Sporting lost for just the second time in three months last time out, falling 2-1 at Real Salt Lake, and now sit just a point ahead of sixth place in the division.

Benny Feilhaber scored two goals for Sporting KC, the second deep into second-half added time, to leave the teams in a wild 4-4 draw April 25 at BBVA Compass Stadium.  The home team has not won in the series in the last five meetings. Each team won at the other’s home ground in the two matchups a season ago. Sporting won 2-0 at BBVA Compass Stadium on June 6, then the Dynamo returned the favor with a 3-1 victory Aug. 29 at Sporting Park.  The teams met three consecutive seasons in the MLS Cup Playoffs from 2011-13, the Dynamo advancing in the first two meetings before SKC triumphed in the last.

First, a scuffed clearance landed in the path of Giles Barnes, and he sliced a half-volley past SKC goalkeeper Luis Marin to pull the game level in the 11th minute.  The Dynamo took the lead in first-half stoppage time when Will Bruin scored with a flick off the back of his head from a Brad Davis pinpoint corner kick. Then Barnes struck again less than a minute into the second half, driving up field and taking a shot from some 22 yards out that beat Marin to his right post.  But Sporting pulled level with goals in short order. First, in the 74th minute, Dom Dwyer pounced on an illadvised back pass and slotted a shot into the open net after rounding Deric in the box. Then six minutes later, Benny Feilhaber converted a penalty after Dynamo defender Jermaine Taylor was ruled to have handled a Nemeth attempt on goal and referee Kevin Stott pointed to the spot.  The Dynamo again nosed in front in the 84th minute when Raul Rodriguez rushed the near post to head home a Davis free kick. But Feilhaber had the final answer deep in stoppage time, scoring his second of the night by driving home a shot from distance that sailed inside the left post.  HOUSTON DYNAMO (4-4-2): Tyler Deric - Kofi Sarkodie, Raul Rodriguez, Jermaine Taylor (ejected 79), DaMarcus Beasley - Alexander Lopez (David Horst 80), Ricardo Clark, Nathan Sturgis (Luis Garrido 84), Brad Davis - Giles Barnes, Will Bruin (Chandler Hoffman 70).  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Luis Marin - Jalil Anibaba, Kevin Ellis (Connor Hallisey 90), Matt Besler, Marcel de Jong (Amadou Dia 63) - Servando Carrasco (Soni Mustivar 55) - Benny Feilhaber, Roger Espinoza Graham Zusi, Dom Dwyer, Krisztian Nemeth.

MLS GAME INFORMATION

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City saw their winning streak put to an end after three games, falling 2-1 to Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium. Sporting are in fourth place in the Western Conference with 33 points from 19 matches.

LAST MATCH  Real took the lead in the 34th minute. From a long ball, Sebastian Jaime headed it in front of a streaking Morales. He took the ball off his chest, then weaved his way through three Kansas City defenders before slotting home for the game's opening goal.  Sporting pulled level just five minutes into the second half. Benny Feilhaber launched a breathtaking strike from almost 30 yards out, creating some space before blasted a long, looping ball that dipped into the side netting.  The winner came 17 minutes from the end. Olmes Garcia made a blistering 60-yard run into the box, touching the ball past goalkeeper Tim Melia before being taken down by the Sporting goalkeeper. Referee Allen Chapman pointed to the spot, and it was Plata who stepped up, placing his shot low and to the right of Melia.  SKC manager Peter Vermes made three changes to the team that defeated the Montréal Impact 2-1 at Sporting Park. Erik Palmer-Brown and Marcel de Jong came into the back four for Kevin Ellis and Amadou Dia, and Paulo Nagamura started in midfield in place of Benny Feilhaber.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Tim Melia - Saad Abdul-Salaam, Erik Palmer-Brown, Matt Besler, Marcel de Jong (Amadou Dia 46) - Soni Mustivar - Paulo Nagamura (Benny Feilhaber 46), Roger Espinoza - Jacob Peterson (Connor Hallisey 79), Dom Dwyer, Krisztian Nemeth.

TEAM NEWS  Sporting saw their season-long three-game league winning streak put to an end in the defeat by Real Salt Lake.

It was just SKC’s second defeat in their last 15 games in all competitions dating back to April 25.  “We were running on fumes coming in, with three games in seven days. I thought they had a good first half, I thought we had a good second half. We had a couple of good chances in the second half that we probably should’ve put away one of them,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes. “They had more energy than we did just based on the fact of three games in seven days. It was tough for us.”  Benny Feilhaber scored for a second consecutive game, with two goals and an assist in those contests. He has a part in each of Sporting’s last three goals. Over his last seven games in league play, dating back to May 29, Feilhaber has four goals and three assists.  “I thought he was impactful. He brought a spark to the team,” said Vermes. “It was good because there’s no way he could’ve played 90 [minutes]. I didn’t want to push him for 90 [minutes]. There were a couple other guys I wanted to change but some other things determine different subs. But he came in and had a good impact in the game. He’s calm on the ball and he was good for us.”  Said defender Matt Besler: “He’s playing with a lot of confidence right now, I mean the shot was an unbelievable goal. It’s great when you have a guy like that playing on your team and hopefully he can keep his form up.”  Roger Espinoza recorded an assist for a second consecutive match, his first assists since May 9. He now has four assists on the year, to go with one goal.  Erik Palmer-Brown made his first start since May 9, coming into central defense and playing the full 90 minutes.  Paulo Nagamura made his first start since May 20, coming into the midfield before being taken off at halftime.

Nagamura did come off the substitutes’ bench the week before.  Marcel de Jong was also making his first start in three matches, coming in at left back before leaving for a substitute.

HOUSTON DYNAMO The Houston Dynamo rebounded from a loss, defeating the LA Galaxy 3-0 on Saturday evening at BBVA Compass Stadium. The Dynamo are in eighth place in the Western Conference with 27 points from 21 matches.

LAST MATCH  The Dynamo took the lead in the ninth minute. Brad Davis pushed up the left flank and sent a hopeful low ball across the box, where Will Bruin was able to control and curl a finish around goalkeeper Brian Rowe.  The Dynamo doubled the lead in the 27th minute. Nathan Sturgis weaved through the LA defense and laid the ball off for Davis, and he drove a low left-footed shot from 22 yards past Lowe for the 2-0 lead.  In the 88th minute, Leonel Miranda played keep-away in the box before cutting back at the edge of the box and lofting a shot into the top corner to clinch the win.  Dynamo head coach Owen Coyle made three changes to the team that fell 2-0 to Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium. Sheanon Williams and A.J. Cochran came into the back four for Taylor Hunter and the suspended Kofi Sarkodie, and Leonel Miranda started out wide in place of Alexander Lopez.  HOUSTON DYNAMO (4-4-1-1): Tyler Deric - Sheanon Williams, David Horst, Raul Rodriguez, A.J. Cochran Leonel Miranda, Nathan Sturgis, Ricardo Clark (Zach Steinberger 90), Alex (Rasheed Olabiyi 87) - Brad Davis Will Bruin (Erick Torres 69).

MLS GAME INFORMATION

TEAM NEWS  The Dynamo have won back-to-back games at BBVA Compass Stadium, extending their home undefeated streak to five games dating back to May 5.  “When we're at our maximum, we're capable of beating anybody in the league and we showed that. I've said before and I said it to the players after the game – the key to us moving forward is the consistency,” said Dynamo head coach Owen Coyle. “I mean we're missing eight players … it was important that we show everybody the qualities that the Dynamo have and we did – we scored three, I'd say we could've done five or six.”  “You can't play great and then play awful, play great and then play awful. We're certainly not where we want to be right now,” said Will Bruin. “But what we've done is in the past. All we can control is every game, week in, week out, and if we play like that, then I think we're going to be looking at making a run for the playoffs come October.”  Will Bruin scored his ninth goal of the season, the third-highest single-season total of his MLS career and three shy of his one-season career-high. Bruin has scored a goal in six of the last seven games where the Dynamo have hit the back of the net, dating back to May 10.  “Will Bruin led the line again, as he does and I'm so pleased with him because he's developed into a real topclass [player] in my mind. He scored a wonderful goal and ran himself into the ground,” said Coyle. “We talked about some fresh legs coming in in Erick "Cubo" Torres and I get Giles Barnes back. I believe I can find a front three in Barnes, Bruin, and Torres that can complement with the other quality that we have. It was a big result that we craved and one we needed to give everybody a lift.”  Brad Davis scored his first goal of the season, ensuring that he has scored at least one league goal in each of 14 MLS league seasons. Davis also recorded his fifth assist of the season, his first since May 16.  Rasheed Olabiyi made his second appearance for the Dynamo, coming on as a late substitute, and recorded his first assist.  Sheanon Williams made his Dynamo debut after his acquisition from Philadelphia Union, coming in at right back and playing the full 90 minutes. A.J. Cochran made his first start of the league season, playing the full match at left back.  Leonel Miranda scored his first goal with the Dynamo, making a second start in the last six matches, playing 90 minutes in a wide midfield role.  “The Open Cup really helped me out in terms of confidence and allowing me to develop a rhythm.

Sporting KC Game Notes | Aug. 1, 2015 vs. Houston Dynamo | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #SKCvHOU: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#SKCvHOU: BY THE NUMBERS

Saturday marks the third meeting between the Western Conference rivals this season. The clubs played to a thrilling 4-4 regular season draw in Houston on April 25 before Sporting KC claimed a 3-1 home win on July 21 in the U.S. Open Cup quarterfinals. A fourth head-to-head matchup remains as Sporting KC will visit BBVA Compass Stadium again on Sept. 23 in league play.

Sporting KC has faced Houston 18 times in all competitions since the beginning of 2011, more than any other MLS opponent. This stretch includes five postseason games — the clubs squared off in the 2011, 2012 and 2013 MLS Cup Playoffs — and two Open Cup games played in 2011 and on July 21. Sporting KC has just one loss in the last 10 meetings against the Dynamo in all competitions with a 5-1-4 record.

A handful of players have made their mark in recent matches of the rivalry.

Dom Dwyer has scored in each of his last five appearances against Houston dating back to November 2013, while Will Bruin has netted in his previous three games against Sporting KC (all competitions). Giles Barnes and Benny Feilhaber both notched a brace in a 4-4 draw this April, with the latter also scoring against Houston in the Open Cup on July 21. Krisztian Nemeth, too, has found the back of the net in both games this season against the Dynamo.

Sporting KC Game Notes | Aug. 1, 2015 vs. Houston Dynamo | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES SPORTING KC TO HOST RIVALS HOUSTON DYNAMO ON SATURDAY Just 11 days after meeting in the U.S. Open Cup, Sporting KC and the Houston Dynamo resume their rivalry in MLS competition Saturday at Sporting Park. Peter Vermes’ side has not lost at home this season (10-0-3 in all competitions) and face a Dynamo club fresh off a 3-0 win over reigning MLS Cup champions LA Galaxy last weekend.

Saturday will be the third matchup between the teams in 2015. Sporting KC and Houston produced a remarkable 4-4 regular season draw in April before Sporting KC won 3-1 in the U.S. Open Cup quarterfinals. Sporting KC is fourth in the Western Conference with 33 points but ranks second with 1.74 points per game. Houston sits eighth in the West with 27 points, five points out of playoff position but with a game in hand on fifth-place Seattle and sixth-place Portland.

Sporting KC striker Dom Dwyer has scored in each of his last five appearances against Houston dating back to November 2013, while Houston forward Will Bruin has netted in his previous three games against Sporting KC (all competitions). Giles Barnes and Benny Feilhaber both notched a brace in a 4-4 draw this April, with the latter also scoring against Houston in the Open Cup on July 21. Krisztian Nemeth has also found the back of the net in both games against the Dynamo this year.

VERMES CLIMBING THE RANKS Sporting KC manager Peter Vermes is one win shy of tying Bob Gansler as the winningest coach in club history. Vermes has 85 regular season wins and 107 victories in all competitions since becoming head coach in August 2009. Both totals are one behind Gansler, who coached the team from 1999-2006.

Vermes is ninth all-time (sixth among active coaches) on the regular season wins chart. He earned his 100th career coaching win in all competitions on May 29 as Sporting KC beat FC Dallas 4-0. He has a 107-71-56 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.

MELIA STEPPING UP Longtime backup goalkeeper Tim Melia earned his first start for Sporting KC on May 3, notching his first career league win and shutout. The sixth-year veteran hasn’t looked back since.

Boasting a 10-2-2 record in all competitions, Melia leads MLS in goals against average (0.73) and ranks fourth in save percentage (0.76). His strong start in goal is arguably one of the most impressive in league history, as he became the first MLS goalkeeper all-time to post six shutouts in his first nine starts for a new club following Sporting KC’s 1-0 win at Vancouver Whitecaps FC on July 12.

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).

HOT AT HOME A 3-1 win over the Houston Dynamo on July 21 in the U.S. Open Cup marked the team’s ninth consecutive home win since the beginning of May, setting a new club record. The result saw Sporting KC top the eight-game winning run made in 2004 when Bob Gansler’s side won the U.S. Open Cup in September and advanced to MLS Cup in November.

FEILHABER ON PACE FOR CAREER SEASON Just past the halfway point of the 2015 season, Benny Feilhaber has set MLS career-highs with seven goals and 10 assists. The 30-year-old World Cup veteran won MLS Player of the Month for April and received MLS All-Star honors for the first time in his career when he was named to the All-Star Fan XI on July 13.

Following a second-half substitute appearance last Friday in which he earned an MLS Goal of the Week nomination for a 30-yard strike against Real Salt Lake, Feilhaber moved to eight goals and 14 assists in all competitions this year. With almost half the season still to play, he is on pace to break Preki’s single-season assist record in all competitions for the club (18 in 2003). He also becomes just the second player in club history — alongside Preki — to record eight goals and 15 assists in a single season (all competitions). Preki accomplished the feat in 1996, 1997 and 2003.

Longest home winning streaks in KC history (all competitions) Win streak Dates Aggregate score Shutouts 9 games May 3, 2015 - present 24-6 5 8 games 8/24 to 11/5/2004 11-0 8 7 games 5/27 to 8/23/1998 14-3 4 7 games 3/25 to 5/20/2000 16-3 6 The home records don’t stop there. Sporting KC is currently riding a 13-game home unbeaten run in all competitions dating back to March 8, one shy of tying the club record which spanned two seasons from 2004-2005. Sporting KC’s 10-game home unbeaten run in MLS (7-0-3) ties a club record first set in 2008, while the team’s six straight MLS home wins are one shy of tying the seven-game record set in both 1998 and 2000.

BESLER, FEILHABER AND ZUSI LOG 45 MINUTES EACH IN ALL-STAR GAME Matt Besler, Benny Feilhaber and Graham Zusi each played 45 minutes in Wednesday’s MLS All-Star Game against Tottenham Hotspur. Besler and Zusi featured in the first half during which Kaka and David Villa scored to secure a 2-1 win over the English Premier League side, who received a goal from Harry Kane before halftime. Feilhaber played the second half as the All-Stars preserved their lead to improve to 9-3-1 against international competition in the annual showcase.

Besler, 28, has led Sporting KC to a league-high nine shutouts in 2015. The club captain is in his seventh season and has won MLS Best XI (2012, 2013), Defender of the Year (2012) and Breakout Player of the Year (2012) awards. The World Cup veteran has 25 career appearances for the U.S. Men’s National Team since his debut in 2013 and helped lead the U.S. MNT to the CONCACAF Gold Cup title in 2013.

Zusi, a fellow Designated Player and 2009 MLS SuperDraft pick, is the only MLS player with at least five goals and seven assists in each of the last four regular seasons. He has led the club in assists every year since 2011 and earned team MVP honors each of the last three seasons to go along with MLS Best XI (2012, 2013) and Breakout Player of the Year (2011) recognitions. The 28-year-old has 32 caps for the U.S. with three goals and six assists, including two assists at the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Feilhaber, 30, was named Etihad Airways MLS Player of the Month for April and has 14 assists across all competition in 2015, four shy of the club’s all-time record.

A five-year MLS veteran, Feilhaber began his professional career with Hamburg (Germany), Derby County (England) and AGF Aarhus (Denmark) in Europe before joining the New England Revolution in 2011. Feilhaber has played 41 times for the U.S. Men’s National Team, highlighted by his game-winning goal in the 2007 Gold Cup final and roles in the 2008 Summer Olympics, 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup and 2010 FIFA World Cup.

TOUGH TO BEAT

Sporting KC has been hard to beat during the first four months of the 2015 campaign. Their four losses are the fewest of any MLS team and the secondfewest through 19 games in team history. The 2000 Kansas City Wizards, led by then-centerback Peter Vermes, started 11-3-5 en route to winning the club’s first Supporters’ Shield title and MLS Cup. Sporting KC has had five losses through 19 games in each of the previous three seasons.

SPORTING KC THROUGH TO OPEN CUP SEMIFINALS The budding rivalry between Sporting KC and Real Salt Lake is set to continue outside of MLS competition. Sporting KC earned a 3-1 win over Houston Dynamo in the U.S. Open Cup quarterfinals on July 21 and will now play the Claret and Cobalt for the fourth time this season with a berth in the final at stake. The game will kick off on Aug. 12 at Sporting Park.

Peter Vermes’ men kicked off their 2015 Open Cup campaign with a 1-0 win over Saint Louis FC on June 16 before routing FC Dallas 6-2 on July 1. Both matches were played before sellout crowds at Sporting Park, which has now attracted the largest single-game attendance in the Round of 32, Round of 16 and quarterfinal round of this year’s tournament.

VETERANS ESPINOZA AND MYERS SET FOR 150TH APPEARANCES Chance Myers and Roger Espinoza were selected by Kansas City in the 2008 MLS SuperDraft at No. 1 and No. 11 overall, respectively. On Saturday, more than seven years after being drafted as rookies, both players could make their 150th appearance for the club in all competitions.

Espinoza, a 2012 MLS All-Star, returned to Sporting KC this season after spending 2013 and 2014 with English club Wigan Athletic FC. He has three goals and 16 assists in his Kansas City career, including a career-high four MLS assists this campaign.

Myers, an eighth-year MLS veteran and Sporting KC’s longest-tenured player, has four goals and 16 assists in all competitions. 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.

LAST TIME OUT: SPORTING KC FALLS 2-1 AT REAL SALT LAKE Sporting KC lost 2-1 at Real Salt Lake last Friday, July 24, in the opening match of MLS Week 21. Benny Feilhaber scored in his third straight match with a stunning 30-yard strike in the 50th minute that fell between Real Salt Lake goals from Javier Morales (34’) and Joao Plata (73’).

The defeat — only the team’s second in 15 matches across all competition, both of which have come by 2-1 scorelines at Rio Tinto Stadium — leaves Sporting KC tied for third in the Western Conference entering MLS All-Star week. Though Friday’s match concludes the regular season series between SKC and RSL, the two sides will meet again on Aug. 12 at Sporting Park in the U.S. Open Cup semifinals.

Sporting KC Game Notes | Aug. 1, 2015 vs. Houston Dynamo | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES (CONTINUED) PALMER-BROWN FEATURES IN HOMEGROWN GAME Sporting KC defender Erik Palmer-Brown started and played 71 minutes on Tuesday against the Club America U-20’s in the 2015 Chipotle MLS Homegrown Game at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colorado. The 18-year-old central defender returned to the summer showcase for the second straight year — after playing 90 minutes in a scoreless draw against the Portland Timbers U-23’s in the inaugural 2014 event — and becomes one of only three players to start in the first two editions of the competition, along with Vancouver’s Russell Teibert and the LA Galaxy’s Bradford Jamieson IV. Led by head coach Landon Donovan, the MLS Homegrown Team took a 1-0 lead in the 34th minute on Tuesday before the Club America U20’s drew level from the penalty spot in the 68th minute. With the score tied 1-1 at the end of regulation, the exhibition advanced directly to a penalty kick shootout in which the Mexican youth side prevailed 5-4 in six rounds.

Palmer-Brown has appeared in nine matches for Sporting KC across all competition — including the team’s 2015 season opener and most recent MLS match — 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. Last month, he represented the United States at the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup in New Zealand.

SPORTING KC ACQUIRES AMOBI OKUGO FROM ORLANDO CITY SC Sporting KC acquired 24-year-old Amobi Okugo from Orlando City SC on July 20 in exchange for midfielder Servando Carrasco. Okugo has been added to Sporting KC’s roster and will be eligible for selection ahead of Friday’s road match at Real Salt Lake.

Okugo has logged 132 MLS appearances as a central defender and holding midfielder in six professional seasons since being selected sixth overall by the Philadelphia Union in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft as a Generation adidas signing out of UCLA. He started all 20 games in his only collegiate season for the Bruins, earning Pac-10 Freshman of the Year honors and being named the Most Valuable Player at the 2010 MLS Player Combine.

Okugo represented the United States extensively at the youth national team levels and attended the U.S. Soccer Residency Program in Bradenton, Florida for three semesters with the U.S. U-17’s from 2006-2007. He went on to appear at the 2009 and 2011 CONCACAF U-20 Championships before playing for the U.S. U-23’s at the 2012 CONCACAF Men’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament.

In 2011, Okugo was a member of Major League Soccer’s Generation adidas roster that was led by Vermes during a tour of the Netherlands. Between 2012-2014, Okugo led all MLS players with 70 blocks and was fourth in the league with 276 interceptions. He joined Orlando City SC for their inaugural MLS campaign in 2015 after leading the Union through their first five MLS seasons. Okugo appeared in 17 of Orlando City SC’s 22 matches across all competitions this year, including two U.S. Open Cup appearances, for the Lions.

SPORTING KC ACADEMY U15’s CROWNED NATIONAL CHAMPIONS The Sporting KC Academy U15’s claimed the U.S. Youth Soccer Cup last Sunday with a 3-1 win over Fewster FC (Maryland) in the final of the 2015 US Youth Soccer National Championships at Mohawk Soccer Complex in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The Sporting KC U15’s become the first boys team from Kansas at any age level to be crowned USYS national champions in the competition’s 80-year history.

Cameron Duke, an active member of the United States Under-14 Boys’ National Team, scored the game’s opening goal in the 22nd minute on an assist from Roman Knox. Fewster FC equalized in the 46th minute before Abdu Kikhia scored the gamewinning goal three minutes later on an assist from Max Rugova. Jacob Hall then clinched the national championship with his goal in the 76th minute on Kikhia’s assist.

Following the match, three of the teams top performers — Hall, Rugova and Mason Visconti — were each named to the US Youth Soccer National Championships Best 11 for the under-15 boys age division.

The Sporting KC Academy U15’s cap off a historic campaign in which the team went a perfect 9-0-0 in the U.S. Soccer Development Academy while finishing second in the Midwest Regional League (5-1-1) and fourth in the National League Blue Division (4-3-0). In order to reach the 2015 USYS National Championships, the Sporting KC U15’s won Kansas State Cup in May and USYS Region II Championships in June.

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 12 appearances in all competitions this season and recorded his first professional assist in a 6-2 U.S. Open Cup win over FC Dallas on July 1. He earned his first MLS start on July 12, a 1-0 win over Vancouver in which Abdul-Salaam received Team of the Week honors from Bleacher Report.

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 and was named to the fan ballot for the 2015 AT&T MLS All-Star Game.

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 captain Matt Besler is in his seventh season at his hometown club. He has earned MLS Best XI (2012, 2013), MLS All-Star (2011, 2013-2015), 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. He was named to the MLS All-Star Fan XI ahead of the 2015 AT&T MLS All-Star Game on July 29.

Besler signed a long-term Designated Player contract with the club in July 2014. His 201 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 162 of his 167 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.

Sporting KC signed defender Marcel de Jong ahead of the 2015 campaign. After logging more than 225 club appearances over his past 10 professional seasons in Netherlands and Germany, he made his MLS and Sporting KC debut on March 14 with a 90-minute performance at FC Dallas. He logged his first MLS assist in a 4-4 draw against Houston on April 25.

A dual citizen of Canada and Netherlands, de Jong began his youth career with PSV Eindhoven before signing professionally with Helmond Sport 2004. After two years in the Dutch second division, he joined Roda JC in the top flight Eredivisie in 2006. De Jong moved to Germany in 2010, signing for FC Augsburg.

De Jong has made 36 appearances for the Canada Men’s National Team with two goals since his international debut at age 21 in 2007, most recently starting in all three group stage matches at the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup in July. He has represented his country at each of the past four Gold Cup tournaments, as well as 2010 and 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying.

Rookie defender Amadou Dia was selected by Sporting KC with the 20th overall pick in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft. On March 8, the 21-year-old became the first rookie to start in a Sporting KC season opener since 2011 and recorded seven interceptions, third most among MLS players in Week 1. He has started nine of 15 MLS appearances this year.

Dia appeared in 70 games during a four-year collegiate career at Clemson, contributing four goals and six assists. As a senior in 2014, he led the Tigers to the school’s first ACC soccer championship since 2001 en route to reaching the Round of 16 in the NCAA Division I Men’s Soccer Championship.

Dia has represented the United States at the under-14 (2007), under-18 (2009, 2010) and under-20 (2012) levels and also holds dual citizenship in his native France. As a youth, he was an NSCAA All-American and Colorado’s Gatorade Boys Soccer Player of the Year in 2010.

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 39 career goals in all competitions now rank sixth in team history.

Dwyer, who was an MLS All-Star in 2014 for the first time in his career, has scored 61 goals in all competitions since the start of 2013—39 for Sporting KC and 22 for former USL PRO affiliate Orlando City SC. He signed a contract extension with the club ahead of the 2015 campaign and leads the team this year with 11 goals in all competitions, including a club-record four goals in a 6-2 U.S. Open Cup win over FC Dallas on July 1.

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, then notched his first game-winning goal in a 1-0 triumph at Vancouver Whitecaps FC on July 12.

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. 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. On July 12, he then became the first keeper in MLS history to record six shutouts in his first nine MLS matches for a new club. His 0.73 goals against average is lowest in MLS. 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.

He has started Sporting KC’s last 11 league matches and recorded 19 interceptions in a 1-0 win over Vancouver on July 12, the most in an MLS match during the Opta era (2011-present).

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. 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 149 appearances for the club in all competitions, recording four goals and 16 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. He tallied the game-winning assist in his first MLS match of the season on June 27, landing MLSsoccer.com Team of the Week honors.

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 14 months, he still ranks third in MLS with 97 successful crosses from open play (including playoffs) 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 245 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 90 games (77 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 last 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 has scored 10 goals across all competitions 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.

Sporting KC acquired 24-year-old Amobi Okugo from Orlando City SC on July 20 of this year. He has played 132 MLS matches as a central defender and holding midfielder in six professional seasons since being selected sixth overall by the Philadelphia Union in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft as a Generation adidas signing out of UCLA. In 2011, Okugo was a member of Major League Soccer’s Generation adidas roster that was led by Sporting KC Manager Peter Vermes during a tour of the Netherlands.

Between 2012-2014, he led all MLS players with 70 blocks and was fourth in the league with 276 interceptions.

Okugo was included on MLSsoccer.com’s “24 under 24” rankings of the league’s top youth talent each of the past two seasons (8th in 2013, 13th in 2014) and joined Orlando City SC for their inaugural MLS campaign in 2015.

Okugo represented the United States extensively at the youth national team levels and attended the U.S. Soccer Residency Program in Bradenton, Florida for three semesters with the U.S. U-17’s from 2006-2007. He went on to appear at the 2009 and 2011 CONCACAF U-20 Championships before playing for the U.S. U-23’s at the 2012 CONCACAF Men’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament.

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 and made his second appearance in the annual match on July 28 of this year.

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 214 regular season appearances over the course of his professional career. Now in his fourth season with Sporting KC, he has contributed eight goals and eight assists in 98 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 214 regular season appearances are second most on the team, behind only Paulo Nagamura (230).

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 tied for fourth in MLS with 48 clean sheet contributions (including playoffs). He received his first call-up to the United States Men’s National Team ahead of the 2014 USMNT January camp.

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. He was named to the All-Star Fan XI ahead of the 2015 AT&T MLS All-Star Game on July 29 and is the only player to appear in each of the last four MLS All-Star games.

Zusi signed a long-term Designated Player contract with the team in July 2014, and Sporting KC is 18-0-2 all-time when he scores an MLS goal.

Sporting KC Coach Bios | Aug. 1, 2015 vs. Houston Dynamo | 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 .558 regular season winning percentage (85-62-50) 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 85 regular season wins are ninth 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.

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.

DYNAMO NOTES 

Dynamo roll to 3-0 win over LA Galaxy: Will Bruin, Brad Davis and Leonel Miranda scored as the Houston Dynamo rolled to a 3-0 win over the LA Galaxy before a BBVA Compass Stadium-record crowd of 22,445 on Saturday. The Dynamo (27 points, 21 games played) climb within five points of the Portland Timbers and Seattle Sounders (32 points, 22 games played each) for the final two playoff spots in the Western Conference. With the game time temperature near 90 degrees, the Dynamo started brightly and were rewarded with the opening goal in the ninth minute. Alex Lima collected a turnover and quickly fed Davis on the left flank, who used one touch to bend a low cross behind the defense, where Bruin settled the ball near the penalty spot for a left-footed finish and 1-0 lead. Davis doubled the lead 18 minutes later, settling a short pass from Nate Sturgis and smashing a low strike from 25 yards past the dive of goalkeeper Brian Rowe and inside the left post for his first goal of the year and 2-0 advantage. Dynamo newcomer Rasheed Olabiyi led the break on the final goal. Making his home debut, the Dynamo midfielder led a counterattack and passed to Miranda on the right edge of the box. Miranda dribbled into a crowd and scooped a shot near the upper corner for his first regularseason goal. Dynamo forward Erick “Cubo” Torres made his first home appearance with the Dynamo, entering for Bruin in the 69th minute for his first regular-season game with the club after a substitute appearance in the U.S. Open Cup on Tuesday.



The Argentinian scored his first career goal in the U.S. Open Cup against the Austin Aztex on June 17. o Midfielder Rasheed Olabiyi assisted on Miranda’s goal for his first Dynamo assist. o Defender Sheanon Williams made his Dynamo debut as a starter at right back after he was acquired from the Philadelphia Union in a trade last Thursday. o Forward Erick “Cubo” Torres made his home debut, and 2015 regular-season debut, as a substitute for Bruin in the 69th minute.



Erick “Cubo” Torres makes regular season & home debut: Saturday’s 3-0 win over the Galaxy included the home debut of Dynamo forward Erick “Cubo” Torres after he made his full debut July 21 at Sporting KC in the U.S. Open cup. The Dynamo signed Torres as a Designated Player last December, exercising his buyout clause from Chivas USA for a club-record transfer fee. Torres was loaned back to Chivas Guadalajara, his childhood club, for the spring season in Liga MX. Torres made his Dynamo debut in Tuesday’s 3-1 U.S. Open Cup loss to Sporting Kansas City, entering as a substitute in the 64th minute at Sporting Park. Torres scored 15 goals in 29 games in 2014, a Chivas USA club record for a single season. The 22-year-old joined Chivas USA on loan from Guadalajara in July 2013 and scored 22 goals in 44 appearances in one and a half seasons, the most goals by a Mexican-born player in MLS history. The striker made his Mexico national team debut last September against Bolivia and scored his first goal for El Tri against Panama a month later. Torres also featured for Mexico youth national teams at the U-17, U-20 and U-23 levels.



Owen Coyle set for return of several players from injury, suspension and international call-ups: Dynamo head coach Owen Coyle will benefit from a larger squad in Kansas City on Saturday than he enjoyed last weekend agains the LA Galaxy. Coyle can expect the return of DaMarcus Beasley (U.S.) and Giles Barnes (Jamaica), both back from the CONCACAF Gold Cup, as well as Kofi Sarkodie and Luis Garrido who will return from suspension. On the injury front, Boniek Garcia has been upgraded to “probable” on the injury report after missing the last few weeks with a hamstring strain.



Barnes stars at first CONCACAF Gold Cup: Dynamo forward Giles Barnes scored in his Jamaica debut in March and has been a regular for head coach Winfried Schaefer since, starting all six games and scoring two goals – game winners against Haiti and the United States – as Jamaica reached its first CONCACAF Gold Cup final. Barnes helped eliminate the United States with a 19-yard free kick in the semifinals and appeared in 485 total minutes in the competition. He has three goals in 11 appearances for Jamaica, all in the last four months since his March 28 debut. Jamaica fell to Mexico, 3-1, in Sunday’s final.



DaMarcus Beasley starts in 2015 AT&T MLS All-Star game for fourth career appearance: Dynamo defender DaMarcus Beasley started and played the first 45 minutes for the MLS All-Stars in Wednesday’s 2-1 victory over Tottenham in the 2015 AT&T MLS AllStar Game. It was Beasley’s fourth starting assignment and fourth MLS All-Star selection, after he started three straight games from 2001-2003. Prior to his call up to the U.S. national team for the Gold Cup, Beasley led the Dynamo field players in minutes this season.



Will Bruin is second Dynamo player to 50 goals: Will Bruin scored his 50th career Dynamo goal in all competitions in a 3-1 U.S. Open Cup quarterfinal loss at Sporting KC on July 21. Bruin, in his fifth season with Houston, is the second player in Dynamo history to record 50 career goals in all competitions with the club. Brian Ching, the club leader, tallied 69 goals in 224 career games with Houston. Bruin now has 51 career goals in 157 career games in all competitions with the Dynamo.



DaMarcus Beasley extends U.S. men’s national team appearance streak to 15 years: Dynamo defender DaMarcus Beasley entered as a substitute for the U.S. men’s national team in a loss to Panama in the third place game at the CONCACAF Gold Cup. With the appearance, Beasley extended his remarkable streak of consecutive years with an appearance with the national team to 15. The Fort Wayne, Indiana native has played in at least one game for U.S. national team every year from 2001-15. Beasley captained the United States to the Gold Cup title in 2013, his fourth Gold Cup championship (2002, 2005, 2007, 2013). The left back joined the Dynamo last July after starting four games at the 2014 FIFA World Cup to become the first American to play in four World Cups. Beasley, 33, has made 122 appearances for the U.S. (fifth most) and is tied for ninth in U.S. history with 17 goals and tied for ninth in assists with 13.

His resume also includes 11 career matches at the FIFA World Cup, tied for second-most in U.S. history.



Dynamo acquire Sheanon Williams, international roster slot from Philadelphia Union: The Dynamo acquired defender Sheanon Williams (pronounced: Shane-en) and an international roster slot from the Philadelphia Union in exchange for general allocation money on July 23. Williams, 25, appeared in 141 regular-season games in six seasons with the Union, averaging 29 appearances per season over the last four years. The defender tallied seven goals and 19 assists with Philadelphia, including eight, a career-high, in 2013. Williams made 17 regular-season appearances (15 starts) for the Union this season and is one of six players in the Eastern Conference to log four consecutive seasons with at least 2,000 minutes with the same club (2011-14). A Boston native, Williams joined the U.S. U-17 national team residency program in Bradenton, Florida and played at the 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Korea. Two years later, Williams played at the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Egypt. Williams is eligible for selection on Saturday when the Dynamo host the LA Galaxy at BBVA Compass Stadium. The Dynamo will hold the acquired international roster slot through the end of the 2016 season.



April 25, 2015 – Dynamo 4, Sporting KC 4: The last regular-season meeting between Houston and Sporting KC was a classic: a wild 4-4 draw between the clubs at BBVA Compass Stadium. Giles Barnes and Benny Feilhaber each scored two goals and Sporting KC overcame 3-1 and 4-3 deficits to steal a road point. Krisztian Németh delivered Sporting KC a 1-0 lead just two minutes into the game as Sporting KC broke from midfield and he guided a pinpoint shot inside the far post for his third goal of the season. The Dynamo answered nine minutes later as Barnes collected a blocked clearance and volleyed into the upper corner from 15 yards to tie the game.

With the Dynamo leading 3-2 midway through the second half, Jermaine Taylor was judged by referee Kevin Stott to have handled the ball with his arm when he appeared to block Németh’s goal-bound shot with his chest. Stott issued Taylor a red card and awarded Sporting KC a penalty, which Feilhaber converted to even the score, 3-3. Houston appeared to claim the winner in the 83rd minute as Davis served a set piece from the right flank and Raúl Rodríguez rose to head into the bottom corner for a 4-3 lead and his first goal with the Dynamo. But Sporting KC produced the game’s final moment in the fifth minute of stoppage time. Graham Zusi headed a pass to Feilhaber just outside the penalty area and the midfielder cracked a low drive inside the right post for the equalizing goal.



Dynamo continue stretch of 10 of 14 games on road: Saturday’s game at Sporting KC is Houston’s seventh road game in ten games and is part of a span 10 of 14 away from home. The road-packed schedule began May 22 in Southern California and included road trips to Los Angeles, New York City, Portland, Dallas, San Jose and Salt Lake. After Saturday’s home game against the Galaxy, the Dynamo are back on the road for four of their next five games.



Giles Barnes scores winning goal as Jamaica upsets United States to advance to first CONCACAF Gold Cup final: Dynamo forward Giles Barnes scored his second game-winning goal in five days, smashing a 19-yard free kick into the upper corner for the goal that stood up as the winner for Jamaica in a 2-1 triumph over the United States on July 22 in Atlanta.

A new era under head coach Owen Coyle: The Dynamo appointed Owen Coyle as the second head coach in team history on Dec. 9, welcoming the former English Premier League manager to the Bayou City. A Scotland native, Coyle scored 297 goals in over 600 appearances in England and Scotland, primarily with Airdrie and also with Motherwell and Bolton. The forward with Irish ancestry made one appearance for the Republic of Ireland national team. As manager, Coyle led Burnley to promotion to the English Premier League in 2009 for the first time in 33 years. Under Coyle, the Clarets also reached the League Cup semifinals in 2008.

Coyle took the helm at Burnley in November 2007 and earned success in his first full season in the English Championship, leading the Clarets to a fifth place finish in the 2008-09 campaign and a place in the Championship playoffs.

Burnley defeated Reading, 3-0, in the semifinal before beating Sheffield United, 1-0, in the final for promotion to the Premier League.

Coyle has thrived in Cup competitions, repeatedly bouncing clubs from higher divisions. With St. Johnstone, he beat Scottish giants Rangers in the 2006-07 Scottish League Cup quarterfinals and Scottish Premier League clubs Falkirk and Motherwell to reach the Scottish Cup the same year. He then guided Burnley to three upsets of Premiership clubs in the 2008-09 League Cup – defeating Fulham, Chelsea and Arsenal in succession to reach the semifinals. Coyle’s most recent managerial role was with Wigan Athletic in the English Championship. He joined the Latics in June 2013 but left the club in December of the same year.
