO CONTINUES FINE FORM

Sporting Kansas City enters Wednesday’s match against the Houston Dynamo at BBVA Compass Stadium knowing the side needs just one point from their final three regularseason matches to clinch a berth in the 2017 MLS Cup Playoffs. Sporting KC needed two points heading into last weekend’s match - a 1-1 draw with Minnesota United FC at TCF Bank Stadium, which brought the side’s magic number down to one.

Sporting Kansas City striker Diego Rubio recovered from a disappointing performance in the 1-0 defeat to Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Sept. 30 - where he missed an early penalty - to score the opening goal in Saturday night’s 1-1 draw with Minnesota United FC at TCF Bank Stadium. Rubio controlled a short pass from Latif Blessing, took a touch to create space away from his marker before firing a shot high into the net beyond Minnesota gloveman Bobby Shuttleworth in the second minute of first-half stoppage time. The goal was Rubio’s sixth in MLS play this season and his seventh in all competitions since returning from a torn ACL this summer.

Sporting KC also requires five points to secure a top-four finish, which would allow the club to host a playoff game for the first time since claiming the 2013 MLS Cup. Since that night at Children’s Mercy Park, Sporting KC has suffered Knockout Round defeats on the road in 2014 (New York Red Bulls), 2015 (Portland Timbers) and 2016 (Seattle Sounders FC) - with the latter two teams going on to win MLS Cup that season.

The Chilean now has six goals in just nine MLS starts, a rate that would have him on pace for just under 23 goals if he started all 34 games of an MLS regular season. Rubio leads the team in goals since July 1 with seven in all competitions, two ahead of Daniel Salloi in second. Across the season, winger Gerso still leads the team with 10 overall goals and eight in MLS play.

Five points from the last nine available for Sporting KC would see the side host a playoff game, while a win on Wednesday or a win on Sunday against the Dynamo would seal a top-four finish seeing as Houston are one of the teams chasing Sporting KC from outside the top four. Sporting KC would also clinch a top-four spot with draws in both games against Houston this week.

Taking a look across the league, Rubio’s 0.67 goals per start rate ranks seventh in all of MLS since July 1, trailing only recognizable goalscoring stars Josef Martinez (1.00), David Villa (0.91), Diego Valeri (0.79), Ignacio Piatti (0.75), Bradley Wright-Phillips (0.75), Sebastian Giovinco (0.72) and Clint Dempsey (0.70).

Sporting KC also knows that six points from their final three games, or two victories, would secure a top-two finish and a first-round bye in the MLS Cup Playoffs. Sporting KC could still lose all three of their final games and still advance to the postseason if any two of FC Dallas, Real Salt Lake and San Jose Earthquakes fail to win both of their remaining games.

Rubio now has 10 goals for Sporting KC since signing with the club at the start of the 2016 season, with seven coming in MLS play, two in the U.S. Open Cup and one in the CONCACAF Champions League. The 24-year-old has had a major uptick in 2017, recording seven goals and two assists in 16 appearances having posted just three goals and one assist in 20 appearances in 2016.

DEALING WITH THE DYNAMO

Sporting Kansas City is set to take on the Houston Dynamo for the second time this season, having already met the Texans in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup on June 28. Sporting KC will return home after Wednesday’s match at BBVA Compass Stadium to host the Dynamo again this Sunday at Children’s Mercy Park.

FOR CLUB AND COUNTRY

Sporting Kansas City heads into Wednesday’s matchup with the Houston Dynamo at BBVA Compass Stadium missing five players due to international duty:

In the one earlier meeting this season, Sporting KC earned a 2-0 victory in the U.S. Open Cup Round of 16 following second-half goals from Ike Opara and Gerso on a hot summer’s afternoon in the heart of Houston. That was the only road game Sporting KC played in their run to lifting the U.S. Open Cup in September, with the other four matches all being played at Children’s Mercy Park.

Player Matt Besler Benny Feilhaber Graham Zusi Soony Saad Kevin Oliveira

The two sides met three times in 2016, with Sporting KC going 0-2-1 in both regularseason and U.S. Open Cup play. The Dynamo claimed the first meeting with a 2-0 victory at BBVA Compass Stadium on May 7, 2016, with Giles Barnes and Andrew Wenger notching first-half goals.

Country Caps USA 46 USA 43 USA 55 Lebanon 9 Cape Verde 1

Matt Besler, Benny Feilhaber and Graham Zusi are all currently with the U.S. Men’s National Team ahead of the side’s final World Cup Qualifier against Trinidad & Tobago on Tuesday night. Besler played the full 90 minutes on Friday night as the U.S. routed Panama 4-0 at Orlando City Stadium to move into the third and final automatic qualification berth in the Hex that would see the side qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

BBVA Compass Stadium was the site once again for the next matchup in the U.S. Open Cup Round of 16. Houston earned a 3-1 victory behind a pair of goals from Mauro Manotas and another from Alex, while former Houston midfielder Brad Davis netted for Sporting KC in the second half. The final, and perhaps most frustrating match took place on Sept. 9, 2016 at Children’s Mercy Park and ended in a 3-3 draw following a wild affair that saw Sporting KC lead 2-0 and 3-2 after goals from Jacob Peterson, Roger Espinoza and Dwyer, but Houston responded through Manotas, Alex and a stoppage-time goal from Raul Rodriguez.

The U.S. can clinch a third-place finish with the following scenarios: • U.S. wins at Trinidad & Tobago, or • U.S. ties at Trinidad & Tobago, AND Honduras and Panama do not make up goal difference in wins vs. Mexico and Costa Rica, respectively or • U.S. loses at Trinidad & Tobago, AND Honduras and Panama both draw/lose vs. Mexico and Costa Rica, respectively

Sporting KC is 10-13-12 in all competitions against Houston and 5-9-11 all-time in MLS regular-season play, including a 3-5-5 mark on the road. Sporting KC also won an epic postseason encounter with the Dynamo in the 2013 Western Conference Final after Houston had knocked Sporting KC out of the playoffs in 2011 and 2012.

Forward Soony Saad has linked up with the Lebanese National Team for a 2019 AFC Asian Cup qualifier against North Korea, set for Oct. 10 at Camille Chamoun Sports City Stadium in Beirut, Lebanon. Lebanon is five points clear atop Group B of AFC Asian Cup qualifying with three matches still to play between now and March 2018.

MELIA SUFFERS HAMSTRING STRAIN

Sporting Kansas City goalkeeper will be out for the next two to four weeks with a hamstring strain, the club announced on Monday. Melia suffered the injury in the 1-1 draw against Minnesota United FC at TCF Bank Stadium on Saturday night, exiting the game in the 59th minute in place of Andrew Dykstra as Melia missed his first minutes of the 2017 season.

Midfielder James Musa missed the draw against Minnesota while with the New Zealand National Team for a friendly against Japan in a friendly match on Friday, Oct. 6 at Toyota Stadium in Toyota, Japan. Musa did not appear in the match as Japan ran out 2-1 winners following Shu Kurata’s late goal.

Melia has started all 36 matches for Sporting Kansas City this year, including five in the club’s run to the 2017 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup title. His 0.78 goals against average in MLS is the second-lowest mark in league history among goalkeepers with at least 30 appearances in a single season. Melia is also second on the MLS charts with 10 shutouts and leads the league with three penalty kick saves.

Lastly, midfielder Kevin Oliveira made his international bow for the Cape Verde National Team in a World Cup Qualifier against Senegal on Saturday, Oct. 7 at Estadio Nacional de Cabo Verde in Praia, the capital of Cape Verde. Oliveira entered the match in the 85th minute as Cape Verde fell to a costly 2-0 defeat that sees them fall to third in their qualifying group with one match remaining. Cape Verde will now need a victory at Burkina Faso on Nov. 6 and Senegal to lose to South Africa for the Blue Sharks to qualify for their first-ever FIFA World Cup.

MLS veteran Dykstra, who has spent time with D.C. United and the Chicago Fire, has split time as Melia’s backup in 2017 alongside 22-year-old Adrian Zendejas, who has made 22 appearances for the Swope Park Rangers. Zendejas has eight shutouts in the 2017 USL season and has posted a 1.00 goals against average. 3

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES PLAYOFF STREAK

Sporting KC’s league-best goalkeeper Tim Melia and his league-best backline continue to be on pace for one of the best defensive season in club history, and the second best defensive campaign in MLS’s 22-year history. Melia had been an ever-present in 2017 until sustaining a hamstring strain during the 1-1 draw with Minnesota United FC at TCF Bank Stadium on Oct. 7.

Sporting KC is looking to become the sixth club in MLS history to make at least seven straight trips to the postseason, while Manager Peter Vermes would be just the fourth coach to lead the same team to seven straight playoff appearances.

Sporting KC has conceded just 25 goals in 31 games - a goals against average of 0.81, while Melia’s goals against average sits at 0.78. The 2010 Real Salt Lake side boasts the best defensive record in league history when the side conceded 20 goals in a 30game season for a goals against average of 0.67. Sporting KC’s record in its previous 21 years of existance was 0.79 - posted in 2012 when Sporting KC finished atop of the Eastern Conference and raised the U.S. Open Cup that year - the club’s first silverware since 2004.

Remarkably, Sporting KC is yet to concede more than two goals in a match this season. Of the 25 goals conceded, eight have come as Sporting KC conceded twice in a win over the Chicago Fire (July 29), a draw with Orlando City SC (May13) and losses to Minnesota United FC (May 7) and Vancouver Whitecaps FC (May 20). The remaining 17 goals conceded have all arrived in single-goal games for Sporting KC’s opposition. Sporting KC is the only team in the league yet to concede three or more goals in a match. The club’s closest defensive challenger in 2017, Toronto FC, have conceded three goals on three occasions this season (June 3, 0-3 at NE ... July 1, 1-3 at FCD ... Sept. 20, 3-5 vs. MTL) as part of their 35 goals allowed in 32 games.

VERMES VERBATIM

Below are Manager Peter Vermes’ remarks on Sporting KC’s 1-1 draw with Minnesota United FC at TCF Bank Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 7.

Should Sporting KC complete the 2017 regular season without conceding three or more goals in a single match, Peter Vermes’ side would become just the fourth team in league history to perform that feat, and the first since 2010. The only teams to also go through an entire season without conceding three or more in a game are the 2003 LA Galaxy (1.12 GAA), 2010 FC Dallas (0.93 GAA) and 2010 Real Salt Lake (0.67 GAA).

On the injury sustained by goalkeeper Tim Melia … “No word yet. They think he got a cramp in there, so we will know more tomorrow morning. If someone has to step up, then someone has to step up. That’s the way it is.”

FOURTH TITLE IN SIX SEASONS

On Diego Rubio scoring and coming back from injury … “He’s been really good for us. He’s creating good partnerships with the guys around him and has found success putting the ball in the back of the net here and there, now we just have to do it a little more.”

Sporting Kansas City lifted their fourth piece of silverware this decade when the club won the 2017 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup on Wednesday, Sept. 20. Sporting KC beat the New York Red Bulls 2-1 at Children’s Mercy Park in the midweek contest to hoist the club’s fourth all-time U.S. Open Cup trophy (2004, 2012, 2015, 2017).

On if he expects Rubio to be a key scorer in the playoffs … “I hope he’s one of them. The big thing for us is with the amount of chances we create, it should be more of a goals scored by committee type of thing. It’s a team concept and not just one guy. There has to be other guys doing that. We had numerous chances tonight and we should’ve had more than one.”

Sporting KC become the first MLS team to win four major trophies over the last six seasons with that victory. The club also maintained their brilliant record in U.S. Open Cup finals, joining Seattle Sounders FC and Chicago Fire as the only four-time champions among MLS outfits. In addition, Manager Peter Vermes is now just the second coach to win three or more U.S. Open Cups to go along with an MLS Cup joined by LA Galaxy head coach Sigi Schmid.

On the challenges of being in the middle of a playoff race while also having to account for players on international duty … “It’s always a difficult situation. You lose a lot of continuity within your team. I’m a big believer that every game is a big one, but obviously at this point in the season everything means a little more due to knowing where everyone stands and who you are going after. I think at this point in the season when guys are gone for qualifiers or national team exhibition games, it’s difficult but you still have to find a way. I think we did enough to walk away with three points.”

Sporting KC saw off five MLS teams on their way to the Final: Minnesota United FC, the Houston Dynamo, FC Dallas, the San Jose Earthquakes and the Red Bulls. The club now receives $250,000 in prize money and a berth in the 2019 Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League, the premier club competition in North America. Sporting KC are third among all MLS clubs in major trophies with seven, having won four U.S. Open Cups (2004, 2012, 2015, 2017), two MLS Cups (2000, 2013) and one Supporters’ Shield (2000). That places the club in rarefied company, as only D.C. United (13) and the LA Galaxy (12) have won more since MLS was founded in 1996.

On if his team did enough to get the win and three points … “I do. I thought for the majority of the game we were playing very good on the ball and did a good job creating chances. We had five clear-cut chances, but [Bobby] Shuttleworth makes a great save on the header from [Roger] Espinoza, but we have to finish that.”

BESLER AND SINOVIC RENEW PARTNERSHIP

After helping Sporting KC record nine of the side’s 10 shutouts in the 2017 MLS season - good for fifth in the league - center back Matt Besler and left back Seth Sinovic have now posted 47 total shutouts in just 128 games where both have started in the regular season. Besler and Sinovic have started 23 of the club’s 31 regular-season games together this season, posting nine of the side’s 10 shutouts.

On if he is expecting a playoff berth next week… “We’d love to. But performing well is one thing, finishing games are a whole different story. I think we’ve shown we can play well this season numerous times but tonight was one of those games we should’ve finished off.”

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 78 shutouts - 11 more than Seattle Sounders FC in second. Besler and Sinovic have started 128 of the 227 games since the trade, posting 47 of the club’s 78 shutouts alongside one another. Individually, Besler leads the league in shutouts since Sinovic joined the club with 64, while Sinovic is third with 56. Besler is also second amongst defensive players in clean sheets during the Opta era (2010-present) with 68, only trailing Real Salt Lake goalkeeper Nick Rimando (76).

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 144 coaching victories in all competitions are the most club history. During his tenure, he has won four major trophies – the 2012, 2015 and 2017 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 115 regular-season wins top the club’s all-time chart and rank sixth 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.
