MLS GAME INFORMATION

SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC vs SPORTING KANSAS CITY QWEST FIELD, Seattle, Wash. 7 p.m. PT (KONG; KSMO) May 21, 2011 (WEEK 10; MLS Game 91)

Seattle Sounders FC remain home for a second consecutive weekend when they take on Sporting Kansas City on Saturday evening at Qwest Field. Sounders FC have played to back-to-back draws, last a 1-1 tie with the Portland Timbers in the opening match for the Cascadia Cup. Sporting have lost four games on the trot as their season-opening road trip continues. REFEREE: Geoff Gamble.

Sounders FC have won the last three meetings between the teams in league play, four in a row when adding a U.S. Open Cup encounter.

Kansas City’s only win all-time against Seattle came in 2009 at Qwest Field, a 1-0 victory in the first meeting ever between the clubs.

Coaches record: Sigi Schmid v KC: P36 W16 L15 D5 … Peter Vermes vs. SEA: P3 W0 L3 D0 SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC Seattle Sounders FC played to a draw for a second consecutive match, this time a 1-1 result in their first-ever MLS meeting with the Portland Timbers, Saturday evening at Qwest Field. Sounders FC have 14 points from 11 games on the season, sitting in fifth place in the Western Conference. LAST MATCH

Sounders FC took the lead in the 52nd minute. Roger Levesque lofted the ball forward to Fredy Montero, who outleaped two defenders to flick the ball on to Alvaro Fernández, who then had time to settle before lashing a left-footed shot inside Troy Perkins’ near post.

But Portland pulled level from yet another set piece. In an almost instant replay of the goal against Philadelphia a week earlier, Jack Jewsbury lofted a free kick toward Mamadou Danso in the heart of the area, and the Gambian center nodded it into the net.

Sounders FC head coach Sigi Schmid made four changes to the team that played to a 1-1 draw with the Columbus Crew at Crew Stadium. Jhon Kennedy Hurtado and Tyson Wahl came back into the back four for Jeff Parke and Leo Gonzalez, Brad Evans started in midfield for Erik Friberg, and Nate Jaqua came in up top for Roger Levesque.

SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC (4-1-3-2): Kasey Keller - James Riley, Patrick Ianni, Jhon Kennedy Hurtado, Tyson Wahl - Servando Carrasco - Brad Evans (Roger Levesque 42), Osvaldo Alonso, Alvaro Fernandez - Fredy Montero, Nate Jaqua (Lamar Neagle 79).

TEAM NEWS Already missing attackers Steve Zakuani and O’Brian White, Sounders FC coach Sigi Schmid was forced to

make significant changes in his midfield. The first came before kickoff when Erik Friberg was injured the day before the game, then Brad Evans had to come off for an injury before halftime.

MLS GAME INFORMATION

“Losing a player like Evans changes it and losing Friberg as we prepare for the game certainly changes things as well for us,” Schmid said

Schmid said Friberg was close to being available for the Portland match and said there’s a chance he could be ready for the KC contest. It was the first game Friberg had missed this season (he did come on as a substitute once, April 22 vs. Colorado.

“Friberg is actually making good progress with his ankle,” Schmid said. “It was almost touch and go if he could play (against Portland), but it was a situation we felt the risk at the end would be too great.

While Schmid said Evans’ injury is a day-to-day situation, the midfielder said he hoped he would be out only a week to 10 days.

“I don’t know why [it happened],” Evans said. “For some reason I made a cross. I don’t know if I caught it too much on my toe but I felt a twinge in my groin. I tried to come back on, but my body said no.”

In addition, Schmid said: “(Mauro) Rosales, we’ll put through a week of training, so we’ll be able to determine that at the end of the week.” Rosales has played only 31 minutes over the last four matches with a hamstring injury.

Since he was held out of the game vs, Chicago on April 9, Sounders FC designated player Alvaro Fernandez has scored three goals – his third coming against Portland. He has started the last four games in the Seattle midfield.

For a second consecutive game, Schmid opted to pair Servando Carrasco and Osvaldo Alonso in central midfield.

“For us, the big problem in the first half was having Carrasco and Alonso in midfield together. They both sat back too deep, so it was very tough for our forwards to have a connection for someone to play back to,” Schmid said. “… (O)ne of the two of them needed to push up more. That was something we talked about before the game, but in the heat of the game they forgot it.”

The goal was the second this season conceded by Seattle from a set piece, the first coming on a direct free kick by Philadelphia’s Carlos Ruiz.

“Their game is predicated around free kicks and set pieces. That's what their danger is. That's what they live for. The referee gave them quite a few. It seemed like our fouls happened for us on our (defensive) end of the field and theirs happened on their (offensive) end of the field,” Schmid said. “At the end of the day, we have to defend those things and we have to take care of that business.”

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City saw their losing skid reach four games, falling 4-1 to the LA Galaxy on Saturday evening at The Home Depot Center. Sporting have 4 points from 7 matches on the season, sitting in ninth place in the Eastern Conference. LAST MATCH

Sporting KC took the lead courtesy of a gift, when Milos Stojcev swung a ball in from the right flank and Galaxy defender Omar Gonzalez was able only to re-direct it into the corner of his own net.

The Galaxy hit for the equalizer before the end of the half. After David Beckham taken down inside the box, referee Baldomero Toledo immediately pointed to the spot, and Landon Donovan calmly buried the penalty kick.

LA broke the game open in the second half. First, Donovan and Chad Barrett combined on a give-and-go into the penalty area from where Donovan beat a helpless Eric Kronberg.

Then Juan Pablo Angel found the back of the net shortly after coming on as a substitute. Barrett sent Ángel through and he easily slotted home from inside the area.

Beckham then put an exclamation mark on the match when he buried a direct free kick from outside the left corner of the penalty area.

SKC boss Peter Vermes made three changes to the team that fell 1-0 to the New York Red Bulls at Red Bull Arena. Eric Kronberg came in to don the gloves in place of Jimmy Nielsen, Roger Espinoza replaced Korede Aiyegbusi at fullback, and Milos Stojcev started for C.J. Sapong.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-2-3-1): Eric Kronberg - Michael Harrington, Julio Cesar, Aurelien Collin, Roger Espinoza (Chance Myers 57) - Davy Arnaud, Stephane Auvray - Kei Kamara (C.J. Sapong 67), Milos Stojcev (Ryan Smith 65), Graham Zusi - Teal Bunbury

TEAM NEWS With three games remaining before they open the new Livestrong Sporting Park, Kansas City has lost four

games in a row and is winless in the last six. The last team with an extended road swing to start the season – the Chicago Fire in 2006, while Toyota Park

was being finished – started with two wins and four draws in nine games. Sporting are the fourth club in MLS history to start the year with multiple games on the road while awaiting a new home: Columbus (1999), LA Galaxy (2003) and Chicago.

MLS GAME INFORMATION

“We have been talking about the same thing about playing on the road, we have known that,” said Davy Arnaud. “It is not easy but at the same time it is not so difficult that we should turn in a second half performance that we did tonight. It is just not obviously what we wanted and it is very disappointing.”

The four goals allowed were a season-high for Sporting, who have allowed multiple goals in five of their seven games this season. They still have yet to register a shutout – the only team in MLS still without a clean sheet this season.

“I thought in the first half we played really solid. Getting it to 1-0 was good unfortunately we made a critical mistake right before the half and gave a penalty kick but coming in 1-1 was good,” said Peter Vermes. “The second half is what put the dagger in us and that is the part that gets frustrating.”

Vermes gave Eric Kronberg his first start of the season, and just the second of his MLS career. His only previous start came in the season finale last year, a 4-1 win against San Jose.

“It was nothing against Jimmy (Nielsen) at all,” Vermes said of the decision to play his backup. “I think Jimmy has been playing well. It was time for us to give (Kronberg) a game.”

Great teams never rely solely on talent and mostchampionship sides are forced to overcome some sort ofadversity. Certainly sounders FC is facing the latter in spades thisspring. seattle has fought on despite losing several key attackingplayers to injuries, including two for extended periods. Goals havebeen harder to come by, but a stout defense and a competitivecharacter of the squad is braving the hard times. sounders FC is two points ahead of last year's 11-match pace,when the record was 3-5-3, and they have scored four more goals(13) while allowing three fewer (11).

MInIng tHe MIdFIeLd

The majority of goals this season have come from the midfield.alvaro Fernandez scored his third of the season against portlandand Brad evans tops the side with four markers. steve Zakuanihad scored twice before sustaining a fractured leg at Colorado onapril 22. already midfielders account for nine of the team's 13goals. last season Zakuani produced 10 of the 15 goals bymidfielders and in 2009 those positions scored 11 altogether.

each of the five past meetings with kansas City has etched atleast one moment into the memories of sounders FC players, staffand supporters. Foremost is likely the last time the two sides meton the Xbox pitch at Qwest Field. in the second minute ofstoppage time, Mike Fucito cracked the winner off a quickly takenBrad evans throw, setting off pandemonium throughout thestadium. seconds later, kasey keller saved the win by stoppingChance Myers.

GAME NOTES

Page 37: Game Notes: Sporting KC at Seattle Sounders

WHEN LAST THEY MET...SINOVIC SIGNED | Sporting Kansas City announced the signing of defender Seth Sinovic last week. The 24-year-old entered Major League Soccer in 2010 as a second-round MLS SuperDraft selec-tion. He appeared in 20 regular season matches, making 18 starts, for the New England Revolution as a rookie, and also earned four appearances in the 2010 SuperLiga.

Sinovic, a Leawood, Kansas native and graduate of Rockhurst High School, attended Creighton University from 2006-2009 be-fore being drafted by the Revolution with the 25th overall pick in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft.

BRAVO’S RETURN? | Sporting Kansas City Designated Player Omar Bravo was listed as “probable” on Tuesday’s official Injury Report and could see his first action on Saturday since undergoing surgery for a sports hernia injury last month.

Bravo has missed Sporting Kansas City’s last five MLS matches after being named MLS Player of the Week for scoring two goals in his MLS debut against Chivas USA in Sporting Kansas City’s season-opening 3-2 victory.

Bravo joined KC as one of the most decorated players in Chivas Guadalajara history as the club’s second all-time leading scorer and is a well-known member of the Mexico National Team. Bravo has scored 16 goals for Mexico in 65 appearances, including two goals at the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany.

BUNBURY BUZZ | After scoring as a second-half substitute against Chicago in his return from a dislocated elbow suffered during the pre-season, Sporting Kansas City striker Teal Bunbury scored twice in his first start of the 2011 season in KC’s 3-3 draw at Vancouver. Making his first appearance in Canada since commit-ting to the U.S. Men’s National Team, the Ontario-native recorded the first multi-goal game of his professional career. Bunbury also provided the game-winning assist in overtime of Sporting KC’s 1-0 win over the Houston Dynamo earlier this month in the 2011 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup qualifier and drew a penalty kick in the team’s 3-2 loss at New England.

The fourth overall draft pick in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft out of Ak-ron, Bunbury enjoyed a standout rookie season with five goals and two assists in 26 appearances. His five goals last season were the most by a KC rookie since Scott Sealy scored nine times in 2005.

KANSAS CITY CONNECTIONS

The Seattle Sounders secured a berth in the 2010 MLS Cup play-offs with a 2-1 victory over Kansas City at CommunityAmerica Ballpark on October 9th. The victory swept the season series for Seattle, who have won each of the last three matches against Kansas City (four when including Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup) and both all-time matches in KC.

The Sounders struck twice in the second half after a scoreless first 45 minutes. Sanna Nyassi opened the scoring in the 66th minute and Alvaro Fernandez doubled the visitors advantage 12 minutes later. Striker Teal Bunbury earned a penalty kick for Kansas City in the 84th minute, which captain Davy Arnaud con-verted to give his club a chance late, but striker Kei Kamara’s shot hit the post in stoppage time and Seattle held on for the away victory.

• Sounders defender Taylor Graham began his career in KC, drafted in the 2003 MLS SuperDraft by Kansas City. He played in 21 games over two seasons.• Seattle Sounders defender Tyson Wahl was also drafted by KC in the 2006 MLS SuperDraft. He played 34 games for KC in three seasons before the Sounders took him in the 2008 Expansion Draft.• Seattle Sounders Manager Sigi Schmid coached Sporting KC striker Kei Kamara at Columbus during the 2006 and 2007 sea-sons.• Schmid replaced Sporting KC assistant coach Octavio Zam-brano as manager of the Los Angeles Galaxy in 1999.• Sounders Head Fitness Coach David Tenney was formerly with Kansas City as a fitness and goalkeeper coach from 2007 to 2008.• Seattle Technical Director Chris Henderson played in Kansas City from 1999-2000 (68 appearances, 10 goals and nine assists in ‘00 MLS Cup season) and was an assistant coach in KC in 2007.• Sporting KC playmaker Ryan Smith and Sounders striker Steve Zakuani were both members of the Arsenal youth academy, and grew up in the same London neighborhood.• Sounders Director of Youth Development Darren Sawatzky played for the Kansas City Comets in 2001.• Seattle will make the return visit in the season series on Satur-day, August 6th. It comes amidst a stretch of nine straight home games for Sporting Kansas City, after the June 9th opening of LIVESTRONG Sporting Park.

Page 38: Game Notes: Sporting KC at Seattle Sounders

During the offseason, Bunbury made his international debut for the U.S. Men’s National Team in a friendly against South Africa in No-vember and scored in his second appearance on a penalty kick against Chile at The Home Depot Center in January.

KAMARA KEY | Sporting Kansas City striker Kei Kamara has also started the 2011 with his name often on the scoresheet. After re-cording two assists in the club’s season-opening 3-2 victory at Chi-vas USA, Kamara missed the team’s second match while with the Sierra Leone National Team for an African Cup of Nations qualifier but picked up right where he left off with his first goal of the 2011 season at Vancouver and a two-goal performance at New England on April 23rd, giving him the club’s last three goals scored until Omar Gonzalez’s own goal last week.

Kamara is coming off a career year, scoring a team-high 10 goals and six assists, and has already accumulated eight points in six matches this season. Both marks from last season were personal career-highs for Kamara, now in his sixth year in MLS. Kamara has seven appearances for Sierra Leone.

COLLIN AND CESAR AT CENTERBACK | Two of Sporting Kan-sas City’s new additions, French defender Aurelien Collin and Brazilian defender Julio Cesar, paired in central defense for the second straight week last Saturday.

Collin, 25, joins Kansas City after previously playing for Vitoría Futebol Clube in Liga ZON Sagres, the Portuguese top flight. Ce-sar, 32, has spent time at Real Valladolid, Real Madrid, A.C. Milan, Real Sociedad, Benfica, Austria Wien, Bolton Wanderers, Tigres UANL, Olympiacos, FC Dinamo Bucuresti, Gaziantepspor and Maritimo Funchal.

Sporting Kansas City Game Notes | May 21, 2011 vs. Seattle Sounders FC | www.SportingKC.com

ROAD TRIP | Sporting Kansas City continues its road trip to start the 2011 season on Saturday with the eighth of 10 consecutive away matches while the final touches are put on LIVESTRONG Sporting Park, the team’s new state-of-the-art, $200 million venue. KC held their first walkthrough at the stadium on Wednesday.

The brand new stadium will open June 9th when Sporting KC hosts the Chicago Fire at 9:30 p.m. CT on ESPN2. LIVESTRONG Sport-ing Park will then host a 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup doubleheader on June 14th, featuring Canada vs. Panama, followed by the U.S. Men’s National Team vs. Guadeloupe.

It is the longest stretch of away games in MLS history, topping the Chicago Fire’s nine-game road trip to start the 2006 season prior to opening Toyota Park. Kansas City is 60-125-52 all-time away from home, and went 4-8-3 on the road in 2010.

Sporting Kansas City captain Davy Arnaud is currently tied with Josh Wolff for 2nd on the team’s all-time goal scoring list with 43 career strikes...Arnaud is also fourth on the team’s all-time game-winning goals chart with ten over his nine MLS seasons. His next game-winner will match Wolff for third all-time...Goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen begins the 2011 season tied with Mike Ammann for fourth most shutouts in team history with 10...Nielsen is also sixth on the club’s all-time goalkeeper wins chart with 11 victories, one shy of Garth Lagerwey for 5th...Defender Shavar Thomas has played 7,471 regular season minutes in his Kansas City career and is 29 minutes shy of the 7,500 minute mark...
