UNION HOST SPORTING KANSAS CITY IN NATIONALLY TELEVISED CONTEST ON ESPN: On Sunday, September 23, Philadelphia Union returns home after their midweek win in Seattle to host Sporting Kansas City in a match that will be televised on ESPN. It is the first and only meeting of the 2018 regular season between these two clubs. The Union are an even 5-5-5 all-time against Sporting KC, including a mark of 3-2-2 at home. Philadelphia is 3-1-2 over their last six meetings against Sporting Kansas City.

ANDRE BLAKE SETS UNION RECORD FOR SAVES IN A SEASON After his ninth clean sheet of the 2018 campaign on Wednesdy at Seattle, Andre Blake now holds the Union’s franchise record for saves in a single-season (105) ... Blake entered the game tied with Zac MacMath’s 2013 single-season save total of 101 … Blake also became the Union’s all-time individual leader for goalkeeper wins in a season (13).

LAST REGULAR-SEASON MEETING: On July 6, 2017, the Union played at Children's Mercy Park in a match that finished level at 1-1. Diego Rubio opened the scoring in the 49th minute, but Roland Alberg's penalty in the 69th minute ensured a share of the points.

quotebook Philadelphia Union Head Coach Jim Curtin On Wednesday's win over Seattle ... "Obviously coming into a very difficult place to play and couldn’t be prouder of the guys to get a result here. Congrats to Seattle, too, on the run that they were on setting the record for wins in a row. A really good team, a hostile environment and one where we maybe changed our tactics a bit and sat and looked to hit on the counter. Weathered the storm in the first 15 minutes, took their best punch and were able to keep it at zero. Then as the game opened up, we were able to create some chances. We talked a lot about the character of our team is going to be shown in how we respond after a difficult and disappointing performance against Montreal. I thought that the players deserve a lot of credit for stepping up. It looked more like us tonight in terms of the competitiveness, the team defending and also breaking pretty quickly on the counter and giving a really good Seattle team some problems."

On responding to Jack Elliott's red card and getting the winning goal ... "It’s a strong group. The locker room is together. After a pretty good six-game run, we had a performance against Montreal that no one was happy with. I think we showed some character tonight, even down a man still going for it at the end. Good pressure by Jay Simpson, who we called upon, and Fafa [Picault] did good to read it and we make a play. I think the hard work and the defensive work of the guys got rewarded. I thought that Derrick Jones and Haris were asked to do a job of breaking up plays in the middle. They had a lot more recoveries than maybe on a typical night and really started some good attacks for us. I thought the defending as a team – we raised our level. And you’re rewarded when you defend collectively as a team and we were rewarded with a goal, as late as it was. I appreciate the effort from the guys and we have to move on now with a quick turnaround and assess things. We get back and maybe lose Ray [Gaddis] with an ankle, but we’ve shown that our full squad can step in and contribute. We’ll utilize everybody now going into Kansas City and then the Open Cup Final.”

Sporting KC Game Notes | September 23, 2018 at Philadelphia Union | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #PHIvSKC: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#PHIvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City heads East this weekend to take on the Philadelphia Union at Talen Energy Stadium on national television this Sunday, Sept. 23. The game, which kicks off at 12 p.m. CT on ESPN, sees both sides looking to take the lead in the all-time series that currently stands at 5-5-5. Sporting KC hosted the Union during the only encounter between the two sides in 2017, playing to a 1-1 draw at Children’s Mercy Park on July 6, 2017. Diego Rubio scored his first goal of the season to open the scoring early in the second half, before Benny Feilhaber brought down former teammate C.J. Sapong in the area. Substitute Roland Alberg stepped up to convert the spot kick in the 69th minute to tie the game up. Sporting KC had chances to win the game through Latif Blessing and Daniel Salloi but walked away with a point. The last time Sporting KC visited Talen Energy Stadium, Peter Vermes’ side succumbed to a controversial 2-0 defeat on Aug. 27, 2016 after goals from Alberg and Tranquillo Barnetta in a game that saw Jimmy Medranda and Roger Espinoza sent off though Espinoza’s red card was later rescinded by the MLS Disciplinary Committee. Sporting KC is 2-3-2 all-time on the road in Philadelphia, but has not won in Pennsylvania since 2013. The side is 0-2-0 since their last win, which came on Oct. 26, 2013, as Graham Zusi and Lawrence Olum tallied in a dramatic late 2-1 victory at Talen Energy Stadium. #PHIvSKC: Recent Meetings (Series tied 5-5-5 in regular season)

Sporting KC Game Notes | September 23, 2018 at Philadelphia Union | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes CLINCHING SCENARIOS

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

2+2=4 & WEEKLY HONORS FOR GERSO

Sporting Kansas City hits the road this weekend to take on the Philadelphia Union at Talen Energy Stadium in Chester, Pennsylvania in a nationally televised contest at noon CT on ESPN. Sporting KC enters the match knowing that a win, combined with several other results going their way, could result in a club-record eighth consecutive playoff berth by the end of the weekend.

Sporting Kansas City winger Gerso Fernandes produced a stunning performance in last weekend’s 5-1 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes at Avaya Stadium, tallying two goals and two assists as Sporting KC romped their way back to the top of the Western Conference. Saturday’s match marked Fernandes’ second multi-goal game of his MLS career following his hat trick in the 3-0 victory over Seattle Sounders FC in April 2017 - and his first-ever multi-assist match as a member of Sporting KC.

Sporting KC’s magic number is 6 following Saturday night’s drubbing of the San Jose Earthquakes. If Sporting KC take six points from their last six MLS matches, they will be guaranteed a playoff berth - regardless of how other teams fare in the Western Conference. The teams placed 2-8 in the West could theoretically leapfrog Sporting KC if they all win out, however, it’s impossible for all of these sides to win out based on common opponents in the remaining schedule.

The honors rolled in for Fernandes during the week, as he first received Audi Player Index Performance of the Week and Team of the Week recognition from MLSSoccer. com, while his first goal - a delicate chip over the onrushing Andrew Tarbell - was nominated for MLS Goal of the Week, finishing second in the public voting behind Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s stunning 500th career goal. Finally, Fernandes was one of two MLS players to earn a spot on the first FIFA 19 Team of the Week, released on Tuesday.

Sporting KC can clinch a playoff berth Sunday if... Sporting KC beats Philadelphia on Sunday (12pm), AND Atlanta United FC beats or ties Real Salt Lake on Saturday (6pm), AND Minnesota United FC beats or ties the Portland Timbers on Saturday (7pm), AND FC Dallas beats or ties Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Sunday (6pm)

Fernandes, 27, is in the midst of his second season with Sporting KC, having finished the 2017 campaign as the team’s top scorer with eight goals in MLS play and 10 strikes in all competitions. Since joining the club, only Diego Rubio (22) has more combined goals and assists for Sporting KC than Fernandes’ 21, as the Guinea-Bissau native has tallied 13 goals and seven assists in MLS action.

With 18 points taken from their last 21 available, Sporting KC remains firmly in the hunt for a top-seed in the MLS Western Conference as the side currently sits in first place with 51 points - one ahead of FC Dallas in second. Sporting also has the best goal difference in the West with +20, and has scored the joint most goals in the West with 54 - alongside LAFC.

NEMETH MARKS SECOND START WITH FIRST GOAL

Sporting Kansas City forward Krisztian Nemeth found himself back on the scoresheet for the first time since re-joining Sporting KC during Saturday’s 5-1 demolition of the San Jose Earthquakes at Avaya Stadium. Nemeth had 16 goals in all competitions during his previous one-year stint with Sporting KC in 2015 before returning to Kansas City in August via a trade with New England.

CHESTER CHALLENGE

Sporting Kansas City remains on the road this weekend when the side heads East to Chester, Pennsylvania to take on the Philadelphia Union at Talen Energy Stadium in a nationally televised contest which kicks off at 12 p.m. CT on ESPN. Sporting KC and Philadelphia are tied 5-5-5 in the all-time series since the Union joined MLS as an expansion team in 2010, including a 2-3-2 record on the road.

Nemeth found his 17th in Sporting KC colors in the 67th minute of the match when he latched onto Gerso Fernandes’ through ball and fired a poweful low shot beyond the reach of Andrew Tarbell in the San Jose goal to make the score 4-0.

Sporting KC hosted Philadelphia at Children’s Mercy Park in the only meeting between the two sides in 2017, playing to a hotly-contested 1-1 draw on July 6, 2017. Sporting KC dominated large periods of the match and were rewarded when Diego Rubio struck a stunning shot in the top corner for his first goal of the season and his first goal since returning from ACL surgery. However, San Jose responded when former Sporting KC forward C.J. Sapong was brought down in the area by Benny Feilhaber, and Roland Alberg sent Tim Melia the wrong way to equalize as the two sides split the points.

The Hungarian striker has now made six appearances since returning to Sporting KC, including two starts in the last two games. He has one goal and one assist in 224 minutes - with the assist coming on Johnny Russell’s strike against Portland on Aug. 25.

SPREADING THE WEALTH

Sporting Kansas City’s 5-1 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday continued a season-long trend that has seen Peter Vermes’ side find the back of the net at will. The 2018 MLS campaign has seen a balanced Sporting KC attack piece together one of the best scoring seasons in club history. Goals have flowed in steady bunches, and from numerous sources, both at Children’s Mercy Park and away from home.

In Sporting KC’s last visit to Talen Energy Stadium - on August 27, 2016 - Peter Vermes’ side suffered a 2-0 setback in a controversial match. After Sporting KC defender Jimmy Medranda had been shown a second yellow card and sent off, Alberg gave the hosts the lead midway through the second half. Sporting KC remained in the match through the dying embers, before Roger Espinoza was shown a straight red card by referee Juan Guzman - a decision that would eventually be overturned by the MLS Disciplinary Committee late in the week. With Sporting KC down to 10 men, Philadelphia capitalized and added a second goal through Tranquillo Barnetta in second-half stoppage time.

From a goals per game perspective, Sporting KC is currently enjoying its most prolific season ever. With 54 goals through 28 matches, the club is averaging an all-time best 1.93 goals per game. Sporting KC is seven goals shy of tying the regular-season team record of 61, set during its inaugural season in 1996.

The Union are coming off an emotional 1-0 road victory over Seattle Sounders FC on Wednesday night - putting an end to Seattle’s league-record nine-game winning streak and are also preparing for next Wednesday’s U.S. Open Cup Final against the Houston Dynamo.

Sporting KC’s stunning offense, combined with a consistently solid backline, has helped the side boast a goal difference of plus-20. That’s the third-best mark in MLS, and if the season ended today, it would be Kansas City’s best goal difference ever. From a statistical sense, this is one of Sporting KC’s most versatile attacks in club history. This is the second team in club history to have four players with seven or more MLS goals (2005). This is the second team in club history to have five players with five or more MLS goals AND five players with five or more MLS assists (1997). This is the first team in club history to have 12 players with two or more goals, and the second team in club history to have 12 players with two or more assists (1998).

GUTIERREZ IN FORM

Sporting Kansas City midfielder Felipe Gutierrez is back to the form he showed in the early stages of the season as the Chilean now has two goals and two assists in his last two matches for Sporting KC. Gutierrez produced a stunning performance against San Jose on Saturday night, tallying a goal and two assists as Sporting KC won 5-1 to reclaim top spot in the Western Conference.

OPARA HAUNTS FORMER TEAM

Sporting Kansas City defender Ike Opara scored his side’s third goal in the 5-1 rout over the San Jose Earthquakes at Avaya Stadium last Saturday. It was Opara’s second goal of the season, having also tallied in the 4-2 defeat at Real Salt Lake on July 4.

The goal marks the second consecutive game that Gutierrez has found the net, having also notched the game-winner in the 1-0 home victory over Orlando City SC on September 8. Gutierrez’s two assists - the first a stunning defense-splitting pass to set up Gerso Fernandes’ first strike and the second another perfectly weighted pass to set Fernandes through to square for Nemeth’s goal - were his first for Sporting KC since joining in the offseason from Real Betis in La Liga.

A corner kick was sent back across goal by Seth Sinovic and found Roger Espinoza, whose shot was spilled by San Jose goalkeeper Andrew Tarbell and Opara reacted quickest to side-foot the ball into the bottom corner and make the score 3-0 heading into the halftime interval. It was the first time in eight appearances that Opara had scored against his former employers, who drafted him third overall in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft before the 29-year-old arrived in Kansas City via a trade ahead of the 2013 MLS campaign.

Gutierrez raced out to a phenomenal start at Sporting KC with a league-leading five goals in March to claim MLS Player of the Month honors. The 28-year-old was just the second Kansas City player all-time to notch five goals in the first five games of a regular season, three of which were game-winners. Gutierrez underwent successful hernia surgery at the start of May and missed the next two months before making his return on July 14 as a substitute in a 3-2 loss at the New York Red Bulls. The Chilean has started each of Sporting KC’s last eight MLS matches, during which time the club is 6-2-0 with five shutouts.

Opara has now recorded 14 goals and five assists from his center back position in 126 appearances for Sporting KC over the last six seasons, and the 2017 MLS Defender of the Year is now one goal away from matching his tally from last year. 3

Sporting KC Game Notes | September 23, 2018 at Philadelphia Union | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes GOALS GALORE

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES Zusi joined Sporting KC in the 2009 MLS SuperDraft and has spent his entire professional career with the club. The University of Maryland product was named the 2011 MLS Breakout Player of the Year before landing six MLS All-Star nods (2012-2015, 2017-18) and two MLS Best XI selections (2012-13). Zusi ranks second in club history in both regular-season assists and regular-season appearances.

Sporting Kansas City has had few issues scoring goals so far in the 2018 season. Peter Vermes’ side has found multiple goals in 21 of the club’s 31 matches in all competitions this season and has only been shutout five times. Sporting KC is tied for the third highest scoring team in MLS so far in 2018 with 54 goals, while the side has scored 61 goals when including U.S. Open Cup play.

2026 WORLD CUP HEADING TO NORTH AMERICA

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.

Sporting KC has 15 different goalscorers so far this year in MLS play - which is tied for the second highest number of different goalscorers across a single squad this season. So far in 2018, SKC has found goals from Johnny Russell (8), Diego Rubio (8), Daniel Salloi (7), Felipe Gutierrez (7), Gerso Fernandes (5), Ilie Sanchez (4), Khiry Shelton (2), Graham Zusi (2), Jimmy Medranda (2), Cristian Lobato (2), Yohan Croizet (2), Ike Opara (2), Wan Kuzain Wan Kamal (1), Roger Espinoza (1) and Krisztian Nemeth (1).

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.

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 42 goals through 23 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.

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.

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 14 road games this year, Sporting KC has already surpassed the last two year’s combined total in goals with 24 and has already recorded six road wins over the Chicago Fire (March 10), the LA Galaxy (April 8), Atlanta United FC (May 9), the Houston Dynamo (Aug. 4), LAFC (Aug. 11) and San Jose (Sept. 15). Sporting also only scored multiple goals on the road two times in 2017 but has done so in eight of the club’s 14 away games so far in 2018.

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 ERA CONTINUES

Now in the midst of his 10th season at the helm of Sporting KC, manager Peter Vermes is looking to guide his side to yet another postseason appearance in 2018. With the 1-0 win over Houston on Aug. 4, 2018, Vermes coached his 302nd regular-season match becoming the all-time leader in games coached with one club in league history.

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.

Vermes is the longest tenured coach that is currently 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. 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.

Vermes has compiled a 161-114-90 record in all competitions with Sporting KC, including a remarkable 20-6-3 mark in U.S. Open Cup contests. Vermes’ 130 wins in MLS regular-season action ranks third among active coaches in MLS, trailing the Galaxy’s Schmid and Los Angeles FC’s Bob Bradley.

CONTINUITY ABOUND

On Tuesday, September 4, Sporting Kansas City announced that the club has re-signed MLS All-Star quartet Matt Besler, Roger Espinoza, Ilie Sanchez and Graham Zusi to new multi-year contracts with the club. Besler, Espinoza and Zusi were all set to become free agents at the conclusion of the 2018 MLS season, while Ilie had a club option for 2019.

VERMES VERBATIM

See below for postgame reaction from Sporting KC Manager Peter Vermes following the 5-1 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes at Avaya Stadium on September 15, 2018.

Besler, 31, is SKC’s all-time leader in appearances, starts and minutes played across all competitions. The 10-year veteran is a five-time MLS All-Star (2011, 2013-16), a twotime MLS Best XI selection (2012-13) and was named the 2012 MLS Defender of the Year. Besler has helped SKC secure four major trophies this decade, with the 2013 MLS Cup hoisted amidst three Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup titles in 2012, 2015 and 2017.

On the match overall: “I think from the opening whistle to the final whistle, I thought that we were good. I think we were dominant in the game. We thought this was going to be a really dangerous game. When a team is out of the playoffs, there’s all different things that they could be playing for, and I think that San Jose is a team that fights hard, always. We were on tonight and I think we were very clinical in and around the box which is a big part of the game. Had some great finishes, we were very confident in our buildup play, which actually created a lot of opportunities for us. And so, both defensively and offensively, we were solid tonight.”

Espinoza was a 2008 MLS SuperDraft selection that has represented no other MLS club during his 11-year professional career. He was named an MLS All-Star in 2012, the same year he helped guide the team to the U.S. Open Cup title and its best-ever regular-season record, before signing with EPL side Wigan Athletic in 2013. While in England, he helped Wigan to a historic upset against Manchester City in the 2013 FA Cup Final, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1-0 win before returning to SKC in 2015.

On Gerso Fernandes’ performance: “It was probably one of his best performances of the year. A lot of it had to do with his movement off the ball, it was just tremendous. Obviously he scored and all that, but just his movement in the game was great. I think he caused a lot of problems for their back line and a lot has to with the fact that he’s working very hard in training every week and I’m a big believer that if you do well in training it usually translates to the game. And that’s one of the reasons why he’s playing so well at the moment, he’s in good form.”

Ilie has been one of the premier defensive midfielders in MLS since signing for Sporting KC in early 2017, ranking in the top 10 in successful passes, duels won and interceptions over the last two seasons combined. During that time, the Spaniard has started all but one of Sporting KC’s games in all competitions, playing every minute in each appearance. He earned Sporting KC Newcomer of the Year honors last fall after helping the team to its third U.S. Open Cup title in six seasons. 4
