Sporting KC Game Notes | July 30, 2022 vs. Austin FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #SKCvATX: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#SKCvATX: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City (5-13-5, 20 pts.) is back at Children’s Mercy Park this weekend when the team takes on second-place Austin FC (12-5-5, 41 pts.) on Saturday night, fresh off the club’s painful elimination from the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Semifinals on penalties against Sacramento Republic on Wednesday night.

Sporting can now dedicate all their focus to the 11 MLS regular-season matches remaining in 2022, with seven of them coming at home.

Sporting and Austin split the regular-season series 1-1-1 during Austin’s expansion season in 2021. On May 9, 2021, Sporting fought back from a halftime deficit to record a 2-1 victory as late goals from Ilie Sanchez and Gadi Kinda buoyed Sporting to all three points.

Austin returned to Kansas City just over a month later and again raced into a firsthalf lead through Cecilio Dominguez. Sporting scrapped back to earn a 1-1 draw after Daniel Salloi found the equalizer midway through the second half.

The third and final meeting saw Sporting make their first-ever visit to Q2 Stadium on the penultimate day of the season. Austin raced into a three-goal lead on the night before Johnny Russell pulled a goal back to make the final score 3-1.

Austin finished second to last in their expansion season in 2021, but have gone from strength to strength in 2022 and currently sit four points behind Supporters’ Shield leaders Los Angeles FC for first-place in the West.

Sporting KC Team Notes • Sporting are in the midst of a club-record four-game home losing streak in MLS play since May 28.

• Sporting rank last in MLS in points per match (0.87) and goals per match (0.83).

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

FEILHABER & ZAVAGNIN ON HALL OF FAME BALLOT

Just three days following Sporting Kansas City’s heartbreaking elimination from the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Semifinals on Wednesday night, the team is back in MLS regular-season action this Saturday night when the team hosts high-flying Austin FC at Children’s Mercy Park.

The National Soccer Hall of Fame on Thursday released the names of all candidates eligible for election in 2023, including 17 former Sporting Kansas City players.

Six past players - including Sporting KC II head coach Benny Feilhaber in his first year of eligibility - appear among the 44 individuals on the Player Eligibility List, while 11 other past players - including Sporting KC assistant coach Kerry Zavagnin - are among the 89 candidates on the Veteran Eligibility List.

Sporting is looking to right the club’s league form, with the team going 1-4-1 over their last six MLS matches, while last Saturday’s loss to Los Angeles FC at Children’s Mercy Park was the team’s fourth consecutive home defeat - the first time in the club’s 27-year history that has happened.

PAST SKC PLAYERS ON PLAYER LIST: Jamar Beasley (2010), Brad Davis (2016), Brad Evans (2018), Benny Feilhaber (2013-17, 2019), Kevin Hartman* (2007-09), Eddie Johnson (2006-07)

Sporting is currently 10 points adrift in the hunt for the seventh and final qualification spot for the MLS Cup Playoffs in the West with 33 points still up for grabs. If the team can get its home form back on track, there will be an opportunity as the club plays seven of their final 11 regular-season matches at Children’s Mercy Park, leaving 21 points on the table at home.

*Final year of eligibility; if not elected will move to Veteran ballot for 2024 election PAST SKC PLAYERS ON VETERAN LIST: Sean Bowers (1996-99), Jose Burciaga Jr. (2001-07), Mike Burns (2001-02), Mark Chung (1996-98), Jimmy Conrad (2003-10), Chris Henderson (1999-2000), Chris Klein (1998-2005), Frank Klopas (1996-97), Mike Sorber (1996), Josh Wolff (2003-06, 2008-10), Kerry Zavagnin (2000-08)

The club did suffer another injury concern during Wednesday night’s elimination in Sacramento, as forward Khiry Shelton exited the match in the 61st minute with a calf injury and is listed as quesitonable for Saturday’s game against Austin.

ACADEMY MIDFIELDER BAZAN NAMED MLS NEXT ALL-STAR

Sporting has work to do this season not only to stand a chance of making the postseason, but inversely to avoid finishing dead last in the league for the first time in club history. Sporting is currently one spot and two points above D.C. United, but D.C. has three games in hand. Sporting ranks last in MLS in points per match (0.87).

Sporting KC Academy U-17 midfielder Edgar Bazan is one of 45 players selected to participate in the inaugural MLS NEXT All-Star Game presented by Allstate, Major League Soccer announced on Wednesday.

The MLS NEXT All-Star Game will be played in an East vs. West format at the National Sports Center in Blaine, Minn., on Wednesday, Aug. 10, providing an opportunity for the best young players in North America to showcase their talent on a national stage.

FIRST OF TWO QUICK-HITTERS vs. AUSTIN FC

Sporting Kansas City is set to face off against Austin FC for the first of two contests in a matter of weeks when the team from the Texas capital visits Children’s Mercy Park on Saturday night. Sporting will pay a return visit to Q2 Stadium in just two weeks time, on Saturday, Aug. 13.

Raised in Overland Park, Kansas, Bazan joined the Sporting KC Academy in August 2017 after playing for Sporting KC Academy Affiliate Sporting Blue Valley. The 16-yearold midfielder is an active member of the United States U-17 Men’s National Team - earning invitations to training camps in November 2021 and January 2022 -- and was added to the Sporting KC II roster earlier this month after signing an academy contract with the MLS NEXT Pro squad.

Sporting and Austin split the regular-season series 1-1-1 during Austin’s expansion season in 2021. Sporting were an unbeaten 1-0-1 at home before Austin claimed victory at Q2 Stadium in their final home game of the 2021 season.

The first-ever meeting between the sides came on May 9, 2021. Austin took a 1-0 lead early on in the match through Jon Gallagher before Sporting produced an emphatic late rally, as first Ilie Sanchez headed home the equalizer in the 82nd minute before Gadi Kinda glanced home the winner in the 90th minute for a 2-1 victory.

MLS NEXT and Allstate will provide the MLS NEXT All-Star Game players with a once-in-a-lifetime experience during MLS All-Star Week, with a full slate of evening programming events and activities in advance of gameday. The players will be fully integrated into MLS All-Star Week festivities while training and competing in their own All-Star Game.

Just over a month later, Sporting again hosted Austin FC at Children’s Mercy Park during the middle of a FIFA international break on June 12, 2021. Similarly to the first match, Austin again took a first-half lead through Cecilio Dominguez before Daniel Salloi equalized midway through the second half - however Sporting was unable to find a winner as the game ended in a 1-1 draw.

SPORTING DEALS WITH EXTREME HEAT IN LOSS TO LAFC

It was a sweltering night at Children’s Mercy Park this past Saturday as Sporting Kansas City fell to a 2-0 loss to Los Angeles FC. It marked the sixth Sporting match at Children’s Mercy Park on a day in which the high temperature at MCI Airport was 100 degrees or higher.

The third and final meeting of the 2021 campaign came on the penultimate day of the season as Sporting paid their first-ever visit to Q2 Stadium on Nov. 3, 2021. With nothing to play for, Austin raced into a 3-0 lead with goals from Sebastian Driussi, Julio Cascante and Jared Stroud before Johnny Russell pulled a goal back to give Sporting hope in the 65th minute, but the hosts held on for a 3-1 win.

OPEN CUP RUN COMES TO AN END

Sporting Kansas City’s run in the 2022 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup came to an end at the Semifinal stage on Wednesday night, falling 5-4 in a penalty shootout against Sacramento Republic FC at Heart Health Park following a 0-0 draw in regulation and extra time.

#SACvSKC QUOTES

Manager & Sporting Director Peter Vermes...

Sporting KC dominated the majority of the match, out-shooting Sacramento 31-13 and 8-2 in shots on goal, while Daniel Salloi also hit the underside of the bar in the first half of extra time. In the end it was decided on penalties, with Johnny Russell, Salloi, Willy Agada and Felipe Hernandez converting for Sporting before Graham Zusi saw his effort saved in the fifth round, allowing Sac Republic to claim victory through Rodrigo Lopez and become the first lower-division team to make the final since 2008.

Thoughts on the match: “We had a lot of chances in the game, especially early on in the first half. We had a ton of chances. We just didn’t put them away. It’s unfortunate because we played well. We moved the ball well. We created some very, very good chances. We turned them over in their half of the field which we thought we could do. We just, at the end of the day, couldn’t stick it away. We hit the crossbar. Just a lot of little, different things – we just couldn’t finish it.”

It’s especially painful for Sporting with the club currently languishing at the foot of the Western Conference with 20 points through 23 games. With just 11 matches left to go in 2022, it would take a Herculean comeback by Peter Vermes’ side to sneak into the MLS Cup Playoffs, though seven of those 11 games will be hosted at Children’s Mercy Park starting this Saturday when the team hosts second-place Austin FC.

On the frustration of the result: “I thought that we did more than enough to get the result that we needed but that’s the game sometimes. I thought we played well. I’m proud of our guys. It hasn’t been easy.

They’ve had to do it in a lot of different ways and a lot of guys have had to play in a lot of games. We’ve had so many different lineups going through this competition. I’m proud of the guys and we’ll move on to our next game.”

Having beaten FC Dallas, Houston Dynamo FC and Union Omaha earlier in the tournament, Sporting had hoped to join Maccabee Los Angeles and Bethlehem Steel with five Open Cup championships had they won it in 2022, but instead remain one back with four titles all-time (2004, 2012, 2015 and 2017).

Sporting KC Game Notes | July 30, 2022 vs. Austin FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes Manager & Sporting Director | Peter Vermes

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

Peter Vermes is in his 14th season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2022 and is the longest-tenured active head coach in MLS. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 216 coaching victories in all competitions are the most club history. During his tenure, he has won four major trophies – the 2012, 2015 and 2017 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups and the 2013 MLS Cup championship – and finished atop the Eastern Conference regularseason standings in 2011 and 2012, as well as the Western Conference in 2018 and 2020. His three U.S. Open Cup championships are the third most in Open Cup history. He is the first coach in club history to lead Sporting KC to eight 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 177 regular-season wins top the club’s all-time chart and rank fifth most in MLS history. He passed his former coach Bob Gansler as the winningest manager in team history with a 3-1 win over Real Salt Lake on Aug. 12, 2015, his 109th victory in all competitions.

He 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 before both were overtaken by Matt Besler early in 2018. 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.

On August 4, 2018, Vermes coached his 302nd MLS regular-season game with Sporting KC, becoming the league’s all-time leader in games coached for one club. He was named the first-ever MLS Sporting Executive of the Year by his peers in 2018. Vermes has coached 505 total games during his Kansas City coaching career, most in club history.

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

With over 14 years of service at Sporting KC, Vermes is one of the longest serving managers in world soccer. Among all 18 leagues with an average attendance of 10,000+, Vermes ranks second, only behind 2. Bundesliga side FC Heidenheim’s Frank Schmidt (Sept. 17, 2007 – present). Among the top 126 leagues in the world as denoted by the CIES Football Observatory, Vermes’ tenure at Sporting KC ranks as the sixth longest active run.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Vermes was an integral part of a young U.S. team at the 1990 World Cup in Italy, where he nearly scored 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 Figueres of the Spanish Second Division.

Goalkeeper Coach | Alec Dufty Goalkeeper coach Alec Dufty is in his sixth season with Sporting Kansas City having been introduced to the organization as the Sporting KC II goalkeeper coach in the side’s inaugural season in 2016. In his first season working with Sporting KC’s goalkeepers, starting goalkeeper Tim Melia enjoyed a record-breaking season where he was named the 2017 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year.

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

Vermes joined Kansas City in 2000 for what would be the most successful season of his MLS career. During his first year in Kansas City, he anchored one of the best defenses in league history and won MLS Defender of the Year honors in helping lead the Wizards to the 2000 MLS Cup Championship. He retired in 2002 after appearing in 209 MLS matches (including playoffs) and playing more than 18,000 minutes. In 2013, Vermes was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame.

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

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

Sporting Kansas City signed French center back Nicolas Isimat-Mirin ahead of the 2021 MLS season. Isimat has played over 250 professional matches since 2010, featuring in the top divisions of France, the Netherlands and Turkey. He has logged 93 appearances each in France’s Ligue 1 and the Dutch Eredivisie, where he won three league titles as an integral member of PSV Eindhoven.

In 2014, Isimat was loaned from Monaco to PSV Eindhoven. In his first Eredivisie season, he helped PSV win the league title by a 17-point margin, leading to PSV acquiring the defender on a permanent transfer ahead of the 2015-16 campaign. He appeared in 26 matches as PSV captured another Eredivisie title. Isimat and PSV won their third title in four years in 2017-2018. In early 2019, Isimat joined Besiktas in Turkey, starting 14 matches during the latter half of the season. For the 2019-20 campaign, the defender was loaned back to Ligue 1 for a stint with Toulouse, making 16 starts.

Born in the Paris suburb of Meudon, Isimat competed in the famous Clairefontaine youth academy from 2004-2007 before continuing his development at Rennes and Valenciennes. He began his professional career as an 18-year-old in 2010 and spent the next three seasons as a regular starter for Valenciennes. Isimat-Mirin landed a transfer to French title contender Monaco, where he played 11 matches for the club in all competitions during the 2013-14 season.

Isimat represented France as a U-20 and U-21 youth international and notably featured during 2013 UEFA European U-21 Championship qualifying. He struck a center back partnership alongside future World Cup winner Raphael Varane as France finished atop their qualifying group.

A left-footed center back, Voloder played every minute for Slovenian powerhouse NK Maribor since the 2021-22 PrvaLiga season began in July, guiding the team to the top of the table through 20 matches. In addition to scoring two goals and helping Maribor post 10 shutouts in league play, the German-born defender started four qualifying matches in the inaugural 2021-22 UEFA Europa Conference League last summer.

Prior to joining Maribor, Voloder began his professional career at heralded German side FC Cologne. He developed in the club’s academy from 2016-2020 and captained the

Voloder featured regularly for FC Cologne II in 2020-21, starting all 26 appearances.

On the youth international stage, Voloder represented Bosnia and Herzegovina at the U-17 through U-19 levels from 2017-2019 before switching his national team allegiance to Germany in September 2019, debuting for the country’s U-19s in a friendly against England. He played his first of five matches for the German U-20s in the fall of 2020 and recently captained the team in an Under 20 Elite League matchup against Norway on Sept. 6, 2021.

Central midfielder Remi Walter signed with Sporting KC in December 2020, having amassed nearly 200 professional appearances since 2012, spanning seven full seasons in his native France and one season in Turkey. He boasts experience in several prestigious European competitions, including the UEFA Europa League, UEFA Champions League qualifying, French Ligue 1 and the Turkish Super Lig. A native of Essey-les-Nancy, Walter developed in Nancy’s youth academy before joining the first team as an 18-year-old in 2013. He became a regular starter in the early stages of the 2013-14 season and spent the next two and a half years as an integral midfield contributor for the side before being transferred to French title contender Nice in early

2016. Walter helped the club to a fourth-place finish as well as qualification to the 2016-17 UEFA Europa League. The following season, he made 26 appearances as Nice took another step forward by placing third in Ligue 1 and booking a spot in the 2017-18 UEFA Champions League. Walter split the 2017-18 campaign between Nice and Troyes on loan, before returning to Nice in the summer of 2018. Walter transferred to Turkish first division outfit Yeni Malatyaspor in January of 2020 before departing later that summer.

On the international stage, Walter was a French youth international who participated in a number of high-profile tournaments, namely the 2012 UEFA U-17 Championship in Slovenia and qualifying for the 2017 UEFA U-21 Championship in Poland.
