MLS GAME INFORMATION

SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs NEW YORK RED BULLS SPORTING PARK, Kansas City, Kan.

May 27, 2014 (WEEK 13, MLS Game #114) 7 p.m. CT (ESPN2/Deportes) A high-profile match kicks off ESPN2’s season schedule of Major League Soccer coverage at Sporting Kansas City play host to the New York Red Bulls on Tuesday evening at Sporting Park. Featuring the top two goalscorers in MLS in SKC’s Dom Dwyer and New York’s Bradley Wright-Phillips, both teams come into the game looking to reverse recent skids. Sporting haven’t won in three following their 2-2 home draw with Toronto FC last weekend, while the Red Bulls lost their third match in a row in a 2-1 home defeat by Portland. REFEREE: Chris Penso.

The teams split their season series a year ago, each winning on the other’s home ground. When the Red Bulls won 3-2 on Aug. 3 at Sporting Park, it was their first defeat of Kansas City since April 30, 2011. In the five meetings in between, SKC won three times, with two draws.

Sporting have come away with points on their last three visits to Red Bull Arena, including a 1-0 victory last April 17.

Coaches record: Peter Vermes vs. NY: P10 W4 L4 T2 … Mike Petke vs. KC: P2 W1 L1 T0 SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City put an end to their two-game losing slide but weren’t able to hold out for a victory, Toronto FC scoring the equalizer in stoppage time to leave the teams in a 2-2 draw Friday evening at Sporting Park. Sporting sit in a tie for second place in the Eastern Conference with 18 points from 12 games. LAST MATCH

Sporting took the lead just two minutes after the halftime restart. Dom Dwyer took the ball and turned in the TFC end. and sent a pass to Sal Zizzo on the left wing. He raced to the top of the area for a return ball, which he then left-footed first-time just inside Joe Bendik's right post.

TFC went a man down in the 63rd minute when defender Steven Caldwell was shown a straight red card by referee Baldomero Toledo for a serious foul on Sporting's Antonio Dovale.

But despite being shorthanded, TFC leveled the score four minutes later, with Luke Moore finishing a through ball from Jermain Defoe from inside the area after a giveaway in midfield.

Sporting appeared to have hit for the game-winner in the 84th minute after TFC substitute Doneil Henry brought down Igor Juliao in the box, and Dwyer calmly converted the resulting penalty kick.

But in the first minute of stoppage time, after a free kick wasn't completely cleared, Nick Hagglund lofted a pass into the mixer and Bradley Orr headed it home from close range to salvage a draw and a road point for the Reds.

Sporting manager Peter Vermes made just two changes to the team that fell 2-1 to the Chicago Fire at Toyota Park despite a significant tactical shift. Alex Martinez and Kevin Ellis came into the side in place of Claudio Bieler and the suspended Erik Palmer-Brown.


SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Eric Kronberg - Igor Juliao, Chance Myers (Sal Zizzo 36), Kevin Ellis, Seth Sinovic - Benny Feilhaber - Paulo Nagamura, Alex Martinez (Jimmy Medranda 85) - Antonio Dovale (C.J. Sapong 86), Dom Dwyer, Jacob Peterson.

TEAM NEWS Sporting saw their winless streak extended to three games with the late draw, their longest since going four

games without a win early last season. “We essentially gave two points away,” midfielder Benny Feilhaber said. “We gave them a point and threw two

in the trash. It's very frustrating. It doesn't matter the personnel we're missing. We could be missing our whole – we are missing our whole back line, basically – but it's unacceptable. We can't give up goals, especially in the last five minutes of the game and in injury time.”

Dom Dwyer scored his ninth and 10th goals of the season, now tied for the MLS Golden Boot standings with New York Red Bulls striker Bradley Wright-Phillips.

Dwyer has hit the back of the net in four straight games, with six goals in that time, just the third player in KC club history to score in at least four consecutive games (also: Preki, 1996; Eddie Johnson, 2007).

With no natural center backs available for selection due to a combination of injuries, international duty and suspension, Vermes ran out four fullbacks across his back line. Kevin Ellis, recalled from a loan to USL PRO affiliate Oklahoma City, was installed in central defense along with Chance Myers, normally Sporting's right back.

“We don’t have any of our guys that play that normally win the ball at the air. Kevin Elis is a right back, Chance [Myers] is a right back, and two of our outside backs are playing in the middle of the park. Chance goes down, you put Seth [Sinovic] in the style of play right from the get go we had to deal with,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes. “Most of the time they were whacking the back down the field and we had to deal with those big balls. I thought we did a really good job at, it’s just unfortunate that we honesty had two mistakes in the game and they both lead to goals.”

Said goalkeeper Eric Kronberg said: “That shows you that we're a team that plays together. That shows when you have people who aren't used to playing positions step in and play together, and we work hard together. Unfortunately, that last minute again – that's something we've got to fix. We've definitely addressed it, and we've worked on it. It can't keep happening.”

There was then a serious injury blow to Sporting’s season when Myers suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in his left ankle that will force him to undergo season-ending surgery.

Rookie Alex Martinez made his first career MLS start, coming into a central midfield role and playing 68 minutes. Martinez had made five substitute appearances.

“(Martinez) has proven not only to the coaching staff but also to his teammates that he can be counted on in the game to play, and he showed it,” Vermes said. “The unfortunate thing for a guy like him is that he just doesn’t have 90 minutes in him so he can go a full match because he hasn’t played 90 minutes.”

NEW YORK RED BULLS The New York Red Bulls had their losing slide extended to three matches, falling 2-1 to the Portland Timbers on Saturday evening at Red Bull Arena. The Red Bulls sit in sixth place in the Eastern Conference with 14 points from 13 matches on the season. LAST MATCH

The Red Bulls took the lead in the 35th minute after Timbers center back Pa Modou Kah brought down Lloyd Sam in the penalty area and referee Drew Fischer pointed to the spot. Bradley Wright-Phillips stepped up to take the spot kick and converted it for his 10th goal of the season.

The Timbers struck back seconds before halftime. Maximiliano Urruti saw he had space and unleashed a shot from about 20 yards out that took a deflection before beating New York goalkeeper Luis Robles.

The winner came 16 minutes before the final whistle, as Urruti struck again after a cross from the left made its way to the back post and the Timbers striker banged in the rebound.

Red Bulls boss Mike Petke made one change to the team that fell 2-0 to Toronto FC at BMO Field. Chris Duvall came in at right back in place of Kosuke Kimura.

NEW YORK RED BULLS (4-4-2): Luis Robles - Chris Duvall, Armando, Jamison Olave, Bobby Convey - Lloyd Sam, Dax McCarty, Eric Alexander (Kosuke Kimura 90), Jonny Steele (Ruben Bover 76) - Bradley Wright-Phillips (Andre Akpan 91+), Thierry Henry.

TEAM NEWS The Red Bulls suffered their third consecutive defeat, their longest losing streak since losing four in a row May

8-29, 2010, and lost for a second consecutive match at Red Bull Arena. “I’ve been in this league long enough and I’ve been through a hell of a lot longer and worse spells than we are

in right now,” said Red Bulls head coach Mike Petke. “Yeah, part of it is mental, but think about Portland. For as good as they are, to only have [two wins], that’s nuts. That’s MLS for you. I think we have confident players, but perhaps it is a mental thing, perhaps it is a little bit a lack of confidence. I don’t have that answer.”


Said goalkeeper Luis Robles: “It’s not just the two losses at home, we’ve lost three in a row so I felt like we played better today, got a little unlucky. … We definitely played better than the Chicago game at home but three games in a row losing is never easy and so we have a quick turnaround, we got to go to a tough place, go to Kansas City and we got to do our best to right the ship.”

The Red Bulls have allowed nine goals over their last four matches, after allowing just eight goals over their previous nine games.

“I'm trying to rack my brain for any poor passes or unforced errors out of the back,” said Petke. “I think part of the second goal was the clearance, (Jamison) Olave did all he could to get that ball out and we really didn't react well we they won it and they just put it right down us.”

After seeing his four-game goalscoring streak put to an end the week before, Bradley Wright-Phillips scored his 10th goal of the season, tied atop the MLS Golden Boot standings with Sporting KC’s Dom Dwyer. Wright-Phillips now has nine goals over his last six games.

“I thought we played well in the first half. Conceding that goal just before halftime killed the momentum. We got a couple of chances early in the second half, I think, and then from that point it was kind of a weird game [in both] attack and defense,” said Thierry Henry. “It was kind of weird but other than that we were creating. They weren’t too dangerous although they were dangerous on the counter attack. .... Story of the season so far, you know. We had most of the play in the beginning but that wasn’t enough.”

Chris Duvall made his first professional start against Portland, coming in at right back. Duvall, the 22nd overall selection in the 2014 SuperDraft out of Wake Forest, had made his full professional debut the week before.

The teams last met in the MLS regular season on Aug. 3, 2013 at Sport-ing Park. The Red Bulls claimed a 3-2 victory despite being outshot 27-5 by the home side.

Jonny Steele put New York ahead in the 27th minute before Kei Kamara equalized just before halftime. The visitors restored their lead in the 63rd minute with a goal from Fabian Espindola and doubled their advantage six minutes later through Lloyd Sam. A consolation goal from Dom Dwyer in the 92nd minute was not enough to salvage a draw.

Players on loanSporting KC has partnered with USL PRO clubs Orlando City SC and OKC Energy FC for the 2014 season. As part of the agreement, Sporting KC will loan players to the clubs to play games and gain experience throughout the year. Generation adidas member Mikey Lopez is with Orlando City SC, while OKC Energy FC features goalkeeper John Kempin andmidfielderChristianDuke.FormerSportingKCgoalkeeperJimmyNielsen is the head coach of the expansion OKC Energy FC.

Lopez has made eight league appearances and logged 149 minutes of action for unbeaten Orlando City SC, who currently sit atop the USL Pro standings(8-0-3,27points).LopezregisteredhisfirstassistwithOrlandoCity in a 3-1 win over the Charlotte Eagles last Wednesday. At OKC Energy FC, Kempin has made seven starts with 22 saves and Duke has contributed one assist in six appearances (416 minutes).

Sporting Park sellout streak Sporting Park has sold out 43 straight MLS matches, including four playoff games. The last time Sporting KC didn’t play in front of a sellout crowd was March 25, 2012. In those 43 matches, Sporting KC is 24-9-10, has recorded 15 shutouts, and has outscored its opponents 56-33.

Dwyer on fireDom Dwyer scored for the fourth straight MLS match in Sporting KC’s 2-2 draw vs. Toronto FC on Friday. In doing so, the English forward became the third player in Sporting KC history to score in four consecutive regular season appearances alongside Preki in 1996 and Eddie Johnson in 2007. If Dwyer scores in his next League match, he will become just the second playerinteamhistorytoscoreinfivestraightregularseasongames(Preki, 1996).

Dwyer is tied for the MLS lead with 10 goals, and he has scored nine of SportingKC’slast12goalsinLeagueplay.His10goalsthroughthefirst12 games of the season tie an all-time franchise high, as Eddie Johnson matched the feat in 2007.

19-year-old Juliao impresses in first two startsSportingKCdefenderIgorJuliaostartedhisfirstgamefortheclubinMay 14’s 2-1 home loss to Philadelphia. He became the third youngest player in club history to start a league match (now fourth youngest after Erik Palmer-Brown’s debut on Sunday) and the youngest player in team history to go the full 90 minutes in a regular season match.

The 19-year-old Brazilian wasted no time garnering League honors, as he was named to Sports Illustrated’s Week 11 MLS Best XI for two active displays on the backline (May 14, May 18). On loan from Fluminense FC through the end of 2014, Juliao led all players in tackles (6) and tackles won (5), while accumulating the second most touches (88) and winning the second most duels (9) among players who featured in Sporting KC’s loss to Philadelphia.

17-year-old Palmer-Brown makes his debutSporting KC homegrown defender Erik Palmer-Brown earned his MLS debutandfirststartfortheclubina2-1losstoChicagoonMay18.Hebecame the youngest player in MLS history to start a regular season match as a defender.

Late-game goals hurting Sporting KCIn three of Sporting KC’s four regular season defeats, the opponent has scored the game winning goal in the 81st minute or later. Seattle Sounders grabbed a 94th-minute goal in the season opener on March 8, Teal Bunbury struck a 92nd-minute winner on April 26 to knock off his former club, and Cristian Maidana scored in the 81st minute to give Philadelphia a 2-1 road win on May 14. Sporting KC also conceded stoppage time equalizers to FC Dallas on March 15 and most recently to Toronto FC on Friday. Peter Vermes’ men have dropped seven points in thefinal10minutesofactionplusstoppagetimein2014.

Vermes’ men set records in 3-0 defeat of Montreal Sporting KC recorded a record-setting 3-0 win over the Montreal Impact on May 10.

BULLETIN BOARD 2013 SUPPORTERS’ SHIELD WINNER RED BULLS TANGLE WITH MLS CUP CHAMP SPORTING KC The Red Bulls have lost three games in a row, two at home, and are in the midst of two games in three days. On Tuesday, the 2013 MLS Supporters’ Shield winner New York travels to reigning MLS Cup champions Sporting Kansas City looking for their first point since a 1-0 road victory over FC Dallas on May 4. The Red Bulls have now lost two consecutive home games after stringing together 13 unbeaten dating back to June 1st of last season. With a 3-5-5 record and stuck on 14 points, the Red Bulls are in sole possession of sixth place in the Eastern Conference. This Tuesday’s encounter will be the first of two meetings this season with the second taking place on the final day of the regular season, October 26, at Red Bull Arena. This match-up also features the two MLS Golden Boot leaders, Bradley Wright-Phillips and Dom Dwyer, against each other. Sporting Kansas City have also struggled somewhat recently and are winless in their previous three matches. Sporting KC (5-4-3, 18 points) has gained one point over that duration but still remain tied for second place in the East along with D.C. United. Here are some notes on New York’s match against Kansas City: - The Red Bulls are coming off a 2-1 home loss vs. Portland on May 24, their third straight loss. - This is the first of two meetings between the two teams. The two teams meet again for the final game of the regular season at Red Bull Arena on October 26. - This is the first nationally televised game (in English) for the Red Bulls. - Bradley Wright-Phillips, the MLS Player of the Week for Week 8, notched his 10th goal of the campaign against Portland to move into a first place tie with Sporting KC’s Dom Dwyer. - Lloyd Sam is in a five-way tie with Fabian Espindola, Brad Davis, Federico Higuain and Javier Morales, for second place in MLS with five assists. - Thierry Henry and Eric Alexander each have four assists on the season and are tied with six others for seventh in the league. - New York is the only team with three players who have at least four assists. They are one of two teams (Seattle) to have at least two players with four or more assists. - New York has three players (Armando, Olave, and Sam) that currently sit on four yellow cards. They are one caution away from having to serve a mandatory one-game suspension. - If he starts, Thierry Henry will make his 100th MLS start against Sporting Kansas City. - Henry has 44 goals and 32 assists in 103 games played since joining the Red Bulls in July 2010. The French playmaker needs four more assists to tie the Red Bulls record for career assists in regular season play (36 – Tab Ramos/Amado Guevara). - Luis Robles, despite having just two saves over his previous three matches, leads the league with 43 saves. - Sporting Kansas City, after starting the season 5-3-1, have picked up only one point over their previous three matches. That point came from a 2-2 draw on Friday at home against Toronto FC. Despite the recent struggles, Sporting remains tied for second place in the East with 18 points. - Sporting KC is without two of their most influential players due to international duty. Defender Matt Besler and assists leader Graham Zusi have both been named to U.S. National coach Jurgen Klinsmann’s World Cup squad. The Red Bulls are without Tim Cahill (Australia), Roy Miller (Costa Rica), and Jonny Steele (Northern Ireland) also due to international duty. - Sporting head coach Peter Vermes in the only player in MLS history to win the MLS Cup as a player and a coach with the same team. Vermes won the MLS Cup with the then-Kansas City Wizards in 2000.

- The Red Bulls’ 2-1 loss at home vs. Portland was the first instance this season in which they have lost after scoring first. Previously they were 3-0-1. - Over their history, the Red Bulls have played Sporting KC the 4th-most times of any opponent with 48 regular season meetings between the two clubs. New York holds a 18-19-11 all-time record. - The last time the Red Bulls visited Sporting Kansas City was on August 3 of last season when New York fought for a 3-2 road victory. RED BULLS FALL TO PORTLAND, 2-1 Despite forward Bradley Wright-Phillips’ team-leading 10th goal of the year, the New York Red Bulls fell to the Portland Timbers, 2-1, Saturday night at Red Bull Arena in front of 19,513 spectators. The defeat moved New York to 3-5-5 (14 points) on the season while Portland improved to 2-3-7 (13 points). Despite the halftime score, the Red Bulls were the stronger side in the first portion of the match. Three minutes in, Jonny Steele chipped a ball in to Eric Alexander, who beat his man but headed it over the bar. Six minutes later and Wright-Phillips nearly opened his account. After Thierry Henry made a direct run into Portland’s half, the Frenchman found Wright-Phillips who was able to juke past his defender and knocked a left-footed shot off the right post. The Englishman would find the goal he sought when he gave New York a 1-0 lead with less than 10 minutes to play in the first half. New York’s Lloyd Sam was brought down in the box by Portland defender Pa Modou Kah and Wright-Phillips stepped up and wrong-footed goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts for his 10th goal of the season. The goal pushes the striker back into first place of the MLS Golden Boot standings in a tie with Sporting Kansas City’s Dom Dwyer, who notched two on Friday night. Ricketts did well to make sure the score wasn’t 2-0, preventing a Rauwshan McKenzie own goal following the Timber defender’s wayward header. That turned out to be a crucial save as the Timbers tied the game right before the break. Maximiliano Urruti was able to get space at the top of the box and his deflected shot found its way into the lower left corner of the net. Wright-Phillips almost gave New York the lead again following halftime, but his chip following a Henry through-ball was saved by Ricketts. New York then had a goal controversially called for offside for the second time in the match in the 53rd minute after Wright-Phillips bundled it home. Portland took the lead for good with 16 minutes left to play. Jorge Villafana’s driven cross bounced loosely around the six-yard box and Urruti was first to it, firing it in for his second of the match. The Red Bulls nearly equalized with five minutes left, as Henry had two on target shots blocked before Wright-Phillips ripped a rebound just over the bar.

One of those was the lone goal in the 1-0 victory over FC Dallas, three others were a part of Wright-Phillips’ second hat trick of the season against Chicago, and his 10th of the season came on May 24 against Portland from the penalty spot. The English striker now has 10 goals on the season, nine over his last six, and finds himself in a tie with Sporting Kansas City’s Dom Dwyer atop the MLS Golden Boot race. MLSSoccer.com recognized Wright-Phillips’ efforts, as he was nominated as one of five players to be the MLS Player of the Month for April, as voted on by fans. Seattle’s Clint Dempsey won the award. Wright-Phillips became the first player since Thierry Henry (March 31, 2012 vs. Montreal – 5-2 NY win at Red Bull Arena) to record a hat trick for New York, as the Red Bulls tallied their second-straight win in a 4-0 victory over the Houston Dynamo at Red Bull Arena April 23. Wright-Phillips helped stake the Red Bulls to a 2-0 lead before halftime and rounded out his night with a penalty kick goal four minutes from the end of the match. Three days later against the Columbus Crew at Crew Stadium, Wright-Phillips found the back of the net again and recorded his team-leading fifth goal of the season. With New York down 1-0, Wright-Phillips was able to control a Lloyd Sam pass and curled it off the right post and into the back of the net to give the Red Bulls a 1-1 tie. On May 10th, Wright-Phillips scored his second hat trick of the season in a 5-4 loss at home to Chicago. His first goal of the night was assisted by Thierry Henry via a cross from the left side which Wright-Phillips one-timed into the back of the net to take the lead for his team heading into halftime. Facing a 5-2 deficit, Wright-Phillips came alive once again. A Jonny Steele cross caromed off Lloyd Sam’s chest and into the path of the Englishman who rocketed home a volley in the 66th minute. Henry was

dragged down in the box 12 minutes later and Wright-Phillips secured his hat trick with the PK conversion. New York signed Wright-Phillips on July 24, 2013 and the Englishman went on to record two goals for the Red Bulls (one in the regular season, one in the playoffs). His career started in 2004, when he graduated from Manchester City’s academy and played for the Premiership side until 2006. The 28-year-old then moved onto English side, Southampton, where he amassed 111 appearances and scored 22 goals from 2009-11, Wright-Phillips featured for Plymouth Argyle before the former English Under-20 International moved to Charlton Athletic. At Charlton, Wright-Phillips scored 31 goals in 82 games. Prior to coming to New York, Wright-Phillips was most recently at Brentford on loan, playing 15 matches and recording five goals. DUVALL MAKES FIRST MLS START New York Red Bulls rookie defender Chris Duvall made his professional debut on May 17 at Toronto, coming on in the 48th minute for Kosuke Kimura. One week later, on May 24, Duvall made his first MLS start in front of nearly 20,000 spectators in a 2-1 loss to Portland and played the full 90 minutes. The Red Bulls selected Duvall, 22, from Wake Forest University with the 22nd overall pick of the 2014 SuperDraft. He was at Wake Forest for four seasons and in 2013 he mainly featured as a right back, playing in 14 games for Wake Forest and recording three assists. In 2012, Duvall played more minutes than any other player on the Wake Forest roster, recording 1,637 minutes on the field with one goal and three assists. During his freshman season at Wake Forest, Duvall appeared in every game, including 16 starts, and led the team in assists with four. In preseason play with the Red Bulls, the Georgia native appeared in four games, including a start against Orlando City SC. CAHILL, MILLER WITH WORLD CUP PRELIMINARY SQUADS New York Red Bulls midfielder Tim Cahill (Australia) and defender Roy Miller (Costa Rica) were named to the preliminary rosters for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil by their respective national teams. Both players started in New York’s 5-4 loss to Chicago on May 10 before departing for their national teams. Australia will play in Group B with Spain, the Netherlands, and Chile while Costa Rica will play in Group D with Uruguay, England, and Italy in Brazil this summer. Cahill, one of 30 players named to Australia’s preliminary roster, has played a major role in helping the Australian National Team qualify for the 2014 World Cup. On the international level, Cahill has earned 68 caps for his country. On March 5, Cahill broke Australia’s all-time scoring record, when he scored two goals in a 4-3 loss to Ecuador. In an international friendly against South Africa on May 26, Cahill scored his 32nd goal in the 13th minute in a 1-1 tie. Cahill played in the 2006 and 2010 FIFA World Cup competitions and was the first player ever to score in the tournament for his country in 2006. Last season in his first full year in MLS, Cahill led all New York players with 11 goals and helped the Red Bulls win the 2013 Supporters’ Shield. The 2013 MLS All-Star also added five assists in his 27 appearances, all of which were starts. At the end of the season, Cahill was voted to Major League Soccer’s Best XI as a midfielder and named the Red Bulls’ team MVP. Cahill has made seven appearances this season for New York. Miller is the longest tenured Red Bull, having been with the club since 2010.

Northern Ireland will face Uruguay in their capital city of Montevideo on May 30 before heading to Valparaíso to take on Chile. Uruguay and Chile will be participating in the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Steele will hope to earn the second and third international caps of his career after coming on as a substitute in the 67th minute of a November 2013 friendly against Turkey. He has also represented his country at the youth levels when he participated in the 2005 UEFA European U-19 Championship, hosted by Northern Ireland, and participated in all three group stage matches against Germany, Serbia and Montenegro, and Greece.
