SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs PORTLAND TIMBERS LIVESTRONG SPORTING PARK, Kansas City, Kan. 7:30 p.m. CT (KSMO; KPTV Fox 12) August 17, 2011 (WEEK 23; MLS Game 223) Sporting Kansas City return to league play looking to restart a long run of success when the Portland Timbers come to Livestrong Sporting Park on Wednesday evening. Sporting saw their 14-game unbeaten streak come to an end in their first loss in their new home, a 2-1 defeat by Seattle 11 days ago. The Timbers are completing a three-game road swing, coming off a 2-1 loss at Houston last Sunday.

The big French center back guiding a glancing header just inside the right post for the 2-0 lead.  The Timbers pulled a goal in stunning fashion just before halftime. Darlington Nagbe controlled a corner that had been punched out by Sporting goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen, juggled it twice with his right foot and then sent a looping volley inside the left-hand post.  PORTLAND TIMBERS (4-4-2): Troy Perkins - Steve Purdy, Mamadou Danso, Eric Brunner, Rodney Wallace Kalif Alhassan (Sal Zizzo 73), Jack Jewsbury, Diego Chara, Darlington Nagbe (James Marcelin 78) - Eddie Johnson (Kenny Cooper 67), Jorge Perlaza  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-3-2): Jimmy Nielsen - Chance Myers, Aurelien Collin, Matt Besler, Michael Harrington - Julio Cesar - Milos Stojcev (Kei Kamara 72), Graham Zusi, Roger Espinoza - C.J.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City return to league action after a weekend off, their last match a 2-1 loss to Seattle Sounders FC on Aug. 6 at Livestrong Sporting Park. Sporting have 30 points from 23 matches on the season, tied for fifth place in the Eastern Conference.

LAST MATCH  Sporting got the opener from another long throw by Matt Besler in the 20th minute, as he found Kei Kamara unmarked at the top of the box, where he beat Keller to the ball and flicked it into the empty net.

MLS GAME INFORMATION



Omar Bravo was shown a straight red card in the 59th minute, but the home side couldn't hang on. First, in the final minute on the clock, Mauro Rosales danced through the Sporting defense before cutting his shot inside the far post to tie the game.  Less than two minutes later, the Argentinean maestro played creator, carving up SKC’s back line and flicking through Mike Fucito to Lamar Neagle. His shot went back against the grain, pinged off the right post and into the goal.  Sporting manager Peter Vermes made two changes to the team that defeated Real Salt Lake 2-0 at Livestrong Sporting Park. Birahim Diop and C.J. Sapong came into the team, for Teal Bunbury and the suspended Roger Espinoza.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-2-1-3): Jimmy Nielsen - Michael Harrington, Julio Cesar, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic - Birahim Diop, Graham Zusi - Jeferson (Luke Sassano 39) - Kei Kamara (Chance Myers 82), C.J. Sapong (Teal Bunbury 65), Omar Bravo (sent off 59).

TEAM NEWS  The loss to Seattle was the first ever at Livestrong Sporting Park for SKC, and ended their club-record 14-game unbeaten streak.  “It’s been a good run,” Kei Kamara said. “We can be disappointed about the whole thing, but when it comes down to it, we just have to move on. We can’t change anything about it.”  Sporting’s last loss before the long unbeaten streak had come on a last-minute goal by Seattle for a 1-0 loss May 21. Along the way, SKC had kept the streak going with three equalizing goals in the 89th minute or later.  “For the most part I think we did a good job, similar to the last game when we were a man down over the last 30 minutes or so,” defender Michael Harrington said. “We did a good job staying compact. I feel like all the way until the last five or 10 minutes, guys were getting tired, we’re getting stretched out, their guys were starting to get too much service behind our backs and unfortunately they got two goals.”  For the second time this season, Matt Besler recorded an assist from a long throw-in on SKC’s goal vs. Seattle.

The first came in the first meeting with Portland. A Besler long throw has played a part in three Sporting goals this season.  “It’s a weapon for us,” Besler said. “We have a lot of targets. We’re finally getting the timing down. We worked on it a little bit in practice. It’s starting to show. Hopefully, we can get a few more goals from them.”  In the Seattle game, Sporting saw one injury hit when Luke Sassano suffered a sprained MCL in his right knee, which will put him out 4-6 weeks.  Then in a reserve match following the league game, recent acquisition Daneil Cyrus was lost for the remainder of the season with a broken metatarsal in his left foot.  “It’s not good.” SKC manager Peter Vermes said. “It sucks. It really does, especially for (Cyrus). After those guys, then we are really starting to dig deep. There are a couple guys that I have in mind that I’ve thought about. I would rather that one gets back and we’re flying from there.”  Matt Besler and Julio Cesar are expected to pair in central defense, with Aurelien Collin still sidelined with a spine fracture. While he still captains Jamaica’s national team, Shavar Thomas will provide cover – he has made three league appearances this season, all as a substitute, totaling 35 minutes.  “Every MLS team has things like this happen,” Besler said, “but that’s why the best teams emerge. It’s about who can handle all that stuff.”

PORTLAND TIMBERS The Portland Timbers saw their three-game unbeaten run come to an end, falling to a 2-1 defeat to the Houston Dynamo on Sunday evening at Robertson Stadium. The Timbers have 26 points from 23 games, sitting in seventh place in the Western Conference.

LAST MATCH  The Dynamo took the lead after 17 minutes. A Bobby Boswell shot off a corner was blocked and deflected out some 40 yards from goal -- where Adam Moffat hit a thunderous strike that beat Portland goalkeeper Troy Perkins into the upper right corner.  Houston then doubled their lead in the 27th minute, when Brad Davis slipped in Colin Clark, who nutmegged a defender for Brian Ching to finish from close range.  The Timbers pulled a goal back in the 56th minute when Sal Zizzo found Darlington Nagbe with a cross at the back post, and he headed back for Jack Jewsbury, whose thumping volley took a deflection on its way to the back of the net.  Timbers coach John Spencer made three changes to the team that reached a 1-1 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes at Buck Shaw Stadium. Jack Jewsbury, Diego Chara and Eddie Johnson came into the team, in place of James Marcelin, Jorge Perlaza and the suspended Jeremy Hall.  PORTLAND TIMBERS (4-4-2): Troy Perkins - Lovel Palmer, David Horst, Eric Brunner, Mike Chabala - Sal Zizzo, Jack Jewsbury, Diego Chara (James Marcelin 46), Darlington Nagbe (Kalif Alhassan 73) - Kenny Cooper, Eddie Johnson (Jorge Perlaza 40).

MLS GAME INFORMATION

TEAM NEWS  The Houston game was the second of a three-game road swing that concludes with the visit to Sporting Kansas City. Portland’s lone away win came July 16 at Chicago.  “In the second half, I don’t think I’d be too far away from saying that we had some great chances to possibly tie the game, if not win it. I think we were very unlucky to not come away with something (in Houston),” said Timbers head coach John Spencer.  Timbers captain Jack Jewsbury returned to the lineup after a two-match absence due to a hamstring strain and scored his single-season career-best seventh goal in the loss at Houston. Jewsbury scored 14 goals total in his first eight MLS seasons.  Jewsbury’s goal marked the first time this season the Timbers had scored goals in back-to-back road games.

They were coming off a 1-1 draw at San Jose.  “Overall, we thought we had a pretty good performance, and if we finish a few more chances on the offensive end, I think we at least get one and maybe even three points out of the game,” Jewsbury said.  Striker Eddie Johnson missed two games with a concussion before returning to the starting lineup for the Houston match. However, he suffered another concussion in a clash of heads and forced to leave the field before the end of the first half. He has been ruled out of the SKC game.  While Adam Moffat scored for Houston against his former club, the two players who went to Portland in the deal – defenders Mike Chabala and Lovel Palmer – were in the starting lineup together for a fourth consecutive match (a fifth start for Palmer). But Palmer will miss out on the SKC game through caution accumulation.  After missing a match to suspension, Diego Chara returned to the side, but played only the opening 45 minutes before he was removed in place of James Marcelin.  “I think for 60 minutes we took it to them, and I think they could agree with that too. I think as the game went on, it was going to open up,” said Chabala. “There was a stretch of about 15-20 minutes where we let those two goals in. You know you can’t rest with that team.”

HEAD COACH JOHN SPENCER After a standout 18-year professional playing career, Glasgow, Scotland, native John Spencer served as an assistant coach for the Houston Dynamo under head coach Dominic Kinnear for nearly five seasons (2006-2010). He helped lead the Dynamo to back-to-back MLS Cup championships in 2006 and 2007 and four consecutive playoff appearances. From 2006-08, Spencer also coached the Dynamo Reserves, guiding the Dynamo Reserves to the 2008 MLS Reserve Division championship. On Aug. 10, 2010, Spencer was named the first head coach in MLS Timbers history, and on April 14 of this season, Spencer earned his first win as an MLS head coach as the Timbers poured in four goals in a 4-2 win over the Chicago Fire.

As a player, Spencer played for such noted English clubs as Chelsea, Everton and Queens Park Rangers, and Scotland’s Glasgow Rangers. In MLS, Spencer starred for the Colorado Rapids from 2001-04, becoming the only player to be the team’s MVP and scoring leader in the same season more than once.

Spencer, 40, began his professional playing career in 1987 with Rangers. As a striker, he played for several top-flight clubs over 14 seasons in Scotland and England, most notably amassing 43 goals with English-power Chelsea (1992-96).

Spencer joined MLS and the Rapids in 2001 and was considered the team’s undeniable leader due to his skill and work ethic. During his time with Colorado, he played in 88 games and his 37 goals ranks among franchise career leaders. Spencer set the club’s single-season mark for goals (14) and career mark for assists (17), was a two-time MLS Best XI selection (2001, 2003) and was a finalist for the league’s MVP award in 2003.

The two-time MLS All-Star (2001, 2003) captained the Rapids to three straight playoff appearances from 2002-04. Spencer etched his name into Rapids history on Aug. 30, 2009, when he was inducted to the Rapids Gallery of Honor.

During his playing career, Spencer earned 14 caps with the Scotland National Team from 1994-97.

He earned his first cap for Scotland against Russia on November 16, 1994, in Glasgow. His favorite soccer memories include playing for Scotland against England at Wembley Stadium in the 1996 European Championship. He last appeared for Scotland on May 27, 1997, in a friendly against Wales.

TIMBERS FALL SHORT AS SPENCER, PALMER, CHABALA RETURN TO HOUSTON Timbers head coach John Spencer made his first return to Houston to face his former club Sunday.

Spencer was an assistant coach under Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear from 2006-10 before being named the Timbers’ first MLS head coach on Aug. 10, 2010. The Timbers’ Starting XI featured two former Dynamo players – defenders Lovel Palmer and Mike Chabala. Both were acquired by the Timbers in a trade on July 21 that sent midfielder Adam Moffat to Houston.

JEWSBURY RETURNS TO SPORTING KC Timbers midfielder and captain Jack Jewsbury makes his return to Kansas City Wednesday, where he spent the first eight years of his career. The Springfield, Mo., native totalled 14 goals and 20 assists in 195 games (142 starts) for the then-Kansas City Wizards from 2003-10 after being drafted out of nearby Saint Louis University in the fifth round of the 2003 MLS SuperDraft. In his first game against Sporting Kansas City, Jewsbury was issued one of his two yellow cards on the season in a 2-1 loss. Wednesday would be Jewsbury's second game back after missing two matches with a hamstring injury.

GOING GREEN In Sunday's loss to Houston, the Timbers wore their all-green kits (jerseys, shorts, socks) for just the fourth time this season. Portland remains winless (0-4-0) when wearing that uniform combination.

PORTLAND TIMBERS AT SPORTING KANSAS CITY WEDNESDAY, AUG. 17, 2011 FIRST-HALF GOALS LEAD DYNAMO OVER TIMBERS 2-1 Midfielder Adam Moffat and forward Brian Ching each scored first-half goals to lead the Houston Dynamo to a 2-1 victory over the Portland Timbers at Robertson Stadium on Sunday. Portland opened its two-game road swing with the loss, ending its threegame unbeaten streak. In the 17th minute, Moffat struck from distance against his former club to put the Dynamo a head 1-0. With momentum, Houston added to its lead in the 27th minute, when a quick series of passes between midfielders Brad Davis and Colin Clark set up Ching for a goal from close range for a two-goal lead entering the break. Midfielder Jack Jewsbury scored his team-leading seventh goal of the season and Portland’s efforts to equalize late in the match fell just short. The game’s first goal came in the 17th minute, when the Timbers broke up a corner kick play by the Dynamo and the ball was cleared up field. That loose ball fell onto the path of Moffat, who was acquired in a trade from Portland in late July. He then lined up a shot from 35 yards out and deflected inside the top right corner of the goal, beating Perkins’ diving attempt and the Dynamo took a 1-0 lead. Ten minutes later, Ching was the recipient of a threaded pass from Davis inside the top left corner of the box and he one-timed a curling shot around Perkins as the goalkeeper charged off his line. Jewsbury cut the deficit in half with his goal in the 56th minute. The play started with Sal Zizzo down the right side and he delivered a cross over the box to Darlington Nagbe on the back post. Nagbe headed a back pass out Jewsbury near the top of the box and Jewsbury sent a bouncing shot by Hall into the right side of the goal.

JACK OF ALL TRADES Midfielder Jack Jewsbury scored in his return from injury against Houston on Sunday to extend his club lead to seven goals and 20 points. Sixth in the league in points, Jewsbury has already set career highs in goals and points and has six assists, one shy of matching a career mark. Jewsbury started the first 20 games of the season before missing the Aug. 3 win over LA and Aug. 6 draw with San Jose with a hamstring strain. He needs either a goal or assist in the next four games to extend his streak of months with at least three points to five.

ZIZZO LOGS ANOTHER HELPER Midfielder Sal Zizzo's charge down the right flank and subsequent cross to Darlington Nagbe helped set up Jack Jewsbury's 56th-minute goal in Portland's 2-1 loss to Houston on Sunday. Zizzo has logged assists in three of the last four games after recording none in his first 17 games this season. Zizzo has started and played all but one minute in the last four games; he made 15 of his first 17 appearances as a sub.

A PLACE TO CALL HOME After spending the first three weeks of their inaugural MLS campaign on the road, the final stages of renovation work at JELD-WEN Field were completed in time for the Timbers to debut their impressively refurbished home on a national stage. The Timbers, in front of sold-out crowds of 18,627, scored seven goals on their way to opening up the stadium with a pair of wins over the Chicago Fire and FC Dallas in mid-April. JELD-WEN Field underwent a $40 million renovation that transformed the already iconic downtown Portland venue into one of the most unique and intimate soccer venues in North America. JELD-WEN Field improvements include the addition of an entirely new eastside seating section that will house the new KeyBank Club and premium club seats, the Widmer Brothers Southern Front deck behind the south goal that will provide unique vantage points ideal for casual group seating, a new, state-ofthe-art video board that features the latest in high-definition technology for an enhanced fan experience and a new FieldTurf playing surface well-suited for the variety of sporting and community events that will be featured each year at JELD-WEN Field. Phase I of construction, which included foundation work for the new eastside seats, began in early 2010, while renovation on a larger scale began on Sept. 7, 2010, as demolition commenced following the Division-2 Timbers’ home schedule. JELD-WEN Field, located in the heart of the city, was originally constructed in 1926 and has undergone a number of transformations over the years, none more substantial than the current renovation. The stadium has housed some of the most memorable events in its 85-year life, including presidential visits, an Elvis Presley performance in 1957, Pele’s last official game as a professional and the 2003 Women’s World Cup. It was home to the NASL Timbers from 1975-82 and most recently served as the home grounds for the USL Timbers from 2001-10.

TIMBERS TAKING BUSY WEEKS IN STRIDE After a win over LA and draw with San Jose last week, the Timbers remain unbeaten during weeks in which they have two games*. Portland is 3-0-1 in such games, including wins over Chicago and FC Dallas on April 14 and 17. The Timbers, in the midst of five games in 14 days, have Wednesday/Saturday schedules of Aug. 17 at Sporting KC/Aug. 20 vs. Vancouver, and Aug. 24 vs. Chivas USA/Aug. 27 at D.C. United ahead. *Note: weeks are considered to run from Monday to Sunday.

TIMBERS NET ANOTHER EARLY SECOND-HALF GOAL With a goal in the 56th minute Sunday, the Timbers scored their eighth goal of the season during the first 15 minutes of a second half (minutes 46-60), their highest scoring interval. The previous seven goals in that timeframe all occurred at home.

SEVEN KEYS TO VICTORY The Timbers have seven players who have appeared in all seven of the team's MLS victories this season: defender Rodney Wallace, midfielders Kalif Alhassan, James Marcelin, Darlington Nagbe and Sal Zizzo and forwards Kenny Cooper and Jorge Perlaza.

JOHNSON LEAVES MATCH WITH INJURY Forward Eddie Johnson made his return to the Portland starting lineup Sunday after missing the previous two games due to a concussion on Aug. 3. He left Sunday's match in the 40th minute after being knocked to the ground during play. Johnson then was transported to a local hospital at halftime for observation for a possible concussion. He returned to Portland Monday.

PALMER TO MISS SPORTING KC MATCH DUE TO CAUTION ACCUMULATION Defender Lovel Palmer was booked with a caution in the second half Sunday and, as a result, will serve a one-game, league-imposed suspension for caution accumulation Wednesday as the Timbers take on Sporting KC. This match marks the Timbers' third consecutive in which a player will be ineligible following suspension as midfielder Diego Chara missed the Aug. 6 match due to caution accumulation and defender Jeremy Hall missed Sunday's game at Houston due to a red card on Aug. 6. Going back to July 23 at Columbus, when Jeremy Hall was suspended for caution accumulation, the Timbers have not had a fully eligible squad for four straight road games.

ROAD GOALS For the first time this season, the Timbers scored in consecutive road games when Jack Jewsbury tallied against Houston on Sunday. Portland's first five road goals this season were followed by streaks of 138, 207, 230, 178 and 123 road minutes without scoring.

FIRST ONE'S THE CHARM The Timbers are 7-1-2 when scoring first and 0-10-3 when conceding the first goal of a match. Portland's last five wins have been shutouts after recording their first two victories in high-scoring affairs back in April.

SETTLING IT ON THE FIELD The Timbers (7-11-5, 26pts) enter the week just four points back of the 10th and final playoff position, currently held by Sporting KC (7-7-9, 30pts). The Timbers will face each of the three teams they are chasing for a postseason berth – Sporting KC, Chivas USA and D.C. United – during the final two weeks of August.

SCOUTING SPORTING KC After beginning the season by going 1-6-3 on a season-opening, 10-game road trip, Sporting Kansas City has pushed for a playoff spot by going 4-1-4 since June 9 at the newly-opened LIVESTRONG Sporting Park. Sporting KC, which suffered its first home loss and saw its 14-match unbeaten streak snapped in a 2-1 loss to Seattle Sounders FC on Aug. 6, defeated Portland 2-1 on July 2 at JELD-WEN Field following goals by rookie forward C.J. Sapong and defender Aurélien Collin. Currently sitting in fifth place in the Eastern Conference standings, Sporting KC has received strong performances from a deep group of forwards, including Kei Kamara (6 goals), Omar Bravo (6 goals), Teal Bunbury (5 goals) and Sapong (3 goals). Starting the week tied for the final MLS Cup playoff spot, Peter Vermes' club is in the midst of two consecutive months at home (July 17-Sept. 16) and closes the season with eight of its final 11 games at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park.

PORTLAND TIMBERS AT SPORTING KANSAS CITY WEDNESDAY, AUG. 17, 2011 JEWSBURY NAMED AUGUST MLS HUMANITARIAN OF THE MONTH Timbers midfielder and captain Jack Jewsbury has been awarded the MLS W.O.R.K.S. Humanitarian of the Month for August. Jewsbury was recognized for his contributions towards tornado relief efforts in his hometown of Joplin, Mo., this spring. Following the devastating tornado that hit Joplin on May 22, Jewsbury and the Timbers partnered with the American Red Cross to spearhead fundraising efforts, asking fans to donate money through a mobile text-in campaign and make in-stadium donations at JELD-WEN Field during the club’s match against D.C. United on May 29 to go towards disaster relief. The twister that struck Joplin killed more than 100 people, making it the nation’s deadliest tornado in 60 years. In his ninth MLS season, Jewsbury was born in Joplin and spent the early part of his life there before his family moved to nearby Springfield, Mo. Jewsbury’s uncle still lives in Joplin and lost his truck-accessories business in the storm, in addition to a number of other family members who were affected. Utilizing their “Stand Together” community outreach platforms, the Timbers and their fans helped raise over $11,000 for the American Red Cross’s disaster relief efforts. Jewsbury, 30, earned his first MLS All-Star selection in July, being named to the MLS All-Star First XI as one of the leading vote-getters at his position. Leading up to the 2011 AT&T MLS All-Star Game in Harrison, N.J., Jewsbury was one of several MLS All-Stars to lend time and energy to the MLS W.O.R.K.S. Community Build at Highbridge Pool and Recreation Center’s “Splash House Pavillion” in New York’s Washington Heights.

FANS GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO CUSTOMIZE THE CAPTAIN'S ARMBAND Through a special contest, the Timbers asked fans to help design a Timbers-branded captain’s armband that will be worn by captain Jack Jewsbury for the remainder of the 2011 season. Fans submitted designs that will be worn with the primary (green) kit or the secondary (“Rose City” red) kit using the guidance of a downloadable template. Jewsbury and the Timbers soccer staff will select the two winning designs.

The Timbers will announce the winner at an upcoming game.

TIMBERS HOST TIMBERS ARMY BARBECUE The Portland Timbers hosted their annual barbecue for the Timbers Army last week.

The players were all in attendance, signing autographs and mingling with the fans, who enjoyed food and beverage and access to the pitch at JELD-WEN Field.

EUGENE, ORE., FAMILY BIKES 114 MILES TO WATCH TIMBERS PLAY TORONTO FC Eugene-based web developer Paul Adkins, his wife and four kids took to the road last month in order to watch the Timbers play Toronto FC July 30. The Adkins family doesn’t own a vehicle, or a TV, but once they discovered the Timbers online and watched a few games the kids insisted on going to Portland to watch the team play.

After camping and being helped out by other cyclists on their journey, the family arrived in time for the match and returned home happy via Amtrak.

TIMBERS U-23s LAND TWO ON PDL'S ALL-WESTERN CONFERENCE TEAM The Portland Timbers’ development team, the Timbers U-23s, landed two players – defender Ryan Kawulok and forward Brent Richards – on the Premier Development League’s 2011 All-Western Conference Team. Kawulok and Richards each earned PDL all-conference honors for a second straight season. The PDL’s four all-conference teams were selected through a vote of team management.

U.S. WOMEN'S NATIONAL TEAM VISITS JELD-WEN FIELD The U.S. Women's National Soccer Team will return to the field for the first time since the conclusion of the 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup when it faces Canada during friendly matches in September, including a matchup at JELD-WEN Field in Portland, Ore., on Thursday, Sept. 22, at 8 p.m. (PT) on ESPN2 and ESPN3.com.
