#SKCvNE: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City returns home this weekend for a matchup with the New England Revolution at Children’s Mercy Park on Saturday night. Sporting KC is looking to rebound after seeing their five-game unbeaten streak in MLS play snapped during last weekend’s defeat to the San Jose Earthquakes. The two sides faced off once last year, as Sporting KC suffered a 1-0 setback on April 28, 2018 off a controversial New England goal. Late in the first half, a ball squirmed through to an offside Teal Bunbury, who finished despite the flag being raised for offside. After conferring with his Video Assistant Referee, the man in the middle Dave Gantar awarded the goal. Sporting was unable to find an equalizer and suffered defeat. In their last home match against New England, Sporting KC overturned an early goal from former Sporting forward Teal Bunbury to claim a 3-1 win. Gerso Fernandes equalized midway through the first half before further strikes either side of halftime from Diego Rubio sealed the three points. Sporting is 25-18-11 all-time against New England but have won just two of their last seven (2-5-0) in MLS regular-season play. Sporting is also 14-7-5 at home in the all-time series. #SKCvNE: Recent Meetings (SKC leads 25-18-11 in regular season) Date

Sporting KC Game Notes | April 27, 2019 vs. New England Revolution | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes UNBEATEN RUN SNAPPED

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

RWATUBYAYE MAKES DEBUT

Last weekend’s setback against the San Jose Earthquakes at Avaya Stadium saw Sporting Kansas City’s five-game unbeaten streak in MLS play come to an end. Sporting had gone 2-0-3 since their season-opening loss to Los Angeles FC on March 3, but saw that run halted by an energetic ‘Quakes side during a 4-1 defeat.

Sporting Kansas City fans had their first opportunity to see new defender Abdul Rwatubyaye in action during last weekend’s loss to the San Jose Earthquakes at Avaya Stadium. After captain Matt Besler went down with a hamstring strain in the 15th minute, Abdul was called upon to deputize in central defense alongside Botond Barath for the remainder of the match.

However, Sporting KC’s nine-game home unbeaten run in MLS play remains intact, having gone 6-0-3 since their last loss at Children’s Mercy Park - a 3-2 defeat against FC Dallas on July 28, 2018. Sporting KC tends not to lose at home, as that FC Dallas defeat was one of just three regular-season losses since June of 2016. Sporting has posted a 29-3-14 regular-season record at Children’s Mercy Park dating back almost three years.

Abdul, 22, joined Sporting KC in early February from Rayon Sports FC in his native Rwanda, where he had spent three seasons in the top-flight Rwanda Premier League. In six years as a professional, the defender has won three Rwanda Premier League titles and played 23 matches for the Rwanda Men’s National Team, including appearances in FIFA World Cup and Africa Cup of Nations qualifying.

Peter Vermes’ side will play five of their next six matches on home soil, making for one of the biggest stretches of the year. Saturday’s match is followed by a home date with Atlanta United FC (May 5), a trip to D.C. United (May 12) and a three-game homestand versus the Vancouver Whitecaps, Seattle Sounders and LA Galaxy to round out May. Sporting will hit the road hard in June, playing four straight away matches throughout the month.

Sporting KC has now seen eight players make their debuts in 2019: goalkeeper Adrian Zendejas (in MLS play), defenders Abdul, Botond Barath, Nicolas Hasler and Rodney Wallace, midfielders Kelyn Rowe and Gedion Zelalem and forward Erik Hurtado.

ZUSI HITS 20,000

During last weekend’s disappointing 4-1 defeat against the San Jose Earthquakes at Avaya Stadium, Sporting KC veteran Graham Zusi hit a landmark few others have reached in club history.

Sporting KC has gone 2-5-0 in their last seven meetings against New England, winning sole meetings in 2015 and 2017, as part of a 25-18-11 all-time record against the Revolution. Sporting has also gone 5-1-2 against the Revs at Children’s Mercy Park since moving into the stadium in 2011, with all five wins coming by at least a two-goal margin.

In the 50th minute of the contest, Zusi reached 20,000 regular-season minutes for the club - becoming just the third player to reach that mark in Sporting history. Zusi still trails club captain Matt Besler (23,041) and current assistant coach Kerry Zavagnin (20,515) in the all-time regular-season minutes chart.

RUNNING WITH THE REVS

Sporting Kansas City returns home this weekend to take on the New England Revolution at Children’s Mercy Park on Saturday night. The Revolution have limped out of the gates, posting a 2-6-1 record across nine games - including a dismal 3-0 home defeat to the Montreal Impact on Wednesday night. The Revs are a winless 0-2-1 on the road this year, though Sporting KC are 2-5-0 against New England over their last seven meetings.

Of the 23 MLS players who have hit 20,000 regular season minutes with one team, seven currently remain on the clubs with which they reached the milestone: Besler, Zusi, Portland Timbers midfielder Diego Chara, San Jose forward Chris Wondolowski, and Real Salt Lake trio Kyle Beckerman, Tony Beltran and Nick Rimando.

Sporting and the Revolution met once in 2018, as New England took all three points in a narrow and controversial affair at Gillette Stadium almost a year ago to the day - on April 28, 2018. The Revolution scored the only goal of the game late in the first half when a ball squirmed through to Teal Bunbury behind the Sporting KC backline - with the linesman’s flag immediately going up for offside - before the former Sporting forward tucked the ball away. Referee Dave Gantar, after conferring with the Video Assistant Referee, allowed the goal and that’s how the match would finish.

Sporting Kansas City midfielder Gianluca Busio and forward Tyler Freeman were named to the U.S. Under-17 National Team roster on Monday for the 2019 Concacaf U-17 Championship, running from May 1-16 at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida.

BUSIO & FREEMAN TO JOIN U.S. U-17s

The 16-year-old Sporting KC Academy products are two of 20 players on head coach Raphael Wicky’s roster, which will see 20 nations compete for the continental crown. The four semifinalists will qualify for the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Brazil. The U.S. U-17s were drawn into Group F and will begin the tournament against Canada on Thursday, May 2 at 5 p.m. The Americans then face Barbados on Saturday, May 4 at 3 p.m. and finish group play against Guatemala on Monday, May 6 at 5 p.m. All three group stage games will be broadcast on Univision Deportes and the Concacaf GO app.

In New England’s last visit to Children’s Mercy Park on September 16, 2017, Sporting KC cruised to a 3-1 victory four days prior to winning the 2017 U.S. Open Cup. Bunbury gave the visitors an early lead before now-returned striker Krisztian Nemeth was sent off for New England, allowing Sporting to take full control of the game. Gerso Fernandes equalized before setting up Diego Rubio to give Sporting a halftime lead. Rubio added a second after the break to make the scoreline comfortable and seal all three points for the hosts.

At the 2017 Concacaf Championship, Sporting defender Jaylin Lindsey and the U.S. lost the title game to Mexico in heartbreaking fashion, falling in penalty kicks after a 1-1 draw. Busio and Freeman will look to go a step further this time around, hoping to add a fourth U.S. U-17 title after previous triumphs in 1983, 1992 and 2011.

Sporting KC holds a 25-18-11 lead in the all-time series against New England, despite their recent 2-5-0 run, including a 14-7-5 mark at home. At Children’s Mercy Park, the Revs are 1-5-2 with all five losses coming by at least two goals. Sporting KC also defeated the Revolution in the 2013 Eastern Conference Semifinals on their way to claiming their most recent MLS Cup.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE RUN COMES TO AN END

Sporting Kansas City’s deep run in the Concacaf Champions League came to a screeching halt in early April as the side was defeated in the Semifinal stage by C.F. Monterrey by a 10-2 scoreline, falling 5-0 in the First Leg at Estadio BBVA Bancomer on April 4 and 5-2 in the Second Leg on April 11 at Children’s Mercy Park.

RUSSELL ROUNDING INTO FORM

Sporting Kansas City winger Johnny Russell is in the midst of a fine vein of form, having recorded four goals and two assists in his last seven matches in all competitions, and is now tied for the team goalscoring lead alongside Krisztian Nemeth with four goals in MLS play, although Nemeth has eight across all competitions.

Sporting had seen off Mexican side Toluca in the Round of 16 by an impressive 5-0 aggregate scoreline, winning 3-0 at home and 2-0 away - marking the biggest aggregate victory of an MLS team against a Liga MX side in the tournament’s history.

Russell’s most recent strike came in a 2-2 draw with the New York Red Bulls on Sunday, April 14 at Children’s Mercy Park, receiving Nemeth’s delicate pass and rifling a low shot into the corner to give his side a 1-0 lead in the first half. Russell has only failed to score or assist in three of his last seven games - the 5-0 loss to C.F. Monterrey in the Concacaf Champions League Semifinal First Leg on April 4, the 1-1 draw with FC Cincinnati in MLS play on April 7 and the 4-1 defeat to San Jose on April 20.

In the Quarterfinals, Sporting KC faced Panamanian surprise package Club Atletico Independiente and were initially in a hole, suffering a 2-1 defeat in the First Leg at Estadio Agustin Sanchez, before rebounding at home with a resounding 3-0 victory to advance to the Semifinal stage 4-2 on aggregate. Gerso Fernandes and Krisztian Nemeth split the team-lead for goals in the tournament with four, while Gerso and Johnny Russell were tied for the team-lead with two assists over six matches. Sporting KC were the only MLS team to advance to the Semifinals, as Toronto FC was eliminated in the Round of 16 before Atlanta United FC, the Houston Dynamo and the New York Red Bulls were all knocked out in the Quarterfinals.

Outside of that, Russell salvaged a point for Sporting in a 1-1 road draw with the Colorado Rapids on March 17, tallied two goals and an assist in the 7-1 rout of the Montreal Impact on March 30, before recording another assist in the 5-2 Champions League Semifinal Second Leg defeat to Monterrey on April 11.

Sporting reached the Semifinals of the Concacaf Champions League for the first time in the tournament’s current format, though the side had previously reached the Semifinals of the Concacaf Champions Cup in 2002 before falling to Monarcas Morelia of Liga MX with both current Manager Peter Vermes & assistant coach Kerry Zavagnin on the team.

Russell, 28, has been a revelation since joining Sporting KC ahead of the 2018 season, tallying 16 goals and 17 assists across 50 appearances in all competitions while playing from a wide position.

LINDSEY UNDERGOES MENISCUS SURGERY

2026 WORLD CUP HEADING TO NORTH AMERICA

Lindsey enjoyed a breakout 2018 campaign with Sporting’s first team. The right back started nine of 10 first-team matches in all competitions, becoming the club’s youngest player to log 10 appearances in a season. He earned his first start of 2019 in the first leg of Sporting’s 4-2 aggregate win over Independiente in the CCL Quarterfinals.

The vote, which occurred a day before the start of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, also marks the first time three nations have been selected to co-host a FIFA World Cup and the first time the FIFA World Cup will be played in North America in 32 years. The United Bid offers FIFA and its 211 Member Associations unity, certainty, and opportunity as they prepare to host the largest FIFA World Cup in history.

On Tuesday, April 2, Sporting Kansas City announced that defender Jaylin Lindsey had undergone successful surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee. Lindsey, a 19-year-old Academy product, is expected to miss the next four to five months while recovering from the surgery.

The United Bid of Canada, Mexico, and the United States was selected to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Wednesday, June 13, 2018 by the 68th FIFA Congress in Moscow. Kansas City is one of 23 Candidate Host Cities in the United Bid.

Lindsey has represented the U.S. at the U-14, U-15, U-17 and U-20 levels, most recently helping the U-20s to a 2-2 draw with France and a 2-1 win over Japan last month.

With the FIFA Congress decision to award the 2026 FIFA World Cup, to the federations of Canada, Mexico, and the United States, the three nations will jointly manage preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup until FIFA establishes their operations to manage the competition. Among other decisions, FIFA will make the final selection of host cities for the 2026 competition from the 23 candidates proposed in the United Bid.

VERMES ENTERS 11th SEASON

Entering his 11th season at the helm of Sporting KC, manager Peter Vermes looks to win more hardware and guide his side to yet another postseason appearance in 2019. Despite elimination from the Concacaf Champions League in early April, Sporting KC will still aim to win the MLS Supporters’ Shield, MLS Cup and the U.S. Open Cup in 2019.

Each of the United Bid’s 23 proposed stadiums are fully built, occupied and operational, ensuring long-term use following the 2026 World Cup. The United Bid has 150 existing world-class training facilities, millions of hotel rooms, and advanced infrastructure. The United Bid is expected to generate more than $14 billion in revenue and $11 billion in profits for FIFA, which will be shared with the 211 FIFA Member Associations, helping further develop and expand the game of football across the globe.

Vermes is the longest tenured coach that is currently in charge of a team in Major League Soccer, having led Sporting KC since 2009 - one year longer than Ben Olsen has been at the helm at D.C. United. Vermes became the longest tenured coach in MLS when then LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena took the U.S. National Team job in late 2016.

In 2018, Sporting KC continued its impressive streak of postseason appearances, becoming just the sixth club in MLS history to make at least eight straight trips to the MLS Cup Playoffs, while Manager Peter Vermes is now just the third coach to lead the same team to eight straight playoff appearances.

With almost 10 years of service at Sporting KC, Vermes is one of the longest serving managers in world soccer. Among all 18 leagues with an average attendance of 10,000+, Vermes ranks second, only behind 2. Bundesliga side FC Heidenheim’s Frank Schmidt (Sept. 17, 2007 – present). Among the top 51 leagues in the world as denoted by the CIES Football Observatory, Vermes’ tenure at Sporting KC ranks as the fifth longest active run.

Vermes has guided Sporting KC to four titles under his watch, winning three Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups in 2012, 2015 and 2017, and the MLS Cup in 2013. His trophy haul ranks as the second highest among active MLS coaches - only trailing Toronto FC’s Greg Vanney’s five championships. On a local level, Vermes’ 11 years with SKC 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 was Chiefs head coach from 1963-1974.

Vermes has compiled a 170-121-97 record in all competitions with Sporting KC, including a remarkable 20-6-3 mark in U.S. Open Cup contests. Vermes’ 135 wins in MLS regular-season action ranks fifth all-time and second among active coaches in MLS, trailing Los Angeles FC’s Bob Bradley.

RECORD-SETTING 2018

Sporting Kansas City enjoyed a historic 2018 season that saw the club set new records in multiple attacking categories. Most notably, the club shattered the franchise’s all-time goalscoring record by tallying 65 goals in 34 games, eclipsing the 61 goals the then Kansas City Wizards tallied in their inaugural season in 1996.

VERMES VERBATIM

See below for comments from Sporting KC Manager and Sporting Director Peter Vermes following the 4-1 loss to the San Jose Earthquakes at Avaya Stadium on Saturday, April 20, 2019.

As well as their overall goalscoring exploits, Sporting Kansas City also set new club records in five other offensive categories: Road Goals (31), Goal Difference (+25), Assists (69), Shots (583) and Corner Kicks (206).

On the match: “I think that we had a tough time with them man-to-man. They came and they ran us off the field in most cases. It was hard for us to play through them.”

Peter Vermes’ side also found multiple goals in 25 of the club’s 40 matches in all competitions last season and was only shutout seven times. Sporting KC finished the regular season as the fourth highest scoring team in MLS with 65 goals, while the side scored 79 goals when including the MLS Cup Playoffs and U.S. Open Cup play.

On San Jose’s performance: “We gave up a lot of silly balls, but they forced them. They deserved the points tonight. (We’ve got to) get back to work and get ready for the next game.”

Sporting had 16 different goalscorers last year in MLS play - which was tied for the second highest number of goalscorers across a single squad this season. In 2018, SKC found goals from Daniel Salloi (14), Johnny Russell (10), Diego Rubio (10), Felipe Gutierrez (7), Gerso Fernandes (6), Ilie Sanchez (5), Ike Opara (3), Yohan Croizet (3), Roger Espinoza (3), Khiry Shelton (2), Graham Zusi (2), Jimmy Medranda (2), Cristian Lobato (2), Wan Kuzain Wan Kamal (1), Krisztian Nemeth (1) and Gianluca Busio (1). The 6-0 triumph over Vancouver Whitecaps FC on April 20, 2018 tied club records for largest margin of victory and most goals scored in a competitive match. Sporting KC finished the year with 65 goals in 34 regular-season matches, having scored 40 in all of 2017. The last time Sporting KC hit six goals in an MLS match was on June 20, 1999.
