COLUMBUS CREW vs SPORTING KANSAS CITY COLUMBUS CREW STADIUM, Columbus, Ohio October 7, 2012 (WEEK 31, MLS Game #301) 4 p.m. ET (FS-OH; KSMO) A massive match in the Eastern Conference playoff race is ahead on Sunday afternoon when the Columbus Crew play host to Sporting Kansas City at Crew Stadium. The Crew come into the match outside the top five in the division and the playoff spots, but trail Houston by just a single point following their late 3-2 win against Philadelphia last weekend.

Sporting became the first East team to claim a berth in the MLS Cup Playoffs with their 2-0 home win against Chicago last Friday night.

Arrieta took the pass in the penalty area, shrugged off Lawrence Olum’s attempted tackle and fired past Jimmy Nielsen from 12 yards.  Then in the 34th minute, Arrieta corralled Zusi’s errant back pass in space in Columbus’ attacking third and sent a blast in from distance to make it 2-1.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-2-1-3): Jimmy Nielsen - Michael Harrington, Lawrence Olum (Neven Markovic 84), Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic - Paulo Nagamura, Jacob Peterson (Korede Aiyegbusi 71) - Graham Zusi - Kei Kamara, Teal Bunbury, Bobby Convey (Julio Cesar 64).  COLUMBUS CREW (4-2-3-1): Andy Gruenebaum - Sebastian Miranda, Carlos Mendes, Chad Marshall, Josh Williams - Chris Birchall, Cole Grossman (sent off 95+) - Justin Meram (Ethan Finlay 72), Eddie Gaven, Dilly Duka (Tony Tchani 84) - Jairo Arrieta (Julius James 98+).

MLS GAME INFORMATION

COLUMBUS CREW The Columbus Crew came back for a crucial victory in the playoff hunt, scoring a late goal for a 3-2 win against Philadelphia Union on Saturday evening at Crew Stadium. The Crew remain in sixth place in the Eastern Conference with 48 points from 31 games, one point behind fifth-place Houston.

LAST MATCH  The Crew were ahead at halftime thanks to a pair of quick goals late in the opening stanza, both from Jairo Arrieta. First, in the 45th minute, Arrieta got on the end of a drilled cross from right back Sebastián Miranda, chested the ball to the ground six yards left of goal and finished neatly.  Then, five minutes into stoppage time, a long goal kick from Crew goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum was misjudged by the Union defense and Arrieta quick to gather it at the top of the penalty area before unleashing another left-footed shot that went past Union goalkeeper Zac MacMath.  Union pulled a goal back in the 65th minute when Danny Cruz converted a penalty kick awarded after Gruenebaum took down substitute Antoine Hoppenot. Then another Union substitute, Jack McInerney, got on the end of a pass from fellow second-half addition Roger Torres in the 86th minute to tie the score, sticking his foot out and pushing the ball inside the left post.  But barely a minute later, the Crew hit for the winner. After the ball pinged around the Union penalty area, a sliding pass from Josh Williams found Milovan Mirosevic in front of goal and he slotted home, and despite a hint of offside, the goal stood for the late winner.  Crew head coach Robert Warzycha made one change to the team that saw the Chicago Fire come back for a 2-1 win at Toyota Park. Chris Birchall came into the midfield for Emilio Renteria.  COLUMBUS CREW (4-2-3-1): Andy Gruenebaum - Sebastian Miranda, Chad Marshall, Julius James (Eric Gehrig 80), Josh Williams - Danny O'Rourke, Milovan Mirosevic - Chris Birchall, Federico Higuain, Eddie Gaven (Justin Meram 86) - Jairo Arrieta (Emilio Renteria 66).

TEAM NEWS  The win was the fifth in a row at Crew Stadium for Columbus, and extended their current home unbeaten streak to seven games. Two of their final three games will be at Crew Stadium.  “I think we responded pretty quickly and that was the key. Giving up two goals like that in the second half is not something we usually do, but it was a very important game for us and for Philadelphia obviously,” said Crew head coach Robert Warzycha. “We knew a loss for them would have been the end of the playoffs, and sometimes there are games like this. It was a battle on the field.”  Said goalscorer Milovan Mirosevic: “Maybe if the game finishes like that, we’re out of the playoffs already. We have to be more careful.”  With the full three points, the Crew maintained contact with the Houston Dynamo in the chase for fifth place in the Eastern Conference. The Dynamo still lead the Crew by one point with three games remaining for both teams.  “We're not going to be safe and secure until we take care of our business each and every game and control our own destiny,” said goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum. “We took a big step tonight. Obviously, giving up two goals to tie the game isn't acceptable at home, and we're going to have to work that out. A win is a win, and we'll take it and we'll move on.”  Jairo Arrieta recorded his third two-goal game since coming to MLS. Arrieta has a goal or an assist over the last four games, with three goals and two assists in that stretch.  “I think he was very effective. He scored two goals in the first half and had another chance in the second half.

We debated whether or not to take him off. He was limping more and more and we had fresh guys on the bench, so we decided to put them on the field,” said Warzycha.  For a second consecutive match and the fourth time in the last five games, the Crew allowed multiple goals in a game. They are 2-3-0 in that stretch.  “You look at the win first, but there’s definitely stuff we need to sort out,” center back Chad Marshall said. “We didn’t play well in the second half. You don’t want to give up a two-goal lead for sure.” Added Josh Williams: “The first half of the year we were one of the tops in goal against. It seems like we’ve been on a constant slide here. This week we’ll work to shore up the back line.”  Both assists the Crew recorded came from fullbacks – Sebastian Miranda on the opener, Williams on the winner.  “I think it's natural for players to go forward. We don't stop them from doing it. On the last play I think we were desperate, because we needed to push forward as far as we could. We had to push for the goal, we only had four minutes, and we didn't know there were going to be six minutes of extra time,” said Warzycha. “I’m happy that [Josh Williams] went forward. That’s not something we designed for the game. If there is space to move forward, we ask for the defender to do that every single time.”  With Dilly Duka held out of the team because of a calf injury, Chris Birchall made his first start in four games, since Sept. 15, on the right side of midfield.

MLS GAME INFORMATION

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City clinched their berth in the MLS Cup Playoffs, defeating the Chicago Fire 2-0 on Friday evening at Livestrong Sporting Park. Sporting are in first place in the Eastern Conference, with 58 points from 31 matches.

LAST MATCH  Sporting took the lead in the 11th minute. Kei Kamara sent a cross into the penalty area from the right corner, and Graham Zusi, crossing from the left side, one-timed the ball into the lower right corner.  The Fire went a man down when left back Gonzalo Segares drew his second yellow, and Chicago manager Frank Klopas was also shown a straight red by referee Chris Penso.  Zusi applied the coup de grace six minutes into second-half stoppage time. As Chicago pushed up in search of the equalizer, he juked his way into position, then fired just inside the right post from the top of the area.  Sporting KC goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen had to make just one save all night, an easy stop of Dominic Oduro's set-piece header in the 68th minute.  Sporting head coach Peter Vermes made three changes to the team that gained a scoreless draw with the Montréal Impact at Stade Saputo. Chance Myers came into the back four for Michael Harrington, and Paulo Nagamura and Roger Espinoza entered the side in place of Oriol Rosell and Jacob Peterson.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-3-3): Jimmy Nielsen - Chance Myers, Lawrence Olum, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic – Paulo Nagamura, Julio Cesar, Roger Espinoza - Kei Kamara, C.J. Sapong, Graham Zusi.

TEAM NEWS  Sporting maintained their advantage atop the Eastern Conference table and homefield advantage throughout the MLS Cup Playoffs in the East, and also maintained contact with the San Jose Earthquakes in the bid for the Supporters’ Shield and the chance to host MLS Cup.  “Every time we're put in a position where we've had to get certain results, we've done a really good job of getting them,” KC manager Peter Vermes said. “I like our style. I like the fact that we're locked in. I like the fact that no matter who we put in there or take out, those guys all have a connection to the game. The performances have been good, but the results are what we've been very good at getting at the right times.”  Sporting have not allowed a goal in three consecutive games, extended their current undefeated run to nine league games in the win, 10 in all competitions (including the win in the U.S. Open Cup Final).  “We have the least amount of goals scored against us in the league and that’s a commitment to the way that the guys will compete for every role on the field. You can say that, but it’s another thing to do that, and you can watch the guys, they really do that,” said Vermes. “It’s not just at home, but it’s also away and that’s a great attribute for a team to have, especially when you’re going into the end of the season and into playoffs.”  It was the 14th shutout for goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen, tied for the second-highest single season total in MLS history (KC’s Tony Meola had 16 in 2000).  “This is one of those games again where I absolutely cannot take any credit for the shutout,” said Nielsen. “We did an awesome job defensively, and I thought we were very smart with the ball.”  Graham Zusi hit for his second career two-goal game, his first having come last Aug. 17 vs. Portland. Zusi is still tied for the MLS lead with 14 assists with LA’s Landon Donovan.  Zusi has two goals and two assists over the last five games, and has been involved with a goal or an assist in nine of SKC’s last 13 goals.  “The great thing about this team is anyone can take the spotlight at any time,” said forward Kei Kamara. “We took the pressure off each other tonight. With Zusi being known as somebody who usually sets things up for us, [the other team] doesn’t always expect him to score goals. But he’s a great finisher.”  Though he was available, center back Aurelien Collin was held out of the team, his spot in central defense filled

by Lawrence Olum for a second consecutive match.  “[Olum’s] biggest contribution to the game for us all the time is his reading of the game defensively and his ability to plug the holes, and then he has the other added benefit which is he’s fantastic on the field, whether it’s in the middle of the field or on set pieces and he was very good defensively for us for sure,” Vermes said. “I like the way he played so we continued with the same thing, and obviously another shutout, so he’s doing well.  Said Nielsen: “He's very calm with the ball. Never panics. He's very good playing the ball out of the back, he's very good in the back. It's a very, very good situation for a coach to have three good center backs. He proves, every time he gets thrown in there, that he can handle this level easily.”

TODAY’S MATCH The Columbus Crew welcomes Eastern Conference leader Sporting Kansas Cit, today, in another crucial match for the playoff race. The Black & Gold looks to extend its home unbeaten streak to eight games with a playoff spot on the line.

It is “Boot Breast Cancer” night presented by OhioHealth and the Crew will join MLS W.O.R.K.S., Major League Soccer’s community outreach initiative, and its partners, in raising awareness for cancer research. The first 10,000 fans through the gates will receive a pink rally towel courtesy of OhioHealth and there will be a human ribbon on the field at half time.

In addition Crew jerseys will feature a pink MLS W.O.R.K.S. ribbon patch and several players will wear pink wristbands and shoe laces. The match will be played with a commemorative pink adidas PRIME match ball while players will use pink sideline towels provided by Gatorade.

The match comes on the heels of the thrilling 3-2 win over Philadelphia, last Saturday, Sept. 29, in which Jairo Arrieta recorded his third two-goal performance of the season and Milovan Mirosevic notched a late game-winner, keeping the Crew alive in the playoff race.

This is the third and final regular season meeting between the clubs. The Black & Gold succumbed to Kansas City 2-0 on July 14 at Crew Stadium, and defeated Sporting KC 2-1 at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park two weeks later, with another brace by Arrieta. The Crew owns the all-time regular season advantage with a 21-19-5 record (12-9-3 at home).

Since meeting the Crew last July, Sporting KC has continued to excel, going undefeated while posting a 6-0-3 record in that time. More notably, Sporting has won the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, defeating three-time champion Seattle Sounders 3-2 in a penalty shootout.

Sporting KC is led by former Crew forward Kei Kamara, who has 11 goals on the season. Fans will also recognize Honduran International Roger Espinoza, who helped the Ohio State Buckeyes reach the 2007 NCAA Men’s College Cup final, losing to Wake Forest University 2-1.

Next, the Crew returns to action Saturday, Oct. 20, as it travels to RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C., to face D.C. United at 7:30 p.m., after a bye week to allow for international fixtures. The Black & Gold will return home for Fan Appreciation Day and African Heritage Day, on Sunday, Oct. 28, as it hosts Toronto FC in the final match of the regular season at 4 p.m.

CREW RESERVES DRAW PHILADELPHIA UNION 3-3 SUNDAY The MLS Reserve League returned to Crew Stadium on Sunday, Sept. 30, as the Black & Gold took on the Philadelphia Union reserves, The match ended in a 3-3 draw with Emilio Renteria, Justin Meram and Olman Vargas tallying for the Crew. The result brings the Crew to a 6-2-1 record with 19 points. The Black & Gold will need to win its final match at D.C. United on Sunday, Oct. 21, to retain the MLS Reserve League title.

Swanson will spend the next four months living and breathing soccer while taking classes to stay current with his school curriculum. The 15-year-old Grove City native hopes his decision will help him secure a spot in next year’s U-17 World Cup. “It’s a great opportunity. It was kind of hard to pass up,” Swanson said. “The [FIFA U-17] World Cup is next year in Dubai. I would like to make that roster, hopefully. If I don’t, I hope I just learn every day in training in that environment with that pro mentality.”

Sporting Kansas City defeated the Chicago Fire 2-0.

Sporting Kansas City is now 17-7-7 on the season and remains in first place in the Eastern Conference with 58 points, five more than second place the New York Red Bulls and the Chicago Fire.

Sporting Kansas City’s 58 points are second most in MLS, three points fewer than the San Jose Earthquakes.

Sporting Kansas City is now unbeaten in their last nine MLS matches. The streak is the longest active unbeaten streak in MLS currently and surpassed the longest undefeated streak by an MLS team this season.

Sporting KC still have the most wins (17) and best goal differential (+1 4) of all teams in the Eastern Conference this season.

Sporting Kansas City is now 14-2-3 when scoring the first goal in 2012.

With the win, Sporting Kansas City snapped Chicago’s four-game winning streak, the Fire’s longest winning streak in seven years.

Prior to the match-up, the Fire had scored two or more goals in each of their last eight games.

Graham Zusi scored the first goal of the match, marking his first goal in seven games. Zusi’s last goal was scored on August 11 when Sporting Kansas City defeated D.C. United 2-1.

Kei Kamara earned the assist on Zusi’s first goal, marking his sixth during the 2012 season, which matches his single-season career high previously set in 2010, his first full season in a Kansas City uniform.

Kamara’s game-winning assist moves him into a tie for ninth place on Sporting KC’s all-time chart with seven.

Zusi also netted Sporting Kansas City’s second goal of the night.

The goal was the latest scored in League play at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park since it opened in June 2011.

With the brace, Zusi now has five goals on the season, matching last year’s single-season career high, and 11 goals in his MLS career during regular season play.

Zusi’s multi-goal game was the third of his career and ties him for 10th on Sporting KC’s all-time multi-goal game chart.

Despite the loss, the Chicago Fire’s five road wins this season mark the second most wins on the road in the East, behind only Sporting Kansas City’s eight.

The all-time series between Sporting Kansas City and the Columbus Crew is 19-21-5 in favor of the Crew.

Sporting Kansas City is 9-12-3 on the road against the Columbus Crew.

Sunday’s match-up marks the third match between the two clubs during the 2012 regular season and second match at Columbus Crew Stadium.

Sporting Kansas City’s 17 victories are the most victories earned during a single-season in the club’s history surpassing their previous benchmark (16) set in 2000 when the club won the Supporters’ Shield and MLS Cup title.

Graham Zusi leads the League with 14 assists this season. Zusi is tied with Mauro Rosales and Landon Donovan with five gamewinning assists in 2012.

Zusi has notched at least one goal or one assist in seven of the last 10 games he has played for Sporting Kansas City.

Zusi is one of six MLS players with seven or more assists in both 2011 and 2012. The others are 2011 MVP finalists Mauro Rosales, Dwayne De Rosario and Brad Davis, as well as David Beckham and Patrick Nyarko.

Zusi’s next game-winning assist will see him set the club record for most in a single-season in club history with six. He would become just the second player in the last 10 years to record six or more game-winning assists, along with David Beckham (7 in 2011).

Sporting Kansas City has allowed 25 goals in 31 matches for a 0.81 goals against average, the best defensive mark in MLS. Sporting Kansas City is 23-2-7 all-time with the backline of Chance Myers, Seth Sinovic, Matt Besler and Aurelien Collin starting in defense in all competition.

Sporting Kansas City is unbeaten in the last nine games Chance Myers started (6-0-3).

Goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen is the only Sporting KC player to have played every minute of the 2012 MLS regular season.

Nielsen’s 0.81 goals against average is currently the best singleseason mark in club history, leading Tony Meola’s historic 2000 season (0.92), in which he won MLS MVP and Goalkeeper of the Year.

Nielsen’s 31 shutouts are the second most in MLS since 2010, trailing only Nick Rimando.

Sporting Kansas City leads MLS with 508 shots, while allowing the fewest shots against (295).

The club has led MLS in shots in five of the past seven seasons, finishing first in shots in 2006 (408), 2007 (420), 2010 (393) and 2011 (488). Kansas City were also League leaders in shots in 2002 and the inaugural 1996 campaign, and lead MLS in all-time shots taken with 7,142.

Kei Kamara is one of only four players in MLS with nine or more goals in each of the last three seasons, along with Alvaro Saborio, Chris Wondolowski and Fredy Montero.

Kamara leads MLS with 130 shots and 48 shots on goal in 2012.

Sporting KC has won their last 18 matches in MLS competition (including playoffs) when leading at the 75-minute mark.

Sporting KC has earned 27 points on the road this season with an 8-4-3 record, the best mark away from home in MLS this season and the most points by the club away from home in team history.

Since 2000, only three MLS teams have earned more than 27 points on the road in a single season.

Sporting Kansas City’s eight wins on the road in regulation is the most in team history.

Sporting Kansas City Game Notes | October 7, 2012 vs Columbus Crew| www.SportingKC.com

Sporting Kansas City News, Notes and headlines RESULTS | Sporting Kansas City currently sits in first place of the Eastern Conference with a record of 17-7-7 (58 points). The team had a historic start to 2012, garnering seven straight wins to begin the season. However, Kansas City experienced a slight decrease in their momentum losing three games in a row before earning a draw against Western Conference foe Colorado Rapids at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.

The momentum was back in Kansas City’s favor as the team won two Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup games against Orlando City SC and Colorado Rapids and added two MLS victories against the San Jose Earthquakes and Toronto FC. Sporting KC then went on the road and earned a tie at CenturyLink Field against Western Conference foe Seattle Sounders.

Sporting KC experienced a second short slump in MLS play, suffering a 4-0 defeat to the Philadelphia Union at PPL Park followed by a 1-0 loss to rival Chicago Fire at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park. However, in between the two MLS matches, Sporting Kansas City hosted the Dayton Dutch Lions in Open Cup competition, in which they earned a 3-0 victory to send them to the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup semi-finals.

Sporting Kansas City got back on track in MLS competition in July when they beat Montreal 3-1 at Saputo Stadium followed by 0-0 home draw with the Houston Dynamo. Sporting KC then went on the road earning a 2-0 victory over the Columbus Crew moving them back up the standings and into sole possession of first place among Eastern Conference rivals before dropping a 2-1 decision against Houston in their first ever match at BBVA Compass Stadium.

Sporting Kansas City returned back to LSP to face the New England Revolution in the first of four consecutive home matches in all-competition. The match resulted in a scoreless draw. Sporting KC then fell to Montpellier Herault SC 3-0 in their first of two international friendlies before losing to Eastern Conference foe Columbus 2-1 despite outshooting the Crew 25-12.

Sporting Kansas City then went on to draw 1-1 with EPL side Stoke City FC with a late equalizer in second half stoppage time. After the friendly, Sporting KC earned the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup title after defeating the Seattle Sounders FC in a shootout at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park.

Sporting Kansas City next hosted D.C. United and earned a 2-1 victory at LSP followed by a 1-0 road win over Toronto FC at BMO Field. Upon arrival back to the States, Sporting Kansas City earned a 1-1 draw against the New York Red Bulls and a 2-1 victory over Toronto FC before salvaging a point with a second half stoppage time goal against the Houston Dynamo.

And most recently, Sporting KC beat the New York Red Bulls 2-0 at Red Bull Arena and earned one point in a scoreless draw at Saputo Stadium before returning home and defeating the Chicago Fire 2-0 moving their undefeated streak to nine consecutive matches in MLS competition.

LAMAR HUNT U.S. OPEN CUP CHAMPIONS | Sporting Kansas City was crowned the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Champions for the first time since 2004 after beating the Seattle Sounders FC at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park 3-2 in penalty kicks after a 1-1 draw in regulation.

Sporting KC took the lead on a Kei Kamara penalty kick in the 84th minute after a hand ball by Zach Scott. The goal marked Kamara’s second goal in U.S. Open Cup competition since joining Kansas City. Just two minutes later, Seattle’s Scott got a bit of redemption when he notched the equalizer off a free kick from Rosales.

After two overtime periods the match was still tied and headed to a best-of-five shootout. Sporting KC, shooting first, began with Kamara’s second successful attempt of the night. The Sounders would match it with a make of their own through Brad Evans’ shot to his left.

Gspurning gave his team the advantage with a stop on Espinoza and Seattle momentarily led following Marc Burch’s blast down the middle. Besler pulled Sporting KC back level with a shot off the underside of the crossbar and into the back of the net.

Alonso and Zusi both sent their shots over the crossbar in back-to-back attempts, and Nielsen made a superb save to his left to deny Christian Tiffert to send it to the fifth and final penalty kick with it all to be decided.

Nagamura’s initial attempt was saved by Gspurning, but he was ruled to have come off his line early and the Brazilian calmly converted the ensuing second chance to his left to put Sporting KC ahead in dramatic fashion.

Johnson walked to the spot with LIVESTRONG Sporting Park in a frenzy, needing to score to keep Seattle alive. Back in Kansas City for the first time since he played with the then-Wizards in 2007, Johnson’s shot sailed over the crossbar and brought an end to the shootout with Seattle’s third straight miss from the mark.

Prior to the shootout loss, the Sounders had won three straight U.S. Open Cups, and had not been bested in the competition since August 12, 2008, when they were still a United Soccer League franchise.

WHEN THEY LAST MET | Sporting Kansas City and the Columbus Crew last met at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park on July 28. The Crew defeated Sporting KC 2-1 marking the last time Sporting Kansas City lost a match. In the contest, Sporting KC was off to an early lead when Kei Kamara headed a Graham Zusi free kick past Columbus Crew goalkeeper and Kansas City native Andy Gruenebaum. The Crew tied it up just nine minutes later when Jairo Arrieta slotted the ball past Jimmy Nielsen after a perfectly placed through ball from Josh Williams.

In the 34th minute Arrieta handed the Crew the lead with a well-struck shot from 30 yards out.
