2018 GAME NOTES

GAME 22

HOUSTON DYNAMO (7-8-6; 27 pts.) vs. SPORTING KANSAS CITY (9-6-6; 33 pts.) Saturday, August 4, 2018 · 8:00 p.m. CDT · BBVA Compass Stadium · Houston, Texas

DYNAMO LOOK TO GET BACK TO WINNING WAYS AT HOME The Houston Dynamo come out of the MLS All-Star break looking to ignite a stretch run that will vault them into the playoffs, starting with Saturday night's home game against Sporting Kansas City. The old rivals reconnect for the third time this year, and the second in league play, with each side having won once. Saturday's rubber match kick-starts a stretch of four home dates in a span of 19 days, three of which are league matches. The Dynamo will be looking to reclaim their dominant home form of the last two years and pick up the full three points in each of those contests. Matches between Houston and Sporting have traditionally been tight, hard-fought affairs, but both contests this year have been high-scoring, with Sporting winning 3-2 in Kansas City on June 23 and the Dynamo earning a 4-2 win in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup on July 18. Despite being separated by four spots in the Western Conference table, the two teams are very similar in many statistical categories. While Sporting has two more wins than Houston so far, the teams have both scored 39 goals, and Houston has conceded two more (32) than Sporting (30). They are also first and third in number of scoring chances created per game, with Sporting averaging 13.6 chances per outing and Houston averaging 11.7. Despite their recent four-game winless streak, the Dynamo remain just four points out of a playoff spot, if they were to start today, and just seven points shy of fourth. With six home games remaining in league play, those 18 potential points will be vital for the club to put themselves in good position for the postseason. Houston once again will be led by its three-headed monster on the front line, with forwards Alberth Elis (9 goals, 8 assists), Mauro Manotas (11 goals) and Romell Quioto (4 goals, 11 assists) combining for 24 of Houston's 39 goals on the year. Elis, a 2018 MLS All-Star selection, has pumped in a goal and/or an assist in 13 of the team's 21 games so far this year; and Manotas has scored in each of his last four appearances in all competitions. Quioto continues to be one of the league's best setup men, ranking second in MLS with 11 assists on the year. Getting those three going will be a key for Houston's success, not only on Saturday, but for the remainder of the season as well.

2018 GAME NOTES

GAME 22

A WIN WOULD...

2018 DYNAMO FAST FACTS

• Improve Houston's record to 8-8-6 on the season. • Snap a four-game winless streak and a two-game losing streak. • Improve Houston's home record to 7-3-2 on the year. • Improve Houston's record against Western Conference clubs to 5-5-5 on the year. • Level Houston's record against Sporting Kansas City at 1-1-0 on the year. • Improve Houston's all-time record against Sporting Kansas City to 11-612. • Give Houston a 1-0-0 record in August after going 1-2-3 in July. • Be Head Coach Wilmer Cabrera's 30th career victory in Major League Soccer. • Be Cabrera's 21st regular-season win on the Dynamo sidelines.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR ON SATURDAY • MF Arturo Alvarez can make the 250th appearance of his MLS career in regular-season competition. • FW Alberth Elis needs one goal to reach 20 in MLS regular-season play. He would become the eighth Dynamo player to hit 20 goals in league play. • Elis can record an assist in back-to-back games for the second time this season and in his career. • FW Mauro Manotas needs three goals to tie the club single-season record of 14 goals set by Erick "Cubo" Torres in 2017. • Manotas needs one goal to move into the top five in club regular-season history, tying Ricardo Clark with 28 career goals. • Manotas can score in his third consecutive league appearance and his fourth straight appearance across all competitions. • FW Romell Quioto needs one assist to reach 15 in league play for the Dynamo, which would tie him with former Dynamo DF/MF Geoff Cameron for eighth on the club's all-time list. • Quioto can score in back-to-back games for the first time this season and the second time in his career. He previously scored in consecutive games when he did so in the first three games of the 2017 season. • MF Memo Rodriguez could equal his scoring total from 2017 with a goal, which would be his second of the season. • DF Philippe Senderos can extend his career-long scoring streak to three consecutive games played. • Senderos could score his fifth goal for the club, which would be more than he has scored with any club in his career.

GAME 22 HEAD COACH COMPARISON

HOUSTON DYNAMO HEAD COACH WILMER CABRERA

SPORTING KANSAS CITY HEAD COACH PETER VERMES

Wilmer Cabrera is in his second season as the head coach of the Houston Dynamo. He was named to the position on October 28, 2016. Cabrera was previously the first head coach the Rio Grande Valley FC Toros, the Dynamo's hybrid USL affiliate. He also served time as a head coach and assistant coach in Major League Soccer and head coach of the United States Under-17 Boys National Team.

Manager Peter Vermes oversees all soccer operations for Sporting Kansas City, including the active roster and the Sporting Kansas City Academy. He has spent 10 seasons as Sporting Kansas City Manager and 13 as the club's Technical Director. Vermes has served as Sporting Kansas City’s manager since 2009, becoming the team’s all-time winningest coach and the eighth winningest coach in MLS regular season history. Over the last nine-plus years, he has amassed 123 regular season wins (123-93-79) and 148 victories in all competitions (148-105-82). He has also hoisted four major trophies — the 2013 MLS Cup and the 2012, 2015 and 2017 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups.

A native of Colombia, Cabrera is bilingual in English and Spanish and was the first Latin American head coach at the helm of a U.S. national team. He served as head coach of the United States Under-17 Boys National Team from October 2007 to January 2012 and compiled a 36-29-15 record, guiding the U.S. U-17s through two U-17 World Cup qualifying cycles ahead of the 2009 and 2011 FIFA U-17 FIFA World Cups, including progression to the Round of 16 at both tournaments. Cabrera also led his squad to a firstplace finish at the 2011 CONCACAF U-17 Championship.

Vermes, 50, has led Sporting Kansas City to a club-record seven straight playoff appearances since 2011. During this time period, he became the third coach in league history to win at least 13 games in six consecutive regular seasons (2011-16).

Cabrera began his MLS coaching career as assistant under current FC Dallas head coach Oscar Pareja for two seasons with the Colorado Rapids (201213) before he was head coach of Chivas USA in 2014, the club’s final season in MLS.

Currently the longest tenured manager in MLS, Vermes took his position in August 2009 and helped Sporting Kansas City finish atop the Eastern Conference regular season standings in 2011 and 2012. Under his guidance, Sporting Kansas City won the 2012 U.S. Open Cup title and the 2013 MLS Cup championship, making Vermes the only person to win MLS Cup as a player and coach with the same team. He previously captained Kansas City to its first league title in 2000 as a central defender.

As the first head coach of Rio Grande Valley FC, Cabrera guided the expansion club to a record of 14-7-9 and second-place finish in the USL’s Western Conference. RGV FC had the best goal difference – plus 23 – in the Western Conference, and allowed just 24 goals, second-fewest in the 29-team USL, and fewest in the West. The Toros also led the conference with 16 shutouts and set a USL-record with a streak of 760 minutes without conceding a goal in July and August.

After leading his team to another playoff berth in 2014, Vermes won the 2015 Open Cup title as Sporting Kansas City collected its third major trophy over a four-year span. He is the third-winningest active MLS coach (regular season) heading into the 2017 campaign.

As a player, the former defender made 48 appearances for the Colombia National Team, including three starts at the 1998 FIFA World Cup, inclusion on the roster at the 1990 FIFA World Cup, and a role at four Copa America tournaments (1989, ’91, ’95 and ’97). His 20-year professional playing career began at age 17 with Independiente Sante Fe in Colombia and included spells in Argentina and Costa Rica before a final stop in the United States with the Long Island Rough Riders.

Vermes was named Kansas City’s technical director in 2006 and oversees all soccer operations at the club, including scouting, roster management and development of the Sporting Kansas City Academy.

Cabrera’s career in youth development began as an assistant coach with Suffolk (New York) Community College followed by a stint as coach with the BW Gottschee Academy in New York City.

THE LAST TIME THEY MET

DYNAMO AT SPORTING KC BOX SCORE

KANSAS CITY, KANSAS (Saturday, June 23, 2018) – The Houston Dynamo dropped a hard-fought match at Sporting Kansas City tonight, falling 3-2 as Sporting rallied for three goals in the second half. Goals from forward Daniel Salloi, Diego Rubio and Khiry Shelton in the final 31 minutes helped the hosts overcome a first-half brace from Dynamo forward Mauro Manotas that gave Houston a 2-0 lead at intermission. The match was the first of three in the next six weeks between the two old rivals, as Sporting visits Houston on July 18 in the Quarterfinals of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and again in league play on August 4. Manotas opened the scoring just seconds after the opening whistle when midfielder Tomás Martínez pressured Sporting Kansas City defender Ike Opara and managed to toe poke the ball away giving a quick pass to Manotas. The Colombian striker dribbled into the penalty area, drawing the defenders and goalkeeper to him, then tucked a low left-footed pass inside the left post in the second minute of play. Manotas bookended a dominant first half for the Dynamo with his second tally of the game, this one coming just moments before the halftime whistle. During the final minute of the half, Martínez laid the ball off to forward Romell Quioto, who spotted defender DaMarcus Beasley streaking in behind the Sporting back line and played a perfectly-weighted pass through to the U.S. international. Beasley, playing in his career-high 99th game for the club, drove into the box before playing a pass across the front of goal to Manotas, who coolly buried the ball into the back of the net. Sporting Kansas City came out strong in the second half, piecing together several strong attacks. The persistence paid off in 59th minute when forward Gerso Fernandes crossed the ball in front of the net to defender Jaylin Lindsey. Lindsey’s initial shot was saved by Houston goalkeeper Joe Willis but the rebound fell to Salloi, who collected the ball and shot just past Willis, cutting the deficit in half. Houston continued to repel Sporting attacks for the next 15 minutes, but five minutes from full time, Salloi slipped a pass to Rubio, who had just come on as a substitute, and the Chilean collected and fired past Willis to level the match. Midfielder Eric Alexander drew a second yellow card in the 87th minute when he was late on a slide tackle near midfield on Sporting midfielder Ilie Sanchez. Up a man, Sporting ramped up the pressure and found the game-winner a minute later through Shelton off a low cross from Salloi.

THE LAST GAME AT PORTLAND

DYNAMO AT TIMBERS BOX SCORE

PORTLAND, ORE. (Saturday, July 28, 2018) – The Houston Dynamo, playing their fifth game in 15 days, fell 2-1 to the Portland Timbers tonight at Providence Park. Forward Romell Quioto netted his fourth goal of the season – the 11th of his Dynamo career – and forward Alberth Elis notched his eighth assist of the year in addition to a game-high three shots to key the Houston attack. Goalkeeper Joe Willis recorded four saves, including a pair of brilliant stops in a matter of seconds in the first half, and had several timely interventions on attempted through balls from Portland. An 80th minute goal from forward Fanendo Adi proved enough to give the Timbers a win in front of a partisan crowd. The goal came after a frantic sequence that saw multiple Dynamo defenders throw their bodies in front of Portland shots, showing the commitment that has characterized the club all year, before a loose ball ultimately fell to the feet of Adi, who tapped it into the net just beyond the reach of Houston goalkeeper Joe Willis. Portland jumped out to an early lead through a goal from forward Sebastián Blanco in the seventh minute. The scoring move began when midfielder Diego Valeri played a ball wide right to defender Alvas Powell, who drove to the edge of the penalty area before whipping in a cross that found Blanco at the back post for a first-touch shot. The Dynamo quickly equalized five minutes later after forward Alberth Elis picked the pocket of Portland defender Julio Cascante just outside the penalty area. The All-Star attacker stole the ball off Cascante and drove into the penalty area, drawing two defenders before attempting a shot that trickled across the face of goal. Fellow forward Romell Quioto easily ran onto the slow roller and tapped it into an empty net for his fourth goal of the year. Portland looked ready to go back on top in the 20th when Blanco found forward Dairon Asprilla behind the Houston back line, but goalkeeper Joe Willis charged off his line and got a big right hand on Asprilla’s shot before jumping on the rebound to quash the attack. Moments later, Willis came up with another big save from Asprilla, this time swatting away a bicycle kick from the Colombian and then gathering in a headed effort from Portland defender Lawrence Olum. Quioto nearly gave Houston the lead and had his first brace of the year in the 33rd minute. Defender Andrew Wenger, making his first start since early June, got free in the corner and played a ball back to midfielder Tomás Martínez at the top of the penalty area. The Argentinian playmaker whipped in a high cross and Quioto elevated to get on the end of it at the back post. His powerful header had the goalkeeper beaten but just fell inches wide of the post. Moments after the start of the second half, Elis nearly put Houston ahead with a quick right-footed blast that forced a diving save from Portland goalkeeper Jeff Attinella. Elis fended off a Portland defender inside the box on the right side and quickly got his hips turned and uncorked a low blast that was destined for the near post before Attinella’s intervention.

After Houston controlled the run of play through the first 45 minutes, holding the ball for nearly 55 percent of the first half and creating multiple dangerous chances, Portland shifted the momentum in the second half with more than 60 percent possession against a fatigued Dynamo side. Houston had a trio of late chances to even things, with two corner kicks in the final minute of regulation and a headed shot from Elis in stoppage time, but none would find their way into the net before referee Nima Saghafi blew his whistle for full time.

POURING IN THE GOALS

GOOD ON GOAL DIFFERENTIAL

The Dynamo finished the 2017 season ranked fifth in the league in scoring, averaging 1.68 goals per game. Just over halfway through this season, the team has improved on that pace with 39 goals already on the year.

The Dynamo are currently ninth in the Western Conference on 27 points, but their point total doesn't necessarily paint an accurate picture of the quality of the team through 21 games.

As they get into the second half of the year, the Dynamo are near the top of the league scoring chart again, tied for sixth with an average of 1.86 goals per game.

Houston currently is tied for the seventh-best goal differential in the league, at plus-7 on the year. This weekend's opponent, Sporting Kansas City, sits just ahead of Houston at plus-9 on the year.

Last year, the Dynamo developed a reputation throughout MLS as one of the most dangerous counterattacking teams in the league, hitting teams on the break thanks to speedy wingers Alberth Elis and Romell Quioto. Although the Dynamo have had more of the ball in 2018 than they did a year ago, they remain one of the league's most efficient teams in terms of how quickly they score. With 39 goals on the year and a shade under 50 percent possession on average, the Dynamo are averaging a goal every 23.92 minutes that they have the ball. That would make the Dynamo the fifth-most efficient team in the league so far this season.

GAME 22

MANOTAS AMONG LEAGUE'S ELITE

QUIOTO THE SETUP MAN

Dynamo FW Mauro Manotas scored his first career goal in MLS regular-season play on Sept. 9, 2016 at Sporting Kansas City. Since then, he's gone on to bag 26 more, including 11 this year, to move himself into sixth on the Dynamo's all-time scoring list.

Dynamo FW Romell Quioto had a fairly quiet start to the season, coming off the bench for the first four games as he regained his fitness after a preseason illness. Since moving into the Starting XI on April 14 at San Jose, however, the Honduran international's performance has taken off.

Moreover, Manotas ranks seventh among all MLS players in goals scored over that time span. He has averaged a goal every 147 minutes, or slightly more than a goal every 1.5 games, during that time frame to put himself in rather elite company.

During that time frame, Quioto has played a role in 17 of Houston's 29 goals, (58.6%) either by scoring them himself, assisting a teammate or playing the key ball that creates the goal; and he is tied for the second-most assists in the league, wth 11.

MAURO MOVING UP With the opening goal against Philadelphia on July 25, FW Mauro Manotas continued his ascent up the club's all-time scoring list. The goal gave him 27 in league playand one scoring strike away from fifth on the club's alltime list. Next up for Manotas is Ricardo Clark, who scored 28 goals in 253 appearances to rank fifth in club history. Manotas has been the second-most prolific scorer in club history on a per-game basis with an average of 0.50 goals per 90 minutes, trailing only his teammate Alberth Elis.

ROMELL RIGHT ON TARGET Since mid-April, FW Romell Quioto has been one of the league's most dangerous attacking threats. His 15 combined goals and assists tied for 12th in the league this season. But even before that, he was a danger to opposing teams, whipping in dangerous crosses. Quioto has whipped in 29 successful crosses from the run of play, which is the most in the league, and his 83 crosses attempted in the run of play are tops among all MLS players as well. Maybe more importantly, his .349 cross completion percentage is also in the top two in MLS.

GAME 22 LAMAR HUNT U.S. OPEN CUP NEWS & UPDATES

DYNAMO HOST LAFC IN SEMIS

Q'FINAL - DYNAMO 4-2 SPORTING KC

HOUSTON (Monday, July 23, 2018) – The Houston Dynamo are one win away from the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final and will host the Los Angeles Football Club on Wednesday, August 8 in the tournament semifinal round. The match is scheduled for a 7:30 p.m. CDT kickoff and will be live streamed at HoustonDynamo.com/LIVE and USsoccer.com.

HOUSTON (Wednesday, July 18, 2018) – The Houston Dynamo scored four consecutive goals, two each from forwards Romell Quioto and Mauro Manotas, to rally from an early 1-0 deficit to defeat Sporting Kansas City 4-2 tonight in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup quarterfinals.

This is the club’s third trip to the semifinals and its first since 2009. Houston will host the semifinal for the first time in club history; they traveled to the LA Galaxy in 2006 and played the Seattle Sounders in Seattle in 2009. The matchup was determined after Houston defeated Sporting Kansas City 4-2 and LAFC knocked off the Portland Timbers 3-2 on July 18. The date, time and location for the semifinal match were determined in a draw conducted by U.S. Soccer this afternoon. Beginning Tuesday morning, all Dynamo Season Ticket Members will have an exclusive opportunity to purchase tickets to the match before they go on sale to the general public, with Members-only pricing starting at $17. Tickets will go on sale to the general public Thursday, July 25, with prices starting at $24. As part of the draw, U.S. Soccer determined the order of priority for hosting the U.S. Open Cup Final. Houston has the second priority for hosting, after the Chicago Fire. That means that the Dynamo would play at Chicago if both teams advance to the Final; if Houston and the Philadelphia Union each win their semifinal matches, then the Final would be played at BBVA Compass Stadium. The Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup is a single-elimination tournament to determine the champion of American soccer. Teams from every level of soccer are included, from local amateur and semi-pro sides up to Major League Soccer. Each MLS club received a bye until the fourth round of the tournament. Founded in 1914, the Open Cup is the oldest national soccer competition in the United States and the second-oldest team championship in American sports. The 2018 tournament is the 105th edition of the competition. Houston advanced to the Semifinal with a 4-2 victory over Sporting Kansas City on July 18 in the Quarterfinal. They opened their Open Cup campaign with a 5-0 win over NTX Rayados, an amateur side from the Dallas area, on June 6 and then defeated Minnesota United FC 1-0 on June 18 in the Round of 16.

With the win, the Dynamo advance the semifinals of the annual knockout tournament for the third time in club history and first time since 2009. Houston will await the winner of Los Angeles FC and the Portland Timbers, who face off late Wednesday night. The date, time and location of that match will be announced in the coming days. Sporting jumped out to an early lead less than two minutes in when midfielder Gerso Fernandes won the ball from Dynamo midfielder Boniek García near midfield and sprung forward Johnny Russell down the right flank. Russell outraced the Dynamo defense and slipped a ball under Houston goalkeeper Chris Seitz. The Dynamo protested, shouting for a foul on Fernandes, but to no avail. Slightly over 30 minutes after Sporting’s goal, the Dynamo evened things up off of a free kick at the edge of the Kansas City penalty area. Midfielder Darwin Cerén was fouled as he attempted to control a pass in the 34th minute. Forward Romell Quioto stood over the free kick and confidently fired an inch-perfect shot over the wall and inside the top left corner of the goal. Just after the hour mark, the Dynamo took the lead on Quioto’s second goal of the night. Cerén played a long pass to Quioto behind the Sporting back line, and the Honduran international outran the defense and chested the ball down before placing a right-footed shot past Sporting goalkeeper Tim Melia and into the net. Forward Mauro Manotas extended the lead just three minutes later, in the 69th. Forward Alberth Elis played a through ball to Manotas, who found himself in a one-on-one situation with Melia. The Colombian’s initial shot was saved, but he was first to the rebound and quickly turned and put a left-footed shot into the back of the net. Manotas made it four late on, finishing a beautiful team buildup. Elis deftly settled a high ball with the outside of his foot, and in one motion played it to midfielder Memo Rodriguez on the right wing. The Houston native drove down the flank and curled a perfectly placed cross into the path of Manotas, who flicked a headed shot over Melia and into the net.

The Dynamo are 15-11-1 all-time in the tournament, with the one draw going to penalty kicks in 2008. Houston’s deepest run in the tournament has been to the Semifinal in 2006 and again in 2009. The Dynamo lost on the road to the LA Galaxy in the 2006 Semifinal and fell to the Seattle Sounders in Seattle in the 2009 Semifinal. This will mark the first-ever meeting between the Dynamo and LAFC in the Open Cup. Houston has played Major League Soccer’s newest expansion side once in regular-season competition, rallying late to rescue a 2-2 draw at BBVA Compass Stadium on July 3.

RD. 4 - DYNAMO 5-0 NTX RAYADOS

HOUSTON (Monday, June 18, 2018) – The Houston Dynamo advanced to the Quarterfinal of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup on the strength of a 1-0 win over Minnesota United FC tonight at BBVA Compass Stadium.

HOUSTON (Wednesday, June 6, 2018) – The Houston Dynamo kicked off their 2018 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup campaign with a 5-0 victory over NTX Rayados, an adult amateur team from the Dallas area, tonight at BBVA Compass Stadium.

After a scoreless first half, the Dynamo got on the board just after the start of the second half. In the 47th minute, defender Adam Lundkvist whipped in an in-swinging corner kick from the right side and found forward Mauro Manotas at the near post, where he flicked a headed shot into the net. The Dynamo had the first opportunity of the game just after the half-hour mark. Midfielder Eric Bird received a ball from a throw in by Lundkvist on the left side of the field. Bird passed the ball to midfielder Luis Gil, who blasted a right-footed shot from 20 yards out that was parried away by Minnesota goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth. Just before the end of the first half, midfielder Memo Rodriguez tried to give the Dynamo a lead going into the locker room. Defender Alejandro Fuenmayor sent a cross from the middle of the field to the left side finding Lundkvist. The Swede quickly fired a cross to the center of the box for Rodriguez, who tried a high shot that went just over the crossbar. Minnesota had a trio of chances in the last half-hour to level the match. In the 61st minute, forward Darwin Quintero sent a cross to forward Christian Ramirez, but his right-footed attempt was deflected by Dynamo goalkeeper Chris Seitz and out of danger. Minnesota kept pressing trying to even out the score, but Seitz denied Ramirez one more time in the 73rd minute. Quintero sent another cross to Ramirez to the left post. Ramirez hit the volley, but Seitz dove to smother the ball and maintain the advantage. The Loons looked ready to level the match late when forward Darwin Quintero stepped to the penalty spot in the 88th minute, but the Colombian winger banged his spot kick effort off the right post. The penalty was awarded by referee Guido Gonzalez when he whistled midfielder Tomás Martínez for a foul inside the box.

The Open Cup is a single-elimination tournament consisting of teams from every level of American adult soccer, and Rayados advanced from local qualifying to the Fourth Round with four consecutive wins, becoming the final local qualifier remaining in the tournament. The Dynamo opened the scoring in the 55th minute when midfielder Luis Gil played a ball to defender Alejandro Fuenmayor outside the box. The young defender chipped a cross to the middle of the box finding midfielder Memo Rodriguez. The Houston headed the ball to the ground and before connecting with his left foot and sending a low shot into the back of the net. Forward Aldo Quintanilla, signed to a short-term loan from RGV FC for the game, extended the Dynamo lead on a breakaway in the 68th minute. Gil, once again pulling the strings, played a through ball from midfield behind the Rayados back line to Quintanilla. The forward outran NTX’s defense and connected with a right-footed shot and placed the ball the away from NTX goalkeeper Eduardo Cortés. Three minutes later, Rodriguez was taken down inside the NTX penalty area trying to score, but was taken down by defender Jose Luis Burciaga. Rodriguez stepped to the spot and fired a right-footed shot to the top left-hand corner of the net to make it 3-0. Burciaga was sent off on the play after receiving his second yellow card, forcing the visitors to play a man down for the final 19 minutes. Two late goals from, forward Matías Zaldívar in the 88th and a second from Quintanilla in the first minute of stoppage, capped the scoring. The five-goal outburst in the second half followed an opening 45 minutes that featured scoring chances for both sides and several big saves from Cortés to keep the match level. In the 14th minute, Rodriguez sent a cross from the left side to the back post. Forward Arturo Alvarez rose above the defense and connected on a header, redirecting it toward goal but sending it just over the crossbar. The hosts continued to press, and in the 18th minute Rodriguez found midfielder Todd Wharton, who fired a left-footed shot from 20 yards that was deflected by Cortés. NTX Rayados also opportunities on the counter attack, but the Dynamo defense was able to rush them to shot. In the 23rd minute, forward Mohamed Sesay received a long pass and tried to outrun defender Conor Donovan, but as Donovan applied pressure, Sesay took a shot that was stopped by the Dynamo goalkeeper Chris Seitz.

ABOUT BBVA COMPASS STADIUM

BBVA Compass Stadium is a state-of-the-art, open-air stadium designed to host Houston Dynamo matches, Houston Dash matches and Texas Southern University football games as well as additional professional, collegiate and community sporting events, concerts, exhibitions, conventions and special events. Opened on May 12, 2012, the 340,000-square foot, 22,000-seat stadium is the first soccer-specific stadium in Major League Soccer located in a city’s downtown district. An architecturally stunning building, the stadium features 94,000 square feet of aluminum panels on its exterior, giving it a modern and stylish appearance. Each of the panels is 50 percent open to improve air flow throughout the concourses. Canopies extend 75 feet over the stands on the east and west sides of the stadium, and a stage canopy extends 125 feet over the south end, providing shade to soccer fans and a built-in speaker setup for concerts. With its downtown location, the stadium is a part of a true ‘Stadium District,’ which includes Minute Maid Park and the Toyota Center, as well as the George R. Brown Convention Center, Discovery Green, Warehouse Live and House of Blues. BBVA Compass Stadium was awarded the LEED® Silver certification from the U.S. Green Building Council in December 2012. The stadium has been identified as a pioneering example of new construction and sustainable design and is considered a leader in transforming the building industry.

#HOUvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City hits the road for the 11th time this MLS season for a clash with the Houston Dynamo at BBVA Compass Stadium this Saturday night. It’s the third meeting between the two sides in the space of six weeks in all competitions, with each club splitting the season series 1-1-0 following the first two matches. In the first match - an MLS regular-season bout on June 23 at Children’s Mercy Park - a brace from Mauro Manotas gave Houston a 2-0 halftime lead, only for Sporting KC to come roaring back in the second period, with Daniel Salloi reducing the deficit early in the half before late goals from Diego Rubio and Khiry Shelton earned Sporting all three points. On July 18, Sporting KC paid their first visit of the season to BBVA Compass Stadium for a U.S. Open Cup Quarterfinal, falling to a 4-2 defeat. Sporting KC took an early lead through Johnny Russell but two goals apiece from Romell Quioto and Mauro Manotas put Houston in a commanding lead prior to Yohan Croizet’s consolation goal. #HOUvSKC: Recent Meetings (HOU leads 10-6-12 in regular season)

Sporting KC Game Notes | August 4, 2018 at Houston Dynamo | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes HUNTING POINTS

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

A GRAND DON’T COME FOR FREE

Sporting Kansas City returns to road action this weekend when the side travels to take on the Houston Dynamo at BBVA Compass Stadium on Saturday night looking to snap a five-game winless run in MLS action, dating back to the end of June. Sporting KC last victory came against the Dynamo on June 23, before embarking on this current skid on June 30 with a 2-0 setback in Montreal.

During last Saturday’s 3-2 loss to FC Dallas at Children’s Mercy Park, Sporting Kansas City reached a major milestone as a club when Gerso Fernandes scored Sporting KC’s 1,000th goal in MLS regular-season history. The first goal in Sporting KC history came courtesy of Digital Takawira in the 71st minute of a 3-0 win against the Colorado Rapids at Arrowhead Stadium on April 13, 1996.

Despite losing only twice in their opening 16 games of the 2018 MLS season, Sporting KC has now gone winless in their last five, dropping four of those matches during a 0-4-1 streak. The current run comes on the back of two separate seven-game unbeaten streaks that spanned from March 10-April 20 (prior to April 28 loss at New England) and May 5-June 23 (prior to June 30 loss at Montreal).

That 1996 season also saw the then Kansas City Wiz set the club record in goals that still stands to this day - netting 61 goals in 32 games. Currently this season, Sporting KC is scoring at a rate of 1.86 goals per game, and through extrapolation SKC is on course to set a new club record with 63 goals in 2018. Sporting KC are currently one goal shy of matching last season’s total of 40 and has already scored more goals through 21 games than seven other entire seasons in club history.

The active five-game winless skid is the longest Sporting KC has had since the tail end of the 2017 season to the start of the 2018 campaign, when the club went seven games without a win - including a MLS Cup Playoffs Knockout Round defeat at the Houston Dynamo - starting with a 1-0 defeat at home against Vancouver on September 30, 2017 and ending with the 2-0 home loss to New York City FC in the 2018 season opener.

In terms of other landmark goals, Mark Chung scored the club’s 100th regular season goal in a 3-2 victory over D.C. United at Arrowhead Stadium on July 19, 1997, while the 500th goal in club history belongs to Eddie Johnson, who scored the opener in a 3-0 victory against Toronto FC at Arrowhead on April 25, 2007.

Despite the recent run, Sporting KC remains firmly in the playoff hunt in the MLS Western Conference with 33 points. Sporting also has the second best goal difference in the Western Conference with +9, and has scored the joint second most goals in the West with 39 - alongside Saturday’s opponents Houston - and only trailing LAFC’s 44.

ILIE & ZUSI ALL-STAR VERSUS JUVENTUS

RIVALRY REINTRODUCED IN HOUSTON

Andrea Favilli gave Juventus the lead in the 21st minute before MLS Golden Boot favorite Josef Martinez equalized five minutes later. The game would eventually be decided by penalties, with the Turin-based visitors prevailing 5-3 following the 1-1 draw.

Sporting Kansas City midfielder Ilie Sanchez and defender Graham Zusi both took part in the 2018 MLS All-Star game on Wednesday night when the MLS side took on Italian giants Juventus at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.

Sporting Kansas City will once again take on the Houston Dynamo this weekend - the third meeting in the space of six weeks - as the two sides face off at BBVA Compass Stadium in MLS regular-season action on Saturday night. The two sides have split the season series 1-1-0 in all competitions so far in 2018.

Neither Ilie nor Zusi started the showpiece event, but both came off the bench at the start of the second half and played the remaining 45 minutes of the contest. At the conclusion of regulation, the two sides took to the spot with Zusi burying the first penalty kick for the MLS All-Stars, while Ilie was not afforded a chance to take a penalty, as he was in line to take the fifth penalty before Bradley Wright-Phillips struck the post in the fourth round and Juventus claimed victory.

The first match this season took place at Children’s Mercy Park on June 23, with Sporting KC claiming a 3-2 victory in an absolute thriller. A brace from Dynamo forward Mauro Manotas gave the visitors a commanding 2-0 lead at the halftime interval, only for Sporting KC to fight back in the second period and pull a goal back through Daniel Salloi, before substitutes Diego Rubio and Khiry Shelton added goals in the 85th and 88th minutes for Sporting to overturn the deficit and claim all three points against Houston for the first time since 2014.

LINDSEY & KUZAIN REP AT HOMEGROWN GAME

Sporting Kansas City defender Jaylin Lindsey and midfielder Wan Kuzain Wan Kamal each represented the club at the annual MLS Homegrown game on Tuesday night. Mexican side Tigres UANL’s Under-20 side was the competition in 2018, and the MLS Homegrowns came away with a 1-1 draw after a first-half goal from Toronto FC’s Liam Fraser was cancelled out by Tigres’ Adrian Garza’s equalizer in the 77th minute.

The second meeting came in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Quarterfinals, as Houston eliminated Sporting KC from the competition and denying Peter Vermes’ squad the ability to defend its crown from 2017. On a hot night at BBVA Compass Stadium on July 18, Johnny Russell gave SKC an early lead in the second minute but the Dynamo roared back with a brace apiece from Romell Quioto and Manotas to give the hosts a 4-1 lead. Substitute Yohan Croizet cut the deficit to just two goals in second-half stoppage time but it wasn’t enough.

Lindsey started the match for the MLS Homegrowns, playing the opening 45 minutes and getting forward to good effect - seeing an effort flash wide midway through the first half. Kuzain entered the match at halftime and saw a low effort saved late in the second period as the MLS Homegrowns searched for the victory.

Sporting KC trails the all-time MLS regular-season series 6-10-12 and has won just one of their last nine matches against the Dynamo in the regular season (1-4-4). The last time SKC won in Houston in a 2-0 victory on June 6, 2014.

Lindsey and Kuzain became the third and fourth Sporting KC players to feature in an MLS Homegrown Game, joining former goalkeeper Jon Kempin and former defender Erik Palmer-Brown. Sporting KC has had at least one representative in four of the five MLS Homegrown Games since the event began in 2014.

RECORD-SETTING BUSIO BECOMES SKC’s YOUNGEST EVER

Sporting Kansas City Homegrown midfielder Gianluca Busio made history during Saturday night’s 3-2 defeat to FC Dallas at Children’s Mercy Park, when, in the 77th minute, he appeared off the bench to become Sporting KC’s youngest-ever player, and the third youngest player in history to appear in an MLS match.

GOALS GALORE

Sporting Kansas City has had few issues scoring goals so far in the 2018 season. Peter Vermes’ side has found multiple goals in 17 of the club’s 24 matches in all competitions this season and has only been shutout five times. Sporting KC is the sixth highest scoring team in MLS so far in 2018 with 39 goals, while the side has scored 46 goals when including U.S. Open Cup play.

At the tender age of just 16 years and 61 days, Busio set the new record when he replaced newly returned midfielder Felipe Gutierrez while Sporting KC were chasing a two-goal deficit. The only players to make their MLS debuts at a younger age are Freddy Adu for D.C. United at the age of 14 years and 320 days and Alphonso Davies who made his debut for Vancouver Whitecaps FC at the age of 15 years and 257 days.

Sporting KC has 14 different goalscorers so far this year in MLS play - which is the most number of different goalscorers across a single squad in the league this season. So far this season, Sporting KC has found goals from Johnny Russell (7), Daniel Salloi (7), Felipe Gutierrez (5), Diego Rubio (3), Ilie Sanchez (3), Khiry Shelton (2), Graham Zusi (2), Jimmy Medranda (2), Cristian Lobato (2), Gerso Fernandes (2), Yohan Croizet (1), Wan Kuzain Wan Kamal (1), Ike Opara (1) and Roger Espinoza (1).

Sporting KC’s previous record for youngest player was set by former Homegrown center back Erik Palmer-Brown - now on the books of reigning English Premier League champions Manchester City and on loan at Dutch side NAC Breda for the 2018-19 season - who made his debut for the club at the age of 17 years and 24 days when he faced off against the Chicago Fire on May 18, 2014. Fellow Homegrown Jaylin Lindsey is now the third youngest player in SKC history, making his debut in the 4-1 win over Minnesota United FC at Children’s Mercy Park on June 3 at the age of 18 years and 68 days.

The 6-0 triumph over Vancouver Whitecaps FC on April 20 tied club records for largest margin of victory and most goals scored in a competitive match. Sporting KC has 21 goals through 10 regular-season matches this year, having scored 40 in all of 2017. The last time Sporting KC hit six goals in an MLS match was on June 20, 1999. Sporting KC found it difficult to score on the road last season, only scoring 10 times in the club’s 17 away games in 2017 and only winning twice on the road. In 10 road games this year, Sporting KC has already surpassed last year’s total in goals with 15 and has already recorded three road wins over the Chicago Fire (March 10), the LA Galaxy (April 8) and Atlanta United FC (May 9). Sporting also only scored multiple goals on the road two times in 2017 but has done so in six of the club’s 10 away games so far in 2018.

Busio, a native of Greensboro, N.C., joined the Sporting KC Academy in 2016 and signed a Homegrown deal with the club in August 2017. He made his professional debut for the Swope Park Rangers in April 2018 before making his Sporting KC debut in the U.S. Open Cup Fourth Round victory over Real Salt Lake on June 6, 2018 - starting and playing the full 90 minutes in a 2-0 victory.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

LOOKING TO EXTEND PLAYOFF STREAK

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.

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.

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.

LONGEST MLS PLAYOFF STREAKS Club Seasons LA Galaxy 10 (1996-2005) Seattle Sounders FC 9 (2009-2017) *active LA Galaxy 8 (2009-2016) New York Red Bulls 8 (2010-2017) *active NE Revolution 8 (2002-2009) Real Salt Lake 7 (2008-2014) Sporting KC 7 (2011-2017) *active

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 the legendary Sigi Schmid, who is currently at the helm of the LA Galaxy.

Vermes has compiled a 155-113-90 record in all competitions with Sporting KC, including a remarkable 20-6-3 mark in U.S. Open Cup contests. Vermes’ 124 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.

2026 WORLD CUP HEADING TO NORTH AMERICA

VERMES VERBATIM

On a local level, Vermes’ 10 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.

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

See below for postgame reaction from Sporting KC Manager Peter Vermes following the 3-2 defeat to FC Dallas at Children’s Mercy Park on July 28, 2018. Thoughts on the match: “I think we were dangerous throughout the course of the game. I think we had very good possession for most part of the game. But at the end, we can’t give up goals like that. It’s hard to always just score more goals than the other team. At some point, you’ve got to be able to get a clean sheet or give up just one goal. We gave up way too many.”

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, which will be expanded to a 48-team format.

On the team’s defensive performance: “We can’t give up goals like that. They were easy goals. They were too easy. You can’t give up three goals in any game, let alone home, like that. Right now the inconsistency in whether you want to say it’s lineups, trainings, everything has had a major effect on that piece of it but it’s something we have to figure out and get right. Those chances, honestly, they were nothing. We gave up three goals that came out of absolutely nothing. They were three soft goals. That’s the difference in the game. We scored two goals. I know we scored one late. But it’s not a matter of scoring goals. It’s a matter of keeping the ball out of the back of the net. We knew exactly what they were going to come in here and do, and at the end that’s what the game wound up being.”

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. 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.

On the team’s health: “There’s not a guy that after the first day of preseason doesn’t play with some type of pain somewhere in any sport. First day after preseason you play hurting the whole year…Right now we have to try to continue to get healthy and get some consistency in our team and stop leaking goals the way we are at the moment…When we have our full team, I think we’re a very good team. Right now, we’ve got to try to batten down the hatches a little bit and not give these silly things away. The goals that we’re giving up are too easy.”

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.

INTERNATIONAL TOURNAMENTS RETURN TO CMP

On Wednesday, May 16, it was announced that Children’s Mercy Park will host international tournaments over the next two summers. On July 26, the U.S. Women’s National Team returned to Kansas City to beat Japan 4-2 in the Tournament of Nations, with Australia also topping Brazil 3-1 as part of a doubleheader. Then, next summer, the CONCACAF Gold Cup comes back to KC for the first time since 2015 for a doubleheader in 2019. The teams and schedules for that tournament will be announced at a later date.

On the MLS debut of Gianluca Busio: “I actually think he played really well when he came in, I really do. He didn’t play like he is 16 years old, that’s for darn sure. He’s got great understanding of the game going forward, what the game needs, where to play the ball, his decisions on the ball. I actually disappoint myself not bringing him on earlier. He was a really good spark when he came onto the field. For a 16 year old, a tremendous performance for sure.”

The U.S. WNT has now played in Kansas City eight times since its inaugural visit in 1999. Children’s Mercy Park played host to its fourth U.S WNT contest, having also welcomed crowds for a 1-1 friendly draw against Canada in 2011, a 1-0 win over Trinidad and Tobago in the 2014 CONCACAF Women’s Championship, and a 4-0 friendly victory over Costa Rica in 2016.

On the play of Gerso Fernandes: “Gerso was very good. He played really well in the game. He was dangerous. I think he caused them a lot of trouble. His movement off the ball, he was really good.”

The world-class home of Sporting Kansas City is one of 15 venues across 13 U.S. cities that will welcome the 2019 edition of the expanded CONCACAF Gold Cup, which will feature a record 16 nations next summer from June 14-July 7. The biennial tournament is the premier international competition of the North, Central American and Caribbean region, helping determine Concacaf’s representative at the 2021 FIFA Confederations Cup.

On the play of Felipe Gutierrez: “Having not played for three months, he’s got to get his form back. But he was good tonight. The biggest thing is I’m trying to push him from a fitness perspective because he’s not 90 minutes fit for sure. He gave a hell of a performance tonight in the fact that it’s his first game back and he playing as long as he did. He has things that are really going to help us down the stretch.”
