Sporting KC Game Notes | April 20, 2018 vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #SKCvVAN: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#SKCvVAN: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City is set to host Vancouver Whitecaps FC this Friday night at Children’s Mercy Park in the first of two meetings with the Canadian side in the 2018 MLS campaign. The return fixture will be played at BC Place in Vancouver on Wednesday, October 17, 2018.

Sporting KC suffered defeats in both matches against Vancouver in 2017, as the Whitecaps took the season series for the first time ever. In the first meeting on May 20, 2017 at BC Place, goals from Cristian Techera and Tim Parker condemned Sporting KC to just their third defeat of the season.

The return match on September 30, 2017 was an equally frustrating affair as Sporting KC dominated the match with Diego Rubio also striking the post from a penalty kick early on, only for Erik Hurtado’s sumptuous second-half strike to steal all three points for the Whitecaps before Graham Zusi and Christian Bolanos were both sent off late in the match.

Despite falling twice to Vancouver in 2017, Sporting KC has a commanding 6-3-3 lead in the all-time series against Vancouver since the Whitecaps joined MLS in 2011.

That includes a 4-1-1 mark at Children’s Mercy Park, with Sporting KC going unbeaten at home against Vancouver until the most recent meeting.

Prior to the 2017 campaign, Sporting KC held a five-game unbeaten run against Vancouver, having gone 4-0-1 between August 10, 2014 to August 20, 2016 before posting an 0-2-0 record since.

Sporting KC Game Notes | April 20, 2018 vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes UNBEATEN STREAK REACHES SIX

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

ZUSI SALVAGES A POINT

After going a full season without finding the back of the net, defender Graham Zusi has scored two important goals through the opening seven games of the 2018 MLS season.

His most recent on Sunday afternoon against Seattle Sounders FC served as the equalizer in the 78th minute that allowed Sporting KC to see out a 2-2 draw and extend their unbeaten run to six matches.

Sporting Kansas City remains at home this week when the side takes on Vancouver Whitecaps FC at Children’s Mercy Park on Friday night. Sporting KC is looking to extend its unbeaten streak to seven games, having last suffered defeat in the club’s season opener against New York City FC on March 4 and has since gone 4-0-2 in the six games since.

Zusi’s two goals are tied for second on the team, behind Felipe Gutierrez’s five, while the 31-year-old now has 31 goals and 70 assists in all competitions for the club since being selected by the Kansas City Wizards in the Second Round (23rd overall) of the 2009 MLS SuperDraft.

Sporting KC has won two of its last three games at home since the opener, defeating the San Jose Earthquakes on March 17 behind goals from Ilie Sanchez, Graham Zusi and Felipe Gutierrez before also seeing off D.C. United on March 31 on Gutierrez’s early goal.

Sporting followed up those results with a hard-fought 2-2 draw with Seattle Sounders FC on Sunday night, with Ilie and Zusi once again on the scoresheet. Sporting KC lost just once at home in all of 2017, going unbeaten until September 30 when Friday’s opponent Vancouver Whitecaps FC sneaked a 1-0 victory at Children’s Mercy Park.

Zusi transitioned into a full-time right back ahead of the 2017 season, having played there on occasion in 2016. He led the team with eight assists last year and was the top chance creator in the league among defenders. Despite consistently getting involved in the attack in 2017, Zusi failed to score a goal throughout the entire campaign. However, that changed when he netted a MLS Goal of the Week nominee with a stunning leftfooted strike into the top corner during the 3-2 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes on March 17.

Sporting Kansas City is currently riding the second longest unbeaten streak so far in 2018, going 4-0-2 since the opener and only trailing New York City FC who are 5-0-2 on the year and have yet to taste defeat. Sporting KC is set to have its first back-to-back home games this week when the side hosts Vancouver five days after playing Seattle at Children’s Mercy Park.

The former Maryland standout has had another impressive start to the season at right back, as he is tied for fourth in MLS with 19 interceptions through the opening seven games of the season, and is also tied for sixth across all players in the league with 15 chances created from the backline.

Despite falling twice to Vancouver in 2017, Sporting KC has a commanding 6-3-3 lead in the all-time series against Vancouver since the Whitecaps joined MLS in 2011. That includes a 4-1-1 mark at Children’s Mercy Park, with Sporting KC going unbeaten at home against Vancouver until the most recent meeting. Prior to the 2017 campaign, Sporting KC held a five-game unbeaten run against Vancouver, having gone 4-0-1 between August 10, 2014 to August 20, 2016 before posting an 0-2-0 record since.

MEDRANDA PRODUCING OFFENSE FROM DEFENSE

Sporting Kansas City defender/midfielder Jimmy Medranda continued to deputize at left back in the 2-2 draw with Seattle Sounders FC on Sunday afternoon at Children’s Mercy Park. The Colombian continued to show his offensive prowess throughout the match and was rewarded with the assist on Graham Zusi’s game-tying goal late in the match to help Sporting KC pick up a point.

WEATHERING THE WHITECAPS

Sporting Kansas City is getting set to face off against Vancouver Whitecaps FC this Friday night at Children’s Mercy Park. It’s the first meeting between the sides since Vancouver snapped Sporting’s 24-game home unbeaten streak with a 1-0 victory on September 30, 2017.

Medranda now has a goal and an assist on the season despite starting just three games, having come into the lineup against D.C. United on March 31. His goal came in the wild 4-3 victory over the Chicago Fire at Toyota Park on March 10, where he entered the game in place of an injured Seth Sinovic and fired home the goal that made it 3-3 with a slick left-footed strike high into the net.

In that match, Sporting KC dominated much of the statistical metrics, out-shooting the Whitecaps 18-11, with a 7-3 edge in shots on goal, while also out-possessing Vancouver 74-26. Despite their domination, Sporting KC was unable to find a breakthrough, with Diego Rubio seeing an early penalty kick strike the post before being denied by a number of stunning saves by Stefan Marinovic. In the end, Vancouver stole all three points when Erik Hurtado flicked Jordan Harvey’s long ball over the top beyond Tim Melia and into the corner to seal a 1-0 win for the visitors.

The 24-year-old has been with the club since 2013 when he first joined Sporting KC on loan from Colombian outfit Deportivo Pereira before signing a permanent deal ahead of the 2014 MLS campaign. Medranda broke into the team on a full-time basis in 2016 and has four goals and six assists in all competitions since then.

In the earlier match last season, on May 20, 2017 at BC Place in Vancouver, Sporting KC suffered their third defeat of the campaign with a 2-0 setback in Canada. Cristian Techera volleyed home the opener in the 39th minute after exquisite build-up from Sheanon Williams and Christian Bolanos. Despite Melia keeping Sporting KC in the match with a penalty save on Fredy Montero in the 53rd minute, Vancouver eventually did find their second goal when Tim Parker nodded home Bolanos’ cross.

Medranda’s versatility makes him a potent weapon as he is able to play on the wing, in central midfield and at left back. He has made 92 appearances, including 65 starts, in all competitions since joining Sporting and was a part of the team that won the 2013 MLS Cup and the 2015 and 2017 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.

TEAMS TO WEAR PARLEY OCEAN WASTE JERSEYS

Prior to those two matches in the 2017 MLS campaign, Sporting KC held a five-game unbeaten run against Vancouver in regular-season play, going 4-0-1 between August 10, 2014 to August 20, 2016. However, Sporting KC did also drop two matches against the Whitecaps in the 2016 CONCACAF Champions League group stage.

This weekend, all 23 teams across Major League Soccer will be wearing special kits made using upcycled plastic waste intercepted on beaches and in coastal communities.

In a partnership with adidas and Parley For the Oceans, Sporting KC will wear a crisp white kit on Friday night against Vancouver Whitecaps FC at Children’s Mercy Park, with the visitors set to don a black version of the Parley kit.

RUSSELL DRAWS ANOTHER PENALTY, ILIE CONVERTS

Sporting Kansas City winger Johnny Russell continued to turn heads with his early performances since joining the club this offseason. On Sunday, Russell drew a first-half penalty when he was chopped down by Seattle Sounders FC left back Nouhou Tolo after bursting beyond the defender. Ilie Sanchez stepped up to convert the spot-kick and give Sporting KC a 1-0 lead in the 34th minute.

With Earth Day approaching this Sunday, April 22, MLS WORKS is hosting its third annual Greener Goals Week of Service. League-wide efforts are being executed and off the pitch to highlight Major League Soccer’s commitment to environmental sustainability, with MLS club and staff members volunteering their time with local charitable organizations and other green initiatives being promoted throughout the week across MLS social and digital channels.

It was the second penalty that Russell has earned already this season, having also been brought down for a penalty kick in the 3-2 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes on March 17. In all of 2017, Sporting KC were only awarded three penalty kicks, earned by Benny Feilhaber, Latif Blessing and Daniel Salloi. In 2016, Sporting were awarded five penalty kicks, all earned by different players.

The partnership between MLS and Parley began in 2017 when four teams wore special Parley jerseys across the same weekend of Earth Day: New York City FC, Orlando City SC, the LA Galaxy and Minnesota United FC. With the initiative bringing awareness to ocean pollution, the partnership expanded to include every team in the league for the weekend of Earth Day in 2018.

You have to go all the way back to the 2015 season to find a Sporting KC player to earn more than one penalty kick in a season, when Dom Dwyer drew three of the club’s six penalty kicks - five of which were converted. In 2017, Sporting KC were not awarded a penalty until July 22 when Feilhaber was fouled in a 1-1 draw at Real Salt Lake.

The 2018 edition of the jerseys comes in two colors, non-dye and carbon, differentiating the two teams in each game. Each product is created using Parley Ocean Plastic upcycled from plastic intercepted on beaches and in coastal communities. Once collected, the original plastic source is reworked into technical fibers that can then be repurposed for use in products. To commemorate this unique process, the message “For the Oceans” is featured in the inside of the neck tape detailing, and each club’s name is featured on the back-neck.

For both of the penalty kicks that Russell has earned this season, midfielder Ilie has converted the ensuing attempt for the first two goals of his Sporting KC career. Both penalties have also come as the opening goal in home matches in front of the Cauldron on the North side of Children’s Mercy Park. Ilie now has two goals and two assists in 40 regular-season appearances for Sporting KC.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

KUZAIN SIGNS AS HOMEGROWN PLAYER

Sporting Kansas City has had no issues scoring goals so far in the 2018 MLS season, especially away from Children’s Mercy Park. Sporting KC has scored multiple goals in each of their three road games so far this year, and has also found the net in each of their last five matches since being shutout by New York City FC in the season opener on March 4.

Sporting Kansas City announced last Friday, April 13 the signing of Wan Kuzain Wan Kamal, known as Kuzain, to a Homegrown contract. Kuzain, a product of the Sporting KC Academy and the ninth Homegrown Player in club history, has signed an MLS contract through 2020 with options for 2021 and 2022.

A holding midfielder, Kuzain becomes the first Sporting KC Homegrown signing to progress from the Sporting KC Academy to the Swope Park Rangers to the senior team. Born and raised in Carbondale, Illinois, Kuzain spent several years with St. Louis Scott Gallagher Soccer Club before joining the Sporting KC Academy in August 2016.

He signed an Academy contract with the Rangers later that month, allowing him to play for both SPR and the Academy while retaining his amateur status. The midfielder finished the 2016-17 U.S. Soccer Development Academy season with four goals in 20 appearances for the Sporting KC U-18s.

With another two goals in the victory over the LA Galaxy at StubHub Center on April 8, Sporting KC remains among the leaders in Major League Soccer this year for goalscoring. Peter Vermes’ side is currently third with 14 goals scored through seven games, only trailing offensive powerhouses New York City FC (16) and Atlanta United FC (15).

In addition, Sporting KC has seven different goalscorers so far this year - which is tied for the most number of different goalscorers across a single squad in the Western Conference this season. So far this season, Sporting KC has found goals from Felipe Gutierrez (5), Johnny Russell (2), Ilie Sanchez (2), Graham Zusi (2), Daniel Salloi (1), Jimmy Medranda (1) and Diego Rubio (1).

Kuzain continued to develop in 2017 with the Rangers, where he helped Sporting KC’s USL affiliate to a second straight Western Conference championship. He debuted for the club last March and signed his first professional contract with the club in July, ending the campaign with 13 games played. His 91.3-percent passing accuracy last season ranked first in the USL among players with at least five appearances.

Sporting KC found it difficult to score on the road last season, only scoring 10 times in the club’s 17 away games in 2017 and only winning twice on the road. In just three road games this year, Sporting KC has already found the net eight times and has already matched last season’s road win total of two with victories over the Chicago Fire (March 10) and the Galaxy (April 8). Sporting also only scored multiple goals on the road two times in 2017 but has done so in all three of the club’s away games so far in 2018.

Kuzain started each of the Rangers’ first four matches this season, completing 90.8 percent of his passes while leading the team with eight tackles won. SPR currently occupies first place in the USL’s Western Conference with a 3-1-1 record. As a youth player, Kuzain previously trained with the United States U-17 Men’s National Team in 2013 and 2014 as well as Dutch club Feyenoord in late 2015.

VERMES ERA CONTINUES

LOOKING TO EXTEND PLAYOFF STREAK

Now in the midst of his 10th season at the helm of Sporting Kansas City, manager Peter Vermes is looking to guide his side to yet another postseason appearance and remain firmly in the hunt for silverware in 2018.

Sporting KC is looking to continue it’s impressive streak of postseason appearances after becoming just the sixth club in MLS history to make at least seven straight trips to the MLS Cup Playoffs, while Manager Peter Vermes is now just the fourth coach to lead the same team to seven straight playoff appearances.

Vermes is now the longest tenured coach that is actively coaching a team in Major League Soccer, having been in charge of Sporting KC since 2009 - one year longer than Ben Olsen has been running the show at D.C. United. Vermes became the longest tenured coach in MLS when former LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena took the U.S. National Team coaching gig in November 2016, having been in charge of the Galaxy since 2008.

LONGEST MLS PLAYOFF STREAKS Club Seasons LA Galaxy 10 (1996-2005) Seattle Sounders FC 9 (2009-2017) *active LA Galaxy 8 (2009-2016) New York Red Bulls 8 (2010-2017) *active NE Revolution 8 (2002-2009) Real Salt Lake 7 (2008-2014) Sporting KC 7 (2011-2017) *active

Vermes has guided Sporting KC to four titles under his watch, winning three Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups in 2012, 2015 and 2017, and the MLS Cup in 2013. His trophy haul ranks as the second highest among active MLS coaches - only trailing the legendary Sigi Schmid, who is currently at the helm of the LA Galaxy.

LONGEST MLS PLAYOFF STREAKS BY A COACH WITH THE SAME TEAM Coach Club Years Seasons Bruce Arena LA Galaxy 8 2009-2016 Steve Nicol NE Revolution 8 2002-2009 Peter Vermes Sporting KC 7 2011-2017 (active) Sigi Scmid Seattle Sounders 7 2009-2015

LA Galaxy 6 1999-2004 Jason Kreis Real Salt Lake 6 2008-2013

On a local level, Vermes’ 10 years with Sporting KC is the second longest tenure by a head coach in the history of major KC professional sports behind Super Bowl champion and Pro Football Hall of Famer Hank Stram, who served as Chiefs head coach from 1963-1974.

Vermes has compiled a 148-107-86 record in all competitions with Sporting KC, including a remarkable 18-5-3 mark in U.S. Open Cup contests. Vermes’ 119 wins in MLS regular-season action ranks third among all coaches in MLS history, trailing the Galaxy’s Schmid and Los Angeles FC’s Bob Bradley, and one ahead of Orlando City SC head coach Jason Kreis.

VERMES VERBATIM

BESLER & ZUSI ON CUSP OF HISTORY

See below for Sporting KC Manager Peter Vermes’ comments following the 2-2 draw with Seattle Sounders FC at Children’s Mercy Park on April 15, 2018:

By playing in their 10th season with Sporting KC, Besler and Zusi match legendary midfielder Davy Arnaud for most seasons in club history. On a wider scale, only two other pro athletes have longer tenures in Kansas City: Kansas City Royals (MLB) outfielder Alex Gordon and Kansas City Chiefs (NFL) linebacker Tamba Hali.

Thoughts on the match: “Well, I thought we gave up a silly goal to end the half. And then we had a broken play where we give up our second goal. They were two opportunistic goals on their part.

Credit to them and shame on us. I think that we gave up two very soft goals tonight.

One was a lack of concentration. The other one was poor decisions all the way around.

It’s good we fought back but I would also say that we weren’t at our best tonight, for whatever reason I don’t know. We’ll have to evaluate that. All in all, to get a point was good to get out of this game that way.”

Sporting Kansas City defenders Matt Besler and Graham Zusi are set to match several records as they play their 10th straight season with the club.

Besler is set to reach some all-time milestones in 2018 as well. With another eight starts in MLS regular-season play, Besler will become Sporting KC’s all-time appearance leader, overtaking Arnaud who currently sits on 240 appearances in MLS action. In addition, Besler is one start and 54 minutes shy of matching current assistant coach Kerry Zavagnin as the club leader in each of those categories.

On coming from behind to secure a point: “There’s no doubt the group has an attitude of being able to come back from being down. They don’t get upset with being down and give up. They’re good in that regard and we’ve got to keep going. But we should have been better throughout the game not to be in that position.”

Zusi, who is second among all active MLS players in assists, can also rise up the charts this season, as his next assist will tie him for 24th most in MLS history, while his next game-winning assist will tie him with Jaime Moreno for eighth most in MLS history. Additionally, Zusi’s next game winning goal will break tie with Digital Takawira for seventh most in team history.

On the team’s next match against Vancouver: “For us, it’s just another three points out in front of us. We’ve got to try and do our best to try and get three. It’s not going to be an easy match. They’re a very good team, extremely athletic and we’re going to have to be prepared.”

Sporting KC Game Notes | April 20, 2018 vs. Vancouver Whitecaps 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 entering his 10th season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2017 and is the longest-tenured active head coach in MLS. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 148 coaching victories in all competitions are the most club history. During his tenure, he has won four major trophies – the 2012, 2015 and 2017 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups and the 2013 MLS Cup championship – and finished atop the Eastern Conference regular-season standings in 2011 and 2012. He is the first coach in club history to lead Sporting KC to seven straight postseason appearances, as well as the only person to ever win the MLS Cup as both a player and a coach with the same team. His 119 regular-season wins top the club’s all-time chart and rank sixth most in MLS history. He passed his former coach Bob Gansler as the winningest manager in team history with a 3-1 win over Real Salt Lake on Aug. 12, 2015, his 109th victory in all competitions. He has coached 341 total games during his Kansas City coaching career, most in club history.

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

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

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

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.

Goalkeeper Coach | Alec Dufty Goalkeeper coach Alec Dufty enters his second season with Sporting Kansas City having been introduced to the organization as the Swope Park Rangers goalkeeper coach in the side’s inaugural season in 2016.

A former MLS player, Dufty began his playing career with the New York Red Bulls in 2009, going on to make one appearance before joining the MLS reserve goalkeeper pool. In 2010, Dufty joined USSF D2 Pro League side AC St. Louis, making 30 appearances before returning to MLS with the Chicago Fire in late 2010.

He announced his retirement at the conclusion of the 2011 season. Dufty then took to coaching, first working with Florida Gulf Coast University and then the University of Illinois at Chicago. In 2015, Dufty served as goalkeeper coach for Toronto FC II in their inaugural USL season.

Zusi has earned 55 caps for the U.S. Men’s National Team since debuting in January 2012, recording five goals and seven assists.

THREE STORYLINES TOP OF THE TABLE: Friday’s matchup pits two of the top teams in the Western Conference table. Sporting KC are first at 14 points, while the ‘Caps are third at 10 points.

BOUNCING BACK: The resilient ‘Caps are looking to bounce back after suffering consecutive losses for the first time in 40 matches, dating back to March 2017.

SWEEP LAST YEAR: The ‘Caps stymied the SKC attack in 2017, shutting them out in both meetings - 2-0 at BC Place in May, and 1-0 at Children’s Mercy Park in September. The road match saw Stefan Marinović record his first clean sheet for WFC. SKC lead the conference with 14 goals in 2018.

NEWS & NUMBERS AWAY FORM: Since 2014, the ‘Caps 22 away regular season wins are the most by any team in MLS. They are tied with Sporting KC for the second most road clean sheets with 19 in that span. FC Dallas have recorded 20.

ROAD GUNNER: Brek Shea has scored in three of the ‘Caps four road matches this season. Six of his seven goals for WFC in MLS play have come on the road, including four as a substitute.

READY TO GO: Anthony Blondell is back after suffering a concussion vs. RSL on April 7. Last year, he led the Venezuelan Primera División with 24 goals, including eight game-winners, in addition to six assists in 35 starts and 39 appearances.
