SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs PHILADELPHIA UNION SPORTING PARK, Kansas City, Kan. April 5, 2015 (WEEK 5, MLS Game #45) 6 p.m. CT (FS1; FOX Deportes; TSN1) Now in different conferences, Sporting Kansas City and Philadelphia Union will be looking to begin a charge up their respective divisional tables when they meet Sunday afternoon at Sporting Park before a FOX Sports 1 audience.

Sporting are coming off their first win of the season in four games, defeating New York City FC 1-0 on the road. Union are still looking for their first triumph of the year, suffering a second consecutive defeat in a 1-0 loss at the Chicago Fire in their last match.

Each team has won twice, lost twice and drawn twice on their home ground.  Union won last year’s lone meeting between the teams at PPL Park, a 2-1 win on Oct. 18, ending a two-game Sporting KC winning streak in Chester.  Coaches record: Jim Curtin vs. KC: P2 W1 L0 D1 … Peter Vermes vs. PHI: P12 W4 L4 D4 SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City won for the first time in the 2015 league season, getting the game’s lone goal for a victory against New York City FC on Saturday evening at Yankee Stadium. Sporting are in a tie for fourth place in the Western Conference with 5 points from 4 matches.

LAST MATCH  The game's only goal came in the 12th minute. Matt Besler sent in a long, looping throw-in from the right and Ike Opara found the back of the net with aplomb, thunderously heading home from the penalty area.  Sporting goalkeeper Luis Marin was called upon to make three saves in backstopping his club's first victory of the season.  SKC manager Peter Vermes made two changes to the team that reached a scoreless draw with the Portland Timbers at Sporting Park. Seth Sinovic came back in at right back for Marcel de Jong, and Servando Carrasco started in the midfield in place of Roger Espinoza.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Luis Marin - Jalil Anibaba, Ike Opara, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic Servando Carrasco - Paulo Nagamura (Soni Mustivar 78), Benny Feilhaber - Jimmy Medranda (Jacob Peterson 67), Dom Dwyer, Graham Zusi (Bernardo Anor 39).

TEAM NEWS  Sporting won for the first time this season, after two draws and a loss, in the defeat of New York City FC. It ended a five-game league winless streak (and six-game winless run in all competitions) dating back to last year.  Sporting recorded a second consecutive clean sheet at the defensive end, and extended their shutout streak to 197 minutes, fourth-longest in MLS this season.  “Obviously, they had a couple of chances, a couple of open looks here and there, but it never really amounted to anything other than one where it was bouncing around like a pinball machine,” SKC manager Peter Vermes said. “But other than that, we came into somebody's place where they're undefeated and got a shutout on the road.”

MLS GAME INFORMATION

 

  

Center back Ike Opara scored his second goal in four games for the SKC tally. Opara’s eight league goals have come in three different seasons – 3 in 2010 (with San Jose), 3 in 2013 (with Sporting KC) and 2 in 2015.

“I would tell you that I think that he’s the best player in the league in the air. He’s tremendous. He’s got incredible timing in the air. He’s excellent on attacking set pieces,” Vermes said. “This is his second goal already in four games. He should have scored last week on a goal as well and he should have scored against Dallas as well. He’s been really, really dangerous. I think he’s played very well in that position. He’s been a monster for us.”

Both of Opara’s goals have come on headers from wide services (the first following a corner kick). The third SKC goal came from a shot from outside the area; no Sporting striker has scored a goal this season.

“You can go to any game in the league,” Vermes said. “You can watch any team play. There's going to be a lot of chances that go by the wayside. That's the way the game is. That's why the games aren't 10-8. That's why they're 1-0, 2-1 or what have you. Again, we were in good positions. I like the fact that we're getting there. If you're not making those things happen, you've got issues. But we were creating chances. We got a lot of chances through different aspects, not just the run of play.”

Sporting were forced into an injury substitution before the halftime break when Graham Zusi suffered a hamstring injury and had to be exchanged for Bernando Anor. Zusi is expected to miss the next two weeks with what has been diagnosed as a mild strain of his left hamstring.

Winger Krisztian Nemeth was out of the team for a second consecutive match after suffering a right knee sprain.

“If he's even feeling anything, he's not playing,” Vermes said. “There's no sense in doing that, because then he's – it's an MCL, and those things, you've got to be very careful with them. If it goes the wrong way, it's six weeks. Right now, it's two weeks. That's very different.”

PHILADELPHIA UNION Philadelphia Union remained winless to begin the 2015 campaign, falling 1-0 to the Chicago Fire on Sunday afternoon at Toyota Park. Union are in a tie for ninth place in the Eastern Conference with 2 points from 4 matches.

LAST MATCH  The game's only goal came in the 37th minute. A Harry Shipp free kick found the head of Adailton in the heart of the box, and he applied a glancing touch to the inswinging delivery that stranded Union goalkeeper Rais Mbolhi in no-man's-land as it sailed over him into the goal.  The result was sealed in the 72nd minute, when Union went a man down after substitute Fred was shown a straight red card by referee David Gantar for a swing at Shipp.  Fire goalkeeper Sean Johnson did not have to make a single save in backstopping his club's first win of the year.  Union manager Jim Curtin made two changes to the team that fell 2-0 to FC Dallas at PPL Park. Fabinho came into the back four in place of Sheanon Williams, and Michael Lahoud started in the midfield with Zach Pfeffer suspended.  PHILADELPHIA UNION (4-2-3-1): Rais Mbolhi - Raymon Gaddis, Ethan White (Eric Ayuk Mbu 83), Steven Vitoria, Fabinho - Michael Lahoud, Maurice Edu - Sebastien Le Toux, Vincent Nogueira (Fred 67; ejected 72), Andrew Wenger (Antoine Hoppenot 86) - Fernando Aristeguieta.

TEAM NEWS  Philadelphia Union lost for a second consecutive match and saw their season-opening winless streak extended to four games following the defeat at Chicago.  “We should have played a better game. I was disappointed on how we came out. They got in behind us a bunch in the first half, we fouled up a lot of three-on-threes that we had, because they keep a high back line, and we had chances to break through but we fouled up the final pass a lot,” said Union manager Jim Curtin.

“We know that four games have gone by now and we only have two points. We are not happy with that at all.

We’re going to be chasing it a bit now. We have to get our first three and get it behind us.”  Said Maurice Edu: “As professionals, you want to win games. To be four games in now, and feel like we’ve done enough in some games to get a win and not get that result is disappointing. Again, we have a good spirit, and a good upbeat locker room, and we believe in each other – it’s a long season. All we have to do now is get back to training, work hard and prepare ourselves for the next game.”  Union were also held without a single shot on target for the match, matching the club record set twice previously, the last coming last year in a scoreless draw vs. Houston on April 19.  “We aren’t creating enough offensively. Been limited by teams and we have to do a better job of creating chances,” said Curtin. “ … Our decision making in both boxes is critical. We’ve come up short, to be honest. I always preach being the better team in both boxes. Defensively, we’ve come up short now on free kicks.

Attacking-wise, we haven’t been good in our box offensively, either.”  Union were shut out for a third time in four matches this season, their goalless streak now at 212 minutes since the 3-3 draw at Real Salt Lake, tied for third-longest in MLS this year.

With Zach Pfeffer suspended following his sending off in the Chicago match, and Cristian Maidana ruled out with a left knee sprain, Vincent Nogueira moved into the attacking playmaking role behind striker Fernando Aristeguieta.

There will be yet another absence for the Sporting KC match after Fred was sent off, just five minutes after he came on as a substitute.

“You’d like to have a full stable of guys,” Curtin said. “We had that for only 45 minutes [in the season opener] against Colorado, but every team in the league is going through injuries and international callups. Everyone is a little shorthanded. … Obviously Vincent’s done the No. 10 spot. It’s not his ideal spot, it’s not his preferred spot, but it’s one where he’s done a good job.”

Michael Lahoud made his first start of the season, playing the full 90 minutes alongside Maurice Edu in the deep-lying midfield roles.

“I think it’s an opportunity for someone else to come in,” Edu said. “And my position, whether it’s a [No.] 6 or 8, it’s similar roles. Obviously an 8, there’s a little more onus on me to get forward and create. And 6 is more so protecting the back four. It’s a slight change, but it’s not dramatic and it’s something I’m pretty comfortable with.”

Sporting KC Game Notes | April 5, 2015 vs Philadelphia Union | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES SPORTING KC SET FOR EASTER SUNDAY MATCH AGAINST UNION

ROAD WARRIORS

Coming off their first victory of 2015, Sporting KC returns to Sporting Park on Easter Sunday for a nationally televised match against the Philadelphia Union.

Last Saturday’s win at New York City FC lifted Sporting KC into a tie for fourth place in the Western Conference, while the Union enter Sunday tied for last in the East with two points from their opening four matches. However, Philadelphia is undefeated in their last three trips to Kansas City, winning two, and face a Sporting KC side that has just one victory in their last seven MLS matches at Sporting Park dating back to August 2014.

Following a 3-1 loss at FC Dallas on March 14, Sporting KC has posted two consecutive clean sheets and is in the midst of a 197-minute shutout streak.

Meanwhile, Philadelphia has conceded a league-high six goals and has failed to score in three of their first four games in 2015. The clubs have split the all-time regular season series 4-4-4, including a 2-2-2 mark in Kansas City. The home team in this match-up has won just one of the last six meetings.

Sunday will be Sporting KC’s 600th regular season match in club history and their 300th league match at home.

Sporting KC has won 30 away matches in MLS since the beginning of 2011, more than any other club, including eight road wins in each of the previous three regular seasons. Their 24 road wins from 2012-2014 are the most of any MLS club over a three-year span during the non-shootout era (2000-present). Coincidentally, last Saturday’s 1-0 victory over New York City FC was Sporting KC’s 300th regular season road game and the team’s 100th road win across all competition in club history.

SPORTING PARK SELLOUT STREAK

Sporting Park has sold out 55 consecutive MLS matches (including playoffs) dating back to March 2012 and 67 of 76 overall since opening in June 2011. Sporting KC has set new regular season attendance records in each of the last four years, eclipsing 20,00 spectators per game in 2014. In 76 MLS matches played at the venue, Sporting Park is averaging 19,356 spectators -- 104.8 percent of its 18,467seat capacity. Sporting KC’s average home attendance in 2014 was at 108.7 percent capacity, the best mark in MLS.

DE JONG AND ESPINOZA RETURN FROM INTERNATIONAL DUTY Sporting KC welcomes three players back into the squad who missed last

OPARA EARNS MLS PLAYER OF THE MONTH NOMINATION

Sporting KC defender Ike Opara was nominated for Etihad Airways MLS Player of the Month for March. The defender started all four matches during the month, scored two goals and anchored a backline that posted two shutouts.

After missing the final six months of 2014 with a chondral defect injury in his right ankle, Opara has made up for lost time with an excellent start to 2015.

Through the first four weeks of the 2015 campaign, he leads MLS in interceptions (25), clearances (36), headed clearances (25) and aerial duels won (23), and ranks second in duels won (37). He is the only Sporting KC defender to have started all four matches in 2015 and is the club’s only field player to have played all 360 minutes.

In addition, Opara has been named to the MLS Team of the Week three times, more than any other player.

Saturday’s trip to New York City FC while on international duty: Canadian defender Marcel de Jong, Honduran midfielder Roger Espinoza and homegrown defender Erik Palmer-Brown.

DE JONG HELPS CANADA TO A PAIR OF WINS Marcel de Jong started for Canada on Monday in a 3-0 win at Puerto Rico, but his 33rd international appearance ended early as the Sporting KC defender was replaced

by Karl Ouimette in the 34th minute of the international friendly for precautionary reasons. The match came three days after Canada’s 1-0 friendly win over Guatemala in which de Jong played 90 minutes.

De Jong and Canada will begin 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifying with a homeand-away series against Dominica in June, followed by their participation in the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup in July. Canada was drawn into Group B for their 12th all-time Gold Cup appearance alongside Costa Rica, El Salvador and Jamaica.

The 28-year-old has represented his country at each of the past three CONCACAF Gold Cup tournaments, as well as in 2010 and 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying. He signed for Sporting KC in early March and made his MLS debut on March 14 after recording more than 225 club appearances over 10 professional seasons in the Netherlands and Germany.

SPORTING KC SINKS NYCFC AT YANKEE STADIUM

Sporting KC claimed a 1-0 road victory last Saturday against New York City FC, handing the expansion side their first MLS defeat in front of a crowd of 27,454 at Yankee Stadium. Ike Opara headed home a Matt Besler throw-in for his second goal of the season and Luis Marin made three saves to extend the team’s current shutout streak to 197 minutes.

Sporting KC’s two central defenders combined for the game’s lone goal at the 12-minute mark. With eight NYCFC players stationed in the goal mouth to defend the throw-in, Opara rose above Kwame Watson-Siriboe to connect with the 35-yard throw from Besler at the top of the six-yard box and directed a powerful header past Josh Saunders.

Both sides were missing key players and Sporting KC saw Graham Zusi exit in the 39th minute due to injury (hamstring). In addition, the visitors were without 2015 starters Roger Espinoza (international duty), Marcel de Jong (international duty) and Krisztian Nemeth (injury) while NYCFC were shorthanded due to the absences of Shay Facey (suspended), Khiry Shelton (international duty), George John (injury) and Sebastian Velasquez (injury).

ESPINOZA AND HONDURAS WIN GOLD CUP PLAY-IN SERIES Sporting KC midfielder Roger Espinoza started and played 65 minutes for Honduras on March 25 in the opening leg of a two-game CONCACAF Gold Cup play-in series against French Guiana. Despite losing the match 3-1, Los Catrachos returned home and claimed a 3-0 win in the decisive second leg to win 4-3 on aggregate. Honduras now joins the United States, Panama and Haiti in Group A of the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup, having reached the semifinal round in four of the past five Gold Cup tournaments.

The 28-year-old Espinoza has earned 46 caps for Honduras, scoring four goals and representing his native country at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, 2012 Summer Olympics and 2014 FIFA World Cup. Espinoza has played 133 matches for Sporting KC in all competitions with three goals and 12 assists, including a long-range strike at FC Dallas on March 14. He played in Kansas City from 2008 to 2012, earning MLS All-Star honors in his final year before moving to English club Wigan Athletic in 2013. He returned to Kansas City this January after making 57 appearances for the Latics, including a 90-minute performance in their famous win over Manchester City in the 2013 FA Cup Final.

OPARA AND FEILHABER NAMED TO MLS TEAM OF THE WEEK Four weeks of the regular season are in the books, and Ike Opara has already

made three appearances on MLSsoccer.com’s Team of the Week.

The third occurrence came Monday after Opara continued his flying start to the campaign with a game-winning goal in last Saturday’s 1-0 win over New York City FC at Yankee Stadium. His 12th-minute header, following a long throw-in from fellow centerback Matt Besler, highlighted a match in which he led all players with 13 clearances and nine interceptions. Bleacher Report, Goal.com and NBC Pro Soccer Talk also included the 6-foot-2 defender in their Team of the Week squads.

Last Saturday also saw a stellar performance from midfielder Benny Feilhaber, who landed Team of the Week spots on MLSsoccer.com and Goal.com. The 30-yearold veteran was all over the pitch, making 19 recoveries—no field player has logged more in a game since March 2013—and winning nine duels.

PALMER BROWN JOINS U.S. U-20’S Palmer-Brown joined the United States Under-20 Men’s National Team for a week-long training camp in England (March 23-30). Head coach Tab Ramos selected 20 players for the team’s first foreign training camp of the year, which included a closed-door scrimmage against Tottenham Hotspur’s Under-21 team on March 27 followed by a match against England’s Under-21 Men’s National Team last Sunday.

An unused substitute in the United States’ 2-1 defeat to England, Palmer-Brown is in contention for a spot on the U.S. squad for the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup in New Zealand this June.

Palmer-Brown has appeared in seven matches for Sporting KC across all competitions, including the team’s 2015 season opener earlier this month. The Lee’s Summit, Missouri, native is a product of the Sporting KC Academy and became the club’s third homegrown player signing in August 2013. Last year, The Guardian chose Palmer-Brown as one of the world’s top 40 players at his age in the publication’s “Next Generation 2014” list released in October.

HEADY PLAY FROM OPARA

Ike Opara has scored twice this season to bring his goal total to six across all competitions since he joined the club in 2013. The 6-foot-2 centerback has proven particularly dangerous on set pieces, as all six of his goals have been headers.

Opara’s five MLS goals over the last three regular seasons are tied for third most among defenders, one behind Jordan Harvey (Vancouver) and Matt Hedges (Dallas).

BESLER A THROW-IN THREAT

All but two of Matt Besler’s eight career assists for Sporting KC have come from throw-ins. Dating back to April 2013, Besler’s last four assists have come from long throws into the penalty area, including last Saturday’s game-winning assist to Ike Opara at New York City FC. 3

A roster makeover during the offseason saw Sporting KC acquire 13 new players and part ways with 15 members from last year’s squad. While retaining its veteran core – Matt Besler, Graham Zusi, Dom Dwyer, Seth Sinovic and Chance Myers – the club made multiple signings at each position.

New goalkeepers (2): Luis Marin (31), a Chilean international (eight caps) with 12 years of professional experience in his native country and Sporting KC’s current holder of the No. 1 jersey; Tim Melia (28), a sixth-year MLS veteran who was a League Pool Goalkeeper in 2014 and received a call-up from Sporting KC last summer.

New forwards (4): Bernardo Anor (26), a fifth-year veteran who played 72 MLS matches and scored 12 goals in Columbus; Krisztian Nemeth (26), a Hungarian international (15 caps) with nearly 10 years of professional experience across Europe; Connor Hallisey (23), a winger out of California selected 10th overall in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft; James Ansu Rogers (22), a winger out of New Mexico selected 53rd overall in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft.

RULING THE NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK

Following a 1-0 win at New York City last Saturday, Sporting KC moved to 7-1-2 in their first meetings against expansion (or relocated*) clubs during Major League Soccer’s expansion era (2005-present) .

KEMPIN STOPS PENALTY KICK IN FIRST MATCH ON LOAN

On-loan goalkeeper Jon Kempin marked his first appearance for the NASL’s San Antonio Scorpions last Saturday with a penalty kick save in a 4-2 friendly win over the Costa Rica U-23 National Team. The match at Toyota Field in San Antonio was the Scorpions’ final friendly before they kick off the 2015 North American Soccer League season this Saturday, April 4.

Kempin, who was loaned to the defending NASL champions on March 20, begins his sixth pro season after joining the U.S. Men’s National Team in January.

The Leawood, Kansas, native made five competitive appearances for Sporting KC in 2014, including his debut in MLS and the CONCACAF Champions League, while also spending time on loan at OKC Energy FC of USL PRO. Kempin earned back-to-back MLS Save of the Week honors in his first two MLS appearances and was named MVP of the 2014 MLS Chipotle Homegrown Game.

In doing so, he became the youngest at his position to play in MLS since 2012 and entered the record books as the youngest keeper to start an MLS match in club history.

SUCCESS IN KANSAS CITY

Sporting KC begins their 20th season as one of nine active charter members in Major League Soccer. Led by seventh-year Manager Peter Vermes, Sporting KC is the only club to win an MLS Cup (2013), a Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup (2012) and multiple conference regular season titles (2011, 2012) over the past nine seasons. Since 2011, Vermes has guided the team to four straight postseason appearances and 67 MLS victories (including playoffs), third most in the league. During that time, Sporting KC has recorded a league-best 29 road wins.

In addition to winning championships, the club has seen many of its current players earn individual accolades. Winger Graham Zusi was named MLS Breakout Player of the Year in 2011, while captain Matt Besler received MLS Defender of the Year recognition in 2012. A pair of three-time MLS All-Stars, Zusi (28 caps) and Besler (25 caps) are veterans of the United States Men’s National Team and signed Designated Player contracts with Sporting KC last July after competing at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.

Last year, Dwyer scored 22 MLS goals and 24 goals in all competitions to set new single-season records for the club. The 24-year-old has scored 50 goals in all competitions since the start of 2013—28 with Sporting KC and 22 with former USL PRO affiliate Orlando City SC. Now entering his fourth year in Kansas City, Dwyer signed a contract extension during this offseason.

Sporting KC also welcomes back Honduran international midfielder Roger Espinoza, who played five seasons for the team from 2008-2012. After becoming an MLS All-Star in 2012, Espinoza moved to Wigan Athletic where he won the 2013 FA Cup title and made 57 total appearances across the English Premier League, English Championship, UEFA Europa League and domestic cups. He is the only active MLS player to have competed in the 2010 and 2014 FIFA World Cups and the 2012 Summer Olympics.

LOPEZ STARTS FOR USL AFFILIATE OKC ENERGY FC

On-loan midfielder Mike Lopez played 77 minutes for USL affiliate OKC Energy FC last Saturday as Jimmy Nielsen’s side drew the Tulsa Roughnecks 1-1 in the 2015 season opener for both clubs.

Lopez returns on loan to the USL for the second straight year. He recorded one goal and one assist in 14 appearances split between Orlando City SC (nine games) and OKC Energy FC (five games) last season. The 22-year-old also logged eight MLS appearances for Sporting Kansas City in 2014 during a breakout second professional season. Lopez represented the United States at the 2013 FIFA Under-20 World Cup in Turkey and made his professional debut during the 2013 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.

ABDUL-SALAAM JOINS SAN ANTONIO ON LOAN

Sporting KC announced Wednesday that the club has agreed to loan defender Saad Abdul-Salaam to the North American Soccer League’s San Antonio Scorpions.

The 23-year-old rookie joins goalkeeper Jon Kempin on loan with the reigning NASL champions ahead of their 2015 season opener this Saturday, April 4 against the Tampa Bay Rowdies.

Abdul-Salaam logged three goals and 12 assists in 54 games over three seasons at Akron, including a team-high six assists in 2014, and was an All-MAC First Team honoree. He earned an invite to the 2015 MLS Player Combine, where he was a top10 performer in both the 30-meter dash and vertical jump categories. Sporting KC selected Abdul-Salaam 12th overall in the first round of the 2015 MLS SuperDraft, and he appeared in three preseason matches for the club.

Currently on loan with the San Antonio Scorpions of the North American Soccer League, rookie defender Saad Abdul-Salaam was selected by Sporting KC with the 12th overall pick in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft. The right back played three seasons at the University of Akron (2012-2014), recording three goals and 12 assists in 54 college games. Sporting KC loaned the defender to the San Antonio Scorp Abdul-Salaam, who helped Akron win MAC regular season titles in each of his three college seasons, enjoyed a breakout junior campaign in 2013 with five assists in 19 starts. He earned 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 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 with a start on March 21, contributing to a shutout of the Portland Timbers.

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 26-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.

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 selected rookie midfielder James Ansu Rogers with the 53rd overall pick in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft. The third round draft selection was a member of the United States Under-20 Men’s National Team in 2012 after first representing the U.S. at the under-15 level in 2007.

A native of Sierra Leone, Ansu Rogers moved to the U.S. at age 11 and competed for the Colorado Rapids and Real Salt Lake academies prior to being recruited to the University of New Mexico. He contributed 18 goals and 21 assists in 80 games for the Lobos over a four-year collegiate career.

Sporting KC’s most experienced MLS player with 241 league appearances (including playoffs), Paulo Nagamura is in his fourth season with the club. Since arriving ahead of the 2012 campaign, he has recorded four goals and six assists in 84 games (75 starts) across all competitions. A veteran presence in the midfield, he converted penalty kicks in shootouts following the 2012 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final and 2013 MLS 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 in December and made his league debut with a start on March 8 at Sporting Park. He most recently played for Roda JC Kerkrade in the Dutch Eredivisie, recording eight goals during the 2013-14 first division campaign.

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.

Internationally, Nemeth starred for the Hungary under-17 and under-19 youth national teams before leading his country to a third place finish at the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup with three goals in the tournament. He earned his first of 15 caps for Hungary’s senior team in 2010 and made five appearances during 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying.

Defender Ike Opara is in his sixth season in MLS and third season as a member of Sporting KC. After being sidelined almost a year through injury, he returned to the pitch on March 8 and scored Sporting KC’s first goal of the season. He leads MLS through Week 4 with 25 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.

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. He suffered a season-ending ankle injury last March, limiting him to three MLS appearances 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.

The fourth youngest player under contract in MLS, 17-year-old Erik PalmerBrown became a homegrown player in August 2013 (age 16). On March 8, 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.

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 played in the inaugural Chipotle MLS Homegrown Game last August., helping the MLS Homegrown team secure a 0-0 draw against the Portland Timbers U-23s.

The Lee’s Summit, Mo. native joined the Sporting KC Academy at age 13. He has represented United States youth national teams at the U-15, U-17, U-18 and U-20 levels, most recently competing with the U-20s at a training camp in England from March 23-30. He is in contention for a spot on the United States’ squad for the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup in New Zealand this June.

A nine-year MLS veteran, Peterson has 15 goals and 14 assists in 202 regular season appearances over the course of his professional career. Now in his fourth season with Sporting KC, he has contributed eight goals and six assists in 83 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 202 regular season appearances are second most on the team, behind only Paulo Nagamura (226).

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.

Drafted in 2010 by the New England Revolution, he joined Sporting KC in 2011 and has started 143 of his 144 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.

Since the beginning of 2011, Sinovic is first in MLS with 48 clean sheet contributions (including playoffs) and ranks sixth with 64 MLS games won. He received his first call-up to the United States Men’s National Team ahead of the 2014 USMNT January camp.

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.

Zusi signed a long-term Designated Player contract with the team in July 2014.

Sporting KC Coach Bios | April 5, 2015 vs Philadelphia Union | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes Manager | Peter Vermes

Assistant Coach | Kerry Zavagnin

Peter Vermes enters his seventh season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2015. He is the team’s second-longest serving head coach, and his .549 regular season winning percentage (77-59-46) is best in club history. During his tenure, he has won two major trophies – the 2012 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup 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.

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.

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 National Team. He recorded one assist for the Red, White and Blue.

The U.S. team went 15-2-4 when Zavagnin appeared. Zavagnin 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 marked the first time the United States 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, appearing 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.

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 became eligible for the veteran ballot and on October 11, 2013, Vermes was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame.

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.

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.

Fitness Coach | Mateus Manoel 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

# 92 28 23 15 33 8 13 11 5 9 18

Sunday’s match is the fifth of the season for the Philadelphia Union, who are still winless in their first four games, having been held to draws of 0-0 by the Colorado Rapids at home, 3-3 by Real Salt Lake away, losing 2-0 to FC Dallas at home, and going down 1-0 to the Chicago Fire away in their first four matches of the season.

Philadelphia Union and Chicago Fire have met on 12 previous occasions.

Last match - PHILADELPHIA UNION - (0-2-2) - 2 points – 10th in Eastern Conference



 





The Union enter the match against Sporting Kansas City following a disappointing 1-0 loss against the Chicago Fire. o The Union are now 5-5-4 all-time against Chicago.

Both sides went into this match with winless records and looking to reverse their seasons.

Philly’s best chance in the first half came in the 30th minute, when Andrew Wenger broke through the Chicago defense to have an open look at goal, but laid the ball off for Aristeguieta to finish, who unfortunately had other ideas and had cut the opposite way. o This miscommunication squandered what should have been a clear goal Instead, the Union would give up a goal seven minutes later in the 37th from a Harry Shipp set piece that found the head of Adailton to knock it in as Mbolhi came off his line and was left stranded in no-man’s land.

The Union would suffer another blow, and their second red card in two games, when substitute Fred was sent off for an apparent punch on Chicago’s Shipp in the 72nd minute o Although continuing to press for the entirety of the remaining game, the one-man deficit proved too difficult to overturn and Philly would suffered a 1-0 loss at Toyota Park Chicago Fire 1, Philadelphia Union 0

QUOTEBOOK Manager Jim Curtin on last week’s loss at Chicago: “Before we get into Kansas City, just to rewind a little and go back to Chicago, a result that we’re not happy with at all. Our game plan going in was to expect Chicago to come out and be a team that was desperate for a victory at home. Priority No. 1 was to match their intensity at the start of the game because that’s the one thing they would still bring, despite both teams missing a lot of players for different reasons — injuries and international call-ups. The one thing that we needed to do was match their intensity from the start, but we came up short on that one. The other thing that we talked about was restarts — not giving away silly fouls around the box.

Came up short in that regard, as well. So, I’m not happy with the performance against Chicago.”

Curtin on the Eastern Conference: “You can see how tight the table is in the Eastern Conference: three points there would have put you up to third place and sitting nice. Instead, we find ourselves at the bottom of the table. It’s a fine line; again, no one is running away with the East, but we know we have a tough task now to go into Kansas City against a team, an old Eastern Conference team, that we’re familiar with, and a place where we can go and get a result. But we haven’t made it easy for ourselves.”

Curtin’s thoughts on moving forward: “Yeah, there is definitely a sense of urgency from the coaching staff and from the players. We know that you can’t dig yourself into a deep hole; we learned that last year, it’s hard to dig out of. It’s four games gone by, we’ve lost twice, we’ve been beaten twice. We’re not happy with where we sit in the table, at the bottom. But, we’ll have to put together a good effort in Kansas City, have a good performance, and a performance that’s worthy of getting us some points, and then come back home against New York, where we know what we need to do at home when we get back on this field, and that’s to get three points.”

Sebastien LeToux on how the team is progressing: “I think we are ready for the matches, for sure. We want to start April in a better way. It’s a new month so we need to wash out what happened and start fresh and make sure that April will be a great month for us. We can start by getting our first win this weekend against Kansas City.”

UNION vs. SPORTING KC Searching for Firsts in Kansas City    

The Union are currently 0-2-2 for the 2015 MLS season and will look to grab their first three points of the season on the road when they face Sporting KC Sunday night.

Sporting Kansas City had a slow start to the season with two draws at home and one loss away.

However, they will look to continue their fine form from their last match, a 1-0 win against NYCFC at Yankee Stadium.

Sporting KC currently sit in 7th place in the Western Conference with 5 points from their first four games of the season.

The Union’s last win against Sporting Kansas City was on October 18th, 2014 at PPL Park. o The sides met three times last season, with the Union winning two of the matches and drawing the third.

Sporting Kansas City Matchup 

 

 

Sporting Kansas City and the Union last faced each other in the Union’s home finale of the 2014 MLS Season. This win came at a particularly vital time for the Union, as it snapped a five game winless streak, coming at the expense of the then-defending MLS Cup Champions. o It was rookie Pedro Ribeiro’s goal in the 71st minute that lifted the Union past Sporting Kansas City and secured them all 3 points.

While the Philadelphia Union are still currently winless, Sunday presents the perfect opportunity to turn around their season and bring a new energy heading into April against a challenging opponent that will prove to be a competitive game.

The Union will look to Fernando Aristeguieta to end their recent goal drought. He has scored two of the three goals for the Union this season, with the third coming off an own-goal that he helped cause as he appears to be developing quickly to the style of play in the MLS. o Improved communication between him and midfielders like Wenger will prove key – and help foster and capitalize on chances such as last week’s missed, clear opportunity against Chicago.

Goalkeeper Rais Mbolhi will have to keep a close watch on SKC forward Ike Opara, who has scored 2 goals this season, and defenders will have to stop Benny Feilhaber, who has provided Sporting with 2 assists in 4 games.

After starting the match against the Chicago Fire, Ray Gaddis has now started 46 straight games for the Union – dating back to Aug. 31, 2013. He’s 13 behind the longest streak in club history for outfield players, 59 for Brian Carroll from 2012-13.

Union Preseason in Review 





The Union went 3-2-1 throughout the 2015 Preseason, including going undefeated in their last four games en route to winning the IMG Suncoast Pro Classic in Bradenton, Fla. While at IMG, the Union defeated Costa Rica U23s (3-0), London United (6-0), Columbus Crew (1-1, 5-3) and New York Red Bulls (3-1). The Union beat New York to win the tournament’s championship.

Newcomer Aristeguieta and Andrew Wenger led the team with four goals each during preseason. Aristeguieta scored in all three games he played, while Wenger’s brace over New York helped win the IMG Tournament.

The team also lost its first two preseason games against Jacksonville Armada FC (3-1) and Tampa Bay Rowdies (1-0)
