Sporting KC Game Notes | September 24, 2017 vs. LA Galaxy | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes CHAMPIONS, ONCE AGAIN

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES In the second half, it was playmaker Benny Feilhaber whose searching through ball sent Salloi free behind the Red Bulls’ backline, baiting goalkeeper Ryan Meara off his line which allowed Salloi the simple task of poking the ball beyond the New York goalkeeper for what was ultimately the game-winning goal.

Sporting Kansas City lifted their fourth piece of silverware this decade when the club won the 2017 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup on Wednesday night. Sporting KC beat the New York Red Bulls 2-1 at Children’s Mercy Park in the midweek contest to hoist the club’s fourth all-time U.S. Open Cup trophy (2004, 2012, 2015, 2017).

Zusi, 31, is comfortably in second place in club history for assists with 68 assists, trailing club legend Preki’s mark of 104. Feilhaber’s assist added to his lead over Chris Klein in third place in club history, as he now has 56 assists in all competitions - two more than Klein in fourth.

Sporting KC become the first MLS team to win four major trophies over the last six seasons with their win on Wednesday night. The club also maintained their brilliant record in Open Cup finals, joining Seattle Sounders FC and Chicago Fire as the only four-time champions among MLS outfits. In addition, Manager Peter Vermes is now just the second coach to win three or more U.S. Open Cups to go along with an MLS Cup joined by LA Galaxy head coach Sigi Schmid.

HISTORIC HOME UNBEATEN STREAK REACHES 23

Sporting Kansas City extended the club’s franchise-record home unbeaten streak to 23 games following the 3-1 victory over the New England Revolution at Children’s Mercy Park last Saturday. Gerso equalized after Teal Bunbury had given the visitors the lead in the fourth minute, before a Diego Rubio brace sealed all three points and saw Sporting KC move to 9-0-5 at home on the season.

Sporting KC saw off five MLS teams on their way to the Final: Minnesota United FC, the Houston Dynamo, FC Dallas, the San Jose Earthquakes and the Red Bulls. New York experienced a similarly difficult run, facing four MLS teams and also ousting USL Cinderella outfit FC Cincinnati in the Semifinals - despite finding themselves two goals down early in the match. Sporting KC are now third among all MLS clubs in major trophies with seven, having won four U.S. Open Cups (2004, 2012, 2015, 2017), two MLS Cups (2000, 2013) and one Supporters’ Shield (2000). That places the club in rarefied company, as only D.C. United (13) and Sunday’s opponents the LA Galaxy (12) have won more since MLS was founded in 1996.

Sporting KC’s 23-game home unbeaten streak in MLS action is the longest active streak in MLS and stretches all the way back to last summer. Sporting KC most recently tasted defeat in the regular season at Children’s Mercy Park when the side fell 1-0 to D.C. United on May 27, 2016. Since then, Sporting KC has gone 16-0-7 in regular-season play at Children’s Mercy Park, and is 20-1-8 in all competitions in that time. The lone setback in the last 16 months came over a year ago in a 2-1 defeat to Vancouver Whitecaps FC in the CONCACAF Champions League group stage on Sept. 13, 2016.

While Sporting KC experienced euphoria on Wednesday, it was another heartbreaker for the Red Bulls, who have still never won the U.S. Open Cup or an MLS Cup and made just their first appearance in the Final since 2003. Sporting KC now receives $250,000 in prize money and a berth in the 2019 Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League, the premier club competition in North America.

The club’s 23-game home unbeaten streak is the longest in club history and is now tied for the third longest in MLS history. The Houston Dynamo hold the current record for the longest home unbeaten streak, having gone 30 home games without a loss from July 9, 2011 through April 28, 2013 - a streak that was shattered by Sporting KC with a 1-0 win on May 12, 2013.

YOUNGSTERS STEP UP

Sporting KC has now gone 5-2-7 in MLS play since the start of June and 4-0-1 in the U.S. Open Cup as the side hoisted the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup trophy on Wednesday night. Sporting KC’s record in all competitions since the start of June now stands at 9-2-8. Following Toronto FC’s 5-3 home defeat to Montreal on Wednesday night, Sporting KC is the only remaining team in MLS yet to lose a game at home in 2017.

Sporting Kansas City relied on the club’s younger players to guide them to the promised land on Wednesday, as 20-year-old Latif Blessing and 21-year-old Homegrown Player Daniel Salloi scored the two goals as Sporting KC topped the New York Red Bulls 2-1 in the 2017 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final. Midway through the first half, Blessing - the shortest player on the field - rose to meet Graham Zusi’s cross from the right wing and plant a header beyond Ryan Meara in the New York goal, giving his side the lead. Blessing would only last 43 minutes as a thigh injury forced him to be replaced by Salloi moments before the halftime interval.

IMMOVABLE FORCE

Sporting Kansas City’s league-best goalkeeper Tim Melia and his league-best backline continue to be on pace for the best defensive season in club history, and the second best defensive campaign in Major League Soccer’s 22-year history. Melia has been an ever-present in 2017, playing every minute behind a rotating backline of Matt Besler, Ike Opara, Graham Zusi, Seth Sinovic, Erik Palmer-Brown, Kevin Ellis, Saad Abdul-Salaam, and Jimmy Medranda.

Salloi proved to be an adept replacement for Blessing on the left wing as the Hungarian forward - playing his first Sporting KC match in front of his parents who were in town from Hungary - nipped in front of Meara to reach Benny Feilhaber’s through ball from the left side of midfield and prod the ball into the back of an empty net in the 66th minute, doubling his side’s lead with what proved to be the game-winner after Bradley WrightPhillips’ late consolation goal.

Sporting KC has conceded just 22 goals in 28 games - a goals against average of 0.79 - which has only been bettered by the 2010 Real Salt Lake side, who conceded 20 goals in a 30-game season for a goals against average of 0.67. Sporting KC’s record in its previous 21 years of existance was also 0.79 - posted in 2012 when Sporting KC finished atop of the Eastern Conference but fell in the Conference Semifinals in the postseason, though the side did raise the U.S. Open Cup that year - the club’s first silverware since 2004.

Blessing’s and Salloi’s goals in the final were their third each in this season’s U.S. Open Cup campaign, placing the pair in a tie for the team-lead in that category. Blessing now has six goals and one assist in all competitions in his first season with Sporting KC, while Academy product Salloi has five goals in just eight starts since making his debut for the club in April.

Remarkably, Sporting KC is yet to concede more than two goals in a match this season. Of the 22 goals conceded, eight have come as Sporting KC conceded twice in a win over the Chicago Fire (July 29), a draw with Orlando City SC (May13) and losses to Minnesota United FC (May 7) and Vancouver Whitecaps FC (May 20). The remaining 14 goals conceded have all arrived in single-goal games for Sporting KC’s opposition.

Seventeen of Sporting KC’s 47 goals scored in all competitions this season have now been scored by players 24 years of age or younger - or 36.2 percent. Blessing (20) leads that group with six, while fellow forwards Diego Rubio (24) and Salloi (21) have five and Jimmy Medranda (23) has one. That percentage does not include leading scorer Gerso who has 10 goals but is 26 years old.

Sporting KC is the only team in the league yet to concede three or more goals in a match. The club’s closest defensive challenger in 2017, Toronto FC, have conceded three goals three this season (June 3, 0-3 at NE ... July 1, 1-3 at FCD ... Sept. 20, 3-5 vs. MTL) as part of their 31 goals allowed in 30 games.

EXPERIENCE PREVAILS IN FINAL

While it was youngsters Latif Blessing and Daniel Salloi who scored the goals that won Sporting Kansas City the 2017 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final on Wednesday night, both goals were served on a platter by two of the most experienced creative players on the team and in all of Major League Soccer.

Should Sporting KC complete the 2017 regular season without conceding three or more goals in a single match, Peter Vermes’ side would become just the fourth team in league history to perform that feat, and the first since 2010. The only teams to also go through an entire season without conceding three or more in a game are the 2003 LA Galaxy (1.12 GAA), 2010 FC Dallas (0.93 GAA) and 2010 Real Salt Lake (0.67 GAA).

Graham Zusi showed his quality in the first half when he sent in a superb first-time cross that found a 5-foot-3 Blessing in the center of the penalty area to thunder home his header and open the scoring. The assist was Zusi’s team-leading eighth on the season in all competitions, having set up six in MLS play and two in the successful U.S. Open Cup run.

Sporting KC Game Notes | September 24, 2017 vs. LA Galaxy | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

LINDSEY NAMED TO U.S. U-17 WORLD CUP ROSTER

VERMES VERBATIM

Sporting Kansas City defender Jaylin Lindsey - who will officially be added to the club’s roster as a Homegrown Player on January 1, 2018 - was officially named to the United States Under-17 National Team’s 21-player roster for the 2017 FIFA Under-17 World Cup to be held from October 6-28 in India. The U.S. U-17s will depart for Dubai on Sunday for a training camp ahead of the tournament, with all players joining up in Bradenton, Florida prior to arrival in India.

Below are Manager Peter Vermes’ remarks on Sporting KC’s 2-1 victory over the New York Red Bulls in the U.S. Open Cup Final at Children’s Mercy Park on Wednesday, Sept. 20. On how things shaped up tonight with the second goal… “Well the first thing I’ll tell you is that New York’s a good team. We knew this was going to be a very, very difficult match in that they were going to come and throw everything forward. One of the things that people talked about was that they got some young guys on their team. I mean, so do we, but one of the things about young guys is that sometimes you have no fear. And so they were coming quite a bit in the game. Where I thought we were really good in the first half is exactly what we wanted to do, figuring that they would come as much as they did and send as many numbers forward that we were going to get counters on them. And we did. We had a couple different breakaways, I mean Gerso could have scored a hat trick in the first half. It’s a shame that we didn’t put more away and give ourselves a cushion. To get the goal, great goal, beautiful cross, excellent run by Latif [Blessing]. I feel bad for him and Gerso coming off because of injuries, even [Diego] Rubio. But, look, all those guys punched the clock tonight. Everybody put everything in they had. And then for us to come out in the second half and understand that we’re going to have to defend at times and be courageous in those moments… we were, and finally Daniel [Salloi] getting a second goal by making a great run. Another good ball inside. Again, we talked about being able to get behind them because of the way that they are a little bit overzealous going forward. And a great little touch… really happy for him because he’s done really well in this tournament. I think it was a matter of time that he was going to get in the game, it was just a matter of when, but scores a great goal and obviously history. You know, third win in my time period, fourth one for the club, it’s big time.”

Lindsey and the U.S. U-17s have been drawn into Group A alongside Colombia, Ghana and hosts India. The side begins group stage action against India on October 6 at 9:30 a.m. CT, followed by matches against Ghana on October 9 at 6:30 a.m. and Colombia on October 12 at 9:30 a.m. The first two matches will be played at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi, while the final group game will be played at Dr. DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. Lindsey has played more than 25 matches for the U.S. U-17s dating back to late 2015. He was named to the 2017 CONCACAF U-17 Championship Best XI in May after helping the U.S. to a second-place finish, starting five matches along the backline and tallying one assist. Since July, Lindsey has joined the U.S. U-17s for three training camps as well as the International Youth Tournament of Vaclav Jezek in Czech Republic last month, where he played three games and helped the Americans take third place. A product of the Sporting KC Academy, Lindsey became the third-youngest signing in club history on Thursday, Sept. 14 when he inked a Homegrown deal, becoming the club’s sixth Homegrown Player. Born and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina, Lindsey joined the Sporting KC Academy in January 2015. He has made more than 30 combined appearances for the U-16s and U-18s, most recently competing for both teams at the 2016-17 U.S. Soccer Development Academy Playoffs this summer.

On whether or not he expected Tim Melia to be this good… “From a shot-stopping and…those types of things, yes. Where he’s become really good is with his feet and in our model of play, the way that we want to play. He was excellent, he was very good.”

BESLER AND SINOVIC RENEW PARTNERSHIP

After helping Sporting KC record nine shutouts in the opening 20 games on the left side of the defense to open the 2017 MLS season, center back Matt Besler and left back Seth Sinovic have now posted 47 total shutouts in just 127 games where both have started in the regular season. Besler and Sinovic have started 22 of the club’s 28 regular-season games together this season, posting nine of the side’s 10 shutouts.

On how the younger players on the team responded to the environment… “Yeah, I mean, you guys need to take note. Obviously not only did Jimmy Medranda come in, you had [Daniel] Salloi, Ilie, Kevin [Oliveira] who we just signed last week. So, when you look at those things, it’s a real credit to the structure that we put in place here and being able to bring those guys along. Our B Team, the Swope Park Rangers, the coaching staff has done a great job in preparing those guys for the first team. So, to see those guys come on to the field and help us secure a championship is an incredible confidence builder for those guys. Because the other piece is that our older players are doing the mentoring that they need to do to bring those guys along for them to understand that this club truly is about winning. It’s not just talk. So now that they’ve had this experience, that’s a big thing to look forward to for the future.”

Since Sinovic made his first appearance for the team on May 28, 2011 after being waived by the New England Revolution earlier in the year, Sporting KC leads all of MLS with 78 shutouts - 11 more than Seattle Sounders FC in second. Besler and Sinovic have started 127 of the 224 games since the trade, posting 47 of the club’s 78 shutouts alongside one another. Individually, Besler leads the league in shutouts since Sinovic joined the club with 64, while Sinovic is third with 56. Prior to the 1-1 draw with Montreal on Saturday, June 10 where Besler was with the U.S. National Team in Mexico, Besler and Sinovic had started each of Sporting KC’s previous 17 regular-season games, conceding just 10 goals - a rate of 0.59 per game.

On winning the cup with the Lamar Hunt name on it… “Obviously Lamar was the first owner here in Kansas City. I had the pleasure of playing for him. Great man and an incredible supporter of the game and this league, one of the founders. So the fact that we bring that home has a special place in our club, based on having his name on there, no doubt. You also have to understand, too, that as an organization, this is a very, very valued championship to us because of the nature that all the different levels can play in this tournament. It’s pretty unique in sports. If I remember correctly, ninety-nine teams started out in this tournament. So for us to hoist a trophy at the end of the knockout stage, it’s pretty impressive by this group. And to have done it for a third time now, in our new ownership’s tenor, it’s pretty special.”

PLAYOFF STREAK

Sporting KC is looking to become the sixth club in MLS history to make at least seven straight trips to the postseason, while Manager Peter Vermes would be just the fourth coach to lead the same team to seven straight playoff appearances.
