MLS GAME INFORMATION

PHILADELPHIA UNION vs SPORTING KANSAS CITY PPL PARK, Chester, Pa.

Oct. 18, 2014 (WEEK 32, MLS Game #310) 7 p.m. ET (TCN-Phi; KMCI-38) Philadelphia Union conclude their home campaign for 2015 when they meet a Sporting Kansas City side looking for maximum points as the clubs face off Saturday evening at PPL Park. Union saw their playoff hopes dashed last weekend, in a dramatic 3-2 home loss to the Columbus Crew. Sporting are still in the hunt for the top spot in the Eastern Conference, having secured their berth in the postseason last Friday with a 2-0 win against the Chicago Fire. REFEREE: Jair Marrufo.

The teams are meeting for the third time this season. Brian Brown’s goal answered a strike from SKC’s Graham Zusi to leave the teams in a 1-1 draw, Aug. 1 at Sporting Park. On May 14 in Kansas City, Cristian Maidana’s goal quickly answered a late Dom Dwyer and gave Union a 2-1 win.

Union have won just once in five all-time matches against Sporting at PPL Park, that win coming June 23, 2012. SKC won on their two visits to Chester last year; the first two meetings at PPL Park ended in draws.

Coaches record: Jim Curtin vs. KC: P1 W0 L0 T1 … Peter Vermes vs. PHI: P11 W4 L3 T4 LAST MEETING (MLS)

The hosts took the lead early in the second half. Toni Dovale found himself 1-v-1 with Union defender Maurice Edu near the top of the area, and Dovale tapped a pass past him to a streaking Graham Zusi, who finished inside the left post for the 53rd-minute opener.

But Union found a late equalizer. Raymon Gaddis sent in a cross from the left flank, and substitute Brian Brown got behind his marker to head it into the lower left corner to salvage a point.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Andy Gruenebaum - Igor Juliao, Kevin Ellis, Aurelien Collin, Jacob Peterson - Benny Feilhaber - Jorge Claros, Mikey Lopez (Soony Saad 68) - Antonio Dovale (C.J. Sapong 69), Dom Dwyer (Martin Steuble 89), Graham Zusi.

PHILADELPHIA UNION (4-2-3-1): Zac MacMath - Sheanon Williams, Ethan White, Maurice Edu, Raymon Gaddis - Brian Carroll, Amobi Okugo - Sebastien Le Toux, Vincent Nogueira (Fred 87), Danny Cruz (Andrew Wenger 67) - Conor Casey (Brian Brown 69).

PHILADELPHIA UNION Philadelphia Union saw their winless streak extended to five games in cruel fashion yet again, and were eliminated from playoff contention, following a 3-2 loss to the Columbus Crew on Saturday evening at PPL Park. Union are in seventh place in the Eastern Conference with 39 points from 32 games. LAST MATCH

Union took the lead in the 68th minute. Amobi Okugo headed a Fabinho cross down into the path of second-half substitute Danny Cruz, and he rifled a shot past Crew goalkeeper Steve Clark for the opener.

Then just seven minutes the lead was doubled. Vincent Nogueira hit the post from an angled shot on the right, but Andrew Wenger followed up and was able to bundle it over the line from close range to make it 2-0 Union.


The Crew stormed back with a record three goals in four minutes. In the 78th minute, Ethan Finlay pulled a goal back for the Crew, turning home a Hector Jimenez cross from the right flank.

Just a minute later, the score was tied when Crew winger Justin Meram dribbed through the Union defense and firing a shot past goalkeeper Zac MacMath. Then the game-winner came in the 82nd minute, as Jairo Arrieta slid onto a Tony Tchani cross from the left flank and put it into the back of the net to complete the stunning comeback.

Union interim manager Jim Curtin made three changes to the team that drew 1-1 with the Chicago Fire at PPL Park. Ethan White, Sebastien Le Toux and Conor Casey all came back into the team, in place of Fred, Cristian Maidana and Pedro Ribeiro.

PHILADELPHIA UNION (4-2-3-1): Zac MacMath - Raymon Gaddis, Ethan White, Carlos Valdes (Antoine Hoppenot 85), Fabinho - Amobi Okugo, Maurice Edu - Sebastien Le Toux (Pedro Ribeiro 80), Vincent Nogueira, Andrew Wenger - Conor Casey (Danny Cruz 58).

TEAM NEWS With the defeat, Union were officially eliminated from the chase for the MLS Cup Playoffs, the third consecutive

season they’ve failed to reach the postseason after their lone appearance in the 2011 campaign. “We haven’t put together too many good seasons. It’s been the fifth year of the club and we’re at a position

where we want to be a team that’s fighting to get into the playoffs. The only thing that cures that is winning and winning together and sticking together in the tough times,” said interim manager Jim Curtin. “Right now we’re in a tough time. We’ve been eliminated from the playoffs and we have two games left. That’s not where we wanted to be. It is contagious now, when something goes wrong it tends to go wrong too many times. You get sick to your stomach with it- it’s tough but you have to learn from these moments.”

Union had their winless streak extended to five matches, with two losses and three draws in that time, following a three-game winning run from Aug. 24-Sept. 6, their longest streak of victories this season.

The three-goal onslaught to give the Crew the lead and eventual victory was the fastest three goals ever allowed by Union, three goals in the four-minute span.

“In a lot of ways, this one is somehow worse than even the last one as far as letdowns go,” Curtin said. “To give up two goals on our home field and not be able to hold on is inexcusable from everyone – from the top down. It’s not good enough. And, to be honest, we’re not a playoff team. That’s clear. Over the course of 32 games now, we’ve come up short. To be eliminated on a night like this, you deserve to be when you give up three goals in a [four]-minute span.”

Danny Cruz scored his third goal this season, his first since June 28, matching his single-season career-high he set last year in his first full season with Union.

“We’re professional athletes,” said Cruz. “It’s what we live for. We live to win championships, to win games. We don’t take this lightly. I don’t. I feel awful. I feel like we let down the club. I feel like we let down the fans, more importantly.”

Andrew Wenger scored his seventh goal of the season, his fourth goal over the last eight league matches. Wenger had scored five goals total in his first two MLS seasons.

Amobi Okugo recorded his first assist of the season, and now has a goal and an assist over the last two matches.

“We still have a good core of young players, we have to look toward the future now. We have to finish out the season with these last two games but you have to look towards the offseason and adding a couple of pieces just like every team does in the offseason. Those pieces have to be guys that come in and lead and help us close these type of games out,” said Curtin.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City recorded a second consecutive shutout and clinched a berth in the MLS Cup Playoffs in the process, defeating the Chicago Fire 2-0 on Friday evening at Sporting Park. Sporting are in a tie for second place in the Eastern Conference with 49 points from 32 games. LAST MATCH

Sporting had a glorious chance to opening the scoring early. Fire fullback Lovel Palmer brought down SKC's Benny Feilhaber in the area in the 12th minute, and referee Kevin Stott awarded the penalty kick. But Dom Dwyer put his spot kick over the bar.

The opening goal finally came 10 minutes from the end. Graham Zusi took a pass from defender Kevin Ellis outside the Fire box, dribbled through defenders into the top right of the Fire's penalty area, and unleashed a left-footed shot that sailed over Johnson's outstretched right hand and into the upper left corner of the net.

Sporting salted away the result in the second minute of stoppage time, when Zusi put in a pinpoint cross from the right corner and Dwyer leaped to easily head home.

Sporting manager Peter Vermes made two changes to the team that reached a scoreless draw with D.C. United at RFK Stadium. Jacob Peterson came in at fullback for the suspended Seth Sinovic, and Benny Feilhaber started in place of C.J. Sapong.


SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Andy Gruenebaum - Igor Juliao, Kevin Ellis, Matt Besler, Jacob Peterson (Mikey Lopez 86) - Lawrence Olum - Paulo Nagamura, Benny Feilhaber - Antonio Dovale (C.J. Sapong 68), Dom Dwyer, Graham Zusi (Soony Saad 94+).

TEAM NEWS Sporting secured their berth in the MLS Cup Playoffs for a fourth consecutive season with the victory, snapping

a two-game winless run and their second victory in their last eight league matches. “I told the guys before we went out that it is important for us to take advantage of what we can control. We had

an opportunity to get into the playoffs now and resting ourselves going forward,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes. “That is something we will have to do because we have been through a very difficult time this year. The guys need to get a little break and make sure when we get to the playoffs we have as many healthy bodies as possible.”

Graham Zusi scored a goal and added an assist, the third time this season he’s had a goal and an assist in the same match. Zusi has four goals and four assists since returning from the World Cup and U.S. national team.

“We have quite a bit of confidence in where we are right now, as we should,” Zusi said. “We have been playing well, and this one tonight is just a huge win for us. It gives us more confidence and momentum going into the playoffs, which has proven in the past to be huge. Teams that are playing well going into the playoffs typically go pretty far.”

Andy Gruenebaum recorded his third consecutive shutout in league play, over the last four matches. Gruenebaum has not allowed a goal in his last 308 minutes of service, the fifth-longest individual shutout streak in MLS this season.

“This was very important,” midfielder Paulo Nagamura said. “Lately we had been poor, I would say, in our home record. To get a clean sheet and to get a win in front of our fans, it was a big boost of confidence.”

Said Gruenebaum: “Our whole goal was to keep getting shutouts. It was a great defensive effort by the team. We knew that if we were just patient with our buildup and picked good spots to go after them, we were going to get a couple goals. The biggest thing was getting the shutout, and it was a great team effort from top to bottom. We’re getting closer to that playoff form.”

Dom Dwyer scored his 21st goal of the season, adding to his Kansas City single-season club record for league games. Dwyer did miss a penalty kick, snapping a string of six consecutive spot kick conversions this season.

“I know, throughout my career, I'm going to miss,” Dwyer said. “I'm going to miss another PK. There's going to be a time I miss an open goal. It's going to happen to everyone. You see Messi. You see Ronaldo. You see the best players in the world missing. That's something you have to deal with in the game, and I've matured and learned to deal with it. I still get 30 seconds where I'm mad, I'm in a mood, and then you brush it off and move on and make sure you put away the next one.”

Jacob Peterson made his first start since Aug. 10, coming in at left back and playing 86 minutes. It was Peterson’s second start this season at fullback, the first coming all the way back on May 18.

“I'm very proud of the fact that our team can and is committed to our style of play. And then you add in to the fact that the a guy like Paulo Nagamura is out for two months comes back and plays 85 minutes his first game back, tonight Jake [Peterson] has been out for the last month and he comes in and plays 84 minutes in a position that normally I would never put him in. But I trust him enough to do it and he did a fantastic job in the game.,” said Vermes. “A lot of guys have done a lot of things to help us get here and hopefully in the next couple weeks we can get enough bodies and enough guys strong enough that we can make the push that we need to at the end of the season.”

The Union enter the match against Sporting following a devastating 3-2 loss at home against

Columbus Crew.

o The all-time record for the Union against the Crew moved to 3-7-1 while the goal differential

dropped to -3 (15 to 18)

After a scoreless first half, substitute Danny Cruz got the Union on the board by slotting one past

Crew keeper Steve Clark in the 68th minute. Cruz was wide open in the box after a Fabinho cross

near the far post stretched the backline. Amobi Okugo was on the end of it and headed it down right

for Cruz.

Just seven minutes later, Wenger won a header near midfield and played it deep for Vincent

Nogueira. With a 2-on-1, Nogueira’s shot tipped off Clark and hit the post, but Wenger was there to

easily clean it up for a 2-0 lead.

The 2-0 Union lead quickly evaporated, however, as Hector Jimenez crossed a ball in for Ethan

Finlay, who brilliantly redirected it over Zac MacMath to get the Crew on the board in the 78th

minute.

Just a minute later, Justin Meram dribbled through the Union defense and beat MacMath to tie the

game, 2-2.

Finally, in the 82nd minute, Jairo Arrieta scored the eventual game winner by getting on the end of

Tony Tchani’s cross.

Draws TOTAL 3 4 4

Interim Manager Jim Curtin on the loss to Columbus:

“In a lot of ways this one’s somehow worse than even the last one, as far as a letdown goes. Worked hard, guys always give everything they have, but to get up two goals on your home field and not be able to hold on is inexcusable from everyone, from the top down. Not good enough and to be honest, we’re not a playoff team. It’s clear. Over the course of 32 games now, we’ve come up short. To be eliminated on a night like this you deserve to be when you give up three goals in basically in a six, seven minute span.”

Curtin on the final two games:

“I don’t think you block that stuff out, that’s the reality of our game, that’s pro sports. If you don’t win, if you don’t have success on the field, there’s always going to be changes to teams in the offseason. There’ll be personnel changes, obviously, with any team, but it’s always greater when your team doesn’t make the playoffs and have success. That’s part of the business, it’s part of sports. When you’ve come up short, and we did, it’s a fine line. It’s a fine line between being a team that’s successful and a winner in this league, and being on the outside and looking in, which is where we find ourselves. You can talk about the past, and you can talk about the last four or five games that could’ve gone either way for us but I still believe you are what your record says you are. And this is what we are: not good enough.”

Danny Cruz on the team’s play since the Open Cup

“If you look before the Open Cup final we had a confident group, we were getting results highlighted by what we did against Toronto FC [in those back-to-back wins], there wasn’t a lack of confidence, but I think that draw last week [against Chicago] really hurt us and to get two goals this week and not hold it really hurts.”

Cruz on missing the playoffs:

“I can’t stress enough our fans deserve better. We put a lot into the year and we are not happy now, this is not the way we wanted to end the year, believe me.”

Ray Gaddis on the loss to Columbus:

“Tough game, one that is tough to take in right now; I’d have to go back and look [at the game tape] to really tell you what happened, but honestly we just have to want it more and finish out these games.”

Okugo verging on the Century mark

With one more MLS start, Amobi Okugo will reach 100 for his career, the fifth player to ever do

that for the Union. Zac MacMath recently reached 100 against Columbus (Oct. 11). Sheanon

Williams, Brian Carroll and Sebastien Le Toux have also reached the milestone for the Union.

Drafted in Philadelphia’s inaugural season, Okugo has played in 115 games for the Union since

2010. He’s scored five goals – all in the last two seasons – and has handed out five assists.

On a roll vs. SKC

Although Sporting Kansas City is perennially one of the top teams in the league, the Union have

had a decent amount of success against the club. This year alone, they’ve taken points in both

contests –each coming at Sporting Park.

o The Union won 2-1 on May 14 with goals from Danny Cruz and Cristian Maidana. Cruz

tallied an unassisted goal in the 49th minute. After Dom Dwyer tied it in the 80th

minute, Maidana immediately responded with the eventual game-winner.

o The Union tied 1-1 on Aug. 1. Graham Zusi put Sporting ahead in the 54th minute, but

Brian Brown scored his first career MLS goal in the 71st minute to equalize.

All-time, the Union are 3-4-4 against Sporting Kansas City, but have fared better on the road. At

PPL Park, they’re 1-2-2 with their last win coming on June 23, 2012 in a 4-0 game. Jack

McInerney scored twice while Lionard Pajoy and Antoine Hoppenot added insurance goals.

Stat Check

The Union need 17 attempted shots and 11 shots on goal to break franchise records. Both were

set in 2013 with 459 shots and 140 shots on goal.

With 22 shots on goal, Andrew Wenger is fifth all-time for the Union during a single-season. He

needs five more to pass Conor Casey (2013) for fourth place.

Cristian Maidana needs to take nine more corner kicks to break the franchise’s single-season

record of 95 set by Sebastian Le Toux in 2013. Le Toux is also second on that list with 91 in 2011.

o Maidana needs to take one more corner to pass Freddy Adu (87) for second place on the

career list in Union history. Le Toux sits atop the list with 324.

Raymon Gaddis needs to play 100 more minutes this season to finish second all-time amongst

outfield players for a single-season. He’s currently played 2,871.

With 58 attempted shots this season, Vincent Nogueira needs seven more to pass Conor Casey

(2013) for fourth place in a single season in Union franchise history. Le Toux (2010) holds the

record with 90 shots.

With 107 attempted shots in his Union career, Danny Cruz needs 11 more to pass Michael

Farfan for third place on the Union’s all-time list. Le Toux leads with 254.

The rivals last met in the 2014 MLS regular season on Aug. 1 at Sporting Park. Sporting KC moved atop in the Supporters’ Shield table and extended their unbeaten streak to eight games with a 1-1 draw. The hosts went ahead in the 54th minute through Graham Zusi, who scored in his second straight League game. Antonio Dovale collected an errant header from Raymon Gaddis and slipped the ball to Zusi for a first-time finish inside the far post from the right side of the box. Philadelphia equalized after 71 minutes. Just over a minute after coming into the match for his second MLS appearance, 21-year-old Jamaican international Brian Brown was on the end of a cross from Gaddis and made no mistake with a well-placed header past Andy Gruenebaum, who finished the night with six saves. Saturday is the third and final meeting between the sides this season. Philadelphia defeated Sporting KC 2-1 on May 14 at Sporting Park. Sporting KC holds a 4-3-4 all-time advantage in the series.

Dwyer named Sporting KC Offensive Player of the Year and Co-MVP Forward Dom Dwyer’s breakout season garnered Sporting KC Offensive Player of the Year and Co-Most Valuable Player recognition last Saturday. In his third year with the club, he tops Kansas City’s all-time single-season scoring chart with 21 MLS goals, while his 22 goals in all competitions tie a franchise best (Preki, 1996). Dwyer is second in the MLS Golden Boot race behind Bradley Wright-Phillips (25 goals) with two games to play. Major League Soccer’s Player of the Month in May, he has scored in four straight MLS games on two separate occasions in 2014 and his five multi-goal games are tied for the League lead. The 24-year-old Englishman has scored six game-winning goals, second most in MLS and tied for the most in a single-season in club history. His13 left-footed goals and five headed goals are also League-bests.

Zusi named Sporting KC Co-Most Valuable Player Winger Graham Zusi earned a share of team MVP honors for a third straight season last Saturday. He has five goals and eight assists in 24 MLS matches to go along with an assist in the 2013/14 CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals. The 28-year-old playmaker leads the team in assists for a fourth straight season and is the only MLS player with at least five goals and seven assists in each of the past four years. Zusi’s 68 successful crosses/corners in 2014 are most in MLS, as are his 346 chances created in MLS competition (including playoffs) since 2011. Zusi’s 39 career assists are third most on the team’s all-time charts and his 22 goals rank 10th most in club history. Sporting KC is 17-0-2 all-time when Zusi scores in an MLS match. The Co-MVP award comes on the heels of his Goal of the Week nominee in a 2-0 win over the Chicago Fire on Oct. 10. Zusi’s left-footed effort ultimately sealed Sporting KC’s spot in the 2014 MLS Cup Playoffs. He followed up the 80th-minute goal with an inch-perfect cross to Dom Dwyer in the 92nd minute for his team-high eighth assist of the season.

Sinovic tabbled Sporting KC Defender of the Year Left back Seth Sinovic was named Sporting KC’s Defender of the Year last Saturday. A regular starter on a backline that has allowed the fewest shots among all MLS teams in 2014, Sinovic leads all Sporting KC players in interceptions (68) and minutes played (2,575) during the regular season while contributing three assists across all competition. The 27-year-old Leawood, Kansas native ranks third among MLS defenders with 1,913 touches and fourth at his position with 1,170 passes and 275 duels. Since 2011, no player in Major League Soccer has contributed to more shutouts than Sinovic in MLS competition (47 including postseason). Over that span, he’s played in 63 MLS victories (including postseason), which is fourth most among MLS players.

Dovale and Juliao share Sporting KC Newcomer of the Year honors In their first MLS seasons, winger Antonio Dovale and defender Igor Juliao shared Sporting KC Newcomer of the Year distinction last Saturday. Dovale, 24, has four goals and four assists across all competition while playing wide in Sporting KC’s 4-3-3 formation. The Spaniard has scored three of those goals in the 2014-15 CONCACAF Champions League Group Stage to become tied for second on the club’s all-time scoring chart in international matches. Juliao, 20, has contributed three assists in all competition as a right back and leads all MLS defenders with 39 dribbles completed and 52 fouls suffered in 2014. During a season that saw Sporting KC suit up the youngest field player (Erik Palmer-Brown, 17) and goalkeeper (Jon Kempin, 21) in MLS this year, Juliao became the youngest player in club history to start 20 MLS matches for the team.

Feilhaber nets Sporting KC Goal of the Year For the second straight season, Benny Feilhaber claimed Sporting KC Goal of the Year bragging rights. The World Cup veteran received the recognition for his game-winning goal in the final minute of a 2-1 victory at Columbus on July 16, the team’s latest game-winning goal of the season to date. In his fourth MLS season, the 29-year-old has set career-highs in games played (30) and games started (29) en route to recording five goals and seven assists across all competition. Named MLS Player of the Month in July, the two-way midfielder leads the team with 43 chances created from open play, 56 tackles won, 191 duels won, 221 recoveries, 1,498 passes and 2,026 touches.

Sporting KC visits Philly for final regular season road trip of 2014 Sporting KC’s penultimate regular season match of 2014 comes against a Philadelphia Union team that was eliminated from postseason contention last Saturday after suffering a 3-2 defeat to the Columbus Crew. However, the Union have earned two positive road results against the reigning MLS champions this year, winning 2-1 on May 14 and battling to a 1-1 draw on Aug 1. Meanwhile, Sporting KC clinched a spot in the MLS Cup Playoffs for a fourth straight campaign after beating the Chicago Fire 2-0 on Oct. 10. Peter Vermes’ men have tasted recent success at PPL Park, notching a pair of victories to bookend the 2013 regular season. No team boasts more road wins this year than Sporting KC’s eight (8-7-1 overall). Conversely, Philadelphia has struggled to obtain maximum points at home, winning five of 16 contests in Chester, Pennsylvania (5-3-8 overall). The home team has not won in five straight games in this fixture.

Reigning MLS Cup champions vie for playoff seeding Having booked their place in the 2014 MLS Cup Playoffs, Sporting KC is one of five teams -- alongside LA Galaxy, New York Red Bulls, Real Salt Lake and Seattle Sounders FC -- to qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs in each of the last four seasons. With two regular season matches remaining, the defending MLS Cup champions are on course to face the New England Revolution in the conference semifinals for a second straight year. Sporting KC can clinch third place or higher in the East this weekend if they defeat Philadelphia and the Columbus Crew defeats or ties the New York Red Bulls on Saturday.

2014 MLS Cup Playoffs format and schedule Ten clubs, the top five in points from each conference at the end of the regular season, qualify for the 2014 MLS Cup Playoffs. The fourth and fifth place teams in each conference will play a single knockout game, with the winner advancing to the Conference Semifinals to face the first place team in the conference. The four Conference Semifinals and two Conference Championships will be decided by two-game aggregate series, with the lower seed hosting the first leg and the higher seed hosting the second leg. If the aggregate score is tied after 180 minutes of play, away goals will serve as a tiebreaker. If the series remains tied, two 15-minute extra time periods will be played, followed by penalty kicks, if necessary. The away goals tiebreaker will not apply to overtime in the 2nd leg of any two-legged playoff series. MLS Cup will be a single championship match on Dec. 7 hosted by the finalist with the most regular season points.

Sporting KC trio feature in friendly between U.S. and Honduras The United States and Honduras battled to a 1-1 stalemate in a friendly match that featured three Sporting KC players to start at FAU Stadium in Boca Raton, Florida on Tuesday. Defender Matt Besler and midfielder Graham Zusi earned their 10th caps of 2014 -- and first since the 2014 FIFA World Cup -- for the U.S. Men’s National Team, while midfielder Jorge Claros started his second match in a six-day span for Honduras. Jozy Altidore opened the scoring after 10 minutes on an assist from Michael Bradley, but Maynor Figueroa headed in a free kick from Mario Martinez in the 86th minute to level the match. Besler (22 caps) and Zusi (28 caps) each played 64 minutes before exiting in the second half, while Claros was a halftime substitute after picking up a caution in the 16th minute. Claros started and played the full 90 minutes on Oct. 9 in a 2-0 loss at Mexico.

Sporting Park sellout streak Sporting Park has sold out 52 straight MLS matches, including four playoff games. Since opening in June 2011, the venue has sold out 65 of 73 MLS games and averaged 19,332 spectators, 104.7 percent of its 18,467 capacity. Through 16 MLS matches of the 2014 home campaign, Sporting Park’s average attendance is 20,054. The stadium’s 108.6 percent capacity this season ranks first in the League (excluding CenturyLink Field in Seattle, where official capacity is 38,500 but expands to 67,000 for select matches).

Sporting KC’s depth tested throughout 2014 season Through 32 games in the 2014 MLS regular season, Sporting KC has featured 30 different starting lineups. Peter Vermes’ lineup selection has been complicated by several factors throughout the year. In March, the club had to balance multiple competitions during the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals. In May, schedule congestion came to the forefront with seven MLS games during the month. In July and August, goalkeepers Eric Kronberg and Andy Gruenebaum suffered injuries, giving Jon Kempin his first career MLS start. To complicate matters, Chance Myers and Ike Opara have suffered season-ending injuries; Matt Besler, Graham Zusi and Lawrence Olum have seen extended international action; and Erik Palmer-Brown, Aurelien Collin, Dom Dwyer, Benny Feilhaber and Seth Sinovic have served one-game suspensions. As a result, 30 different players have started an MLS match for the club this season, a team record and most in the League. Of those 30 players, 12 were 23 years of age or younger at the start of the season. The club’s defense has been stretched most of all, with eight different players featuring in the centerback position during the 2014 campaign. Sporting KC is just the 14th team in MLS history to start 30 different players in a single regular season. Of the previous 13 clubs to do so, only one has finished the year with a winning record (2008 Chivas USA, 12-11-7). Vermes’ 14-11-7 mark this season is no small accomplishment given the forced reshuffling of his squad throughout the 2014 campaign.

Sporting KC in control of CONCACAF Champions League Group 2 Sporting KC has moved into the driver’s seat in CONCACAF Champions League Group 2 after a pair of convincing victories at Sporting Park. The MLS champions (2-0-1, 7 points) defeated Deportivo Saprissa 3-1 on Sept. 18 before dispatching Real Esteli 3-0 on Sept. 23. The results give Sporting KC a three-point cushion over Saprissa (1-1-1, 4 points), whom they will face in the group stage finale on Thursday in San Jose, Costa Rica. Nicaraguan club Real Esteli (0-2-2, 2 points) has been eliminated from the competition. The 2014-15 CONCACAF Champions League Group Stage concludes on Oct. 23. The eight group winners will then advance to the two-legged quarterfinals in late winter 2015.

Sporting KC a consistent contender in MLS Since the beginning of 2011, Sporting KC has the third best aggregate regular season record and the best road record of all MLS teams. During this time period, Sporting KC is the only team to win both the MLS Cup (2013) and U.S. Open Cup (2012). It is also the only club with multiple regular season conference titles (2011, 2012).

Gruenebaum stays hot between the posts For the second consecutive week and fourth time this season, Sporting KC goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum is nominated for MLS Save of the Week. The Overland Park, Kansas native was one of five finalists for his 21st-minute stop on Matt Watson in a 2-0 win over Chicago on Oct. 10. The reaction save was his first of six stops on the night. The performance came on the heels of Gruenebaum’s seven-save outing at Eastern Conference leaders D.C. United a week earlier. The nine-year veteran becomes the first Sporting KC goalkeeper to make at least six saves in two straight MLS contests since Kevin Hartman in June 2008. Gruenebaum now has a 308-minute shutout streak dating back to Sept. 6, the longest active streak in MLS and just 44 minutes shy of the league’s longest streak this season. His 75.6 save percentage in 2014 is also second best among MLS goalkeepers with a minimum of 30 saves.

Besler moving up Sporting KC’s all-time charts Sporting KC captain and U.S. international defender Matt Besler has been a regular fixture for the club since he was drafted out of Notre Dame in the 2009 MLS SuperDraft. With a start on Oct. 10 against Chicago, the 27-year-old Overland Park, Kansas native moved into a tie for eighth place on Sporting KC’s all-time chart with 149 regular season appearances (alongside Mo Johnston and Michael Harrington). This came one match after he took sole possession of seventh place on the club’s all-time list with 143 starts on Sept. 26. He also currently ranks eighth all-time in regular season minutes played (13,026), a category topped by Sporting KC assistant coach Kerry Zavagnin (20,515).

Kronberg available after long stint out with hand injury After missing more than two months with a broken bone in his left hand, goalkeeper Eric Kronberg returned to MLS action with a start against New England on Sept. 26. Named the No. 1 keeper at the beginning of 2014, he started the team’s first 17 MLS matches before suffering the hand injury in training on July 9. He leads the League with a 1.00 goals against average among keepers with at least 400 minutes played. Major League Soccer’s Player of the Month for June, Kronberg is now in his ninth professional season. The 31-year-old is the club’s longest-tenured player and has remained with his current team longer than any active MLS goalkeeper. Only one player in club history (Davy Arnaud) has been with the team for more than nine seasons and only three other active MLS players have longer tenures with their teams: Logan Pause (12, Chicago Fire), Landon Donovan (10, LA Galaxy) and Gonzalo Segares (10, Chicago Fire).

Paying the penalty Sporting KC has conceded seven penalty kicks this year, tied for most in the club’s single-season history. This follows a League-wide trend: as of Oct. 15, 130 penalty kicks have been awarded this year (0.43 per game). The whole 2013 regular season had 81 penalties (0.25 per game), while the 2012 campaign had 72 penalties (0.22 per game).

Kerry ZavagninAssistant Coach

Zoran SavicAssistant Coach

John PascarellaAssistant Coach

Mateus ManoelFitness Coach

Manager Peter Vermes oversees all soccer operations for Sporting Kansas City, including the active roster and the Sporting Kansas City Juniors program. Vermes, an original member of Major League Soc-cer, 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.

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.

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 marked the first time the United States 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, ap-pearing for Raba ETO and FC Volendam, respectively. He later spent five years with Figueras of the Spanish Second Division.

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 Kansas City Assistant Coach Kerry Zavagnin and played in Denver through the 1999 season, leading the Rapids to the 1997 MLS Cup Final.

Vermes joined Kansas City in 2000 for what would be the most suc-cessful 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 became eligible for the veteran ballot and on October 11, 2013, Vermes was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame.

Sporting Kansas City’s manager for the past six seasons, Vermes is the second-longest serving head coach in team history. 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 Confer-ence regular season titles (2011, 2012). He is the only person to ever win the MLS Cup as both a player and a coach with the same team.

Vermes is a member of the U.S. Soccer Board of Directors and has a soccer park named after him in his home state of New Jersey.

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) Champion-ships. 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.

He started his professional career with the New York/New Jer-sey 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.

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.

Zoran Savic joined Sporting Kansas City as an assistant coach 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 Stal-lions 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.

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.

In 2007 Savic switched to the outdoor game, joining Chivas USA as an assistant to then-head coach Preki before moving into the commentary booth for Kansas City matches in 2008 and 2009. Savic’s career as a commentator was cut short, however, when newly installed Manager Peter Vermes tabbed Savic to be part of his coaching staff late in the 2009 season.

Assistant Coach John Pascarella played professionally for nine sea-sons 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.

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 becom-ing the Head Coach and Technical Director of the Northern Virginia Royals of the USL’s Premier Development League for two seasons.

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

Mateus Manoel is in his fifth 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 fol-lowing rehab and recovery.

In the summer of 2010, Mateus was an Assistant Fitness Coach for the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team during the FIFA World Cup in South Africa. He had previously served as the Head Fitness Coach for the Mexican Men’s National Team in 2009, working with world renowned coach Sven Eriksson. During 2007 and 2008, Mateus 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 hold-ing the position of Sports Performance Director with Velocity Sports Performance in Alexandria, Virginia.

Mateus 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 Soc-cer 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. Mateus was born in Brazil and is fluent in both Portuguese and Spanish.
