Sporting KC Game Notes | May 17, 2017 vs. Seattle Sounders FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #SKCvSEA: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#SKCvSEA: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City is will face Seattle Sounders FC on Wednesday night, having gone unbeaten in the last five meetings between the two sides (3-0-2) and winning both contests in the 2016 regular season. Despite that recent record, Sporting KC still trails Seattle 7-4-3 in regular-season matchups, making the Sounders one of just six active teams that Sporting KC has a losing record against.

Sporting KC won the first-ever meeting between the two sides on April 11, 2009 at Qwest Field, with Davy Arnaud’s 80th-minute goal leading his side to a 1-0 victory on the road.

Sporting KC is now unbeaten in five against the Sounders, though they did fall to a controversial 1-0 defeat in the Knockout Round of the 2016 MLS Cup Playoffs on Oct. 27, 2016.

Last year, Nuno Andre Coelho scored on his debut for the club to clinch a 1-0 victory at CenturyLink Field during the season opener on March 6, 2016, before Sporting KC dispatched Seattle with a comfortable 3-0 home win on July 24, 2016 behind two goals from Dom Dwyer and a further strike from Jacob Peterson.

Sporting KC Game Notes | May 17, 2017 vs. Seattle Sounders FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes HOME SWEET HOME

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

BRACE FOR A BLESSING

Sporting Kansas City currently boasts the longest active home unbeaten streak in Major League Soccer. The side has gone 14 games at Children’s Mercy Park without defeat since last falling 1-0 to D.C. United on May 27, 2016. Prior to this weekend, Sporting KC had the second longest active home undefeated streak, trailing on the New York Red Bulls who suffered their first defeat at Red Bull Arena since April 9, 2016 on Sunday against the LA Galaxy.

Sporting Kansas City forward Latif Blessing burst onto the scene in Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Orlando City SC at Orlando City Stadium. Blessing, starting in place of the suspended Dom Dwyer who received his league-leading fifth yellow card of the season against Minnesota, scored both goals as Sporting KC became the first side to take a point away from Orlando City Stadium since its opening at the start of the 2017 campaign. Blessing opened the scoring in the ninth minute with a tap in from close range after Gerso’s ball was almost forced home by Matt Besler before adding his second to equalize in the 74th minute when Benny Feilhaber’s shot was saved.

Sporting KC is 4-0-1 at home this season, picking up 13 of the club’s 19 points at Children’s Mercy Park. Peter Vermes’ side is also in the midst of a four-game home winning run, earning victories over the San Jose Earthquakes (March 18), the Colorado Rapids (April 9), Real Salt Lake (April 29) and the New York Red Bulls (May 3). That four-game home winning streak is tied for the longest active streak with Toronto FC, and is one shy of matching Orlando City SC’s run where they won their first five home games at Orlando City Stadium before drawing 2-2 with Sporting KC on Saturday night.

The 20-year-old Ghanaian made history by becoming the youngest Sporting KC player to bag a brace in all competitions at the age of 20 years and 134 days. Blessing beat the previous record held by Matt McKeon, who scored twice in a 3-1 win over Columbus Crew SC on May 22, 1997 at the age of 22 years and 240 days.

Blessing also became the fifth player to score twice in his first start for Sporting KC, joining Digital Takawira (April 13, 1996 vs. COL), Mo Johnston (May 2, 1996 vs. CLB), Birahim Diop (Aug. 21, 2010 vs. NE) and Omar Bravo (March 19, 2011 at CHV).

Seattle Sounders FC are 1-3-2 on the road this season, including Saturday’s 4-1 setback against the Chicago Fire at Toyota Park. The Sounders opened the season 0-2-2 on the road before cruising to a 3-0 victory over the LA Galaxy at the StubHub Center on April 23. However, that match was followed up with a home draw against New England and a home defeat to Toronto FC before the 4-1 thrashing in Chicago on Saturday to extend Seattle’s winless streak to three.

TRIGGER HAPPY

If this season’s trends are any indication, Wednesday’s game between Sporting Kansas City and Seattle Sounders FC should see plenty of shots. Sporting KC leads all of MLS in 2017 with 154 shots, while Seattle sits just three shots behind in second place. The major difference between the two sides is that Sporting KC is also near the summit in shots on target, sitting third with 56, while the Sounders are 18th in shots on goal with 40.

SOUNDING OFF

Wednesday’s match will be the 15th MLS regular-season meeting between Sporting Kansas City and Seattle Sounders FC, with Seattle holding a commanding 7-4-3 lead in the all-time series between the two clubs. However, Sporting KC are unbeaten in their last five games against the Sounders, going 3-0-2 since the start of the 2015 season.

Sporting KC are led by Dom Dwyer, who is sixth in MLS with 33 shots and tied for second with 17 on target, and is followed by winger Gerso, who has taken 24 shots with 14 on target. Among players to take at least 20 shots so far this year, Gerso is fifth with a 70 percent shooting accuracy on his 24 shots, while Dwyer is eighth as 65.38 percent of his shots have been on frame.

Last season, Sporting KC traveled to CenturyLink Field for the club’s season opener on March 6, 2016 and a goal from debutant Nuno Andre Coelho made the difference as Sporting KC won at CenturyLink Field for the first time ever and won in Seattle for the first time since the inaugural MLS match between the two sides on April 11, 2009 at Qwest Field. On July 24, 2016, Sporting KC cruised to a 3-0 win over the Sounders at Children’s Mercy Park when a brace from Dom Dwyer and a first-half wonderstrike from Jacob Peterson clinched all three points. It was Seattle coach Sigi Schmid’s final game with the club, as he was let go just days after that defeat. The season ended on a sour note as Seattle eliminated Sporting KC from the MLS Cup Playoffs in the Knockout Round when Nelson Valdez scored late from an offside position to give the Sounders a 1-0 victory on Oct. 27, 2016.

Seattle, on the other hand, are led by Clint Dempsey who is second in MLS with 42 shots in 2017, just two behind league-leading Sebastian Giovinco. Despite the volume of shots, Dempsey sits in a tie for 22nd with a measly 10 shots on target. That boils down to a shooting accuracy of 32.26 percent - the second lowest among the 41 players to take at least 20 shots. The only player lower is Sporting KC’s Jimmy Medranda, whose four shots on target from 21 shots sees him at a 26.67 percent shooting accuracy. Orlando City SC’s Cyle Larin as the highest shooting accuracy, putting 77.27 percent of his 24 shots on target.

DOG WHISTLE

Sporting KC and Seattle Sounders FC have a dated history in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, with Sporting KC notably winning the 2012 edition of the tournament with a penalty shootout victory over the Sounders at Children’s Mercy Park. Kei Kamara and Zach Scott traded late goals in regulation before a goalless extra time period led to penalties that Sporting KC won, 3-2. Prior to that, the two sides had met in the competition in 2001, 2008 and 2009, which Sporting KC winning the first meeting and Seattle claiming the latter two.

Sporting Kansas City matched a club record during Saturday’s game in Orlando, as the side did not commit one foul for the entirety of the first half. That was the first time in Sporting KC’s history that the club did not concede a foul in the first half of play, and the second time the club has not committed a foul in a half of play, having also done so in the second half of a 3-1 road win over FC Dallas on May 10, 2003.

Sporting KC forward Dom Dwyer ranks first and third in fouls committed and fouls suffered across all of MLS. Dwyer has committed a total of 26 fouls in 10 games so far this year, one ahead of Portland midfielder Sebastian Blanco. Additionally, Dwyer sits third in MLS with 28 fouls suffered, trailing New York’s Felipe Martins by 11 and San Jose’s Anibal Godoy by three.

PASS MASTERCLASS

In Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Orlando City SC at Orlando City Stadium, Sporting Kansas City put on something of a passing masterclass to become the first team to come away with a point from Orlando’s home venue this season. Sporting KC completed 88.8 percent of their passes throughout the game, which is the second highest pass percentage the club has had in the Opta era (2010-present).

In 2016, Dwyer was fourth with 74 fouls suffered and fifth in fouls committed with 66.

Since joining the league in 2012 when Sporting KC selected him in the SuperDraft, the 26-year-old is the fifth most fouled player in MLS (264) and has also committed the third most fouls with 230. Benny Feilhaber is just behind Dwyer in sixth in fouls suffered with 255.

The only time the side has had a higher passing percentage in the last seven years was during a 3-0 victory over the Montreal Impact at Stade Saputo on May 10, 2014 when Collen Warner was sent off in the 17th minute, allowing Sporting KC to enjoy a 91.8 percent passing percentage on their way to a road victory.

So far in 2017, Sporting KC has the fifth highest swing in fouls suffered to fouls committed, having suffered 27 more fouls (146) than the side has committed (119). Only Wednesday’s opponents Seattle Sounders FC, Minnesota United FC, the New York Red Bulls and the Chicago Fire have a larger swing in that category.

Additionally, nine Sporting KC players have completed more than 96 percent of their passes (minimum 30 attempts) in an MLS match since 2010. An astonishing three of those occasions came on Saturday, as Jimmy Medranda, Graham Zusi and Matt Besler all launched themselves into the leaderboards.

Player Jimmy Medranda Graham Zusi Matt Besler

Passes Attempted 32 62 54

Passes Completed 31 60 52

Passing % 96.88 96.77 96.30

Midfielder Ilie still leads the club this season with 806 passes attempted and 675 passes completed, which rank third and fourth in all of MLS, respectively. He is closely followed

by Besler, whose 723 attempted passes and 621 completed passes each places fifth in the league.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES (CONTINUED)

RUBIO REMAINS OUT WITH ACL INJURY

Sporting Kansas City midfielder Benny Feilhaber is tied for second on the team with two goals and his two assists place him in a tie for first on the squad, while he is now just one regular-season assist from reaching 50 all-time - nine for the New England Revolution and 40 for Sporting KC. On Saturday night in Orlando, Feilhaber’s shot was saved by Joe Bendik and fell straight toward Latif Blessing to score the equalizing goal in the 74th minute.

Sporting KC forward Diego Rubio suffered a torn Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) in his right knee during training on Oct. 14, 2016 and remains sidelined for the foreseeable future. Rubio recorded three goals and one assist in 20 appearances across all competitions in 2016 after 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.

On top of his exploits on the scoresheet, Feilhaber is also tied for second in MLS with 2.89 chances created per game - only trailing his childhood friend and New York Red Bulls midfielder Sacha Kljestan’s 3.27 - and fourth with 1.89 chances created from open play per game among players to play in at least two games this season.

In September, 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.

GER-SO FINE

Sporting KC Designated Player Gerso continues to excite game-after-game with his outstanding dribbling ability. Gerso is currently third in MLS with 48 dribbles attempted across the opening 11 games of the season, while his 25 completed dribbles ranks in a tie for third.

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.

Gerso has two goals for Sporting KC so far this campaign, notching the game-winner against Colorado on April 9 before adding the third goal deep into stoppage time in the 3-0 victory over Real Salt Lake on April 29. On Saturday night in Florida, Gerso dribbled in behind the Orlando City SC defense on two occasions and whipped in low crosses that were eventually turned home by Latif Blessing, though he wasn’t credited with assists on either strike.

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.

PLAYOFF STREAK

Sporting KC is third in the league in dribbles attempted 227, while their 107 successful dribbles are tied for first in MLS. The San Jose Earthquakes lead the league in dribbles attempted with 235 and are joined by Sporting KC as the leaders in dribbles completed with 107. Seattle Sounders FC are ninth in MLS with 191 dribbles attempted and are tied for fifth with 89 dribbles completed. Joevin Jones, who is suspended for Wednesday’s game, leads Seattle with 44 dribbles attempted - tied for fourth in MLS - and 25 dribbles completed - tied for third alongside Gerso.

Sporting KC is looking to become the sixth club in MLS history to make at least seven straight trips to the postseason, while Manager Peter Vermes would be just the fourth coach to lead the same team to seven straight playoff appearances.

Besler and Sinovic have started 116 of the 207 games since the trade, posting 44 of the club’s 74 shutouts alongside one another.

Individually, Besler leads the league in shutouts since Sinovic joined the club with 60, while Sinovic is second with 53. Besler and Sinovic have started in each of Sporting KC’s last 12 regular-season games, conceding just seven goals - a rate of 0.58 per game.

VERMES VERBATIM

DWYER CLOSING IN ON PREKI

On playing without Dom Dwyer and giving Latif Blessing his first start...

“He’s a very busy guy, very quick. He’s a little bit of an X-factor. He’s got a great nose for the goal, incredible instincts in and around the attacking third. Those were two very opportunistic goals tonight. We expected that he’d be difficult to deal with because look at his size, just the quickness and everything. We figured that might be a little bit of a different player that they weren’t used to seeing before but the fact that he lasted as long as he did is the really big thing for me. He gave a great effort tonight and that’s what I commend him for the most.”

After yet another season of rampant goalscoring, forward Dom Dwyer is now within touching distance of Sporting KC legend Preki for the most goals in both MLS and in all competitions.

Dwyer has scored five goals in his last six games to bring his regular-season total to 57, and 66 in all competitions. Dwyer sits just 14 MLS goals and 15 strikes in all competitions shy of Preki’s all-time records of 71 and 81, respectively.

The 26-year-old has amassed 55 goals since the start of the 2014 season. Only Bradley Wright-Phillips has scored more MLS goals in that time period than Dwyer, and took home the MLS Golden Boot titles in 2014 and 2016.

On the importance of putting a performance together...

“I’ll be honest with you, last week we played against Minnesota we didn’t play bad we just had two really bad actions. Then we lacked the intensity and they had more. Sometimes that happens and what the difference is tonight that I liked is the fact that we came after being down two-one that we came back and I thought we had a chance to win it. I’m happy with the perseverance throughout the game and the guys know it too and that’s even better instead of me having to say something. That part is a big step in the right direction, especially with how many changes we’ve made to our team and new guys and all those things. With having to figure out going from one game to the next, if you lose and how you respond and all those things, so I think it was a good step in the right direction for us tonight.”

Another factor that comes into play is Dwyer’s longevity. The Londoner is the only Sporting KC player to appear in at least 36 games in all competitions over the last three seasons.

Sporting KC Game Notes | May 17, 2017 vs. 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 ninth season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2017. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 133 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 first coach in club history to lead Sporting KC to six 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 108 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 305 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 first season with Sporting Kansas City having been introduced to the organization as Sporting KC’s USL affiliate - 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.

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.

SOUNDERS AND RAINIERS REACH MOU Seattle Sounders FC and the Tacoma Rainiers announced that they have reached a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), progressing to build a 5,000-seat, soccer-specific stadium on the footprint of Cheney Stadium in Central Tacoma. The proposed site is set to be the future home of Sounders FC’s rebranded United Soccer League franchise, which would be co-managed by the Rainiers alongside Sounders FC, with the former managing business operations and the latter controlling the soccer and sporting infrastructure.

This news was originally reported by ESPN Analyst Taylor Twellman on last Saturday’s national broadcast from CenturyLink Field.

The partnership brings together two of the Northwest’s premier professional sports organizations to reach a first-of-its-kind relationship in USL within the same regional market. The Tacoma Rainiers are an award-winning franchise that has been a staple of the South Sound community for over 50 years, operating as the top affiliate of Major League Baseball’s Seattle Mariners.

They will operate the business side of the new era of the USL club, taking advantage of the decades of experience operating a professional organization in the Tacoma market, while Sounders FC is set to maintain leadership over soccer operations and sporting infrastructure. With key details coming together - including a name for the organization that is representative of its new home the MOU and stadium progress represent tangible news for soccer fans in the South Sound.

Sounders FC’s soccer operations are set to remain at Starfire Sports, the club’s Tukwila-based training ground. The First Team, S2 and Sounders FC Academy will all continue to train at Starfire under watchful eye of the club’s technical staff led by General Manager & President of Soccer Garth Lagerwey.

Additionally, Sounders FC is currently engaged with the Sounders Community Trust (SCT) - a charitable, fan and supporter-managed, non-profit organization that maintains a 20-percent interest of Sounders FC 2 - about next steps in Tacoma.

SOUNDERS FC WEEKLY NOTES HOME FORTRESS

LAST MEETING VS. SPORTING

Sounders FC’s loss on May 6 to Toronto FC snapped the club’s 11-match home unbeaten streak dating back to July of last season. The run was the second longest in club history in regular-season play, trailing only a run of 14 results back in 2013. Including the club’s three home wins in the 2016 MLS Cup Playoffs en route to the MLS Cup title, Seattle went unbeaten in 14 matches across all competitions at CenturyLink Field, outscoring opponents 27-9 in that span.

Nelson Valdez’s header in the 88th minute sealed a late 1-0 victory for Sounders FC over Sporting Kansas City in the 2016 Western Conference Knockout Round, as the club advanced to the Conference Semifinals in the 2016 Audi MLS Cup Playoffs for the third consecutive season. Valdez scored his first MLS goal of the season in the 88th minute, breaking through the deadlock of a tense and tumultuous Knockout Round fixture. The Paraguayan sent the home crowd into a frenzy, connecting on a Joevin Jones cross to head in the goal.

2016-2017 HOME UNBEATEN STREAK (ALL COMPETITIONS)

The goal was Valdez’s second career postseason strike, joining the company of Osvaldo Alonso, Eddie Johnson, Brad Evans and Clint Dempsey as the only Sounders FC players with multiple postseason goals. Valdez previously scored in a 3-2 victory over the LA Galaxy in last season’s Knockout Round on October 28, 2015.
