Sounders FC put an end to their brief two-game winless run with the regular-season ending victory against Real Salt Lake, earning a home game in the Knockout Round in the process. On Sept. 10, Sounders FC were in ninth place in the Western Conference; since that date, they went 5-1-1 down the stretch to clinch a postseason berth. “We needed to win that game because the last two results we had weren’t wins and we needed to get into the playoffs on our own, so we didn’t have to rely on anybody else, because we take responsibility for our actions and we wanted to make sure that we get a nice little bump with the confidence and everything that comes along with a win like this against a tough team,” Sounders interim head coach Brian Schmetzer said. ... Sounders FC also continued their record of having reached the MLS Cup Playoffs in each year of the club's MLS history, now eight consecutive seasons in the postseason. That's tied for the second-longest such run in MLS history, along with the LA Galaxy's current streak (the Galaxy qualified 10 years running in the first 10 seasons of the league). ... “That’s a big piece to this puzzle that we’ve been trying to figure out. We definitely didn’t think we’d be in this position halfway through the year. A lot of pressures from outside and within the group, but what we do is we persevere. One way to do that is to put your head down and work, and we’ve all done that for each other. There is a lot of respect in this locker room for the changes that were made," said Brad Evans. ... Alvaro Fernandez scored his first goal of the season in the regular season finale, his first MLS goal since Sept. 15, 2012, when he scored for the Chicago Fire vs. Montreal. ... Cristian Roldan scored his fourth goal of the season, his first since Aug. 21, netting the match-winner. ... "That first goal was probably our best bit of soccer the whole game. Cristian [Roldan] is just Cristian – opportunistic; right place, right time. Our set pieces have been pretty good, with Chad [Marshall] and Román [Torres] taking a lot of attention off some of the peripheral guys. So – well, we can’t fill [Clint] Dempsey’s shoes, but, yes, by collective, by committee, we did enough,” Schmetzer said. Sporting guaranteed a place in the 2016 MLS Cup Playoffs with the 2-0 win against the San Jose Earthquakes in the regular season finale at Children's Mercy Park, extending their streak of reaching the postseason to six seasons, a third consecutive year playing in the Knockout Round. “What we don't want to have are these aberrations where one year we are winning and the next year we are last place in the league. We want to continue to be competitive. We want to continue to do well and always put ourselves in a position to compete for MLS Cup. Our first goal is making the MLS playoffs and we have done that now six years in a row. I go back to giving credit to the effort and the guys' commitment to getting in,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes. ... The win also extended SKC's home undefeated streak to nine games to close out the regular campaign, their longest since going 12 home games without loss last year. “You are not going to win every year. But we have been able to win three trophies in the last four years. And six times in the playoffs in a row, we are putting ourselves in a position every year to succeed. We would love to have a home game, so now we have to win an away one before we get the home one,” said midfielder Benny Feilhaber. ... Benny Feilhaber scored a goal from the penalty spot and added an assist in the San Jose win, the eighth time in his MLS career he’s had at least a goal and an assist in the same game. Feilhaber has been involved in each of SKC’s last six goals, with a goal and five assists in that run. ... Sporting go into the postseason on the heels of back-to-back shutouts, having recorded 10 clean sheets for the season. “It's a big piece of success in the league and, more importantly, success in the playoffs and winning MLS Cup. You have to be able to keep goals out of the back of the net and it's got to be between two things; it's the players doing everything they can to limit the number of shots and then your goalkeeper has to come up with big saves and both of those things have happened the last two weeks which has been great,” Vermes said. ... Vermes maintained an unchanged starting team for the final two games, the first time since mid-May Vermes was able to run out the same first XI in back-to-back league contests.

• Sounders FC went a man down four minutes before the halftime break when Oniel Fisher was sent off with a straight red card by referee Alan Kelly. • Sporting finally broke through with 17 minutes remaining, when Nuno Andre Coelho punched in a shot from well outside the box, shorthopping Seattle 'keeper Stefan Frei, who failed to block it as he dove to stop the shot. • Sounders FC head coach Sigi Schmid gave rookie Jordan Morris the start in his MLS debut in a wide right-sided role, while new acquisition Joevin Jones was run out at left back.

• Sporting got off to an ideal start, Dom Dwyer meeting a Roger Espinoza cross with a clinical glancing header into the inside netting in the 21st minute. • The lead was doubled in first-half stoppage time through a lovely dipping strike from the corner of the area into the top corner by Jacob Peterson. • Dwyer then finished off the rout 11 minutes from the end when he preyed on a wayward back pass and slipped the bal home inside the right post. • Sporting 'keeper Tim Melia was not credited with a single save, as Sounders FC did not manage a single attempt at goal until Joevin Jones rolled a low shot wide of the target in the 88th minute.

SOUNDERS FC vs. SPORTING KANSAS CITY | OCTOBER 27, 2016 - 7:00 P.M. PT

THIS WEEK VS. SPORTING KC SERIES NOTES Sounders FC is 7-4-3 all-time against Sporting, including a 3-2-2 record at CenturyLink Field. Sporting delivered Sounders FC its first-ever MLS loss in April 2009 before going winless in the next nine matches. In March, two sides began their 2016 MLS campaigns in a 1-0 SKC win at CenturyLink Field, then topped Seattle 3-0 in July. The all-time series between Seattle and Sporting KC has historically been low-scoring and close. On six occasions, Seattle has scored in the 90th minute or later and 13 of 14 meetings have been decided by one goal or fewer. Thirteen of the 14 meetings have had three combined goals or fewer. Thursday’s match marks the first postseason meeting between the two sides. Seattle hosts the contest as the fourth seed, extending its active streak of eight consecutive seasons with a top-four ranking in the Western Conference. Sporting secured the playoff spot on Decision Day after a home win versus the San Jose Earthquakes. Notably, the two sides played in the 2012 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final, which Sporting won in a penalty-kick shootout.

On playing Sporting Kansas City: “We’ve played them, we kind of know them. It’s not a huge thing, but obviously with the importance of the game we will go over every single little detail, so that adds a little bit of time to our day. We know Kansas City, we know Peter [Vermes], we kind of know what to expect.”

On where to improve after the RSL match: “Even when I watched it on film, I wasn’t happy with giving up the goal right away. What I was concerned about mostly is that we are able to continue to find rhythm to our game. Developing a few more chances. We know Kansas City is stingy on defense and we need to create quality chances. We need to be dangerous.”

COACHING CORNER Sporting KC is led under the direction of Head Coach Peter Vermes, who has recorded 103 wins since taking the job in 2009. As a player, Vermes made over 300 club appearances. His final stop was with Kansas City, where he made 78 appearances over a three-season span. Vermes was capped by the USMNT 66 times from 1988-1997.

MORRIS SETS ROOKIE RECORD Sounders FC rookie forward Jordan Morris bagged the first brace of his professional career in a 4-2 win against the LA Galaxy on September 25, including the game-winner.

SOUNDERS FC vs. SPORTING KANSAS CITY | OCTOBER 27, 2016 - 7:00 P.M. PT

SOUNDERS FC WEEKLY NOTES DEMPSEY OUT FOR SEASON Sounders General Manager & President of Soccer Garth Lagerwey announced that forward Clint Dempsey will not return this season as he continues to deal with an irregular heartbeat. Dempsey is the only player in MLS to record at least 10 goals and 10 assists in each of the past two seasons. Dempsey, 33, has been sidelined with the issue since late August and underwent a procedure to address the condition shortly after his diagnosis. He returned to the team on September 14 to participate in light exercise, but Dempsey stopped training with the club the following week before his season officially ended. Dempsey is the USMNT’s second all-time leading goalscorer and joined the Sounders as a Designated Player in August 2013. He has 34 career goals for Seattle in 72 matches over three-plus seasons, including eight tallies this year.

LAST MEETING: VS. SPORTING KC A Dom Dwyer brace led the way as Seattle Sounders FC (6-12-2, 20 points) fell 3-0 to Sporting Kansas City (9-10-4, 31 points) on July 24 at Children’s Mercy Park. Jacob Peterson also added a strike in first-half stoppage time. Sporting took the lead in the 21st minute of play, as Dwyer made a knifing run through Seattle’s area, rising to meet a Roger Espinoza cross at Stefan Frei’s far post. The Englishman headed home his attempt, netting his ninth goal of 2016. Peterson cemented the home side’s lead in first-half stoppage-time, as the MLS veteran hit his shot first-time inside Seattle’s 18-yard-box, drilling it into the far-side upper corner of Frei’s net. Saad Abdul-Salaam and Ike Opara assisted on the goal, as Peter Vermes’ side went into the break with a two-goal lead.

CLINT DEMPSEY STATS WITH SOUNDERS FC (REGULAR SEASON) Seattle adjusted the squad at the beginning of the second half, moving captain Brad Evans into midfield and bringing on centerbacks Zach Scott and Tony Alfaro to push Seattle into a 3-5-2 formation.

SOUNDERS FC HISTORY INTERIM HEAD COACH BRIAN SCHMETZER Longtime Sounders FC assistant and former USL Sounders manager Brian Schmetzer was named Interim Head Coach on July 26, 2016 following the departure of Sigi Schmid. Schmetzer entered his eighth season as Top Assistant Coach in 2016, a position he retained since December 22, 2008. He is one of the Puget Sound soccer community’s most recognizable figures after playing and coaching for the region’s top professional franchises since 1980. Schmetzer served seven seasons as the Head Coach of the Sounders’ United Soccer League’s First Division club. He guided Seattle to USL-1 championships in 2005 and 2007, and Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup semifinal advancements in 2007 and 2008. Schmetzer has 13 years of experience coaching and 15 years of playing at the professional level. He was a member of six championship teams during that span. Schmetzer was Head Coach of the USL-1 Sounders from 2002-2008. In addition to the two league championships, his teams also twice won the Commissioner’s Cup for the best record and qualified for the playoffs six of seven years. He was chosen USL-1 Coach of the Year in 2002 after going 234-1. The Sounders were league runners-up in 2004. His overall regular season record was 100-57-41. A Seattle native, Schmetzer signed with the Sounders’ North American Soccer League franchise following his graduation from Nathan Hale High School in 1980. He played three seasons as a midfielder for Seattle before going to Tulsa for the final NASL season in 1984. Schmetzer was coached by his father as a youth and his team won seven out of 10 state youth championships.

Western Conference Knockout Round | Oct. 27, 2016 at Seattle Sounders FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #SEAvSKC: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#SEAvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS

No. 5 seed Sporting KC (13-13-8, 47 points) visits No. 4 seed Seattle Sounders FC in the Western Conference Knockout Round of the 2016 Audi MLS Cup Playoffs on Thursday. The clubs are braced for their first-ever playoff meeting, having squared off 14 times in the MLS regular season. Sporting KC swept Seattle during the 2016 regular season campaign with a pair of shutout wins, including a 1-0 opening-day victory on March 6 at CenturyLink Field. Nuno Coelho decided the rainy match on his MLS debut with a 30-yard skipper that beat Stefan Frei inside the far post on 73 minutes. Sporting KC cruised 3-0 in the second showdown at Children’s Mercy Park on July 24, receiving a brace from Dom Dwyer and a sensational strike from Jacob Peterson as Seattle suffered its heaviest defeat of the 2016 season. Sporting KC has a 4-7-3 regular season record against Seattle, including a 2-3-2 mark in Seattle. However, Peter Vermes’ men are unbeaten in a club-record five straight MLS matches against Sounders FC, winning three and drawing two since the start of 2015. Prior to this stretch, Sporting KC had just one win in 10 all-time league meetings with Seattle. That first victory came in the inaugural game between the clubs in April 2009 at CenturyLink Field. The regular season series has generally been characterized by closely fought, lowscoring battles. Sporting KC’s 3-0 triumph was the first time in 14 regular season meetings that a game had been decided by more than one goal. In 14 meetings, the clubs have combined for more than three goals just once (Oct. 17, 2009), while five of the last seven matches have produced one goal or less. Sporting KC has shut out Seattle ins four of the last five regular season meetings. Sounders FC have a history of leaving it late against Sporting KC, scoring eight of their 13 goals in the series after the 75th minute. In 10 meetings between 20102014, Seattle scored five game-winning goals against Kansas City in second half stoppage time. Sporting KC has made six straight postseason appearances since 2011, while Seattle has been to the playoffs in all eight years of their existence. Sporting KC (6), Seattle (8), New York Red Bulls (7) and LA Galaxy (8) have the longest active playoff streaks in MLS.

#SEAvSKC: PLAYER HISTORY • Sporting KC goalkeeper Tim Melia has recorded shutouts in all four of his MLS appearances against Sounders FC, posting a 3-0-1 record with nine saves. • Sporting KC forward Dom Dwyer has three goals in five regular season appearances vs. Seattle. He bagged a brace in Sporting KC’s 3-0 win on July 24 at Children’s Mercy Park and also scored a 78th-minute equalizer in a 1-1 home draw on Sept. 27, 2015. • Sporting KC forward Jacob Peterson has two regular season goals against Seattle in 10 career appearances. He notched a sensational goal in the 3-0 win on July 24 and also scored in the eighth minute of a 1-1 draw at CenturyLink Field on June 20, 2012. • In his MLS debut on March 6, Sporting KC defender Nuno Coelho scored the game-winning goal in a 1-0 victory at CenturyLink Field, giving Sporting KC their first win in Seattle since 2009. • Sporting KC midfielder Benny Feilhaber converted a penalty kick in the 84th minute of Sporting KC’s 1-0 win over Seattle on June 6, 2015, at Children’s Mercy Park. • Sporting KC midfielder Brad Davis (questionable for Thursday with a calf injury) has seven assists in 11 regular season appearances vs. Seattle, all as a member of the Houston Dynamo. • Seattle defender Chad Marshall has faced Sporting KC 30 times during his regular season career, tie for second most among active players with Justin Mapp (30) and one behind Brad Davis (31). Coincidentally, Mapp and Davis both joined Sporting KC ahead of the 2016 campaign. • Seattle goalkeeper Stefan Frei has a 1.08 goals against average in 12 regular season games against Sporting KC with a 3-5-4 record.

NOTEWORTHY MILESTONES • Sporting KC (2011-2016) has become the third club in MLS history to record six straight 13-win regular seasons (LA 1996-2002, 2010-2015; and Seattle 2010-2016). • Sporting KC Manager Peter Vermes is poised to appear in his 13th edition of the MLS Cup Playoffs as a player (seven) or head coach (six). That ties the MLS record with Bruce Arena, Sigi Schmid and Jason Kreis. • Sporting KC forward Dom Dwyer is the first player in club history to score at least 12 goals in three straight regular seasons. • Sporting KC midfielder Benny Feilhaber is the second player in club history to hit double-digit assists in multiple regular seasons (Preki). • Sporting KC is one shy of its 300th loss all-time in all competitions (321-299-163).

Western Conference Knockout Round | Oct. 27, 2016 at Seattle Sounders FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES SKC LOOKING TO GET OVER KNOCKOUT ROUND HUMP LUCKY 13 FOR PETER VERMES AND SPORTING KC Sporting KC has ended its season in the knockout round of the MLS Cup Playoffs in each of the last two years. Both defeats have come in heartbreaking fashion, one as a member of the Eastern Conference and one as a member of the West. Manager Peter Vermes’ men fell 2-1 to the New York Red Bulls in the 2014 knockout round at Red Bull Arena. Benny Feilhaber assisted Dom Dwyer to give KC the lead on 53 minutes, but Bradley Wright-Phillips scored in the 77th and 90th minutes to give the Red Bulls a thrilling victory in front of their home fans.

Peter Vermes is no stranger to the MLS Cup Playoffs. The Sporting Kansas City boss is set to make his 13th career appearance in Major League Soccer’s postseason — as a player or a head coach — when his side faces Seattle Sounders FC in Thursday’s Western Conference Knockout Round at CenturyLink Field. In doing so, Vermes will enter rarefied air as one of only four individuals to either play in or coach a postseason game in 13 separate editions of the MLS Cup Playoffs — tied for the most in league history. Moreover, Vermes and Orlando City SC manager Jason Kreis are the only ones to participate in six separate playoffs as both a player and a head coach.

Sporting KC’s 2015 campaign ended in stunning fashion at the Portland Timbers. Kevin Ellis sent the single-elimination match to extra time with the game-tying goal in the 87th minute and Krisztian Nemeth lifted Sporting KC into the lead with a stunning strike in extra time. But the Timbers rallied with a late equalizer of their own in the 118th minute to level the match at 2-2 and survived the longest penalty kick shootout in MLS postseason history. Portland goalkeeper Adam Kwarasey converted his penalty kick in the 11th round and then made the decisive save, setting the stage for the Timbers’ run to the 2015 MLS Cup.

PLAYOFF APPEARANCES AS PLAYER OR HEAD COACH (MLS HISTORY)

REVISITING #SEAvSKC: PREVIOUS MEETINGS IN 2016 March 6, 2016 -- Sporting KC 1, Seattle Sounders FC 0 Defender Nuno Andre Coelho scored in his Major League Soccer debut as Sporting KC opened the 2016 MLS season with a 1-0 road victory over Sounders FC. A 30-yard strike from the Portuguese center back in the 73rd minute gave Sporting KC its first win in Seattle since April 2009, when the sides battled in their inaugural meeting. BOX SCORE

Asterisks next to names such as Vermes, Bruce Arena and Landon Donovan indicate a presumed appearance in the 2016 MLS Cup Playoffs. Vermes, Arena and Jesse Marsch, for example, are all coaching in this year’s playoffs but have yet to officially record their appearance. The same idea applies for Donovan, Kyle Beckerman and Bobby Boswell — all of whom are safe bets to feature in knockout round games this week.

Vermes continues to build an impressive resume as one of the league’s most successful figures. He made the playoffs every season during a seven-year MLS playing career from 1996-2002, and has now coached Sporting Kansas City to a club-record six straight postseason appearances. Do the math, and Vermes has reached the playoffs in 13 of his 15 MLS seasons as a player or head coach. He also holds the distinction as the only person to win an MLS Cup as a player and coach with the same team.

ANOTHER 13-WIN SEASON The number 13 is presently pertinent not only for Vermes, but for the club he manages. Sporting Kansas City defeated the San Jose Earthquakes 2-0 on Sunday to secure its sixth straight 13-win regular season dating back to 2011, when the team rebranded and moved into Children’s Mercy Park. To put this feat into perspective, only two other clubs in MLS history have notched six straight 13-win regular seasons. It’s an impressive feather in the cap for a Sporting Kansas City franchise that had just four 13-win campaigns from 19962010. Below is a list of the teams who have earned six straight 13-win regular seasons. # Club Years 7 LA Galaxy 1996 - 2002 2010 - present 7 Sounders FC 6 LA Galaxy 2010 - 2015 2011 - present 6 Sporting KC

Sporting Kansas City punched its ticket to the Audi 2016 MLS Cup Playoffs with a 2-0 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes on Sunday afternoon at Children’s Mercy Park. Benny Feilhaber buried a first-half penalty kick before Graham Zusi iced the result with a superb late strike, ensuring Sporting KC a club-record sixth straight playoff appearance on the final day of the 2016 regular season.

Sunday’s match was one of 10 to kick off simultaneously on Decision Day as all 20 MLS clubs drew curtains on the regular season. Sporting Kansas City began the day in sixth place, but rose to fifth when Seattle defeated Real Salt Lake 2-1. RSL took the sixth and final playoff spot in the West, while the reigning MLS champion Portland Timbers crashed out with a 4-1 defeat at Vancouver Whitecaps FC. 3

Western Conference Knockout Round | Oct. 27, 2016 at Seattle Sounders FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES (CONTINUED) SUSTAINED SUCCESS: SIX STRAIGHT FEILHABER FANTASTIC Sporting KC has become the sixth club in MLS history to make at least six straight trips to the postseason. In addition, Manager Peter Vermes is just the fifth coach to lead the same team to six straight playoff appearances.

Benny Feilhaber has recorded nine assists in his last 11 league appearances and finished with 13 assists for the season, tied for third most in MLS. Feilhaber, who has become the second player in Sporting KC history to reach double-digit assists in multiple regular seasons (Preki), has been one of the most productive MLS midfielders since the start of 2015. He set MLS career-highs in last year with 10 goals and 15 assists and followed it up with another stellar campaign in 2016.

SAAD HAPPY TO ASSIST

Sporting KC right back Saad Abdul-Salaam finished tied for the lead among MLS defenders with six assists in 2016. He tallied his sixth helper of the season in Sporting KC’s 2-2 draw on Sept. 18 against the LA Galaxy, setting up Dom Dwyer’s go-ahead goal in the 69th minute. The second-year professional joined the club in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft out of Akron and has since become a mainstay along Kansas City’s back line, starting 41 of 61 appearances across all competitions.

FEILHABER AND MELIA SUPERB VS. SAN JOSE

Sporting Kansas City entered Decision Day knowing a win would send the club to the MLS Cup Playoffs, and Benny Feilhaber rose to the occasion. A commanding performance from KC’s midfield talisman drew Team of the Week plaudits from MLSsoccer.com and Goal.com the day after a 2-0 win over the San Jose Earthquakes at sunny Children’s Mercy Park.

RUBIO OUT FOR THE YEAR WITH ACL INJURY

Sporting KC forward Diego Rubio suffered a torn Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) in his right knee during training on Oct. 14 and will miss the remainder of the 2016 MLS season, the club announced last week. He will return to Sporting KC for the 2017 season.

Feilhaber buried the game-winning penalty kick in the 27th minute and set up Graham Zusi for a second goal on 88 minutes as Sporting Kansas City clinched a club-record sixth straight playoff appearance and ran its unbeaten streak at Children’s Mercy Park to nine games. Feilhaber’s late assist was the 50th of his Sporting KC career in all competitions, making him the fourth player in team history to reach the milestone behind Preki (104), Zusi (60) and Klein (54).

Rubio had recorded three goals and one assist in 20 appearances across all competitions since joining Sporting KC on loan in March. The 23-year-old Chilean completed his permanent transfer from Spanish side Real Valladolid to Sporting KC in September. Last month, Rubio became the first player in club history to score in the MLS regular season, Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and CONCACAF Champions League in the same year. He opened his 2016 scoring account in a 1-1 draw at Vancouver Whitecaps FC on April 27 and notched the game-winner in extra time of a 2-1 U.S. Open Cup victory over Minnesota United FC on June 15. Rubio then tallied his first goal at Children’s Mercy Park in a 2-1 Champions League defeat to Vancouver on Sept. 13.

Another key contributor to Sunday’s triumph was goalkeeper Tim Melia, who made four saves en route to the shutout. The goalkeeper landed Bleacher Report Team of the Week honors and now has two consecutive clean sheets for an increasingly confident Sporting Kansas City side heading into the playoffs.

DWYER DOMINANT IN 2016

Dom Dwyer has enjoyed another excellent campaign in 2016, becoming the first player in club history to reach 12 goals in three straight regular seasons. He finished fifth in MLS with a team-best 16 goals, which stands as Kansas City’s third-best scoring haul in the regular season. The center forward has been excellent since the turn of September, scoring in four of his last six MLS appearances.

A native of Santiago, Chile, Rubio has netted 40 goals and added 16 assists since turning professional in 2011 at age 17. After rising from the youth ranks to the senior team at hometown club Colo-Colo, Rubio moved overseas to Sporting Clube de Portugal, where he scored 22 times for Sporting B from 2011-2015. The striker made 20 first-team appearances for Sporting while also going on loan to Romanian side Pandurii Targu Jiu in 2013 and Norwegian outfit Sandnes Ulf in 2014.

Dwyer stamped his name into the league history books on Sept. 18, becoming the 50th player to score 50 regular season goals. Among the 18 active players on the list, Dwyer is the youngest at 26 years old. Remarkably, he is one of just two on the list below the age of 30 — joining Houston forward Will Bruin.

Rubio earned three caps for the Chile Men’s National Team in 2011 at age 18 before playing eight matches at the U-20 level from 2012-2013.

In just three seasons as a regular starter, Dwyer has skyrocketed to second on Sporting KC’s all-time scoring charts with 61 goals in all competitions. He has scored twice in the MLS Cup Playoffs, most recently in the 2014 Eastern Conference Knockout Round at New York Red Bulls.

PETERSON IS “THE ANSWER”

Grizzled veteran Jacob Peterson has pieced together arguably the best season in his 11-year MLS career. Nicknamed “The Answer,” Peterson scored a career-best six goals this year, three more than his previous three seasons combined, and emerged as a second scoring punch in the Sporting KC attack. He also started 18 straight league matches from May 27 through Oct. 1, the longest run of consecutive starts in his 246-game regular season career. In a 2-2 draw against the LA Galaxy on Sept. 18, Peterson became the third player in Sporting KC history to score in five straight regular season home games, joining Preki (1996) and Scott Sealy (2006).

Western Conference Knockout Round | Oct. 27, 2016 at Seattle Sounders FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES (CONTINUED) BRAD DAVIS TO RETIRE AT END OF 2016 MLS SEASON SPORTING KC ANNOUNCES 2016 CLUB AWARDS Sporting KC midfielder Brad Davis announced Sunday that he will retire from professional soccer at the end of the 2016 MLS season. Davis will leave Major League Soccer after a brilliant 15-year career highlighted by 2006 and 2007 MLS Cup championships, 2011 MLS Best XI accolades, six MLS All-Star selections and a 2005 MLS Supporters’ Shield. His 123 assists and 392 games played rank third and fourth on the all-time MLS regular season charts, respectively.

Sporting KC presented the club’s 2016 awards on Oct. 8 at Children’s Mercy Park during Pitch Black. Sporting KC players, media members and supporters voted on the following award winners:

Including playoffs, Davis has amassed 60 goals 132 assists in 419 MLS appearances. He became the fifth player in league history to reach 400 MLS appearances when Sporting Kanas City faced FC Dallas on April 17. He retires as the all-time MLS leader in corner kicks (1,269) and is one shy of the all-time lead in game-winning assists (40).

• Most Valuable Player, presented by Soave Automotive Group: Dom Dwyer • Offensive Player of the Year, presented by Sabates Eye Centers: Benny Feilhaber • Defensive Player of the Year, presented by Ivy Investments: Saad Abdul-Salaam • Newcomer of the Year, presented by Kansas City Marriott Downtown: Alec Kann

A member of MLS for the duration of his career, Davis joined Sporting Kansas City in January after spending 10 seasons with the Houston Dynamo. He has recorded three goals and two assists in 27 appearances during the 2016 campaign, helping Sporting KC contend for a club-record sixth straight berth in the MLS Cup Playoffs.

Dwyer is the club’s Most Valuable Player for the second time in three seasons. The forward ranks ffifth in MLS with 16 goals and has become the first player in team history to score at least 12 goals in three straight regular seasons. Now in his fifth year with Sporting KC, Dwyer has risen to second on the club’s all-time charts with 61 career goals in all competitions.

Davis, 34, ended a 10-year stint in Houston as the Dynamo’s all-time regular season leader in games played (271), starts (252) and assists (104). The leftfooted midfielder guided Houston to consecutive MLS Cup titles in 2006 and 2007 and seven total postseason trips between 2006-2015, including two more MLS Cup appearances in 2011 and 2012.

Feilhaber, the team’s Offensive Player of the Year, has eight goals and 14 assists this season in all competitions. He is tied for third in MLS with 13 assists, including nine in his last 11 games, and is just the second player in club history to reach double-digit assists in multiple regular seasons. Abdul-Salaam earns Defensive Player of the Year honors in his second MLS season. The 25-year-old is tied for the lead among MLS defenders with six assists and has started 29 of 33 appearances in all competitions, contributing to eight shutouts.

A native of St. Louis, Missouri, Davis has reached double digits in assists seven times throughout his career, joining Landon Donovan as the only MLS players to accomplish the feat. His career blossomed in his first two seasons at Houston, where he played in every playoff match of both MLS Cup runs in 2006 and 2007. Davis was named an MLS All-Star every year from 2009-2013, earning MLS Best XI honors in 2011 when he notched a career-high 16 assists. He totaled at least four goals and 12 assists every season from 2009-2012, a stretch that saw Houston reach the MLS Cup twice more.

Kann, a goalkeeper who joined Sporting KC last December, receives Newcomer of the Year accolades after making 21 saves in 10 starts across all competitions (4-3-3 record). He has recorded two shutout victories in MLS and played both matches in Sporting KC’s Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup campaign.

THREE TITLES IN FOUR YEARS

During Major League Soccer’s Opta era (2011-present, including playoffs), Davis ranks first in assists (64), third in chances created (415), second in chances created from set pieces (215), second in corner kicks (678) and fourth in successful crosses from open play (110).

When Sporting KC lifted the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup last September, it became the fifth MLS club to win three major trophies in a four-year span since 2005, joining Seattle, D.C. United, LA Galaxy and Columbus Crew SC. Should Sporting KC add to its trophy haul in 2016 with an MLS Cup, it would join LA as the only MLS clubs to win four titles in a five-year span since 2005. Sporting KC MLS Cup (2013), Open Cup (2012, 2015) Seattle Sounders FC Open Cup (2009, 2010, 2011, 2014), Supporters’ Shield (2014) D.C. United Open Cup (2008), Supporters’ Shield (2006, 2007) LA Galaxy MLS Cup (2011, 2012, 2014), Supporters Shield (2010, 2011) Columbus Crew SC MLS Cup (2008), Supporters’ Shield (2008, 2009)

A two-year college star at Saint Louis University, Davis was taken third overall in the 2002 MLS SuperDraft by the MetroStars. Following his rookie campaign in New York, Davis moved to the Dallas Burn where he was a regular starter from 2003-2004. He then joined the San Jose Earthquakes in 2005, landing his first MLS All-Star selection and a Supporters’ Shield title during his only season in San Jose before the club relocated to Houston in 2006. Davis tallied four assists in 17 career appearances for the United States Men’s National Team. He earned his senior team debut in 2005 and converted the game-winning penalty kick in the 2005 Gold Cup Final against Panama. Davis cemented a spot in head coach Jurgen Klinsmann’s squad during 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying, making his lone World cup appearance with a start against eventual champion Germany on June 26, 2014.

RANGERS ROLL TO USL CUP FINAL IN FIRST SEASON

The Swope Park Rangers’ remarkable first season in the United Soccer League concluded Sunday night with the USL Cup Final against New York Red Bulls II at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, New Jersey. Despite a 5-1 defeat, head coach Marc Dos Santos and the Rangers concluded their inaugural campaign as USL Western Conference champions.

STRONG FINISH TO WEAK CCL CAMPAIGN

Seven SPR players featured at least one time for Sporting Kansas City this season in the 2016-17 Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League: defender Amer Didic (3 games), midfielder Ualefi (2 games), winger Tyler Pasher, midfielder Tomas Granitto, midfielder Alex Molano, winger Kris Tyrpak and winger Nansel Selbol (1 game).

Cameron Porter, Nansel Selbol and Connor Hallisey scored their first Sporting KC goals last Wednesday to spark a 3-1 comeback victory over Central FC in the 2016-17 Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League. Porter restored parity in the 49th minute — cancelling out Jem Gordon’s first-half opener — before Sporting KC Academy product Selbol decided the match in the 55th minute with a superb strike on his senior team debut. Hallisey added a penalty kick in second-half stoppage time to draw the curtains on a comfortable evening at Children’s Mercy Park.

Sporting KC’s USL affiliate was unveiled last October and finished fourth in the Western Conference upon completion of its regular season campaign, amassing a 14-10-6 record. Dos Santos’ men have caught fire over the last two months, winning nine of their last 10 matches and outscoring opponents 8-1 in three playoff games.

Despite the win, Sporting KC’s Champions League run comes to an end after finishing second in Group C behind Vancouver Whitecaps FC, who will advance to next year’s knockout rounds with seven other first-place finishers from the group stage. 2016-17 Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League Group C Standings # Club Record PTS 1 Vancouver 4-0-0 12 2 Sporting KC 1-2-1 4 3 Central FC 0-3-1 1

AUDI 2016 MLS CUP PLAYOFFS 101 QUALIFICATION The six teams from each conference who finish the regular season with the most points qualify for the playoffs to bring the total field to 12 participants, two more than the number that qualified from 2011-14. SEEDING AND KNOCKOUT ROUND The top two teams in each conference automatically qualify directly to the conference semifinals, a week-long break that serves as a reward for regular-season performance. Meanwhile, the other four teams in each conference face a quick turnaround for the Knockout Round, which pits the No. 3 and No. 6 seeds and the No. 4 and No. 5 seeds in winner-take-all matches hosted by the higher seed. Away goals do not count as a tiebreaker in the Knockout Round. RESEEDING FOR THE CONFERENCE SEMIS When the field has been trimmed to eight teams, four per conference, the Knockout Round winners are re-seeded ahead of the Conference Semifinals based on regularseason performance. The lowest remaining seed in each conference will play the No. 1 seed, while the No. 2 seed takes on the other team in Conference Semifinal matches set for Nov. 1 and Nov. 8. For example, if the No. 6 seed sprung an upset against the No. 3 seed and the No. 5 seed did the same against the No. 4 seed, the conference semifinals would pit the No. 1 seed against the No. 6 seed and the No. 2 seed against the No. 5 seed. CONFERENCE SEMIFINALS AND CHAMPIONSHIPS Once the single-elimination Knockout Round matches narrow the field, the format switches to two-match, aggregate-goal series for the Conference Semifinals and Conference Championships, with the lower seed hosting the first leg and the higher seed hosting the second leg. The team with the most total goals over two legs advances.

If the teams score an equal number of goals over the course of both matches, the team with the most road goals in the series advances to the Conference Championship. If at the end of the 180 minutes the teams are tied on both total goals and away goals, the teams will play two 15-minute extra time periods in which away goals DO NOT count, followed by, if necessary, penalty kicks to determine a winner. MLS CUP MLS Cup’s format – a winner-take-all match hosted by the team with the most regular season points – should be familiar by now. Like the Knockout Round, away goals DO NOT count. Like the Knockout Round, extra time and, if necessary, penalty kicks will break any tie in regulation.

Western Conference Knockout Round | Oct. 27, 2016 at Seattle Sounders FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes Manager | Peter Vermes

Assistant Coach | Kerry Zavagnin Assistant Coach Kerry Zavagnin first joined Kansas City in 2000 as a holding midfielder and was an integral part of the club’s midfield for the next nine seasons, during which time he helped lead the Wizards to MLS Cup (2000) and U.S. Open Cup (2004) Championships. He was named to the MLS All-Star team and the Best XI in 2004. Zavagnin’s primary duties as an assistant include scouting, developing Sporting Kansas City’s younger players, breaking down film and assisting with training sessions, among others.

Peter Vermes is in his eighth season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2016. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 128 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 – and finished atop the Eastern Conference regular season standings in 2011 and 2012. He is the second coach to lead Sporting KC to five 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 103 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. He has coached 293 total games during his Kansas City coaching career, most in club history.

He started his professional career with the New York/New Jersey MetroStars, where he played in 39 games over two seasons. After spending one season with the Lehigh Valley Steam (USL-1), Zavagnin came to Kansas City in 2000. He played 237 games (228 starts) and logged 20,516 minutes for Kansas City, setting team records in both categories. He scored eight goals and added 22 assists in his nine seasons in Kansas City blue. Zavagnin was named Team Defender of the Year in 2001.

Vermes oversees all soccer operations for Sporting KC, including the active roster and the Sporting KC Academy. Vermes entered MLS ahead of its inaugural season in 1996 and retired from the league in 2002, closing out his playing career in Kansas City after stints with the New York/New Jersey MetroStars and Colorado Rapids.

On top of his club success in Kansas City, Zavagnin also appeared 21 times for the United States Men’s National Team. He recorded one assist for the U.S., who went 15-2-4 when Zavagnin featured. He married his wife Mirriam prior to the 2009 season, when he became an assistant coach at the club.

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.

Assistant Coach | Zoran Savic

Vermes was an integral part of a young U.S. team at the 1990 World Cup in Italy, where he nearly scored a sensational goal against the host Azzurri. It was the first time the U.S. had qualified for the World Cup in 40 years and set the stage for the progress of the U.S. National Team. In 1989 and 1990, Vermes became the first American to play in the Hungarian and Dutch First Divisions, playing for Raba ETO and FC Volendam, respectively. He later spent five years with Figueras of the Spanish Second Division.

Assistant Coach Zoran Savic joined Sporting Kansas City late in the 2009 season after a 30-year career at all levels of the game in the United States. 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 209 MLS matches (including playoffs) and playing more than 18,000 minutes. In 2013, Vermes was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame. Year

In 2007 Savic switched to the outdoor game, joining Chivas USA as an assistant to then-head coach Preki before moving into the commentary booth for Kansas City matches in 2008 and 2009. Savic’s career as a commentator was cut short, however, when newly installed Manager Peter Vermes tabbed Savic to be part of his coaching staff late in the 2009 season.
