SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs COLORADO RAPIDS SPORTING PARK, Kansas City, Kan.

May 16, 2015 (WEEK 11, MLS Game #105) 7:30 p.m. CT (KMCI-38; Altitude)

Sporting Kansas City and the Colorado Rapids meet for the first time this season as the Western Conference clubs face off at Sporting Park on Saturday evening. Sporting return home after extending their current undefeated run to three games, following a 1-1 draw at D.C. United last weekend. The Rapids hit the road after seeing their home winless streak extended to record proportions, reaching a fourth consecutive 1-1 draw in their match with the San Jose Earthquakes at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.

The Rapids have not defeated Sporting since the 2009 season, when they won 2-1 on March 28 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Sporting have won three of the eight meetings since, with five draws, including victories in the lone meeting each of the last two seasons.

The Rapids haven’t won in Kansas City since 2002, a 2-1 win at Arrowhead Stadium. Since, Kansas City is 8-0-4 at home vs. Colorado, including a 2-1 win at Sporting Park in the last meeting there in 2013.

Coaches record: Peter Vermes vs. COL: P8 W3 L0 D5 … Pablo Mastroeni vs. KC: P1 W0 L1 D0 SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City made it three games without loss, coming back for a 1-1 draw with D.C. United on Saturday evening at RFK Stadium. Sporting are in a tie for fourth place in the Western Conference with 14 points from 10 matches. LAST MATCH

The game's two goals came less than three minutes apart late in the first half. United grabbed the opener in the 42nd minute. Midfielder Perry Kitchen swung a perfectly placed long ball into the area from 40 yards out, finding Chris Pontius at the far post. Pontius chested the service down and then found a trailing Jairo Arrieta, who slotted home from 10 yards out.

Yet just more than two minutes later, Sporting midfielder Roger Espinoza collected the ball 25 yards from goal, streaked towards the end line and sent in a cross towards Dom Dwyer, and he collected and finished with lethal quickness, turning and firing home from 12 yards out, KC's first goal against United in 397 minutes.

SKC manager Peter Vermes made two changes to the team that got the game’s lone goal for a victory against the Chicago Fire at Sporting Park. Erik Palmer-Brown came into the back four for Kevin Ellis, and Jacob Peterson started out wide in place of Krisztian Nemeth.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Tim Melia - Jalil Anibaba, Erik Palmer-Brown, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic - Soni Mustivar - Benny Feilhaber, Roger Espinoza - Jacob Peterson (Connor Hallisey 85), Dom Dwyer (Krisztian Nemeth 71), Graham Zusi (Amadou Dia 90).

TEAM NEWS Sporting extended their undefeated streak to three games with a second consecutive road draw. They’ve come

away with points on three of five away matches this season.


“I thought we were very good all game long, tactically,” SKC manager Peter Vermes said. “I thought it was very difficult for them to try and break us down, and I thought we were good at, many times, finding opportunities on the counter. I thought our tactical awareness in the game was very good.”

Dom Dwyer scored his second goal in three matches and is now tied with Krisztian Nemeth for the SKC team lead with three goals. Dwyer was taken off for a substitute in the 71st minute, the first minutes he has not played this season.

“He was like a lone striker up there today where a lot of the times the wingers are a little bit tighter to him. He did a lot of work by himself and he got beat up quite a bit, so we wanted to get some fresh legs on those last few minutes of the game,” said Vermes.

Jacob Peterson returned to the starting lineup for the first time since April 11, as Krisztian Nemeth went to the substitutes’ bench for the first time in five matches.

Erik Palmer-Brown made his first start of the season, coming into central defense – his first appearance since coming on as a late substitute in the March 7 season opener. Palmer-Brown will now be joining the U.S. national team for the FIFA U-20 World Cup.

“I think he did well. Obviously, there are still things he can be better at but he was pretty good,” said Vermes. “There are some tactical things we could change or help him read the situations a bit better, but for a kid who has just turned 18 not too long ago, it was definitely a big step in the right direction. He has an incredible career ahead of him.”

Said Palmer-Brown: “It was hard because I had broken a wrist before, but nothing that caused me to be out for over three months. I was in a boot, not walking, so it was really tough for me. It was during a break too, so for me it was hard, but it was a good learning experience to come back from an injury like that. If it happens again, I am ready.”

There is an injury scare coming out of the United match as Graham Zusi suffered a clash of heads that leaves his availability in doubt for the weekend.

“We've got to be very smart with him,” Vermes said. “We're not going to – we've just got to make sure everything's right before we bring him back. So right now, he's very doubtful.”

COLORADO RAPIDS The Colorado Rapids made it four consecutive draws, coming back with a late equalizer for a 1-1 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes on Friday evening at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. The Rapids are in 10th place in the Western Conference with 10 points from 10 matches. LAST MATCH

The Quakes hit for the opener in the 19th minute. Directly in front of goal, Chris Wondolowski calmly settled a corner sent in by Shea Salinas before sending in a clean finish.

The equalizer for the Rapids came in the third minute of added time. Again from a corner kick, the ball was partially cleared, but only as far as James Riley at the back of the penalty area, and he floated a header over a mass of bodies and into the back of the net to leave the teams level.

Rapids head coach Pablo Mastroeni made two changes to the team that claimed a 1-1 draw with the LA Galaxy at StubHub Center. Drew Moor came into the back four for Shane O'Neill, and Dominique Badji started in place of Nick LaBrocca.

COLORADO RAPIDS (4-2-3-1): Clint Irwin - James Riley, Drew Moor, Axel Sjoberg, Michael Harrington - Lucas Pittinari, Sam Cronin (Charles Eloundou 74) - Gabriel Torres, Dillon Powers, Juan Ramirez - Dominique Badji (Vicente Sanchez 46).

TEAM NEWS The Rapids saw their home winless streak extended to 11 games, an MLS record. They last won at Dick’s

Sporting Goods Park on July 25, 2014, a 3-0 win against Chivas USA. The Chicago Fire had gone 10 games without winning at home in the 2011 season.

“The stadium needs an exorcism,” Rapids head coach Pablo Mastroeni said. “It is one of the most bizarre experiences that I’ve ever seen in a place where, in the past, we’ve been able to wriggle out of situations and do it.”

Said Drew Moor: “We just need to be better on the field and start games better at home. We want this to be a place that teams fear when they come in and it has been in the past. There’s altitude that teams start to feel in the second half. Teams start to feel it in the 60th or 70th minute but that’s only if we put the work in in the first 20-30 minutes. I know that because I’ve been a visitor here.”

The Rapids also played to their fourth consecutive draw – all with a 1-1 scoreline. The MLS record is six consecutive draws set three times – including by the Rapids in 2011. The Chicago Fire’s streak of six consecutive draws a year ago did not include any scoreless draws – the most consecutive score draws.

“I say cursed but I believe that we are the captains of our ships, the masters of our souls and I believe that we will find a way to navigate through this,” Mastroeni. “But I don’t know when, and that is the mysterious part. We’ve endured a lot, but it’s going to come.”


James Riley scored his first goal since July 11, 2010, when he netted for Seattle Sounders FC against FC Dallas. It was his third career league goal in 11 seasons and 241 MLS appearances.

“It wasn’t a celebratory moment,” Riley said. “I wish it was a game winner. Obviously we’re disappointed we still haven’t won at home. But it would be a different story if we weren’t creating chances. This is my 11th year in the league and we have honest guys in this locker room. It just takes growing pains. We need to face that adversity in battle. It’s pulling out results like this that help build that foundation of character that will help us be better in the middle and latter parts of the season.”

After missing out on the last two matches, Moor returned to the starting lineup, partnering Axel Sjoberg in central defense. It was just the second match they have formed the center back pairing.

“The defense is holding strong, guys are working hard,” Moor said. “We are 10 games in and we have a team that is brand new almost so it’s still that adversity and that gelling in battle. You can do it in practice but it’s pulling out results like this and doing the road trip that we did last week and get results like that. It helps build the foundation of character that we need to succeed.”

Dominique Badji returned to the starting lineup, but came off at halftime in favor of Vicente Sanchez – his shortest shift as a starter in MLS.

Sporting KC Game Notes | May 16, 2015 vs. Colorado Rapids | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes

Sporting KC and Colorado meet Saturday for the first of three head-to-head meetings in 2015. This will be the first intra-conference match between the teams since 2004, when Kansas City was last in the Western Conference, and the 53rd regular season meeting all-time (SKC leads 22-17-13). Recent history in the head-to-head matchup favors Sporting KC, who are unbeaten in 10 straight MLS matches against Colorado dating back to 2009 with a 5-0-5 record (including postseason). In addition, Kansas City has not lost to the Rapids at home since September 2002, a run of 14 straight MLS matches without a defeat (10-0-4 record including postseason). Each of the last two regular season meetings has ended with a late game-winner for Sporting KC. When the clubs last met at Sporting Park in August 2013, Graham Zusi buried an 88th-minute goal to give the hosts a 2-1 win. Benny Feilhaber also found the back of the net in the match. In March 2014, Zusi (50’), Feilhaber (79’) and Dwyer (92’) were on target as SKC erased a 2-1 deficit to win 3-2 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.Recent #SKCvCOL regular season meetingsDate Score Result Location05/28/2011 KC 1 at COL 1 T Dick’s Sporting Goods Park07/06/2011 KC 1 vs COL 1 T Sporting Park05/19/2012 KC 2 at COL 2 T Dick’s Sporting Goods Park08/31/2013 KC 2 vs COL 1 W Sporting Park03/29/2014 KC 3 at COL 2 W Dick’s Sporting Goods Park

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTESSPORTING KC RETURNS HOME TO FACE COLORADO RAPIDS Sporting KC begins a two-game home stand Saturday when they play host to the Colorado Rapids at Sporting Park. The clubs meet as intra-conference foes for the first time since 2004 with Sporting KC holding a 22-17-13 edge in the all-time series. Peter Vermes’ men have yet to lose at Sporting Park this season and face a Rapids side that has one win in their last 24 MLS matches dating back to July 2014. Despite sitting at the bottom of the Western Conference, Colorado has avoided defeat in eight of their first 10 games en route to a league-leading seven draws. Pablo Mastroeni’s team has recorded four consecutive 1-1 draws entering Saturday and opened the season with three straight 0-0 stalemates. Gabriel Torres (four goals) and Dillon Powers (four assists) power the Rapids going forward, while Clint Irwin is tied for second in MLS with four clean sheets. Recent history in the head-to-head matchup favors Sporting KC, who are unbeaten in 10 straight MLS matches against Colorado dating back to 2009 with a 5-0-5 record (including postseason). In addition, Kansas City has not lost to the Rapids at home since September 2002, a run of 14 straight MLS matches without a defeat (10-0-4 record including postseason).

LAST TIME OUT: SKC AND D.C. UNITED SETTLE FOR 1-1 DRAW Sporting KC secured a 1-1 draw against Eastern Conference leaders D.C. United last Saturday at RFK Stadium. Forwards Jairo Arrieta (42’) and Dom Dwyer (45’) traded goals three minutes apart in the lone regular season meeting between the two sides this season. With the road result, Sporting KC remains unbeaten (3-0-2) in 2015 versus teams from the East while D.C. United extended the club’s home unbeaten streak to 17 games in all competitions. D.C. United was held to only two shots in the opening 45 minutes but capitalized with their lone shot on goal in the 42nd minute. Perry Kitchen started the scoring sequence with a diagonal ball for Chris Pontius, who settled with his chest and immediately laid a pass back for Arrieta. The Costa Rican international made no mistake with a first-time finish for his second goal of the season and 19th of his MLS career. Sporting KC responded with the game-tying goal just three minutes later when Dom Dwyer was on the receiving end of an assist from Roger Espinoza. The Honduran international took on two D.C. United defenders on the dribble and split the double team with a pass that set up Dwyer for a left-footed strike past Hamid from eight yards out.

MELIA STEPS UP Tim Melia has started each of the last two matches in goal for Sporting KC, allowing one goal in 180 minutes of action. The sixth-year MLS veteran, who celebrated his 29th birthday on Friday, was signed in the offseason after previously representing Real Salt Lake (2010-2011) and Chivas USA (2012-2014), where he backed up MLS All-Stars Nick Rimando (RSL) and Dan Kennedy (Chivas USA). In his club debut on May 3 at Sporting Park, Melia recorded the first win and shutout of his six-year MLS career as Sporting KC blanked the Chicago Fire 1-0. His solid outing between the posts, punctuated by three sure-handed saves—one of which was nominated for MLS Save of the Week—earned him BurgerFi Man of the Match honors and Team of the Week recognition from MLSsoccer.com and SI.com.Most seasons prior to first shutout/victory in MLS historyPlayer Team 1st shutout 1st victoryTim Melia Sporting KC 6th season (2015) 6th season (2015)Chris Konopka Toronto FC 6th season (2015) 6th season (2015)Eric Kronberg Sporting KC 6th season (2011) 5th season (2010)

DWYER CLIMbING THE GOAL CHARTS Dom Dwyer moved into a tie for the team lead with three goals this season after scoring just before halftime of Sporting KC’s 1-1 draw at D.C. United last Saturday. The Englishman, who set SKC’s single-season record with 24 goals in all competitions last year, moved into a tie with Vitalis Takawira for seventh place on the club’s all-time scoring chart with his 31st career goal in all competitions. Dwyer, 24, is one goal shy of tying Mo Johnston (1996-2001) for sixth on the club’s all-time scoring chart in all competitions. His .392 goals per game rate is second best in Kansas City history (minimum 10 goals), behind only Miklos Molnar (.709) who scored 17 goals over 24 games in 2000.Top goal scorers in Sporting KC history (all competitions) Player Years with KC Goals Appearances Goals/game1.

PALMER-bROWN HEADING TO FIFA U-20 WORLD CUP Sporting KC defender Erik Palmer-Brown has been selected to the United States Under-20 Men’s National Team roster for the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup, to be held from May 30 – June 20 in New Zealand. Following Saturday’s match against Colorado, the 18-year-old Palmer-Brown will join the U-20 squad in Australia for training ahead of their first match of the tournament on May 30. Palmer-Brown has appeared in eight matches for Sporting KC across all competition, including a 90-minute outing in last Saturday’s 1-1 draw at D.C. United, since signing as a homegrown player in August 2013. He made his MLS debut in 2014 at age 17 and remains the youngest player to appear in a Major League Soccer match in club history. A Lee’s Summit, Missouri native, Palmer-Brown is a product of the Sporting Kansas City Academy and graduated from Archbishop O’Hara High School this month. He is the third player in Sporting KC’s history to represent the U.S. at a FIFA U-20 World Cup while playing for the club along with Francisco Gomez (1999) and Mikey Lopez (2013). Palmer-Brown debuted with the United States Under-20 Men’s National Team as a 16-year-old in January 2014. He participated in the 2014 Dallas Cup with the U-20’s and has since participated in three of the team’s international training camps in Argentina (September 2014), England (March 2015) and Austria (April 2015). The United States is one of 24 countries to qualify for the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup. Coached by Tab Ramos, the Yanks were drawn into Group A alongside Myanmar, New Zealand and Ukraine. The top two teams in each of the six groups – along with the top four overall third-placed teams – advance to the Round of 16 in the tournament’s Knockout Stage. The U.S. will play friendlies against Australia (May 19) and Serbia (May 24) before traveling from Australia to New Zealand for the group stage of the competition.U.S. schedule at 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup May 30: vs. Myanmar at Northland Events Centre in WhangareiJune 2: vs. New Zealand at North Harbour Stadium in AucklandJune 5: vs. Ukraine at North Harbour Stadium in Auckland

TOUGH STRETCH bECKONS Following Saturday’s game against the Colorado Rapids, Sporting KC will embark on a stretch of five straight games against opponents who qualified for the 2014 postseason. SKC will host defending Eastern Conference champion and 2014 MLS Cup finalist New England Revolution (5-2-3, 18 pts.) on Wednesday before traveling to face reigning Supporters Shield champion Seattle Sounders FC (5-3-1, 16 pts.) just three days later. The team returns to Sporting Park on May 29 to host current Western Conference leaders FC Dallas (6-2-2, 20 pts.) before locking horns again with Seattle on June 6 at Sporting Park. Following their first bye week of the season, SKC will visit Rio Tinto Stadium on June 21, where Real Salt Lake (3-2-5, 14 pts.) has lost just twice since the beginning of 2014.

DRAWS PREVALENT Ten weeks into the MLS season, 30 of 95 matches have resulted in draws -- a rate of 31.6 percent. That clip is up 4 percent from last year and nearly 8 percent from 2012. As the table currently stands, seven MLS clubs have at least four ties. Six of those seven play in the loaded Western Conference, where LA Galaxy (5), Real Salt Lake (5) and Colorado Rapids (7) have as many or more draws than Sporting Kansas City. Colorado, set to visit Sporting Park this Saturday, has recorded as many draws through 10 games as any team in league history.Number of draws in MLS (2012-present)Season Draws Percent of matches 2015 30 in 95 games 31.6%2014 89 in 323 games 26.6%2013 82 in 323 games 24.5%2012 77 in 323 games 23.8%

TOUGH TO bEAT While victories have been hard to come by early in the year, Peter Vermes’ side has proven just as hard to beat. SKC battled back from a 1-0 deficit Saturday night to earn their fourth point of 2015 when conceding first, most in MLS. Furthermore, the club’s two losses through 10 games are their fewest to start a season since 2007 and their third fewest during the non-shootout era (2000-present).Fewest losses to start a Sporting KC seasonSeason Losses Record through 10 games2000 0 8-0-2 (26 points)2003 1 4-1-5 (17 points)2005 2 4-2-4 (16 points) 2007 2 6-2-2 (20 points) 2015 2 3-2-5 (14 points)

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES (CONTINUED)FOR THE GOALKEEPERS, ONE TO FORGET While the 4-4 draw on April 25 may have been an instant classic among fans, pundits and participating field players, it will be one the goalkeepers want to forget. Luis Marin and Tyler Deric combined to make zero saves, marking just the fourth time in MLS history that a match failed to produce a single save. The other three instances—most recently a scoreless draw between Dallas and Seattle in March—combined for just seven shots on goal, while Houston and SKC combined for eight.All-time MLS matches without a save from either teamDate Result Shots on goal Venue05/18/2005 RSL 2-0 CHV 2 Rice-Eccles Stadium04/04/2009 LA 2-3 COL 5 StubHub Center03/28/2015 DAL 0-0 SEA 0 Toyota Stadium04/25/2015 HOU 4-4 KC 8 BBVA Compass Stadium

HISTORIC COMEbACK Sporting KC’s 3-2 victory over the Philadelphia Union on April 5 was just the seventh in MLS history by a team that trailed entering stoppage time. Jalil Anibaba scored a 91st-minute equalizer to set the stage for Krisztian Nemeth’s game-winner with 94 minutes on the clock.

SPORTING KC A SET PIECE THREAT Through the first 10 weeks of the season, Sporting KC has been one of the league’s most dangerous teams on set pieces. In addition to scoring four goals directly off set pieces, the team has accumulated numerous statistics that illustrate their set piece prowess.

• Sporting KC leads MLS with 32 chances created from set plays (10 more than any other team) and five assists from set plays

• Sporting KC leads MLS with five headed goals• Benny Feilhaber and Matt Besler are two of four MLS players (Brad Davis,

Stefan Ishizaki) with multiple assists from set plays (two each).

LOAN RECAP: AbDUL-SALAAM GETS FIRST WIN IN SAN ANTONIO Defender Saad Abdul-Salaam started and played 90 minutes last Saturday as the San Antonio Scorpions (1-3-1, 4 points) defeated the Carolina RailHawks (1-2-3, 6 points) 1-0 at Toyota Field for their first win and clean sheet of the 2015 NASL season. It was Abdul-Salaam’s fourth 90-minute outing for the defending NASL champions, who remain in 11th place with five matches of the spring season remaining. In Oklahoma City, meanwhile, inclement weather postponed Energy FC’s USL match against LA Galaxy II until Aug. 4.

bENNY FEILHAbER NAMED MLS PLAYER OF THE MONTH FOR APRIL Sporting KC midfielder Benny Feilhaber was voted Etihad Airways MLS Player of the Month for April, the league announced on May. The veteran midfielder finished the month with two goals and three assists, including the first brace of his five-year MLS career. Feilhaber, 30, is tied for first in MLS with five assists in 2015. During a month in which Feilhaber played every minute in SKC’s four games, he started strong by setting up two goals with corner kicks in a 3-2 comeback victory over the Philadelphia Union on April 5. Named the Man of the Match in a scoreless draw against Real Salt Lake on April 11, Feilhaber then became the second fastest SKC player all-time to reach the five-assist mark in a season—doing so in his seventh league appearance—when he provided the final pass for Krisztian Nemeth’s equalizer at the LA Galaxy on April 18. Feilhaber capped off April with the first brace of his MLS career in a wild 4-4 draw at Houston. Down 3-2 in the 80th minute, Feilhaber leveled the match with a well-placed penalty kick past goalkeeper Tyler Deric. After the Dynamo regained the lead minutes later, Feilhaber’s stoppage-time blast, which was voted MLS Goal of the Week, gave Sporting KC its fifth consecutive result in Houston.

ROAD WARRIORS Sporting KC has won 30 away matches in MLS since the beginning of 2011, more than any other club, including eight road wins in each of the previous three regular seasons. Their 24 road wins from 2012-2014 are the most of any MLS club over a three-year span during the non-shootout era (2000-present). Sporting KC is one of two MLS teams (Seattle Sounders FC) with a winning road record since the beginning of 2011, compiling a 30-28-19 mark away from home (including postseason).

IN-FORM FEILHAbER FAST TO FIVE ASSISTS From a playmaking perspective, Benny Feilhaber got off to one of the best starts in club history this season. At LA Galaxy on April 18, he became the second fastest player to reach the five assist mark, doing so in his seventh league appearance of 2015. Feilhaber’s role in Krisztian Nemeth’s 22nd-minute strike also marked the second time in Sporting KC history that one player has assisted five of the team’s first seven goals in a season. The only other player to accomplish that feat is winger Graham Zusi, who needed just four games to reach five assists in 2012 and also set up five of the club’s first seven goals that year. Feilhaber’s 25 chances created through Week 10 rank fifth in MLS, five behind leader Pedro Morales. With 24 regular season matches still to play in 2015, he is two assists shy of equaling his career-high, set in 2011 during his first MLS campaign with the New England Revolution. After recording a brace on April 25 at Houston, he is also two goals shy of equalling a career-best four MLS goals, set in 2011 and 2014.

GOALS GALORE IN HOUSTON The 4-4 draw between Sporting KC and Houston on April 25 was tied for the second highest scoring match in Kansas City’s 646-game MLS history (including postseason). Only a 6-4 win against Columbus during the inaugural 1996 season offered more scoring over 90 minutes plus stoppage time. Sporting KC’s four goals were also tied for the team’s second most in a road match all-time, one behind a five-goal shutout win at Colorado in 2000. The fact that Kansas City put four past a Houston defense that had previously conceded one goal in 360 minutes at BBVA Stadium this year (and led MLS with 0.57 goals allowed per game) makes the feat even more impressive.Highest scoring matches in Sporting KC historyDate Result Goals Venue05/02/1996 KC 6-4 CLB 10 Arrowhead Stadium08/16/1998 CLB 5-3 KC 8 Ohio Stadium04/25/2015 HOU 4-4 KC 8 BBVA Compass StadiumNote: seven goals scored on 11 occasions (KC is 9-2-0 in those games)

SCORING EARLY, SCORING LATE Sporting KC bookended the scoring on April 25, drawing first blood really early and salvaging a tie really late. Krisztian Nemeth’s low drive in the second minute—the fourth earliest ever conceded by Houston at home—was tied for the team’s second quickest road goal all-time. Conversely, Benny Feilhaber’s spectacular volley after 95 minutes was the team’s second latest road goal all-time and fourth latest overall.

IN-FORM DEFENDER IKE OPARA SIDELINED WITH RUPTURED ACHILLES Sporting KC announced on April 13 that defender Ike Opara has been diagnosed with a ruptured Achilles tendon in his left ankle. He suffered the injury in a scoreless draw between Sporting KC and Real Salt Lake on April 11. The 26-year-old had played every minute of the team’s first six games until that point after coming back from a season-ending surgery in his right ankle one year ago. At the time of his injury, Opara led Sporting KC (and all MLS defenders) with two goals in 2015, while also anchoring a backline that had three shutouts and conceded the fewest shots per game (9.8) of any team in the league. He led all players in 2015 with 30 interceptions and 33 aerials won, while ranking second in duels won (55). He was named to MLSsoccer.com’s Team of the Week in three of the season’s first four weeks and finished third in MLS Player of the Month voting for March.

After sitting out almost a year through injury, he returned to the pitch on March 8 and scored Sporting KC’s first goal of the season.

Sporting KC Coach bios | May 16, 2015 vs. Colorado Rapids | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes

Peter Vermes enters his seventh season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2015. He is the team’s second-longest serving head coach, and his .551 regular season winning percentage (79-60-49) is best in club history. During his tenure, he has won two major trophies – the 2012 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and the 2013 MLS Cup championship – as well as two MLS Eastern Conference regular season titles (2011, 2012). He is the second coach to lead Sporting KC to four straight postseason appearances, as well as the only person to ever win the MLS Cup as both a player and a coach with the same team. His 78

regular season wins are tied for 12th most in MLS history.

Vermes oversees all soccer operations for Sporting KC, including the active roster and the Sporting KC Juniors program. Vermes, an original member of Major League Soccer, retired from the League in 2002, closing out his playing career in Kansas City after stints with the New York/New Jersey MetroStars and Colorado Rapids.

Following a standout high school career in which he was named New Jersey Player of the Year, Vermes was a star forward and All-American at Rutgers University. After college, Vermes represented the United States in the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea, and was named 1988 Chevrolet U.S. Male Soccer Athlete of the Year for his efforts.

Vermes was an integral part of a young U.S. team at the 1990 World Cup in Italy, where he nearly scored a sensational goal against the host Azzurri. It marked the first time the United States had qualified for the World Cup in 40 years and set the stage for the progress of the U.S. National Team. In 1989 and 1990, Vermes became the first American to play in the Hungarian and Dutch First Divisions, appearing for Raba ETO and FC Volendam, respectively. He later spent five years with Figueras of the Spanish Second Division.

For MLS’s inaugural season in 1996, Vermes served as captain of the New York/New Jersey MetroStars. In 1997, he was traded to the Colorado Rapids for current Sporting KC Assistant Coach Kerry Zavagnin and played in Denver through the 1999 season, leading the Rapids to the 1997 MLS Cup Final.

Vermes joined Kansas City in 2000 for what would be the most successful seasons of his MLS career. During his first year in Kansas City, he anchored one of the best defenses in league history and won MLS Defender of the Year honors in helping lead the Wizards to the 2000 MLS Cup Championship. He retired in 2002 after appearing in 184 MLS matches and playing more than 16,000 minutes. He was nominated on the players’ ballot for the National Soccer Hall of Fame from 2007-2012. In 2013, Vermes became eligible for the veteran ballot and on October 11, 2013, Vermes was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame.

Manager | Peter VermesAssistant Coach Kerry Zavagnin first joined Kansas City in 2000 as a holding midfielder and was an integral part of the club’s midfield for the next nine seasons, during which time he helped lead the Wizards to MLS Cup (2000) and U.S. Open Cup (2004) Championships. He was named to the MLS All-Star team and the Best XI in 2004. Zavagnin’s primary duties as an assistant include: scouting, developing Sporting Kansas City’s younger players, breaking down film and assisting with training sessions, among others.

He started his professional career with the New York/New Jersey MetroStars, where he played in 39 games over two seasons. After spending one season with the Lehigh Valley Steam (USL-1), Zavagnin came to Kansas City in 2000. He played 237 games (228 starts) and logged 20,516 minutes for Kansas City, setting team records in both categories. He scored eight goals and added 22 assists in his nine seasons in Kansas City blue. Zavagnin was named Team Defender of the Year in 2001.

On top of his club success in Kansas City, Zavagnin also appeared 21 times for the United States National Team. He recorded one assist for the Red, White and Blue. The U.S. team went 15-2-4 when Zavagnin appeared. Zavagnin married his wife Mirriam prior to the 2009 season, when he became an assistant coach at the club.

Assistant Coach Zoran Savic joined Sporting Kansas City late in the 2009 season after a 30-year career at all levels of the game in the United States. A native of Gornji Milanovac, Yugoslavia, Savic began his journey through American soccer with the Buffalo Stallions of the Major Indoor Soccer League in 1980. Savic would go on to star for several MISL teams, with his most prosperous period coming with the Kansas City Comets, with whom he scored 70 goals in just over 100 appearances from 1982-1984.

After retiring as a player in 1991, Savic turned his attention to coaching in the indoor game. Savic led the Kansas City Attack from 1992-1996, winning Coach of the Year honors for the 1994-1995 season while also serving as the team’s General Manager. Savic later coached the Kansas City Comets from 2000-2005.

In 2007 Savic switched to the outdoor game, joining Chivas USA as an assistant to then-head coach Preki before moving into the commentary booth for Kansas City matches in 2008 and 2009. Savic’s career as a commentator was cut short, however, when newly installed Manager Peter Vermes tabbed Savic to be part of his coaching staff late in the 2009 season.

Assistant Coach | Zoran Savic

Assistant Coach John Pascarella played professionally for nine seasons before beginning his coaching career in 1998 at the University of Maryland. Pascarella played club soccer with Sporting Kansas City Technical Director Peter Vermes. His playing experience took him to Peru before he returned to the United States to play in the A-League and MLS.

Once his playing career was over, Pascarella began coaching as a member of Sasho Cirovski’s staff at Maryland. He then went on to

work in Northern Virginia youth soccer circles as a high school coach and Olympic Development Program coach before becoming the Head Coach and Technical Director of the Northern Virginia Royals of the USL’s Premier Development League for two seasons.

Pascarella joined Kansas City’s technical staff in 2009 and was a goalkeeper and fitness coach until 2011, when he became an assistant.

Assistant Coach | John PascarellaMateus Manoel is in his sixth season with Sporting Kansas City as Head Fitness Coach. His responsibilities cover all aspects of sport performance and science for the team, including strength and conditioning, injury prevention, field practices, nutrition, fitness monitoring (training load and readiness), player re-adaptation following rehab and recovery.

In the summer of 2010, Manoel was an Assistant Fitness Coach for the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team during the FIFA World Cup in

South Africa. He had formerly served as the Head Fitness Coach for the Mexican Men’s National Team in 2009, working with renowned coach Sven-Goran Eriksson.

Previously, he had assisted with strength and conditioning for D.C. United from the MLS, while concurrently holding the position of Sports Performance Director with Velocity Sports Performance in Alexandria, Virginia.

MATCH PREVIEW

Rapids are back out on the road this Saturday, heading east to

play Sporting Kansas City (Altitude TV), seeking to extend their

unbeaten road record to a franchise-best six games.

Pablo Mastroeni’s side go to Sporting Park off the back of a

fourth consecutive 1-1 tie, the latest of which was at home to San

Jose Earthquakes last Friday (May 8).

James Riley was on target for the Rapids, in stoppage time at

the end of the match, to cancel out a first half strike from Chris

Wondolowski. It was an 11th home game without success for the

Rapids, but their road form has been more impressive. They

have picked up seven of their 10 points away from Dick’s Sport-

ing Goods Park, with a 1-0-4 record.

Sporting Kansas City are unbeaten at home in 2015, and man-

aged a very creditable 1-1 tie at D.C. United last Saturday. Dom

Dwyer was on target for his third goal of the campaign. They

have an injury doubt over Graham Zusi, who suffered a clash of

heads with Bobby Boswell at RFK Stadium.

The Rapids will continue without midfielder Marcelo Sarvas who

is recovering following knee surgery.

this Saturday, with coverage starting from 6:00 p.m. MT. There

will also be coverage on Mile High Sports Radio (FM 94.1), as

well as Radio Luz 1650 AM.

HISTORY WITH SPORTING KC

Sporting KC will always have a ‘special’ place in the hearts of

Rapids fans, being as they were the first-ever opponents when –

as Kansas City Wiz – they ruined Colorado’s introduction to Ma-

jor League Soccer with a 3-0 win at Arrowhead Stadium.

The date was April 13, 1996 and it was the first match for both

franchises in the newly launched MLS. Featuring for the Rapids

on that occasion were: Dusty Hudock; Denis Hamlett, Ian Butter-

worth, Troy Edwards, Matt Kmosko; Steve Trittschuh, Chris Hen-

derson (Roy Wegerle 77), Dominic Kinnear; Scott Benedetti

(Richard Sharpe 77), Shaun Bartlett, Jean Harbor.

The Wiz lined-up as follows: Pat Harrington, Samuel Ekeme,

Sean Bowers, Tommy Reasoner (Scott Uderitz 83), Uche Okafor,

Matt McKeon, Preki, Mark Chung, Eric Eichmann, Frank Klopas

(Diego Gutierrez 83), Vitalis Takawira.

All Kansas City goals came in the last 20 minutes, with current

Montreal Impact head coach, Frank Klopas, among the scorers.

In all, the Rapids and Sporting KC have met 52 times. The Rap-

ids’ record against Kansas City stands at 17-22-13. Much of any

success has come in Colorado, with the Rapids returning trium-

phant on only three occasions from KC … and not since Septem-

ber 14, 2002.

The most recent meeting with Sporting Kansas City came on

March 29, 2014 when a stoppage-time goal from Dom Dwyer

secured all three points for the visitors in a dramatic 3-2 win at

Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. That stretched the Rapids’ winless

run against Sporting to eight games. Their last win against their

neighbors came on March 28, 2009, at home.

FORMER PLAYERS

Sporting Kansas City’s head coach, Peter Vermes, joined the

Rapids from the Metrostars after the inaugural season. He was a

part of the 1997 MLS Cup finalists, and would spend three years

in Colorado, making 98 appearances (8 goals). The defender

then left for Kansas City, in a trade which brought Scott Vermil-

lion the other direction. Vermes played 78 times in three seasons

for KC, before retiring.

Jacob Peterson is now in his fourth season with Sporting Kan-

sas City. He has played 69 regular season matches during that

time (6 goals). Peterson began his pro career with the Rapids,

having been selected 21st overall in the 2006 MLS SuperDraft. In

three seasons in Colorado, he made 92 appearances (8 goals).

Current Rapids defender, Michael Harrington, was third overall

pick in the 2007 MLS SuperDraft for Kansas City Wizards. He

spent six seasons with Kansas City, making 149 appearances.

He has played every minute of every game for the Rapids in

2015.

Now Director of Soccer at the Rapids, the former Argentine inter-

national striker Claudio Lopez was a player in Colorado during

their successful 2010 season, though managing to make only 11

appearances for a total of 200 minutes. He arrived in MLS from

Argentina, signing for the Wizards ahead of the 2008 season. He

LAST MEETING

Colorado Rapids 2, Sporting KC 3

Dick’s Sporting Goods Park, Commerce City, CO.

March 29, 2014

Dom Dwyer’s injury time strike handed Sporting KC a last-gasp 3-

2 win at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in the only meeting between

the clubs last season.

All five goals came in the second half, with the Rapids falling be-

hind 1-0 before taking a 2-1 lead in the 78th minute.

The Rapids got both goals from the penalty spot from Vicente

Sánchez, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the 2013 MLS Cup

Champions in their fourth game of the season. The 3-2 defeat

marked Colorado’s first under head coach Pablo Mastroeni.

Marlon Hairston and Jared Watts made their professional debuts

during the loss, with Watts playing the full 90 minutes.

TALE OF THE TAPE

LAST MATCH

Colorado Rapids 1, San Jose Earthquakes 1

Dick’s Sporting Goods Park

May 8, 2015

James Riley scored an injury-time equalizer as Colorado Rapids

came from behind to tie against San Jose Earthquakes at a rain-

swept Dick’s Sporting Good Park on Friday night.

Trailing to Chris Wondolowski’s first-half goal, the right back

placed a delicate header over the visiting defense and into the far

corner to secure Rapids’ fourth successive 1-1 score line.

And the home side would nearly snatch a winner in the dying

seconds. After Dillon Powers was denied by keeper David Bing-

ham, Lucas Pittinari hit the post with a bullet-header from close

range.

Rapids are now 1-2-7 in the Western Conference with 10 games

played.

Pablo Mastroeni made two changes from the side that had taken

a fine point at LA Galaxy last Saturday. Drew Moor replaced

Shane O’Neill at center back. Dominique Badji returned up front

so Gabriel Torres went to the right-side of midfield and Nick

LaBrocca dropped to the bench. Marc Burch was back in the

squad after a month out with a rib injury.

The Earthquakes were quicker off the blocks as the teams began

in driving rain. After only five minutes, keeper Clint Irwin made a

fine double stop. Firstly from Adam Jahn inside his area with his

hands, secondly from Sanna Nyassi outside his area with his

feet.

The visitors continued to be the better side but, ironically, Rapids

were working their way back into the game when the Earth-

quakes went ahead. The home side failed to clear a corner and

an unmarked Wondolowski deftly turned inside before squeezing

a shot home at the near post.

The lead could have been doubled soon afterwards. Tommy

Thompson’s shot was blocked by Axel Sjoberg then Wondolowski

headed straight at Irwin.

However, in the final few minutes Rapids created clear chances.

Excellent skill from Powers saw him send Torres clear but keeper

David Bingham blocked his shot.

Then the same pair combined for Powers to go clear momentarily

but the midfielder could not adjust his feet in time.

Mastroeni brought on Vicente Sanchez for Badji at the break. The

Uruguayan went to the right of midfield while Torres became the

center forward.

The substitute would have an influential second half. With nine

minutes, left his long shot was turned behind by Bingham and,

from the corner, the keeper saved Sjoberg’s header.

Then Charles Eloundou, another substitute, fired over from close

range after being sent clear.

Jahn could have secured the points for the Earthquakes at the

death but steered a shot wide. He would be made to rue the mis-

take when Riley steered that header home.

Powers and Pittinari could have won it but Rapids had to settle

for another tie.

TORRES ON HIS BEST RAPIDS RUN

His goal at LA Galaxy (May 2) was a fourth in five games for Pan-

ama international striker Gabriel Torres, who is enjoying his best

form for the Colorado Rapids, since joining in August, 2013.

He notched three goals and one assist in 2013, from seven ap-

pearances (five starts), after joining in the latter stages of the

season.

He managed three goals and one assist in a frustrating 2014,

from 23 appearances (11 starts). Torres has hit four goals (and

contributed one assist) having featured in the first ten games of

the 2015 season.

THIRD NEW FACE FROM ARGENTINA

Colorado Rapids signed striker Luis Solignac on May 1. Per

league and club policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed. He

took part in his first training session on Monday (May 11).

The 24-year-old forward arrives to Major League Soccer from

Nueva Chicago of the Argentine First Division where he has

scored two goals in 10 appearances this season. Solignac be-

comes the third Argentine player signed by the club for the 2015

regular season, joining Lucas Pittinari and Juan Ramírez at

Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.

Solignac made his professional debut for Club Atlético Platense

in 2008. A year later, he went abroad and joined Sporting Braga

of the Portuguese first division. Solignac has also played in Swe-

den and Finland during a globe-trotting career.

During his time with IFK Mariehamn in Finland, Solignac

amassed 23 goals in 47 matches.

UNBEATEN ROAD STREAK

This weekend the Rapids will aim to break the franchise record

for unbeaten games on the road. To start the season, the team

has gone 1-0-4 away from Dick’s Sporting Goods Park, equaling

the unbeaten streak they enjoyed during May-June, 2011. The

MLS record is 12, held by FC Dallas (2010).

NINTH DEFENDER USED

When 24-year-old Ben Newnam made his Rapids and MLS de-

but at New York Red Bulls, he became the ninth different player

to feature along the back line.

BURLING GOES PAST 10,000 MINUTES

Veteran MLS defender Bobby Burling was a late switch for the

Rapids’ recent match at New York Red Bulls. He replaced skip-

per Drew Moor, who felt unable to play due to issues with his

knee. Burling, who began his career with Chivas USA in 2007,

played the full 90 minutes, alongside Axel Sjoberg. In doing so,

the 30-year-old took his regular season career minutes past the

10,000 mark (he is now at 10,069).

STUBBORN RESISTANCE ENDED

When Bradley Wright-Phillips slammed the ball past Clint Irwin

from the penalty spot after 30 minutes of the match at New York

Red Bulls, it was the first goal that the Rapids had conceded on

the road this season. In fact, it was the first that the Rapids has

leaked in 340 minutes of action, stretching back to the final game

of the 2014 regular season, when Kendall Waston headed home

the winner for Vancouver Whitecaps at BC Place on October 25.

The Rapids fell some way short of the league record, held by LA

Galaxy, who went 619 minutes without conceding a goal away

from home, during the 2010 season.

SARVAS UNDERGOES SURGERY

Midfielder Marcelo Sarvas continues to recover from knee sur-

gery, carried out last month. The 33-year-old, who arrived from

LA Galaxy in January, had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee

in Los Angeles on April 27. He will remain in the city with his fami-

ly while he recuperates.

HOME RUN STRETCHES TO 11

The 1-1 draw against San Jose Earthquakes brought with it an

unwelcome record for the Rapids. The club now holds the MLS

record for winless games at home. Not since July 25, 2014 have

the Rapids’ fans cheered their players to victory at Dick’s Sport-

ing Goods Park. The side went six home games without success

at the end of 2014, and are without a win on home soil in their

opening five games of 2015. Chicago Fire went 10 home games

without a victory, albeit in a single season (2011).

MIX ‘N’ MATCH

The Rapids defense managed to keep four clean sheets from

their opening five games. They achieved this using eight different

defenders - Marc Burch, Bobby Burling, Michael Harrington, Drew

Moor, Shane O’Neill, James Riley, Axel Sjoberg and Jared Watts.

THREE WITH MAXIMUM MINUTES

Just three Rapids players have featured in all 900 minutes of the

2015 season. They are goalkeeper Clint Irwin, defender Michael

Harrington and midfielder Lucas Pittinari.

TOUGH MONTH OF MAY

After starting the month with back-to-back 1-1 ties against the LA

Galaxy and San Jose Earthquakes, the Rapids will finish the

month by playing four games in 15 days. After this weekend’s

Sporting KC trip, the Rapids will take on the Vancouver White-

caps FC (home), Seattle Sounders FC (away) and Portland Tim-

bers (home).

CHARLOTTE DEFEAT RICHMOND 3-0

The Rapids’ USL affiliate, Charlotte Independence, won their

second match in a row last Friday, downing Richmond Kickers 3

-0 at Eagle Field. Goals came from Ryan Finley, Patrick Slogic

and Rapids midfielder Marlon Hairston. Independence improves

their season record to 2-2-2 and will look to make it three in a row

on Saturday night when they take on the Harrisburg City Is-

landers. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00pm ET.
