LAST MATCH  The turning point of the match came when RSL defender Aaron Maund was whistled for a foul in the area in the 88th minute after kicking out at Rapids forward Luis Solignac and referee Kevin Stott awarded a penalty. But Rapids midfielder Dillon Powers hit the spot kick wide right.  RSL goalkeeper Nick Rimando was called upon to make just one save in keeping the clean sheet, as was Rapids goalkeeper Clint Irwin.  RSL head coach Jeff Cassar made four changes to the team that fell 2-1 to Vancouver Whitecaps FC at BC Place.

REAL SALT LAKE (4-1-2-3): Nick Rimando - Tony Beltran, Jamison Olave (Aaron Maund 6), Elias Vasquez, Abdoulie Mansally - Javier Morales - Luke Mulholland, John Stertzer - Sebastian Jaime (Olmes Garcia 63), Alvaro Saborio (Devon Sandoval 80), Joao Plata.

TEAM NEWS  Real Salt Lake had their winless streak extended to three games with their second shutout in that time in the scoreless draw with Colorado.  “If you don’t take care of business like that you’re going to kind of be where we’re at right now, and that’s on the outside looking in. [The Colorado game] was a big opportunity for us to get ourselves back in the mix there. I thought we pushed, we wanted it, we tried. We talk about getting that first goal and more will come after that.

You’ve got to get that first one before it opens up,” said RSL head coach Jeff Cassar.  RSL haven’t lost at Rio Tinto Stadium in their last four home games, with three draws in that time. Overall, they have won twice in their last 11 games, since winning back-to-back games March 29-April 5.  Goalkeeper Nick Rimando saw a third penalty missed against him this season, out of five attempts overall. For his career, Rimando has faced 70 penalty kicks total, and has seen 26 of those missed. Nine of the last 12 penalty kicks Rimando has faced in league play have not been successful.  “You’ve got to win your home games,” Rimando said. “We didn’t do that and we’ve just got to continue to fight and hopefully get those points back somewhere along the line.”  With Joao Plata making his second start of the season, in the last two matches, Cassar ran out a forward line of Plata, Sebastian Jaime and Alvaro Saborio together for the first time.  “You can still see that they’re not quite 90 minutes fit and they’re having to go 90 minutes. That’s tough.

Especially when we have to make a substitution in the back line a minute into the game. … We could’ve used some fresher legs in the attack. But I thought the guys put forth a great effort and just came up short,” Cassar said.  Jamison Olave returned to the starting lineup after missing out on the Vancouver match through suspension.

But he was forced off the field after just six minutes vs. Colorado through injury.  Kyle Beckerman was out of the starting lineup for the first time this season in league play, on international duty with the USA for their friendlies vs. Germany and the Netherlands.  “[Rimando] was supposed to be here the whole time. We had been communication with U.S. Soccer trying to get both of them back. We knew Nick was coming back the whole entire time and it was still up in the air if Kyle was going to come back. But they have a few players that have some injuries on the national team, so they couldn’t afford to let Kyle go,” Cassar said  On Tuesday, Real Salt Lake survived their U.S. Open Cup fourth-round tie, coming back to defeat Seattle Sounders 2 of the USL 2-1 at Rio Tinto Stadium. Joao Plata and Javier Morales scored seven minutes apart midway through the second half to overcome a first-half deficit.  Here’s the RSL team: Jeff Attinella, Boyd Okwuonu, Justen Glad (Phanuel Kavita 39), Demar Phillips, Aaron Maund, Luis Gil, Wellington Paeckart (Javier Morales 58), John Stertzer, Joao Plata, Olmes Garcia (Alvaro Saborio 83), Devon Sandoval.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City made it seven games in a row without defeat, winning a second consecutive game last time out in a 1-0 win against Seattle Sounders FC on June 6 at Sporting Park. Sporting are in third place in the Western Conference with 24 points from 14 matches.

LAST MATCH  The game's lone goal came in the 84th minute. SKC's Dom Dwyer got his head to a cross as Sounders FC goalkeeper was able to punch the ball away, also colliding with the forward, and referee Ismail Elfath pointed to the spot. Benny Feilhaber put the penalty calmly inside the left post for the winner.  SKC goalkeeper Tim Melia made a career-high six saves for the shutout. He was beaten midway through the second half by Sounders FC forward Lamar Neagle, only for the offside flag to be raised in a close decision.  SKC manager Peter Vermes made one change to the team that rolled to a 4-0 win against FC Dallas at Sporting Park. Marcel de Jong came into the team in place of Krisztian Nemeth.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Tim Melia - Jalil Anibaba, Kevin Ellis, Matt Besler, Amadou Dia - Soni Mustivar - Benny Feilhaber, Roger Espinoza - Connor Hallisey (Saad Abdul-Salaam 85), Graham Zusi, Marcel de Jong (Dom Dwyer 58).

TEAM NEWS  Sporting Kansas City extended their undefeated streak to seven games with a second consecutive victory in the win vs. Seattle.  It was the first back-to-back wins for Sporting since March 28-April 5; SKC has lost just once over their last 12 league matches, dating back to March 21.  “We really do take it one game at a time. We really look at every point as just as important as the other points.

At the same time, it's nice to beat these guys because in the past there have been some calls that haven't gone

our way, some plays haven't gone our way. We haven't played well, so it's nice to win this game,” said defender Matt Besler. “The biggest thing for us is that it is a conference rival game. They were sitting in first place. It's a six-point game and we took care of business at home.”

Benny Feilhaber scored a goal for a second consecutive league game and a third in the last four, converting a penalty kick for the second time in that span.

Sporting also extended their shutout streak to 296 minutes, the second-longest in MLS this season, with a third consecutive defensive clean sheet.

“I just feel like defensively we are in a good rhythm right now. There is confidence behind us with Tim [Melia] and I just feel like guys are making plays when they need to. As a team we are defending well, but individually there are players that are stepping up in the right moments. … The last couple of games have been like that where there have been a number of guys who stepped up and made plays,” said Besler.

Said Melia: “It wasn't our cleanest game, but at the end of the day, we'll take 1-0 and move on. Obviously we have a lot of injuries right now and a bunch of games in a short time, so the fact that we're getting results in the fashion that we are is really going to be huge for the rest of the season when we're at full strength.”

Marcel de Jong made his first start since April 25, coming into a wide attacking role in the Sporting three-man front. Each of his first six starts in MLS play had been at left back.

After missing the Seattle and Dallas matches with a groin strain, Dom Dwyer was able to return to action, coming on as a substitute for the final half-hour.

With Dwyer out, Graham Zusi started as the spearhead in attack in the center of the forward line.

“Early on, we struggled to get wins against the conference teams,” said Zusi. “But of late, we've been finding ways to win and each guy has made a solid impact. The understanding of roles and responsibilities on the field, the understanding of the style we want to play, the execution of that, is what's leading to all of these wins.”

On Tuesday, Sporting advanced in the U.S. Open Cup with a 1-0 fourth-round win against Saint Louis FC of the USL. The game’s lone goal was scored by Graham Zusi in the 70th minute.

Here’s the SKC team: Tim Melia, Kevin Ellis, Amadou Dia (Marcel de Jong 81), Matt Besler, Chance Myers (Saad Abdul-Salaam 56), Graham Zusi, Roger Espinoza, Benny Feilhaber, Connor Hallisey (Jacob Peterson 68), Soni Mustivar, Dom Dwyer.

INTERNATIONAL DUTY

GUATEMALA: DF Elias Vasquez (out until June 24)

CUP REMATCH SETS UP BUDDING RIVALRY:

RSL faces Sporting Kansas City Sunday at Rio Tinto Stadium, the first Utah-based rematch of MLS Cup 2013 between the clubs ... In its last visit to Utah, Peter Vermes’ club won 2-1 in disputed fashion, the fiery match ultimately determining which team would later host that year’s Cup ... Since RSL lost the frigid shootout at Sporting Park on Dec. 7, 2013, it has gone back to Kansas in each of the last two seasons to earn points in 0-0 draws ...

MAESTRO MORALES HAS OPEN CUP FEVER:

Earlier this week - on a Tuesday, RSL won 2-1 at home over USL side Sounders 2 in Open Cup play ... The 57’ insertion of veteran MF Javier Morales changed the game, allowing RSL to reverse an 0-1 halftime deficit with “The Maestro” pulling the strings and setting up FW Joao Plata’s equalizer before scoring the gamewinner himself ...

Thursday, RSL drew the #1 slot in the West Region of the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, hosting Portland Timbers and former club standouts Nat Borchers and Will Johnson on Wed., July 1 ... Should RSL win that match, it would also host the Quarterfinal match against the SJ/LA winner on July 21 ...

CRITICAL HOMESTAND FOR CASSAR’S CLUB:

Sunday’s visit by Sporting KC comes amidst a run of six home games out of 8 in MLS league play from June 7 July 24, a run that grows to 8 home games out of 10 in a 44-day period with Open Cup matches ...

RSL’s middling 2-4-2 road form this season, along with just a 2-1-4 home mark, have left Jeff Cassar’s club with little margin for error in a parity-driven and extremely competitive Western Conference race, so racking up critical (maximum) points at Rio Tinto Stadium - despite the spectres of international duty and ongoing formation changes - is imperative for the club ...

WILL RIOT HOME-COOKING PREVAIL?:

Since the beginning of 2008, RSL boasts an 89-19-37 mark in its last 145 home games (all comps) in that span, during which it has outscored opponents by 157 goals (263-106), with a 72-14-34 reg. season mark (217/87), 6-1-1 CCL record (17/5), 5-2-2 playoffs (11/4), as well as a 6-2-0 Open Cup mark (18/10) ...

RSL did not seize three points to kick off the homestand, drawing 0-0 back on June 7 against Rocky Mountain Cup rival Colorado in a game that saw Cassar’s side create numerous chances, but fail to put quality shots on frame and truly threaten the Rapids’ goal ...

ALL-TIME HISTORY v SPORTING/WIZARDS:

RSL owns a 5-8-5 MLS regular season record and just a 6-8-6 record across all competitions against Kansas City ...

The clubs have faced off 10 times across all competitions in Utah, with RSL posting a 5-3-1 home record against the club, RSL’s 2nd-worst home mark against any club (4-3-1 against Columbus - next Saturday’s visitor ...

Back in 2009, Kansas City was the first visitor to win a regular-season match at Rio Tinto Stadium, riding two Josh Wolff goals in a May victory that was RSL’s last loss prior to a 37-game unbeaten home streak in all comps (4/27/11, 0-1 to Monterrey) ...

Kansas City’s last visit - back on July 20, 2013, RSL lost 1-2 in the 97’ on Ike Opara’s header - snapped an 11-game unbeaten run for the Claret/Cobalt across all competitions (6-0-2 MLS, 3-0-0 in Open Cup) that had seen RSL outscore its opposition 30-9 ...

That loss nearly two years ago was also’s RSL last loss to an Eastern Conference team - home or away - prior to the 4-0 loss suffered by RSL at New England back on April 25 of this year ...

DOUBLE DISAPPOINTMENT:

2013 will forever be remembered in RSL lore for the frigid PK shootout at Kansas City in MLS Cup 2013 just 7 weeks after losing the home Open Cup Final to D.C., becoming the only team out of 11 all-time to have advanced to both the USOC and MLS Cup Finals, but winning neither ...

MLS CUP 2013 REMATCH AT SPORTING PARK:

“RSL Family” is still pained at memories of its frigid shootout loss at MLS Cup 2013 in Kansas City, remembering a trio of shots that hit Jimmy Nielsen’s woodwork - Robbie Findley, Kyle Beckerman, Javier Morales - as well as a 2nd Alvaro Saborio goal disallowed due to offsides and an Aurelien Collin challenge on a Findley breakaway that could have seen a 2nd yellow on the centerback ...

Saborio put the Claret-and-Cobalt on top in the 52nd minute, firing a 20-yard half volley home past Nielsen ...

Morales thought he had put RSL up 2-0 when a chip beat Nielsen but skipped off the post just prior to Sporting KC‘s equalizer in the 76th minute, when Collin buried a FW Graham Zusi corner kick from 10 yards out ...

After regulation and extra time left the sides tied at 1-1, the teams entered a penalty kick shootout ... The sides traded goals and misses until the 10th round, when Collin buried his penalty for SKC before former RSL DF Lovel Palmer sent his spot kick off the crossbar to give SKC the shootout by a 7-6 margin ...

DEFENSIVE DISARRAY:

While RSL was able to secure a 0-0 draw at KC in April - one of three road clean sheets for the club in 2015 RSL’s central defense has been hit hard by injury and international duty ...

Just 2’ into the June 7 home match against Colorado, veteran DF Jamison Olave suffered an upper groin strain, forcing him out ... RSL’s other starting CB, veteran Chris Schuler (knee) hasn’t played since April 11 at Kansas City, opening the door for starts in 10 of the last 11 matches for 22-year old Guatemalan international Elias Vasquez ...

Vasquez - who went the full 180’ in Guatemala’s 1-0 aggregate World Cup qualifying win over Bermuda earlier this week - will likely not be available Sunday due to visa issues, leaving Jeff Cassar with DF Aaron Maund - who has started three MLS matches this season and one of two homegrown rookies in the other spot, Phanuel Kavita or Justen Glad ...

Glad started Tuesday in U.S. Open Cup play for RSL, but had to leave in the 39th minute after Sounders 2 FW Aaron Craven fell on his head, forcing the 18-year old to complain of dizziness ... Glad - whose status for Sunday is unknown - was then replaced by Kavita, the former 4-year Clemson starter and 2-year captain of the Tigers’ elite program ...

Tuesday’s match marked Kavita’s RSL debut, as the former academy product was joined by right back Boyd Okwuonu in the duo’s first-ever RSL matches ...

SANDY, UT

INTERNATIONAL DUTY PERVADES RSL:

RSL saw M/F Jordan Allen depart on May 17 and return Monday due the U.S. U-20 participation in the FIFA Youth World Championship in New Zealand, and three weeks ago saw DF Boyd Okwuonu included in Andi Herzog’s U.S. U-23 selection at the presigious Toulon tournament, as RSL will see several players represent their countries this Summer ...

RSL’s two longest-tenured players - GK Nick Rimando & MF Kyle Beckerman - departed directly from Vancouver on May 30 to Amsterdam for the USMNT’s European trip to face Netherlands (4-3 win) and Germany (2-1 victory), Beckerman playing 108 minutes total as both are expected to be included in to Jurgen Klinsmann’s USA side for the Gold Cup ...

Costa Rican FW Alvaro Saborio departed after the June 7 match v COL to represent his country against Spain on June 11 in Madrid - he played just the final minute - returning to RSL for June 21/24 v KC and at Red Bulls prior to his Gold Cup inclusion, while two RSL defenders - Elias Vasquez (Guatemala) and Demar Phillips (Jamaica) - will also leave in late June for Gold Cup ...

Phillips’ replacement, DF Abdoulie Mansally, recently traveled to South Africa and back with The Gambia in African Nations Cup qualifying ... Vasquez and Guatemala won its World Cup Qualifying series with Bermuda on 1-0 aggregate over the 180 minutes, the 22-year old RSL centerback playing full time in both legs ...

Olympic qualifying is just around the corner, with a pair of RSL men - MF Luis Gil and DF Boyd Okwuonu figuring heavily in U.S. U-23 coach Andreas Herzog’s plans ... Gil has worn the captain’s armband in 2015 for that side, but remained with RSL instead of heading to Toulon ...

As if those nine players weren’t enough to lose time in June/July, RSL DF Justen Glad and M/F Sebastian Saucedo are prominent figures in the U.S. U-18 setup, but could have RSL / MLS / Open Cup opportunities very soon due to all the international duty ...

Another player in the RSL pipeline, Real Monarchs (USL) FW Emery Welshman, scored 2 goals and played 90’ in Guyana’s loss to St. Vincent in their aggregate World Cup qualifying loss ...

YOUNGSTER GLAD MAKES MLS DEBUT:

One of the few bright spots in RSL’s 1-2 loss @VAN back on May 30 was the debut and 90’ performance at right back for academy product Justen Glad, the 18-year old DF who became the 124th player in the club’s 11 seasons to don the Claret-and-Cobalt in an MLS match ...

Glad’s confidence grew as the game wore on, and HC Jeff Cassar will be happy to have another capable body to depend on as games in MLS, Open Cup and CCL stack up this Summer in the face of international duty, injury, suspension and form issues that wreak havoc with selection ...

REAL SALT LAKE v SPORTING KANSAS CITY SUN JUNE 21 8:00 PM MT

RIO TINTO STADIUM

SQUAD ROTATION TO THE EXTREME:

Thanks to Glad’s debut May 30 at Vancouver and this week’s Open Cup inclusion of rookie DFs Phanuel Kavita & Boyd Okwuonu, boss Jeff Cassar has played 25 members of the 2015 RSL roster - all but one, GK Lalo Fernandez - with 22 seeing at least one start in the first 16 games across all competitions so far this season ...

ATTINELLA STEPS UP IN GOAL:

With perennial MLS GK of the Year candidate Nick Rimando moving back-and-forth for USA international duty, 3rd-year backup Jeff Attinella is expected to see several MLS and Open Cup starts this summer ...

However, due to Rimando’s surprise return after the Netherlands match on June 5, Attinella was denied his 18th MLS appearance on June 7 v Colorado ...

Only 6 of Attinella’s previous 17 appearances have been at home, where the former NASL title-game MVP has posted a 3-2-1 record, with 2 shutouts (half his career total) ...

The South Florida product made his MLS debut in July 2013 in Dallas, coming on for Josh Saunders midway through a 3-0 road win for RSL that saw Saunders’ career threatened with a gruesome knee injury ...

Attinella’s 2013 trial by fire saw him endure bizarre games remembered for stoppage-time drama or PKladen matches such as RSL’s home loss against KC (Opara, 97+), the subsequent 4-3 road loss at NY (Sabo hat trick, two Espindola PKs, McCarty stunner at the death), the comeback 3-3 draw at Portland (Grossman heroics) and the “reserve” 1-0 win at Vancouver 3 days before the Open Cup final ...

All-told, Attinella brings a 4-7-5 career mark into his next match, with 4 clean sheets and having faced 8 penalty kicks (stopping 2) ...

BACK-TO-BACK-TO-BACK XI SELECTIONS:

RSL boss Cassar rolled out the same XI in 3 consecutive matches in early May for the only time in 133 games since early 2012, culminating in the loss at MTL on May 16 ...

For years, often due to injuries, multiple competitions and the demands that national team duties place on the club’s roster, RSL often sees its bench depth contribute ... A year ago, RSL saw the rarity of the same XI in backto-back games just 4 times in 2014 (39 total games) ...

In its Cup-participant season of 2013, RSL started the same XI in consecutive games only 4 times in 45 games across all competitions ... Then-boss Jason Kreis started the same XI in consecutive games to open 2013, did it again 13 games later in v. SJ & LA in early June, the team’s last such occurance (incl. playoffs) prior to games 8 and 9 this season ...

RSL rolled out the same XI just 4 times out of 46 games across all competitions in 2012 ... How rare are back-toback lineup duplicates for RSL? It happened only once in 45 games in 2011 (Aug 6/13) and just twice in 41 games in 2010 (June 25/July 2; July 31/Aug 7) ...

Kreis fielded his “first-choice” starting XI for only 59 minutes in all of 2012 - back on May 5, a 2-1 home win over New England, a victory marred by the Will Johnson red card in the 59’ ...

BECKERMAN, RIMANDO TOP TWO ACTIVES:

Despite their World Cup departures a year ago, RSL GK Nick Rimando and MF Kyle Beckerman rank first and second, respectively, amongst active MLS players in alltime regular season minutes played (Rimando: 34,633; Beckerman: 30,328), games played (NR: 383; KB: 367) and games started (NR: 383; KB: 338) ...

With the late May starts in LA/VAN, Beckerman moved past former teammate Jeff Cunningham into sole possession of 4th place all-time in games played (367) ... RSL’s captain is only 12 games away from becoming Major League Soccer’s lone all-time games played leader amongst field players, trailing Steve Ralston (378) in that category ...

Beckerman now places fifth in starts (338, three behind GK Joe Cannon and 34 behind Ralston) and minutes played at 30,328 (403 behind GK Joe Cannon, and 2,814 behind Ralston, approximately one full season away from playing more minutes than any field player in MLS history) ...

Now in their 16th MLS campaigns, the Rimando/ Beckerman duo have shared a locker room in 10 of those years (MIA 2000-01; RSL 2007-present) ...

Rimando - the lone man on RSL’s current roster to have played with Jason Kreis on the Wasatch Front, during the first four games of 2007 - recently moved into 2nd place all-time amongst MLS appearance leaders, his 383 career games ahead of Steve Ralston (378), next on Beckerman’s target list ...

With the May 23 W v NYCFC, Rimando earned his 101st win in an RSL uniform, the 167th of his 16-year MLS career ... That victory puts the “Wall of the Wasatch” just 14 victories shy of all-time MLS leader Kevin Hartman, the former LA/KC/DAL ‘keeper ...

THE PENALTY KICK DENIAL KING:

On June 7 v. Colorado, RSL GK Nick Rimando again displayed his flair for the dramatic, denying yet another opposing PK attempt ... This time, Dillon Powers was the victim, becoming the NINTH shooter denied in the last 13 attempts against the #WalloftheWasatch ...

All-time, Rimando opponents have failed on 26 of 70 attempts in his 16-year career, including 17 of 40 tries since his move to RSL in 2007 ...

Rimando has started in every one of his 382 career appearances in goal, winning MLS Cup in 2004 with United and in 2009 with RSL – came into MLS with the Miami Fusion ...

16 of his 121 career shutouts have come against Rocky Mountain Cup rival Colorado, the highest total vs. one team ... In descending order: Colorado (15), Chicago/ Chivas/San Jose (10 each), Red Bulls (9), New England (8), Columbus/DCU/LA (7 each), KC (6), Dallas/Houston/ Seattle/Portland/Toronto (5 each), Philadelphia/ Vancouver (2 each), Montreal, NYCFC and Tampa Bay (1 each) ...

WASATCH WALL REWRITES RECORD BOOKS:

Now in the midst of his 9th season with RSL, Rimando trails only the recently-retired Hartman in most league GK categories; Rimando needs just 14 wins to overtake Hartman for the all-time lead, along with 125 saves, 34 games and 2,648 minutes …

The shutout record came mid-2014, with wins possibly coming in 2015, and the games/saves/minutes marks likely in 2016 (barring injury or extended absence) … Jon Busch is the only active GK who can potentially threaten the Hartman/Rimando thresholds in each category in the next 5 years or so …

Rimando also just passed Ralston a month ago to move into sole possession of #2 all-time in MLS games started (383, Hartman all-time leader with 411) ... Rimando also 2nd all-time in minutes played with 34,633 (Hartman all-time leader with 37,260) ...

SABORIO SCORING = SALT LAKE SUCCESS:

On the strength of virtually any FW Alvaro Saborio goal, RSL is now 43-6-13 all-time / all comps when he scores, the tally on May 23 his 81st goal in 156 career games for the Claret/Cobalt ... 63 of those goals have come in MLS reg. season play, with 43 at home and 20 away ...

Group play for Mexico, Canada and the U.S. - captained by RSL MF Luis Gil - and five other nations kicks off on Oct. 1 ...

DOWN TO 3 GAMES ABOVE .500 ALL-TIME:

The May 30 1-2 loss @VAN dropped RSL’s all-time MLS regular-season mark to 3 games above .500, a month after reaching a 11-year cumulative high of 6 games over with the April 5 road win at San Jose ...

Attaining the “.500” mark last year in MLS game 293 allowed the club to call itself “even” for the first time since May 2005, with a 3-3-2 mark early in its history ...

RSL dropped to 32 games below .500 on May 24, 2008, after a 1-2 loss at Dallas, the club’s low-water mark in terms of overall record ... RSL went 8-5-8 the rest of the way to earn a playoff berth, knock out #1 seed Chivas and even host the West Final that season ...

ALL-TIME GOAL +/- DIFFERENTIAL TAKES HIT:

It took 265 all-time regular-season matches, but the 4-1 victory @CHV in May 2013 put RSL’s all-time aggregate goal differential in MLS play deep into positive territory at the conclusion of a game, the club scoring 341 goals all-time while conceding 338 ...

Back on Sept. 21, 2011 in a 3-1 win at Red Bull Arena in New York, RSL briefly got its goal +/- head above water, but a late Joel Lindpere goal dropped the side to even, three days before a 1-4 road loss at D.C. United ...

When Jason Kreis took over RSL 4 games into the club’s third season in 2007, the differential was minus-43, eventually dropping as low as minus-57 after a loss at Dallas on May 24, 2008 - more than 6.5 years ago ... It took 160 regular-season matches, but RSL finally made up the difference ... The April 5th 1-0 win over SJ allowed RSL to set a new all-time +33 high-water goal differential mark, now at +26 after 0-0 draw w/ COL ...

BECKERMAN RETURNS TO SET TONE:

One of RSL and MLS’s true “Iron Men,” Captain and MF Kyle Beckerman was rewarded in the offseason with a new contract extension and a DP-level deal ...

Despite a midsummer 0-4-2 (all competitions) record without its Captain last year, RSL has posted a 5-6-6 mark in 2013/14/15 without Beckerman, with the 15year veteran away on USA duty ... Since winning MLS Cup 2009, RSL is 15-15-13 without its Captain in MLS reg. season, CCL and Open Cup action (0-0-1 this season, June 7 v COL) ...

Beckerman stayed behind from this year’s USMNT January camp - despite the upcoming Gold Cup - in order to set the tone in RSL’s preseason, with the glut of new faces and the experimentation with the 4-3-3 formation ... Beckerman leads RSL with 1,255 minutes played out of a possible 1,350 this season, the only player to have appeared in every game this season prior to June 7 v COL ... FWs Olmes Garcia and Alvaro Saborio have each missed just one match thus far, as have DF Tony Beltran and MF Luke Mulholland ...

CASSAR STARTS STRONG IN 2014:

A year ago, RSL boss Jeff Cassar was the first head coach since the league’s 1996 inaugural season to go undefeated in his first 12 MLS matches at the helm, as RSL went 6-0-6 out of the gates in March/April and May, losing at SEA on May 30 ...

A year ago, Cassar became the first of the club’s three all-time coaches to earn a win in his debut, as both John Ellinger (April, 2005) and Jason Kreis (May, 2007) drew in their firstever games ...

RSL SEASON XI:

RSL enters the Summer of its 11th season in club history still navigating an unprecedented amount of change - for this club - despite the return of 19 players from a year ago and eight of 11 starters (gone are DF Nat Borchers / DF Chris Wingert / MF Ned Grabavoy) from a team that went 15-8-11 last year, finishing 3rd in the West behind LA and Seattle, qualifying for the 2015-16 CONCACAF Champions League and extending its playoff streak to 7 seasons, the longest active run in MLS ...

7 CONSECUTIVE POSTSEASON CAMPAIGNS:

RSL has advanced to the MLS postseason for the 7th consecutive season - the longest active run in MLS and a league-high in the “expansion era” (post-2005) ...

Los Angeles holds the overall mark of 10 straight seasons from 1996-2005, while RSL’s current mark matches Dallas (1996-2002) and trails the New England Revolution’s post-shootout era record of 8 seasons (2002-09), most of those years coming when 8 teams out of 10 or 12 advanced ...

Four current RSL players - GK Nick Rimando, DF Tony Beltran, MF Kyle Beckerman & MF Javier Morales as well as Jeff Cassar and Andy Williams - have been a part of all 7 postseason runs ...

Only the triumvirate of Western elite RSL, Seattle and Los Angeles have advanced to Playoffs each of the last five seasons ... RSL has surpassed both the 15win and 50-point plateaus for the FIFTH consecutive season, something only the 2010-14 LA Galaxy have also accomplished in the post-shootout era ... D.C. United’s 2005/06/07 team was the only previous team to have put together 3 straight 15-win / 50-point seasons ...

In 2013, RSL ended up one bounce of a ball away from each of the championships that compose the American treble - Supporters Shield (3 pts off), Open Cup (lost final at home) and MLS Cup (lost PK shootout on road) ... That year’s club set new marks for goals scored (57), road goals (26) and tied the 2012 mark for road wins (6) and road points (22) ...

In 2012, RSL set a new club record for wins in a season (with 17) and saw Jason Kreis’ team capture a franchisehigh 57 points, surpassing the 56 captured during the 2010 30-game season ... The team’s record points-pergame average of 1.87 set in 2010 was unassailable, while 2013 saw RSL establish a club mark for goals scored, 2nd only to NY ...

WINDS OF CHANGE SWEEP OUT VETS:

LOCAL TIES THAT BIND RSL ROSTER:

Also departed are former reserves GK Josh Saunders (NYCFC), Kwame Watson-Siriboe (NYCFC), Sebastian Velasquez (NYCFC), Cole Grossman (Staebek, Norway), Carlos Salcedo (Guadalajara, Mexico), FW Robbie Findley (Toronto FC) and Rich Balchan (Tampa Bay NASL) ...

While Kavita is the club’s first SLC-born academy product to earn an RSL contract, he becomes the second Utah native inside of six months to gain a true “homegrown” distinction, as Park City native Sebastian Saucedo – an 18-year old FW in the United States U-18 National Team setup – left the academy last Fall, his MLS contract going into effect on Jan. 1, 2015 ...

Suddenly gone in the most recent offseason are former perennial starters Borchers, Wingert and Grabavoy, each of whom helped establish the “Team is the Star” culture at RSL, implementing the ethos established by former head coach Jason Kreis – now with NYCFC – and general Manager Garth Lagerwey – now with Seattle ...

WORLD MARKET FINDS UTAH:

Arriving for 2015 to make Cassar’s squad younger, more athletic and potentially more diverse formationally as the club seeks new facets in its attack with 4-33 experimentation, are international reinforcements recruited by Cassar’s coaching staff: Brazilian MF Wellington “Pecka” Paeckert (who played 4 seasons at NASL Ft. Lauderdale, including two under current RSL goalkeeping coach Daryl Shore, the former Strikers boss in 2012-13), Jamaican DF Demar Phillips (Aalesunds, Norway, and a JAM National Teammate of current RSL coaches Andy Williams and Tyrone Marshall), and Guatemalan DF Elias Vasquez (Dorados, Mexico) ...

CONCACAF, FOR CLUB AND COUNTRY:

By virtue of last year’s regular season, RSL has again gained entry into CONCACAF Champions League play, where the tiny club from a flyover state in the black hole that is the Mountain time zone once famously carried the MLS flag all the way to the 2011 CCL Final, losing by a goal at home in a match that required only a draw that could have catapulted it to the FIFA Club World Cup ...

Several of the region’s standouts now call Utah home, as Jamaica back Demar Phillips and Guatemalan DF Elias Vasquez join a team that already has Costa Rica sniper Alvaro Saborio and several U.S.A. internationals, including Beckerman, Rimando, hopefuls Schuler and Gil, as well as Tony Beltran, who seeks to reprise his 2013 Gold Cup role ...

ACADEMY STARS EXPECTED TO CONTRIBUTE:

2015 is expected to be a big year for a pair of RSLArizona academy products, as Jordan Allen and Justen Glad – each signed by RSL in 2014 – suffered through injury-marred rookie campaigns in MLS ... Allen is known for his versatility, athleticism and technical skills, seeing minutes in each of RSL’s first two games a year ago before suffering an ankle then an ACL injury that sidelined him for the season following microfracture surgery ... Glad eschewed a full ride at Stanford to sign his MLS deal last May, earning acclaim for his speed of thought and quick adjustments across the back line in reserve games, before a late-season meniscus tear ...

DF Phanuel Kavita attended high school in Salt Lake City (Highland H.S.) and is a product of the club’s Arizona youth academy in Casa Grande, while DF Boyd Okwuonu was thrilled to be drafted by RSL after brother Willie completed his four-year career as a running back at Weber State University in Ogden, UT ...

Adolfo “Fito” Ovalle is the most recent local signing, as the Layton, UT-born Chilean U-20 star bypassed a Univ. of Maryland full ride to sign a homegrown deal with RSL this season ... Last week, RSL’s USL side, Real Monarchs, signed Provo-born Maikon Orellana, an El Salvadoran National Team player ... The Monarchs already have former Alta High School FW Garrett Losee in the mix ...

LEAVING POINTS ON THE PITCH?:

The March 29/April 5 win streak almost didn’t happen though, as the 88’ goal conceded to TFC man Jackson a month ago reminded RSL fans of the club’s difficulty in 2013/14 in holding a lead ... On 11 occasions a year ago, RSL conceded a lead and ended up with a late draw or loss ...

The Sounders’ Andy Rose scored a late game-winner in mid-Sept. @SEA for the first stoppage-time decider that left RSL with no points, but late equalizers conceded last season @ SJ, v VAN, @ PHI, @ CLB, v NY each resulted in disappointing draws left bitter tastes in Claret/Cobalt mouths ...

The script flipped at Chicago last year on May 3, with the late Plata/Saborio heroics reversing an 0-2 deficit to capture the full 3 points ... What will ‘15 hold in store? ...

In 34 MLS games last season, the club trailed just 413 minutes out of a possible 3,060, for an average of just 12’ per game, according to Peter Hirdt of the Elias Sports Bureau ... RSL scored first in 21 of its 34 games in 2014, posting a 13-3-5 mark when finding the back of the net first ... Only fellow West playoff sides LA (avg. of 14’ trailing per game) and DAL (avg. of 16’) were in RSL’s stratosphere ...

RSL (USUALLY) CELEBRATES IF SABO SCORES:

RSL’s all-time leading scorer, Costa Rican int’l FW Alvaro Saborio, usually leads RSL to victory when finding the back of the net ... Despite the heartbreak of MLS Cup 2013, RSL still owns a dominating 43-6-13 all-time record in all comps when Sabo scores ... Entering his 6th year, Saborio joins Kreis (2005 Open Cup) and Robbie Findley (2009 MLS) as the lone “hat trick heroes” in RSL’s 11year, 385-game history across all competitions ...

In all comps, Sabo now owns a team-record 81 goals in 155 games, w/ 25 game-winners and 16 multi-goal matches (21 and 13 in 125 MLS games) ...

Prior to 8/18/13 home loss to DAL (1-2 L), the two most recent losses when Sabo finds the back of the net were against LA, 6/20/13 of last year and also in the 2011 West Final at LA ... The only loss prior to 9/24/11 at DC was the rain-soaked 4-5 loss at Cruz Azul in Aug. 2011 ...

RSL is only 22-38-26 when Sabo plays and does not score, but 25-12-8 when he is unavailable due to suspension, injury or national team duty since his arrival in 2010 …

SABORIO MISSES OUT?:

SANDY, UT

Plata’s 2015 got off to an awfully unlucky start, breaking the fifth metatarsal of his left foot on the first day of preseason in a non-contact turf injury, an unwelcome malady after RSL bought the player outright in the most recent offseason with a DP-level contract ...

The lightning-fast Ecuadoran led RSL with a teamleading 13 goals a year ago, his opportunity seized when FW Alvaro Saborio suffered a similar injury in Costa Rica’s 2014 World Cup prep ...

All-time, Plata now has 20 goals and 19 assists in MLS play, with 16g/14a for RSL and 3g/5a for Toronto (201112) ...

The 22 year old FW also has 3g/3a for RSL in Open Cup play in 2013/15, moving him into a tie with Kyle Beckerman, Jason Kreis, Andy Williams and Devon Sandoval for the club’s all-time Open Cup scoring lead ...

RARE OCCURANCE FROM PK SPOT:

Last July 4 v NE, RSL was awarded and converted 2 penalty kicks in the same game, only the 3rd such occasion in team history (RSL has seen its opponents awarded 2x on 6 occasions) ...

Despite missing 118 days between MLS appearances last year due to a broken foot suffered in Costa Rica’s World Cup camp, RSL FW Alvaro Saborio finished 2 goals shy of registering a fifth consecutive MLS campaign with 10 or more goals, something only 3 others have accomplished in MLS annals: Chris Wondolowski (2010-14), Carlos Ruiz (2002-06) and Juan Pablo Angel (2007-11) ...

Javier Morales and Joao Plata each converted from the spot as part of RSL’s 7-for-8 conversion rate last year on PKs (Morales 4-4, Plata 1-1, Saborio 2-3) ... The lone imperfection - an early attempt for Sabo @PHI last April - was rescued by a Luke Mulholland rebound goal ...

Despite only 8 goals in 16 games last year, and his 12 goals in 2013, Saborio has managed to juggle international duty, injury and a sniper’s inherent pressure to score 61 reg. season goals for RSL - the club’s all-time high - in just 124 MLS games ...

RSL’s all-time leading scorer Alvaro Saborio has suddenly missed 2 of his last 5 spot kick attempts, with his 8’ PK attempt back in April 2013 saved by Rapids GK Clint Irwin, snapping Sabo’s 12-for-12 streak of perfection from the spot ...

RSL had re-inserted itself into the MLS Supporters Shield discussion when it defeated DAL Sept. 6 at Rio Tinto Stadium, winning 2-1 on the back of a dramatic game-winner from Saborio ... In the game’s 77th minute, Saborio jogged from the bench, to the 4th official’s table, onto the field in a Willis Reed-like return from a 118-day absence from action, going straight into the penalty box on the dead ball substitution and immediately heading home a perfect corner kick from teammate Javier Morales ... The 18-second sequence set off a riotous celebration at Rio Tinto, Saborio scoring the 77th of his 81 goals across all competitions in 155 games for RSL, with 25 game-winners ...

2015 DEBUT FOR 22-y.o. FW “PLATITA”:

RSL FW Joao Plata made his long-awaited 2015 debut back on May 23 - just a minute v NYCFC officially, and 38 minutes at LA on May 27, before starting and going 70’ on May 30 in Vancouver ...

“Platita” has gone the full 90 in each of his last two matches, June 7 v COL (0-0) and Tuesday v Sounders 2 (2-1 W), the diminutive Ecuadoran scoring the 2nd-half equalizer and then assisting on Javier Morales’ gamewinner ...

TICO SABO WITH RARE MISFIRE ON PKS ... :

The Costa Rican int’l buried one on March 29 last year against TFC ‘keeper Julio Cesar, but saw his 6’ effort April 12 at PHI saved by Zac MacMath ... The March 14, 2015 conversion from the spot improved his all-time MLS PK mark to 15-for-17 in MLS games to go along with his 4-for-4 mark in CONCACAF Champions League for RSL ...

RSL’s last PK miss prior to Sabo’s a year ago was 12 attempts earlier, as FW Robbie Findley saw his spot kick on Sept. 9, 2010, saved @SEA by GK Kasey Keller in an eventual 0-0 draw ... All-time, RSL is now 41-for-47 from the 12-yd spot ... In addition to Saborio (2013/14) and Findley (2010), other RSL players to fail to convert are Javier Morales (2008), Alecko Eskandarian (2007) and Andy Williams (2006) ...

With both Joao Plata and Javier Morales converting from the spot in 2013’s 12 5-2 win over Charleston, RSL continues its perfect 6-for-6 penalty kick conversion rate in Open Cup play ... Joining the active duo are Will Johnson (1-for-1), Jason Kreis (1-for-1) and Jeff Cunningham (2-for-2) ...

The RSL “Iron Man” - part of a 3-man outside back rotation with Chris Wingert and Robbie Russell prior to RSL’s trade of Russell to D.C. United prior to the 2012 season - has remained injury-free and playing at a high level, usually seeing days off only in exhibition or Open Cup play, or sometimes succumbing to a rotation during 3-game weeks ...

UNBEATEN CENTER-BACK PAIRING:

With the offseason salary-cap move of long-time vet DF Nat Borchers to Portland, RSL brought back another icon from the club’s glory days - Colombian DF Jamison Olave - to pair with mainstay Chris Schuler, who assumed Olave’s starting spot with the 2012 move of Olave to New York Red Bulls three seasons ago ...

Olave and Schuler had posted an unbeaten 4-0-0 mark for the team when starting together in 2010/11 in the diamond 4-4-2 setup, prior to the 2-0-2 start this season in the club’s 4-3-3 look ...

While the 6-0-2 mark is a small sample size, the Olave/ Borchers combination achieved a 40-21-27 mark from 2009-11 by comparison ...

Schuler now out until late June ...

Sandoval saw his 3-game run on the scoresheet end May 27 in LA, after the providing game-winning assists on May 9 at Chicago and May 23 v NYCFC, to go along with his MLS Goal of the Week in the 1-4 loss at Montreal on May 16 … RSL is averaging 1.3 goals per 90 minutes with the third-year man out of New Mexico on the field (12 games played, 5 starts), compared to a 0.5 average when he is on the bench …

21 players to have started a game for RSL this year in the club’s first 14 games this season, as DF Justen Glad made his first XI debut last weekend … RSL boss Jeff Cassar has given 23 players LEAGUE minutes this year, meaning everyone on the roster except GK Lalo Fernandez, DF Phanuel Kavita & DF Boyd Okwuonu have seen MLS time …

Now that third-year MF John Stertzer found the back of the net with the May 23 game-winner at home vs.

NYCFC, a total of 58 players in RSL’s 11-year, 124-player history to have scored at least one goal for the Claretand-Cobalt ...

Could Jaime make it 59 on Sunday v. SKC? ...

RIO TINTO STADIUM

WINDING ROAD FOR RSL AWAY ... :

While RSL has sputtered out of the gates this season, struggling to score while managing a tactical transition, enduring injury, suspension and international duty - it has been schizophrenic on the road in 2015 ...

Jeff Cassar’s club is currently 2-4-2 away from home, earning at least a point in 19 of its last 27 games away with iconic leaders GK Nick Rimando and MF/Capt.

Kyle Beckerman on the field ...

RSL has won one-goal games on the road @SJ on April 5 and @CHI on May 9, but has conceded 4 goals on April 25 @NE and May 16 @MTL ... Overall, RSL has allowed only 8 goals in the other 11 matches, including clean sheets @PDX / @SJ / @KC, prior to May 27 @LA, as Juninho’s 7’ PK represented Rimando’s only real test in an otherwise solid defensive performance ...

ALL-TIME RSL OPEN CUP SNAPSHOT:

After falling on the road last year at Atlanta (a lastminute 1-2 loss to the NASL Silverbacks), RSL’s all-time record in Open Cup (or Cup-related MLS play-in matches) is now 8-10-1 (PK win = draw), scoring 35 goals while also conceding 35 …

Against lower-division teams, RSL is now 5-3-0 in Open Cup action ... RSL defeated Charleston in 2013 at home, while losing 4-6 at Minnesota in 2005 (despite a Jason Kreis hat trick) before defeating the USL Virginia Beach Mariners 2-1 at home in 2006 and the Wilmington Hammerheads 2-0 in 2011, prior to the 2012 1-3 loss to the Minnesota Stars FC …

Each of the 2005, 2006 and 2013 games against USL/NASL clubs went 120 minutes after being tied in regulation …

The 2013 foray through the tourney marked the third occasion - joining 2006 and 2011 - that RSL advanced to the Quarterfinal Stage of the tournament, with the June 26 win over Carolina marking the first time in 100 years that a Utah side has progressed to the Semifinal stage ...

In prior iterations, RSL was eliminated by MLS Western Conference rivals Colorado Rapids (2006, 0-2 at RiceEccles Stadium) and FC Dallas (2011, 0-2 at Pizza Hut Park) ...

SANDOVAL RISES TO OPEN CUP CALL:

RSL’s leading scorer in the 2013 run to the #USOC100 Final was then-rookie FW Devon Sandoval, who had 3 goals in his 4 Open Cup matches ... Sandoval’s 3 goals in as many games that year ties him with Captain Kyle Beckerman for the club’s active lead, while Andy Williams and Jason Kreis also scored 3 times in Open Cup-affiliated games ...

RSL had 13 goals scored / 6 goals allowed in that 2013 run, its deepest ever ... Alvaro Saborio, Joao Plata and Khari Stephenson each scored 2 goals in 5 games en route to a crushing home loss in the centennial final to D.C. United, one of the historically worst sides in MLS history ...

SANDY, UT

ANOTHER CRUSHING HOME CUP FINAL:

On October 1, 2013, RSL’s 0-1 loss in the 100th LHUSOC Final was eerily reminiscent of 0-1 home losses in the 2008 West Final and the 2011 CONCACAF Champions League Final, the Utah club unable to overcome late first-half goals despite dominating possession, hitting posts and dictating tempo ... That year’s loss came in RSL’s 13th HOME elimination game (out of 14) in the club’s six-year history at Rio Tinto Stadium, advancing only once each in CONCACAF Champions League and Open Cup annals (prior to 2013) ... RSL had failed to win in 3 MLS Cup Playoff elimination games at home, prior to the 2013 West Semi win over LA Galaxy ... Excluding the 4 early-round games in the 2013 Open Cup run, RSL has just a 3-5-2 home record in elimination games ...

Open Cup 3rd Round from advancing

In 3 of the 5 crushing failures to advance, RSL can blame discipline (or lack thereof) for missing key players, as RSL has played each of the critical games without arguably its best player at the time: MF Javier Morales (Nov. ‘10 West Semi 2nd Leg v DAL - received 2 yellows in 1st Leg), MF Kyle Beckerman (April ‘11 CCL Final v MTY - yellow card accumulation) and FW Alvaro Saborio (Oct. 12 CCL group finale v HER - yellow card accumulation) ...

On the road or at a neutral site, RSL has actually fared much better in “elimination” games advancing on PKs twice and on aggregate the other four occasions: DATE OPP.

THE COIN *WAS* THE STAR?:

That Oct. 1, 2013 U.S. Open Cup Final was RSL’s 5th consecutive home match in the tourney, the club earning the right to host by a series of fortuitous coin flips at US Soccer HQ ...

Prior to the Semifinal win over Portland, RSL had defeated a series of visiting lower-division elite en route to the semi v PDX, defeating Atlanta (3-2 aet), Charleston (5-2 aet) and Carolina (3-0 in regulation) ...

Last year, RSL lost coin-flip decisions to create the road trip to Atlanta ...

THE RING IS THE THING:

While Real Salt Lake might not have seen much success during its first 10 runs in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, the “RSL Family” - specifically the current Technical Staff - has lifted the coveted Dewar Trophy 11 times before, with a 12th title won by an active player …

RSL President Bill Manning won the Open Cup trophy as a player with the 1991 Brooklyn Italians, despite a 29’ red card in the final match ... Current Head Coach Jeff Cassar (along with assistant Ted Eck, former manager Jason Kreis and former GM Garth Lagerwey) were members of the 1997 U.S. Open Cup-winning Dallas Burn …

Current RSL assistant coach Daryl Shore won 3 USOC titles with the Chicago Fire as their GK coach in 2000, 2003 and 2006 ... One of Shore’s players in 2003 – MF Andy Williams – is now an assistant on Cassar’s staff …

Cassar’s newest hire, assistant coach Tyrone Marshall, also owns a trio of Open Cup rings, emerging victorious in 2005 with the LA Galaxy and in both 2009 and 2010 with Seattle Sounders FC ...

Finally, RSL Technical Director Craig Waibel won an Open Cup title in 2001 with the LA Galaxy at the outset of his MLS playing career ...

Outside back Abdoulie Mansally is the lone player on the current RSL roster to have won an Open Cup, back in 2007 with the New England Revolution ... Mansally actually started his RSL trial last year the day after the NASL Minnesota loss in 2012 ...

RSL Captain Kyle Beckerman and GK Nick Rimando each played for the ring with the 2000 Miami Fusion - a team which also included players Cassar, Williams and Marshall - who lost in that year’s USOC Final to former assistant C.J. Brown and Chicago …

Current RSL Open Cup finalists:

ALL YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT THE OPEN CUP, BUT WERE AFRAID TO ASK:

Dating back to 1914, the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup is the oldest cup competition in United States soccer and is among the oldest in the world … Open to all affiliated amateur and professional teams in the United States, the annual U.S. Open Cup is a 100-year-old single-elimination tournament … The U.S. Open Cup is similar to domestic cup competitions popular throughout Europe, South America and the rest of the world … Cup competitions, which usually run concurrent with a country’s league season, are open in the early stages to any club that can qualify, giving local amateur teams a chance to compete against the best teams a country has to offer …

This year again guarantees the “David vs. Goliath” match-ups tournament fans have desired, as all 16 U.S.based MLS teams entered the 64-team tournament proper in the 3rd round and took on survivors from the USL and amateur ranks …

Since its inception in 1996, Major League Soccer teams have won 18 of the last 19 U.S. Open Cup titles, with Seattle Sounders FC falling just short 3 years ago of becoming the first-ever team to win FOUR consecutive titles, as Sporting Kansas City hosted and won in extra time over Seattle in 2012 (Seattle did win a coveted 4th title in the tourney last year over Philadephia) …

2013 OPEN CUP REWIND:

Throughout the summer two years ago, RSL won a series of coin flips at U.S. Soccer headquarters in Chicago, allowing the then-9th-year MLS club to host each of its first three matches in the tourney against lower-division competition ... The 3-0 victory back on June 26 against Carolina propelled RSL to an August 7 semifinal match against Portland ... Earlier in the tourney, RSL won, 3-2 (aet), over visiting Atlanta back on May 28 and again on June 12 with a 5-2 comeback win over Charleston ...

RSL had never previously advanced past the Quarterfinal stage of the 100-year old tourney, now owning an all-time 8-10-1 mark ... In 2012, RSL was upset at home by the NASL Minnesota Stars FC, 1-3, after purchasing the rights to host from the lower-division club ... Jason Kreis called that setback “the most embarrassing moment in club history” ... The rundown:

SANDY, UT

JUNE 26: RSL 3 : 0 CAROLINA:

DF Tony Beltran, DF Chris Wingert and FW Alvaro Saborio scored for RSL, which won its 6th straight game (a streak eventually extended to 11) - across all competitions ... RSL controlled from the very start, holding the lion’s share of possession against a Carolina team that was content to drop 10 – and occasionally 11 – players behind the ball ... RSL had the game’s first chance in the 11th minute, Captain Kyle Beckerman picking up a loose corner kick outside the 18 on the left side, taking a touch and curling a wonderfully shaped shot toward the top-right corner ... The ball looked ticketed for the back of the net, but RailHawks GK Akira Fitzgerald came up with a big stop to keep things scoreless ...

OCT 1 FINAL: RSL 0 : 1 D.C. UNITED:

Beltran scored the second goal of his professional career to put RSL up 1-0 in the 35’ ... The right back picked up a loose ball outside the box on the right side, took a touch and let fly, rifling a low shot through the Carolina defense, past Fitzgerald and inside the far post ... Beltran nearly added a second in the 44th minute, collecting a ball in the right side of the area before cutting back onto his left foot and curling a 10-yard effort toward the topleft corner that Fitzgerald saved fantastically ...

RSL generated most of the offense on the evening, outshooting D.C. 18-6 and holding possession nearly 70 percent of the time, D.C. weathering the onslaught with some timely stops and a handful of fortuitous bounces ...

Wingert got the better of Fitzgerald in the 51st minute to put RSL up 2-0, as the veteran left back collected a ball on the left side, dribbling it onto his right foot and hitting a shot that deflected off of a RailHawks player, past a wrong-footed Fitzgerald and into the net ... The strike was just the second of Wingert’s professional career and his first in Open Cup play ...

A seeing-eye cross(?)/shot from RSL preseason trialist Lewis Neal in first-half stoppage-time proved the difference for D.C., who won its third Open Cup title and, in the process, secured a spot in the 2013-14 CONCACAF Champions League ...

In the 59th minute, RSL midfielder Sebastian Velasquez got free in the United box and got off a left-footed shot that clanged off the crossbar after a slight D.C. deflection, resulting in a corner kick ...

RSL threatened again in the 71st minute, when after a lengthy back-and-forth in the box, Nat Borchers finally headed a shot that went just wide ... A similar scenario happened 10 minutes later when an Álvaro Saborío shot was saved just over the crossbar by Bill Hamid ...

United’s goalkeeper stayed under fire to the very end, saving a Devon Sandoval bicycle kick in extra time and watching a Saborío header hit the crossbar right before the final whistle ...

AUG 7 SEMIFINAL: RSL 2 : 1 PORTLAND:

In what many (rightfully) thought might have been a preview of a 2013 MLS Cup Playoff Series, RSL defeated the Portland Timbers on August 7 in the Open Cup Semi to advance to the Oct. 1, 2013 Final ...

RSL’s all-time leading scorer FW Alvaro Saborio headed home a Kyle Beckerman cross in the 7’ to give the home side an early lead ... After some Nick Rimando heroics kept Portland at bay just before half, RSL saw its lead doubled in the 78’ through substitute Joao Plata ...

Portland playmaker Diego Valeri pulled one back early in stoppage time, but RSL held on for the 2-1 semifinal win before a record-setting crowd of 14,742 - the highestattended US Open Cup semifinal game in modern pro era history (1995-present) ...

RSL came agonizingly close to making it 3-0 in the 64th.

MF Javier Morales curled in a corner from the right side and Saborio ran onto it, powering a header off of the near post from five yards out ... Saborio wasn’t so cruelly denied in the 85th, when he flicked a header home to make it 3-0 ... Grabavoy started the play, slipping substitute FW Olmes Garcia through on the right wing ... The 20-year-old Colombian took a touch and curled a gorgeous cross into Saborio, who beat a Carolina player to the ball and flicked a fantastic header inside the far post from the top-right corner of the six ...

Real Salt Lake almost made it 4-0 on several occasions in the dying minutes but couldn’t quite find the goal ...

JUNE 12: RSL 5 : 2 CHARLESTON:

Real Salt Lake advanced to the Quarterfinals of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup on June 12, scoring five unanswered goals – including three in extra time – to defeat the USL Pro Charleston Battery 5-2 at Rio Tinto Stadium ...

RSL fell behind early, giving up two goals in the first 20 minutes ... Charleston opened the scoring in the 16th minute when FW Dane Kelly ran behind the defense and collected a long ball on the left wing, dribbling into the box before curling a 15-yard right-footer past diving RSL GK Josh Saunders and inside the far post ...

Things went from bad to worse for RSL just two minutes later, with Battery MF Nicki Paterson tapping home a rebound to put Charleston up 2-0 in the 18th ... MF Quinton Griffith made the play, collecting a ball in the right side of the area and smashing a low drive off the

RIO TINTO STADIUM

left post ... The rebound bounced directly to Paterson, who slotted home easily from eight yards out with his first touch.

The Claret-and-Cobalt came out strong in the second half, nearly pulling a goal back through captain Kyle Beckerman on two different occasions in the 55th minute ... Beckerman collected a ball in the center of Charleston’s third and ripped a 30-yarder that flew past Battery GK Odisnel Cooper and bounced off the left post ...

RSL Head Coach Jason Kreis made a double substitution in the 63rd minute, bringing FW Joao Plata on for DF Aaron Maund and inserting MF Khari Stephenson for Velasquez ... The changes made an immediate impact, with Plata in particular livening things up for the Claret-and-Cobalt with dynamic on-the-ball runs down the left wing ...

Real Salt Lake pulled back a goal three minutes after the double switch, with Sandoval heading home a DF Tony Beltran cross in the 66th minute ... Beltran played a very nice ball from the right wing to the back post and Sandoval did the rest, rising over his man and nodding his header across the face of goal and inside the right post ...

RSL continued pushing after the goal, with Plata eventually earning a penalty in the 78th minute after he was chopped down in the left side of the area by a Battery defender ...

The Ecuadorian attacker buried the ensuing spot kick in the 79th, sending Cooper the wrong way before drilling the penalty into the top left corner to tie the game at 2-2 ...

Though it came close a few times in regulation, the Claretand-Cobalt would have to wait until extra time to find the winner ... Sandoval put the Utah side on top for good in the 96th minute, heading home a Plata cross to give RSL the 3-2 lead ...

Stephenson added to RSL’s lead in the 105th minute ... The powerful Jamaican collected a Morales pass in the middle of Charleston’s third, unleashing a trademark rocket into the top right corner to double the Claret-and-Cobalt’s advantage ... Morales iced the game in stoppage time of the first period of extra time, coolly converting a penalty kick that Sandoval earned to put RSL up three ...

MAY 28: RSL 3 : 2 ATLANTA:

Against the Silverbacks, RSL saw an early Kyle Beckerman goal (3’ - assist by Javier Morales), but conceded to Atlanta in the 87’ to force a pair of 15-min OT periods ... RSL scored twice in the first period, as rookie FW Devon Sandoval (98’) and another first-year RSL player, MF Khari Stephenson (101’) gave the home side some breathing room, before Atlanta scored in the 121+’ for the final margin ...

RSL looked like it would cruise early, with Beckerman putting the Claret-and-Cobalt on top just 3 min into the game ... The Claret-and-Cobalt captain got on the end of MF Javier Morales’ corner kick at the left post, flicking his header home from six yards to put the Utah side on top ...

Head Coach Jason Kreis’ side continued attacking after going up, registering decent looks in the 10th, 18th and 24th minutes before generating a golden opportunity in the 26th ... Morales had the chance, collecting FW Robbie Findley’s smart square ball at the top of the box and carrying it past an Atlanta player and into the right side of the area ... The Argentine playmaker had a 1-v-1 with

SANDY, UT

Silverbacks GK Joe Nasco but couldn’t take advantage, chipping a shot wide of the far post from eight yards ...

The game settled down after Morales’s chance, with both sides struggling to create opportunities in the extremely rainy conditions ... The next good chance didn’t come until after halftime, with RSL FW Devon Sandoval heading a Findley cross on goal but off of a diving Nasco in the 51’ ...

RSL generated decent looks in the 75th, 77th and 81st minutes, but couldn’t quite find an insurance goal; that came back to haunt the Claret-and-Cobalt in the 87th minute, when FW Kellen Gulley – on-loan to Atlanta from the Chicago Fire – equalized for the Silverbacks ...

Gulley collected a square ball on the break from fellow substitute FW Ruben Luna just outside the RSL box, turning on goal and curling a shot that RSL GK Josh Saunders got a finger to but couldn’t keep out ...

Real Salt Lake dominated the first period of extra time, scoring twice in three minutes to build a 3-1 lead on the Silverbacks ... Sandoval put RSL up 2-1 in the 98th, putting the exclamation on a beautiful move that saw Morales slip FW Joao Plata in on the left side for a low cross that Sandoval slid home from five yards ...

Substitute MF Khari Stephenson added a third for RSL in the 101st minute, absolutely slamming a half-volley into the top right corner from 20 yards for his first goal in a Claret-and-Cobalt uniform ...

Substitute Atlanta MF Pablo Cruz pulled one back for the Silverbacks in the 121st minute, curling a ball into the top left corner from eight yards out in the right side of the box ...

IN SEARCH OF A TROPHY:

In its history, Real Salt Lake has now registered a 8-10-1 all-time Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup record (35 GF / 35 GA) in the competition’s games/qualifiers across 200513 …

That record includes five MLS “play-in” games: the June, 2010 1-2 (aet) loss at D.C. United; that April’s 3-3 draw (5-3 PKs to advance) at San Jose; the 1-4 road loss at expansion Seattle to the eventual Open Cup champions in 2009; and 2008’s 4-0 home win over then-expansion Earthquakes and the subsequent 0-2 loss @ Columbus …

REAL SALT LAKE v SPORTING KANSAS CITY SUN JUNE 21 8:00 PM MT

RIO TINTO STADIUM

The pre-2013 year-by-year rundown of RSL’s previous runs:

2012: RSL knew a week out that it would face the winner of minor-league foes Des Moines Menace (PDL) and Minnesota Stars FC (NASL), but was pulling for a Des Moines victory in order to host the match ... However, Minnesota won in PKs and was set to host before selling the rights to the match back to RSL ...

A crowd of 17,221 came to Rio Tinto Stadium that night, a record for a non-Final U.S. Open Cup attendance, but went home disappointed as RSL dropped a 1-3 decision despite 90-minute performances from six prominent RSL players Nat Borchers, Jamison Olave, Chris Wingert, Jonny Steele, Luis Gil and Ned Grabavoy - as well as Kyle Reynish, Paulo Junior, Yordany Alvarez and Emiliano Bonfigli ... Terakazu Tanaka played 45 before making way to Tony Beltran, while Sebastian Velasquez came in at 53’ to provide offensive spark ...

Ultimately, RSL was doomed by conceding a 3’ goal to Kevin Venegas on a poor clearance from Reynish ... Luis Gil equalized in the 29’ on an assist by Grabavoy, and RSL had two chances in the 38’ to go up - first a Paulo Jr. breakaway was snuffed by MN GK Van Oekel, then Grabavoy’s onetimer on the rebound was tipped over the bar ...

In the 44’, Olave was adjudged to have handled a cross into the box, and the resultant PK conversion gave the Stars a 2-1 halftime lead ... Despite outshooting the Stars 21-14 on the night and owning a 9-1 advantage in corner kicks, RSL saw the minor-league club ice the game in the 58’ when Simone Bracalello hit a long-range blast from outside the area for the 3-1 final margin ...

2011: Jason Kreis’ team opened the 98th LHUSOC

tourney at home against the Wilmington Hammerheads, winning 2-0 on late first-half goals by Tony Beltran and Jean Alexandre ... The Beltran goal was the fourth-year defender’s first in an RSL uniform in any competition since being drafted 3rd overall by the Claret-and-Cobalt in the 2008 MLS SuperDraft, the former UCLA Bruin still looking to snap a 91-match scoreless streak to kick off his career in MLS action ... An impressive crowd of 7,620 came out on short notice, the tournament’s largest attendance prior to the Seattle Semifinal at Century Link ... The club’s reward?

- a Quarterfinal trip to Pizza Hut Park in Dallas, where it had never won ...

After RSL controlled the balance of play in the MLS encounter just three days prior at Rio Tinto Stadium, it was FC Dallas taking similar control at home in the Open Cup Quarter, outshooting RSL 7-1 in the first half en route to a 1-0 lead at the break ... The Dallas advantage would come via a dead ball opportunity by Jair Benitez, who curled a 30-yard free kick straight out from goal into the upper right corner and past diving RSL GK Kyle Reynish in the 18th minute ...

RSL would come out of the locker room with renewed energy, and came close to leveling the match in the 54th minute when FW Fabian Espíndola’s left-footed bender for the far left post missed a foot wide ... Off the ensuing goal kick it was Jackson running onto FW Eric Alexander’s flickon header and past the last RSL defender before sending a perfectly-weighted chip over Reynish and under the

SANDY, UT

crossbar to double the Hoops’ lead at 2-0 ... From there the home side would effectively put a chokehold on the contest, with RSL MF Collen Warner’s audacious volley from the edge of the area that struck off the crossbar in the 74th minute counting as the visitors’ best chance to mount a comeback ...

2010: Despite entering the year as the defending MLS Cup Champions, RSL was forced on the road to pursue Open Cup hardware due to its 11-12-7 regularseason MLS mark in 2009 … On April 14 at San Jose, RSL stormed out to a 2-0 lead at Buck Shaw Stadium with goals by FW Robbie Findley and MF Nelson Gonzalez, but it was former Earthquake and current RSL player Arturo Alvarez that led the SJ comeback, scoring in the 88’ to force overtime and assisting on a goal in 103’ to give the ‘Quakes the lead … RSL battled back in OT, DF Nat Borchers heading home a Robbie Russell cross in the 118’ to force PKs, where RSL won 5-3, GK Kyle Reynish saving the Alvarez effort in the 1st frame to make the difference …

In June, RSL played at RFK Stadium against D.C. United to determine the final MLS spot in the Open Cup proper, just days before visiting the White House to celebrate its MLS Cup win in 2009 … With FW Robbie Findley away at the World Cup, captain Kyle Beckerman and perennial starters Andy Williams and Chris Wingert unavailable, RSL started a 4-5-1 with new faces and players in new positions … After a scoreless first 60 minutes, both sides wilting in extreme heat and humidity, RSL inserted MF Javier Morales, FW Fabian Espindola and FW Alvaro Saborio in the 63’ to inject life into the RSL attack, switching back to the 4-4-2 diamond … D.C. scored first, however, on a 75’ PK, as rookie MF Collen Warner was adjudged to have handled a Chris Pontius shot following a stellar Reynish save … RSL MF Will Johnson answered back with a PK of his own just 8 minutes later, and the sides went to extra time … Teenage RSL MF Luis Gil made his debut for the squad entering to start the OT, but it was another teen phenom – United’s Andy Najar – that came on for the final 15 minutes and provided the goal that sent D.C. on to the tourney proper …

RIO TINTO STADIUM

IN SEARCH OF A TROPHY (cont’d): 2009: RSL kicked off its qualifying road for the 2009 LHUSOC at Starfire Complex in Tukwila, WA, the Sounders’ training field … Expansion Seattle won a coin toss to host RSL, the Western Conference finalist from the year prior … The Sounders scored goals three minutes apart – in each half – to tally a 4-1 win over RSL, Sebastian LeToux tallying two goals and two assists … MF Will Johnson scored an unassisted goal in the 32nd minute to cut the Sounders lead in half after goals by LeToux (24’) and Sanna Nyassi (26’), but Roger Levesque (53’) and LeToux (55’) followed up in the 2nd half …

2008: RSL kicked off its qualifying prospects for the

2008 U.S. Open Cup with a dominating, 4-0 late-April win at Rice-Eccles, as RSL MF Kyle Beckerman got the ball rolling with goals in the 21st and 33rd minutes … RSL would then punish the ‘Quakes off the kick-off seconds later, as FW Yura Movsisyan converted the turnover into RSL’s second goal inside the minute to put the game out of reach … RSL MF Andy Williams made sure he maintained his Open Cup scoring mastery, slotting home in the 90th minute to close out the scoring … GK Chris Seitz saw his initial first-team action of 2008 and recorded his first career clean sheet with his four-save effort … A month later in Columbus, Crew goals by Steven Lenhart (26’) and Robbie Rogers (53’) sandwiched around a 49th-minute Dema Kovalenko red card ended RSL’s 2008 Open Cup chances …

2007: RSL kicked off its run to the 2007 U.S. Open Cup on by taking a 2-1 overtime victory over the Kansas City Wizards in a “play-in” contest … A Jeff Cunningham penalty kick a dozen minutes in appeared as if it would stand tall, but a goal by KC’s Sasha Victorine in the 88th minute would send the match to added extra time … In the game’s 109th minute, Andy Williams again was the hero, finishing a nifty give-and-go from 15 yards out to lift RSL … In the next round, however, for the second consecutive season, RSL’s Open Cup run ended at the hands of the hated Colorado Rapids, as two Jacob Peterson goals, including one 3 minutes into stoppage time, led the Rapids to a 2-1 win over RSL … Chris Klein scored the 64th-minute equalizer in Jason Kreis’ Open Cup coaching debut, but it wasn’t enough to send the game into OT …

2006: Real Salt Lake saw added time once again in its 2006 USOC opener against another USL-1 side, Virginia Beach Mariners, but this time it was RSL getting the goal in overtime, as Andy Williams’ 93rd-minute strike lifted the MLS side to a 2-1 win in the Third Round, marking its first-ever USOC victory … RSL’s run would be a short one, as the Utah side had the better of the play at home against Rocky Mountain Cup rival Colorado, but the Rapids’ Peterson got the only goal in a 1-0 win in a 4th Round affair …

2005: RSL saw its inaugural run in the 2005 Open Cup

end abruptly, as tournament upstart Minnesota Thunder overcame a Jason Kreis hat trick – the only 3-goal performance in RSL history in all competitions, prior to Robbie Findley’s effort in April ‘09 – to post a wild 6-4 upset in a Third Round match the USL First Division side took to a 30-minute added time session thanks to an 88th minute equalizer …

Sporting KC Game Notes | June 21, 2015 at Real Salt Lake | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #RSLvSKC: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#SKCvSEA: BY THE NUMBERS

The second meeting this season between Sporting KC (6-2-6, 24 pts.) and Real Salt Lake (4-5-6, 18 pts.) will kick off Sunday at Rio Tinto Stadium. The clubs have played to scoreless draws in each of their last two regular season matchups, both at Sporting Park.

The last time Sporting KC visited Rio Tinto Stadium in July 2013, Ike Opara headed home a 97th-minute goal, the latest in team history, to give the visitors a 2-1 win and snap Real Salt Lake’s 11-game unbeaten run in all competitions.

The sides would eventually meet again in the 2013 MLS Cup with Sporting KC prevailing in a 10-round penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw through regulation.

Just once in the last eight #RSLvSKC fixtures has a team scored more than one goal in a match. Sporting KC has outscored Real Salt Lake 7-4 during that stretch with a 3-1-4 record.

Sunday marks the fifth all-time trip to Rio Tinto Stadium for Sporting KC, who have come away with two wins and two losses in previous visits. Peter Vermes’ men condemned Real Salt Lake to their first ever defeat at the venue with a 2-0 win on May 16, 2009.

Sporting KC Game Notes | June 21, 2015 at Real Salt Lake | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES SPORTING KC HITS THE ROAD TO FACE REAL SALT LAKE ON SUNDAY Unbeaten in eight games across all competitions, Sporting KC (6-2-6, 3rd place) resumes their regular season campaign Sunday against Real Salt Lake (4-5-6, 9th place) at 9 p.m. CT at Rio Tinto Stadium. The Soccer Sunday match-up will be nationally televised on FOX Sports 1 and features two teams that have reached the postseason in each of the last four years, highlighted by a meeting in the 2013 MLS Cup final.

Sporting KC hasn’t lost a match since April 18 and is currently riding a 386-minute shutout streak in all competitions dating back to May 20. Peter Vermes’ side has only two losses in 15 games this season with 23 goals scored and 15 goals conceded.

The club is set to welcome back striker Krisztian Nemeth, who missed 1-0 wins over Seattle Sounders FC (June 6) and Saint Louis FC (Tuesday) while on international duty with the Hungary Men’s National Team. Nemeth leads the team with six goals this season and is the reigning MLS Player of the Month.

Real Salt Lake has won just two of their last 11 MLS matches but hold one of the strongest home-field advantages in the league. Jeff Cassar’s side has lost just twice in 25 MLS contests at Rio Tinto Stadium since the start of 2014.

NEMETH HELPS HUNGARY TO EURO QUALIFYING WIN Sporting KC forward Krisztian Nemeth and the Hungary Men’s National Team defeated Finland 1-0 last Saturday, June 13, in a 2016 UEFA Euro qualifier. With the win, Hungary solidified their third-place position in Group F and moved within a point of second-place Northern Ireland.

Nemeth began on the bench and entered the match at halftime. The striker provided an immediate spark for the visitors, nearly putting Hungary ahead only moments after the break. In the 52nd minute, the reigning MLS Player of the Month received a pass behind the Finland defense and chipped goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky, but D.C. United defender Markus Halsti raced back to clear the ball off the line.

Last Saturday’s appearance was Nemeth’s 17th for Hungary and his first in Euro qualifying. He now returns to Sporting KC’s squad for Sunday’s road match against Real Salt Lake. Nemeth is one of two players in MLS history to score a goal on each of his first six shots on target (Claudio Suarez 2006-07, Chivas USA). None of his six shots on goal have been saved in 2015.

MELIA STEPPING UP Longtime backup goalkeeper Tim Melia has started the last seven matches for Sporting KC in all competitions, compiling a 5-0-2 record with five clean sheets. His strong start with the club includes four MLS shutouts and a league-best 0.50 goals against average.

In Sporting KC’s 1-0 win over first-place Seattle on June 6, Melia notched a career-high six saves and became the first keeper in club history to go unbeaten in his first six MLS appearances. His performance earned him unanimous Team of the Week honors from several publications and helped him jump to fourth place in MLS All-Star voting at his position.

The sixth-year veteran was signed in the offseason after previously representing Real Salt Lake (2010-2011) and Chivas USA (2012-2014), where he backed up MLS All-Stars Nick Rimando (RSL) and Dan Kennedy (Chivas USA).

SKC ADVANCES IN OPEN CUP AFTER 1-0 WIN OVER SAINT LOUIS FC Sporting KC advanced to the Round of 16 in the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup with a 1-0 victory over Saint Louis FC on Tuesday at Sporting Park. Graham Zusi scored the game’s only goal, heading home a cross from Benny Feilhaber in the 70th minute, while Tim Melia earned his fourth straight shutout.

In front of 19,298 fans, the largest fourth round crowd in the tournament’s modern era and a new club record for the competition, Sporting KC eliminated their cross-state rivals in the team’s first competitive match against an opponent from St. Louis. With the win, Sporting KC extends its unbeaten streak to eight games and remains unbeaten (6-0-1) all-time in the U.S. Open Cup Round of 32. The match also featured the return of defender Chance Myers, who made his first Sporting KC appearance since May 23, 2014, after recovering from an Achilles injury.

SPORTING KC TO HOST FC DALLAS IN OPEN CUP ROUND OF 16 Sporting KC will face FC Dallas at 7:30 p.m. CT on July 1 at Sporting Park in the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Round of 16, U.S. Soccer announced on Thursday.

SKC advanced to the Round of 16 with a 1-0 victory over Saint Louis FC (USL) on Tuesday in front of a standing-room only crowd at Sporting Park. The club, which has twice lifted the Dewar Challenge Trophy as champions of the competition in 2004 and 2012, will continue the U.S. Open Cup campaign in two weeks time versus a Western Conference rival.

FC Dallas advanced with a 4-1 win over Sporting KC’s USL affiliate OKC Energy FC on Tuesday. Sporting KC has played FC Dallas on only one occasion in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, a 4-0 victory in the 2004 quarterfinals en route to the team’s first U.S. Open Cup championship.

The winner between Sporting KC and FC Dallas will earn a berth in the tournament quarterfinals and will meet the victor from the Houston DynamoColorado Rapids match-up. If Sporting KC advances, the quarterfinal round would be played at Sporting Park on July 21/22.

FEILHABER ON PACE FOR CAREER SEASON Just 14 games into the MLS season, Benny Feilhaber has set career-highs with five goals and seven assists. The 30-year-old World Cup veteran won Etihad Airways MLS Player of the Month for April and looks likely to receive MLS All-Star honors for the first time in 2015. As of Wednesday, Feilhaber ranked third in All-Star Game voting at the midfield position.

Now in his fifth MLS season, Feilhaber is the only player to start all 14 league matches for Sporting KC in 2015. He set career-highs in 2014 with 32 MLS appearances and 31 starts.

FOUR SPORTING KC PLAYERS ON PROVISIONAL GOLD CUP ROSTERS CONCACAF has announced the 35-player provisional rosters for each of the 12 countries competing in the 2015 Gold Cup from July 7-26 across the U.S. and Canada. Sporting KC Designated Players Matt Besler and Graham Zusi were named to the U.S. Men’s National Team’s preliminary squad, Marcel de Jong (Canada) and Soni Mustivar (Haiti) will also be available for selection by their respective national teams for this summer’s regional championship tournament. Each national team will submit their final 23-player roster to CONCACAF by June 23.

Besler—an Overland Park, Kansas native—has earned 25 caps and was a member of the U.S. MNT for the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup championship, starting each of the three knockout round matches. Zusi has 28 caps for the U.S. with three goals and six assists since his debut in 2012, including two assists at the 2014 FIFA World Cup. De Jong is poised to make his fourth straight appearance at the CONCACAF Gold Cup for the Canada Men’s National Team after representing his country at the 2009, 2011 and 2013 editions. Mustivar was a member of the Haiti Men’s National Team that secured a berth in the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup by finishing third at the CFU Caribbean Cup last year and has six international appearances since debuting in 2013.

CHANCE MYERS RETURNS AFTER YEAR OUT WITH INJURY Right back Chance Myers made his much anticipated return to the Sporting KC lineup in Tuesday’s Open Cup victory over Saint Louis FC. Myers had been sidelined for more than a year after rupturing his left Achilles tendon on May 23, 2014, but started and played 56 minutes Tuesday before exiting to a standing ovation at Sporting Park.

Myers, an eighth-year MLS veteran and Sporting KC’s longest-tenured player, had missed the club’s previous 44 games in all competitions before returning. He has four goals and 15 assists in 146 appearances for the club in all competitions since being drafted No. 1 overall in the 2008 MLS SuperDraft. He led all MLS players between 2011 and 2013 with 91 successful crosses from open play and was the highest-rated outside back in the 2013 MLS Castrol Index.

GOALS FLYING IN Sporting KC ranks second in MLS with 1.57 goals per game thanks to a trio of four-goal performances during their seven-game unbeaten run. Prior to this year, the team had scored four goals on three instances in a six-game span only once (back in 1996) in 20 seasons. By comparison, SKC struck four goals three times in all of 2014 and three times from 2011-2013 combined. The club also leads the league with 26 assists on the season, including seven from Benny Feilhaber and four each from Jalil Anibaba and Graham Zusi.

With first-year forward Krisztian Nemeth and midfield talisman Feilhaber leading the way, the club’s recent scoring output has reached heights rarely seen in club history. Victories over New England (May 20) and FC Dallas (May 29) saw SKC bag four goals twice in one month for the first time since August of the inaugural 1996 season. The Dallas win also marked the third time in team history that Kansas City has scored four goals in consecutive MLS home games.

ROAD WARRIORS Sporting KC has won 30 away matches in MLS since the beginning of 2011, tied for most in MLS, 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). SKC is the only MLS team with a winning road record since the beginning of 2011 (including postseason), compiling a 30-29-20 mark away from home.

Sporting KC Game Notes | June 21, 2015 at Real Salt Lake | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES (CONTINUED) TOUGH TO BEAT Sporting KC has been hard to beat during the first three months of the 2015 campaign. Their seven-game unbeaten run is the longest in MLS this season, and their league-low two losses are the second-fewest through 14 games in team history. The 2000 Kansas City Wizards, led by centerback Peter Vermes, started 10-13 en route to winning the franchise’s first MLS Cup.

United and an emphatic 4-0 triumph over 2014 playoff team FC Dallas.

VERMES CLIMBING THE RANKS Sporting KC manager Peter Vermes ranks 10th all-time with 82 regular season wins, one shy of tying Thomas Rongen for ninth and four shy of tying Bob Gansler for eighth. Gansler is Kansas City’s winningest coach in club history, having compiled an 86-85-51 regular season record from 1999-2006 and winning 108 games in all competitions.

Vermes earned his 100th career coaching win in all competitions on May 29 as Sporting KC beat FC Dallas 4-0. He has a 102-70-56 record since taking over in August 2009 and is the only person to win MLS Cup as both a player (2000) and coach (2013) with the same team.

After recording and goal and two assists on May 29, Zusi became the third ever player (Klein, Preki) to reach 25 goals and 50 assists for the team in all competitions.

PALMER-BROWN RETURNS FROM FIFA U-20 WORLD CUP Sporting KC defender Erik Palmer-Brown and the United States U-20 Men’s National Team were eliminated from the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup after suffering a penalty kick shootout defeat to Serbia last Sunday, June 14. The sides played to a 0-0 draw through 120 minutes before Serbia prevailed 6-5 in the shootout.

Palmer-Brown made his U-20 World Cup debut on June 5 with a spot in the starting lineup for the United States’ 3-0 loss against Ukraine. The 18-year-old Lee’s Summit, Missouri native played the full 90 minutes at North Harbour Stadium in Auckland, New Zealand in the team’s group stage finale.

Palmer-Brown has appeared in eight matches for Sporting KC across all competitions, including a 90-minute outing in a 1-1 draw at D.C. United on May 9, since signing as a homegrown player in August 2013. He made his MLS debut in 2014 at age 17 and remains the youngest player to appear in an MLS match in club history. He played in the 2014 Dallas Cup with the U-20’s and has since participated in three of the team’s international training camps in Argentina (September 2014), England (March 2015) and Austria (April 2015).

Rookie defender Saad Abdul-Salaam was selected by Sporting KC with the 12th overall pick in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft. He made his Sporting KC debut with a substitute appearance in a 4-2 win over New England on May 20 after starting five games on loan for the reigning North American Soccer League champion San Antonio Scorpions. He has made four substitute appearances in MLS this season.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 captain Matt Besler is in his seventh season at his hometown club. He has earned MLS Best XI (2012, 2013), MLS All-Star (2011, 2013, 2014), MLS Defender of the Year (2012) and MLS Breakout Player of the Year (2012) honors and was named the 2014 KC Sportsman of the Year by the Kansas City Sports Commission.

In July 2014, Besler signed a long-term Designated Player contract with the club. His 195 appearances for Sporting KC in all competitions lead the current roster and rank eighth most all-time. A regular staple of the team’s backline, he has started 158 of his 163 MLS regular season appearances and landed Sporting KC Defender of the Year honors three times (2011-2013).

Besler has earned 25 caps for the United States Men’s National Team since debuting in January 2013. He was on the U.S. roster for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil alongside teammate Graham Zusi, becoming the first Kansan to play in the World Cup. He started all four matches in the tournament as the U.S. finished Group G runners-up behind eventual champion Germany and advanced to the Round of 16. He helped lead the U.S. to the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup title, starting all three matches in the knockout stage.

A fifth-year veteran of MLS, Servando Carrasco enters his first season with Sporting KC. He made his debut for the club as a second-half substitute on March 21 before making his first start on March 28, a 1-0 win at New York City FC. Previously, the 26-year-old defensive midfielder appeared in 60 MLS matches over four years (including postseason) for Seattle Sounders FC (2011-2013) and the Houston Dynamo (2013-2014).

Carrasco was a four-year starter at California, where he recorded 13 goals and 13 assists in 73 appearances before being selected in the second round of the 2011 MLS SuperDraft.

Now in his fourth season at Sporting KC, Dom Dwyer is coming off a breakout 2014 campaign in which he garnered Sporting KC Offensive Player of the Year and co-MVP honors. The Englishman set a single season club record with 22 goals, second most in MLS, and his 32 career goals in all competitions are tied for sixth in team history.

Dwyer, who was named an MLS All-Star in 2014 for the first time in his career, has scored 54 goals in all competitions since the beginning of 2013—32 for Sporting KC and 22 for former USL PRO affiliate Orlando City SC. His 0.45 goals per game in MLS rank first in team history. He signed a contract extension with the club ahead of the 2015 campaign and is third on the team this season with four goals.

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

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

Sporting KC’s second Homegrown Player in club history, defender Kevin Ellis is coming off a 2014 campaign in which he made a career-high 21 appearances and 17 starts in MLS (including his playoff debut). He finished 2014 with three assists in league play, tied for third most in the team, while splitting time between the right back and centerback positions. He recorded his first MLS goal in a 4-0 win over FC Dallas on May 29 at Sporting Park.

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

Sporting KC signed goalkeeper Tim Melia in December 2014. He enters his sixth MLS season in 2015 after previously representing Real Salt Lake (2010-2011) and Chivas USA (2012-2014), where he backed up MLS All-Stars Nick Rimando (RSL) and Dan Kennedy (Chivas USA). He made his Sporting KC debut on May 3, shutting out Chicago in a 1-0 result for the first clean sheet and first win of his MLS career. He has posted shutouts in four of his six total starts this year with an unbeaten 4-0-2 MLS record. After recording a career-high six saves in a 1-0 win over Seattle on June 6, he became the first goalkeeper in Kansas City history to go unbeaten in his first six MLS appearances for the club.

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

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

Sporting KC signed defensive midfielder Soni Mustivar ahead of the 2015 season. The 25-year-old made his MLS debut as a second-half substitute on March 21 against Portland before earning his first start on May 3 vs. Chicago.

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

Mustivar has earned six caps for the Haiti Men’s National Team. He most recently played in three matches at the 2014 CFU Caribbean Cup in November to help Haiti secure a third place finish and qualify for the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup. Prior to making his international debut with Haiti in 2013, he was a youth international for France at the U-20 level.

Eighth-year veteran Chance Myers enters 2015 as Sporting KC’s longest tenured player. The No. 1 overall selection in the 2008 MLS SuperDraft has made 146 appearances for the club in all competitions, recording four goals and 15 assists from the wing back position. He made his 2015 debut on June 16 in the U.S. Open Cup fourth round, recording his first appearance since May 2014 after recovering from an Achilles injury.

Myers eclipsed 30 MLS appearances in both 2011 and 2012 as a regular starter, and after making a career-high 31 MLS starts in 2013 (including playoffs), was the top-rated outside back on the MLS Castrol Index. Despite missing most of the last 13 months, he still ranks fourth in MLS with 96 successful crosses from open play (including postseason) since the beginning of 2011.

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

Sporting KC’s most experienced MLS player with 243 league appearances (including playoffs), Paulo Nagamura is in his fourth season with the club. Since arriving ahead of the 2012 campaign, he has recorded five goals and six assists in 86 games (76 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. He made his league debut with a start on March 8 at Sporting Park before scoring his first MLS goal in the 94th minute of a 3-2 win over Philadelphia on April 5. He leads the team with six goals in 2015 and was named MLS Player of the Month for May after recording three goals and two assists during the month.

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

Internationally, Nemeth 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. He earned his first of 17 caps for Hungary’s senior team in 2010 and most recently featured in a 2016 UEFA EURO qualifier on June 13.

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

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

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

One of the youngest players under contract in MLS, Erik Palmer-Brown became a homegrown player in August 2013 at age 16. 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. The 18-year-old earned his first start of 2015 on May 9 at D.C. Palmer-Brown made his league debut with a start in May 2014, becoming the youngest player in MLS history to start a match as a defender, for the first of six appearances in all competitions (including debuts in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and CONCACAF Champions League). He 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 and has represented United States youth national teams at the U-15, U-17, U-18 and U-20 levels.

This year, he competed with the U-20s at training camps in England (March 23-30) and Austria (April 18-26) before joining the U.S. Under-20 Men’s National Team for the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup. He started one match in the tournament as the U.S. advanced to the quarterfinals before losing a penalty kick shootout to Serbia.

A nine-year MLS veteran, Peterson has 15 goals and 15 assists in 209 regular season appearances over the course of his professional career. Now in his fourth season with Sporting KC, he has contributed eight goals and seven assists in 91 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 209 regular season appearances are second most on the team, behind only Paulo Nagamura (228).

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 145 of his 147 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 third in MLS with 48 clean sheet contributions (including playoffs) and ranks fifth with 66 MLS games won. He received his first call-up to the United States Men’s National Team ahead of the 2014 USMNT January camp.

A seventh-year veteran for Sporting KC, Graham Zusi has garnered MLS All-Star (2012, 2013, 2014), MLS Best XI (2012, 2013) and MLS Breakout Player of the Year (2011) honors in addition to receiving a 2012 MLS MVP nomination. The winger is the only MLS player with at least five goals and at least seven assists in each of the last four regular seasons.

He has earned Sporting KC MVP honors each of the last three years (twice a co-MVP) and has led the club in assists every year since 2011.

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

Sporting KC is 18-0-2 all-time when he scores an MLS goal, and he leads MLS with 379 chances created and 366 successful crosses/corners since 2011 (including playoffs). His 53 career assists in all competitions are third most in club history, and his 23 MLS goals rank 10th all-time for the club.

Zusi has earned 28 caps for the United States Men’s National Team since debuting in January 2012, recording three goals and six assists. He was on the U.S. roster for the 2014 FIFA World Cup alongside teammate Matt Besler, playing in all four matches at the tournament. In the group stage, he provided the game-winning assist in a 2-1 win over Ghana before adding another assist in a 2-2 draw with Portugal.

Sporting KC Coach Bios | June 21, 2015 at Real Salt Lake | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes Manager | Peter Vermes

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

Peter Vermes enters his seventh season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2015. He is the team’s second-longest serving head coach, and his .557 regular season winning percentage (82-60-50) 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. His 82 regular season wins are 10th most in MLS history. He recorded his 100th coaching win for Sporting KC in all competitions with a 4-0 result over FC Dallas on May 29, 2015, at Sporting Park.

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 was the first time the U.S. had qualified for the World Cup in 40 years and set the stage for the progress of the U.S. National Team. In 1989 and 1990, Vermes became the first American to play in the Hungarian and Dutch First Divisions, playing for Raba ETO and FC Volendam, respectively. He later spent five years with Figueras of the Spanish Second Division.

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

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

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

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

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

Fitness Coach | Mateus Manoel

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

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

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

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

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

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