REAL SALT LAKE 2020 GAME NOTES LAST MATCH RECAP Real Salt Lake played to a scoreless draw with Minnesota United FC on Friday night, keeping RSL atop Group D after two matches in the 2020 MLS is Back Tournament.

Goalkeeper Zac MacMath made three saves to preserve the shutout – his second of the tournament and third in four matches this season.

In a back-and-forth first half, Minnesota outshot RSL 5-3, though Salt Lake held the possession advantage. The best scoring chance came in first-half stoppage time when Robin Lod hit the crossbar. The rebound fell to Ethan Finlay, but his headed attempt was saved by MacMath and the match went into halftime scoreless.

The second half saw both sides tire as the match started to open up and both teams sought the breakthrough. MacMath faced another test early in the second half when he palmed away a low shot from Minnesota that looked destined for the back of the net. From there, both sides created chances that never materialized as the match ended scoreless.

LAST TIME VS OPPONENT Real Salt Lake (11-9-4, 37 points) fell behind in the first half, but stormed back for a 2-1 road win over Sporting Kansas City on Saturday at Children’s Mercy Park.

FW Corey Baird scored goals in both halves to power RSL back from an early deficit for the second straight week as Salt Lake improved to 5-1-3 since the Gold Cup break in June.

In a physical first half, Sporting struck first when Johnny Russell thundered a free kick around the wall and into the top-left corner of the net to make it 1-0 in the 31st minute. RSL found the equalizer in the 38th minute when Baird connected on a rebound when MF Albert Rusnák’s free kick caromed off the upright, leaving Baird alone in front of goal for the putback goal to level the match at 1-1. Kansas City had a chance to take a lead into halftime when DF Donny Toia was whistled for a foul in the box, but Felipe Gutierrez clanged his penalty off the upright in stoppage time and RSL cleared it keep the match even at the break.

In the second half, Baird added his second goal in the 70th minute, taking down a ball from FW Jefferson Savarino before blasting it inside the far post for his second goal of the match to put RSL up 2-1.

The 14-year veteran currently sits at 488 regular season appearances. Beckerman is the MLSall-time record holder for minutes played, games played and games started for field players. Beckerman will reach 350 matches played for RSL should he feature in 10 matches for the club in 2020.

Justen Glad – On July 27, 2019 Glad became the first RSL Homegrown player to appear in 100 regular season matches for the club. On August 10, Glad became the first RSL Homegrown player to start 100 regular season matches.

Albert Rusnak - Is 8 matches away from featuring in his 100th regular season match for the club. With 92 appearances and 88 starts for RSL since 2017, the Slovakian has scored 27 goals while adding 26 assists to his name.

GENERAL MANAGER ELLIOT FALL Fall has served in different capacities at Real Salt Lake since 2007. During the 2013-2014 seasons, he worked closely with former General Manager Garth Lagerwey as Director of Soccer Operations. In November of 2014, Fall was named Assistant General Manager and has held that position for five seasons. In each of those roles, he assisted in player acquisition and retention as well as in player development, overseeing the Real Monarchs and the RSL Academy at different stages. A graduate of the University of Utah and Salt Lake City’s Judge Memorial Catholic High School, Fall is a lifelong Salt Lake City resident. At 34 years old, he is the youngest General Manager in Major League Soccer.

HEAD COACH FREDDY JUAREZ Juarez, 41, originally joined the Real Salt Lake organization as RSL Academy Head Coach in 2010, winning the USSDA U-16 Championship in 2012 with a roster that boasted future RSL players Justen Glad, Brooks Lennon and Sebastian Saucedo, among others. He remained with the Academy until being promoted to Head Coach of Real Monarchs SLC in the club’s inaugural season in the USL in 2015. After two seasons in that post, he was again promoted to Real Salt Lake’s coaching staff as an assistant coach, where he has played an integral role in continued youth development at the MLS level and in implementing tactical approaches that have helped RSL improve in the standings in each of his three years on staff. In August, he took the helm as Interim Head Coach, with RSL going 5-4-1 in the final 10 matches in that role after posting a 2-0-1 record in his three matches as acting head coach prior to being named in the interim role. A native of Las Cruces, New Mexico, Juarez played 10 seasons in the USL for the El Paso Patriots and Minnesota Thunder before retiring in 2007. Throughout his playing career, he coached at the youth levels and continued in that capacity upon his retirement.

HOMEGROWN LEADERS Real Salt Lake has led Major League Soccer in minutes played by Academy products in each of the last two seasons and reached the Western Conference Semifinals in both seasons, totlaing 23,100 minutes played. With Real Monarchs reaching the USL Championship Final in 2019 and the USL Regular Season Shield in 2017, RSL’s youth development structure has shown an ability to develop young players coming through the RSL Academy as well as those joining from other organizations.

RSL’s Homegrowns played 12,274 out of the 30,600 minutes played by field players during the 2019 season (40.1%).

During that season with the Rapids, he posted a 9-3-5 record with six shutouts and a 0.76 goals against average. At just 28 years old, he is the sage veteran of the goalkeeping unit. Prior to his MLS career, he was a three-year starter at the University of Maryland and won the 2008 NCAA National Championship.

David Ochoa - 19 years old, 6’2”, 174 pounds Whereas MacMath has MLS experience, Ochoa is the up-and-coming youngster looking to break into first team minutes for the first time in his career.

Donny Toia – 27 years old, 5’8”, 155 pounds In 2019, Toia returned to Real Salt Lake – where he developed in the RSL Academy and was the club’s first Homegrown signing in 2011. He was a stalwart at left back in his first season back with the club, notching one goal and one assist in 24 matches, adding two more starts in the MLS Cup Playoffs. In an MLS career that has seen him play for Chivas USA, the Montreal Impact and Orlando City SC along with his time at RSL, he has totaled two goals and seven assists in 133 matches. In 2015, he started for the Montreal Impact in their run to the CONCACAF Champions League final, adding international experience to his resume.

Right backs Aaron Herrera – 22 years old, 5’11”, 155 pounds In his second MLS season in 2019, Herrera was a breakthrough performer at right back. After starting 14 matches at left back in his rookie season in 2018, he shifted over to his more natural position at right back last year and started in 31 of his 32 appearances, tallying four assists. The increased playing time for the RSL Academy product saw increased exposure as well. Already a 2017 U-20 World Cup defender, Herrera has been a fixture with the U.S. U-23 National Team in its preparations for the 2020 Olympic qualifying tournament in March.

Alvin Jones – 25 years old, 6’0”, 172 pounds Jones enters his first MLS season after playing eight seasons with W Connection in his native Trinidad and Tobago and the 2018 season with the OKC Energy in the USL Championship.

HOW #MLSISBACK WORKS What is the tournament format?

• The 24 participating clubs have been divided into six groups of four teams each.

• All clubs will play three group matches that count toward the regular season.

• The top 16 teams from the group stage will advance to the knockout rounds. That field will include the top half of each group as well as the four best third-place finishers in Groups A through F. • A single-elimination bracket will unfold from the Round of 16 to the Championship. These single-leg matches will go straight to penalty kicks if tied after 90 minutes.

• The tournament will feature a continuous schedule of matches nearly every day, with games beginning at 8 a.m., 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. CT. Most matches will be played in the evening. The group stage will see 16 consecutive days of MLS action from July 8-23.

2. A berth in the Concacaf Champions League Once the 26-team field is whittled to 16 teams for the knockout rounds, matches no longer count toward the regular season table. However, clubs will still be battling for the 2021 Scotiabank Concacaf Champions League berth that goes to the champion.

Furthermore, this single-elimination bracket will give teams valuable experience in winor-go-home situations ahead of the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs further down the road.

3. Prize money The MLS is Back Tournament will dole out a total of $1.1 million in prize money to participating teams. The further Sporting advances in the competition, the more money players and coaches will bring back to Kansas City.

What are the important dates to know?

• July 8-23: Group Stage • July 25-28: Round of 16 • July 30- Aug. 1: Quarterfinals • Aug. 5-6: Semifinals • Aug.11: Championship

Neutral-Site Matches Sporting will be the designated home team for its first two group stage games against Minnesota and Colorado before facing Real Salt Lake as the away side. But for all intents and purposes, these are neutral-site contests.

Incredibly enough, Sporting has played just two true neutral-site matches in the club’s 906-game history across all competitions: the 2000 and 2004 MLS Cups. Kansas City defeated the Chicago Fire 1-0 in MLS Cup 2000 at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C. prior to falling 3-2 to D.C. United in MLS Cup 2004 at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California.

Are there any other special tournament rules?

• The substitution limit for the tournament will follow the new protocol set by the IFAB and allow five substitutions per match, up from the standard three.

• Teams can name a matchday roster of 23 players, up from the standard 18.

• As is the case during regular MLS play, the Professional Referees Organization (PRO) will have access to Video Review for all games.

On June 21, 2009, Kansas City faced Mexican side Atlas in a faux-neutral-site game at Hermann Stadium in St. Louis, Missouri. The Wizards were technically the home team but chose to play the SuperLiga matchup four hours east of Kansas City to give St. Louis soccer fans the opportunity to catch a game between two top-flight North American clubs.

What will happen after the tournament ends?

• MLS plans to continue its regular season later this summer with a revised schedule in home markets.

• The regular season will be followed by the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs and the 25th MLS Cup. The revised regular season schedule will be released at a later date.

Sporting KC Game Notes | July 22, 2020 vs. Real Salt Lake | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #RSLvSKC: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#RSLvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City closes out Group D play in the MLS is Back Tournament this Wednesday morning with a unique 8 a.m. CT kickoff against Real Salt Lake at ESPN Wide World of Sports in Orlando.

Sporting knows that a win or a draw will see the side advance to the knockout stage of the tournament, while the side could advance with a loss but would need other results to fall in their favor to be one of the four best third-placed teams.

In 2019, Sporting went 0-2-0 against RSL, first falling to a disappointing 2-0 defeat at RIo Tinto Stadium on June 29, 2010 as Sam Johnson scored a first-half brace. In the return fixture at Children’s Mercy Park on Aug. 10, 2019, Sporting took the lead through a terrific free kick from Johnny Russell, only for Corey Baird to score either side of halftime and clinch a 2-1 road victory for RSL. The two meetings in 2019 paled in comparison to the five matches the two sides played in 2018. RSL got results in each of the regular-season matches, going 1-0-1, but Sporting had the last laugh in knockout competition as Peter Vermes’ side knocked RSL out of both the U.S. Open Cup and the MLS Cup Playoffs that year.

Sporting has won just one of their last 14 regular-season games against RSL and are 9-12-8 in the all-time regular-season series.

However, SKC also has a history of winning when it matters most against Salt Lake, most notably beating RSL in the 2013 MLS Cup Final in a penalty shootout and defeating the Utah side on their way to winning the 2015 U.S. Open Cup. Sporting also beat RSL in the only postseason encounter the two sides have shared in 2018, while also knocking them out of the U.S. Open Cup that same year. The only knockout match that Real Salt Lake has won over Sporting throughout the club’s history was in the 2007 U.S. Open Cup Round of 16.

Sporting KC Game Notes | July 22, 2020 vs. Real Salt Lake | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SCENARIOS TO ADVANCE

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

BESLER AND ZUSI HIT MILESTONES

Sporting Kansas City enters their Group D finale in the MLS is Back Tournament knowing that any form of result will see the side advance to the knockout stage. A win will put SKC in the best standing, but a draw will also confirm a spot in the next round. Even a loss, with other results going their way, can see Sporting advance.

Sporting Kansas City stalwarts Matt Besler and Graham Zusi each reached a pair of milestones during Friday night’s wild 3-2 victory over the Colorado Rapids in the MLS is Back Tournament.

Besler became the first player in club history to reach 25,000 regular-season minutes played. The hometown defender is comfortably in first place in club history in that category, almost 3,000 minutes ahead of longtime teammate and friend Zusi. Rounding out the top five in SKC history are current assistant coach Kerry Zavagnin, former defender Nick Garcia and current squad member Roger Espinoza.

• Win vs. RSL: Sporting finishes 1st or 2nd in group and advances to Round of 16 • Draw vs. RSL: Sporting finishes 2nd or 3rd in group and advances to Round of 16 as either a top-two finisher or one of the four best third-place finishers • Loss vs. RSL: Sporting finishes 3rd (potential advancement as one of the four best third-place teams) or 4th in group (Sporting would be eliminated).

Zusi scored his first goal in over two years when his late strike deflected over a helpless William Yarbrough to give SKC the points. Zusi last found the net during a freezing cold April 15, 2018 afternoon when his late goal salvaged a point for Sporting against the Seattle Sounders at Children’s Mercy Park. The goal puts Zusi on 29 goals and 71 assists in MLS regular season play, making him just the second player in club history to reach 100 goal contributions after legendary forward Preki (181 goal contributions).

Sporting will finish first in Group D on Wednesday if: • Sporting beats Real Salt Lake AND Colorado wins or ties vs. Minnesota Sporting will finish second in Group D on Wednesday if: • Sporting beats Real Salt Lake AND Minnesota beats Colorado, OR • Sporting ties Real Salt Lake, Colorado beats Minnesota, and Sporting finishes with a better goal difference than Minnesota (or SKC and MIN finish equal on goal difference, but SKC finishes with more goals scored) Sporting will advance to the Round of 16 on Wednesday if: • Sporting beats or ties Real Salt Lake

PULIDO CONVERTS FROM THE SPOT

Sporting Kansas City Designated Player Alan Pulido continued his roaring start to his SKC career with his third goal in four games when he confidently fired a penalty kick beyond William Yarbrough in the 3-2 win over the Colorado Rapids on Friday night.

After a frustarting 2-1 defeat against Minnesota United to open the tournament on July 12 where Sporting conceded twice in second-half stoppage time, Peter Vermes’ men rebounded with a hard-fought 3-2 victory over the Colorado Rapids on July 17.

Pulido now has three goals and two assists in his first four games for the club, and has a goal or an assist in each of his first four games for the club - extending his own record as no other player accomplished that feat in their first three games prior to Pulido.

Kellyn Acosta put the Rapids ahead early but Sporting roared back in the second half, buoyed by Danny Wilson’s straight red card for denial of an obvious goalscoring opportunity, and took the lead with goals from Khiry Shelton and Alan Pulido. Jonathan Lewis found an unlikely equalizer for the Rapids late on but Sporting weren’t to be denied as Graham Zusi scored his first goal in over two years to seal the victory in stoppage time.

Fellow offseason arrival Gadi Kinda continued to create, as his dinked cross to the far post allowed Khiry Shelton to slam home the equalizer, putting Kinda on two goals and two assists this season. Kinda and Pulido are two of three players in MLS this season with multiple goals and assists, joining Columbus Crew SC playmaker Lucas Zelarayan.

OFFENSIVE FULLBACK PRODUCTION

SCOUTING OLD RIVALS RSL

Sporting Kansas City’s system typically sees the fullbacks join the attack frequently, looking to create overloads and stretch the opposition’s defense as the team’s forwards get in the box. That system worked a treat during Friday night’s 3-2 victory over the Colorado Rapids, as both fullbacks tallied goal contributions.

MLS Cup 2013, won by Sporting in a penalty shootout at Children’s Mercy Park, is viewed as the progenator of this Western Conference rivalry. Since then, Sporting and RSL have taken part in many other memorable battles. Manager Peter Vermes’ side recently prevailed in the 2018 Western Conference Semifinals, winning a 4-2 thriller in the second leg at Children’s Mercy Park to claim a 5-3 aggregate victory.

Left back Luis Martins was credited with an assist on Khiry Shelton’s equalizer, as his delivery was sent back across the face of goal by Gadi Kinda for Shelton to slam home.

It was Martins’ second assist of the 2020 campaign, having also set up Kinda’s gamewinner in Vancouver on Feb. 29. Martins now has two assists in four games this season, after not tallying an assist in 10 games in 2019 after joining the club last summer.

In the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, Sporting ousted RSL in the 2015 semifinals en route to the championship and eliminated their Utah rivals three years later in the Round of 32.

While Sporting has held a decided upper hand in knockout-style competitions, RSL has enjoyed a great run in the regular season series. Sporting is just 1-8-5 in its last 14 regular season fixtures against Salt Lake, which includes a pair of losses last year.

With the game deadlocked at 2-2 in stoppage time, right back Graham Zusi rifled the ball into the area following a corner and his effort deflected over the goalkeeper and into the net for the winner. It was Zusi’s first goal since April 2018 and puts him on 100 total goal contributions for the club (29 goals, 71 assists).

Under the guidance of second-year head coach Freddy Juarez, RSL has allowed just one goal through four matches this season. That’s tied for the fewest in MLS and an indication that Sporting, which ranks second in MLS with 11 goals scored, won’t have it easy on Wednesday.

The last time a pair of fullbacks both contributed to goals for Sporting was on July 14, 2018 - a 3-2 defeat to the New York Red Bulls at Red Bull Arena. Right back Zusi tallied two assists in the game, while Jaylin Lindsey - deputizing at left back - recorded his first professional assist on the opener that day.

RSL and goalkeeper Zac MacMath are currently amidst a 257-minute shutout streak dating back to March 7, the longest such streak in the league this season. Additionally, RSL’s 8.5 shots faced per game are the fewest in MLS. Indeed, the likes of MacMath and defenders Marcelo Silva, Justen Glad, Donny Toia and Aaron Herrera have successfully locked things down in Orlando.

WHAT HE’S SAYING: PETER VERMES

On the emotional highs of the 3-2 win over Colorado: “It’s emotional for so many reasons. It’s also emotional because the guys have a lot of pride. They want to win. They work hard. They’re committed. Where the asterisk goes on this is they found a way to win in this game today. It doesn’t matter that they got a guy thrown out or that they got two guys thrown out. I don’t really care. You’ve still got to find a way to win. And we did that. That was the important aspect. They dealt with everything really well, I think, from an emotional point of view. They didn’t get caught up in what was happening with the other players on the other team. They didn’t get caught up with the referee. They just stayed focus on what we wanted to do. The fact that they got the result the way they did was a big step for us.”

SHELTON CONTINUES FINE FORM

Sporting Kansas City striker Khiry Shelton has been one of the stars of the MLS is Back Tournament, scoring in back-to-back games and causing havoc for opposing defenses.

During Friday night’s 3-2 victory over the Colorado Rapids, Shelton first drew the red card shown to Danny Wilson after the Scottish defender dragged him to the ground, resulting in a DOGSO red card, before Shelton got himself on the scoresheet moments later with a well-taken volley from a tight angle to tie the game up.

Shelton, who spent 2019 in Germany helping SC Paderborn 07 achieve promotion to the Bundesliga, had already tallied Sporting’s first goal of the tournament in the 2-1 loss to Minnesota United on July 12. When you include the 4-0 win over the Houston Dynamo on March 7, Shelton has now scored in three consecutive games, making him the 16th player in club history to do so. Other members of the team to have achieved that feat include Gianluca Busio (2019), Felipe Gutierrez (2018) and Daniel Salloi (2018).

On the team’s mental preparations for the game: “The one thing is that – and I don’t want to get too deep into this – but we have a very good idea and we’re very accurate in knowing where each guy is as a personality type.

We make sure that we’re aware of how we have to deal with the guys and what they need. With all that being said, it’s really hard when you realize that we’re in a property that has two hotels on it. Those are the two hotels that house all the teams and the MLS staff. And you can’t leave that area. You can’t leave that area. And then we couldn’t really leave our rooms for 10 days. I don’t care what you do, at some point you’re kind of in this rut of a cycle. I give the guys a lot of credit because I think that they’ve done really well.”

The 27-year-old has 11 goals and 16 assists across 78 MLS games since entering the league as the second overall pick in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft for New York City FC, including five goals and six assists in 24 MLS regular-season games for Sporting KC when combining his 2018 and 2020 seasons.

INCIDENT

DECISION

July 12, 2020 vs. MIN Joe Dickerson Armando Villarreal MIN Goal Overturned, No Goal After MIN’s Ethan Finlay puts the ball into the back of the net from close range, Dickerson consults with his VAR Villarreal who flags that Kevin Molino was offside and screening SKC goalkeeper Tim Melia in the lead-up to the goal.

July 17, 2020 vs. COL Dave Gantar Rubiel Vazquez COL Yellow Card Overturned, Red Card SKC’s Khiry Shelton is brought down by COL’s Danny Wilson while through on goal. Referee Dave Gantar initially shows Wilson a yellow card, but after consulting with his VAR, changes his decision to a red card for denial of an obvious goalscoring opportunity.

July 17, 2020 vs. COL Dave Gantar Rubiel Vazquez SKC No Penalty Overturned, Penalty SKC’s Graham Zusi whips in a cross from the right that deflects off COL’s Diego Rubio’s elbow and out for a corner. After consulting with his VAR, referee Dave Gantar awards SKC a penalty for handball.

Sporting KC Game Notes | July 22, 2020 vs. Real Salt Lake | 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 12th season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2020 and is the longest-tenured active head coach in MLS. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 181 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. 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 146 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 420 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 10 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 51 leagues in the world as denoted by the CIES Football Observatory, Vermes’ tenure at Sporting KC ranks as the fourth 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 (USL Championship) 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 enters his third 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.

Year

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 announced in January 2020 that the club had acquired central midfielder Gadi Kinda on a one-year loan from Israeli Premier League side Beitar Jerusalem. Kinda has played over 200 matches in Israel since turning professional in 2011 at age 17. He starred as one of the Israeli Premier League’s best players during the first half of the 2019-20 season. Before his move to Sporting, the playmaker ranked fourth in the league with a team-best seven goals while also leading the side with four assists.

Born in Ethiopia and raised in Israel, Kinda joined Beitar Jerusalem in February 2019 and started 30 of 31 appearances in all competitions. Kinda spent the first seven and a half years of his professional career at FC Ashdod. He developed as a youth in his hometown club’s academy prior to landing an top-flight debut in September 2011 as a 17-year-old.

He became a regular starter for Ashdod during the 2013-2014 campaign, notably scoring his first top-fight goal in a 3-2 defeat of Israeli giants Maccabi Haifa in September 2013.

Ashdod spent the 2015-16 season in Israel’s second division, but a strong bounce-back culminated with a Liga Leumit title as Kinda earned 27 appearances and helped his team finish atop the standings. Ashdod’s promotion saw Kinda tally seven goals and seven assists over the next two and a half seasons before his transfer to Beitar Jerusalem.

On the international stage, Kinda has represented Israel at the U-18, U-19 and U-21 levels. Kinda has yet to earn his first cap for the Israeli Men’s National Team but was selected to the senior squad for UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying in fall 2019.
