SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs COLORADO RAPIDS SPORTING PARK, Kansas City, Kan. October 21, 2015 (WEEK 34, MLS Game #105) 7:30 p.m. CT (KMCI-38; Altitude) It’s a critical match in the Western Conference playoff chase ahead of Decision Day when Sporting Kansas City play host to the Colorado Rapids on Wednesday evening at Sporting Park. The Rapids still have not secured their place in the Audi 2015 MLS Cup Playoffs, but they can do so with a victory, following their 1-0 loss at the San Jose Earthquakes last weekend. The Rapids have been eliminated from playoff contention as they face two road games to conclude the season, coming off a fourth consecutive defeat in a 1-0 home loss to the Montréal Impact in their last match.

Figueroa had time and space to place his strike well inside the far post.  The game-winner came in the 75th minute.

MLS GAME INFORMATION

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City weren’t able to secure a postseason place, falling 1-0 to the San Jose Earthquakes on Friday evening at Avaya Stadium. Sporting are in a tie for fifth place in the Western Conference with 48 points from 33 matches.

LAST MATCH  The game's lone goal came two minutes after the halftime restart. Shea Salinas sent in a long cross from the left-wing to an open Chris Wondolowski on the back post, and he sent the ball back across the face of goal.

Anibal Godoy slipped in unmarked to tap the ball home from close range.  Quakes goalkeeper David Bingham was called upon to make three saves for the shutout, including stopping SKC's Dom Dwyer on a breakaway opportunity in the early going. Sporting goalkeeper Tim Melia was credited with nine saves.  SKC manager Peter Vermes made six changes to the team that got the game’s only goal for a victory against the Portland Timbers at Providence Park.  Chance Myers, Erik Palmer-Brown and Seth Sinovic all came into the back four for Saad Abdul-Salaam, Kevin Ellis and Amadou Dia, and Paulo Nagamura, Graham Zusi and Dom Dwyer also came into the team in place of Jordi Quintilla, Connor Hallisey and Jacob Peterson.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Tim Melia - Chance Myers, Erik Palmer-Brown, Matt Besler (Amobi Okugo 60), Seth Sinovic (Saad Abdul-Salaam 64) - Paulo Nagamura - Mikey Lopez, Benny Feilhaber - Graham Zusi, Dom Dwyer, Bernardo Anor (Krisztian Nemeth 59).

TEAM NEWS  Sporting concluded a run of seven away games out of their last nine league contests overall, dating back to Aug. 22 – going winless in six of seven (1-5-1). It was also the second 1-0 loss in their last four matches for SKC – three of their last four matches have been decided by the minimum scoreline.  “I think it had a playoff feel. I think these games all do at the end of the season. Tempo was good. I thought both teams battled. They scored, we didn't. We had a couple very good chances as well – the header; the breakaway from Dom [Dwyer] early. It was a good, hard-fought match,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes.  The defeat meant Sporting still have not secured their berth in the Audi 2015 MLS Cup Playoffs – a win vs.

Colorado and they will be guaranteed a place, while still remaining in contention with a draw and/or a loss.  “We were completely fatigued but [it] was a good battle between both teams. I think we had good chances.

Sometimes you score and sometimes you don't and that's the way it goes,” said Vermes.  Said goalkeeper Tim Melia: “I think we're obviously disappointed with the result. I think we picked it up in the last 30 minutes and we were pushing to get a result. We knew it was going to be difficult coming in here and we just got to move on.”  Erik Palmer-Brown returning to the starting lineup, making his second start in the last three matches – after making just two starts in the first 29 MLS contests this season.  Fullbacks Seth Sinovic and Chance Myers also returned to the lineup after a two-game absence on either side of the U.S. Open Cup Final.  “I just don't think we shifted well collectively as a group defensively. When the ball is getting switched from one side to the other it's difficult to recover. Chris [Wondolowski] did a good enough job putting the ball across the box and [Godoy] made sure he finished,” Melia said.  Graham Zusi returned to the starting lineup after being held out in the previous two games, while Krisztian Nemeth came off the substitutes’ bench for a second consecutive game, his fourth game in a row out of the first XI.  Dom Dwyer also returned to the starting lineup after a two-game absence, playing the full 90 minutes in the central striker role.  “It's playoff time and everyone's competing. Everyone wants to win. All of these games are so important and our guys are going for it on every play and every tackle,” Melia said.

COLORADO RAPIDS The Colorado Rapids saw their winless streak stretched to six games with a fourth loss in a row, falling 1-0 to the Montréal Impact in their last match, Oct. 10 at at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. The Rapids are in 10th place in the Western Conference with 34 points from 32 matches.

LAST MATCH  The game's lone goal came after a quarter-hour. After Rapids midfielder Dillon Powers stepped in front of Impact winger Andres Romero -- who was forced from the field with an injury -- the Impact won a free kick some 30 yards out from goal on the right. Didier Drogba whipped the restart over the wall and past a diving Zac MacMath in the Rapids goal.  Impact goalkeeper Evan Bush made three saves in keeping the clean sheet, the best stop in added when he sprawled to claw a long-range Lucas Pittinari effort around his right post to preserve the victory.

MLS GAME INFORMATION



Rapids head coach Pablo Mastroeni made six changes to the team that fell 2-1 to Real Salt Lake at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Zac MacMath came in between the posts for Clint Irwin, Marlon Hairston and Axel Sjoberg started in the back four for Bobby Burling and Maynor Figueroa, and Sam Cronin, Dominique Badji and Juan Ramirez came into the midfield, replacing Marcelo Sarvas, Vicente Sanchez and Kevin Doyle.  COLORADO RAPIDS (4-2-3-1): Zac MacMath - Marlon Hairston, Sean St. Ledger, Axel Sjoberg, Drew Moor Sam Cronin (Joseph Greenspan 85), Lucas Pittinari - Dominique Badji, Dillon Powers, Juan Ramirez (Vicente Sanchez 72) - Luis Solignac.

TEAM NEWS  The Rapids suffered a second consecutive defeat on their home ground, finishing their home campaign winless in their last three games at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. The four-game losing streak overall is the longest of the season for the Rapids.  “It was like a lot of the games we’ve played this year,” said Rapids head coach Pablo Mastroeni. “We were the best team on the field, but it’s about goals. We’ve given up very little to very dynamic teams throughout the year. You’ve got to make something happen with that.”  Axel Sjoberg made his first start since Aug. 29, coming into central defense and playing the full 90 minutes.

Marlon Hairston made his season league debut, coming at right back and playing the full match.  “I think Axel [Sjoberg] did a fantastic job,” Mastroeni said. “He did a pretty good job to body [Didier Drogba] up.

From the beginning, he imposed himself from a physical perspective. Axel really earned some stripes.”  Said Hairston: “Five-to-10 years ago, I never would have imagined being on the same field as [Drogba]," he said. "It was a great and humbling experience tonight. I still think we put in a great performance tonight, we just found ourselves on the wrong side of another result. All of the fans here deserve better.”  Goalkeeper Zac MacMath made his first MLS appearance for the Rapids, after playing his first four MLS seasons with Philadelphia Union. MacMath did start both U.S. Open Cup matches this season for the Rapids.  “I was excited to get my first league start of the season, but obviously it didn’t go the way we wanted it to,” MacMath said. “Every game is tough, every team has a difficult player, maybe not necessarily at Drogba’s level, but you’ve got to go out there and do your best.”  Dominique Badji made his first start in a league game since May 8, coming into a wide right midfield role and playing 90 minutes. Badji had made three appearances as a substitute, over the previous six matches, after returning to the Rapids from loan.  Luis Solignac returned to fill the lone out-and-out striker position, after playing a wide role in the Real Salt Lake match. Juan Ramirez made his first start since Sept. 9, coming into a wide left-sided spot and playing 72 minutes.  “The idea is to win the games," Mastroeni said. "It’s not just to see where we’re at. You want some sort of stability. We’ll continue to look at it. Obviously we’ve had a few guys away on international duty. How we integrate those guys back into the group, we’ll see. We have 10 days to figure that out.”

Sporting KC Game Notes | Oct. 21, 2015 vs. Colorado Rapids | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #SKCvCOL: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#SJvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting KC enters the final week of the 2015 regular season with two key home games at Sporting Park to determine the team’s postseason fate in a tightlycontested Western Conference race in which the club could finish as high as the second seed or outside of playoff position in seventh place.

Peter Vermes’ men first host the Colorado Rapids on Wednesday — in a match originally scheduled for May 16 but postponed due to inclement weather — and can secure a spot in the Audi 2015 MLS Cup Playoffs with a victory. The clubs square off Wednesday for the third time in 2015 and the 55th time in regular season history (KC leads 23-18-13). Sporting KC’s 68 matches against Colorado (KC leads 29-23-16) make the Rapids their most frequent opponent ever.

Recent history in the head-to-head matchup favors Wednesday’s hosts, who have lost just one of their last 12 games against Colorado dating back to 2009 with a 6-1-5 record (including postseason). In addition, Kansas City has not lost to the Rapids at home since September 2002, a run of 15 straight league games without defeat (11-0-4 record including playoffs).

Sporting KC extended this streak on June 27 with a 2-0 win over Pablo Mastroeni’s men at Sporting Park. Chance Myers set up Krisztian Nemeth for an impressive opening goal on 32 minutes before Benny Feilhaber’s teasing cross from the right flank caused Sam Cronin to turn the ball into his own net with 64 minutes played.

However, it was the Rapids who came away with three points in the team’s most recent clash, receiving goals from Maynor Figueroa and Kevin Doyle in a 2-1 win at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.

Sporting KC - 2015 Team Statistics • SKC has suffered just one home loss this season (9-1-5), the fewest in MLS. • SKC has won 13 home games this season in all competitions, one short of tying the club record set in 2000, 2004 and 2012.

Sporting KC Game Notes | Oct. 21, 2015 vs. Colorado Rapids | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES ESPN TO AIR #SKCvLA ON DECISION DAY

SPORTING KC ANNOUNCES 2015 CLUB AWARDS

Sporting KC’s regular season finale against the LA Galaxy at 6 p.m. CT on Sunday at Sporting Park will be nationally televised on ESPN as the marquee Western Conference match-up on Major League Soccer’s Decision Day.

Sporting KC presented the club’s annual awards on Oct. 10 at Sporting Park during Pitch Black. The club’s players, media members and fans voted on the following awards: • • • • •

All 20 MLS clubs will be in action on the final day of the league’s 20th season with five Eastern Conference matches played simultaneously on Sunday at 4 p.m. CT followed by five Western Conference games kicking off concurrently at 6 p.m. CT. The results will determine the field of 12 teams in the Audi 2015 MLS Cup Playoffs and the postseason match-ups, as well as regular season honors for the Supporters’ Shield and Golden Boot winners.

Feilhaber, the team’s MVP, has scored a career-high 12 goals and set a single-season club record with 19 assists in 35 games across all competitions in 2015. For the third straight year, Feilhaber collected Sporting KC’s Goal of the Year for his game-tying goal in the 95th minute of a 4-4 draw at Houston on April 25.

Sporting KC currently sits in sixth place in the West with two home matches. A win on Wednesday over the Colorado Rapids would not only lock up a playoff berth for the fifth straight season, but would lift the club into a share of second place with the LA Galaxy heading into Sunday’s meeting.

Dwyer repeats as the team’s Offensive Player of the Year with 16 goals, most among all Sporting KC players, and three assists in 33 games played across all competitions in 2015. Besler and Mustivar share Defensive Player of the Year honors for a Sporting KC side that has conceded the fewest shots (332) in MLS this season. Besler leads MLS with 208 clearances, while Mustivar is 14-4-5 as a starter (all competitions) and leads the league with 6.3 interceptions per game.

However, a loss or draw on Wednesday would set up an equally high-stakes showdown with the five-time MLS Cup champions. Sporting KC would be putting their playoff hopes on the line at the 11th hour. Meanwhile, the LA Galaxy would be tasked with the challenge of securing a top-two finish (Knockout Round bye and home field advantage in Conference Semifinals) or top-four finish (home field advantage in Knockout Round) on the road where they are 2-8-6 this season.

Nemeth has contributed 15 goals, including the game-tying goal in the U.S. Open Cup Final, to go along with seven assists in 30 games played across all competitions in 2015 to earn distinction as the team’s Newcomer of the Year. His 22 combined goals and assists are the most by a KC newcomer since the inaugural 1996 season.

Sporting KC and the LA Galaxy have met only once in 2015 to date with the Galaxy prevailing 2-1 in April on a 94th-minute game winner from Omar Gonzalez. Sunday’s national broadcast will mark the fifth time in 2015 that Sporting KC has featured on ESPN or ESPN2. The club went unbeaten in the previous four instances, including the U.S. Open Cup Final.

Defender Kevin Ellis was given his Humanitarian of the Year award by the parents of three-year-old Kit Van Sickle, who is fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia and first met Ellis in May during a Victory Project photo shoot for the 2016 Braden’s Hope calendar. The pair have since formed a close bond, which embodies Ellis’ commitment to making a difference in the lives of others.

HOME SWEET HOME

Sporting KC has a 13-1-5 home record in all competitions this season, including a 2-0 regular season triumph over Colorado on June 27. Peter Vermes’ men have outscored opponents 40-21 at Sporting Park and have reached the three-goal mark eight times. Their 40 home goals scored in all competitions are second most in club history, trailing only the inaugural 1996 season (46). Furthermore, the team’s one home defeat is fewest in MLS.

FEILHABER ON FIRE

Midfielder Benny Feilhaber has pieced together one of the best seasons in Sporting KC history, setting MLS career highs with 10 goals and 14 assists during an MVPcaliber 2015 season. In a 3-1 win over FC Dallas on Sept. 18, he became just the third player in club history to reach double digits in goals and assists in league play, joining Josh Wolff (2005) and Preki (1996-98, 2003).

Feilhaber has recorded 19 assists this season in all competitions, breaking the club record he had previously shared with Preki (2003). Earlier this year, he became just the second player in club history (Preki) to reach 10 goals and 15 assists in a single season (all competitions).

Feilhaber won MLS Player of the Month for April and received MLS All-Star honors for the first time in his career when he was named to the All-Star Fan XI and competed in the 2015 AT&T MLS All-Star Game on July 29. He has bagged two MLS Goal of the Week Awards (Weeks 8 and 21) and earned Team of the Week honors on eight separate occasions from various media outlets (see page 5). On Oct. 10, he was named Sporting KC’s MVP for the 2015 season.

Sporting KC’s 13 home wins in all competitions are one shy of tying the club record previously set in 2000, 2004 and 2012. In each of those seasons, the club went on to win a major trophy. Kansas City claimed an MLS Cup and Supporters’ Shield double in 2000 and lifted the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup title in 2004 and 2012. The team is set to continue that trend, having won the 2015 U.S. Open Cup with a penalty shootout win over the Philadelphia Union on Sept. 30.

THE THREE MUSKETEERS

2015 marks the first season in club history that Sporting KC has seen three different players reach the double-digit goal mark in all competitions. Dom Dwyer (16), Krisztian Nemeth (15) and Benny Feilhaber (12) have combined for 43 of the team’s 60 totals goals in the MLS regular season and U.S. Open Cup. Nemeth’s goal in a 1-0 win at Portland on Oct. 3 brought him to 10 MLS goals in 2015, tied with Feilhaber and one behind Dwyer for the team lead. As a result, Sporting KC has three double-digit scorers in the same MLS season for the first time ever. It’s a feat only nine other teams have reached in league history — and just the third such occurrence since 2003. Of the previous nine clubs to match the milestone, eight qualified for the playoffs and two went on to win MLS Cup — including last year’s LA Galaxy side led by Robbie Keane, Gyasi Zardes and Landon Donovan.

ROOKIE RELEVANCE

In January, Sporting KC selected Connor Hallisey (10th), Saad Abdul-Salaam (12th) and Amadou Dia (20th) in the first round of the 2015 MLS SuperDraft. Fast forward to a 1-0 win at the Portland Timbers on Oct. 3, and all three newcomers were in the starting lineup for Manager Peter Vermes. It marked the first time in the past eight seasons for three rookie draft picks to start a regular season match for Kansas City and the only such occasion in MLS this season.

LAST TIME OUT: SKC FALLS 1-0 IN SAN JOSE

Sporting KC’s winless streak in San Jose continued last Friday with a 1-0 loss in the team’s first match at Avaya Stadium. Anibal Godoy’s 47th minute goal extended the Earthquakes’ home unbeaten streak in the series to 17 straight games in MLS competition (including playoffs) dating back to 2001. With two home games remaining in the regular season, Sporting KC is sixth in a Western Conference table in which second through seventh place are separated by only four points. Sporting KC can book a postseason berth with a victory against the Colorado Rapids on Wednesday at Sporting Park.

Collectively, Sporting KC’s three rookies have now played a total of 55 regular season games through MLS Week 32. That ties the club record, set in 2007, for appearances by first-year draft picks and more than the previous four rookie classes combined.

It also leads MLS in 2015, as does their 27 combined starts and their 2,727 minutes played.

Sporting KC Game Notes | Oct. 21, 2015 vs. Colorado Rapids | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES (CONTINUED) SPORTING KC CROWNED U.S. OPEN CUP CHAMPIONS

NEMETH AND HUNGARY SET FOR EURO 2016 PLAYOFF

Sporting KC claimed the club’s third U.S. Open Cup championship since 2004 and the team’s third major title in the past four seasons on Sept. 30, prevailing 7-6 in an eight-round penalty kick shootout after a 1-1 draw with the Philadelphia Union at PPL Park in Chester, Pennsylvania. With the triumph, Sporting KC secured the Dewar Challenge Trophy and clinched a berth in the 2016/17 Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League to compete against the best teams in North America, Central America and the Caribbean region.

On Oct. 13, the final day of UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying with nine games played concurrently, Hungary and Norway were 20 minutes away from advancing directly to a long-awaited European championship.

Norway led 1-0 on Italy in Rome until Toronto FC playmaker Sebastian Giovinco came off the bench to set up two goals for the Azzurri in a 2-1 comeback win that knocked Norway out of a top two-finish in Group H. Hungary, who had received two goals from Sporting KC forward Krisztian Nemeth in their qualifying finale two days earlier, were poised to go through as the best overall third-place finisher until Turkey vaulted to the top of that table with an 89th-minute game-winner.

Sporting KC forward Krisztian Nemeth scored his fifth goal of the tournament, tying teammate Dom Dwyer for most in this year’s competition, with a 65th minute goal that leveled the match at 1-1 after Sebastien Le Toux had struck for the opening goal in the 23rd minute. Tim Melia matched his career-high with seven saves through 90 minutes of regulation and two 15-minute extra time periods, then made two saves in the penalty kick shootout to turn away attempts from Union captain Maurice Edu and former No. 1 draft pick Andrew Wenger.

Instead, Hungary and Norway will now meet in a two-game, aggregate goal playoff to be held Nov. 12 (Oslo, Norway) and Nov. 15 (Budapest, Hungary) with only one of the two teams booking a berth for the field of 24 in France next summer. Norway has held the upper hand in the recent series history, going unbeaten against Hungary since 1981.

Approximately 1,000 Sporting KC supporters were among the more than 14,000 fans in attendance at PPL Park. Philadelphia, playing in the U.S. Open Cup Final at home for the second straight year, took the 1-0 lead thanks to the tournament’s leading scorer in the modern era. Sebastian Le Toux raced onto a pass from Victor Nogueira and placed a first-time finish into the back of the net for the 16th U.S. Open Cup goal in his career.

Hungary’s quest for their first UEFA European Championship since 1972 will likely see Nemeth return to his national team next month after the 26-year-old appeared in each of their final five qualifiers. He is one of three MLS players in contention for a role in the Euro 2016 playoffs along with the Irish duo of Robbie Keane (LA Galaxy) and Kevin Doyle (Colorado Rapids).

Nemeth, whose header carried just over the crossbar moments before halftime, found the coveted equalizer 20 minutes into the second half amidst rainy conditions.

With a total of three combined touches, Chance Myers played a ball into the path of Graham Zusi who flicked it further across the penalty area for Nemeth to bend a right-footed curler inside the post.

The games will be played during the FIFA fixture window from Nov. 9-17, during which time CONCACAF’s World Cup qualifying campaign will resume with both the United States (Matt Besler, Graham Zusi) and Canada (Marcel de Jong) in action on Nov. 13 and Nov. 17. The Audi 2015 MLS Cup Playoffs accommodates the international break with the conference semifinals concluding on Nov. 8 and the conference championships kicking off on Nov. 22.

The Hungarian international scored in each of his four appearances in the 2015 U.S. Open Cup and his five total goals moved him into a share of the club lead among all-time scorers in the tournament. Zusi’s assist was the third of his career in the U.S. Open Cup, placing him second on the club’s all-time assists chart for the competition.

Nemeth has contributed 15 goals, including the game-tying goal in the U.S. Open Cup Final, to go along with seven assists in 30 games played across all competitions in 2015. His 22 combined goals and assists are the most by a KC newcomer since the team’s inaugural 1996 season.

Sporting KC are no strangers to the penalty shootout, claiming the 2012 U.S. Open Cup and 2013 MLS Cup with kicks from the mark, and the experience showed on Wednesday with seven of the team’s eight shooters successful. Both goalkeepers came up with back-to-back saves on their third try as Melia thwarted Edu and Blake tipped Nemeth’s attempt into the post.

The next eight players would convert one after another until the eighth round when Melia lifted his left leg to meet Wenger’s shot and set the stage for the decisive penalty. Up stepped 21-year-old newcomer Jordi Quintilla -- the youngest player to feature in the shootout -- to secure the title with a left-footed shot as Blake dove the opposite direction.

Quarterfinals

D.C. United 1

Sporting KC became the fourth MLS team to win the tournament three times (Chicago 4, Seattle 4, D.C. United 3).

Sporting KC has now won three Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup championships in team history, each of which in extra time (2004) or a penalty kick shootout (2012, 2015).

Sporting KC started five players on Sept. 30 who also started in the 2012 final: Graham Zusi, Matt Besler, Chance Myers, Paulo Nagamura and Seth Sinovic.

Dom Dwyer and Krisztian Nemeth both scored five goals in Sporting KC’s run to the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup title, finishing in a tie for the tournament’s Golden Boot.

Nemeth’s fifth U.S. Open Cup goal moved him into a tie for first place atop Sporting KC’s all-time U.S. Open Cup scoring chart, alongside Dom Dwyer, C.J. Sapong, Davy Arnaud and Igor Simutenkov.

Krisztian Nemeth scored in four straight U.S. Open Cup games, becoming the fourth player since 1995 to tally in four straight USOC matches in the same edition of the tournament.

Graham Zusi recorded his third career U.S. Open Cup assist on Sept. 30, moving into a tie for second in team history behind Benny Feilhaber (five).

The visiting team has won the last three U.S. Open Cup finals and five of the last nine, including back-to-back losses for Philadelphia in 2014 against Seattle and again in 2015 versus Sporting KC. Sporting KC has 11 U.S. Open Cup wins since 2012, more than any other team (11-2-1). Philadelphia is tied for second with nine (9-3-3).

Sporting KC overcame 1-0 deficits in the quarterfinals, semifinals and final of the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Sporting KC became the fifth team to lift three major trophies in a four-year span since 2005 (LA Galaxy, Seattle Sounders, D.C. United, Columbus Crew SC).

Sporting KC Game Notes | Oct. 21, 2015 vs. Colorado Rapids | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES (CONTINUED) PETER THE GREAT

2015 SPORTING KC MEDIA RECOGNITIONS

Seventh-year head coach Peter Vermes has stamped his name in the Sporting KC and MLS history books this season. The 48-year-old began the 2015 campaign with 76 regular season coaching wins, good for 14th most in MLS history. More than seven months later, Vermes has climbed to eighth all-time with 89 regular season victories — fifth among active coaches behind Sigi Schmid (221), Bruce Arena (190), Dominic Kinnear (152) and Jason Kreis (100).

SAADABDUL-SALAAM Team of the Week

In addition, 2015 has seen Vermes become Kansas City’s winningest coach ever.

When Sporting KC beat Real Salt Lake 3-1 in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup semifinals on Aug. 12, Vermes earned his 109th coaching win for the club in all competitions to pass his former coach Bob Gansler atop the club’s all-time chart. Three days later, Sporting KC pulled off a 4-3 comeback win to give Vermes his 87th regular season triumph, also passing Gansler for sole possession of first place in team history. On Sept. 30, Vermes won his third major trophy as coach of Sporting KC when the club defeated the Philadelphia Union 7-6 in penalty kicks after a 1-1 draw through regulation.

The second-longest tenured manager in team history behind Gansler (1999-2006), Vermes assumed head coaching duties in August 2009 and has since compiled a 112-78-60 record in all competitions. He led Sporting KC to the 2012 and 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup championships and in 2013 became the first person to win MLS Cup as both a player and coach with the same team.

Gansler coached Vermes as manager of the United States Men’s National at the 1990 FIFA World Cup and later in Kansas City when the club achieved the Supporters’ Shield and MLS Cup double in 2000.

Rookie defender Saad Abdul-Salaam was selected by Sporting KC with the 12th overall pick in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft. He made his Sporting KC debut with a substitute appearance in a 4-2 win over New England on May 20 after starting five games on loan for the reigning North American Soccer League champion San Antonio Scorpions. He has made 25 appearances in all competitions this season (20 in MLS) and recorded his first professional assist in a 6-2 U.S. Open Cup win over FC Dallas on July 1. He earned his first MLS start on July 12, a 1-0 win over Vancouver in which Abdul-Salaam received Team of the Week honors from Bleacher Report.

Abdul-Salaam played three seasons at the University of Akron (2012-2014), recording three goals and 12 assists in 54 college games. The right back helped Akron win MAC regular season titles in each of his three college seasons. He enjoyed a breakout junior campaign in 2013 with five assists in 19 starts before earning All-MAC First Team honors as a senior in 2014, notching two goals and a team-high six assists while starting all 21 games for the Zips.

Fifth-year MLS defender Jalil Anibaba joined Sporting KC ahead of the 2015 season.

He previously made 112 regular season appearances over four years with the Chicago Fire (2011-2013) and Seattle Sounders FC (2014), recording four goals and six assists. He made his Sporting KC debut on March 21 and scored his first goal for the club in second half stoppage time of a 3-2 win over Philadelphia on April 5. His first of four Sporting KC assists during the month of May was a game-winner to Paulo Nagamura on May 3, and he was named to the fan ballot for the 2015 AT&T MLS All-Star Game.

Capable of playing as a centerback or right back, Anibaba made 16 MLS appearances in 2014 and helped Seattle win the Supporters’ Shield title. He also featured in four matches during the club’s run to the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open championship. The 26-year-old spent his first three professional seasons in Chicago, where he played in 96 of the team’s 102 regular season contests from 2011-2013. The defender was named a finalist for Major League Soccer’s Fair Play Award in 2013, starting every regular season match of the campaign.

As a youth, Anibaba represented the United States at the under-18 and under-20 national team levels.

Bernardo Anor joined Sporting KC from Columbus Crew SC in December 2014 to become the club’s first offseason acquisition. The 27-year-old native of Venezuela appeared in 72 matches over four seasons with Columbus, scoring 12 goals and adding three game-winning assists since being drafted out of the University of South Florida in 2011. He made his Sporting KC debut with a start on March 8 before being sidelined from May through August with multiple injuries.

Anor played 13 MLS matches as a rookie and 11 games in 2012 before suffering a season-ending ACL injury. He returned in 2013 to make 19 MLS starts and earn the club’s Comeback Player of the Year award. He netted a career-high six goals in 2014, helping Columbus earn a postseason berth for the first time since 2011.

Anor was South Florida’s top scorer for three seasons during his collegiate career (2007-2010) in which he recorded 21 goals and seven assists. His younger brother, Juan Pablo, plays professionally for Malaga CF in Spain’s La Liga, and his father, Bernardo, represented Venezuela at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow.

Sporting KC captain Matt Besler is in his seventh season at his hometown club. He has earned MLS Best XI (2012, 2013), MLS All-Star (2011, 2013-2015), MLS Defender of the Year (2012) and MLS Breakout Player of the Year (2012) honors and was named the 2014 KC Sportsman of the Year by the Kansas City Sports Commission. He was named to the MLS All-Star Fan XI ahead of the 2015 AT&T MLS All-Star Game on July 29.

Besler signed a long-term Designated Player contract with the club in July 2014. His 216 appearances for Sporting KC in all competitions lead the current roster and rank eighth most all-time. A regular staple of the team’s backline, he has started 175 of his 180 MLS regular season appearances and landed Sporting KC Defender of the Year honors three times (2011-2013).

Besler has earned 27 caps for the United States Men’s National Team since debuting in January 2013. He was on the U.S. roster for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil alongside teammate Graham Zusi, becoming the first Kansan to play in the World Cup. He started all four matches in the tournament as the U.S. finished Group G runners-up behind eventual champion Germany and advanced to the Round of 16. He helped lead the U.S. to the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup title, starting all three matches in the knockout stage.

Sporting KC signed defender Marcel de Jong ahead of the 2015 campaign. After logging more than 225 club appearances over his past 10 professional seasons in Netherlands and Germany, he made his MLS and Sporting KC debut on March 14 with a 90-minute performance at FC Dallas. He scored his first MLS goal in a 3-2 loss at Columbus on Aug. 22.

A dual citizen of Canada and Netherlands, de Jong began his youth career with PSV Eindhoven before signing professionally with Helmond Sport 2004. After two years in the Dutch second division, he joined Roda JC in the top flight Eredivisie in 2006. De Jong moved to Germany in 2010, signing for FC Augsburg. His first season there ended with promotion to the Bundesliga for the first time since the team was founded in 1907.

De Jong has made 39 appearances for the Canada Men’s National Team with two goals since his international debut at age 21 in 2007, recently starting in all three group stage matches at the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup in July and scoring in a friendly vs. Ghana on Oct. 13. He has represented the Reds at the past four Gold Cup tournaments, as well as 2010, 2014 and 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying.

Rookie defender Amadou Dia was selected by Sporting KC with the 20th overall pick in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft. On March 8, the 21-year-old became the first rookie to start in a Sporting KC season opener since 2011 and recorded seven interceptions, third most among MLS players in Week 1. He has started 13 of 22 MLS appearances this year and 17 of 26 in all competitions, recording his first assist for the club in the U.S Open Cup quarterfinals against Houston.

Dia appeared in 70 games during a four-year collegiate career at Clemson, contributing four goals and six assists. As a senior in 2014, he led the Tigers to the school’s first ACC soccer championship since 2001 en route to reaching the Round of 16 in the NCAA Division I Men’s Soccer Championship.

Dia has represented the United States at the under-14 (2007), under-18 (2009, 2010) and under-20 (2012) levels and also holds dual citizenship in his native France. As a youth, he was an NSCAA All-American and Colorado’s Gatorade Boys Soccer Player of the Year in 2010.

Now in his fourth season at Sporting KC, Dom Dwyer is coming off a breakout 2014 campaign in which he garnered Sporting KC Offensive Player of the Year and co-MVP honors. The Englishman set a single season club record with 22 goals, second most in MLS, and his 44 career goals in all competitions are fourth most in team history.

Dwyer, who was an MLS All-Star in 2014 for the first time in his career, has scored 66 goals in all competitions since the start of 2013—44 for Sporting KC and 22 for former USL PRO affiliate Orlando City SC. He signed a contract extension with the club ahead of the 2015 campaign and leads the team this year with 16 goals in all competitions, including a club-record four goals in a 6-2 U.S. Open Cup win over FC Dallas on July 1.

After making three appearances across all competitions during his rookie season, he notched 15 goals in 13 regular season games while on loan with Orlando City SC in 2013 to set USL PRO’s single-season scoring record at the time. He added four goals in the USL PRO final to earn championship MVP honors.

Dwyer won two national championships at Tyler (Texas) Junior College (2009, 2010), where he was the national junior college player of the year after scoring 37 goals as a sophomore. Moving on to South Florida in 2011, he scored 16 goals in 21 games.

Sporting KC’s second Homegrown Player in club history, defender Kevin Ellis is coming off a 2014 campaign in which he made 21 MLS appearances, including his playoff debut. He finished 2014 with three assists in league play, tied for third most in the team, while splitting time between the right back and center back positions. The 24-year-old has continued his unlikely rise in 2015, registering career highs in MLS with 24 starts and three goals, tied for most among MLS defenders this season.

Now in his fifth season with the club, Ellis developed in the Sporting KC Academy while attending Oak Park High School before playing collegiately at Barton County Community College in 2009-10. He scored his first competitive goal for the club last March, sparking a 1-0 win over Cruz Azul (Mexico) in the 2013-14 CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal first leg at Sporting Park.

Sporting KC signed goalkeeper Tim Melia in December 2014. He enters his sixth MLS season in 2015 after previously representing Real Salt Lake (2010-2011) and Chivas USA (2012-2014), where he backed up MLS All-Stars Nick Rimando (RSL) and Dan Kennedy (Chivas USA).

Melia made his Sporting KC debut on May 3, shutting out Chicago in a 1-0 result for the first clean sheet and first win of his MLS career. On July 12, he became the first keeper in MLS history to record six shutouts in his first nine MLS matches for a new club. He boasts a 14-7-5 record for Sporting KC in all competitions this season and made two saves in Sporting KC’s victorious penalty kick shootout win over Philadelphia in the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final.

Melia’s professional career began in 2008 with the Rochester Rhinos in the USL First Division. In 2010, he joined Real Salt Lake and spent part of the season on loan in the USL Second Division with the Charleston Battery. He helped lead Charleston to a first place finish in the regular season standings and eventually the league title with eight saves in the championship match.

Melia was a member of Chivas USA from 2012-2014, making 18 saves in six MLS appearances. He most recently served as a League Pool Goalkeeper, earning emergency call-ups from MLS Cup Playoff participants Sporting KC (August), FC Dallas (October) and D.C. United (November) in late 2014.

Sporting KC signed defensive midfielder Soni Mustivar ahead of the 2015 season. The 25-year-old made his MLS debut on March 21 against Portland before earning his first start on May 3 vs. Chicago. He has a 14-4-5 record as a starter in all competitions and made 19 interceptions in a 1-0 win over Vancouver on July 12, the most in an MLS match during the Opta era (2011-present). He scored his first goal for the club in the U.S. Open Cup on Aug. 12 and recorded the first two assists of his MLS career in a 4-3 win over Vancouver on Aug. 15.

Mustivar began his professional career as a teenager with SC Bastia in France’s Ligue 2 during the 2008-09 and 2009-10 seasons. He then moved to FC Petrolul Ploiesti and played each of the past three seasons in Romania’s Liga I. He recorded 61 league appearances with two goals in addition to playing eight matches in the UEFA Europa League. He started in Petrolul’s triumph in the 2012-13 Romanian Cup Final.

Eighth-year veteran Chance Myers enters 2015 as Sporting KC’s longest tenured player. The No. 1 overall selection in the 2008 MLS SuperDraft has played 160 matches for the club in all competitions, recording four goals and 18 assists from the wing back position. He made his 2015 debut on June 16 in the U.S. Open Cup fourth round, recording his first appearance since May 2014 after recovering from an Achilles injury.

He tallied the game-winning assist in his first MLS match of the season on June 27, landing MLSsoccer.com Team of the Week honors.

Myers eclipsed 30 MLS appearances in both 2011 and 2012 as a regular starter, and after making a career-high 31 MLS starts in 2013 (including playoffs), was the top-rated outside back on the MLS Castrol Index. He led MLS with 91 successful crosses from open play (including playoffs) between 2011 and 2013 before missing most of 2014 through injury.

Myers signed a new contract with the club last year after joining the U.S. Men’s National Team for the first time in his career as a member of Jurgen Klinsmann’s January Camp in 2014. He previously played for the U.S. U-18, U-20 and U-23 youth national teams.

Sporting KC’s most experienced MLS player with 256 league appearances (including playoffs), Paulo Nagamura is in his fourth season with the club. Since arriving ahead of the 2012 campaign, he has recorded seven goals and seven assists in 103 games across all competitions.

Nagamura scored the game-tying and game-winning goals in the 87th and 94th minutes of a 4-3 win over Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Aug. 15 as Sporting KC came from two goals behind after the 80th minute to complete one of the greatest regular season comebacks in MLS history. A veteran presence in the midfield, he converted penalty kicks in shootouts following the 2012 U.S. Open Cup Final, the 2013 MLS Cup Final and the 2015 U.S. Open Cup Final.

The Brazilian began his career with Sao Paulo FC and Arsenal FC in England before coming to the United States to play for the LA Galaxy in 2005, winning the MLS Cup and Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in his first season. He has also played for Toronto FC (2007) and Chivas USA (2007-2011) in MLS, becoming an MLS All-Star in 2009.

Now in his first MLS season, Krisztian Nemeth signed for Sporting KC last December.

He made his league debut on March 8 at Sporting Park before scoring his first MLS goal in the 94th minute of a 3-2 win over Philadelphia on April 5. He has notched 15 goals and seven assists across all competitions in 2015, including the equalizer in Sporting KC’s penalty shootout win over the Union in the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final.

Nemeth’s professional career began at age 15 when he signed with MTK Budapest in 2005. He was signed by Rafael Benitez to join Liverpool FC in 2007 and featured extensively for the Liverpool Reserves, becoming the Barclays Premier Reserve League’s top scorer with nine goals during his first season. His career continued in Greece with AEK Athens (2009-10), Olympiacos (2010) and Olympiacos Volos (2011) before he moved to Dutch club RKC Waalwijk in 2012. He most recently played for Roda JC Kerkrade in the Dutch Eredivisie, recording eight goals during the 2013-14 season.

Internationally, Nemeth led Hungary to third place at the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup. He has three goals in 21 caps for Hungary’s senior team, including a brace in a Euro 2016 qualifier on Oct. 11. He has played six international matches in 2015, helping Hungary qualify for the UEFA European Championship for the first time since 1972.

Sporting KC acquired 24-year-old Amobi Okugo from Orlando City SC on July 20 of this year. He has played 135 MLS matches as a central defender and holding midfielder in six professional seasons since being selected sixth overall by the Philadelphia Union in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft. He made his Sporting KC debut in a 3-1 win at Toronto FC on Aug. 8, assisting a late goal to seal the result.

In 2011, Okugo was a member of Major League Soccer’s Generation adidas roster that was led by Sporting KC Manager Peter Vermes during a tour of the Netherlands.

Between 2012-2014, he led all MLS players with 70 blocks and was fourth in the league with 276 interceptions.

Okugo was included on MLSsoccer.com’s “24 under 24” rankings of the league’s top youth talent each of the past two seasons (8th in 2013, 13th in 2014) and joined Orlando City SC for their inaugural MLS campaign in 2015.

Okugo represented the United States extensively at the youth national team levels.

He went on to appear at the 2009 and 2011 CONCACAF U-20 Championships before playing for the U.S. U-23’s at the 2012 CONCACAF Men’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament.

Defender Ike Opara is in his sixth season in MLS and third season as a member of Sporting KC. After sitting out almost a year through injury, he returned to the pitch on March 8 and scored Sporting KC’s first goal of the season. He led MLS through Week 6 with 30 interceptions and was nominated for Eithad Airways MLS Player of the Month for March after scoring twice and anchoring a backline that posted two shutouts. He then suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon injury in his right ankle on April 11.

The club’s 2013 Newcomer of the Year, Opara appeared in a career-best 18 MLS matches with 15 starts during the club’s MLS Cup-winning campaign. He scored four goals in 2013 across all competitions (all headers) and featured in three of Sporting KC’s playoff matches. A season-ending ankle injury limited him to three MLS appearances in 2014 and two starts in the 2014-15 CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals.

Opara represented the United States at the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup, playing all three matches at the tournament, and at the U-23 level during the 2012 CONCACAF Men’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament. He was drafted by the San Jose Earthquakes in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft as a Generation adidas signing and played 36 MLS matches for the club over three seasons.

One of the youngest players under contract in MLS, Erik Palmer-Brown became a homegrown player in August 2013 at age 16. This year, he became the youngest MLS player to appear in a team’s regular season opener since 2010 and recorded his first MLS minutes at Sporting Park. The 18-year-old earned his first start of 2015 on May 9 at D.C. Palmer-Brown made his league debut with a start in May 2014, becoming the youngest player in MLS history to start a match as a defender, for the first of six appearances in all competitions (including debuts in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and CONCACAF Champions League). He has played in each of the last two Chipotle MLS Homegrown Games and was No. 24 on MLSsoccer.com’s “24 Under 24” rankings of the league’s top youth talent in 2015.

The Lee’s Summit, Mo. native joined the Sporting KC Academy at age 13 and has represented United States at the U-15, U-17, U-18 and U-20 levels. This year, he competed with the U-20s at training camps in England (March) and Austria (April) before joining the U.S. Under-20 Men’s National Team for the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup. He started one match in the tournament as the U.S. advanced to the quarterfinals. He then captained the U-20s for the 2015 Stevan Vilotic-Cele Tournament in September.

A nine-year MLS veteran, Peterson has 16 goals and 16 assists in 225 regular season appearances over the course of his professional career. Now in his fourth season with Sporting KC, he has contributed nine goals and nine assists in 111 games across all competitions for the club.

Peterson is one of only two players in MLS history, alongside former Kansas City defender Nick Garcia, to be a member of teams that won each of the following: NCAA Division I National Championship (2003, 2004), Canadian Championship (2010, 2011), U.S. Open Cup (2012) and MLS Cup (2013).

As a youth, Peterson represented the United States at the 2003 FIFA U-17 World Championships and 2005 FIFA U-20 World Cup. Four seasons with the Colorado Rapids (2006-09) were followed by stints with Toronto FC (2010-11) and the San Jose Earthquakes (2011) before he was acquired by Sporting KC in 2012. His 225 regular season appearances are second most on the team, behind only Paulo Nagamura (241).

Sporting KC signed 21-year-old midfielder Jordi Quintilla on Aug. 6, 2015.

Currently the youngest Spaniard in Major League Soccer, he made his club debut as a second-half substitute at the Colorado Rapids on Aug. 29 and started his first match for the club on Sept. 27 against Seattle Sounders FC. He converted the match-winning penalty kick in a shootout that sealed Sporting KC’s 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup triumph over the Philadelphia Union.

Quintilla developed as a youth at UE Lleida before moving to FC Barcelona’s famed La Masia academy, where he trained alongside former Sporting KC midfielder Oriol Rosell. In 2012, he began his professional career as an 18-year-old with Barcelona B in Spain’s second division and later went on loan to CF Badalona and CE L’Hospitalet.

Most recently, Quintilla spent the 2014/15 season with AC Ajaccio in the French Ligue 2 and played in 20 games across all competitions for the club.

Sporting KC’s 2014 Defender of the Year, Seth Sinovic is in his sixth MLS season and fifth campaign at his hometown club. A regular fixture at left back, he is the only player on the team to start at least 30 regular season games in each of the last three seasons. He missed more than three months in 2015 with a concussion before returning to the lineup on Aug. 29.

Drafted in 2010 by the New England Revolution, Sinovic joined Sporting KC in 2011 and has started 152 of his 154 total appearances for the club in all competitions. He scored his first professional goal in the 2012 MLS Cup Playoffs and registered the second of his career in the 2013 postseason against his former team, helping Sporting KC prevail in the decisive leg of the 2013 Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Sinovic received his first call-up to the United States Men’s National Team ahead of the 2014 USMNT January camp.

A seventh-year veteran for Sporting KC, Graham Zusi has garnered MLS All-Star (20122015), MLS Best XI (2012-2013) and MLS Breakout Player of the Year (2011) honors in addition to receiving a 2012 MLS MVP nomination. The winger is the only MLS player with at least five goals and at least seven assists in each of the last four regular seasons.

He has earned Sporting KC MVP honors each of the last three years (twice a co-MVP) and has led the club in assists every year since 2011. He was named to the All-Star Fan XI ahead of the 2015 AT&T MLS All-Star Game on July 29 and is the only player to appear in each of the last four MLS All-Star games.

Zusi signed a long-term Designated Player contract with the team in July 2014. Since 2011, he is third in MLS with 404 chances created and second with 391 successful crosses/corners (including playoffs). His 55 career assists in all competitions are second most in club history.

Zusi has earned 32 caps for the United States Men’s National Team since debuting in January 2012, recording three goals and six assists. He was on the U.S. roster for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, playing in all four matches at the tournament. In the group stage, he provided the game-winning assist in a 2-1 win over Ghana before adding another assist in a 2-2 draw with Portugal. He played in his first CONCACAF Gold Cup this summer, starting two matches as the U.S. finished in fourth place.

Sporting KC Coach Bios | Oct. 21, 2015 vs. Colorado Rapids | 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 enters his seventh season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2015. He is the team’s second-longest serving manager and his 112 coaching victories in all competitions are the most club history. During his tenure, he has won three major trophies – the 2012 and 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups and the 2013 MLS Cup championship – as well as two MLS Eastern Conference regular season titles (2011, 2012). He is the second coach to lead Sporting KC to four 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 89 regular season wins top the club’s all-time chart and rank eighth most in MLS history.

He passed his former coach Bob Gansler as the winningest manager in team history with a 3-1 win over Real Salt Lake on Aug. 12, 2015, his 109th victory in all competitions.

Vermes oversees all soccer operations for Sporting KC, including the active roster and the Sporting KC Juniors program. Vermes, an original member of Major League Soccer, 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.

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.

Following a standout high school career in which he was named New Jersey Player of the Year, Vermes was a star forward and All-American at Rutgers University. After college, Vermes represented the United States in the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea, and was named 1988 Chevrolet U.S. Male Soccer Athlete of the Year for his efforts.

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.

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 Assistant Coach Zoran Savic joined Sporting Kansas City late in the 2009 season after a 30-year career at all levels of the game in the United States. A native of Gornji Milanovac, Yugoslavia, Savic began his journey through American soccer with the Buffalo Stallions of the Major Indoor Soccer League in 1980. Savic would go on to star for several MISL teams, with his most prosperous period coming with the Kansas City Comets, with whom he scored 70 goals in just over 100 appearances from 1982-1984.

For MLS’s inaugural season in 1996, Vermes served as captain of the New York/New Jersey MetroStars. In 1997, he was traded to the Colorado Rapids for current Sporting KC Assistant Coach Kerry Zavagnin and played in Denver through the 1999 season, leading the Rapids to the 1997 MLS Cup Final.

After retiring as a player in 1991, Savic turned his attention to coaching in the indoor game. Savic led the Kansas City Attack from 1992-1996, winning Coach of the Year honors for the 1994-1995 season while also serving as the team’s General Manager. Savic later coached the Kansas City Comets from 2000-2005.

Vermes joined Kansas City in 2000 for what would be the most successful seasons of his MLS career. During his first year in Kansas City, he anchored one of the best defenses in league history and won MLS Defender of the Year honors in helping lead the Wizards to the 2000 MLS Cup Championship. He retired in 2002 after appearing in 184 MLS matches and playing more than 16,000 minutes. He was nominated on the players’ ballot for the National Soccer Hall of Fame from 2007-2012. In 2013, Vermes was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame.

Assistant Coach | John Pascarella Assistant Coach John Pascarella played professionally for nine seasons before beginning his coaching career in 1998 at the University of Maryland. Pascarella played club soccer with Sporting Kansas City Technical Director Peter Vermes. His playing experience took him to Peru before he returned to the United States to play in the A-League and MLS.

Fitness Coach | Mateus Manoel

Once his playing career was over, Pascarella began coaching as a member of Sasho Cirovski’s staff at Maryland. He then went on to work in Northern Virginia youth soccer circles as a high school coach and Olympic Development Program coach before becoming the Head Coach and Technical Director of the Northern Virginia Royals of the USL’s Premier Development League for two seasons.

Mateus Manoel is in his sixth season with Sporting Kansas City as Head Fitness Coach. His responsibilities cover all aspects of sport performance and science for the team, including strength and conditioning, injury prevention, field practices, nutrition, fitness monitoring (training load and readiness), player re-adaptation following rehab and recovery.

Pascarella joined Kansas City’s technical staff in 2009 and was a goalkeeper and fitness coach until 2011, when he became an assistant.

In the summer of 2010, Manoel was an Assistant Fitness Coach for the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team during the FIFA World Cup in South Africa. He had formerly served as the Head Fitness Coach for the Mexican Men’s National Team in 2009, working with renowned coach Sven-Goran Eriksson.

During 2007 and 2008, Manoel held a position with Athletes’ Performance in the Home Depot Center in Los Angeles, where he worked with professional athletes from a variety of sports, including NFL, NHL, MLB and MLS (Chivas USA and LA Galaxy). Previously, he had assisted with strength and conditioning for D.C. United from the MLS, while concurrently holding the position of Sports Performance Director with Velocity Sports Performance in Alexandria, Virginia.

Manoel holds a Master’s degree in Exercise Physiology from George Washington University, where he was also responsible for the strength and conditioning needs of the Colonials Men’s Varsity Soccer Team. He also holds a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from the University of Maryland - College Park and is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association. Manoel was born in Brazil and is fluent in both Portuguese and Spanish.

COLORADO RAPIDS GAME NOTES Richard Clarke, Sr. Director Communications & Digital Media - rclarke@dsgpark.com Diego Garcia, Media Relations & Social Media Coordinator - diegogarcia@dsgpark.com

MLS Regular Season Date: Wednesday, October 21, 2015, 6:30 p.m. MT Location: Sporting Park, Kansas City, KS Television: Altitude 2 Radio: Mile High Sports (AM 1340); 1650AM Radio Luz

MATCH PREVIEW Colorado Rapids will travel back to Kansas City to take on the 2015 Lamar Hunt US Open Cup winners, Sporting Kansas City, on Wednesday evening. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. MT (Altitude 2).

Wednesday’s match was first scheduled to take place on Saturday, May 16 but was postponed due to inclement weather in the area.

The Western Conference rivals split the first two matches, with both clubs winning at home. Sporting KC earned a 2-0 win back on June 27, while Colorado won 2-1 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on August 29.

Rapids go into the second-to-last regular season match having lost four in a row and five of the last six. Currently, Colorado is tenth in the Western Conference with a 8-14-10 record.

Pablo Mastroeni will have Kevin Doyle, Maynor Figueroa and Gabriel Torres at his disposal after the trio missed the last two matches due to international duty.

Meanwhile, Sporting KC can clinch a spot in the Audi 2015 MLS Cup Playoffs with a win on Wednesday night. At the moment, Peter Vermes’ men are one point clear of the San Jose Earthquakes and the red line with a 13-10-9 record.

INJURY REPORT Out: Michael Harrington (left foot), Dillon Serna (left hamstring), Jared Watts (toe).

HISTORY WITH SPORTING KC Sporting KC will always have a ‘special’ place in the hearts of Rapids fans, being as they were the first-ever opponents when – as Kansas City Wiz – they ruined Colorado’s introduction to Major League Soccer with a 3-0 win at Arrowhead Stadium.

The date was April 13, 1996 and it was the first match for both franchises in the newly-launched MLS.

This match was originally scheduled for May 16, but was postponed in the moments before kickoff due to inclement weather.

LAST MEETING Colorado Rapids 2-1 Sporting Kansas City Dick’s Sporting Goods Park, Commerce City, CO Saturday, August 29, 2015 In beating Sporting KC 2-1 on Saturday night, Pablo Mastroeni’s side recorded their third win in eight days to lift themselves off the bottom of the Western Conference and back into the Playoff race.

As ever, Kevin Doyle was the difference. The Irishman decided the game when he rose to nod home an excellent cross from Vicente Sanchez with 13 minutes left. It was his fourth goal since joining Rapids in May and all of them have been winners.

Dom Dwyer had given Sporting KC the lead two minutes after the break. However, Maynor Figueroa blasted home his first goal in burgundy to equalize six minutes later.

Rapids had bossed the majority of the first half and they would do likewise in the latter stages of this highly entertaining game.

A mixture of grit, guts, intelligence and creativity secured their club’s first victory over Sporting KC in 12 attempts. It was a record going back to March 2009.

FIRST HALF Rapids were the better side in the opening 20 minutes. They pressed back Sporting into the own third of the pitch and it nearly brought the opener.

Sjoberg tested keeper Tim Melia with a couple of headers as the home side forced a flurry of corners.

However, in the 11th minute, they should have taken the lead.

Drew Moor swung over a cross to the far post where he found an unmarked Ramirez. The Argentine dived forward and sent his header over the bar with the goal at his mercy. With goals at a premium, it was a massive opportunity.

In all, the Rapids and Sporting KC have met 54 times. Colorado’s Despite the miss, Ramirez would have an eye-catching first half. regular season record against Kansas City stands at 18-23-13 His pace was too much for Chance Myers, who pulled his ham(72 GF, 93 GA) overall. string in a foot race with the Argentine and was forced off.

Maynor Figueroa and Kevin Doyle, the Rapids won 2-1.

However Sporting ended the half strongly. Saad Abdul-Salaam nodded wide and then Dwyer headed weakly into the arms of Irwin after being found by Graham Zusi’s searching cross.

Current Rapids defender, Michael Harrington, was third overall pick in the 2007 MLS SuperDraft for Kansas City Wizards. He spent six seasons with Kansas City, making 149 appearances.

But Sánchez was equally inventive. He crossed for substitute Dominique Badji to head straight at Melia. He was penalized for a foul anyway.

The Uruguayan mesmerized his marker and floated over an inviting cross that Doyle gleefully nod into the corner. A trademark goal for the 31-year-old who leaves for international duty on Sunday morning.

Sean St. Ledger nodded wide from a corner shortly afterwards.

Sporting were not spent, however. Two minutes from time, Irwin made a stunning save from Dwyer and the striker’s mishit rebound bobbled back off the woodwork and into the keeper’s hands.

LAST MATCH Colorado Rapids 0-1 Montreal Impact The latter half was sheer good luck but Mastroeni will argue that it Dick’s Sporting Goods Park - Commerce City, CO merely makes up for misfortune earlier this season.

Saturday, October 10, 2015 The wins against Chicago and Houston were a grind but this was much more entertaining and fluid.

Along with the 4-0 success at Dallas, this rates as the best result AND performance of the season.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY CONNECTIONS Sporting Kansas City’s head coach, Peter Vermes, joined the Rapids from the Metrostars after the inaugural season. He was a part of the 1997 MLS Cup finalists, and would spend three years in Colorado, making 98 appearances (8 goals). The defender then left for Kansas City, in a trade which brought Scott Vermillion in the other direction. Vermes played 78 times in three seasons for KC, before retiring.

Didier Drogba’s expert free-kick proved to be the difference between Colorado Rapids and Montreal Impact on Saturday evening at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.

The former Chelsea striker put the Canadian side in the lead after 15 minutes when he curled home an effort from almost 30 yards.

Rapids pressed their opponents during the second half but the closest they came to scoring was in added time when a longrange drive by Lucas Pittinari was tipped aside by visiting keeper Evan Bush.

Rapids are now 8-14-10 for the season while Montreal (13-13-6) improved their hopes of making the Playoffs.

Rapids struggled to respond and Montreal managed to hold contain them. They could muster little and the visitors might have extended their lead just before the whistle but MacMath tipped over a long-range effort from Ignacio Piatti.

NEXT MATCH Next up for the Rapids is a trip to Portland Timbers for the last game of the 2015 season on Sunday, October 25. Kickoff is scheduled for 5:00 p.m. MT (Altitude).

Rapids took the game to Montreal after the restart. Juan Ramirez created danger from the left but visiting defender Laurent Ciman marshaled the lines to great effect.

The latest news and information on the Rapids can be found online via social media:

On the hour, Drogba threatened to break clear but Sean St. Ledger managed to steal the ball as they went one-on-one.

Powers drilled a shot at Bush but, by now, Montreal were starting to look comfortable in defense.

Coach Mauro Biello also brought on pacy Dominic Oduro to stretch the Rapids when the visitors broke away.

Badji dribbled through but his shot was easily saved. In added time, Lucas Pittinari conjured up arguably Rapids’ best chance of the night. His low drive seemed destined for the corner before Bush thrust out a hand to push it around the post.

FAN AWARDS The Colorado Rapids celebrated Fan Appreciation Night following the final home match of the 2015 season against Montreal Impact at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.

At the conclusion of the match, the club presented the 2015 team awards to the Rapids Academy Player of the Year, Young Player of the Year, Humanitarian of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, Fan Favorite and Most Valuable Player.
