SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs FC DALLAS SPORTING PARK, Kansas City, Kan.

May 29, 2015 (WEEK 13, MLS Game #124) 8 p.m. CT (UniMás / UDN; KMCI-38)

Long-time rivals now back together in the Western Conference, Sporting Kansas City and FC Dallas meet for the second time this season when they face off on Viernes de Fútbol at Sporting Park. The teams are separated by just three points in the West table. FC Dallas are still on top of the division, seeing their five-game unbeaten run come to an end when they kicked off their long road swing with a 2-1 loss at Montréal. Sporting extended their current undefeated streak to five games, coming away from Seattle Sounders FC with a point following a scoreless draw last weekend. REFEREE: David Gantar.

The teams are meeting for the second time this season. Blas Perez scored on either side of halftime and Fabian Castillo put the match away with a late goal as FC Dallas claimed a 3-1 win March 14 at Toyota Stadium.

It was the first win for either team in the all-time series since 2012, when Sporting won 2-1 in Kansas City. The last FCD victory had come in 2011, a 3-2 at Sporting Park on Aug. 27.

Coaches record: Peter Vermes vs. DAL: P9 W3 L4 D2 … Oscar Pareja vs. KC: P4 W1 L1 D2 LAST MEETING (MLS) 3/14: DAL 3, KC 1 (Perez 17, 52; Castillo 73 – Espinoza 44)

FCD opened the scoring in the 17th minute. Blas Perez started the play, looping a pass that allowed Fabian Castillo to race towards goal. Castillo found Tesho Akindele, who made a nifty turn and found a trailing Perez on the right side of the box, and he fired the ball past SKC goalkeeper Luis Marin.

But the visitors pulled level in the 44th minute when Roger Espinoza was given far too much space to drill a into the left side of the net from just outside the area as FCD goalkeeper Chris Seitz could not keep out the shot despite getting a hand to it.

FC Dallas took the lead in the 52nd minute. A corner kick was deflected back to Michel, whose looping cross found an wide-open Perez in the penalty area, and he converted from close range as the flag stayed down despite a hint of offside.

The lead was doubled in in the 73rd minute when a perfectly weighted pass from Michel found Ryan Hollingshead streaking down the right side. Hollingshead then found Castillo, who accelerated past Marin and finished into an empty net.

Kansas City had another golden opportunity in the 79th minute after Matt Hedges was ruled to have handled the ball in the box. Dom Dwyer took the resulting penalty kick, but Seitz read him perfectly and dove right to keep the ball out.

FC DALLAS (4-2-3-1): Chris Seitz - Atiba Harris, Zach Loyd, Matt Hedges, Moises Hernandez - Victor Ulloa, Michel - Tesho Akindele (Michael Barrios 76), Mauro Diaz (Ryan Hollingshead 69), Fabian Castillo (Kyle Bekker 89) - Blas Perez.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City stretched their undefeated streak to five games, reaching a scoreless draw with Seattle Sounders FC on Saturday evening at CenturyLink Field. Sporting are in a tie for fourth place in the Western Conference with 18 points from 12 matches. LAST MATCH

The closest opportunity for either team came in stoppage time when Seattle goalkeeper Stefan Frei was forced to make a diving save to deny Kansas City’s Benny Feilhaber.

Frei was credited with three saves in keeping the clean sheet, while Sporting goalkeeper Tim Melia recorded two saves.

SKC manager Peter Vermes made two changes to the team that rolled to a 4-2 win against the New England Revolution at Sporting Park. Servando Carrasco and Jimmy Medranda came into the side, replacing Paulo Nagamura and Dom Dwyer.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-2-3-1): Tim Melia - Jalil Anibaba, Kevin Ellis, Matt Besler, Amadou Dia - Servando Carrasco (Graham Zusi 77), Benny Feilhaber - Jimmy Medranda (Saad Abdul-Salaam 58), Soni Mustivar, Jacob Peterson (Connor Hallisey 56) - Krisztian Nemeth.

TEAM NEWS Sporting extended their undefeated streak with their third draw over the last five matches, their last loss coming

April 18. All three draws have come in away matches; Sporting have won nine of their last 10 matches. “To come in here and to make as many changes as we’ve had, the number of injuries that we’ve had … at that

point, we had 16 players on the roster,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes. “We ended the game with three first-round draft picks from this year, two foreign players that we brought in and another two players that we brought in from there as well. So a lot of changes for our group and it was a tremendous point for us, that’s for sure.”

After having started each of the first 11 matches, Dom Dwyer was unable to post after suffering an injury in prematch warmups.

“If anything, it’s more precautionary than anything else. He was feeling something and it was better that he pulled himself out. We needed him and it would’ve been great if he’d have been on the field, but at the end of the day, I’m big on that you make those decisions,” said Vermes. “Sometimes you might have to sacrifice one game for 10. You have to be intelligent about it. It was a mature decision on his part.”

Jimmy Medranda made his first appearance since April 5, coming into a wide midfield role, as Krisztian Nemeth took the spot as the lone out-and-out striker.

Servando Carrasco made his first start since April 25, coming into a deep-lying midfield position. Graham Zusi was also able to make an appearance, coming off the substitutes’ bench for the final 13 minutes in place of Carrasco, after missing one match through concussion-like symptoms.

“I'm glad that Zusi only had to go 15 minutes,” Vermes said. “I thought that was good. I really didn't want him to have to play anymore. We tried to have him not play at all, but unfortunately, with the other guys dropping out, it was something we decided we kind of had to do. He said he was ready to go.”

Rookies Saad Abdul-Salaam made his second consecutive substitute appearance, and Connor Hallisey came off the bench for a third consecutive match. The club’s third first-round SuperDraft pick, Amadou Dia, started his second consecutive match at left back.

“They listened very well,” Vermes said. “Those guys are incredibly coachable. They all have really good instincts on the field, and once again they were really good for us. It's great to see. It's great to see those guys getting the kind of time they are, and more importantly, the performances they're putting in.”

Said Benny Feilhaber: “We got every single one of our rookies in there and they played an intricate part with the result. Everyone picked up the tactics which is very important and sometimes not so easy. A lot of good things were in this game and there are also obviously always things we can improve on. I think that will come with not only more time with everybody but also with some of our other guys coming back. We are missing a lot of players right now and that is to be expected.

On Wednesday, Sporting announced they have mutually agreed to part ways with goalkeeper Luis Marin due to personal considerations. Marin started SKC’s first eight matches has not featured since allowing four goals in the 4-4 draw at Houston on April 25. Sporting also recalled Homegrown goalkeeper Jon Kempin from his loan to the NASL’s San Antonio Scorpions.


FC DALLAS FC Dallas saw their undefeated streak put to an end after five games, falling 2-1 to the Montréal Impact on Saturday evening at Stade Saputo. FC Dallas are in first place in the Western Conference with 21 points from 12 matches. LAST MATCH

The Impact opened the scoring in the 25th minute. After FCD fullback Moises Hernandez challenged Andres Romero from behind and knocked him down, referee Chris Penso awarded a penalty kick. Ignacio Piatti duly converted it to the right of FC Dallas goalkeeper Dan Kennedy.

The Impact hit for a second just after the halftime break. On a quick counter, Jack McInerney cut in from the left and played a give-and-go with Piatti, receiving the return pass just inside the top of the area and curling a low shot inside the right post past a diving Kennedy and a sliding defender.

FC Dallas pulled a goal back late. In the 77th minute, Montreal failed to clear a free kick and FC Dallas forward Tesho Akindele put a foot to it, forcing Impact goalkeeper Evan Bush into a save, but center back Matt Hedges drove the rebound into the top of the goal.

FCD head coach Oscar Pareja made two changes to the team that reached a scoreless draw with the New York Red Bulls at Toyota Stadium. Michel came into the midfield for Kellyn Acosta, and Ryan Hollingshead started in place of Tesho Akindele.

FC DALLAS (4-2-3-1): Dan Kennedy - Je-Vaughn Watson, Walker Zimmerman, Matt Hedges, Moises Hernandez (Atiba Harris 80) - Victor Ulloa, Michel (Tesho Akindele 53) - Ryan Hollingshead (Kyle Bekker 73), Mauro Diaz, Fabian Castillo - Blas Perez.

TEAM NEWS FC Dallas saw their five-game undefeated streak come to an end, after three wins and two draws, with their

first loss since April 10. “We never lost our heads and continued to look for goals,” FCD head coach Oscar Pareja said. “The way we

played the last 20 minutes, I thought was very encouraging. They played with everything they had.” Said Matt Hedges: “We’ve got a lot of heart. Almost coming back down 2-0 on the road, it just shows that we

always push and always give 100 percent no matter what the score is and where the game is. We’re always there and always in it.”

The game started a five-game road swing for FC Dallas, the longest in the club’s history. After the trip to Kansas City, they face trips to San Jose, Seattle and Colorado. FCD will not play again at Toyota Stadium until June 26, when they face Houston.

“The way we set up, I think we’re a good road team,” goalkeeper Dan Kennedy said. “It’s important that we don’t look at it and think it’s a really tough task.” Added Hedges: “It’s tough to have one or two road games in a row, but five? You see how it is with Toronto and teams that had to go on extended road trips. It’s hard to get a lot of points. So we’ll need to play well.”

Hedges scored his first goal of the season, his first since Aug. 9, 2014. Hedges scored three league goals in each of his first three MLS seasons.

“We just made some poor choices with the ball. We gave the ball away in bad spots from easy balls and we can’t do that in this league,” Hedges said. “We gave the ball away in bad spots and it was a counter attack against us. We did that quite a lot, so that was the reason we were not getting a lot done.”

Michel made his first start since April 18, playing 53 minutes in his usual deep-lying midfield role, after coming off the substitutes’ bench for short stints each of the last two matches.

Ryan Hollingshead returned to the first XI after coming off the bench in the New York match, as Tesho Akindele was a substitute for the fifth time in the last six matches.

“It was one of those days. It’s hard to believe that we walked off the field with no points. When you’re not sharp finishing and you concede goals the way we did, there are no excuses,” Pareja said.

On Tuesday, FCD announced the signing of Panamanian midfielder Rolando Escobar. The 33-year-old Escobar was last with Venezuelan first-division side Deportivo Anzoátegui SC, where he played in 104 matches and scored 31 goals since 2011. He has also appeared in 33 matches for the Panamanian national team since 2006.

“Escobar is a player that can fit in anywhere in the midfield,” FC Dallas technical director Fernando Clavijo said. “He is more of an attacking player than a defensive player but the No. 1 thing he adds is experience.

Sporting KC Game Notes | May 29, 2015 vs. FC Dallas | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes

Sporting KC (4-2-6, 18 points) and FC Dallas (6-3-3, 21 points) square off for the second time this season and the 51st time in regular season history on Friday. Both teams have won 20 matches and drawn 10 in the series, while Sporting KC holds an 11-8-6 mark at home. Thirty-two of the 50 meetings occurred before 2005, when the clubs were rivals in the Western Conference. The fixture becomes more frequent again in 2015, with the third matchup set for September 18 at Sporting Park. The clubs last met at Toyota Stadium on March 14 (Week 2) when FC Dallas triumphed 3-1 behind a brace from Blas Perez and an insurance goal from Fabian Castillo. Roger Espinoza cancelled out Perez’s opener on the stroke of halftime, but the hosts struck twice in the second half to take the points. FC Dallas has made a habit of scoring late against Sporting KC—both recently and across series history. SKC has conceded 27 regular season goals against Dallas after the 75th minute, more than any other opponent in team history. Since 2011, SKC has dropped seven points in the final 15 minutes of the fixture. Neither side has posted a shutout in any of the last seven meetings.Recent regular season meetingsDate Score Result Details06/12/2011 KC 4 at DAL 1 W Zusi scores twice, sets up another08/27/2011 KC 2 vs DAL 3 L DAL scores in 70’, 89’ & 92’ to overturn 2-0 deficit03/25/2012 KC 2 vs DAL 1 W SKC erases deficit, Kamara scores winner in 89’ 06/22/2013 KC 2 at DAL 2 T DAL erases 2-0 deficit with goals in 88’ & 90’03/15/2014 KC 1 vs DAL 1 T Hedges scores in 90’ to cancel out Collin opener03/14/2015 KC 1 at DAL 3 L Perez brace & Castillo goal; Espinoza goal for KC

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTESLAST TIME OUT: SPORTING KC HOLDS SOUNDERS FC TO 0-0 DRAW Sporting KC stretched the club’s unbeaten streak to five games with a scoreless draw at Seattle last Saturday and became the first team to hold Sounders FC scoreless at CenturyLink Field in 2015. Anchored by captain Matt Besler, Sporting Kansas City’s defense allowed only one shot on goal—Seattle’s fewest at home in the past three seasons—for the team’s fifth clean sheet of the year. Seattle’s attack was led by U.S. Men’s National Team captain Clint Dempsey, whose seven goals and five assists rank him in the top three among MLS players to date. However, the Designated Player’s streak of 10 straight MLS matches with a goal or assist was snapped one shy of the all-time league record. Second half stoppage time had proven to be an Achilles heel for Sporting KC in the series history—conceding five game-winning goals after the 90th minute in the last seven meetings with Seattle—but the club nearly flipped the script. Benny Feilhaber picked up a pass from Krisztian Nemeth and struck a dipping shot from distance that required a sprawling save by Frei to preserve the clean sheet. SKC remains winless versus the West in 2015 (0-2-4) and still in search of the team’s first victory over Seattle since 2009. After prevailing 1-0 in the inaugural meeting, Sporting KC is 0-7-2 in the nine subsequent matches, the longest winless streak against any opponent in club history.

MARIN PARTS WAYS WITH SPORTING KC, KEMPIN RETURNS FROM LOAN Sporting KC announced Wednesday that the club has mutually agreed to part ways with goalkeeper Luis Marin. The 32-year-old will return to his native Chile due to personal considerations. Marin played Sporting KC’s first eight matches (2-2-4) of 2015 with 19 saves, three shutouts and a 1.50 goals against average. A member of Chile’s 2010 FIFA World Cup team, Marin has eight career international appearances. Additionally, homegrown goalkeeper Jon Kempin has returned from his loan with the San Antonio Scorpions and will be made active on Sporting Kansas City’s roster pending League approval. The Leawood, Kansas, native started two matches for the reigning NASL champions with five saves while on loan. The 22-year-old, is currently in his sixth season since becoming the team’s first homegrown player at age 17 and has made five career appearances for Sporting KC in all competitions. He earned his first selection to the U.S. Men’s National Team in January.

SKC SHOWING DEPTH AMIDST RASH OF INJURIES On May 20, Sporting KC dressed only six (out of the allotted seven) substitutes in the team’s 4-2 victory over New England at Sporting Park. Three days later, only five players were available on the bench for last Saturday’s 0-0 draw at Seattle after Dom Dwyer was a late scratch and missed his first match of the season. Dwyer joined a lengthy list of injured SKC players alongside Bernardo Anor, Marcel de Jong, Roger Espinoza, Mikey Lopez (on loan), Chance Myers, Paulo Nagamura, Ike Opara and Seth Sinovic. Add in the absence of Erik Palmer-Brown, currently on international duty with the U.S. Under-20 Men’s National Team, and Manager Peter Vermes was left to rely on his squad’s depth to secure back-to-back results against opponents sitting second in their conferences—first snapping the Revs’ nine-game unbeaten run and then becoming the only team this season to shut out Seattle on their home turf. No team in MLS has utilized more players in starting roles than SKC since the beginning of 2014—a total of 40 players. Despite this turnover in the lineup, including five starting goalkeepers, SKC is three games over .500 in regular season play since the start of 2014 and reached the postseason for a fourth straight year.

ROOKIES STEPPING UP Sporting KC’S all hands on deck approach has given ample opportunities for newcomers, including three rookies taken in the first round of the 2015 MLS SuperDraft: Amadou Dia, Connor Hallisey and Saad Abdul-Salaam. The trio shared the field last Wednesday and Saturday, marking the first MLS matches since Nov. 8, 2008 (Roger Espinoza, Jonathan Leathers, Matt Marquess) in which Sporting KC played three draft selections in the same game. To date, 14 of 20 MLS teams have called upon a total of 21 draft picks from the Class of 2015 for league minutes this season. However, Sporting KC is the only club to play three of them at any point—let alone in a single match—thus far in 2015.

VERMES ONE SHY OF 100 WINS AS SPORTING KC HEAD COACH Sporting KC manager Peter Vermes has won 99 matches in all competitions since taking over in August 2009. He will go for his 100th career victory on Friday against an FC Dallas side he defeated three times (3-4-2). Vermes is the only person to win MLS Cup as both a player (2000) and a coach (2013) for the same club. In addition to winning an MLS Cup championship in 2013, Vermes has guided Sporting KC to two regular season conference titles (2011, 2012) and a U.S. Open Cup title (defeating Seattle in the final at Sporting Park). The seventh-year head coach has won 80 regular season matches, tied with Octavio Zambrano for 11th most in MLS history and one shy of tying Dave Dir for 10th. He coached his 200th MLS match on May 20 and has logged an 85-64-52 league record including postseason. He has a 99-70-56 mark in all competitions.

GOALS FLYING IN Sporting KC exploded for four goals on May 20 en route to beating the New England Revolution 4-2 at Sporting Park. The output brought their total to 17 goals scored on the season, tied for third in MLS behind New England and Friday’s opponent FC Dallas (18 each). Coming not long after a 4-4 draw at Houston on April 25, SKC had scored four or more goals twice in a four-game span for the fourth time in team history and the first time since 2003. In addition, SKC won their second match this season when allowing two goals (4/5 and 5/20). The team won two such games in the previous three seasons combined.

NEMETH CATCHING FIRE Krisztian Nemeth bagged his first MLS brace on May 20 and now leads the team with five goals in 2015. All five of his shots on target this season have resulted in goals, making him one of only four players in MLS history to score on each of their first five shots on goal during the regular season (Charlie Davies, Jesse Marsch and Claudio Suarez). Nemeth turned in a comprehensive performance against New England, adding an assist to become the first SKC player since Graham Zusi in June 2011 to notch two goals and an assist in the same game. He also completed 25 of his 26 passes to lead the team with a passing accuracy clip of 96.1 percent. Acquired in December, Nemeth is a member of the Hungary Men’s National Team and boasts 10 years of professional experience in Europe. He played for the Liverpool FC Reserves from 2007-08 while also competing in Greece, Netherlands and his native Hungary. He most recently played for Roda JC Kerkrade of the Dutch second division in 2013-14.

DWYER CLIMBING THE GOAL CHARTS Dom Dwyer bagged SKC’s first goal in a 4-2 win over New England on May 20. The Englishman, who set SKC’s single-season record with 24 goals in all competitions last year, moved into a tie with Mo Johnston for sixth place on the club’s all-time scoring chart with his 32nd career goal in all competitions. Dwyer is nine goals shy of entering the top five on the club’s all-time scoring chart in all competitions. His .400 goals per game rate is second best in KC history (minimum 10 goals), behind only Miklos Molnar (.709) who scored 17 times over 24 games in 2000.Top goal scorers in Sporting KC history (all competitions) Player Years with KC Goals Appearances Goals/game1.

DAUNTING STRETCH OF MATCHES CONTINUES Sporting KC continues a daunting five-game stretch against opponents who qualified for the 2014 postseason. SKC defeated reigning Eastern Conference champion and 2014 MLS Cup finalist New England Revolution 4-2 on May 20 before holding Supporters’ Shield title holders Sounders FC to a 0-0 draw just three days later in Seattle. The team returns to Sporting Park on Friday to host Western Conference leaders FC Dallas (6-3-3, 21 pts.) before locking horns again with Seattle (6-3-2, 20 pts.) on June 6 at Sporting Park. Following their first bye week of the season, SKC will visit Rio Tinto Stadium on June 21, where Real Salt Lake (4-3-5, 17 pts.) has lost just twice since the beginning of 2014.

TOUGH TO BEAT Peter Vermes’ side has proven hard to beat during the first two months of the season. SKC came from behind to defeat New England 4-2 on May 20, then made a long trip to Seattle just three days later and held Sounders FC to a 0-0 draw. Earlier this month, SKC battled back to earn a 1-1 result at Eastern Conference leaders D.C. United. The team has now claimed seven points from games when conceding first (2-2-1 record), most in MLS. Furthermore, the club’s two losses through 12 games are their fewest to start a season since their historic 2000 campaign (10-0-2) in which Kansas City won MLS Cup and the Supporters’ Shield. The first of this year’s two defeats came on March 14 to Western Conference leaders FC Dallas, who now make the return trip to Kansas City for Friday’s marquee match-up at Sporting Park.Fewest losses to start a Sporting KC seasonSeason Losses Record through 12 games2000 0 9-0-2 (29 points)2003 2 5-2-5 (10 points)2015 2 4-2-6 (18 points)

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES (CONTINUED)SPORTING KC TRIO NAMED TO MLSSOCCER.COM TEAM OF THE WEEK Krisztian Nemeth, Benny Feilhaber and Amadou Dia received MLSsoccer.com Team of the Week recognition on Tuesday after helping Sporting KC earn four points from matches against the New England Revolution and Seattle Sounders FC. Nemeth and Feilhaber combined for three goals and three assists in the New England win, while Dia turned in two 90-minute performances at left back in place of the injured Seth Sinovic and Marcel de Jong.

IN-FORM DEFENDER IKE OPARA SIDELINED WITH RUPTURED ACHILLES Sporting KC announced on April 13 that defender Ike Opara has been diagnosed with a ruptured Achilles tendon in his left ankle. He suffered the injury in a scoreless draw between Sporting KC and Real Salt Lake on April 11. The 26-year-old had played every minute of the team’s first six games until that point after coming back from a season-ending surgery in his right ankle one year ago. At the time of his injury, Opara led Sporting KC (and all MLS defenders) with two goals in 2015, while also anchoring a backline that had three shutouts and conceded the fewest shots per game (9.8) of any team in the league. He led all players in 2015 with 30 interceptions and 33 aerials won, while ranking second in duels won (55). He was named to MLSsoccer.com’s Team of the Week in three of the season’s first four weeks and finished third in MLS Player of the Month voting for March.

FEILHABER ON PACE FOR CAREER SEASON From a playmaking perspective, Benny Feilhaber has raced out to one of the best starts in Kansas City history. The 30-year-old World Cup veteran leads MLS with seven assists and ranks tied for third with 32 chances created. Feilhaber, who won Etihad Airways MLS Player of the Month for April, is on pace for a career season and looks likely to receive MLS All-Star honors for the first time in 2015. With 22 league games still to play, his three goals are one shy of his regular season career-high while his seven assists match a career-high set in 2011. Feilhaber joined MLS in 2011, playing two seasons for New England before joining SKC ahead of the 2013 campaign. In a 4-2 win over his former club on May 20, the midfielder tallied one goal, two assists and surpassed 10,000 MLS minutes played (including postseason). Three days later in Seattle, Feilhaber created two scoring chances and nearly scored a spectacular game-winner in the 92nd minute only for Stefan Frei to make a diving save.

SPORTING KC A SET PIECE THREAT Through the first 12 weeks of the season, Sporting KC has been one of the league’s most dangerous teams on set pieces. In addition to scoring five goals directly off set pieces, the team has accumulated numerous statistics that illustrate their set piece prowess.

• Sporting KC leads MLS with 35 chances created from set plays (11 more than any other team) and six assists from set plays

• Sporting KC leads MLS with six headed goals• Benny Feilhaber (3) and Matt Besler (2) are two of five MLS players with

multiple assists from set plays.

MELIA STEPS UP Goalkeeper Tim Melia has started the last four matches for Sporting KC after serving as a longtime backup with two other MLS clubs. The sixth-year veteran was signed in the offseason after previously representing Real Salt Lake (2010-2011) and Chivas USA (2012-2014), where he backed up MLS All-Stars Nick Rimando (RSL) and Dan Kennedy (Chivas USA). In his club debut on May 3 at Sporting Park, Melia recorded the first win and shutout of his six-year MLS career as Sporting KC blanked the Chicago Fire 1-0. His solid outing between the posts, punctuated by three sure-handed saves—one of which was nominated for MLS Save of the Week—earned him BurgerFi Man of the Match honors and Team of the Week recognition from MLSsoccer.com and SI.com. Last Saturday in Seattle, he notched his second clean sheet as Sporting KC held reigning Supporters’ Shield champion Seattle to a 0-0 draw at CenturyLink Field.Most seasons prior to first shutout/victory in MLS historyPlayer Team 1st shutout 1st victoryTim Melia Sporting KC 6th season (2015) 6th season (2015)Chris Konopka Toronto FC 6th season (2015) 6th season (2015)Eric Kronberg Sporting KC 6th season (2011) 5th season (2010)

PALMER-BROWN AT FIFA U-20 WORLD CUP Sporting KC defender Erik Palmer-Brown has been selected to the United States Under-20 Men’s National Team roster for the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup, to be held from May 30 – June 20 in New Zealand. Palmer-Brown has joined the U-20 squad in Australia for training ahead of their first match of the tournament on May 30. Palmer-Brown has appeared in eight matches for Sporting KC across all competition, including a 90-minute outing in a 1-1 draw at D.C. United on May 9, since signing as a homegrown player in August 2013. He made his MLS debut in 2014 at age 17 and remains the youngest player to appear in a Major League Soccer match in club history. Palmer-Brown debuted with the United States Under-20 Men’s National Team as a 16-year-old in January 2014. He participated in the 2014 Dallas Cup with the U-20’s and has since participated in three of the team’s international training camps in Argentina (September 2014), England (March 2015) and Austria (April 2015). The United States is one of 24 countries to qualify for the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup. Coached by Tab Ramos, the Yanks were drawn into Group A alongside Myanmar (May 30), New Zealand (June 2) and Ukraine (June 5). The top two teams in each of the six groups – along with the top four overall third-placed teams – advance to the Round of 16 in the tournament’s Knockout Stage.

ROAD WARRIORS Sporting KC has won 30 away matches in MLS since the beginning of 2011, tied for most in MLS, including eight road wins in each of the previous three regular seasons. Their 24 road wins from 2012-2014 are the most of any MLS club over a three-year span during the non-shootout era (2000-present). Sporting KC is one of two MLS teams (Seattle Sounders FC) with a winning road record since the beginning of 2011, compiling a 30-29-20 mark away from home (including postseason).

Peter Vermes enters his seventh season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2015. He is the team’s second-longest serving head coach, and his .553 regular season winning percentage (80-60-50) is best in club history. During his tenure, he has won two major trophies – the 2012 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and the 2013 MLS Cup championship – as well as two MLS Eastern Conference regular season titles (2011, 2012). He is the second coach to lead Sporting KC to four straight postseason appearances, as well as the only person to ever win the MLS Cup as both a player and a coach with the same team. His 78

regular season wins are tied for 12th most in MLS history.

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

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, appearing 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 KC 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 successful seasons of his MLS career. During his first year in Kansas City, he anchored one of the best defenses in league history and won MLS Defender of the Year honors in helping lead the Wizards to the 2000 MLS Cup Championship. He retired in 2002 after appearing in 184 MLS matches and playing more than 16,000 minutes. He was nominated on the players’ ballot for the National Soccer Hall of Fame from 2007-2012. In 2013, Vermes became eligible for the veteran ballot and on October 11, 2013, Vermes was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame.

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

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

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.

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

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

Once his playing career was over, Pascarella began coaching as a member of Sasho Cirovski’s staff at Maryland. He then went on to

work in Northern Virginia youth soccer circles as a high school coach and Olympic Development Program coach before becoming the Head Coach and Technical Director of the Northern Virginia Royals of the USL’s Premier Development League for two seasons.

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

FC DALLAS INJURY REPORT NONE A THIRD OF THE WAY HOME 12 games into the 2015 campaign or a third of the way through the MLS regular season, FC Dallas currently occupies the top spot in the Western Conference. The last time FC Dallas ranked first in the conference 12 games into the season was the 2013 season. The 2013 FC Dallas (7‐2‐3, 24 points) team remained in first place through June 22, when the team drew Sporting Kansas City, 2‐2. REPLICA With nine assists in 35 career appearances, Mauro Diaz is currently tied with FC Dallas head coach Oscar Pareja in assists per game. From 1998 to 2005 Pareja netted 47 assists in 176 appearances or 0.26.7 per game, which is nearly exact to Diaz’s 25.7 per match. HEAD‐TO‐HEAD Pareja never had back‐to‐back two‐assist games as Diaz has this month, but El Generalito did accomplish the feat six times in his Dallas Burn career. Four of those two‐assist games came during the 2001 season. Pareja’s first two‐assist game came against the New York Red Bulls on June 24, 1998, when he was a member of the New England Revolution. NO TIES Since MLS allowed draws in the 2000 season, FC Dallas has tied 116 matches. A whopping 53% (62 of 116) of those draws came between the 2008 and 2013 seasons. FC Dallas has only drawn nine of 45 regular season matches since Oscar Pareja took over as head coach. NARROW FCD lost 2‐1 to the Montreal Impact last time out. The loss erased what was a perfect 3‐0‐0 record in matches decided by a single goal this season. HOMEGROWN DEPTH Dallas’ Homegrown players logged a league high 4,607 minutes or 14% of the team’s total minutes in 2014 (61GP, 50GS). Dallas is leading the charge in MLS again this season with 2,271 minutes (19.1%) played by Homegrown players Victor Ulloa, Moises Hernandez, Kellyn Acosta and Alejandro Zendejas. The LA Galaxy rank second with 1,934 minutes played. LATE GOALS VERSUS SPORTING In the last five matches against Sporting Kansas City, FC Dallas has a record of 2‐1‐2. In all but one of those matches, Sporting (Kei Kamara, 2012) or FC Dallas (Hedges 2014, Jacobson/Zimmerman 2013, Santos/Warshaw 2011) has scored a goal in the 88

th minute or later.

ASSISTING Fabian Castillo (5) is tied for third in MLS in assists. Benny Feilhaber (SKC) leads the league with seven. Castillo’s career‐high for a season is six (2013). GOALS AGAINST FC Dallas only gave up more than two goals in a match twice during the entire 2014 season. The club allowed a total of seven goals in back‐to‐back weeks in its only two losses this season – @ Portland on April 4 and vs. Colorado on April 10.

THE DIAZ 45+ Since Oscar Pareja was named head coach of FC Dallas, the club has only lost two games in matches that Mauro Diaz plays at least 45 minutes – a 3‐2 loss to Seattle at Toyota Stadium on April 12 and last weekend’s 2‐1 loss to Montreal. That’s 20 games with a record of 13‐2‐5. Diaz went the full 90 minutes in each of the last three matches. It is the first time in his MLS career that Diaz has gone the full match three games in a row. ONE OF DALLAS’ BEST EVER: BLAS PEREZ Dallas’ leading scorer the past three seasons, Blas Perez equaled his MLS‐high last season with 11 goals in 29 appearances. He also (6) surpassed his previous MLS‐high for assists in a season (4 in 2012). Ranks third all‐time in FCD history with 36 goals. • Kenny Cooper (46) ranks second in FCD history. Ranks second all‐time in FCD history in scoring percentage: • Blas Perez (36G on 177 shots = 20%) • Jeff Cunningham ranks first (33G on 153 shots = 21.6%) Ranks fourth all‐time in FCD history with five multi‐goal games. • Jason Kreis ranks first with 10. CROSS ‘EM OFF THE LIST Of the 17 MLS teams that Blas Perez has faced, he has scored against all but three (Chicago, 1GP, Houston 2GP and the New York Red Bulls 4GP with two assists). The latest team to be crossed off the list was Sporting Kansas City earlier this season. Perez had not scored against the 2013 MLS Cup Champions in three previous meetings but tallied twice in Dallas, 3‐1 win on March 14. STREAKY DEFENSE The FC Dallas backline began the season on a historic run, allowing only one goal in four matches before April 4. Dallas allowed nine goals in the next three games before settling in against Colorado on April 24. Since then, Dallas has allowed a goal per game in its last five matches. MORE TO COME FC Dallas scored its only set piece goal of 2015 against Portland on April 4. In 2014 the team knocked in 15 set piece goals and another seven penalty kicks. TARHEEL TANDEM In the last two seasons, Zach Loyd and Matt Hedges, both from the University of North Carolina, have been paired together as center backs 20 times. In those matches, FC Dallas has an 11‐5‐4 record with seven shutouts. THE FUTURE Victor Ulloa’s FC Dallas career was saved when his former academy head coach and current head coach, Oscar Pareja returned to Dallas. Ulloa had played only nine minutes in MLS in three years before 2014. Pareja leaned on Ulloa heavily in Dallas’ central midfield last season – starting him in 33 consecutive matches across all competitions. Ulloa has played every minute for Pareja so far in 2015, running his consecutive‐appearance streak to 45. ROOKIE OF THE YEAR MLS’ 2014 Rookie of the Year and the only RotY in FC Dallas history, Tesho Akindele has appeared in 43 matches in a row (across all competitions) since making his first professional start in a 2‐1 loss to San Jose on May 1, 2014.

REINFORCEMENTS FC Dallas signed Panamanian midfielder Rolando Escobar, pending the receipt of his P‐1 visa and ITC, on Tuesday, May 26. Escobar joins FC Dallas from Venezuelan first division side Deportivo Anzoátegui SC, where he has played in 104 matches and scored 31 goals since 2011. He has also appeared in 33 matches for the Panamanian National Team since 2006. FRANCHISE TAG Only 22 years old, Fabian Castillo has already played 119 matches for FCD. Considered one of the fastest players in MLS, Castillo signed a new contract with FC Dallas on Feb. 10 which runs through the 2019 season. Castillo (214) surpassed Bobby Rhine (204) for fourth all‐time in shots on May 9. Castillo ranks seventh all‐time in FCD history with 87 shots on goal. Is seventh all‐time in FCD history with eight game‐winning goals. Ranks eighth all‐time in game‐winning assists (7). CURRENT AGE Vancouver (23.6), Orlando (24), Dallas (24.12) and Colorado (24.9) are the only four teams in MLS with an average roster age under 25. DALLAS LOANS GARCIA TO ARIZONA UNITED SC On April 27, FC Dallas announced it had loaned Homegrown midfielder Danny Garcia to its United Soccer Leagues affiliate Arizona United Soccer Club. Garcia, 21, remains eligible for recall by FC Dallas at any point of the 2015 season. Garcia played 142 minutes for Arizona in the past two matches. FRANCHISE RECORDS FC Dallas tied a club record by scoring 55 goals last season (1997 and 2014). With 18 goals in 12 games, FC Dallas is currently on pace to score 51 times this season. FC DALLAS SIGNS MLS‐BEST 13

TH HOMEGROWN PLAYER

Alejandro Zendejas, who signed as FC Dallas’ league‐leading 13th

Homegrown player on Oct. 1, re‐joined the team on March 16, after helping the U.S. Under‐17 National Team qualify for the 2015 FIFA U‐17 World Cup in Chile. He made his professional debut in a 4‐1 win against Houston on May 1. HOMEGROWN HISTORY When Alejandro Zendejas subbed into the match at Houston on May 1, FC Dallas made franchise history by having four Homegrown players on the field at the same time. Zendejas joined Victor Ulloa, Moises Hernandez and Kellyn Acosta. The average age of the four Homegrown players was just over 20 years old. ROADTRIPING FC Dallas is currently in the middle of its longest stretch of consecutive away matches in franchise history. The five‐game swing started on May 23 and will end on June 19. Dallas played in Montreal last weekend, Kansas City this week, San Jose on June 7, Seattle on June 13 and Colorado on June 19. The team returns home to face Houston on June 26. The previous franchise record for consecutive league matches away from Dallas was four games from Aug. 12 to Aug. 30, 2006. During that stretch – the entire month of August 2006 – Dallas compiled a record of 1‐3‐0 despite allowing just four goals in four games. Regardless, FC Dallas finished the 2006 season with the best record in the Western Conference, 16‐12‐4, 52 points – just three points behind Supporters Shield winners D.C United (15‐7‐10, 55 points). PENALTY! There were 14 penalty kicks awarded for or against FC Dallas last season or 0.411 per match. This season there have been two (0.16 per match). The first was awarded to Sporting KC on March 14, taken by Dom Dwyer and saved by FC Dallas goalkeeper Chris Seitz. The second came last week in a 2‐1 loss to Montreal.

ATIBA @ RIGHT BACK Since selecting Atiba Harris in the MLS Re‐Entry Draft and converting him to right back, FC Dallas is 4‐1‐1 when starting the St. Kitts and Nevis native on defense. The team has a goals against average of 1.00 in those matches. SHOTS FC Dallas put eight shots on goal against Montreal last week – the most so far this season. It was also a season high for total shots (21) and corner kicks (15). The last time Dallas took 23 shots was July 19, 2014 in a 2‐0 win against New England. FC Dallas put 10 shots on goal in a 5‐0 win against San Jose on Aug. 16 and took 16 corner kicks in a 2‐1 win against Toronto on April 19. U‐20 WORLD CUP On May 7, Homegrown midfielder Kellyn Acosta was named to the U.S. Under‐20 Men's National Team for the 2015 FIFA U‐20 World Cup in New Zealand, which runs from May 30 to June 20. Before departing on May 16, Acosta had logged 264 minutes in FC Dallas’ last three matches. The U.S. U‐20 team was drawn into Group A with host New Zealand, Ukraine and Myanmar. The team opens group play against Myanmar at 11 p.m. CT on May 30 in Whangarei, New Zealand, followed by matches with New Zealand on June 2 and Ukraine on June 5, both of which will be played in Auckland. All of the U.S.'s group matches will be broadcast live on FOX Sports 1 and NBC Universo.
