Sporting KC Game Notes | March 17, 2018 vs. San Jose Earthquakes | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #SKCvSJ: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#SKCvSJ: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City is preparing to host the San Jose Earthquakes this Saturday night, having picked up its first win of the season with a dramatic 4-3 victory over the Chicago Fire last Saturday. Sporting KC is still searching for their first points at home, having fallen 2-0 to New York City FC in the club’s home opener on Sunday, March 4. Sporting KC has faced the Earthquakes twice last year in the MLS regular season, with Peter Vermes’ side taking the season series with a 1-0-1 record. On March 18, 2017, Sporting KC scored their first goals of the season and claimed their first victory of the campaign with a 2-1 victory over the Earthquakes at Children’s Mercy Park, as Benny Feilhaber and a David Bingham own goal made the difference. Then, on June 17, the two sides played out a 0-0 draw at Avaya Stadium with Sporting KC outshooting San Jose 14-5 but unable to find a winner. The most dramatic encounter between the two sides in 2017 came in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Semifinal on August 9. San Jose striker Danny Hoesen gave his side an early lead at Children’s Mercy Park with a brilliant strike from distance, only for Diego Rubio to equalize for Sporting KC when he turned home Jimmy Medranda’s cross later in the first half. Sporting KC pressed on looking for a winner, but eventually the game headed toward a penalty shootout. Tim Melia made two saves for his side - including the gamewinning stop on Victor Bernardez - while Diego Rubio, Ilie, Daniel Salloi and Matt Besler all netted their spot kicks for the home side. Sporting KC went on to win the U.S. Open Cup a month later, defeating the New York Red Bulls 2-1 in the Final. In the regular season, the series is tied at 24-24-8, though Sporting KC holds a 198-1 mark in games played in the Kansas City area. #SKCvSJ: Recent Meetings (Series tied 24-24-8 in regular season)

Sporting KC Game Notes | March 17, 2018 vs. San Jose Earthquakes | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes KC COOKIN’

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES Gutierrez finds himself tied for third in MLS with those two goals early in the MLS season, while he is also tied for second with five shots on goal on his six shots taken. The 27-year-old has also taken part in 44 duels in the opening two games - tied for third in MLS - winning 22 of them, which ranks third in the league. Gutierrez also leads the league in tackles (15) and tackles won (12).

Sporting Kansas City heads home once again for Saturday’s match against the San Jose Earthquakes at Children’s Mercy Park. The club dropped its first home match of the season earlier this month, suffering a 2-0 defeat to New York City FC on March 4 in the side’s season and home opener. That loss was rare. It was just the second defeat Sporting KC has suffered since the end of the 2016 season. Last year, Sporting KC went 10-1-6 in the regular season at Children’s Mercy Park, and 13-1-7 including Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup play. However, Sporting KC is winless and scoreless in its last three home games, dating back to the tail end of the 2017 campaign.

ROARING RUSSELL RIPS THROUGH

Sporting KC has not tasted victory in the confines of Children’s Mercy Park since a 2-1 win over the LA Galaxy on September 24, 2017, just four days after claiming the U.S. Open Cup over the New York Red Bulls in the same building. The win over the Galaxy punctuated a week where Sporting KC won three home matches on the bounce, only to fail to score in its next three home games.

Russell doubled Sporting KC’s lead on the stroke of halftime when he met Daniel Salloi’s precise cut-back with a composed and powerful strike beyond Fire goalkeeper Richard Sanchez to make the score 2-0 at the interval. It was the Scotsman’s first goal for the club in his second appearance, and his first goal since netting the game-winner for Derby County in a 3-0 win over Birmingham City on January 13, 2018.

If last season’s results are anything to go by, Sporting KC could snap that streak on Saturday against the Earthquakes. Peter Vermes’ side played San Jose on the same weekend a year ago - on March 18 - and scored their first goals of the season in a 2-1 win after opening the year with back-to-back goalless draws against D.C. United on the road and FC Dallas at home.

He later added his first assist with a brilliant winding run through the Chicago defense that set up Daniel Salloi to back-heelethe ball into the path of Gutierrez for the gamewinner. The last time a Sporting KC player had both a goal and an assist in the same game, Diego Rubio assisted Salloi’s opener before netting the game-winner against the LA Galaxy on September 24, 2017 - which was also Sporting KC’s most recent victory prior to Saturday’s wild clash.

Sporting Kansas City winger Johnny Russell, who was acquired in a transfer from Derby County in the English Championship over the offseason, broke out in Saturday’s 4-3 victory over the Chicago Fire by netting his first goal for the club before providing an assist on Felipe Gutierrez’s game-winner in the 86th minute.

EPIC EARTHQUAKES ENCOUNTER

Russell has not been shy of attempting to find the net since his arrival in Kansas City, and currently ranks fourth in all of MLS with 10 shots through the opening two games, while he is also second in MLS with 19 touches in the opponent’s box.

Sporting Kansas City is preparing to take on the San Jose Earthquakes this Saturday on the back of three matches against the Californians in 2017 - two in the MLS regular season and one in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Sporting KC and San Jose earned the fifth and sixth seeds in the Western Conference last season, but both fell in the MLS Cup Playoffs Knockout Round - Sporting KC to the Houston Dynamo and San Jose to Vancouver Whitecaps FC.

SALLOI DOUBLES ASSIST TOTAL, HEADING TO NATIONAL TEAM Sporting Kansas City Homegrown striker Daniel Salloi enjoyed a momentous week, first helping his side to a stunning 4-3 victory over the Chicago Fire before earning his second call-up to the Hungary Under-21 National Team just days later.

Sporting KC faced San Jose on the same weekend a year ago, earning a 2-1 victory at Children’s Mercy Park on March 18, 2017. Benny Feilhaber scored from distance in the first half - which marked Sporting KC’s first goal of the season after opening the year with two goalless draws - before Soony Saad’s late effort trickled between the legs of David Bingham to make it 2-0. San Jose’s Florian Jungwirth reduced the deficit in additional time at the end of the second half, but Sporting KC held on to claim all three points for the first time in 2017.

After appearing in the season-opening defeat to New York City FC off the bench, Salloi earned his first start of the campaign on the left wing against Chicago on Saturday. The 21-year-old quickly made an impact, with his low cross finding Johnny Russell to slot home his side’s second goal of the game moments before halftime. With Chicago fighting back to claim a 3-2 lead and Jimmy Medranda leveling the game at 3-3, Salloi found himself at the center of attention once again in the 86th minute when he was found by Russell 12 yards out, and the Hungarian had the wherewithal to backheel the ball into space toward Gerso Fernandes - who dummied his shot - allowing Felipe Gutierrez to slam home the winner.

The second meeting, this one at Avaya Stadium in San Jose on June 17, resulted in a 0-0 draw in a game that Sporting KC dominated but was unable to find a breakthrough. Sporting out-shot San Jose 14-5 on their own patch and had an opportunity to win it in stoppage time when Graham Zusi weaved through the ‘Quakes defense, but his low effort was denied brilliantly by Bingham in the San Jose goal.

Salloi’s two assists in the game double his MLS regular-season total to four, having recorded assists last season against the Philadelphia Union on July 6 and Chicago on July 29. Only once in 2017 did a Sporting KC player tally two assists in the same game, when Graham Zusi set up both goals in a 2-0 home win over FC Dallas on August 19, 2017.

The third and final meeting of the 2017 season was also the most epic, with Sporting KC advancing to the U.S. Open Cup Final following a penalty shootout victory over the Earthquakes at Children’s Mercy Park on August 9, 2017. The visitors took the lead early on when Danny Hoesen slammed a powerful effort into the corner from outside the area, but Sporting KC worked their way back into the game and found an equalizer before halftime when Diego Rubio turned home Jimmy Medranda’s low cross. Sporting went looking for the go-ahead goal but San Jose clung on to force the game to extra time and then penalties. Benny Feilhaber and Chris Wondolowski traded misses to open the shootout, before both sides converted their next three attempts. Matt Besler took Sporting KC’s fifth-round spot kick, squeezing it in below Andrew Tarbell, before Tim Melia denied Victor Bernardez to send Sporting KC through to the tournament final.

The accolades didn’t end there, as Salloi was named to the bench of the MLS Team of the Week for Week 2, and on Wednesday, it was announced that he would link up with the Hungary U-21 team for a pair of matches in 2019 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifying. Following Saturday’s game against San Jose, Salloi will head to Hungary to host Cyprus on Thursday, March 22 at Hidegkuti Nandor Stadion in Budapest before traveling to face group leaders Belgium on Monday, March 26 at Den Dreef Stadium in Leuven.

GUTIERREZ BAGS BRACE

STREAKS SUBSIDE IN FIRE FIGHTBACK

Gutierrez first opened his and Sporting KC’s account for the 2018 MLS season with an astute header in the ninth minute, nodding the ball over Chicago goalkeeper Richard Sanchez after he had blocked Johnny Russell’s initial attempt. That goal set the tone for a pulsating match, which saw Sporting KC take a 2-0 lead before trailing 3-2 and eventually emerging as 4-3 victors - with Gutierrez also tallying the 86th-minute gamewinner.

Even the sheer number of goals scored was rare, with Sporting KC netting four goals in an MLS match for the first time since August 15, 2015, when Paulo Nagamura scored twice late against Vancouver Whitecaps FC to secure a 4-3 victory for his side. Sporting hadn’t scored four on the road since another wild one earlier in 2015 when Peter Vermes’ men escaped with a 4-4 draw with the Houston Dynamo following Benny Feilhaber’s late stunner on April 25, 2015.

Gutierrez’s performance marked the first time a Sporting KC midfielder had scored twice in a game since Paulo Nagamura netted a brace in another dramatic 4-3 victory - on August 15, 2015 against the Vancouver Whitecaps.

It wasn’t all positive, however, as the match saw an end to Sporting KC’s club-record 37-game run of conceding two or fewer goals in the MLS regular season - a streak that is good for the fifth-longest in league history. Sporting last conceded three in a match in a 3-1 defeat to the New England Revolution at Gillette Stadium on October 1, 2016.

Several records - both positive and negative - fell during Sporting Kansas City’s incredible 4-3 victory over the Chicago Fire last Saturday night. First things first, prior to Saturday’s victory, Sporting KC had never trailed on the road after the 80th minute and won in regulation. That all changed when Jimmy Medranda plundered home the 3-3 goal in the 83rd minute before Felipe Gutierrez slotted home the winner three minutes later.

Sporting Kansas City Designated Player Felipe Gutierrez showed his quality in last weekend’s thrilling 4-3 victory over the Chicago Fire at Toyota Park. The Chilean opened the scoring early on before lashing home the game-winner with just four minutes to play. The performance earned Gutierrez a spot on the MLS Team of the Week for Week 2, while his second strike finished second in Goal of the Week voting.

Sporting KC Game Notes | March 17, 2018 vs. San Jose Earthquakes | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes BESLER & ZUSI ON CUSP OF HISTORY

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

CORPORATE PARTNERS PROVIDE ENHANCEMENTS

Sporting Kansas City defendes Matt Besler and Graham Zusi are set to match several records as they play their 10th straight season with the club.

Ahead of the 2018 season, Sporting Kansas City announced that several of the club’s corporate partners were adding enhancements to Children’s Mercy Park, including Toyota, Anheuser-Busch, Audi and Coca-Cola. Toyota, a club partner since 2016, and Anheuser-Busch, a club partner since 2015, each become official First Team partners of Sporting Kansas City in 2018 through expanded partnerships.

By playing in their 10th season with Sporting KC, Besler and Zusi match legendary midfielder Davy Arnaud for most seasons in club history. On a wider scale, only two other pro athletes have longer tenures in Kansas City: Kansas City Royals (MLB) outfielder Alex Gordon and Kansas City Chiefs (NFL) linebacker Tamba Hali.

The Toyota Plaza, formerly identified as the Sporting Plaza, is located on the west side of Children’s Mercy Park and features 124,000 square feet for gameday activations and fan-friendly amenities, including two SportingStyle retail stores.

Besler is set to reach some all-time milestones in 2018 as well. With another 13 starts in MLS regular-season play, Besler will become Sporting KC’s all-time appearance leader, overtaking Arnaud who currently sits on 240 appearances in MLS action. In addition, Besler is seven starts and 505 minutes shy of overtaking current assistant coach Kerry Zavagnin as the club leader in each of those categories.

The Budweiser Brew House, a one-of-a-kind space for supporters, will makeover the northeast corner of Children’s Mercy Park. Previously known as the Members Club, the Budweiser Brew House will be redesigned as a next-generation sports bar complete with charging tables, banners celebrating monumental moments in club history, a bottle cap wall and a programmable scarf corner by incorporating elements reflective of the club’s legacy and Anheuser-Busch’s storied heritage.

Zusi, who is second among all active MLS players in assists, can also rise up the charts this season, as his next assist will tie him for 24th most in MLS history, while his next game-winning assist will tie him with Jaime Moreno for eighth most in MLS history. Additionally, Zusi’s next game winning goal will break tie with Digital Takawira for seventh most in team history.

The Audi Sport Club redesigns the stadium’s Signature Level for suite holders by introducing a more luxurious setting to complement the all-inclusive premium dining and service available to guests. The multi-year partnership, in conjunction with Kansas City Audi and Shawnee Mission Audi, enters its second season in 2018 with Audi serving as a presenting sponsor of the Sporting KC’s Behind the Shield video series, and Pitch Black, the club’s annual year-end awards gala.

THE VERMES ERA CONTINUES

Now in the midst of his 10th season at the helm of Sporting Kansas City, manager Peter Vermes is looking to guide his side to yet another postseason appearance and remain firmly in the hunt for silverware in 2018.

The Coca-Cola Champions Deck, a single-game suite located at field level in the northwest corner of Children’s Mercy Park, will also be upgraded for 2018 by now offering ticket holders exclusive, behind-the-scenes access to a climate-controlled and fully-branded premium buffet in addition to the existing in-seat food and beverage service.

Vermes is now the longest tenured coach that is actively coaching a team in Major League Soccer, having been in charge of Sporting KC since 2009 - one year longer than Ben Olsen has been running the show at D.C. United. Vermes became the longest tenured coach in MLS when former LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena took the U.S. National Team coaching gig in November 2016, having been in charge of the Galaxy since 2008.

VERMES VERBATIM

See below for Sporting KC Manager Peter Vermes’ comments following the dramatic 4-3 victory over the Chicago Fire at Toyota Park on March 10, 2018:

Vermes has guided Sporting KC to four titles during his watch, winning three Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups in 2012, 2015 and 2017, and MLS Cup in 2013. His trophy haul ranks as the second highest among active MLS coaches - only trailing the legendary Sigi Schmid, who is currently at the helm of the LA Galaxy.

On the match: “We had a really, really good first half. We knew they were going to come out in the second half and we talked about it, being at home. I think they did a good job and they had a good spirit. I’m not happy with the goals we gave up but I am happy with this early in the season having the kind of spirit that we had to not just really drop our heads and close up shop and go out of here with a loss. The fact that we got the tying goal and we still had the mentality to go get the winner, those are massive three points. This isn’t an easy place to play and they were massive three points for us.”

On a local level, Vermes’ 10 years with Sporting KC is the second longest tenure by a head coach in the history of major KC professional sports behind Super Bowl champion and Pro Football Hall of Famer Hank Stram, who served as Chiefs head coach from 1963-1974. Vermes has compiled a 145-107-84 record in all competitions with Sporting KC, including a remarkable 18-5-3 mark in U.S. Open Cup contests. Vermes’ 116 wins in MLS regular-season action ranks third among all coaches in MLS history, trailing the Galaxy’s Schmid and Los Angeles FC’s Bob Bradley, and one ahead of Orlando City SC head coach Jason Kreis.

On anticipating the Fire’s coming out hard in second half: “No, I think we have a lot of respect for the Fire and the team. They have very good players on it and there is a good mentality within the group and there’s good experience too. It’s not a surprise. I do for sure have to go back and look at the goals that came against us. I have a pretty good idea in my head and I’m not very happy with them but like I said, what’s really easy, especially away from home, you can put your head in the sand and be done. We didn’t do that. And the fact that we got the tying goal and then the winning goal really showed a lot of heart within the group.”

LOOKING TO EXTEND PLAYOFF STREAK

Sporting KC is looking to continue it’s impressive streak of postseason appearances after becoming just the sixth club in MLS history to make at least seven straight trips to the MLS Cup Playoffs, while Manager Peter Vermes is now just the fourth coach to lead the same team to seven straight playoff appearances.

On getting an away win after last week’s loss: “I’ll be honest with you. New York was better than us. They really were. They were a better team at this point in the season. They were just in form. I would think that anybody they’re going up against right now they’re going to be pretty good against those teams. I think if they’re playing like that, because they were flying, and they had an air of confidence. The hardest thing about this league is, obviously it’s long and you also want to try to peak at the right time. It was a good lesson for us last week. We also played a really good team and I think that also prepared us to play in this environment too. Getting three points on the road is always a good thing.”

On still tinkering with his lineup: “Sure, we have quite a few new guys. I’m really happy with some of the performances from the new guys today. We still have to be better in certain situations but again we have time and we have to work on that. Our whole thing is about getting better as we go instead of being the other way.
