ROUND

HOUSTON DYNAMO (13-10-11; 50 pts.) vs. SPORTING KANSAS CITY (12-9-13; 49 pts.) Thursday, October 26, 2017 · 8:30 p.m. CDT · BBVA Compass Stadium · Houston, Texas

A RIVALRY RENEWED IN WESTERN CONFERENCE KNOCKOUT ROUND The Houston Dynamo will open their Audi 2017 MLS Cup Playoffs campaign on Thursday night against a familiar foe in Sporting Kansas City. Thursday will be the fourth matchup of the year for the Dynamo and Sporting across all competitions. The two clubs have played to a 1-1-1 mark so far, with Sporting winning 2-0 in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup this summer and the Dynamo capturing a 2-1 victory in league play on Oct. 11, followed by a scoreless draw on Oct. 15. This marks the fifth time the two clubs have faced one another in the postseason, and Houston holds a 3-1 edge in the previous four series. The last time they faced off was in the 2013 MLS Eastern Conference Final, which Sporting Kansas City won 2-1 on aggregate. Houston previously eliminated Sporting in the Eastern Conference Finals in 2011 and 2012, and in the Western Conference Final in 2007. Opening the postseason in Houston is crucial for the Dynamo, as they were one of the league’s toughest teams at home this season, with a record of 12-1-4 at BBVA Compass Stadium. The 12 home wins this year were the most in club history, surpassing the previous record of 11 wins posted in 2012, the club’s first year in the new stadium. Houston has been particularly prolific in front of goal at home this season, scoring 43 goals while only conceding 17, giving them the best home goal differential in the Western Conference this year. The Dynamo head into the playoffs riding a six-game unbeaten streak after defeating the Chicago Fire, 3-0 on Sunday afternoon. Although they finished the season on a high note from a results perspective, the Dynamo suffered a significant loss in terms of personnel when they lost defender A.J. DeLaGarza to a torn ACL in his left knee early in the Chicago match. DeLaGarza was crucial for the Dynamo playing in 30 games and dishing a career-high three assists this season. While revamping the roster over the offseason, a point of emphasis for Dynamo Vice President and General Manager Matt Jordan was to bring in players with championship pedigrees. DeLaGarza and fellow defender Leonardo each won three MLS Cups with the LA Galaxy; left back Dylan Remick played a key role in Seattle Sounders FC's MLS Cup win a year ago; defender Adolfo Machado helped lead Costa Rican giants Deportivo Saprissa to the Primera Division title four times; forward Romell Quioto led Honduran club Olimpia to three Liga Nacional trophies; and forward Alberth Elis won a pair of Liga Nacional titles with Olimpia alongside Quioto. The club hopes that championship experience, along with that of veterans Ricardo Clark and DaMarcus Beasley, will come in handy as the Dynamo aim to capture the club's third MLS Cup in 12 years.

ROUND 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 (115-91-74) and 128 victories in all competitions (145-105-83). 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.

The Dynamo struck quickly, as defender Leonardo headed home a long throw-in from fellow centerback Adolfo Machado 82 seconds into the match. The goal was Leonardo’s second of the year and the fourth of his career, and it was Houston’s fifth goal of the year inside of five minutes.

Forward Romell Quioto put the home side up 2-0 with his seventh goal of the season following a long solo run down the left flank in which he outraced the Chicago back line and slotted a left-footed shot under Chicago goalkeeper Richard Sánchez in the 68th minute on what proved to be his final touch of the day, as he was substituted out following the goal.

In the 75th minute, Colombian forward Mauro Manotas notched his 10th goal of the season when he redirected a cross from forward Andrew Wenger into the back of the net. It marked the first time in club history that the Dynamo have had three double-digit scorers, as Manotas joined Erick Torres (14) and Alberth Elis (10).

Unused Substitutes: Matt Lampson, David Arshakyan, Patrick Doody, Michael Harrington

The Dynamo were dealt a blow just a few minutes into the contest when defender A.J. DeLaGarza, wearing the captain’s armband for the first time with the club, went down clutching his left knee. DeLaGarza was substituted for in the 13th minute, passing the armband to goalkeeper Tyler Deric and giving way to defender Jalil Anibaba.

TEAM HOU CHI

DYNAMO AT KANSAS CITY BOX SCORE

KANSAS CITY, KS. (Sunday, Oct. 15, 2017) – The Houston Dynamo punched their ticket to the Audi 2017 MLS Cup Playoffs with a 0-0 draw at Sporting Kansas City tonight at Children’s Mercy Park. Goalkeeper Tyler Deric was instrumental in the result, coming up with a career-high nine saves on the night to lead the club back into the postseason for the first time since 2013 and eighth time in 12 seasons.

Sporting Kansas City (12-8-13; 49 pts.) 0-0 Houston Dynamo (12-10-11; 47 pts.) MLS Week 33 Sunday, Oct. 15, 2017 – Children’s Mercy Park – Kansas City, Kansas Attendance: 19,083 SCORING SUMMARY: Sporting Kansas City Houston Dynamo

The clean sheet was Deric’s fifth of the season and the 20th of his career. While he came up with a number of stellar saves, perhaps none was as big as the one he came up with in the sixth minute of stoppage time. After Sporting Kansas City midfielder Jimmy Medranda sent in a cross from the left touchline, the ball caromed off of four players and appeared headed into the net, but Deric reacted well and reached around the leg of Sporting midfielder Benny Feilhaber to swat the ball out of danger, literally taking it off of Feilhaber’s boot as he went to touch in the would-be game-winner.

Deric came up with four huge saves in the first half to keep the match scoreless through halftime. In the 15th minute, Sporting Kansas City forward Daniel Salloi cut in on his right foot and fired a low right-footed blast that forced a diving save from the Houston netminder.

Unused Substitutes: Adrian Zendejas, Amer Didic, Gerso Fernandes, Soni Mustivar, Kévin Oliveira, Seth Sinovic

Then in the 34th minute, Deric came up with a massive reaction save to keep the ball out. After a free kick from Sporting Kansas City defender Graham Zusi hit the crossbar, the second ball deflected off a Dynamo defender and caught Deric leaning the wrong way, but he was able to gather and dive to push the ball wide before it could get over the line.

Houston Dynamo: Tyler Deric; A.J.

Deric came up with another big save in the 40th minute to get low and deny a shot from Salloi from 20 yards out. Then just before halftime, he was called upon yet again to come up with a pair of reaction saves. Off of a Kansas City cross in the 45th minute, defender Adolfo Machado attempted to head it away, but sent the ball toward the net instead before Deric parried it away. A minute later, Sporting midfielder Benny Feilhaber cracked a shot from the top of the penalty area, but Deric again got down to block the effort.

Just after intermission, Deric once again came up big. Sporting midfielder Jimmy Medranda slipped Feilhaber in behind the Dynamo back line, and Deric rushed off his line to cut down the angle and stoned Feilhaber’s right-footed shot and quickly pounced on the rebound.

Again in the 58th, Deric was well-positioned to stop a headed shot from Feilhaber after a cross from the byline to the back post. Deric matched his career high with his eighth save of the night in the 75th minute when he stonewalled a volley from Salloi from right of his goal.

Kevin Stott Kermit Quisenberry Craig Lowry Hilario Grajeda Rubiel Vazquez

Although Sporting had more possession and outshot Houston 27-14, the Dynamo were not without their own chances to win the game. Houston’s Honduran connection of forwards Alberth Elis and Romell Quioto nearly combined for a game-winner in the 79th minute. Elis raced down the right touchline before laying off a pass for Quioto inside the penalty area. Quioto’s first touch took him wide of the goal, but he managed a shot that forced a save from Dykstra to keep the game level.

OCTOBER IS ORANGE IN H-TOWN

BACK WHERE WE BELONG

Orange is the color of fall, especially in Houston this year. Not only are the Dynamo back in the postseason for the first time since 2013, but across Interstate 59, the Houston Astros are in the World Series for the second time in club history.

The Houston Dynamo are back in the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs for the first time since 2013, and a look at the club's history shows that the three-year hiatus from postseason play was the exception, rather than the rule, for Dynamo fans.

The Astros borrowed a page from the Dynamo playbook and launched a campaign to "Orange Out" the city of Houston as they started their postseason run. The Dynamo, with their club motto being "Forever Orange," quickly threw their support behind their neighbors.

This year's postseason trip is the club's eighth in 12 years, and Thursday's game will be Houston's 29th in postseason competition. The Dynamo are currently tied with the LA Galaxy for most playoff games played since 2006, and will pass them on Thursday night.

For the next week, if you want to fit in around H-Town, just wear your Orange!

A win would move Houston to within three of the Galaxy's wins total over the last 12 seasons as well.

The Houston Dynamo and Sporting Kansas City are certainly no strangers to one another. Not only did they play twice in the last three games of the regular season, they also faced off in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, where Sporting knocked out the Dynamo in the Round of 16.

Dynamo defender Jalil Anibaba is in his second season with the club, and he may have unknowingly won over legions of fans in H-Town this week when he revealed a unique aspect of his professional career.

Win-or-go-home has been a theme in the Dynamo-Sporting rivalry nearly since the beginning. The clubs have met four times in the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs, with the Dynamo holding a 3-1 series edge, and three times in the Open Cup, where Sporting holds a 2-1 advantage.

Everywhere the California native has played in his Major League Soccer career, trophies have followed - for the other clubs in town, at least.

Houston eliminated Sporting in the 2007 Western Conference Final with a 2-0 win courtesy of goals from Nate Jaqua and Dwayne De Rosario. Four years later, the rivalry was rekinded as the clubs met in the Eastern Conference Final (courtesy of MLS realignment), where Houston again won 2-0 through goals from Andre Hainault and Carlo Costly.

Anibaba was a member of the Chicago Fire when the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup in 2013. That offseason, he was traded to Seattle, and the Seahawks went on to win Super Bowl XLVIII following the 2014 season. In 2015, Anibaba was traded to Sporting Kansas City, and the year ended with the Royals claiming their first World Series title in 30 years.

In 2012, the Dynamo and Sporting played a home-and-home series in the Eastern Conference Final, with Houston winning the first leg 2-0 at BBVA Compass Stadium and Sporting winning 1-0 at Sporting Park as the Dynamo advanced on aggregate goals, 2-1.

Now, with Anibaba playing in Houston, the Astros are in the World Series for the second time in club history and the Rockets are looking to build on an NBA Western Conference Finals run from a year ago. Sports fans all over Houston, you've found your good luck charm!

The clubs met in the Conference Finals for the third year in a row in 2013, and this time Sporting finally exacted a measure of revenge. After a scoreless draw at BBVA Compass Stadium, Sporting captured a 2-1 victory in the return leg to advance to the 2013 MLS Cup.

"THIS IS VICENTE'S TIME"

MULTIPLE SCORING THREATS

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.

Forwards Alberth Elis and Mauro Manotas have each proven to be more than capable goal scorers for the Dynamo as the team pushed for the playoffs behind one of the most potent offensive attacks in the league.

But over the last two-plus 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.

Manotas bagged the third and final goal in Houston's 3-0 season-ending win over the Chicago Fire on Oct. 22, giving him 10 on the season. That tally moved him into a tie for second on the team with Elis, both of whom finished four goals behind Erick Torres' club-record 14 goals.

Since August 1, Sanchez has played 306 minutes and has created seven goals - two of his own and five for teammates. His 2.06 goals-plus-assists per 90 minutes is easily the most in the league over that time span. Player VICENTE SANCHEZ Roland Alberg Kekuta Manneh Tosaint Rickett David Villa Lee Nguyen Ilsinho A.

SPREADING THE WEALTH

37-year-old Dynamo forward Vicente Sanchez has been arguably the most dangerous player in Major League Soccer over the last two-plus months, outshining many rivals several years his junior. Since August 1, Sanchez has created 14 scoring chances in just 306 minutes on the field, an average of 4.12 chances created per 90 minutes of play. That's the third-highest ratio in the league over that time span.

Year 2017 2008 2012 2006 2015 2006 2014 2017 2017 2014

Forwards Erick Torres, Alberth Elis and Mauro Manotas are the first trio in Dynamo history to each score 10 or more goals in the same season. That three-headed scoring monster, along with the seven goals delivered by forward Romell Quioto, gives Houston the most diverse attacks in the league. Houston is the only team in MLS to have three players with 10 or more goals this season, and is the first team since Sporting Kansas City in 2015 to have three or more 10-goal scorers.

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 (44.0 percent average possession, 21st in MLS) backed that up. However, despite not having much of the ball, La Naranja are sixth in the league in scoring. Houston averages a goal every 23.59 minutes of possession, which was the second-lowest ratio of any team in the league.

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.

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. Machado led all MLS players in total clearances with 200. His 1200clearances were nearly 20 greater than the next closest player. Among the top 25 players in clearances, Machado's 81 interceptions were also the most in the league, his 85 headed clearances were the third-most and his 45 tackles won were the fourth-most.

TORRES' GOLDEN FORM NETS CALL-UP Dynamo forward Erick "Cubo" Torres is in the best form of his career this year, with 12 goals in 18 appearances. 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. That sensational form netted the 24-year-old a long-awaited call-up by the Mexican National Team for the 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup. Torres has represented his country on the international stage several times at the youth level, including at the 2016 Rio Olympics, but the Gold Cup will be his first senior international tournament. Torres started and went 90 minutes in Mexico's 0-0 draw with Jamaica on Thursday, July 13. Mexico topped Group C with a 2-0-1 record. Against Honduras in the Quarterfinals on Thursday night, Torres came on as a substitute in the 75th minute and helped Mexico see out a 1-0 win. In Mexico's 0-1 semifinal loss to Jamaica at the Rose Bowl on Sunday night, Torres again got the start and went 45 minutes, picking up a yellow card for a hard tackle in the first half. Torres now has seven caps for Mexico at the senior level with one goal - the game-winning strike in a friendly against Panama on Oct. 12, 2014.

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 were one of the league's best teams at home this season, with an 12-1-3 record. One of the biggest keys to that success so far has been the Dynamo's ability to jump out to early leads at home.

At first glance, the Dynamo's 13-10-11 record would indicate a team around the middle of the league pack. However, a look into the numbers shows that the Dynamo were one of the league's most dangerous teams throughout the year; the difference in their win-loss results was simply in their finishing. Houston created 469 total shots this season, which ranked eighth in the league: 184 in 13 victories, 125 in 10 losses and 161 in 10 draws. But looking at goals is another matter: 35 in wins, just five in losses and 14 in draws. That means that the Dynamo averaged a goal for every 4.84 shots in wins but it took a whopping 25 shots to generate each goal when they lose. Dynamo fans will be hoping the boys put their shooting boots on when they take the field on Thursday night! Wins (13) Category Losses (10) 14.15.................................

HOUSTON'S DYNAMIC ATTACK

In nine of Houston's 17 home games, the Dynamo 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 scored first in 14 of their 34 games, including 11 out of 17 times at home, and were 10-0-4 when they did so. 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. 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.

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 on Wednesday, Oct. 11 in Houston's 2-1 win over Sporting Kansas City at BBVA Compass Stadium, he cracked the league's all-time Top 10. Clark made his 316th career start and tied current Dynamo assistant coach Davy Arnaud and Pablo Mastroeni for 10th all-time. With a start last Sunday in Houston's 0-0 draw at Sporting, Clark passed Arnaud and Mastroeni for sole possession of 10th all-time.

CABEZAS STRIKING THE RIGHT NOTES 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. In his first season with the Dynamo, Cabezas led the club in tackles (102), tackles won (77) and passes attempted (1,052); and his 86.41 pass completion percentage was second on the squad among players with at least 50 attempts. He also ranked second on the team in interceptions (52) and was fifth in clearances (46).

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.

AUDI 2017 MLS CUP PLAYOFFS INFORMATION QUALIFICATION The six teams from each conference who finish the regular season with the most points qualify for the playoffs to bring the total field to 12 participants, two more than the number that qualified from 2011-14. SEEDING AND KNOCKOUT ROUND The top two teams in each conference automatically qualify directly to the conference semifinals, a week-long break that serves as a reward for regular-season performance. Meanwhile, the other four teams in each conference face a quick turnaround for the Knockout Round, which pits the No. 3 and No. 6 seeds and the No. 4 and No. 5 seeds in winner-take-all matches hosted by the higher seed. Away goals do not count as a tiebreaker in the Knockout Round. RESEEDING FOR THE CONFERENCE SEMIS When the field has been trimmed to eight teams, four per conference, the Knockout Round winners are re-seeded ahead of the Conference Semifinals based on regularseason performance. The lowest remaining seed in each conference will play the No. 1 seed, while the No. 2 seed takes on the other team in Conference Semifinal matches set for Oct. 29 and Oct. 31. For example, if the No. 6 seed sprung an upset against the No. 3 seed and the No. 5 seed did the same against the No. 4 seed, the conference semifinals would pit the No. 1 seed against the No. 6 seed and the No. 2 seed against the No. 5 seed.

#HOUvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS (REGULAR SEASON)

Sporting Kansas City opens the Audi 2017 MLS Cup Playoffs with a trip to take on the Houston Dynamo at BBVA Compass Stadium in the Knockout Round. It’s the third straight season that Sporting KC has opened the postseason with a Knockout Round contest on the road, having fallen to the New York Red Bulls (2014), Portland Timbers (2015) and Seattle Sounders FC (2016) on each prior occasion. Sporting KC has faced Houston three times in the 2017 season across all competitions, going 1-1-1. Peter Vermes’ side won the first match 2-0 at BBVA Compass Stadium in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Round of 16 behind goals from Ike Opara and Gerso. Sporting KC would end up winning the tournament by topping the Red Bulls in the Final at Children’s Mercy Park on Sept. 20. The two sides then met twice in the space of five days earlier in October. The first of the two games took place at BBVA Comapss Stadium on Oct. 11 in a match rescheduled from Aug. 26 due to Hurricane Harvey. Jimmy Medranda’s long-range strike gave Sporting KC the lead before Houston hit back in the second half through Tomas Martinez and an Erik Palmer-Brown own goal to take all three points. The final meeting saw both sides pick up a point after a frustrating 0-0 draw at Children’s Mercy Park on Oct. 15. Sporting KC took 27 shots but were unable to find the net as Houston goalkeeper Tyler Deric posted a career-high nine saves. Sporting KC has gone 5-10-12 against the Dynamo in MLS regular-season matches, while the club is 2-3-1 in the postseason. The last time the two met in the MLS Cup Playoffs in the 2013 Eastern Conference Championship, with Sporting KC claiming a 2-1 win on aggregate before going on to beat Real Salt Lake on penalty kicks in the 2013 MLS Cup Final. #HOUvSKC: Recent Meetings (HOU leads 10-5-12 in regular season)

Sporting KC Game Notes | October 26, 2017 at Houston Dynamo | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes KNOCKOUT ROUND LOOMS

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES Ilie is one of five outfield players in club history to appear in 33 matches, with C.J. Sapong the only outfield player to appear in all 34 matches, doing so in 2011. Jimmy Medranda also makes that list, having appeared in 33 of the 34 matches this regular season.

For the fourth consecutive season, Sporting Kansas City enters the MLS Cup Playoffs with a Knockout Round match away from home. This time, fifth-seeded Sporting KC will travel to Texas to take on the fourth-seeded Houston Dynamo at BBVA Compass Stadium on Thursday night with kickoff set for 8:30 p.m. CT.

Ilie has started 38 games in all competitions for the club, playing every minute of every match he’s played in. Of his 38 starts, 33 have come in MLS regular-season play, with the other five coming as he played all 510 minutes in Sporting KC’s triumphant Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup campaign.

Sporting KC last three postseason exits have all felt remarkably familiar, with elimination via extremely narrow margins in games where the side has performed well. First, Sporting KC traveled to Red Bull Arena to face the New York Red Bulls in 2014 and took the lead through Dom Dwyer only to concede two goals in the final 15 minutes from Bradley Wright-Phillips to fall 2-1.

The only match Ilie has failed to appear in this season across all competitions was a 1-0 defeat to Seattle Sounders FC at CenturyLink Field on Aug. 12 - three days after a gruelling penalty shootout victory over the San Jose Earthquakes in the U.S. Open Cup Semifinals - where James Musa stepped into his role and played the full match with Ilie available off the bench.

Next came a devastating penalty shootout loss to the Portland Timbers at Providence Park in 2015. Rodney Wallace gave the Timbers the lead only for Kevin Ellis to equalize with three minutes remaining to take the game to extra time. Krisztian Nemeth scored a stunning goal to make the score 2-1 in Sporting KC’s favor before Maxi Urruti knotted the game up in the 118th minute, leaving the game to be decided by penalty kicks. Sporting KC had chances to win the shootout with Ellis striking the post before Saad Abdul-Salaam’s effort hit the left post and rolled across the line before rebounding off the right post and coming out. Eventually Portland would win it 7-6 when Sporting KC’s substitute goalkeeper Jon Kempin saw his penalty saved.

OPARA CONTINUES MEMORABLE CAMPAIGN

While Sporting Kansas City fell to a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium on Sunday afternoon, dropping from fourth to fifth place in the Western Conference, center back Ike Opara got himself back on the scoresheet for the first time since an extremeley productive month of June. Opara dove to nod in Graham Zusi’s low free kick in the 89th minute of the match to make the score 2-1, bringing his goal tally to three on the season in MLS play, and five in all competitions. All four of his other goals came in June, as he scored game-winners in MLS action against Minnesota United FC (June 3) and the LA Galaxy (June 24), and further game-winning headers in the U.S. Open Cup Round of 32 and 16 against Minnesota United (June 14) and the Houston Dynamo (June 28). His bicycle-kick goal against the Galaxy was voted the club’s Goal of the Year.

The most recent and equally heartbreaking exit came against Seattle Sounders FC at CenturyLink Field in 2016. Despite dominating the majority of the match and outshooting Seattle on their home turf, Sporting KC conceded a dubious goal from Nelson Valdez in the 88th minute as he nodded home Joevin Jones’ cross while standing in an offside position to see his side advance. Both Portland and Seattle used their narrow victories over Sporting KC as a springboard to go on and win the MLS Cup in 2015 and 2016, while Sporting KC has not hosted a playoff match since hoisting the 2013 MLS Cup after beating Real Salt Lake on penalty kicks at Children’s Mercy Park.

By scoring five in all competitions this season, Opara set a new single-season high for goals, topping his previous record of four that he tallied during his first year in Kansas City in 2013. Opara has also set career-highs in games played (35), games started (35) and minutes played (3,192) in all competitions for Sporting KC this season. He now has 12 goals and three assists in 99 overall games for the club.

DEALING WITH THE DYNAMO, AGAIN

Sporting Kansas City is set to take on the Houston Dynamo in the Audi 2017 MLS Cup Playoffs Knockout Round this Thursday night at BBVA Compass Stadium. The two sides are thoroughly versed on one another, having already met twice this month on Oct. 11 and Oct. 15.

ZUSI MAKES HISTORY FROM RIGHT BACK

Sporting Kansas City midfielder-turned-defender Graham Zusi had a historic year for the club, playing every minute of his season at right back. Prior to this year, the U.S. National Team veteran had played primarily as a playmaking winger or in central midfield.

Sporting KC topped Houston at BBVA Compass Stadium in the U.S. Open Cup Round of 16 on June 28, with Ike Opara’s and Gerso’s second-half goals doing the damage. Sporting KC returned to Houston on Oct. 11 in a match rescheduled from Aug. 26 due to Hurricane Harvey and took the lead through Jimmy Medranda, only for Tomas Martinez and an Erik Palmer-Brown own goal allowing the Dynamo to take all three points.

With 60 chances created in the 2017 regular season, Zusi created the most chances of any defender in a single season during the Opta era (2010-present), all during his first year playing in a new position full time. Zusi topped several records set by the New England Revolution’s Chris Tierney - widely seen as one of the league’s best chance creators from the backline over the last decade - who created 58 chances in 2015, 48 in 2011 and 2016 and 44 chances in 2012 and 2013.

The third and most recent meeting took place at Children’s Mercy Park on Oct. 15 when Sporting KC outshot the Dynamo 27-14, with a 7-2 edge in shots on target, but were unable to find the breakthrough as Houston goalkeeper Tyler Deric posted a career-high nine saves.

Zusi finished the season with a team-high eight assists - a figure he has only surpassed once in his career when he recorded 15 assists in 2012 - including one on Ike Opara’s consolation goal in the 2-1 defeat to Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium. The 31-yearold now has 29 goals and 70 assists in 254 appearances in all competitions for the club.

Sporting KC has a lengthy playoff history with the Dynamo, with the two sides facing each other six times since the Houston franchise moved from San Jose in 2006. The Dynamo won the first two meetings, eliminating Sporting KC from the postseason in 2007 and 2011. In 2012, Houston won the first leg of the Eastern Conference Semifinal 2-0 only for Sporting KC to respond in the second leg with a 1-0 win, though the Dynamo advanced 2-1 on aggregate.

MELIA SETS NEW SINGLE-SEASON GAA RECORD

With the conclusion of the 2017 MLS regular season on Sunday afternoon, Sporting Kansas City goalkeeper Tim Melia confirmed his status as having one of the best goalkeeping campaigns in club history. Melia ended the season with a goals against average of 0.78, beating out Jimmy Nielsen’s old record for a single season of 0.79 that was posted in 2012.

Peter Vermes’ men finally got the better of the Texans in 2013. Following a 0-0 draw at BBVA Compass Stadium in the first leg of the Eastern Conference Championship, Sporting KC claimed a 2-1 victory at Children’s Mercy Park in the second leg to advance to the 2013 MLS Cup Final where the club would win the title.

Melia, who has missed the last three matches with a hamstring strain suffered in the 1-1 draw at Minnesota United FC on Oct. 7, started the first 36 matches for Sporting Kansas City’s campaign this year in all competitions, 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 tied for second in MLS with 10 shutouts and leads the league with three penalty saves.

ILIE ENTERS RECORD BOOKS

Sporting KC midfielder Ilie, who was named the club’s Newcomer of the Year, completed his first regular season with Sporting KC by playing the full 90 minutes against Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium on Sunday night - meaning that he played every minute of his 33 starts this season in MLS play. The 26-year-old Spaniard became the first outfield player in club history to start 33 games in one season, with only legendary goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen surpassing him by starting all 34 matches in 2012 and 2013. By playing in 2,970 minutes in 2017, Ilie also became the new single-season minutes leader among outfield players (with, again, Nielsen leading the way with 3,060 minutes played in 2012 and 2013). He edged out current manager Peter Vermes and former defender Nick Garcia, who both played 2,915 minutes in the club’s Supporters’ Shield and MLS Cup winning season in 2000.

MLS veteran Dykstra, who has spent time with D.C. United and the Chicago Fire, has stepped in during Melia’s absence, starting the three matches since the injury - a 2-1 defeat against the Houston Dynamo at BBVA Compass Stadium on Oct. 11, a 0-0 draw with the Dynamo at Children’s Mercy Park on Oct. 15 and a 2-1 defeat to Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium on Oct. 22.

LEAGUE-BEST DEFENSE FALLS JUST SHORT OF RECORD

PLAYOFF STREAK

Sporting KC conceded just 29 goals in 34 games - a goals against average of 0.85, while Melia’s individual 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 30-game season for a goals against average of 0.67. The club’s 2017 goals against average sits second in club history, as 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.

Sporting Kansas City’s league-best goalkeeper Tim Melia and his league-best backline fell just short of posting the best defensive seasons in club 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 and missed his first game of the year in the 2-1 loss to the Houston Dynamo on Oct. 11.

By clinching a berth in the 2017 MLS Cup Playoffs, Sporting KC became just the sixth club in MLS history to make at least seven straight trips to the postseason, while Manager Peter Vermes is now just the fourth coach to lead the same team to seven straight playoff appearances.

Remarkably, Sporting KC went the entire 2017 campaign without conceding more than two goals in a match. Of the 29 goals conceded, 12 came 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), Vancouver Whitecaps FC (May 20), the Houston Dynamo (Oct. 11) and Real Salt Lake (Oct. 22). The remaining 17 goals conceded all arrived in single-goal games for Sporting KC’s opposition. Sporting KC was the only team in the league that did not concede three or more goals in a match this season. 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 37 goals allowed in 34 games.

VERMES VERBATIM

Below are Manager Peter Vermes’ remarks on Sporting KC’s 2-1 defeat to Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium on Sunday, Oct. 22.

By completing the 2017 regular season without conceding three or more goals in a single match, Peter Vermes’ side became just the fourth team in league history to perform that feat, and the first since 2010. The only other 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 match... “They wanted it more than us. The first half especially we were second to everything. They got the early goal and I don’t think we ever responded in the first half. Second half we did, we got a lot of chances and pulled one back but it was too late. We should have pulled one back earlier with the number of chances we had around the goal, but we didn’t. They deserve it. They deserve the three points today.”

FOURTH TITLE IN SIX SEASONS

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 what they can take from this game going into playoffs... “That you can’t play like this if you want to keep going in the playoffs. And I’m not being sarcastic or facetious, I’m being serious. First of all in this league if you don’t come with effort you are never going to win. So, maybe this was really good opportunity for us to get a wake-up call into the playoffs that you can’t do that because you’re done. I know that’s what we can’t do.”

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 the 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 seeing Houston in the first round... “We’ve seen them three times this year, once in the open cup and twice in the league. We both won once and we tied once. It’s not like we’re far removed from each other. It’s going to be a real battle. They can be a very explosive team if you allow them to be. It’s going to be a little bit like this game and if you don’t come with the effort, then you’re cooked.”

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.

On losing the last three years in the knockout rounds... “In every one of those games we played well. I think last year I wish we had VAR, because I think it would have helped us. And I’m being both sarcastic and maybe trying to be a little humorous because I think it would have changed the game immensely. All three of those games we played extremely well. Each one we had a chance to win. We didn’t play poorly.”

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.

BESLER AND SINOVIC RENEW PARTNERSHIP

On finishing fifth in the West this year... “Not satisfied at all. The fact that we’re not one or two is very disappointing for me. I’m going to speak for myself and say that’s very disappointing. We were in a good place for a good portion of the year and for us to finish off at fifth place is very disappointing, underachieved for sure.”

After helping Sporting KC record nine of the side’s 11 shutouts in the 2017 MLS season - good for a tie for fourth in the league - center back Matt Besler and left back Seth Sinovic have now posted 47 total shutouts in just 130 games where both have started in the regular season. Besler and Sinovic started 24 of the club’s 34 regular-season games together this season, posting nine of the side’s 11 shutouts. 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 79 shutouts - nine more than Seattle Sounders FC in second. Besler and Sinovic have started 129 of the 230 games since the trade, posting 47 of the club’s 79 shutouts alongside one another. Individually, Besler leads the league in shutouts since Sinovic joined the club with 65, while Sinovic is third with 56. Besler is also second amongst defensive players in clean sheets during the Opta era (2010-present) with 69, only trailing Real Salt Lake goalkeeper Nick Rimando (76).

Sporting KC Game Notes | October 26, 2017 at Houston Dynamo | 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 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 seven 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. He has coached 333 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.

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.

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.
