MLS GAME INFORMATION

SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs PHILADELPHIA UNION SPORTING PARK, Kansas City, Kan.

Aug. 1, 2014 (WEEK 21, MLS Game #193) 7 p.m. CT (NBCSN; TSN2) Sporting Kansas City return home and put their long winning streak on the line when they play host to Philadelphia Union on Friday evening at Sporting Park before an NBC Sports Network audience. Sporting extended their lead atop the Eastern Conference and MLS overall table with a fifth consecutive win away from home – and fourth in a row overall – last weekend with a 2-1 victory at Toronto FC. Union are riding a three-game undefeated streak of their own, coming back for another last draw with a 1-1 tie at the Chicago Fire in their last league match. REFEREE: Jair Marrufo.

The teams are meeting for the second time this season. Cristian Maidana’s goal quickly answered a late Dom Dwyer and gave Union a 2-1 win, May 14 at Sporting Park.

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: first game … Peter Vermes vs. PHI: P10 W4 L3 T3 LAST MEETING (MLS)

Union took the lead four minutes after the break. Cristian Maidana skipped past a defender on the left and unleashed a shot that KC goalkeeper Eric Kronberg could only parry in front of goal. Danny Cruz was quickest to the rebound and poked it into the back of the net.

Sporting drew even with 10 minutes to play. Dom Dwyer, who had come on as a 71st-minute substitute, played a one-two with Paulo Nagamura, firing the return pass into the top center of the goal from right on the edge of the area.

But barely a minute later, Union were back on top. After Andrew Wenger was able to control a loose ball in the SKC box, he played it square to Maidana, who turned home a shot while completely unmarked in the heart of the area for the eventual match-winner.

Union had to play shorthanded through second-half stoppage time, after late substitute Corben Bone drew a straight red card from referee Ricardo Salazar for a serious foul on Jacob Peterson just seconds after entering the match.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Eric Kronberg - Igor Juliao, Aurelien Collin (Lawrence Olum 61), Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic - Oriol Rosell - Paulo Nagamura, Benny Feilhaber - Sal Zizzo (Jacob Peterson 55), Claudio Bieler (Dom Dwyer 71), Graham Zusi.

PHILADELPHIA UNION (4-2-3-1): Zac MacMath - Raymon Gaddis, Sheanon Williams, Austin Berry, Fabinho - Vincent Nogueira (Corben Bone 89; ejected 90), Amobi Okugo - Danny Cruz (Sebastien Le Toux 83), Leo Fernandes, Cristian Maidana (Aaron Wheeler 92+) - Andrew Wenger.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City extended their series of winning and undefeated streaks, coming back for a 2-1 win against Toronto FC on Saturday evening at BMO Field. Sporting lead the Eastern Conference with 38 points from 21 games.


LAST MATCH The home side took the lead in the 16th minute. Dominic Oduro took a lovely first touch out of the air past a

defender, then slipped a through ball to find Jackson rushing into the box, and he rounded SKC 'keeper Andy Gruenebaum before slotting home with ease.

But Sporting drew even just three minutes after the halftime break. After a scramble in the area saw the ball squirt out to the edge of the area, Graham Zusi latched onto it and curled the ball into an open net for the equalizer.

TFC were given a big leg up in the 75th minute when Oduro burst past KC defender Matt Besler and forced him into making a foul, one that saw the defender pick up his second yellow card of the night from referee Ted Unkel.

But SKC overcame the disadvantage to find the winner. A poor clearance attempt landed at the foot of Jacob Peterson, and he slotted home for the winner in the 80th minute.

Sporting manager Peter Vermes made two changes to the team that defeated the LA Galaxy 2-1 at Sporting Park. Mikey Lopez and C.J. Sapong came into the team in place of Soony Saad and Antonio Dovale.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Andy Gruenebaum - Igor Juliao, Aurelien Collin, Matt Besler (ejected 75), Seth Sinovic (Kevin Ellis 55) - Lawrence Olum - Mikey Lopez (Jacob Peterson 77), Benny Feilhaber - C.J. Sapong (Soony Saad 71), Dom Dwyer, Graham Zusi.

TEAM NEWS Sporting won their fifth consecutive game away from home with the victory against Toronto FC. It matches the

club’s longest road winning streak and is the longest in MLS since 2005, when San Jose won five straight away games. The MLS record is seven road wins in a row, set in 1997 by the LA Galaxy and in 1999 by D.C. United.

“These are huge, huge points on the road,” SKC manager Peter Vermes said, “especially given the fact that Toronto has games in hand. We've always said in the past, when we've been in that position, that those games don't mean anything unless you get the points. So these were huge, huge points for us in a game like this – with the kind of firepower they brought in this year, the kind of investments they made, it's huge on our part.”

It was also Sporting’s fourth consecutive win overall, the club’s longest since winning nine in a row over the end of the 2011 season and the start of 2012.

SKC also extended their overall undefeated run to seven matches (6-0-1), their last league loss coming in a 1-0 defeat at D.C. United on May 31. It’s the club’s longest unbeaten run since going 13 games without defeat over the end of 2012 and start of 2013.

“You have to know what you are going after. Last year the thing that really resonated with our team was that if you put yourself in a good position towards the end of the season in the table and through the playoffs, there is a chance of home advantage in the MLS Cup Final. That notion is a very big carry at the end of the year,” said Vermes.

Graham Zusi scored his first goal in MLS play since March 29, when he netted against Colorado. Zusi started in a forward role vs. TFC, after playing in the midfield in the previous match, his second start following his return from the FIFA World Cup.

Making his fourth consecutive start following his return from the FIFA World Cup, Matt Besler was sent off with a quarter-hour to play and will miss out on the Philadelphia match. It was the second consecutive match where SKC had a center back sent off, after Aurelien Collin was ejected late in the LA Galaxy match.

“We're actually going to start the next game down a man,” Vermes joked. “We're just going to play a 4-4-1. That's what we're going to do, going forward.”

There was also an injury-forced change in the second half when left back Seth Sinovic had to come off after suffering a right groin strain in the 55th minute.

“It is difficult to come into a place like this and get points when it is 11 vs 11 and more importantly when you lose a man,” said Vermes. “It just goes to show that not only is the experience starting to come out, that strong mentality of you might bend me a little but you aren’t going to break me. Guys are showing that here, a lot of the young guys were getting experience early as we were missing so many guys, are now contributing and helping us get points.”

PHILADELPHIA UNION Philadelphia Union return to league action after a weekend away, reaching a 1-1 draw with the Chicago Fire in their last match, July 19 at Toyota Park. Union are in a tie for sixth place in the Eastern Conference with 23 points from 21 games. LAST MATCH

The Fire took the lead in 60th minute. Harry Shipp put in a corner from the right and Jeff Larentowicz freed himself for a clear header from the heart of the box.

But the match turned in stoppage time. A speculative volley from Sebastien Le Toux at the top of the box hit Gonzalo Segares on the upper part of his right arm, and referee Geoff Gamble awarded a spot kick. Le Toux made no mistake with the ensuing penalty and Union came away with a crucial point from the road.


Union interim manager Jim Curtin made three changes to the team that defeated the New York Red Bulls 3-1 at PPL Park. Danny Cruz, Amobi Okugo and Michael Lahoud all came into the midfield, replacing Brian Carroll, Cristian Maidana and Andrew Wenger.

PHILADELPHIA UNION (4-4-2): Zac MacMath - Sheanon Williams, Ethan White, Maurice Edu, Raymon Gaddis (Brian Brown 81) - Danny Cruz (Andrew Wenger 61), Amobi Okugo (Fred 69), Michael Lahoud, Vincent Nogueira - Conor Casey, Sebastien Le Toux

TEAM NEWS Union extended their modest undefeated streak to three games (1-0-2) with the late draw at Chicago, having

lost just once in five games since Jim Curtin took charge on an interim basis. “Any time you get a goal in the 89th minute, you’re happy with that. You take the point and you move on,” said

Curtin. “Again, disappointed that we gave up a goal because I didn’t think in the run of play that we didn’t give up a whole lot of chances. I thought we were organized, we created enough to score ourselves but I am proud of our guys. They fought hard, third game in the week. It is a good result on the road.”

Sebastien Le Toux scored his eighth goal of the season, converting a penalty kick in stoppage time. Le Toux has scored five goals in the last six games, five of those coming as a starter since he was installed into the lineup by Curtin.

With Union, Le Toux is now 11-for-11 from the penalty spot in league matches. He has scored 36 goals in four seasons with Philadelphia. The last two goals scored by Union have been Le Toux penalties.

“It’s good. I’m lucky because of penalty kicks this year, I scored some of those, but to score for the team, it’s good, and I hope to continue score, and I just want us to win games. If I score, I think it’s a good thing,” said Le Toux.

The lone goal conceded by Union came from a corner kick. Union have now allowed eight goals from set pieces from 35 total goals allowed, tied for the most in MLS (along with Real Salt Lake).

“It’s something we’ve kind of harped on and [needing to] improve our set pieces defensively. We have given up too many goals on that. So we will look at the tape but it was a free header from Larentowicz,” said Curtin. “I don’t know if there was a pick or anything, but guys got to fight through and communicate, or change guys, or sort it out quicker. It was such a free header that Jeff got a lot on it and you’d like to see someone jump with him.”

Amobi Okugo returned to the lineup after a one-match absence, again playing in a central midfield role with Maurice Edu returning to central defense.

Michael Lahoud also returned to the team after a one-match absence, while Brian Brown made his MLS debut, coming on for the final nine minutes.

“Third match in eight days but we also had some build in rest with some red cards with our team so we had fresh legs in the center of the field,” said Curtin. “That was the idea for the day. We were organized, we didn’t give up a lot of chances in the run of play.”

In their week away from league play, Union played Crystal Palace FC of the English Premier League, falling 1-0 with the lone goal coming on an own goal.

Here’s the Union team: Andre Blake, Fabinho, Austin Berry (Michael Lahoud 73’), Ethan White (Pedro Ribeiro 46’), Raymon Gaddis (Sheanon Williams 46’), Maurice Edu (Brian Carroll 73’), Vincent Nogueira (Amobi Okugo 46’), Fred (Corbin Bone 46’), Danny Cruz (Aaron Wheeler 46’), Andrew Wenger (Sebastien Le Toux 46’), Brian Brown (Antoine Hoppenot 73’)

On Wednesday, Union announced the acquisition of Algerian international goalkeeper Rais Mbolhi. The 28-year-old Mbolhi led Algeria to the knockout round of the FIFA World Cup for the first time in his country’s history in Brazil.

Besler and Zusi sign Designated Player contracts with Sporting KC

Sporting KC signed defender Matt Besler and midfielder Graham Zusi to long-term Designated Player contracts on July 19. Per club policy, additional terms of the agreements will not be disclosed.

An Overland Park native, Besler became the first player from the state of Kansas to play in a FIFA World Cup when he started all four matches for the United States in Brazil this summer. The 27-year-old centerback debuted for the U.S. in January 2013 and has 21 career international appearances, including all three knockout round games en route to the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup title.

Besler was named captain of the reigning MLS Cup champions prior to the 2014 season and was recognized as the Kansas City Sports Commission Sportsman of the Year in April. Besler has made 149 MLS appearances (including postseason) with two goals and seven assists since being drafted by Kansas City in the first round of the 2009 MLS SuperDraft out of Notre Dame.

Zusi is also coming off a strong performance at the 2014 FIFA World Cup. He appeared in all four games for head coach Jurgen Klinsmann and contributed assists in back-to-back group stage games against Ghana and Portugal. The 27-year-old has earned 27 career international appearances with three goals and six assists in a U.S. Men’s National Team jersey.

Taken in the second round of the 2009 MLS SuperDraft as a two-time national champion at the University of Maryland, Zusi has recorded 19 goals and 40 assists in 146 MLS matches (including postseason) over six professional seasons with Sporting KC.

Sporting KC has won five consecutive MLS matches away from Sporting Park, notching victories at the Houston Dynamo (June 6), Portland Timbers (June 27), Montreal Impact (July 12), Columbus Crew (July 16) and Toronto FC (July 26). The five-game road winning streak ties the fourth longest in MLS history and second longest in non-shootout era (2000-present). The San Jose Earthqaukes secured six straight away wins in 2005, a feat that could be matched if Sporting KC defeats the Vancouver Whitecaps on Aug. 10.

Sporting KC leads MLS with seven road wins and is the only team with three road clean sheets. Since the beginning of 2011, no team has more regular season road victories (27) or shutout road wins (13) than Sporting KC.

Gruenebaum makes history in first four starts for Sporting KC

Goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum has a perfect 4-0-0 record since replacing injured Eric Kronberg on July 12. He becomes just the second goalkeeper in MLS history (Jorge Campos, 1996 LA Galaxy) to earn regulation wins in each of his first four regulation appearances for a new club.

Gruenebaum began his 2014 MLS campaign with a 2-1 win at Montreal, then notched three more 2-1 victories against the Columbus Crew (July 16), LA Galaxy (July 19) and Toronto FC (July 26) as Sporting KC surged atop the Eastern Conference standings. The Overland Park, Kansas native previously made 82 MLS appearances for the Crew (including postseason) from 2006-2013.

Besler, Collin and Zusi selected to MLS All-Star gameday roster

Matt Besler, Aurelien Collin and Graham Zusi were named to the 2014 MLS All-Star gameday roster on July 19 and will represent Sporting KC when the MLS All-Stars face Bayern Munich on Aug. 6.

Besler has twice collected MLS Best XI (2012, 2013) honors and is a three-time MLS All-Star (2011, 2013, 2014). He was awarded MLS Defender of the Year in 2012 before being named a finalist again in 2013. Besler was Sporting KC’s Defensive Player of the Year each of the past three seasons.

Collin earns MLS All-Star honors for a third consecutive year after signing with Sporting KC in April 2011. The 28-year-old centerback was a member of the MLS Best XI each of the last two seasons and was a Defender of the Year finalist in 2012. His 15 goals are most among defenders in MLS competition since 2011.

Zusi is also an All-Star for the third straight season. The midfielder was named to the MLS Best XI each of the last two years and was an MLS MVP finalist in 2012 after leading the League with a career-high 15 assists in the regular season (third most in a single-season in club history). In 2013, Zusi was named the team’s Offensive Player of the Year, was nominated for Best MLS Player at the ESPYS and was the top rated midfielder in the MLS Castrol Index. He has been voted Sporting KC’s Most Valuable Player each of the last two years.

Dwyer’s standout season continues

Forward Dom Dwyer ranks tied for second in MLS with 14 goals and has already climbed into third place on the club’s single season scoring chart. With 13 matches still remaining, he needs five more goals to pass Preki’s long-standing single season record (18). In a victory at Montreal on July 12, Dwyer became one of only 10 players in MLS history to score six or more regular season goals against the same opponent in a single year and the first to do so in the League’s expansion era (2005 to present).

Dwyer’s four multi-goal games -- he also scored twice against Toronto on May 23 -- are most in MLS this season and tied for sixth most in team history, and his nine left-footed strikes are three more than any other player. His 73 shots and 31 shots on target rank first and second in MLS.

Vermes and Sporting KC boast strong record in Canada

Sporting KC’s eight MLS regular season victories all-time on Canadian soil are tied for most among American clubs. Since MLS expanded north of the American border with Toronto FC in 2007, Sporting KC has an 8-4-5 record against Canadian clubs on the road (4-3-3 at Toronto FC, 3-1-1 at Montreal Impact, 1-0-1 at Vancouver Whitecaps).

Following Sporting KC’s 2-1 win at Toronto FC on July 26, manager Peter Vermes improved to 8-1-3 all-time against the Reds. His .792 winning percentage in the series is his best against any club and second highest of any active coach against Toronto (min. 2 games). Among managers with 10 regular season matches under their belts against a single opponent, only three other coaches have better winning percentages against a single team in MLS history (Bruce Arena, 7-1-2 vs. Vancouver Whitecaps; Bob Bradley, 9-1-2 vs. Tampa Bay Mutiny, Octavio Zambrano, 11-2-1 vs. Colorado Rapids and 12-2-1 vs. New England Revolution).

Injuries and international duty test Sporting KC’s depth

Through 21 games in the 2014 MLS regular season, Sporting KC has featured 21 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. On July 9, starting goalkeeper Eric Kronberg broke the fourth metacarpal in his left hand and was ruled out eight weeks, giving Andy Gruenebaum his first Sporting KC start in MLS competition.

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 and Aurelien Collin have served one-game suspensions, with the latter also picking up a minor injury.

As a result, 27 different players have started an MLS match for the club this season, most in the League. Of those 27 players, 11 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.

Claros and Steuble make club debuts in Champions Shield friendly

After signing for the club on July 16, Honduran midfielder Jorge Claros and Swiss-Filipino midfielder Martin Steuble saw their first action in a Sporting KC jersey against Manchester City FC on July 23. Claros played the entire second half and Steuble played the final 15 minutes as Sporting KC suffered a 4-1 friendly defeat to the reigning English Premier League champions, who were presented the Champions Shield after the game.

Claros has played 53 games for the Honduras Men’s National Team and has scored three goals since making his debut in 2006. The 28-year-old midfielder made eight appearances during Honduras’ successful World Cup qualifying campaign and featured in all three matches at the 2014 FIFA World Cup alongside former Sporting KC midfielder Roger Espinoza. He signs from Honduran club Club Deportivo Motagua, where he won domestic league titles during the 2007-08 Apertura and 2010-11 Clausura.

Steuble joins Sporting KC after seven years of professional soccer in Switzerland, most recently with Swiss Challenge League club FC Wil 1900. The 26-year-old has featured nine times for the Philippines Men’s National Team since making his international debut in March of this year.

Supporters’ Shield race heats up ahead of Sporting Park homestand

Tied with Seattle in the MLS Supporters Shield race, Sporting KC hosts four of their next five MLS games with home dates against Philadelphia, Toronto FC (Aug. 16), D.C. United (Aug 23), and Houston Dynamo (Aug. 29).

Lawrence Olum on international duty with Kenya

Lawrence Olum is on international duty with Kenya as the Harambee Stars face Lesotho in the second round of 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying. Kenya hosts Lesotho in the second leg on Aug. 3 and will have to overturn a 1-0 deficit in order to reach the next round of qualifying.

Olum, who boasts a 9-1-1 record as a starter this season, made his first two competitive international appearances in May as Kenya defeated Comoros in the two-legged first round of qualifying.

Paying the penalty

Sporting KC has conceded five penalty kicks through 21 matches this year, already two shy of equaling the most for a single season in club history. The team conceded seven penalties in 1998 and 2007 and six penalties in 2000 and 2006.

This follows a League-wide trend, as 91 penalty kicks have been awarded through 188 MLS matches (0.48 per game, as of July 29). The whole 2013 regular season had 81 penalties (0.25 per game), while the 2012 campaign had 72 penalties (0.22 per game).

Red cards rising

Sporting KC has suffered seven red cards and received six during the 2014 season. The combined 13 ejections through 21 matches already surpass the club’s 2013 total of 10. Much like penalty kicks, red card numbers have increased League-wide this season. An average of 0.30 red cards have been shown per game (through July 29), up from 0.24 in 2013 and 0.18 in 2012.

First half lockdown

Sporting KC has allowed six first half goals in MLS matches this season, second fewest of any team. Two of those six goals were penalty kicks, meaning Sporting KC has allowed just four first half goals from the run of play in 2014 MLS competition.

CONCACAF Champions League schedule determined

CONCACAF has announced the dates and times for the 2014-15 CONCACAF Champions League group stage. Sporting KC is paired with Nicaraguan club Real Esteli and Costa Rican club Deportivo Saprissa in Group 2.

For the second straight year, Sporting KC will open the tournament at Real Esteli on Tuesday, August 19 at 9 p.m. CT. Sporting KC defeated Real Esteli 2-0 in their CCL opener in August 2013 and drew Esteli a month later 1-1 at Sporting Park. The defending MLS Cup champions will then return home for back-to-back matches at Sporting Park, hosting Saprissa on Thursday, Sept. 18 and Esteli on Tuesday, Sept. 23. Both matches will kick off at 7 p.m. CT. Sporting KC will conclude the group stage on Thursday, Oct. 23 at Saprissa.

The team with the most points at the conclusion of the CCL group stage will advance to the quarterfinal round in spring 2015. Peter Vermes’ men advanced to the 2013-14 quarterfinals in March against Mexican club and eventual champion Cruz Azul, losing 5-2 on aggregate.

Deportivo Saprissa has won three CONCACAF Champions Cup titles (1993, 1995 and 2005) and features two players, Michael Umana and Yeltsin Tejeda, who helped Costa Rica advance to the 2014 FIFA World Cup quarterfinals. In May, Saprissa won their 30th league title in the Torneo de Verano final to become the most successful club in the history of the Costa Rican Primera Division.

Real Esteli, the defending Clausura and Apertura champions in their domestic league, are the only Nicaraguan side to have participated in the competition and have qualified every year since the 2008-09 edition.

Sporting Park sellout streak

Sporting Park has sold out 46 straight MLS matches, including four playoff games. The last time Sporting KC didn’t play in front of a sellout crowd was March 25, 2012. Since opening in June 2011, the venue has sold out 59 of 67 MLS matches and averaged 19,260 spectators, 104.3 percent of its 18,500 capacity.

Through 10 MLS matches of the 2014 home campaign, Sporting Park’s average attendance is 20,007. The stadium’s 108.3 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).

Kempin and Palmer-Brown selected to inaugural Homegrown Game

Sporting KC Academy products Jon Kempin and Erik Palmer-Brown have been named to the 20-player roster for the 2014 Chipotle MLS Homegrown Game. The inaugural event will feature the League’s top Homegrown players against the Portland Timbers U-23s on Aug. 4 at Providence Park in Portland, Oregon as part of the festivities leading up to the 2014 AT&T MLS All-Star Game on Aug. 6.

Kempin was Sporting KC’s first Homegrown player upon signing in 2010 at age 17 and is now in his fifth professional season. The Leawood, Kansas native most recently joined the United States U-21 Men’s National Team in April and has also trained with the U.S. U-23 Men’s National Team.

Palmer-Brown became the youngest signing in club history at age 16 in August 2013 and is the youngest active player in MLS. The Lee’s Summit, Missouri native has logged five appearances for Sporting KC in all competition in 2014 and made his professional debut in May, becoming the youngest player in MLS history to start a regular season match as a defender. Palmer-Brown represented the United States at the U-15, U-17 and U-18 levels in 2013 en route to being named one of five finalists for U.S. Soccer’s Young Male Athlete of the Year. He most recently was a member of the U.S. Under-20 Men’s National Team that finished runners-up at the 2014 Dallas Cup in April.

Kronberg ruled out with fractured fourth metacarpal

Sporting KC goalkeeper Eric Kronberg fractured the fourth metacarpal bone on his left hand during training on July 9. Surgery is not required and his approximate date of return is early September.

Kronberg leads MLS with seven shutouts and a 0.88 goals against average (minimum 400 minutes played) in 2014. The ninth-year professional is the club’s longest tenured player. Only one player (Davy Arnaud) in club history 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), Landon Donovan (10) and Gonzalo Segares (10).

Sporting KC signs midfielder Michael Kafari

Sporting KC signed 22-year-old Michael Kafari on July 8. The native of Accra, Ghana moved to the United States in 2001 and helped lead the University of New Mexico to a 58-16-12 record with three goals and three assists during his collegiate career from 2010-2013. New Mexico became one of only three college programs to reach the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet Sixteen each of the last three seasons, beginning in 2011 when Kafari and the Lobos were eliminated by Dom Dwyer and the University of South Florida in a penalty shootout.

The Vancouver Whitecaps selected Kafari in the third round of the 2014 MLS SuperDraft (No. 51 overall). He signed with their USL PRO affiliate Charleston Battery in mid-March after spending preseason with the Canadian club and made his competitive debut for Charleston on May 28 in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup third round.



Sporting KC a consistent contender in MLS

Since the beginning of 2011, Sporting KC has the second-best aggregate regular season record and the best road record of all MLS teams. During this time period, Sporting KC has won two major trophies -- the 2012 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and the 2013 MLS Cup -- and is the only club with multiple conference regular season titles (2011, 2012).

Team Manager Jim Curtin on match vs. Chicago Fire:

‐ (On grinding out a road tie) “Any time you get a goal in the 89th minute, you’re happy with

that. You take the point and you move on. Again, disappointed that we gave up a goal because I

didn’t think in the run of play that we didn’t give up a whole lot of chances. I thought we were

organized, we created enough to score ourselves but I am proud of our guys. They fought hard,

third game in the week. It is a good result on the road.”

‐ (On facing Sporting Kansas City next) “They’re the champs. They are the team that’s in great

form and they are a top team in the league, and they are coming off a good win against the

Galaxy today at their place which is a very tough place to play. It’s a place that we went in last

time and played there and we beat them. We are a confident group right now, we are on a good

run. It’s been very positive and the guys in the locker room are happy. We are excited.”

Sebastien Le Toux on match vs. Chicago Fire:

‐ (on his 8th goal of the season) “It’s good. I’m lucky because of penalty kicks this year, I scored

some of those, but to score for the team, it’s good, and I hope to continue score, and I just want

us to win games. If I score, I think it’s a good thing.”

Zac MacMath on match vs. Chicago Fire:

‐ (on the match) “It wasn’t the prettiest of games but I think we are happy to get out of here

with a one‐one draw, by getting a penalty kick late in the game, we’ll take it. The game was

pretty compact, not a lot of offense going on. A lot of defensive plays, and I think credit goes to

the guys dealing with Magee and Amarikwa up top.

‐ (on facing Kansas City next) “Hopefully we can take this defensive effort and take it into Kansas

City again. It’s been a place where we’ve played pretty well in the past, and hopefully continue

the momentum for the second half of the season.”
