The Rapids remain at home riding a two-game winning streak, now five points out of the final playoff position following their 2-1 win against the Houston Dynamo at midweek.

The teams are meeting for the second time this season. Krisztian Nemeth and an own goal led Sporting to a 2-0 victory, June 27 at Sporting Park.

Sporting have not lost to the Rapids since a 2-1 Colorado win March 28, 2009 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park, including a 3-2 win last March 29 in Commerce City in the last meeting there. Since then, KC is 4-0-5 vs. Colorado.

The Rapids haven’t won in Kansas City since 2002, a 2-1 win at Arrowhead Stadium. Since, Kansas City is 9-0-4 at home vs. Colorado.

Sporting hit for the opener in the 32nd minute. Right back Chance Myers got down the line on the overlap and sent in a low cross for Krisztian Nemeth, who drove the ball past a sprawling Clint Irwin and just inside the post.

The lead was doubled in the 64th minute. Benny Feilhaber sent in a long cross from the right flank from a short corner, but as the ball bobbled around near the goal, it went off Rapids midfielder Sam Cronin and past Irwin for an own goal.

COLORADO RAPIDS The Colorado Rapids won their second game on the trot, getting a late winner for a 2-1 win against the Houston Dynamo on Wednesday evening at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. The Rapids are in 10th place in the Western Conference with 30 points from 25 matches. LAST MATCH

The Rapids took the lead in the 20th minute. Dynamo defender Alex was ruled to have handled the ball on a challenge on Vicente Sanchez, and referee Drew Fischer pointed to the spot. Sanchez buried his own penalty kick to the right of goalkeeper Tyler Deric.


The equalizer came in the 35th minute as the Rapids returned the favor when a handball was called on Bobby Burling in the Colorado penalty area. Brad Davis struck the resulting spot kick right down the middle to level the score.

The game-winner came 10 minutes from the end. Sean St. Ledger was able to get to a Dillon Serna ball just before it crossed the endline and pulled back a pass into the goalmouth, where Kevin Doyle leaped over a defender to head the ball home.

Rapids head coach Pablo Mastroeni made two changes to the team that defeated the Chicago Fire 1-0 at Toyota Park. Sam Cronin and Vicente Sanchez came back into the team, replacing Nick LaBrocca and Dillon Powers.

COLORADO RAPIDS (4-2-3-1): Clint Irwin - Drew Moor, Bobby Burling, Sean St. Ledger, Maynor Figueroa - Sam Cronin, Marcelo Sarvas - Vicente Sanchez (Juan Ramirez 65), Dillon Serna, Gabriel Torres (Dillon Powers 57) - Kevin Doyle.

TEAM NEWS The Rapids won their second game in a row following a three-game losing run, which came after a three-game

winning streak, their longest of the season. “Coming off of the win in Chicago, there was a lot of patience in that game. It was a well-balanced game. I felt

like we were in control from the beginning to the end. We created a lot of great opportunities to score and they defended well in that tight spot,” said Rapids head coach Pablo Mastroeni. “The overall performance was really impressive and dictated by the guys on the field. It’s taken us a long time to get to this point, but I am really proud of their effort and their commitment to the game plan and execution.”

Said Kevin Doyle: “It’s now or never. We’ve always been one or two games away from being just on the edge of it with a game at hand. We’ve always believed it, but it’s just a difference of believing it and doing it. We need to win a lot more games from now to the end of the season to have a chance to finish respectfully.”

Said Sean St. Ledger: “When you win an away game you have to build on that to gain confidence. I feel like [that] was a huge result for us. We’ve earned six points in a matter of a few days, and we’re going into Saturday against Sporting Kansas City full of confidence and looking to get nine points. It’s been a great effort so far, but we need to finish now.”

Vicente Sanchez scored his second goal of the season, his first since July 4. Sanchez returned to the starting lineup after a one-match absence, his seventh start in the last eight matches.

“He brings an element of attack that no one else does, and that very few in the league do. He has an ability to drop the team back, run at them and create space for his teammates. I think in the first half he did a tremendous job. He’s a very dynamic player,” Mastroeni said.

The Sanchez goal was the first from the penalty spot for the Rapids this season. They had won one previous penalty, Dillon Powers shooting wide vs. Real Salt Lake on June 7.

Kevin Doyle scored his third goal since joining the Rapids, his first since July 18. He has three goals and an assist in MLS, all over the last eight matches, since moving into the starting lineup as the spearhead in the attack uninterrupted.

Sean St. Ledger collected his first MLS assist, making a third consecutive start in central defense, following his arrival from Orlando City SC.

“That’s not one you chalk up. The game is won by the players on the field and that was an example of that. He felt it in the moment, and is experienced enough to understand that it was a good opportunity. The touch he had was tremendous. He is a guy that has really helped this team out since he has come on board,” Mastroeni said.

Said Doyle: “We’ve played a lot of games together over the years. He has settled really well since he has been here. He’s only been here a few weeks and it seems like he has been here all season. He’s been in the league so he knows how everything is. The lads have played against him so they respect him – it’s been an easy transition for him here.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City lost a second consecutive game for the first time this season, falling 3-2 to Columbus Crew SC on Saturday evening at Mapfre Stadium. Sporting are in a tie for third place in the Western Conference with 40 points from 24 matches. LAST MATCH

Sporting opened scoring in the 14th minute. Dom Dwyer headed a ball into the path of Saad Abdul-Salaam, who had a clear path to the touchline and slid a ball behind the Crew SC defense, giving Marcel de Jong a wide open goal for an easy finish.

But Crew SC pulled level in the 35th minute. On a counterattack, fullback Harrison Afful made a darting run down the right side and pulled back a cross for Federico Higuain, who smashed a shot off the crossbar. Kei Kamara skied to collect the rebound, turned and rocketed a pass across goal, finding the chest of Ethan Finlay, who directed the ball into the open net.


But Sporting pulled back in front in the 62nd minute. From a Crew SC corner kick, SKC defender Matt Besler pinged a long ball wide to Graham Zusi, who cut into the Crew SC box and curled a beautiful finish past the outstretched arm of Steve Clark.

Yet the home side had another answer. A free kick from Higuain glanced off the head of Tyson Wahl and directly to Tony Tchani, who calmly finished to bring the match to 2-2 in the 80th minute.

The winner came with two minutes to play. Higuain again creating the crucial chance, volleying a ball in the Kansas City box that goalkeeper Tim Melia saved. But Jack McInerney was there for the rebound, tapping the ball into the back of the net to seal the three points.

SKC manager Peter Vermes made five changes to the team that fell 5-0 to the San Jose Earthquakes at Sporting Park. Saad Abdul-Salaam and Jimmy Medranda came into the back four for Chance Myers and Amadou Dia, Graham Zusi and Mikey Lopez started in midfield for Amobi Okugo and the suspended Benny Feilhaber, and Marcel de Jong came in out wide in place of Krisztian Nemeth.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Tim Melia - Saad Abdul-Salaam, Kevin Ellis, Matt Besler, Jimmy Medranda (Amadou Dia 57) - Paulo Nagamura - Graham Zusi, Mikey Lopez - Jacob Peterson (Chance Myers 78), Dom Dwyer, Marcel de Jong (Krisztian Nemeth 90).

TEAM NEWS Sporting have lost back-to-back games for the first time this season with the defeat at Columbus. Their longest

winless streak of the year is three games, set twice previously. “We've played a lot of games in a short period of time. Our effort was there tonight and I thought we had a good

game plan, I thought the guys executed it very well,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes. “ … It was a great effort on our part especially with how many guys we had to play that aren't regulars and how many guys we had to play out of position as well.”

Said midfielder Paulo Nagamura: “I think we showed today that when we play as a group, we play better. I think every one of us did a great job sticking with the game plan and giving everything that we had. But at the end, like I said, I see this as an improvement for the road trip that we are going to have over these next three weeks. If we stay like that, I believe that we are going to get some points on the road.”

Graham Zusi scored his second goal of the season, his first since May 29, making his first start since Aug. 1 (and his second over the last eight league games).

“We look back at the past two games and you can't fault our effort in this game. You can't fault our effort. It is the kind of effort that we need, it is a big improvement from Wednesday's game so it is a positive, it certainly is,” Zusi said. “Getting two goals on the road is a positive. It's just those little things that we’ve got to fix.”

Marcel de Jong made his first start since July 24, coming into an attacking wide role, and scored his first MLS goal. De Jong had made one start in the position, June 6 vs. Seattle.

Dom Dwyer collected his second assist of the season, his first coming on April 18. Dwyer has three goals and an assist over the last six league matches.

Matt Besler collected his third assist of the season, his first since garnering assists in back-to-back games March 28 and April 5. The three assists are a new career single-season high for Besler.

CURRENT SPORTING KC VS. RAPIDS (23-17-14)


MATCH PREVIEW

Colorado Rapids will look to extend its winning streak on Satur-

day night when the 2013 MLS Cup Champions, Sporting Kansas

City, come to town. The match will take place at Dick’s Sporting

Goods Park with kickoff scheduled for 7:00 p.m. MT (Altitude).

After starting the month of August with three successive defeats,

the Rapids have turned things around and are riding a two-game

winning streak. Mastroeni’s men earned a 1-0 victory at Chicago

Fire last Saturday, as well as a 2-1 win against Houston Dynamo

on Wednesday night at home.

On the other hand, Sporting KC will try to snap a two-game losing

skid after falling 5-0 against San Jose Earthquakes and 3-2 at

Columbus Crew SC. The Earthquakes’ loss was their first at

home so far this season.

Currently, the Rapids are bottom of the table in the Western Con-

ference with a record of 7-9-9 (30 points), while Sporting KC are

in third place with a record of 11-6-7 (40 points).

INJURY REPORT

Out: Luis Solignac, Jared Watts

HISTORY WITH SPORTING KC

Sporting KC will always have a ‘special’ place in the hearts of

Rapids fans, being as they were the first-ever opponents when –

as Kansas City Wiz – they ruined Colorado’s introduction to Ma-

jor League Soccer with a 3-0 win at Arrowhead Stadium.

The date was April 13, 1996 and it was the first match for both

franchises in the newly launched MLS.

In all, the Rapids and Sporting KC have met 53 times. Colorado’s

regular season home record against Kansas City stands at 14-6-

7 and 17-23-13 (70 GF, 92 GA) overall.

The most recent meeting with Sporting Kansas City came two

months ago at Sporting Park. With goals from Nemeth and an

own goal from Sam Cronin, the Rapids fell 2-0 in Kansas City.

Due to inclement weather, the Rapids and SKC match scheduled

for May 16 was postponed and will now be played on 10/21.

LAST MEETING

Sporting Kansas City 2, Colorado Rapids 0

Sporting Park, Kansas City, KS

Saturday, June 27, 2015

Pablo Mastroeni’s side started brightly but they trailed to a sharp

low finish from Krisztian Nemeth in the 32nd minute.

They tried to work their way into the game but, on 62 minutes,

Sam Cronin turned a cross from Benny Feilhaber into his own

net. There was no way back after that.

This game represented the halfway point of the MLS season and

Rapids fell to 2-6-9 at the time.

In the 20th minute Pittinari watched his deflected drive drift just

inches wide of the far post after tireless work from Solignac.

However, as has often happened this season, Rapids’ good work

was undone by a clinical piece of finishing. On the half-hour, My-

ers fired over an expert low cross and Nemeth cracked a crisp

shot into the corner.

Melia made a sharp save from Solignac late on as Rapids tried to

restore parity but they trailed going into the break.

The pattern was similar after the interval. The game was relative-

ly level but Sporting got the all-important goal.

Dwyer’s free-kick forced Irwin into an early save but, in reply,

Solignac’s cross-shot all but grazed the post after collecting an

astute pass from Greenspan.

First Myers cut the ball back for Nemeth to fire across goal. Then,

in the 62nd minute, Feilhaber sent over a cross from the right to

the near post and, under pressure, Cronin deflected the ball into

his own net.

Mastroeni made changes. He threw on Kevin Doyle immediately

then Dillon Powers and Vicente Sanchez soon afterwards.

It made little difference. Sporting kept the Rapids at bay until the

final whistle.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY CONNECTIONS

Sporting Kansas City’s head coach, Peter Vermes, joined the

Rapids from the Metrostars after the inaugural season. He was a

part of the 1997 MLS Cup finalists, and would spend three years

in Colorado, making 98 appearances (8 goals). The defender

then left for Kansas City, in a trade which brought Scott Vermil-

lion the other direction. Vermes played 78 times in three seasons

for KC, before retiring.

Jacob Peterson is now in his fourth season with Sporting Kan-

sas City. He has played 81 regular season matches during that

time (7 goals). Peterson began his pro career with the Rapids,

having been selected 21st overall in the 2006 MLS SuperDraft. In

three seasons in Colorado, he made 92 appearances (8 goals).

Current Rapids defender, Michael Harrington, was third overall

pick in the 2007 MLS SuperDraft for Kansas City Wizards. He

spent six seasons with Kansas City, making 149 appearances.

Now Director of Soccer at the Rapids, the former Argentine inter-

national striker Claudio López was a player in Colorado during

their successful 2010 season, though managing to make only 11

appearances for a total of 200 minutes. He arrived in MLS from

Argentina, signing for the Wizards ahead of the 2008 season. He

spent two years in Kansas City, scoring 13 goals in 57 appear-

ances.

TALE OF THE TAPE

LAST MATCH

Colorado Rapids 2, Houston Dynamo 1

Dick’s Sporting Goods Park; Commerce City, CO

Wednesday, August 26, 2015

Kevin Doyle’s third goal of the season proved to be the difference

as Colorado Rapids edged out Houston Dynamo 2-1 at Dick’s

Sporting Goods Park on Wednesday night.

With 12 minutes left, the Irish DP striker bundled home a header

from close range following a cut-back from compatriot Sean

St.Ledger to decide a close encounter.

In the first half, the two sides had swapped spot kicks. Vicente

Sanchez netted on 20 minutes to give Colorado the lead. Brad

Davis replied 16 minutes later after Bobby Burling’s handball.

This hard-fought but deserved victory lifts the Rapids to 7-9-9 for

the season. If they can make it three wins in a row against Sport-

ing KC on Saturday then they are firmly back in the Playoff race.

TEAM NEWS

Head coach Pablo Mastroeni changed both personnel and for-

mation from Saturday’s win at Chicago. Sam Cronin was back

from suspension to replace Nick LaBrooca while Sánchez came

in for Dillon Powers. The side lined-up in a 4-2-3-1 as opposed to

the 4-3-3 at Toyota Park .

FIRST HALF

Rapids started brightly enough by peppering the Houston goal

from distance. However the first significant save came from Clint

Irwin when he tipped over an inquisitive, long-range shot from

Davis.

The home side were making significant in-roads down the right

and, midway through the half, they took the lead thanks to an

attack down that flank.

Sanchez beat Alex, his marker, to enter the area. As the defender

recovered the Rapids’ midfielder dragged the ball back onto his

hand. Referee Drew Fischer pointed to the spot and the Uruguay-

an stepped up, beat Tyler Deric and then jumped into the crowd

to celebrate.

However Houston would respond immediately. A.J. Cochrane

backflicked a header just past Irwin’s right-hand post then, on 37

minutes, they equalized from the penalty spot. Burling handled a

right-wing cross under pressure from Will Bruin and Davis slid his

penalty down the center of the goal, just beating Irwin’s out-

stretched boot.

SECOND HALF

Rapids started quickly at the start of the second half. Sanchez

nearly caught out keeper Deric then Cronin’s drive across goal

was deflected wide for a corner when it might have gone any-

where.

Both coaches made a slew of substitutions to change up their

sides. Rapids were still on top but struggling to find that incisive

pass.

In the end, the breakthrough was down to tenacity and desire. St.

Ledger chased down a seemingly hopeless ball to the right-hand

byline. He clipped it back into the area and Doyle leaned in front

of his marker to bundle home a header.

Substitute Powers nearly grabbed an immediate third but his

snap shot flew just wide, then Juan Ramirez dribbled through

before prodding a shot wide.

MAXIMUM MINUTES

Clint Irwin is the only Rapids player that has featured in all 2,250

minutes of the 2015 season. Sam Cronin is second on the team

with minutes 1,617 logged, followed by Dillon Powers (1,578) and

Lucas Pittinari (1,521). Twelve players on the roster have passed

the 1,000-minute mark for the season. The others are Bobby

Burling (1,508), Gabriel Torres, (1,460), Drew Moor (1,440), Mar-

celo Sarvas (1,409), James Riley (1,340), Michael Harrington

Pablo Mastroeni took charge of the MLS All-Stars last month

against Tottenham Hotspur, with a squad which included Sam

Cronin, Drew Moor and Clint Irwin. It was the first time since

2008 that the Rapids had more than one player feature in the

MLS All-Star game, when Christian Gomez and Mastroeni saw

action in a 3-2 win over West Ham United.

The last time the Rapids had three players or more named to the

All-Star roster was in 2005, when they had four. Only Jeff Cun-

ningham saw time. Joe Cannon, Pablo Mastroeni and Mike Petke

though, were also in the squad.
