SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC SPORTING PARK, Kansas City, Kan.

September 27, 2015 (WEEK 30, MLS Game #305) 6 p.m. CT (FS1; FOX Deportes)

A massively important match in the Western Conference playoff picture is ahead when Sporting Kansas City return home to entertain Seattle Sounders FC on Sunday evening before an FS1 audience. Sporting suffered another loss on their recent run at midweek, falling 1-0 at the Houston Dynamo, now sitting in fifth place in the division three points ahead of sixth place and the final postseason position. Sounders FC are just a further point ahead, now riding a four-game league undefeated streak following a 3-0 win at rivals Vancouver Whitecaps FC in league play last weekend.

The win in the last meeting snapped Sounders FC’s nine-game league unbeaten streak against Sporting. Since a 1-0 KC win in 2009 in the first meeting ever between the clubs, Seattle had won seven matches (with two draws). It was also Sporting’s first win ever against Sounders FC at home.

The teams did meet in the 2012 U.S. Open Cup Final, Sporting winning in a penalty-kick shootout after a 1-1 draw over 120 minutes in K.C., ending Sounders FC’s three-year hold on the Open Cup title.

The game's lone goal came in the 84th minute. SKC's Dom Dwyer got his head to a cross as Sounders FC goalkeeper was able to punch the ball away, also colliding with the forward, and referee Ismail Elfath pointed to the spot. Benny Feilhaber put the penalty calmly inside the left post for the winner.

SKC goalkeeper Tim Melia made a career-high six saves for the shutout. He was beaten midway through the second half by Sounders FC forward Lamar Neagle, only for the offside flag to be raised in a close decision.

MLS GAME INFORMATION

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City weren’t able to build upon a first win in six matches, dropping a 1-0 decision to the Houston Dynamo on Wednesday evening at BBVA Compass Stadium. Sporting are in fifth place in the Western Conference with 44 points from 29 matches. LAST MATCH

The Dynamo finally broke through on 67 minutes. After Brad Davis and DaMarcus Beasley played a give-and-go on the left side to send Beasley to the end line, he cut around a lunging defender before hitting a low cross that found Will Bruin all alone at the back post for a simple tap-in.

Three minutes later the Dynamo were put down a man when Boniek Garcia was sent off by referee Sorin Stoica with a second yellow card, but the home side were able to ride out the victory.

SKC manager Peter Vermes made two changes to the team that hit for a 3-1 win against FC Dallas at Sporting Park. Tim Melia came in between the posts in place of Jon Kempin, and Marcel de Jong started wide on the left for Krisztian Nemeth.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Tim Melia - Chance Myers, Kevin Ellis, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic (Bernardo Anor 86) - Soni Mustivar (Jordi Quintilla 80) - Paulo Nagamura, Benny Feilhaber - Graham Zusi, Dom Dwyer, Marcel de Jong (Jacob Peterson 54).

TEAM NEWS Sporting weren’t able to build upon their first victory since Aug. 15, losing for the fifth time in their last seven

matches in league play with the defeat in Houston. “It was horrific,” SKC manager Peter Vermes. “We were not good. We were not good in possession. We

reacted to everything on the field. We played very, very poorly – very poorly – in the game. This wasn't one of those games where we deserved anything, that's for sure.”

Sporting were also shut out at the attacking end for the third time in that seven-game stretch, after being blanked offensively just three times in their first 22 league games.

“We were never dangerous in and around goal,” Vermes said. “We were just there. We were just on the field. We weren't playing the game at all. That was not indicative of a Sporting Kansas City team, the way we want to play. No way.”

Tim Melia returned between the posts for the first time since Sept. 9, after missing two matches with a hamstring injury. Melia has a personal five-game winless streak alive, his last goalkeeper victory coming Aug. 15 vs. Vancouver (a 4-3 win).

“I don't know if I'd characterize it as a soft goal,” Vermes said. “I'd just characterize it as a goal that should not have happened. The bottom line is that we were poor in possession. We gave up the ball in very critical areas of the field. That made us have to run a lot defensively, and we just never got any passing together. We were just bad.”

Marcel de Jong made his first start since Aug. 22, again starting wide on the left of the attack and playing 54 minutes.

Jordi Quintilla came off the substitutes’ bench for the fourth time in the last five games, playing the final 10 minutes, while Bernardo Anor made his fourth consecutive appearance off the substitutes’ bench, playing the final four minutes.

There will be further changes for the Sounders FC match after center back Matt Besler and midfielder Benny Feilhaber each received cautions that will rule them out of the weekend match.

“We had very, very poor movement off the ball. Very few guys wanted the ball. Our solution was just to whack it forward. They had enough big guys that it's going to be very hard to penetrate that back line,” said Vermes. “To think that that would be the solution – we talked extensively about some of the things that we wanted to do in the game, but yeah, in the end we just didn't play well.”

Said defender Seth Sinovic: “As cliché as it sounds, we try to take it one game at a time and we've got a big stretch of games coming up here, every game is just as important as the other. We've got the playoff push, we've got the Open Cup final, so every game is just as important as the next, so we've got to be prepared for Sunday.”

MLS GAME INFORMATION

SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC Seattle Sounders FC stretched their undefeated streak to four matches, cruising to a 3-0 win against Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Saturday afternoon at BC Place. Sounders FC are in fourth place in the Western Conference with 45 points from 30 matches. LAST MATCH

Sounders FC grabbed the opener on the stroke of halftime. Obafemi Martins chipped the ball into the box over the head of a Whitecaps defender and into the path of Andreas Ivanschitz, who drilled home past Vancouver goalkeeper David Ousted.

The lead was doubled in the 71st minute when Gonzalo Pineda took a feed from Clint Dempsey and crashed in a shot off the left post from inside the area.

A stretched Whitecaps FC defense conceded a third goal three minutes from time when an open Martins poked home a cutback from Clint Dempsey to seal the win and the Cascadia Cup for Sounders FC.

Sounders FC head coach Sigi Schmid made three changes to the team that gained a 1-1 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes at CenturyLink Field. Zach Scott came into central defense for the injured Roman Torres, and Osvaldo Alonso and Andreas Ivanschitz started in the midfield in place of Erik Friberg and Nelson Haedo Valdez.

SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC (4-4-2): Stefan Frei - Tyrone Mears, Zach Scott, Chad Marshall, Oniel Fisher - Brad Evans (Cristian Roldan 74), Osvaldo Alonso (Leo Gonzalez 85), Gonzalo Pineda, Andreas Ivanschitz (Nelson Haedo Valdez 65) - Clint Dempsey, Obafemi Martins.

TEAM NEWS Sounders FC extended their undefeated run to four games with a third victory in that time, their longest stretch

without a loss in league play this season. The win also gave Sounders FC the Cascadia Cup for 2015 with a second win this season in league play at BC Place.

“I’m not going to try and figure out the series, what I am going to try and figure out is how we can show we are a good road team,” said Sounders FC head coach Sigi Schmid. [It] was a good victory for us, and I hope we will gather some momentum and use that momentum as we move forward and keep gathering points to move up the standings as high as we can. That’s all we are concerned about right now.”

Obafemi Martins scored his 13th goal of the season, his fourth consecutive game with a goal – his sixth goal in six games in his return from injury.

Clint Dempsey recorded a pair of assists, the third multiple-assist game of his MLS career, and his second in as many seasons. Dempsey now has nine assists this season, one off his MLS single-season career-high set last year.

“We knew if we could maintain any sort of possession in the second half that we were going to break on them because they were pushing some many guys forward,” said defender Zach Scott. “Credit to Clint [Dempsey] and Obafemi [Martins]. Our midfielders were great going forward and keeping possession to give us breathing room.”

Andreas Ivanschitz made his first MLS start, coming in to a wide midfield role and scored his first MLS and Sounders FC goal.

“It was great. It was awesome, not only for me but also because we won against a very good team,” said Ivanschitz. “Three points on the road, that’s great for us. I’m very happy to score my first goal for the Sounders. That feels great for me.”

Gonzalo Pineda scored his first goal of the season, his first goal from open play scored in his MLS career. His last goal came last Aug. 10, converting a third penalty kick.

Nelson Valdez made his fifth start in the last six league matches, recording his first MLS assist, after scoring his first league goal Aug. 16.

“I thought we played very well. In the first half, we did a good job of keeping possession. We held steady, I knew we were going to get some chances on the counter attack because they were pushing people forward and we were able to score two goals on the counter attack,” said Schmid.

On Wednesday, Sounders FC secured passage to the knockout stage of the CONCACAF Champions League with a 3-0 win against Vancouver Whitecaps FC at CenturyLink Field. Lamar Neagle scored goals on either side of halftime and Nelson Valdez added a third as Sounders FC finished atop Group F with seven points.

Here’s the Sounders FC team: Stefan Frei; Tyrone Mears, Brad Evans, Chad Marshall, Leonardo Gonzalez; Marco Pappa, Erik Friberg (Michael Azira 64’), Cristian Roldan, Lamar Neagle; Nelson Valdez (Aaron Kovar 74'), Chad Barrett (Oniel Fisher 78’)
