SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs REAL SALT LAKE SPORTING PARK, Kansas City, Kan.

April 11, 2015 (WEEK 6, MLS Game #52) 7:30 p.m. CT (KMCI-38; KMYU-12)

The MLS Cup finalists just two seasons ago, Sporting Kansas City and Real Salt Lake meet for the only time during the league campaign when the clubs clash Saturday evening at Sporting Park. SKC have won back-to-back matches, their last win an historic comeback in stoppage time to take a 3-2 home triumph against Philadelphia Union last Sunday. Real are still undefeated on the season following their second win on the trot, a 1-0 win at the San Jose Earthquakes last Sunday. REFEREE: Jorge Gonzalez. AR1 (bench): Greg Barkey; AR2 (opposite): Kyle Atkins; 4th: Chris Penso MLS Career: 111 games; FC/gm: 25.2; Y/gm: 3.3; R: 36; pens: 28 SUSPENDED: none DISABLED LIST: none INTERNATIONAL ABSENCES: none HEAD-TO-HEAD ALL-TIME (17 meetings): Sporting 8 wins, 23 goals … Real 5 wins, 20 goals … Ties 4 AT KANSAS CITY (9 meetings): Sporting 5 wins, 12 goals … Real 1 win, 7 goals … Ties 3 LAST YEAR (MLS): 4/5: KC 0, RSL 0

This is the only league meeting between the teams this season. MLS Cup 2013 opponents, the clubs reached a scoreless draw in their lone meeting a year ago, April 5 at

Sporting Park. Real have never won at Sporting Park, in four meetings lifetime, including MLS Cup 2013. RSL last won in

Kansas City in 2009 (at CommunityAmerica Ballpark). Sporting won on their last trip to Utah, in 2013. Coaches record: Jeff Cassar vs. KC: P1 W0 L0 D1 … Peter Vermes vs. RSL: P8 W3 L3 D2

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City won for the second consecutive match in historic fashion, grabbing two goals in stoppage time for a 3-2 victory against Philadelphia Union on Sunday afternoon at Sporting Park. Sporting are in a tie for third place in the Western Conference with 8 points from 5 matches. LAST MATCH

The visitors took the lead after just three minutes. An in-swinging corner kick came in from the right of the SKC goal and the ball bounced off Sporting winger Jacob Peterson's shoulder and into the goalmouth, just crossing the line.

But SKC drew level in the 16th minute. Union goalkeeper Rais Mbolhi collided with a teammate while trying to track down Benny Feilhaber's corner to the back post, and Dom Dwyer was there to head home the equalizer.

Union took the lead just three minutes from another set piece goal. This time it was Fernando Aristeguieta sending home a long header of a Sebastien Le Toux free kick, bouncing it off the right post and into the back of the net.

Sporting still had the final answer with some late dramatics. First, just after the regulation 90 minutes were complete, a partially cleared free kick was driven back into the box and Jalil Anibaba sent a header goalward from the heart of the area that found the lower right corner of the goal.

Then, SKC scored an historic winner when a Benny Feilhaber corner kick came in from the right and Matt Besler flicked on at the near post, sending into the goalmouth for Krisztian Nemeth to poke home.

SKC manager Peter Vermes made three changes to the team that got the game’s lone goal for a victory against New York City FC at Yankee Stadium. Marcel de Jong came back in at right back for Seth Sinovic, Roger Espinoza came into the midfield in place of Paulo Nagamura, and Jacob Peterson started out wide for the injured Graham Zusi.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-4-1): Luis Marin - Jalil Anibaba, Ike Opara, Matt Besler, Marcel de Jong (Seth Sinovic 46) - Servando Carrasco (Soni Mustivar 77) - Jacob Peterson, Benny Feilhaber, Roger Espinoza, Jimmy Medranda (Krisztian Nemeth 64) - Dom Dwyer

TEAM NEWS Sporting became the seventh team in MLS history to reverse a deficit in stoppage time, scoring the tying and

winning goals after the 90th minute for the victory against Philadelphia.

MLS GAME INFORMATION

“I love the perseverance and determination of the team. I think you could sense it in the stadium that we were going to come back and that is a great thing,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes. “It (gives) great confidence to our team. They should know that they have the ability to do what they did. At this stadium, I think anything is possible. We have won championships here, and late comebacks like what we had here was a special moment.”

Krisztian Nemeth scored the winner (94+) after Jalil Anibaba netted the equalizer; Benny Feilhaber set up two of Sporting’s three goals and now leads MLS with four assists this season.

“I don't think it was a very good game,” said Feilhaber. “I don't think we played that well. I don't think anybody will tell you that we did. But we got it done. That's quite an accomplishment, regardless of who you're playing against and who you are, to get two goals in stoppage time.”

All three Sporting goals began from deadball situations. Both goals they allowed also started from set pieces; three of the six goals SKC has allowed this season have begun with deadball situations.

Of Sporting’s six goals on the season, three have now been scored by central defenders (Ike Opara 2, Jalil Anibaba 1).

“I think we are a very dangerous team on set pieces. I think [vs. Philadelphia] we were a little susceptible on the defensive side. That is something we will clean up very quickly, but in regards to the offensive side we are money and we have to continue using that going forward,” Vermes said.

Dom Dwyer netted his first goal of the season, making a fifth consecutive start as the spearhead of the Sporting attack, ever-present in the team thus far this season.

“I think we are really dangerous team. I think we create a lot of stuff going forward. Obviously, we are really dangerous on set pieces. We are on the cusp of being that much more dangerous in through the run of play with the chances that we are creating in and around the other team's box,” Vermes said.

Nemeth scored his first MLS goal after coming on as a second-half substitute; he had missed the previous two matches with a knee injury after starting the opening two games of the season.

“He had already been out two weeks and he wasn´t 90 minutes fit. So we weren't going to run a risk in that situation,” said Vermes. “He was good for us. I have always said he is a special player and I think he is going to add a lot to us, especially as he gets more used to not only our team but the way the league is.”

REAL SALT LAKE Real Salt Lake remained undefeated to begin the season, gaining their second victory in a row in a 1-0 win against the San Jose Earthquakes on Sunday afternoon at Avaya Stadium. Real are in a tie for third place in the Western Conference with 8 points from 4 matches. LAST MATCH

The game's only goal came a minute before the halftime break. Following a foul at the top of the restraining arc, Javier Morales took the ensuing free kick. His first attempt slammed into the defensive wall, but the rebound gave him a second chance and Morales made no mistake, drilling a shot off the underside of the crossbar and into the goal.

RSL goalkeeper Nick Rimando was credited with two saves in keeping the clean sheet. RSL head coach Jeff Cassar made three changes to the team that got a late goal for a 2-1 win against Toronto

FC at Rio Tinto Stadium. Nick Rimando came back in between the posts in place of Jeff Attinella, and Jordan Allen and Alvaro Saborio started up top in place of Sebastian Jaime and Devon Sandoval.

REAL SALT LAKE (4-1-2-3): Nick Rimando - Tony Beltran, Jamison Olave, Chris Schuler, Abdoulie Mansally - Kyle Beckerman - Javier Morales, Luke Mulholland - Jordan Allen (Luis Gil 76), Alvaro Saborio (Devon Sandoval 68), Olmes Garcia (John Stertzer 87).

TEAM NEWS Real Salt Lake claimed their second consecutive win, their first away from home this season, with the victory

against San Jose. RSL is one of two teams still undefeated this season following Week 6 (also: New York Red Bulls).

“I thought it was probably our best performance all year. The commitment from the guys on the defensive end was off the charts,” said RSL head coach Jeff Cassar. “It was something we stressed all week long that we think our defensive intensity is going to lead to offensive chances. I think on a different night we probably could have scored some more goals too, but the commitment defensively, the space that we limited them to was unbelievable.”

Javier Morales scored his second goal this season from a free kick for the Real Salt Lake tally. The goals are Morales’s first directly from free kicks since the 2012 season.

“I believe every time he shoots that he’s going to score or when he makes a final pass I believe that it’s going to come off,” said midfielder Kyle Beckerman. “He works really hard at his craft. He’s constantly working hard in practice and you’re seeing it in the games. We want to get him the ball as much as possible.”

Morales has two goals and three assists this season, having now played a part in five of RSL’s six goals on the campaign (the sixth goal was a penalty kick converted by Álvaro Saborío).

MLS GAME INFORMATION

“He’s playing at an extremely high level right now and I think his confidence is very high,” Cassar said. “We’re going to talk a lot about that goal, but I’m going to think about the defensive play that he made in the second half that was unbelievable. That’s what I hold dear to my heart. That’s the kind of thing that other people watch and see, and it rallies them.”

Jordan Allen was given his first professional start, playing on the right side of the RSL three-man attack as Sebastian Jaime was ruled out after suffering a bone bruise on his right leg.

“It’s a little bit of a fracture, but it’s in not a half-bad area – it’s a non-weight-bearing one, so he’s going to be in some pain for probably 10 days. Then after that it’s about managing the pain and getting him back into it. That’s what the doctors say and the trainers, but we’ll have to see. It’s a tricky one,” Cassar said.

In his return between the posts, Nick Rimando recorded his second clean sheet of the season, adding to his MLS-record total, which now stands at 117 in league play.

“I thought the effort and the commitment from the guys to defend was fantastic. On the road that’s what you need to pull out results … I think our chances came from us being a good defensive, organized team. When we play good defense we get our chances and that’s the kind of team we are,” Rimando said.

Sporting KC Game Notes | April 11, 2015 vs Real Salt Lake | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes

Sporting KC and Real Salt Lake last met in the MLS regular season on April 5, 2014, at Sporting Park. The hosts were held to a scoreless draw in a rematch of MLS Cup 2013 as Jeff Attinella, making his fifth league start in place of the injured Nick Rimando, made a career-high eight saves. Sporting KC outshot Real Salt Lake 20-5 and held a 9-1 advantage in shots on goal. Real Salt Lake is winless in their last four trips to Sporting Park with just one goal in 390 minutes of action. This stretch includes the 2013 MLS Cup final in which the visitors lost a penalty kick shootout 7-6 after a 1-1 stalemate through 120 minutes. In the coldest recorded game in MLS history (20 degrees), veteran forward Alvaro Saborio put Real Salt Lake ahead in the 52nd minute before Aurelien Collin nodded home a Graham Zusi Corner kick on 76 minutes. Saturday is the first of three regular season meetings between the clubs in 2015. Sporting KC will visit Rio Tinto Stadium for a pair of nationally televised matches on June 21 (Fox Sports 1) and July 24 (UniMas).Date Score Result Location08/03/2011 KC 2 vs RSL 0 W Sporting Park09/17/2011 KC 0 at RSL 1 L Rio Tinto Stadium04/14/2012 KC 1 vs RSL 0 W Sporting Park07/20/2013 KC 2 at RSL 1 W Rio Tinto Stadium12/07/2013* KC 1 vs RSL 1 T Sporting Park04/05/2014 KC 0 vs RSL 0 T Sporting Park*MLS Cup 2013 counted as a draw (Sporting KC won 7-6 on penalty kicks)

Sporting KC Game Notes | April 11, 2015 vs Real Salt Lake | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTESSPORTING KC TO HOST REAL SALT LAKE IN 2013 MLS CUP REMATCH Following two straight wins over Eastern Conference opponents, Sporting Kansas City will host Real Salt Lake at 7:30 p.m. CT on Saturday at Sporting Park. The teams enter the match tied for third place in the Western Conference with eight points apiece. Both sides have scored six goals this season, tied for third most in MLS entering week six, and feature an in-form, playmaking midfielder. Sporting KC’s Benny Feilhaber leads MLS with four assists, while Real Salt Lake’s 35-year-old veteran Javier Morales has two goals and three assists. Saturday’s showdown features the league’s top two defenses since the start of 2011, with Sporting KC allowing 144 goals and Real Salt Lake conceding 155. They are also the only two MLS clubs to have logged at least 10 shutouts in each of the last three seasons. Real Salt Lake has zero wins and just one goal in four trips to Sporting Park (1-5-3 all-time in Kansas City), including the 2013 MLS Cup final in which Sporting KC won a 10-round penalty kick shootout after a 1-1 stalemate through 120 minutes.

SPORTING KC SCORES TWICE IN STOPPAGE TIME TO SINK PHILADELPHIA Sporting KC erased a late deficit to earn a thrilling 3-2 victory over the Philadelphia Union last Sunday with two goals in second half stoppage time. Jalil Anibaba pulled the home side level in the 91st minute to set the stage for Krisztian Nemeth’s game-winner—the club’s 1000th goal in team history across all competitions—in the 94th minute. Playing their 600th all-time regular season match and 300th at home, Sporting KC fell behind in the third minute after an own goal from Jacob Peterson. Dom Dwyer opened his 2015 scoring account in the 16th minute for his 25th career MLS goal, but Philadelphia restored their lead three minutes later through Designated Player Fernado Aristeguieta. The Union would hold their lead until the 91st minute when Roger Espinoza lofted a pass into the penalty box. Anibaba directed his header downward inside the post for his fifth career MLS goal and first since October 2013. The late-game heroics culminated in a milestone moment when Benny Feilhaber’s corner kick, flicked on by Matt Besler, was turned over the line by Nemeth. A second-half substitute, the Hungarian newcomer’s first MLS goal enters the record books as the team’s historic 1000th goal in all competitions. Nemeth’s 94th-minute strike was the latest game-winning goal Sporting KC has ever scored at Sporting Park. In addition, Sunday’s 3-2 win was just the seventh in MLS history by a team that trailed entering stoppage time.

HISTORIC COMEBACK Sporting KC’s 3-2 victory over the Philadelphia Union last Sunday was just the seventh in MLS history by a team that trailed entering stoppage time. The last time Kansas City pulled off such a reversal was Sept. 17, 2007, when Eddie Johnson (93’) and Scott Sealy (94’) condemned the Columbus Crew to a 3-2 defeat.All-time MLS comeback wins in stoppage timeDate Result Score at 90 min Venue04/08/2000 DC 3-2 CHI 1-2 RFK Stadium04/21/2001 DAL 3-2 CHI 1-2 Cotton Bowl07/27/2003 NE 2-4 DC 2-1 Gillette Stadium09/15/2007 KC 3-2 CLB 1-2 Arrowhead Stadium10/15/2011 DC 1-2 CHI 1-0 RFK Stadium06/29/2013 SJ 3-2 LA 1-2 Stanford Stadium04/05/2015 KC 3-2 PHI 1-2 Sporting Park

SNIFFING OUT THE SUCCESSFUL PASS The Philadelphia Union led Sporting KC for 85 minutes of last Sunday’s match, but their advantage was less than comfortable. Conceding more than two-thirds of the possession to Sporting KC, Jim Curtin’s squad completed just 115 passes at 52.8 percent passing accuracy, both the lowest in an MLS match since 2012.Fewest successful passes in an MLS match since 2012Date Team Opponent Successful passes04/05/2015 Philadelphia Sporting KC 11504/13/2013 Toronto FC Philadelphia 11903/09/2013 Toronto FC Sporting KC 12106/22/2013 Sporting KC FC Dallas 12303/16/2013 Chicago Fire Sporting KC 13108/11/2012 D.C.

SPORTING KC REACHES 1,000 GOALS IN ALL COMPETITIONS In addition to being the club’s 1,000th goal across all competitions in team history, Krisztian Nemeth’s 94th-minute match-winner last Sunday against the Philadelphia Union bore league-wide significance. It was the first MLS match in which both teams scored at least two goals from set pieces since September 2009.Sporting KC milestone goals (all competitions)Goal Scorer Date Opponent1st Vitalis Takawira 04/13/1996 Colorado Rapids100th Edmundo Rodriguez 06/21/1997 D.C.

SPORTING PARK SELLOUT STREAK Sporting Park has sold out 56 consecutive MLS matches (including playoffs) dating back to March 2012 and 68 of 77 overall since opening in June 2011. Sporting KC has set new regular season attendance records in each of the last four years, eclipsing 20,00 spectators per game in 2014. In 77 MLS matches played at the venue, Sporting Park is averaging 19,358 spectators -- 104.8 percent of its 18,467-seat capacity.

OPARA EARNS MLS PLAYER OF THE MONTH NOMINATION Sporting KC defender Ike Opara was nominated for Etihad Airways MLS Player of the Month for March. The defender started all four matches during the month, scored two goals and anchored a backline that posted two shutouts. After missing the final six months of 2014 with a chondral defect injury in his right ankle, Opara has made up for lost time with an excellent start to 2015. Through the first five weeks of the 2015 campaign, he leads MLS in interceptions (25), clearances (36), headed clearances (25) and aerial duels won (23), and ranks second in duels won (37). He is the only Sporting KC defender to have started all five matches and has played in every minute (450) of the regular season. In addition, Opara has been named to the MLS Team of the Week three times, more than any other player.

HEADY PLAY FROM OPARA Ike Opara has scored twice this season to bring his goal total to six across all competitions since he joined the club in 2013. The 6-foot-2 centerback has proven particularly dangerous on set pieces, as all six of his goals have been headers. Opara’s five MLS goals over the last three regular seasons are tied for third most among defenders, one behind Jordan Harvey (Vancouver) and Matt Hedges (Dallas).

BESLER POSTS TWO STRAIGHT GAME-WINNING ASSISTS Captain Matt Besler has recorded an assist in two straight matches for the first time in his seven-year professional career. His flick-on header set up Krisztian Nemeth’s game-winner last Sunday after recording the game-winning assist to Ike Opara at New York City FC on March 28. Six of Besler’s nine career assists for Sporting KC have come from throw-ins.

ROAD WARRIORS Sporting KC has won 30 away matches in MLS since the beginning of 2011, more than any other club, 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). Coincidentally, the 1-0 victory over New York City FC on March 28 was Sporting KC’s 300th regular season road game and the team’s 100th road win across all competition in club history.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES (CONTINUED)WINNING THE DUEL In a 3-1 loss at FC Dallas on March 14, Sporting KC lost 61 percent (69 of 113) of the game’s duels, marking the largest negative discrepancy in duels for Sporting KC since Opta began tracking MLS statistics in 2011. Following the match, Sporting KC responded with two consecutive performances in which they set MLS season-highs for duels won. Peter Vermes’ men won 72 duels in a 0-0 draw against Portland before winning 78 in a win at New York City FC. Entering Week 6, Sporting KC leads MLS with 327 duels won.

OFFSEASON OVERHAULA roster makeover during the offseason saw Sporting KC acquire 13 new players and part ways with 15 members from last year’s squad. While retaining its veteran core – Matt Besler, Graham Zusi, Dom Dwyer, Seth Sinovic and Chance Myers – the club made multiple signings at each position.New goalkeepers (2): Luis Marin (31), a Chilean international (eight caps) with 12 years of professional experience in his native country and Sporting KC’s current holder of the No. 1 jersey; Tim Melia (28), a sixth-year MLS veteran who was a League Pool Goalkeeper in 2014 and received a call-up from Sporting KC last summer.New defenders (4): Jalil Anibaba (26), a versatile veteran who has started more than 100 MLS matches over four years with Chicago and Seattle; Saad Abdul-Salaam (23), a right back out of Akron selected 12th overall in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft; Amadou Dia (22), a left back out of Clemson selected 20th overall in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft; Marcel de Jong (28), a Canadian international (33 caps) who has played each of the last four years at FC Augsburg of the German Bundesliga.New midfielders (3): Roger Espinoza (28), a Honduran international (46 caps) and MLS All-Star who played in Kansas City from 2008-2012 before joining Wigan Athletic in England; Servando Carrasco (26), an MLS veteran who played 60 games over four years with Seattle and Houston; Soni Mustivar (25), a Haiti international who has played each of the last three seasons with Petrolul Ploiesti in the Romanian first division.New forwards (4): Bernardo Anor (26), a fifth-year veteran who played 72 MLS matches and scored 12 goals in Columbus; Krisztian Nemeth (26), a Hungarian international (15 caps) with nearly 10 years of professional experience across Europe; Connor Hallisey (23), a winger out of California selected 10th overall in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft; James Ansu Rogers (22), a winger out of New Mexico selected 53rd overall in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft.

SUCCESS IN KANSAS CITY Sporting KC begins their 20th season as one of nine active charter members in Major League Soccer. Led by seventh-year Manager Peter Vermes, Sporting KC is the only club to win an MLS Cup (2013), a Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup (2012) and multiple conference regular season titles (2011, 2012) since 2006. Vermes has guided the team to four straight postseason appearances and 69 MLS victories (including playoffs) since 2011, third most in the league. During that time, Sporting KC has recorded a league-best 30 road wins. In addition to winning championships, the club has seen many of its current players earn individual accolades. Winger Graham Zusi was named MLS Breakout Player of the Year in 2011, while captain Matt Besler received MLS Defender of the Year recognition in 2012. A pair of three-time MLS All-Stars, Zusi (28 caps) and Besler (25 caps) are veterans of the United States Men’s National Team and signed Designated Player contracts with Sporting KC last July after competing at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. Last year, Dwyer scored 22 MLS goals and 24 goals in all competitions to set new single-season records for the club. The 24-year-old has scored 51 goals in all competitions since the start of 2013—29 with Sporting KC and 22 with former USL PRO affiliate Orlando City SC. Now entering his fourth year in Kansas City, Dwyer signed a contract extension during this offseason. Sporting KC also welcomes back Honduran international midfielder Roger Espinoza, who played five seasons for the team from 2008-2012. After becoming an MLS All-Star in 2012, Espinoza moved to Wigan Athletic where he won the 2013 FA Cup title and made 57 total appearances across the English Premier League, English Championship, UEFA Europa League and domestic cups. He is the only active MLS player to have competed in the 2010 and 2014 FIFA World Cups and the 2012 Summer Olympics.

THREE SKC PLAYERS NAMED TO GOAL.COM TEAM OF THE WEEK Three Sporting KC players highlighted the Goal.com MLS Team of the Week following last week’s round of action. Jalil Anibaba, Dom Dwyer and Roger Espinoza landed spots on the squad after playing significant roles in the team’s come-from-behind win over the Philadelphia Union. Anibaba provided a 91st-minute equalizer for his first Sporting KC goal and his first MLS strike since October 13. Espinoza won eight duels in central midfield, set up Anibaba’s goal and chased down Fernando Aristeiguieta in a one-on-one situation to prevent the striker from testing goalkeeper Luis Marin. Dom Dwyer headed home his first goal of 2015, won nine duels and put four of his six shots on target.

LOAN UPDATE: ABDUL-SALAAM MAKES PRO DEBUT, LOPEZ AND OKC WIN Three of Sporting KC’s on-loan players were in action last Saturday at the USL and NASL levels. Saad Abdul-Salaam made his professional debut for the San Antonio Scorpions—after joining the club on March 31—alongside SKC teammate Jon Kempin in a 3-1 home loss to the Tampa Bay Rowdies in the NASL season opener. Both players started and went the distance in the defeat in front of 6,723 fans at Toyota Field. The Scorpions will regroup with a Week 2 bye and return to action on April 18 against Indy Eleven. Mikey Lopez made his second straight start for head coach Jimmy Nielsen as OKC Energy FC (1-0-1) secured a 2-1 win over Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC (0-2-0) in the expansion side’s first-ever home match at Sand Creek Stadium. Danish forward Danni König scored both goals for OKC with the game-winner coming in the third minute of second-half stoppage time on an assist from former Sporting KC midfielder Michael Thomas. OKC Energy FC also has an early bye in prep for the team’s home opener at the newly renovated Taft Stadium on April 18 against the Seattle Sounders 2 (2-0-0).Mikey Lopez (OKC) USL Stats: 2 GP, 2 GS, 162 MINSaad Abdul-Salaam (San Antonio) NASL Stats: 2 GP, 2 GS, 162 MINJon Kempin (San Antonio) NASL Stats: 1 GP, 90 MIN, 3.00 GAA, 2 saves

Sporting KC Coach Bios | April 11, 2015 vs Real Salt Lake | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes

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 .552 regular season winning percentage (78-59-46) 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.

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 | Zoran Savic

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.

RADIO: ESPN700 AM w/Bill Riley (@espn700bill)(ENG) & Brian Kamler (@espn700kam) w/Jeremy Horton (@espn700jeremy) (Pre-Game show at 5:30p MT) (Post-Game show at 8:30p MT)

OUT: FW Joao Plata (L broken foot) FW Sebastian Jaime (R tibia fracture)

QUESTIONABLE: DF Demar Phillips (R hamstring) MF Pecka (hip flexor) DF Justen Glad (R knee)

MAESTRO MORALES STRIKES AGAIN: RSL MF Javier Morales - now in his 9th season with RSL - provided the game-winner in last week’s 1-0 W at San Jose to give RSL back-to-back one-goal wins heading into this week’s match at Kansas City ...

Morales - now with 9 goals and 6 assists in 15 career games against the Earthquakes - volleyed home the rebound off the wall of his 27-yard free kick in the 44th minute, but it was pair of slide tackles midway through the second half to squelch a SJ counter that earned his teammates’ praise post-game ...

Morales now has 2 goals to go along with 3 assists in 4 games this season, playing a part in all but one of RSL’s 6 goals (Saborio PK v PHI on 3/14) ...

Two weeks ago against Toronto, Morales moved into a tie with Captain Kyle Beckerman for the all-time club lead in game-winning assists (16) on the late Jordan Allen goal ...

ICONIC PRESENCE BETWEEN THE PIPES:Last week’s clean sheet at San Jose marked career shutout #117 for MLS legend and RSL GK Nick Rimando, allowing him to distance himself from former LA/KC/DAL GK Kevin Hartman with the all-time league record, in 44 fewer games ...

Rimando’s win a week ago gave the perennial MLS GK of the Year candidate and everyone’s “homeboy” 99 career RSL wins - the club only has 122 in MLS play - while his current total of 81 clean sheets for the Utah side (club has 99 total) is nothing less than dominant ... While Rimando won MLS Cup 2004 with United, shutout #1 came against D.C. (1998 w/ Miami), as did #113 (Aug. 9) ...

RSL PROBABLE STARTERS @ KANSAS CITY

MLS CUP 2013 REMATCH AT SPORTING PARK: “RSL Family” is still pained at memories of its frigid shootout loss at MLS Cup 2013 in Kansas City, remembering a trio of shots that hit Jimmy Nielsen’s woodwork - Robbie Findley, Kyle Beckerman, Javier Morales - as well as a 2nd Alvaro Saborio goal disallowed due to offsides and an Aurelien Collin challenge on a Findley breakaway that could have seen a 2nd yellow on the centerback ...

Saborio put the Claret-and-Cobalt on top in the 52nd minute, firing a 20-yard half volley home past Nielsen ... Morales thought he had put RSL up 2-0 when a chip beat Nielsen but skipped off the post just prior to Sporting KC‘s equalizer in the 76th minute, when Collin buried a FW Graham Zusi corner kick from 10 yards out ...

After regulation and extra time left the sides tied at 1-1, the teams entered a penalty kick shootout ... The sides traded goals and misses until the 10th round, when Collin buried his penalty for SKC before former RSL DF Lovel Palmer sent his spot kick off the crossbar to give SKC the shootout by a 7-6 margin ...

SCORELESS DRAW IN LAST VISIT TO KC: A year ago, it was a scintillating defensive performance at Kansas City which allowed RSL to pick up a point at Sporting Park ... Backup GK Jeff Attinella made 8 saves and former DF Nat Borchers cleared another off the line to preserve the clean sheet ...

How unexpected was the standout defensive performance last year at KC? That game remains just one of six played by RSL since October, 2007, without at least one of the Rimando/Beltran/Wingert veteran core in the lineup ...

Page 46: Game Guide: Sporting KC vs. Real Salt Lake

REAL SALT LAKE @ SPORTING KANSAS CITY SAT. APRIL 11 6:30 PM MT SPORTING PARK KANSAS CITY, KS

ALL-TIME HISTORY v SPORTING/WIZARDS:RSL has a 5-8-4 MLS regular season record and a 6-8-5 record across all competitions against Kansas City ...

RSL is only 1-5-3 in regular-season games at Kansas City, the lone victory a 1-0 decision over the then-Wizards on Aug. 29, 2009, at Community America Ballpark ... That win came via an early Pablo Campos goal (set up by Andy Williams) in a game that saw MF Ned Grabavoy ejected just before halftime ...

Earlier that same year, KC was the first visitor to win a regular-season match at Rio Tinto Stadium, riding two Josh Wolff goals in a May victory that was RSL’s last loss prior to a 37-game unbeaten home streak (4/27/11, 0-1 to Monterrey) ...

The clubs have faced off a total of 10 times in KC (including MLS Cup), with RSL posting a 1-5-4 road record at Sporting ...

2013 REWIND vs KANSAS CITY:RSL’s last loss to an Eastern Conference team came back on July 20, 2013, the eventual Cup finalists met at Rio Tinto Stadium in Utah, SKC grabbing the full 3 points - ultimately proving crucial in order to host that year’s MLS Cup - when DF Ike Opara headed home the game-winner at the death in the 97+’ ... RSL FW Robbie Findley gave RSL the lead in the 56’ by beating Nielsen with a header in the box, before Soony Saad’s equalizer in the 63’ ...

RSL missed 4 starters in that match, as GK Nick Rimando, DF Tony Beltran, Capt Kyle Beckerman (USA) and FW Alvaro Saborio (Costa Rica) were on Gold Cup duty that month, as was KC defender Matt Besler (USA) ...

Kansas City’s win - disputed by the RSL faithful due to Opara’s pushing and shoving which ended up extending the 5’ of added time - snapped an 11-game unbeaten run for the Claret/Cobalt across all competitions (6-0-2 MLS, 3-0-0 in Open Cup) that saw RSL outscore its opposition 30-9 ...

The match saw a total of six yellow cards – four given to RSL – and resulted in the sending off of DF Chris Wingert in the 66th minute ...

UNBLEMISHED RUN vs EAST TEAMS:RSL hits the road twice more this month after Easter, heading to Kansas City next Saturday - returning to the site of a heartbreaking MLS Cup 2013 shootout loss - and then heading to Foxborough, Mass., on April 25 seeking to extend the club’s 12-game unbeaten run against Eastern foes ...

RSL has enjoyed a perfect 2014/15 against East teams, with a 7-0-5 overall mark, outscoring the East 28-14, including a 5-0-1 home mark with a 14/4 goal differential ... Can the streak extend to 13 overall with a win/draw at NE? ...

LATE-GAME HEROICS PROVIDED BY 19-y.o.: Two weeks ago at home, RSL needed an 89’ goal from 19-year old FW Jordan Allen to vanquish Toronto FC, 2-1, and send a Rio Tinto Stadium-record crowd of 20,794 home happy in the club’s first-ever Sunday home regular-season match ...

In a game that saw the two teams missing a combined 10 players due to international duty as MLS played through the FIFA window, RSL took the lead in the 38’ on a Luke Mulholland header ... RSL MF Javier Morales provided assists on both goals, serving perfect crosses far post, with the game-winner from Allen coming only seconds after Jackson equalized for TFC, which was held at bay throughout the night by RSL GK Jeff Attinella ...

ANOTHER RIOT SELLOUT: That surprising SRO crowd of 20,794 last Sunday extended the club’s 18-game Rio Tinto Stadium sellout streak, with RSL now selling out 24 of its last 29 games at the Sandy venue, affectionately known as the #RioT, dating back to Aug., 2013 ... Early-season March/April games have sometimes fallen a few hundred shy due to weather concerns ...

RSL returns home next Saturday, April 18 v VAN with an active 12-game unbeaten run on home turf - outscoring foes 25-8, the last home loss coming June 7 to Portland last year in the midst of World Cup call-ups ...

INTERNATIONAL DUTY PERVADES RSL: Head Coach Jeff Cassar welcomed back five players last week just prior to the San Jose match, as GK Nick Rimando (USA), FW Alvaro Saborio (CRC), DF Elias Vasquez (GUA), MF Luis Gil and DF Boyd Okwuonu (U.S. U-23) each return from international duty for their respective teams ...

Rimando started both the 2-3 U.S.A. loss at Denmark and the 1-1 draw at Switzerland (playing only 45’), while Saborio started and played 60’ in the Ticos’ 0-0 draw v Paraguay before playing the final 30’ and scoring 6’ into his appearance against Panama ... Gil wore the captain’s armband for the U-23’s in both a 5-2 win over Bosnia (3 assists) and an 0-1 loss at Denmark, playing a full 90’ in each match ... Okwuonu also started both matches, playing 90’ + 75’ at right back ...

A sixth international, DF Demar Phillips, would have reported to Jamaica’s camp during the FIFA window, but has been hampered by a recurring preseason hamstring injury that caused him to leave the 3-3 T v PHI three weeks ago in the 82’ ...

With U.S. v Mexico on Wednesday and upcoming U-23, U-20 and U-18 camps, RSL could see Rimando, Kyle Beckerman, Gil, Okwuonu, Jordan Allen, Sebastian Saucedo and Justen Glad called away in upcoming days ...

Page 47: Game Guide: Sporting KC vs. Real Salt Lake

REAL SALT LAKE @ SPORTING KANSAS CITY SAT. APRIL 11 6:30 PM MT SPORTING PARK KANSAS CITY, KS

CAN ROAD WARRIORS EMERGE AGAIN?:With GK Nick Rimando & MF/Capt Kyle Beckerman in the fold, RSL has earned points in 17 of its last 22 road trips, dating back to mid-August of 2013 ...

However, 4 of those 5 road losses have come in RSL’s last 7 trips away from Utah, with losses at LA, Chivas, Vancouver and Dallas mixed in with scoreless draws at Portland and a 1-1 in the last visit to San Jose ...

22 of RSL’s 56 points in its MLS Cup campaign in 2013 were earned from a club-record-tying 6-7-4 road mark, with 2012 and 2013 each setting a new club record for road points for the historically road-weary side ...

In a bloodbath of a Western Conference, Waibel, Cassar and Beckerman - among others - talk often of securing valuable road points and playing to win away ...

ADDING 4-3-3 TO BAG OF TRICKS: RSL boss Jeff Cassar and Technical Director Craig Waibel are toying with the implementation of new formation, departing (temporarily?) from the team’s diamond DNA that has led to longest active playoff streak (7 seasons) and 5 straight 15-win/50-point seasons ...

RSL is hoping to accomplish 2 things with this experiment; a) getting the club’s attacking talent – Alvaro Saborio, Sebastian Jaime, Joao Plata, Luis Gil and Javier Morales – on the field simultaneously – and b) add some ammo to the club’s arsenal in order to become less predictable after 7 seasons, while finding new ways to break down the defensive shell that opponents usually employ when visiting Rio Tinto Stadium, where the club has won 78% of its matches and outscored opponents by 150+ goals since 2008 ...

RIO TINTO STADIUM OPEN FOR 7TH YEAR:The club’s on-field success has bred attendance success, which in turn has certainly given the club a pronounced “12th-Man” boost ...

Since the beginning of 2008, RSL boasts an 87-18-34 mark in its last 139 home games (all comps) in that span, during which it has outscored opponents by 155 goals (258-103), with a 71-13-31 reg. season mark (214/85), 6-1-1 CCL record (17/5), 5-2-2 playoffs (11/4) and 5-2-0 Open Cup (16/9) ...

The club’s 12-1-7 overall home mark a year ago was no doubt buoyed by the continued growth of season ticket holders, which surpassed 15,000 a week ago Friday...

POWER OF THE CHECKBOOK: Following last week’s 2-1 RSL win over Toronto FC, the club has posted an all competitions 8-1-0 home mark against Toronto, losing the club’s first-ever meeting on 7/4/07 at Rice-Eccles on a late PK, but outscoring TFC 22-7 in 8 games (7 MLS, 1 CCL) since ... All-time, RSL is now 9-4-3 v TFC, with an 1-3-3 mark away ...

ROOKIE START AMONG HISTORIC BEST:RSL boss Jeff Cassar was the first head coach since the league’s 1996 inaugural season to go undefeated in his first 12 MLS matches at the helm ... The list, courtesy of Peter Hirdt at Elias Sports Bureau: Gms W-L-T Pts Team Manager (YEAR) 12 12-0-0 32 LA Lothar Osiander (1996) 12 6-0-6 24 RSL Jeff Cassar (2014) 8 8-0-0 20 CLB Tom Fitzgerald (1996) 7 1-0-6 9 CHI Frank Klopas (2011)

Cassar’s start was all the more amazing when you consider 4 of RSL’s first 6 games and 6 of first 10 were on the road, with 4 of first 5 against 2014 CCL teams … The 12 games unbeaten to open a head coaching career for Cassar also matches a league record, as the 1996 Galaxy manager Lothar Osiander set the standard ...

That run allowed RSL to become only the 4th MLS club to accomplish a 12-game unbeaten run to kick off a campaign (LA ‘96/’10, KC ‘00) ... A year ago, Cassar became the first of the club’s three all-time coaches to earn a win in his debut, as both John Ellinger (April, 2005) and Jason Kreis (May, 2007) drew in their first-ever games ...

RSL hired Cassar as its 3rd head coach in club history back on 12/18/13, just 11 days after falling in MLS Cup 2013 via PK shootout, and just 8 days after Kreis announced he would accept the NYCFC offer ... Cassar joined RSL back in May, 2007 as one of Jason’s first hires, the duo teammates in Dallas during the early years of MLS ...

CONSISTENTLY ELITE IS RSL: In 2013, RSL ended up one bounce of a ball away from each of the championships that compose the American treble - Supporters Shield (3 pts off), Open Cup (lost final at home) and MLS Cup (lost PK shootout on road) ... That year’s club set new marks for goals scored (57), road goals (26) and tied the 2012 mark for road wins (6) and road points (22) ...

In 2012, RSL set a new club record for wins in a season (with 17) and saw Jason Kreis’ team capture a franchise-high 57 points, surpassing the 56 captured during the 2010 30-game season ... The team’s record points-per-game average of 1.87 set in 2010 was unassailable, while 2013 saw RSL establish a club mark for goals scored, 2nd only to NY ... Key numbers:

7 CONSECUTIVE POSTSEASON CAMPAIGNS:RSL has advanced to the MLS postseason for the 7th consecutive season - the longest active run in MLS and a league-high in the “expansion era” (post-2005) ...

Los Angeles holds the overall mark of 10 straight seasons from 1996-2005, while RSL’s current mark matches Dallas (1996-2002) and trails the New England Revolution’s post-shootout era record of 8 seasons (2002-09), most of those years coming when 8 teams out of 10 or 12 advanced ...

Four current RSL players - GK Nick Rimando, DF Tony Beltran, MF Kyle Beckerman & MF Javier Morales - as well as Jeff Cassar and Andy Williams - have been a part of all 7 postseason runs ...

Only the triumvirate of Western elite RSL, Seattle and Los Angeles have advanced to Playoffs each of the last five seasons ...

RSL has surpassed both the 15-win and 50-point plateaus for the FIFTH consecutive season, something only the 2010-14 LA Galaxy have also accomplished in the post-shootout era ...

D.C. United’s 2005/06/07 team was the only previous team to have put together 3 straight 15-win / 50-point seasons ...

RSL SEASON XI: RSL kicks off the second month of its 11th season in club history on the heels of an unprecedented amount of change - for this club - despite the return of 19 players from a year ago and eight of 11 starters (gone are DF Nat Borchers / DF Chris Wingert / MF Ned Grabavoy) from a team that went 15-8-11 last year, finishing 3rd in the West behind LA and Seattle, qualifying for the 2015-16 CONCACAF Champions League and extending its playoff streak to 7 seasons, the longest active run in MLS ...

RETURNING ICONS: The continuity, stability and excellence emblematic of RSL returns once again with Captain Kyle Beckerman and GK Nick Rimando, Major League Soccer’s active leaders in minutes, appearances and starts, among other categories. The active U.S. National Team duo are joined in Jurgen Klinsmann’s 2015 pre-Gold Cup setup by young starlet Luis Gil, who earned his second-ever cap on Feb. 8 in a 2-0 win against Panama. Also back for 2015 are several other long-time RSL faces, including playmaking MF Javier Morales – the “maestro” – as well as DF Chris Schuler, DF Tony Beltran, and FW Alvaro Saborio, the club’s all-time leading scorer in both MLS play and across all competitions. Back in the locker room after two years away in at Red Bull New York is DF Jamison Olave, the imposing Colombian centerback who played at RSL from 2008-12 ...

FINALS ABOUND IN ODD-NUMBERED YEARS: Since the 2008 campaign – the first full season under former head coach Jason Kreis and GM Garth Lagerwey, authors of the “Team is the Star” ethos - RSL’s record in final games/series:

Year Final Result 2008 West Final vs New York L, 0-12009 East Final @ Chicago T, 0-0 (5-4 PKs) MLS Cup vs Los Angeles T, 1-1 (5-4 PKs)2010 --2011 CCL Final v Monterrey T, 2-2 / L, 0-1 West Final @ Los Angeles L, 1-32012 --2013 Open Cup Final v D.C. United L, 0-1 West Final v Portland W, 4-2 / W, 1-0 MLS Cup at Kansas City T, 1-1 (6-7 PKs)2014 --2015 ???

WINDS OF CHANGE SWEEP OUT VETS:Suddenly gone in the most recent offseason are former perennial starters Borchers, Wingert and Grabavoy, each of whom helped establish the “Team is the Star” culture at RSL, implementing the ethos established by former head coach Jason Kreis – now with NYCFC – and general Manager Garth Lagerwey – now with Seattle ...

Also departed are former reserves GK Josh Saunders (NYCFC), Kwame Watson-Siriboe (NYCFC), Sebastian Velasquez (NYCFC), Cole Grossman (Staebek, Norway), Carlos Salcedo (Guadalajara, Mexico), FW Robbie Findley (Toronto FC) and Rich Balchan (Tampa Bay NASL) ...

WORLD MARKET FINDS UTAH: Arriving for 2015 to make Cassar’s squad younger, more athletic and potentially more diverse formationally as the club seeks new facets in its attack with 4-3-3 experimentation, are international reinforcements recruited by Cassar’s coaching staff: Brazilian MF Wellington “Pecka” Paeckert (who played 4 seasons at NASL Ft. Lauderdale, including two under current RSL goalkeeping coach Daryl Shore, the former Strikers boss in 2012-13), Jamaican DF Demar Phillips (Aalesunds, Norway, and a JAM National Teammate of current RSL coaches Andy Williams and Tyrone Marshall), and Guatemalan DF Elias Vasquez (Dorados, Mexico) ...

CONCACAF, FOR CLUB AND COUNTRY: By virtue of last year’s regular season, RSL has again gained entry into CONCACAF Champions League play, where the tiny club from a flyover state in the black hole that is the Mountain time zone once famously carried the MLS flag all the way to the 2011 CCL Final, losing by a goal at home in a match that required only a draw that could have catapulted it to the FIFA Club World Cup ...

Several of the region’s standouts now call Utah home, as Jamaica back Demar Phillips and Guatemalan DF Elias Vasquez join a team that already has Costa Rica sniper Alvaro Saborio and several U.S.A. internationals, including Beckerman, Rimando, hopefuls Schuler and Gil, as well as Tony Beltran, who seeks to reprise his 2013 Gold Cup role ...

CAN GIL/SCHULER FOLLOW BECKERMAN/RIMANDO PATH IN GOLD CUP YEAR?: RSL’s “Team Is The Star” ethos has created long-term stability on the Wasatch, and allowed the club’s leaders - Captain Kyle Beckerman and GK Nick Rimando, most notably - to earn individual accolades through group success ...

Beckerman and Rimando have become part of Jurgen Klinsmann’s MLS core on the U.S. National Team, and 2015 marks a big opportunity for dominant centerback Chris Schuler to overcome an injury-riddled career to fulfill his potential, while MF Luis Gil – now wearing #10 and the captain of the U.S. U-23 team that seeks to qualify for the Rio Olympics later this year, with qualifying on U.S. soil – has a chance to prove that with 6 MLS seasons under the tutelage of Javier Morales, that the 21-year old starlet has learned how to put his playmaking stamp on a game and lead his team ...

ACADEMY STARS EXPECTED TO EMERGE:2015 is expected to be a big year for a pair of RSL-Arizona academy products, as Jordan Allen and Justen Glad – each signed by RSL in 2014 – suffered through injury-marred rookie campaigns in MLS ... Allen is known for his versatility, athleticism and technical skills, seeing minutes in each of RSL’s first two games a year ago before suffering an ankle then an ACL injury that sidelined him for the season following microfracture surgery ... Glad eschewed a full ride at Stanford to sign his MLS deal last May, earning acclaim for his speed of thought and quick adjustments across the back line in reserve games, before a late-season meniscus tear ...

LOCAL TIES THAT BIND RSL ROSTER: DF Phanuel Kavita attended high school in Salt Lake City (Highland H.S.) and is a product of the club’s Arizona youth academy in Casa Grande, while DF Boyd Okwuonu was thrilled to be drafted by RSL after brother Willie completed his four-year career as a running back at Weber State University in Ogden, UT ...

While Kavita is the club’s first SLC-born academy product to earn an RSL contract, he becomes the second Utah native inside of six months to gain a true “homegrown” distinction, as Park City native Sebastian Saucedo – an 18-year old FW in the United States U-18 National Team setup – left the academy last Fall, his MLS contract going into effect on Jan. 1, 2015 ...

Adolfo “Fito” Ovalle is the most recent local signing, as the Layton, UT-born Chilean U-20 star bypassed a Univ. of Maryland full ride to sign a homegrown deal with RSL this season ... Rumors abound that RSL’s USL side, Real Monarchs, are on verge of signing Provo-born Maikon Orellana, an El Salvadoran National Team player ...

USL MONARCHS INAUGURAL HOME GAME: The quality of the RSL-AZ Casa Grande academy system will be in full effect in 2015, as several other young players are expected to gain their first professional minutes with RSL’s minor-league expansion team, the USL PRO Real Monarchs ...

Led by head coach Freddy Juarez – himself a 5-year coaching product of the Casa Grande setup – the Monarchs will play 14 home regular-season games at Rio Tinto Stadium, with several young stars – Coco Navarro, Ricardo Velasco, Eti Tavares, Guyanese international FW Emery Welshman and others – expected to serve as the next wave of RSL talent ...

With the #EmbraceTheFuture and #RiseToRoyalty slogans serving as the minor-league club’s inspirational objectives, the addition of more soccer on the Wasatch Front is expected to pay dividends as RSL deepens its infrastructure, both on the competitive side and in the Utah sporting community ...

Monarchs earned a road point in the club’s debut at LA with a 0-0 draw against “Los Dos” before losing March 29 at Portland, 1-3 ... The club’s inaugural home match in cold and rainy conditions saw a 1-1 draw on Wednesday, also against Timbers 2 ... RSL DF Justen Glad - one of seven loanees to the Monarchs - tallied a 27’ equalizer for his first professional goal, coming 6 months after a menisectomy on his right knee ended his 2014 season ...

SIX GAMES ABOVE .500 ALL-TIME:By virtue of Sunday’s win, RSL’s all-time MLS regular-season mark reached a 11-year cumulative high of 6 games above the .500 mark, a milestone reached for the first time ...

On the final day of 2014, RSL’s win over former expansion brother Chivas USA put the club at +4 for the 4th time, after the mid-August, 2-1 home win over SEA that put RSL briefly in the Supporters Shield lead and four games over .500 for the first time ever ...

Attaining the “.500” mark last year in MLS game 293 allowed the club to call itself “even” for the first time since May 2005, with a 3-3-2 mark early in its history ...

RSL dropped to 32 games below .500 on May 24, 2008, after a 1-2 loss at Dallas, the club’s low-water mark in terms of overall record ... RSL went 8-5-8 the rest of the way to earn a playoff berth, knock out #1 seed Chivas and even host the West Final that season ...

ALL-TIME GOAL +/- TRENDS POSITIVELY:It took 265 all-time regular-season matches, but the 4-1 victory @CHV in May 2013 put RSL’s all-time aggregate goal differential in MLS play deep into positive territory at the conclusion of a game, the club scoring 341 goals all-time while conceding 338 ... The May 8 loss @MTL by 2-3 score returned the club’s all-time ledger back to even, after the first-ever foray into +1 territory 3 days prior with the 2-1 win @NE ...

Back on Sept. 21, 2011 in a 3-1 win at Red Bull Arena in New York, RSL briefly got its goal +/- head above water, but a late Joel Lindpere goal dropped the side to even, three days before a 1-4 road loss at D.C. United ...

When Jason Kreis took over RSL four games into the club’s third season in 2007, the differential was minus-43, eventually dropping as low as minus-57 after a loss at Dallas on May 24, 2008 - more than 6.5 years

ago ... It took 160 regular-season matches, but RSL finally made up the difference ... Last week’s 1-0 win over SJ allowed RSL to set a new all-time +33 high-water goal differential mark ...

LEAVING POINTS ON THE PITCH?: The current 2-game win streak almost didn’t happen though, as the 88’ goal conceded to TFC man Jackson two weeks ago reminded RSL fans of the club’s difficulty in 2013/14 in holding a lead ... On 11 occasions a year ago, RSL conceded a lead and ended up with a late draw or loss ...

The Sounders’ Andy Rose scored a late game-winner in mid-Sept. @SEA for the first stoppage-time decider that left RSL with no points, but late equalizers conceded last season @ SJ, v VAN, @ PHI, @ CLB, v NY each resulted in disappointing draws left bitter tastes in Claret/Cobalt mouths ...

In 2013, RSL saw MTL, KC and NY each score game winners late to deny RSL any points, while late goals from VAN and CHI turned near-wins into ties ... Those points are cited as haunting RSL, which ended up 3 points from the 2013 Supporters Shield and 1 point behind Portland in what ended up deciding the 4th and final 2014/15 CONCACAF Champions League spot ...

The script flipped at Chicago last year on May 3, with the late Plata/Saborio heroics reversing an 0-2 deficit to capture the full 3 points ... What will ‘15 hold in store? ...

In 34 MLS games last season, the club trailed just 413 minutes out of a possible 3,060, for an average of just 12’ per game, according to Peter Hirdt of the Elias Sports Bureau ... RSL scored first in 21 of its 34 games in 2014, posting a 13-3-5 mark when finding the back of the net first ... Only fellow West playoff sides LA (avg. of 14’ trailing per game) and DAL (avg. of 16’) were in RSL’s stratosphere ...

RSL (USUALLY) CELEBRATES IF SABO SCORES:RSL’s all-time leading scorer, Costa Rican int’l FW Alvaro Saborio, usually leads RSL to victory when finding the back of the net ... Despite the heartbreak of MLS Cup 2013, RSL still owns a dominating 41-6-13 all-time record in all comps when Sabo scores ... Entering his 6th year, Saborio joins Kreis (2005 Open Cup) and Robbie Findley (2009 MLS) as the lone “hat trick heroes” in RSL’s 11-year, 379-game history across all competitions ...

In all comps, Sabo now owns a team-record 79 goals in 142 games, w/ 25 game-winners and 16 multi-goal matches (21 and 13 in 116 MLS games) ...

Prior to 8/18/13 home loss to DAL (1-2 L), the two most recent losses when Sabo finds the back of the net were against LA, 6/20/13 of last year and also in the 2011 West Final at LA ... The only loss prior to 9/24/11 at DC was the rain-soaked 4-5 loss at Cruz Azul in Aug. 2011 ...

RSL is only 22-32-23 when Sabo plays and does not score, but 25-12-8 when he is unavailable due to suspension, injury or national team duty since his arrival in 2010 …

SABORIO MISSES OUT?:Despite missing 118 days between MLS appearances last year due to a broken foot suffered in Costa Rica’s World Cup camp, RSL FW Alvaro Saborio finished 2 goals shy of registering a fifth consecutive MLS campaign with 10 or more goals, something only 3 others have accomplished in MLS annals: Chris Wondolowski (2010-14), Carlos Ruiz (2002-06) and Juan Pablo Angel (2007-11) ...

Despite only 8 goals in 16 games last year, and his 12 goals in 2013, Saborio has managed to juggle international duty, injury and a sniper’s inherent pressure to score 61 reg. season goals for RSL - the club’s all-time high - in just 114 MLS games ...

RSL had re-inserted itself into the MLS Supporters Shield discussion when it defeated DAL Sept. 6 at Rio Tinto Stadium, winning 2-1 on the back of a dramatic game-winner from Saborio ... In the game’s 77th minute, Saborio jogged from the bench, to the 4th official’s table, onto the field in a Willis Reed-like return from a 118-day absence from action, going straight into the penalty box on the dead ball substitution and immediately heading home a perfect corner kick from teammate Javier Morales ... The 18-second sequence set off a riotous celebration at Rio Tinto, Saborio scoring the 77th of his 79 goals across all competitions in 142 games for RSL, with 25 game-winners ...

RARE OCCURANCE FROM PK SPOT:Last July 4 v NE, RSL was awarded and converted 2 penalty kicks in the same game, only the 3rd such occasion in team history (RSL has seen its opponents awarded 2x on 6 occasions, the last being 3 weeks ago in VAN) ...

Javier Morales and Joao Plata each converted from the spot as part of RSL’s 7-for-8 conversion rate last year on PKs (Morales 4-4, Plata 1-1, Saborio 2-3) ... The lone imperfection - an early attempt for Sabo @PHI on April - was rescued by a Luke Mulholland rebound goal ...

BECKERMAN RETURNS TO SET TONE: RSL/MLS fans have long experienced and enjoyed the excellence of Captain and MF Kyle Beckerman, who recently become one of Jurgen Klinsmann’s mainstays, starting all 3 games and playing the full 270 minutes in group play, before being inexplicably left out in the USA knockout game v Belgium ...

Beckerman stayed behind from this year’s USMNT January camp - despite the upcoming Gold Cup - in order to set the tone in RSL’s preseason, with the glut of new faces and the experimentation with the 4-3-3 formation ...

One of RSL and MLS’s true “Iron Men,” Beckerman was rewarded in the offseason with a new contract extension and a DP-level deal ... Despite a midsummer 0-4-2 (all competitions) record without its Captain, RSL has posted a 5-6-5 mark in 2013/14 without Beckerman, with the 15-year veteran away on USA duty ... Since winning MLS Cup 2009, RSL is 15-15-12 without its Captain in MLS reg. season, CCL and Open Cup action ...

WALL OF THE WASATCH NICKY RIMANDO:RSL GK Nick Rimando again displayed his flair for the dramatic in the late season at Chivas, stopping a 48’ Cubo Torres PK attempt - the 17th denial in 47 spot attempts for RSL opponents (Rimando 14 for 39, Garlick 1 for 2, Attinella 2 for 5) - to allow RSL to stay close ...

Rimando also preserved the 3 points in opening day 2014’s 1-0 road win at Los Angeles by denying a Robbie Keane PK during stoppage time, earning him MLS Player of the Week honors for 2014 Week One ... Last year, Nicky extended his all-time MLS PK “denial” record to 23 career stops, holding opposing PK takers to just 42-for-65 against the former DC/MIA and current RSL GK ...

Rimando – kicking off his 16th year as an MLS standout who has started in every career appearance in goal, and who won MLS Cup in 2004 with United and in 2009 with RSL – came into MLS with the Miami Fusion ...

Rimando has 15 of his 117 career shutouts against Colorado, the highest total vs. one team ... In descending order: Colorado (15), Chicago/Chivas/San Jose (10 each), Red Bulls (9), New England (8), Columbus/DCU (7 each), Dallas/Houston/LA/Seattle/KC/Portland (5 each), Philadelphia (2), Montreal & Tampa Bay (1 each) ...

RIMANDO REWRITING RECORD BOOKS:Opening his 9th season with RSL, Rimando trails only the recently-retired Hartman in most league GK categories; Rimando needs just 16 wins to overtake Hartman for the all-time lead, along with 145 saves, 44 games and 3,538 minutes …

The shutout record came mid-2014, with wins and games possibly coming in 2015, and the saves/minutes marks likely in 2016 (barring injury or extended absence) … Jon Busch is the only active GK who can potentially threaten the Hartman/Rimando thresholds in each category in the next 5 years or so …

Rimando is now 3rd all-time in regular season games played with 373 (passing former RSL FW Jeff Cunningham), and should surpass Steve Ralston (378) for 2nd this season; Hartman all-time leader at 416 ...

Rimando also just passed Ralston to move into sole possession of #2 all-time in MLS games started (373, Hartman all-time leader with 411) ... Rimando also 2nd all-time in minutes played with 33,733 (Hartman all-time leader with 37,260) ...

BECKERMAN, RIMANDO TOP TWO ACTIVES:Despite their World Cup departures a year ago, RSL GK Nick Rimando and MF Kyle Beckerman rank first and second, respectively, amongst active MLS players in all-time regular season minutes played (Rimando: 33,733; Beckerman: 29,433), games played (NR: 373; KB: 357) and games started (NR: 373; KB: 328) ... Both players have played in MLS since 2000, when both debuted for the Miami Fusion ...

Now in their 16th MLS campaigns, the duo have shared a locker room in 10 of those years (MIA 2000-01; RSL 2007-present) ...

TICO SABO WITH RARE MISFIRE ON PKS ... :RSL’s all-time leading scorer Alvaro Saborio has suddenly missed 2 of his last 5 spot kick attempts, with his 8’ PK attempt back in April 2013 saved by Rapids GK Clint Irwin, snapping Sabo’s 12-for-12 streak of perfection from the spot ...

The Costa Rican int’l buried one on March 29 last year against TFC ‘keeper Julio Cesar, but saw his 6’ effort April 12 at PHI saved by Zac MacMath ... The March 14, 2015 conversion from the spot improved his all-time MLS PK mark to 14-for-16 in MLS games to go along with his 4-for-4 mark in CONCACAF Champions League for RSL ...

RSL’s last PK miss prior to Sabo’s a year ago was 12 attempts earlier, as FW Robbie Findley saw his spot kick on Sept. 9, 2010, saved @SEA by GK Kasey Keller in an eventual 0-0 draw ... All-time, RSL is now 41-for-47 from the 12-yd spot ... In addition to Saborio (2013/14) and Findley (2010), other RSL players to fail to convert are Javier Morales (2008), Alecko Eskandarian (2007) and Andy Williams (2006) ...

... BUT OPEN CUP HISTORY STAYS PERFECT:With both Joao Plata and Javier Morales converting from the spot in 2013’s 12 5-2 win over Charleston, RSL continues its perfect 6-for-6 penalty kick conversion rate in Open Cup play ... Joining the active duo are Will Johnson (1-for-1), Jason Kreis (1-for-1) and Jeff Cunningham (2-for-2) ...

MULHOLLAND STEPPING UP REGULARLY:Seizing opportunity a year ago was newcomer Luke Mulholland, the midfielder a revelation for RSL, making 22 starts in 30 games for which he was eligible ...

Twice in August against DCU and SEA saw Mulholland pick out FW Joao Plata for a headed goal, with the Seattle match seeing Mulholland score the game-winner on a sweet Gil setup ... After 6 goals and 7 assists last season for the former NASL MVP and two-time NASL Best XI recipient, Mulholland scored this year against TFC and earned accolades for his play last week at San Jose ...

BANNER 2014 FOR 22-y.o. FW “PLATITA”:RSL FW Joao Plata broke the fifth metatarsal of his left foot on the first day of preseason, an unwelcome malady after RSL bought the player outright in the most recent offseason with a DP-level contract ...

The diminutive Ecuadoran led RSL with a team-leading 13 goals a year ago, his opportunity seized when FW Alvaro Saborio suffered a similar injury in Costa Rica’s 2014 World Cup prep ...

Playing at an all-star caliber level despite missing 2 stretches of games due to hamstring strains, Plata had 5 goals and 2 assists in just under 500 minutes to kick off the season ... Plata - often a spark off the bench earlier this season - had started 14 of the last 16 games for Cassar alongside various partners, now owning 43 starts in 55 all-time appearances for RSL ...

All-time, Plata now has 20 goals and 19 assists in MLS play, with 16g/14a for RSL and 3g/5a for Toronto (2011-12) ... The 22 year old FW also had 2g/2a for RSL in Open Cup play in 2013 ...

Plata’s rewards for his stellar 2014 campaign were a pair of Ecuador National Team call-ups for U.S.-based friendlies in Sept. and Oct., only Plata’s 2nd-ever inclusion in the national team setup ... For RSL, Plata had tallied a red-hot 7 goals in 12 games leading up to the Ecuador invitations ...

UNSUNG HERO AT RIGHT BACK:Veteran RSL DF Tony Beltran has earned the start in 104 of the club’s last 122 games on the right side of the back four ...

The RSL “Iron Man” - part of a 3-man outside back rotation with Chris Wingert and Robbie Russell prior to RSL’s trade of Russell to D.C. United prior to the 2012 season - has remained injury-free and playing at a high level, usually seeing days off only in exhibition or Open Cup play, or sometimes succumbing to a rotation during 3-game weeks ...

UNBEATEN CENTER-BACK PAIRING:With the offseason salary-cap move of long-time vet DF Nat Borchers to Portland, RSL brought back another icon from the club’s glory days - Colombian DF Jamison Olave - to pair with mainstay Chris Schuler, who assumed Olave’s starting spot with the 2012 move of Olave to New York Red Bulls three seasons ago ...

Olave and Schuler had posted an unbeaten 4-0-0 mark for the team when starting together in 2010/11 in the diamond 4-4-2 setup, prior to the 2-0-2 start this season in the club’s 4-3-3 look ...

While the 6-0-2 mark is a small sample size, the Olave/Borchers combination achieved a 40-21-27 mark from 2009-11 by comparison ...

LATE-GAME HEROICS MAKE RSL “BELIEVE”:Allen’s late goal last week v TFC gave RSL its 26th all-time GWG after the 75’ ... One game after an 86’ PK by FW Alvaro Saborio gave RSL its 26th all-time equalizer in the final 15 minutes of a match ...
