MLS GAME INFORMATION

SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC vs SPORTING KANSAS CITY CENTURYLINK FIELD, Seattle, Wash.

June 20, 2012 (WEEK 16, MLS Game #135) 7 p.m. PT (KONG; KSMO) Two of the high-flying teams in the early going of the MLS season meet at CenturyLink Field when Seattle Sounders FC play host to Sporting Kansas City. Sounders FC have hit a bit of a rocky patch, now winless in their last five games after a 4-1 defeat by the Montréal Impact last weekend. Sporting have returned from their own winless spell with back-to-back victories, last a 2-0 home win against Toronto FC on Saturday evening. REFEREE: Jair Marrufo.

first meeting ever between the clubs, April 11, 2009 in Seattle. Both Sounders wins came in stoppage time a season ago, Jeff Parke scoring in the 93rd in the 1-0 home win,

and Lamar Neagle scoring in the 92nd after Mauro Rosales leveled in the 90th in Kansas City. Coaches record: Sigi Schmid vs. KC: P38 W18 L15 D5 … Peter Vermes v SEA: P5 W0 L5 D0

SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC Seattle Sounders FC saw their winless streak stretched to five games and long unbeaten run on the road ended in a 4-1 defeat by the Montréal Impact on Saturday afternoon at Stade Saputo. Sounders FC are in fourth place in the Western Conference with 24 points from 14 games. LAST MATCH

The inaugural MLS goal at Stade Saputo came after 18 minutes. Patrice Bernier skirted around a defender on the outside of the box and dished to Felipe, who promptly curled a shot past goalkeeper Bryan Meredith from the heart of the area.

The Impact doubled their lead in the 51st minute. Justin Mapp took a long crossfield pass and poured through the Seattle midfield from the left flank to the top of the box, where he coolly slotted a right-footed shot back inside the left post.

It got worse for Sounders FC in the 56th minute, when Jhon Kennedy Hurtado cut down midfielder Collen Warner as he surged into space toward the Seattle penalty area, drawing a straight red card from referee Mark Geiger.

The lead was 3-0 just two minutes later, again courtesy of a timely play from Bernier. He seized on a turnover from Seattle’s Álvaro Fernandez and funneled a pass into the box to a streaking Andrew Wenger, who rocketed a right-footed shot inside the near post.


Seattle pulled a goal back in the 61st minute when Eddie Johnson ran onto a through ball from Fredy Montero and chipped it over goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts from the heart of the area.

But the full margin was restored three minutes from the end when Lamar Neagle skipped through a couple of challenges in the area and poked home an angled shot.

Sounders FC head coach Sigi Schmid made one change to the team that reached a 1-1 draw with Chivas USA at The Home Depot Center. Eddie Johnson came in for the injured David Estrada.

SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC (4-4-2): Bryan Meredith - Zach Scott, Jeff Parke, Jhon Kennedy Hurtado (sent off 56), Marc Burch - Mauro Rosales (Cordell Cato 71), Andy Rose, Brad Evans, Alvaro Fernandez (Alex Caskey 62) - Fredy Montero, Eddie Johnson (Servando Carrasco 82).

TEAM NEWS The Sounders FC five-game winless run is one away from the club’s MLS record, set May 2-June 6, 2009. “It’s frustrating,” said defender Zach Scott. “It’s not indicative of the team we are. To be frank, it’s embarrassing

to lose like that. … It felt like they were playing with a couple more guys than us the entire game.” Sounders FC conceded a season-high four goals in their loss at Montréal last weekend, matching the number

of goals they had allowed in their first 10 league games combined. “Everyone individually needs to play better or we need to put guys on the field who can play better,” said

Sounders FC head coach Sigi Schmid. “We just need to find guys who can play better.” The three goals allowed were the most since a 3-0 loss in the first leg of last year’s Western Conference

Semifinal Series vs. Real Salt Lake. Seattle has given up nine goals over its last four games. “We’ve been down before, we know what it takes to come back and pull out a result,” said Scott. “It’s

unfortunate, but we just need to get back on how we play successfully and not worry about what the other team does. We need to go back to what we’re good at and play our type of possession soccer.”

Sounders FC saw their 10-game road unbeaten streak – the second-longest in MLS history – put to an end in the 4-1 loss in Montréal. Their last loss away from Seattle had come last July 30 at Houston.

“We are a good road team. Nothing that happened today is going to change my mind on that,” said Schmid. “But, obviously when you give 4 goals, that’s an issue. If we can play 1 v 1 when we are playing a man down, then we certainly won’t be losing 3-0 when we are playing either. That’s not what we are all about and we got to change that the next game.”

Making his 100th league appearance for Sounders FC, Fredy Montero set up Eddie Johnson for the lone Seattle goal. Montero has 38 goals and 30 assists for his MLS career.

“It was the game number 100 for me and it was meaningful. I can’t change what we did tonight,” said Montero. “But we will have another opportunity Wednesday and hopefully we’ll do better and get the three points.”

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City won for the second time in as many matches, defeating Toronto FC 2-0 on Saturday evening at Livestrong Sporting Park. Sporting have 28 points from 12 matches, now in second place in the Eastern Conference. LAST MATCH

Sporting took the lead after 18 minutes. Chance Myers sent a ball down the right flank to Jacob Peterson on the overlap. Peterson's cross slipped through two TFC defenders in the area, and C.J. Sapong pounced to hammer home on the half-turn from the center of the box.

SKC doubled their lead in the 35th minute. Graham Zusi sent in a corner kick from the left and Julio Cesar ripped it first-time from just outside the top right corner of the six-yard box into the roof of the net.

Sporting head coach Peter Vermes made two changes to the team that recorded a 2-1 win against the San Jose Earthquakes at Livestrong Sporting Park. Lawrence Olum came into the back four for Matt Besler, and Jacob Peterson replaced Kei Kamara on the wing.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-2-1-3): Jimmy Nielsen - Chance Myers, Lawrence Olum, Aurelien Collin, Seth Sinovic - Julio Cesar, Roger Espinoza (Peterson Joseph 89) - Graham Zusi (Konrad Warzycha 90) - Jacob Peterson (Soony Saad 73), Teal Bunbury, C.J. Sapong.

TEAM NEWS Julío César scored his first goal of the season – his third since coming to MLS – in dramatic fashion,

hammering home a corner kick on the full volley. “When they don’t press me and let me play, I get more comfortable,” Julio Cesar said. “You can get in the

attack if you don’t have the pressure you usually have in this position.” “What a goal,” said Graham Zusi. “Contender for Goal of the Year. If that doesn’t get Goal of the Week, I don’t

know what will. It was just a great finish.” For Zusi, the corner kick was his eighth assist of the season, tying him with D.C. United’s Dwayne De Rosario

for the league lead. “A lot of guys on this team are a force to be reckoned with in the air. Teal (Bunbury), C.J. (Sapong), Aurelien

(Collin) and Julio (Cesar) have really done their part,” Zusi said. “Over the past two years now, we have


become really dangerous on set pieces. I take the free kicks quite a bit, but these guys have done great to finish them off.

With Matt Besler sidelined following an appendectomy, Lawrence Olum made his first career league start. “He was good in the air, he was tough, strong and he had good distribution. I thought him and (Aurélien) Collin

were a good team with the fact that they were tough and they were both very hard. It was difficult for those guys to play against them,” said Vermes. “I thought they established their dominance pretty early and that continued throughout the game. Good partnership right there.”

With Kei Kamara still on international duty with Sierra Leone, Jacob Peterson made his first league start this season after eight appearances off the substitutes’ bench.

“I know that there’s a difference when you play a reserve game and an MLS game with the pace and the tempo, and for him giving us 70 minutes like he did was tremendous,” said Vermes. “He was busy, he was active and he put a lot of pressure on those guys. Him and (Chance) Myers had some good combinations on the outside. We were terrorizing them very early in the game which puts them on their heels and they can’t get out.”

he is probably coming off a 48-hour plane trip. It’s good that he will be back but at the same time, he is going to come back from a long trip so we will continue with the way we are going. We have four games in the next two-week period. We have to recover and get ready, and then we will assess how everyone is doing on Wednesday.

Vermes said he would reserve judgment before putting Kamara in the first team automatically for the trip to Seattle. “He is probably coming off a 48-hour plane trip. It’s good that he will be back but at the same time, he is going to come back from a long trip so we will continue with the way we are going,” said Vermes. “We have four games in the next two-week period. We have to recover and get ready, and then we will assess how everyone is doing on Wednesday.”

Sporting KC’s Konrad Warzycha became the second son of a former MLS player (current Crew head coach Robert) when he came on as a substitute in the 2-0 win vs. Toronto. The first was SKC teammate Teal Bunbury (son of Alex).

All-time head-to-head in MlS: Seattle leads 5-1-0

Coming off a disappointing road loss at Montreal, Seattle

Sounders FC looks to rebound and return to form on Wednesday

night when they host Sporting Kansas City on the Xbox Pitch at

CenturyLink Field.

Winless over the past five, Sounders FC had its 10-game road

unbeaten streak snapped last Saturday with an uncharacteristic

4-1 defeat to Montreal.

Seattle is in the midst of seven matches in 22 days and will

take on one of the East’s elite in Sporting Kansas City in the first

of just two home matches before August.

Sounders FC leads the series 5-1-0, with six goals scored in

the final 15 minutes. Three of the victories have come in second-

half stoppage time while the other two wins clinched playoff berths.

Perhaps most memorable was last year’s 2-1 win at LIVE-

STRONG Sporting Park. Mauro Rosales scored and assisted in

stoppage time to come-from-behind and earn the first victory for a

visiting team at Kansas City’s new arena. Earlier in 2011, Jeff

Parke headed in a corner kick to secure a 1-0 victory, and in 2010

it was Mike Fucito who subbed on and scored the stoppage time

winner. Seattle also secured MLS Cup Playoff berths with wins in

Kansas City in 2009 and 2010.

As two of MLS’s best teams, Seattle (five) and Kansas City

(seven) have had the longest winning streaks this season. Al-

though both teams are known for their offensive power, Kansas

City’s defense ranks first in MLS with a 0.77 goals against average

and Seattle is second with a 0.93 GAA.

The matchup between Seattle and Kansas City on Wednesday

night will feature the league’s top two teams over the past 34 MLS

regular season games. Despite going winless in its past five out-

ings, Seattle is the best team in MLS over the past 34 games, with

Kansas City a close second. The two teams are the only MLS sides

to have earned over 60 in that span, and Seattle is the lone team

to earn 20 victories.

A welcomed sight on Wednesday night will be the return of Os-

valdo Alonso to the Seattle midfield. The tenacious ballwinner who

leads MLS with 71 tackles in 2012 has missed the past two MLS

games due to suspension. Alonso has played the second-most

games (94) for Sounders FC and the club is 46-21-27 with the

Cuban midfielder on the pitch. Despite missing two matches,

Alonso leads the team with 546 passes completed and an 81.1

passing percentage. He has played 90 minutes in all 11 appear-

ances this season, and also added three goals in two Open Cup

matches.

Despite a setback last weekend in Montreal, Sounders FC remains the league's top road team, and the Rave Green will have the

opportunity provide further evidence of their road dominance as five of the next seven MLS matches are on the road, including three of

the next four. Seattle will also play away from home in the U.S. Open Cup quarterfinal, totaling just two home games until August. Two

of the longest trips of the season are coming up with visits New England (2,489) and New York (2,403). Overall, Seattle could travel

19,454 miles before the end of July, assuming all flights are round trips from Seattle.

Sounders FC saw its 10-game (7-0-3) road undefeated streak snapped in Montreal. The run was the second-longest in league

history, just two shy of FC Dallas' run of 12 games unbeaten on the road in 2010. Seattle went 9-3-5 away from home in 2011 - the best

road record in MLS - for the fourth-best road winning percentage in league history (.676). Seattle has earned the second-most points

(82) on the road since 2009, just one fewer than the league-leading L.A. Galaxy (83).

One thing that has been a constant for the Rave Green in their

early history is playing well in front of its supporters. Sounders FC

faithful have played their part as well, setting club attendance

records for an MLS opener (39,232 vs. Toronto) and CONCACAF

Champions League match (23,433 vs. Santos) this season. Seattle

is 29-13-13 all-time in MLS matches at home with a plus-32 goal

differential (83-51).

As Fredy Montero played his 100th MLS regular season game

last Saturday, he further showed why he is among the league’s

best foreign players of all time. The crafty young Colombian has

tallied six goals with four assists in his past nine matches across

all competitions. There have been just two matches since May 2

that Montero has appeared in without recording a goal or assist.

He is the youngest player not born in the USA to have 38 goals

and 30 assists at the time of his 100th appearance in league his-

tory. Only four other foreign players scored more goals and more

assists in their first 100 games than Montero.

More MonTero MAGIC: Fredy heATInG uP

Fredy Montero did it again, scoring a brace against Cal FC to tie Nate Jaqua for the most Open Cup goals in club history. Montero

finished a cross from Cordell Cato in the 58th minute, then 10 minutes later bent a 20-yard free kick around the defense and inside the

far post. The brace gives him six goals and three assists over his last eight matches across all competitions. Montero’s strike against

Vancouver on May 19 was the fourth time he has scored in the 90th minute or later in league play, including his free kick at Toronto

(June 18, 2011), his stoppage time winner against Chicago (August 28, 2010) and his late tally versus D.C. United (June 10, 2010).

Montero had a club-record nine shots last Wednesday vs. Columbus (5/23).

last nine Matches (All-Competitions):

at Montreal (6/16): 1 assist (fourth of MLS season) vs. Real Salt Lake (5/12): 2 shots (90 mins)

at Vancouver (5/19): 3 points (1 goal, 1 asst)

Eddie Johnson’s tricky chip shot on Saturday provided the lone

highlight in an uncharacteristic Sounders FC road defeat. Johnson

ran onto a through ball from Fredy Montero and beat the oncoming

keeper to the loose ball, chipping it over Donovan Ricketts for the

team’s only goal. Johnson has now scored four goals in 748 min-

utes for an average of 0.48 goals per 90 minutes. He has already

surpassed his season total in four of his previous seven MLS sea-

sons and is currently tied with Montero with the second-most goals

on the team.


unSelFISh PlAy

Sounders FC has continued to develop its identity as a possession-based, attacking team. The highest scoring team in MLS uses

strong build-up play and passing to wear down opponents and advance to the offensive third. The ever-active Osvaldo Alonso leads the

team in most completed passes (546) and highest passing percentage (81.1).

KeePInG PACe

Sounders FC remains on pace with the league’s elite, ranking

seventh in points per match at 1.71. Seattle has taken 24 points

through the first 14 matches, continuing the best start in club his-

tory (previously 21 points through the first 14 matches in 2009).

Last year - Seattle's best regular season - the team averaged 1.85

points per match, finishing second overall in the MLS standings.

Scoring goals always makes the

game more fun, and the start to the 2012

U.S. Open Cup provided Seattle with sev-

eral entertaining moments. Sounders FC

scored 10 goals through the first two

Open Cup contests - the most goals ever

scored by Seattle over two games in all

competitions. In the first match the attack

scored all five goals in just 22 minutes,

only to surpass that mark a week later by

netting five tallies in just 20 minutes, set-

ting a club record for quickest five goals scored. The match

against Cal FC also marked the first time Seattle scored five goals

in a single half, and the five-goal margin of victory was the great-

est in all competitions (previously four in MLS play). The fourth-

round match also marked the first time two Sounders FC players

scored multiple goals in a single game.

The past three years have supplied countless memories for the Sounders FC faithful, and perhaps the greatest times have been

had in the Open Cup tournament. The 2009 title run included Roger Levesque’s first-minute goal at Portland followed by an unforgettable

celebration, late goals from Nate Jaqua and Stephen King to advance past Houston in extra time, and an emotional win in the final at

D.C. United. In 2010 Jaqua netted five goals in four games to earn Player of the Tournament honors, and Sanna Nyassi finished off the

championship run with a brace in the final against the Columbus Crew. Last season it was Fredy Montero who stole the show, netting

three game-winners in the final three matches, and Osvaldo Alonso put the icing on the cake with a wonderfully crafted goal in stoppage

time in the final against Chicago. Overall, Seattle has gone 15-0-1 in Open Cup play, outscoring its opponents 38-9.

minute when he got behind the defense on a ball from Bernier and

finished inside the near post.

Two minutes before Wenger's goal, Seattle defender Jhon

Kennedy Hurtado was issued a red card for a hard tackle, forcing

Sounders FC to play the remainder of the game a man down.

Johnson cut the lead to 3-1 for the Rave Green in the 61st

minute when he got behind the defense on a ball from Fredy Mon-

tero. Alvaro Fernandez played to Montero, who then found John-

son. Johnson chipped the oncoming Donovan Ricketts for his

fourth goal of the season.

Lamar Neagle added the final tally for the Impact in the 87th

minute. The Federal Way-native made a run up the left side and

into the box, beat two defenders and finished inside the far post

for his first goal of the season.
