MLS GAME INFORMATION

SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs CHICAGO FIRE SPORTING PARK, Kansas City, Kan.

March 16, 2013 (WEEK 3, MLS Game #19) 2 p.m. CT (NBC SN) Two Midwestern rivals meet in MLS Rivalry Week as Sporting Kansas City make their 2013 home debut, taking on the Chicago Fire. Sporting are coming off their first loss of the season, a 2-1 defeat by Toronto FC last weekend. The Fire are still looking for their first win and their first goal, dropping a 1-0 decision to the New England Revolution in their home debut last weekend. REFEREE: Silviu Petrescu.

Kansas City had gone a couple of seasons and four matches in all since defeating Chicago before their 2-0 victory in the final meeting last year, Sept. 28 at Sporting Park.

Kansas City has won twice on their last five trips to Bridgeview, dating back to 2008 – after winning at the Fire just once in the opening decade of the series between the clubs.

KC has twice defeated Chicago in a final – MLS Cup 2000 and the 2004 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Coaches record: Peter Vermes v CHI: P8 W2 L4 D2 … Frank Klopas vs. KC: P4 W2 L1 D1

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City went down to defeat for the first time this season, dropping a 2-1 decision to Toronto FC at Rogers Centre. LAST MATCH

Toronto FC took the lead after just three minutes. Matt Besler's pass to fellow defender Aurélien Collin was intercepted by Robert Earnshaw, and he clinically finished past helpless SKC 'keeper Jimmy Nielsen.

The home side doubled their lead shortly thereafter. SKC midfielder Paulo Nagamura tripped up newly acquired Toronto midfielder John Bostock in the box, and Earnshaw stepped up and used a cool stutter-step to catch Nielsen wrong-footed from the penalty spot in the 21st minute.

Sporting pulled a goal back in the 77th minute when halftime substitute C.J. Sapong flicked a long free kick from goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen on to Claudio Bieler, who split the TFC defense and blasted the ball past Toronto 'keeper Joe Bendik for his second goal in as many games.

Sporting manager Peter Vermes made no changes to the team that came back from an early deficit for a 3-1 win against Philadelphia Union at PPL Park

SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Jimmy Nielsen - Chance Myers, Aurelien Collin, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic - Oriol Rosell - Paulo Nagamura, Benny Feilhaber (Soony Saad 82) - Graham Zusi, Claudio Bieler, Bobby Convey (C.J. Sapong 46).

TEAM NEWS Sporting lost for the first time in league play since last July 28, ending their undefeated streak at 13 games, one

shy of the club record set in 2011. “They pushed the game and they made the most of their opportunities. We made a big mistake early on to get

them into the game that gave them some confidence. Getting the second goal early on put us behind the 8-ball pretty early,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes. “Two goals is a big deficit to come back from. I thought they closed the half out well, they slowed the game down and didn’t give us much to get into the rhythm or anything.”


Designated Player Claudio Bieler scored for the second time in as many matches, getting a late goal to pull Sporting back within a goal.

For a second consecutive match, C.J. Sapong came off the bench to provide an attacking spark. He came on for Bobby Convey to start the second half after replacing Convey at the 63-minute mark in the season opener.

“We definitely needed to change something, I don’t know if whether it was a change for a different mentality or it was the difference in the way everyone was playing, but it wasn’t just one guy,” Vermes said. “C.J. (Sapong) was a good spark for us at half, kind of changed a lot of the game for us so it was good to see.”

Sporting were able to uncork 16 attempts at goal in Toronto, but were not able to match the three-goal effort from the season opener in Philadelphia.

“The second half I thought our guys did a very good job of changing the pace of the game and pushing the tempo a little bit.” Vermes said. “We created quite a few opportunities, maybe a little unlucky here or there, but at the end of the day they did well in the first half we did well in the second half, they got two and we got one.”

SKC maintained their first-choice back four of Chance Myers, Seth Sinovic, Matt Besler and Aurelien Collin – losing for just the second time in 30 matches with that group in the first XI.

“It was not a question about tactical, about the quality of what we did, it was our attitude on the field that was wrong. We were not ready to battle; we were not ready to fight,” said goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen. “That surprised me a lot because that is what we talked about just before we went on the field. We should be ready right from the first whistle but it took us 45 minutes to get ready.”

CHICAGO FIRE The Chicago Fire lost for the second time in as many matches to open the new season, falling 1-0 to the New England Revolution in their home opener Saturday night at Toyota Park. LAST MATCH

The lone goal came shortly after the hour mark. After a misclearance was back toward the Fire penalty area, Juan Toja controlled the loose ball at the top of the box and laid the ball back to Kelyn Rowe. He looped the ball to the far post over the pulled-up Chicago backline, where Jerry Bengtson was lurking and calmly able to finish his header.

Fire head coach Frank Klopas made one change to the team that lost 4-0 to the LA Galaxy to open the season at The Home Depot Center. Sherjill MacDonald started up top in place of Maicon Santos.

CHICAGO FIRE (4-2-3-1): Sean Johnson - Steven Kinney, Austin Berry, Jalil Anibaba, Gonzalo Segares - Jeff Larentowicz, Joel Lindpere - Patrick Nyarko, Chris Rolfe (Alex 65), Dilly Duka (Yazid Atouba Emane 58) - Sherjill MacDonald (Maicon Santos 46).

TEAM NEWS For the first time since 2000, and just the second time in club history, the Fire have opened the season with

back-to-back losses. The Fire are the only team still to score a goal in league play this season that has played two games. The only

other team still without a league goal – Seattle Sounders FC – has played only their season opener (a 1-0 loss to Montréal).

“We’ve got to put our chances away. I thought in the first half we had some good looks,” said Fire head coach Frank Klopas. “We have got to be better in the final third. It’s difficult when you create the opportunities but don’t put them away. The game sometimes is not fair because out of nothing, we gave up a goal. I think in the run of play we got in some good spots, we just couldn’t finish.”

After starting the season opener on the substitutes’ bench and coming on for the final quarter of the match, Sherjill MacDonald was given the start in the New England. But he played only the first half before coming off in place of Maicon Santos.

“We took out MacDonald because we needed him more,” coach Frank Klopas said. “We needed him to hold the ball better. At times when we tried to find him, he was late to movement. He had a couple of chances he didn't put away. Going against the wind, Maicon [Santos] was bigger and stronger.”

Said MacDonald: “For me, this is my job. As a striker, I know things like this happen. I'm just there to support this team no matter what. … I still think I have a good connection with Rolfe. Some games, it works better than other games. But I'm sure that, once the season gets going, we're going to be OK.”

There was then another change up top when Chris Rolfe had to come off. “Chris came off because he had an injury. His quad muscle or hamstring in the back had a muscle issue. He was grabbing his knee and we had to take him out. … We were going to make a different change, but then we had to take him out because he couldn’t continue,” said Klopas.

In the season opener, Steven Kinney played centrally with Jalil Anibaba at right back. It was Kinney’s first appearance in central defense. For the New England match, the two exchanged places, with Kinney back at his usual fullback spot.

“I knew Jerry Bengtson was more athletic and with his speed, I wanted to get Jalil in the back. I switched it up at the end of the game because I knew Steven was getting tired and we had to push the game,” Klopas said. “I


knew Jalil still had his legs and could push it on the right. I thought Steven had a good game. I think at the end it was a fitness thing with him.”

After missing the opening two matches of the season, veteran center back Arne Friedrich traveled to Germany to visit with a specialist concerning his hamstring injury.

“You're going to face situations throughout the season like this, and you're going to have to cope with this,” Klopas said. “Arne's experience and his quality, any team would miss him, but we're just going to have to accept this and just move on and when he's ready, he'll be ready to help us.” Said Austin Berry: “We’re getting more comfortable. I think sliding in Jalil into the center back spot, there’s a little bit more familiarity between me and him. We played a lot of games last season so it’s getting better but we would like to have Arne back.”

The Fire host the second and third legs of the series at Toyota Park July 7 (ESPN) and Aug. 23 (NBC Sports Network). The Men in Red opened their home schedule with a 1-0 loss to the New England Revolution at Toyota Park Saturday evening. A 62nd minute goal by Revolution forward Jerry Bengtson was the difference as the Revolution won their first match at Toyota Park since 2006. Sporting Kansas City enters the match after falling 2-1 to Toronto FC Saturday afternoon at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario. QUICK KICKS vs. Sporting Kansas City (1-1-0; 3 pts.) - The Fire hold a 23-11-9 overall record against Sporting Kansas City, including an 8-8-1 record in matches played on the road - The Men in Red were 2-1-0 in the 2012 series. - In 2012 Sporting Kansas City and the Fire defenses allowed the fewest goals in the Eastern Conference. Led by 2012 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year Jimmy Nielsen, Sporting allowed a league-best 27 goals. The Fire and MLS Rookie of the Year Austin Berry only allowed 41 goals during the 2012 campaign. - Sporting Kansas City is 12-2-3 in home openers. One of their two losses came at the hands of the Men in Red, a 3-0 Fire victory March 27, 1999 at Arrowhead Stadium. The Fire were also on hand for the grand opening of Sporting Park as the two squads played to a 0-0 draw June 9, 2011.

A LOOK AT THE FIRE The Chicago Fire (0-2-0, 0pts.) enter their 16th season of MLS play after posting a 17-11-6 record, earning 57 points, tied with the 2000 season for the highest point total in club history. Continuity is key for head coach Frank Klopas this season as the team returns 19 players from the 2012 squad that qualified for the playoffs for the first time since 2009, including veterans Logan Pause, Patrick Nyarko and Gonzalo Segares. Offseason acquisitions Jeff Larentowicz, Joel Lindpere, Maicon Santos and Dilly Duka bolster the roster for the Men in Red. Sean Johnson returns for his fourth campaign with the Fire. Reigning MLS Rookie of the Year Austin Berry is set to pair with German World Cup veteran Arne Friedrich in central defense. The strike tandem of Sherjill MacDonald and 2012 Fire MVP and Golden Boot winner Chris Rolfe will serve as the scoring force for the Fire in 2013.

- at Sporting Kansas City – March 16, 2013


FIRE-SPORTING KANSAS CITY CONNECTIONS Fire midfielder Daniel Paladini will face his brother-in-law on Saturday in Sporting defender Josh Gardner, who is married to the Fire midfielder’s sister Michelle. When MLS launched in 1996, current Fire head coach Frank Klopas was allocated to the Kansas City Wiz going on to tally seven goals and 11 assists over 54 matches from 1996-97. Kansas City boss Peter Vermes and Chicago manager Frank Klopas represented the United States National Team eight times together from 1988-1994. Team USA went 3-3-2 in those matches, with Klopas netting three goals, including a brace on in a 5-1 CONCACAF World Cup qualifying win over Jamaica on August 13, 1988 in Fenton, Missouri. IRON MEN Saturday’s match against the Revolution marked the 150th competitive match in a Fire shirt of Ghanaian midfielder Patrick Nyarko. Drafted in the first round (seventh overall) by the Fire in the 2008 MLS SuperDraft, Nyarko enters his sixth season as a professional as one of the longest-tenured Fire players on the current roster. An appearance in Saturday’s match against Sporting Kansas City will mark Estonian midfielder Joel Lindpere’s 100th career MLS regular season match. Lindpere, who joined the Fire in a trade from the New York Red Bulls Jan. 4, has appeared in 91 consecutive MLS regular season games. ARNE FRIEDRICH TRAVELS TO GERMANY FOR TREATMENT Chicago Fire defender Arne Friedrich has traveled to Berlin to seek treatment for a hamstring strain. The German international departed Sunday night to begin treatment with therapist Thomas Fennewald, who has previously worked with the defender over the course of his professional career. “Thomas has been my therapist for the last 10 years and he’s the most talented guy,” Friedrich told Chicago-Fire.com Sunday night. “For me it’s the best way to get back as soon as possible and he’s the best therapist I’ve ever seen.” Friedrich was given extra time off at the start of preseason but joined the team in good form in Ventura, Calif., at the beginning of February. After successful preseason outings in California and the beginning of the Carolina Challenge Cup, Friedrich was held out of the team’s preseason finale due to a hamstring injury. The injury has caused him to miss the team’s first two matches of the MLS season. Friedrich is expected to remain in Germany working with Fennewald for a maximum of two weeks before returning to Chicago. KELLEN GULLEY TO TRAIN WITH ATLANTA SILVERBACKS Fire Homegrown forward Kellen Gulley has headed to Georgia to begin training with the NASL’s Atlanta Silverbacks this week. Fire head coach Frank Klopas mentioned throughout preseason that the team was looking to send the 18-year-old forward out on loan this year and it appears that the club is working towards an agreement with the second division side. Signed from the Mississippi Fire Juniors in August 2011, Gulley has yet to make his competitive debut for the club. The potential move should serve him well in gaining playing time as he continues to develop. Coached by former FC Dallas head coach Brian Haynes, the Silverbacks open their 2013 NASL Spring campaign vs. Fort Lauderdale Strikers on April 13 at Silverbacks Park. CHICAGO FIRE EDGED BY NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION 1-0 ON OPENING NIGHT AT TOYOTA PARK The Chicago Fire fell to the New England Revolution 1-0 at Toyota Park Saturday evening. A 62nd minute goal from Revolution forward Jerry Bengtson was the difference as the Revolution won their first MLS Regular Season match at Toyota Park since July 8, 2006. The Fire came out charged from the early going and nearly went ahead in the third minute. Steven Kinney worked his way up the right side before a quick combination with Chris Rolfe pushed the fourth-year defender into the box. Kinney quickly cut back for Sherjill MacDonald who pushed his first-time effort over the bar. The Fire would get their best chance of the half in the 31st minute as Rolfe intercepted a pass out of the back at midfield before laying off for Dilly Duka. The winger took the space inside before unleashing a right-footed rocket that Reis got a touch to sending the ball clanging off the crossbar. The visitors broke through and found the lone goal of the match in the 62nd minute. Kelyn Rowe lofted a cross into the Fire penalty box and found Jerry Bengston, and the Honduran international was able to head the ball just out of Johnson’s reach. With five minutes of stoppage time added to the match, the Fire continued to press for the equalizer. In the waning moments of the match, Lindpere won the ball and played it through to Santos on the left flank. Santos let loose a low drive but Reis was able dive onto the ball to preserve the score line.
