TEAM NEWS  Sporting returned to their winning ways after a defeat and a draw, the club’s first winless run since April 11-25.

They have still lost just two games over their last 17 in all competitions.  “It was a really difficult game because they are a good team and we realize that going forward, these are the types of teams that we are going to be seeing more and more, and we got to have a way to play them and get a result,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes.  Benny Feilhaber scored a goal and adding an assist, the third time this season he’s had at least one goal and one assist in a league game. Feilhaber moved into a tie for the MLS lead with his 12th assist of the season; he has eight goals and eight assists over the last 14 league games, dating back to April 25.  “I'm playing well because of the guys around me. It's about our team for us, and without the guys around me I can't do the things I do,” said Feilhaber. “[Sebastian] Giovinco, you can probably put him on any team and he is going to be a superstar, he is a great player. But our team won out because we all took our responsibilities and we did that effectively. I am very proud of that.”  Krisztian Nemeth scored his eighth goal of the season, his first since June 27. He has two goals and two assists over his last six league games; five goals and three assists in his last eight matches in all competitions.  Jimmy Medranda made his first start since May 20, making his professional debut at left back, playing the full 90 minutes.  Jacob Peterson scored his first goal of the season, his first since last July 26, when he also hit the back of the net against Toronto FC.  “We had to make a few changes even before the game in regards to [Graham Zusi] having to come out. A couple of guys that started the game – Jimmy Medranda's first time playing left back and he had a tremendous performance, so I am very happy for a few guys that played really, really well. Jacob Peterson playing up top and scoring a goal, getting the insurance goal,” said Vermes.  Making his Sporting KC debut, coming on for the final 33 minutes as a substitute, Amobi Okugo collected his first assist for the club, his first since the final game of last season.  On Wednesday, Sporting reached the U.S. Open Cup Final for a third time, coming from behind to defeat Real Salt Lake 3-1 at Sporting Park. After Olmes Garcia gave the visitors the lead, Soni Mustivar leveled terms just before halftime.

Rivero picked himself up to take his own penalty, slotting home in the seventh minute.  Vancouver found an elusive second goal when Pa-Modou Kah tapped home from close range in the 40th minute after Kekuta Manneh wriggled his way free in the box to play the ball across goal.  Whitecaps FC made it 3-0 just four minutes into the second half when Cristian Techera deftly finished a low Jordan Harvey cross from the left with the outside of his foot at the back post.  The rout was complete in the 68th minute when Techera latched onto a free kick that was headed away from goal, drilling home from just beyond the edge of the box.  The visitors' miserable night was completed two minutes before full time when Abdoulie Mansally saw a straight red cardfor a lunge at Kendall Waston.

MLS GAME INFORMATION



VANCOUVER WHITECAPS FC (4-2-3-1): David Ousted - Steven Beitashour, Kendall Waston, Pa-Modou Kah, Jordan Harvey - Matias Laba (Russell Teibert 69), Gershon Koffie - Cristian Techera, Nicolas Mezquida (Pedro Morales 63), Kekuta Manneh - Octavio Rivero (Darren Mattocks 76).

TEAM NEWS  Whitecaps FC rolled to a third consecutive victory in the win against Real Salt Lake. Whitecaps FC have scored 10 goals in the three victories and won the last two games by shutout; it’s the first time in the club’s MLS history they’ve scored three or more goals in three consecutive games.  The four goals were a season-high for Whitecaps FC; before the two previous matches where they scored three goals, they had hit for that many just once over the course of the season (3-0 vs. Philadelphia, May 9).  “Sometimes it’s your day and other days, it isn’t your day. I think we’ve played a lot better here at BC Place and lost, but that doesn’t matter, does it? But, I would take a 1-0 victory as well,” said Whitecaps FC head coach Carl Robinson.  Said Pa-Modou Kah: “It’s coming together with triple matches with three goals or more. Right now we have to keep on doing it and as long as we finish out chances, we know we can win games. When we have David behind us, with the back four and Koffie and [Matias Laba] – it’s unbelievable to have them in front of us – so for us it’s about finishing our chances when we get them.”  Cristian Techera scored his first two-goal game in MLS, netting the final two goals. All four of Techera’s MLS goals have come over the last 11 games, dating back to May 30.  “Good players play anywhere. He’s a terrific young player. I say he was the best player on the field for me. He really was,” said Robinson. “I’m disappointed that he didn’t get his hat trick, because he turned down an easy opportunity with his left foot. The he went onto his right foot, which shows he’s confident. But he was outstanding. I know he can play across any of the front three positions.”  Octavio Rivero scored his ninth goal of the season, his third consecutive goal from a converted penalty kick, all over the last seven matches.  Pa-Modou Kah made it two consecutive games with a goal, hitting for all three of his MLS career goals in that span. Kah has started three consecutive games after a two-match absence.  Back-to-back is all right, but my thing is defense and whenever we get a goal, it’s a fun thing and it’s a bonus,” said Kah. “To make it two in a row, I might have to do maybe with the shirts off there, selfies are on the jersey backs, so that might help. I hope that we can keep it for the rest of the season.”  On Wednesday, Whitecaps FC got one step to closer to their first major honor while in MLS, reaching a 2-2 draw with the Montréal Impact in the first leg of the Canadian Championship at Stade Saputo. Darren Mattocks (65) and Pedro Morales (72) gave Whitecaps FC a massive 2-0 road lead; Laurent Ciman (84) and Anthony Jackson-Hamel (85) scored a minute apart to leave the tie finely poised for the return match Aug. 26 at BC Place.  Here’s the Whitecaps FC team: Paolo Tornaghi; Tim Parker, Kendall Waston, Diego Rodriguez (Christian Dean 46), Jordan Harvey; Matías Laba (Gershon Koffie 68), Deybi Flores; Russell Teibert, Pedro Morales, Kianz Froese (Kekuta Manneh 88); Darren Mattocks

Sporting KC on Wednesday set a club record by extending its home unbeaten streak to 15 games across all competitions since March.

Sporting KC is currently riding an 11-game home unbeaten streak in MLS (7-0-4), breaking the club record of 10 set in 2008.

Sporting KC is one shy of its 200th home win across all competitions. The team is 199-98-70 all-time in Kansas City.

Peter Vermes on Wednesday became the winningest coach in Sporting KC history. His 109 wins across all competitions surpassed Bob Gansler, with whom he shares a club record 86 regular season wins (tied for eighth most in MLS history).

Benny Feilhaber is one shy of his 100th appearance for Sporting KC in all competitions. His 33 career assists for the club (all competitions) rank fifth in team history while his 22 regular season assists rank eighth.

Dom Dwyer ranks sixth in Sporting KC history with 40 goals across all competitions, one shy of tying Kei Kamara for fifth. Dwyer’s 31 regular season goals are tied for sixth in club history with Mo Johnston.

Sporting KC Game Notes | Aug. 15, 2015 vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES #SKCvVAN MATCH PREVIEW Sporting KC continues its stretch of five games in 15 days when they host the Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday for a pivital Western Conference clash at Sporting Park. First-place Vancouver (13-8-3, 42 points) comes to Kansas City boasting the league’s best road record (7-4-2), while fourth-place Sporting KC (10-4-7, 37 points) is riding a 15-game home unbeaten streak in all competitions, including a 7-0-4 mark in MLS play.

Peter Vermes’ side is five points behind Vancouver in the standings but leads MLS with 1.76 points per game. Midfielder has enjoyed an MVP-caliber season en route to MLS career highs in goals (8) and assists (12), while breakthrough goalkeeper Tim Melia has posted an 8-2-3 record with six league shutouts. Kansas City natives Matt Besler and Kevin Ellis have anchored a defense that has conceded a league-low 22 goals, while Krisztian Nemeth and Dom Dwyer have provided firepower in attack with 12 goals apiece in all competitions.

Led by second-year coach Carl Robinson, Vancouver owns a league-best 0.92 goals against average and has enjoyed success away from home. The Caps have allowed just nine goals in 13 road matches, where they have collected 25 of their 42 points. Forward Octavio Rivero leads the team with nine goals, while veteran Pedro Morales and explosive 20-year-old Kekuta Manneh have netted four apiece.

Defensively, holding midfielder Matias Laba leads MLS with 100 tackles won and centerback Kendall Waston ranks first in clearances and aerial duels won.

Both clubs took a detour from the MLS regular season grind with domestic cup matches on Wednesday. Sporting KC came from behind to defeat Real Salt Lake 3-1 in the U.S. Open Cup semifinals at Sporting Park, booking a spot in the Final on Sept.

30 at the Philadelphia Union. Whitecaps FC, meanwhile, surrendered a late 2-0 lead to settle for a 2-2 draw at the Montreal Impact in the first leg of the 2015 Canadian Championship Final. Vancouver will host the decisive second leg on Aug. 26.

FEILHABER ON FIRE Midfielder Benny Feilhaber is piecing together one of the best seasons in Sporting KC history. Following his one-goal, one-assist performance in Wednesday’s, U.S. Open Cup win over Real Salt Lake, Feilhaber moved to 10 goals and 17 assists in all competitions this year.

The 30-year-old World Cup veteran is one shy of tying Preki’s single-season assist record for the club in all competitions (18 in 2003) and becomes just the second player in club history — alongside Preki — to record 10 goals and 17 assists in a single season (all competitions). Preki accomplished the feat in 1997 and 2003. Feilhaber has contributed a goal or assist in six straight games across all competitions dating back to July 18.

Feilhaber 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 and competed in the 2015 AT&T MLS All-Star Game on July 29. He has bagged two MLS Goal of the Week Awards (Weeks 8 and 21) and earned Team of the Week honors on eight separate occasions from various media outlets (see page 4).

Dom Dwyer, Krisztian Nemeth and Benny Feilhaber have combined for 34 for the team’s 46 total goals in the MLS regular season and U.S. Open Cup

SPORTING KC PROGRESSES TO U.S. OPEN CUP FINAL Sporting KC advanced to the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final with a 3-1 come-from-behind victory over Real Salt Lake on Wednesday. Olmes Garcia and Soni Mustivar traded first-half goals at Sporting Park, setting up a dramatic final 10 minutes in which Benny Feilhaber and Krisztian Nemeth struck to send Sporting KC into the championship against the Philadelphia Union at PPL Park on Sept. 30.

Meeting for the fourth time this season, Sporting KC and Real Salt Lake renewed the burgeoning rivalry with a high-stakes showdown reminiscent of their match-up in MLS Cup 2013. In front of more than 16,000 fans, a record crowd for the semifinal round in the U.S. Open Cup’s modern era, Sporting KC rallied for the second straight game in the tournament.

Now in its 102nd edition, the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup was headlined by the largest field in the modern era (1995-present) with 89 teams in contention when the first round began in May. The 2015 champion will win $250,000 in prize money, while the runner-up receives $60,000. The tournament winner qualifies for the group stage of the 2016-17 CONCACAF Champions League.

The Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup has been held annually since 1914 and is open to all amateur/professional soccer teams affiliated with U.S. Soccer. It is the oldest ongoing national soccer competition in the U.S. and the world’s third-longest continuously running open soccer tournament. Sporting KC has twice lifted the Dewar Challenge Trophy as champions of the competition in 2004 and 2012.

VERMES MAKES HISTORY Sporting KC manager Peter Vermes surpassed Bob Gansler as the all-time winningest coach in club history with a 3-1 victory over Real Salt Lake in the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup semifinals Wednesday at Sporting Park. Vermes has 109 wins and 86 regular season victories and in all competitions since becoming head coach in August 2009.

Vermes’ 86 league wins are tied with his former coach for eighth most in MLS history. Gansler led KC to all three major domestic titles with Supporters Shield (2000), MLS Cup (2000) and U.S. Open Cup (2004) championships. Vermes has a 10972-57 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.

TOUGH TO BEAT

Sporting KC has been hard to beat during the first four months of the 2015 campaign. Their four losses are two fewer than any MLS team and the fewest through 21 games in team history. Sporting KC has had five losses through 20 games in each of the previous two seasons (10-5-6 in 2013 and 11-5-5 in 2014). The 2000 Kansas City Wizards, led by then-centerback Peter Vermes, started 11-5-5 en route to winning the club’s first Supporters’ Shield title and MLS Cup. RELEVANT ROOKIES Three of Sporting KC’s 2015 MLS SuperDraft selections — Saad Abdul-Salaam, Amadou Dia and Connor Hallisey — have contributed valuably to a campaign that sees the club in the 2015 U.S. Open Cup Final and atop MLS in points per game. The trio has combined for 38 regular season appearances and each player has featured in all four matches during Sporting KC’s Open Cup run.

HOT AT HOME A 3-1 win against Real Salt Lake in Wednesday’s U.S. Open Cup semifinals extended Sporting KC’s home unbeaten run to 15 games in all competitions dating back to March 8, breaking the previous club record which spanned two seasons from 2004-2005. In addition, Sporting KC’s 11-game home unbeaten streak in MLS (7-0-4) breaks the club record set in 2008.

The team’s 3-1 win over the Houston Dynamo on July 21 in the U.S. Open Cup was its ninth consecutive home victory since the beginning of May, setting a new club record. The result saw Peter Vermes’ men 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.

Sporting KC Game Notes | Aug. 15, 2015 vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES (CONTINUED) LAST MLS MATCH: SPORTING KC TRUMPS THE REDS IN TORONTO Sporting KC Manager Peter Vermes moved into a tie with Bob Gansler as the all-time winningest coach in club history with a 3-1 victory over Toronto FC last Saturday at BMO Field. Benny Feilhaber and Krisztian Nemeth tallied their team-leading eighth goals of the season, while Jacob Peterson struck against his former side for the second straight year as Sporting KC overcame the absences of Roger Espinoza, Dom Dwyer and Graham Zusi to remain unbeaten versus Eastern Conference opponents (6-0-2) in 2015.

Vermes earned the 86th regular season win and 108th victory across all competitions of his coaching career, equaling the club marks held by his former coach. Gansler served as manager of the U.S. MNT at the 1990 FIFA World Cup and later led KC to all three major domestic titles with Supporters Shield (2000), MLS Cup (2000) and U.S. Open Cup (2004) championships.

2015 MEDIA RECOGNITIONS

SCORING FROM SET PIECES Sporting KC has been one of the league’s most dangerous teams in set piece situations. The club leads MLS with 11 assists from set plays, 50 chances created from set plays and 11 headed goals.

On the flip side, the team has been liable to conceding set piece goals on the defensive end. Nine of Sporting KC’s 22 goals allowed in MLS competition have resulted from set piece situations.

ESPINOZA SIDELINED WITH FOOT INJURY Midfielder Roger Espinoza suffered a sesamoid fracture in his left foot during the team’s 1-1 draw against the Houston Dynamo on Aug. 1 and is expected to miss at least 10 weeks while recovering from the injury.

Espinoza has started 20 matches for Sporting KC across all competitions in 2015 after returning to the club following a two-year stint with Wigan Athletic in England.

A Honduran international, Espinoza has 46 career caps for Los Catrachos including appearances at the 2010/2014 FIFA World Cups and 2012 Summer Olympics.

Espinoza was drafted by Kansas City in the first round of the 2008 MLS SuperDraft and began a five-year run that culminated with MLS All-Star honors and a Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup championship in 2012.

He joined Wigan Athletic in January 2013, making his English Premier League debut that same month before scoring his first goal for the Latics in an EPL match against Swansea in May. On May 11, Espinoza started and played the full 90 minutes in Wigan’s historic 1-0 victory in the 2013 FA Cup final over Manchester City at Wembley Stadium.

After making 57 appearances for Wigan, Espinoza returned to Sporting KC prior to the 2015 season. The 28-year-old has made 150 appearances for the club across all competition with three goals and 17 assists.

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 15 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 he 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 205 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 165 of his 170 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.

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 40 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 62 goals in all competitions since the start of 2013—40 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 12 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 0.77 goals against average is second-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 13 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.

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. He led MLS with 91 successful crosses from open play (including playoffs) between 2011 and 2013 before missing most of 2014 through injury.

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 247 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 93 games (79 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 12 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 133 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. He made his Sporting KC debut in a 3-1 win at Toronto FC on Aug. 8, assisting a late goal to seal the result.

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.

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 16 goals and 15 assists in 216 regular season appearances over the course of his professional career. Now in his fourth season with Sporting KC, he has contributed nine goals and eight assists in 101 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 215 regular season appearances are second most on the team, behind only Paulo Nagamura (231).

Sporting KC signed 21-year-old midfielder Jordi Quintilla on Aug. 6, 2015. He becomes the youngest Spaniard currently in Major League Soccer.

Quintilla developed as a youth at UE Lleida before moving to FC Barcelona’s famed La Masia academy, where he trained alongside former Sporting KC midfielder Oriol Rosell. In 2012, he began his professional career as an 18-year-old with Barcelona B in Spain’s second division and later went on loan to CF Badalona and CE L’Hospitalet.

Most recently, Quintilla spent the 2014/15 season with AC Ajaccio in the French Ligue 2 and played in 20 games across all competitions for the club.

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 fifth 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.

A seventh-year veteran for Sporting KC, Graham Zusi has garnered MLS All-Star (20122015), MLS Best XI (2012-2013) and MLS Breakout Player of the Year (2011) honors in addition to receiving a 2012 MLS MVP nomination. The winger is the only MLS player with at least five goals and at least seven assists in each of the last four regular seasons.

He has earned Sporting KC MVP honors each of the last three years (twice a co-MVP) and has led the club in assists every year since 2011. 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. He is third in MLS with 386 chances created and second with 371 successful crosses/corners since 2011 (including playoffs). His 53 career assists in all competitions are third most in club history.

Zusi has earned 32 caps for the United States Men’s National Team since debuting in January 2012, recording three goals and six assists. He was on the U.S. roster for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, playing in all four matches at the tournament. In the group stage, he provided the game-winning assist in a 2-1 win over Ghana before adding another assist in a 2-2 draw with Portugal. He played in his first CONCACAF Gold Cup this summer, starting two matches as the U.S. finished in fourth place.

Sporting KC Coach Bios | Aug. 15, 2015 vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes Manager | Peter Vermes

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

Peter Vermes enters his seventh season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2015. He is the team’s second-longest serving head coach and his 109 victories in all competitions are the most 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 86 regular season wins are eighth most in MLS history. He tied his former coach Bob Gansler as the winningest manager in team history with a 3-1 win at Toronto FC on Aug. 8, equaling Gansler’s regular season (86) and overall (108) win totals).

Vermes oversees all soccer operations for Sporting KC, including the active roster and the Sporting KC Juniors program. Vermes, an original member of Major League Soccer, retired from the League in 2002, closing out his playing career in Kansas City after stints with the New York/New Jersey MetroStars and Colorado Rapids.

He started his professional career with the New York/New Jersey MetroStars, where he played in 39 games over two seasons. After spending one season with the Lehigh Valley Steam (USL-1), Zavagnin came to Kansas City in 2000. He played 237 games (228 starts) and logged 20,516 minutes for Kansas City, setting team records in both categories. He scored eight goals and added 22 assists in his nine seasons in Kansas City blue. Zavagnin was named Team Defender of the Year in 2001.

Following a standout high school career in which he was named New Jersey Player of the Year, Vermes was a star forward and All-American at Rutgers University. After college, Vermes represented the United States in the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea, and was named 1988 Chevrolet U.S. Male Soccer Athlete of the Year for his efforts.

On top of his club success in Kansas City, Zavagnin also appeared 21 times for the United States National Team. He recorded one assist for the Red, White and Blue.

The U.S. team went 15-2-4 when Zavagnin appeared. Zavagnin married his wife Mirriam prior to the 2009 season, when he became an assistant coach at the club.

Vermes was an integral part of a young U.S. team at the 1990 World Cup in Italy, where he nearly scored a sensational goal against the host Azzurri. It was the first time the U.S. had qualified for the World Cup in 40 years and set the stage for the progress of the U.S. National Team. In 1989 and 1990, Vermes became the first American to play in the Hungarian and Dutch First Divisions, playing for Raba ETO and FC Volendam, respectively. He later spent five years with Figueras of the Spanish Second Division.

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

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

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

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

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

Fitness Coach | Mateus Manoel

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

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

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

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

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

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

ABOUT WHITECAPS FC In 1974, Vancouver Whitecaps FC played their inaugural season in the North American Soccer League, and in 1979, the club won the NASL Soccer Bowl championship. Following the demise of the NASL in 1984, Vancouver 86ers were founded in 1986, and from 1987 to 1992, the club won four Canadian Soccer League titles. In 1993, Vancouver joined the North American second division after the disbandment of the CSL. In 2001, the club reverted back to the Whitecaps and the following season added FC to their official name, while creating a full club model that including an extensive youth development and grassroots participation programs, facility development, and community relations to support specific initiatives related to health and wellness through soccer.

Whitecaps FC were the 17th club admitted to MLS on March 18, 2009, and on March 19, 2011, Vancouver kicked off their inaugural year in MLS at Empire Field before moving into the renovated BC Place in downtown Vancouver. WFC have improved their point total every year since joining MLS: 2011 - 28 points (6W-18L-10D), 2012 – 43 points (11W13L-10D), 2013 – 48 points (13W-12L-9D), 2014 – 50 points (12W-8L-14D).
