Sporting return home following back-to-back road shutout wins, last a 1-0 victory at the Portland Timbers. The Fire had their most recent winless run extended to five matches at midweek, coming back for a 1-1 draw with a 10-man Toronto FC at Toyota Park. REFEREE: Alan Kelly.

The teams are meeting for the second time this season. Mike Magee scored a pair of goals in the opening 15 minutes, both on penalty kicks, to send the Fire on their way to a 2-1 win May 18 at Toyota Park.

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

The Fire got off to a perfect start Quincy Amarikwa was taken down in the box as he rounded goalkeeper Eric Kronberg following a precise through ball from Harry Shipp. Mike Magee stepped up to take the resulting penalty and kept his nerve superbly to roll the ball into the bottom left corner.

The home side then doubled their lead eight minutes later when debutant Erik Palmer-Brown shoved Benji Joya in the back just inside the area. Magee got his second chance from 12 yards and slotted home to the same side to double the Fire advantage.

Sporting were a man when Palmer-Brown's debut ended early, in the 64th minute, after being shown a second yellow card for a late, sliding challenge on Amarikwa at midfield.

The visitors pulled a goal back in the 68th minute when Dom Dwyer found himself unmarked at the far post to power in Benny Feilhaber's free kick from the right wing, but that would be all the joy SKC would find on the day.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City won their second consecutive road match, getting the game’s lone goal for a victory against the Portland Timbers on Friday evening at Providence Park. Sporting moved into a tie for first place in the Eastern Conference with 25 points from 16 games. LAST MATCH


The game's only goal came in the 24th minute. Seth Sinovic sent a long throw-in into the penalty area from the left touchline, and after a bounce off center back Kevin Ellis, Lawrence Olum eventually got his right foot to the ball for a rolling shot that beat goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts.

SKC goalkeeper Eric Kronberg was called upon to make three saves for the clean sheet, his league-leading eighth of the season.

Sporting manager Peter Vermes made three changes to the team that defeated the Houston Dynamo 2-0 at BBVA Compass Stadium. Aurelien Collin came into central defense in place of Erik Palmer-Brown, and Sal Zizzo and Jacob Peterson came into the side for Benny Feilhaber and the suspended Antonio Dovale.

TEAM NEWS Sporting won for a second consecutive match after enduring a five-game winless run May 14-31. It was their

second consecutive shutout win away from Sporting Park. “We just played to our standard in regards to our work ethic on the field. That’s the difference,” said Sporting

manager Peter Vermes. “Obviously we’re still missing 13 guys out of our team through injury and guys away with the national team at World Cup. With all that being said, we still have a great fighting spirit with the group.”

Said center back Aurelien Collin: “It was a very important win, especially after the loss in Open Cup. We’re very upset about that. It was a competition that for me and for the team was very important. We didn’t do the right job. So coming here and showing the right mentality was the most important thing. After having a win here, it’s a great night.”

After playing in central defense at midweek in the U.S. Open Cup win vs. Portland, Kevin Ellis returned to right back and Collin came into the team at center back.

“We still have a lot of young guys that have shown, honestly, a lot of experience. We could have managed the game better in the last 20 minutes. We were losing so many balls. When we were winning the ball we could not have more than two or three passes. They were very good in defense,” said Collin. “I’m a bit upset about this, but the defensive work was very, very good.”

Said Vermes: “Not only was he in a good position all the time, but I thought he was actually good on the ball – made the right decisions. There were times it was difficult, because of the numbers they had in the middle of the park, to play it out of the back – especially up the middle. So he made some good choices on the balls he played out as well.”

Lawrence Olum made his second consecutive start – his first since May 4 – and scored his second career MLS league goal. He first came in the season finale a season ago at Philadelphia.

There was an injury concern after Olum came off the field early in the second half. “A guy we count on in the middle of the park and we had to put a guy in there that normally doesn’t play in

there. So the fighting spirit was tremendous by the players,” said Vermes. “ … I think it’s more of a tweak and I think it’s good, because we don’t actually play until next Sunday so hopefully those extra days are going to get him back on the field because we need him.”

It was also a second consecutive shutout for Sporting, their seventh of the season, after going five games without a defensive clean sheet following a spell of four shutouts in five games April 5-May 10.

“I thought we were tactically very efficient. I thought we made the game very difficult for them. The only thing they really had was trying to pump the ball into the box. I don’t think they had many solutions for the way that we played,” said Vermes. “I thought at times, especially the first half was a different half, we knew in the second half they were going to push everyone very high up the field and it was going to be a little more difficult.”

Benny Feilhaber missed his first league match of the season, though he did miss both U.S. Open Cup matches with a sprained left shoulder.

“It's not 100 percent, but it's good to go. I'm ready to play. We're not holding anything back in practice. It's just a little bit of a tape job on my shoulder, which I'm used to with my ankles. I'll get used to it with my shoulder as well.” Said Vermes: “I'm just not sure. He's starting to get a little contact now, so we'll see. We'll have to make that decision more toward the end of the week, to see how he feels.”

CHICAGO FIRE The Chicago Fire saw their winless streak stretched to five games, coming back for a 1-1 draw with Toronto FC on Wednesday evening at Toyota Park. The Fire are in ninth place in the Eastern Conference with 15 points from 15 games. LAST MATCH

The match turned in the 29th minute when Toronto’s Luke Moore was shown a straight red card by referee Sorin Stoica for an elbow to the head of Fire midfielder Chris Ritter.

But the visitors took the lead in 42nd minute when Jackson, unmarked at the back post, headed home a cross from Jermain Defoe from the right-wing corner.


The Fire pulled level in the 57th minute from a short corner when Mike Magee slipped the ball to rookie Harry Shipp in the left side of the area and he cut inside before unleashing an unstoppable shot that tipped past TFC goalkeeper Joe Bendik.

Fire head coach Frank Yallop made three changes to the team that fell 3-2 to Seattle Sounders FC at Toyota Park. Greg Cochrane and Patrick Ianni came into the back four for Gonzalo Segares and the suspended Jhon Kennedy Hurtado, and Mike Magee returned to the side in place of Benji Joya.

CHICAGO FIRE (4-4-2): Sean Johnson - Lovel Palmer, Bakary Soumare, Patrick Ianni, Greg Cochrane (Juan Luis Anangono 73) - Grant Ward, Chris Ritter (Alex 46), Jeff Larentowicz, Harry Shipp - Quincy Amarikwa, Mike Magee.

TEAM NEWS The Fire have now gone winless in five games (0-2-3) following their only two league wins of the season. They

opened the MLS campaign winless in eight games (0-2-6). “I've said it a few times; we've tied and maybe deserved to win the game, but we haven't. That's our problem

right now: we can't seem to win a game. We haven't lost a ton, but we haven't won many. It's a weird situation, it's frustrating; we can't get over the finish line with a win,” said Fire head coach Frank Yallop. “The guys are frustrated in there, we are, as a staff, and me as a head coach. It's not from lack of effort, which is important, it's just lapses of concentration at the wrong time. They had one or two chances and scored one goal; we probably had five to six, seven, eight chances and scored one. It's the story of our season so far, so it's been frustrating.”

Rookie Harry Shipp scored his sixth goal of the season, his third over the last two matches. All six of Shipp’s goals have come over the last seven league games, since scoring a hat trick May 10 vs. New York. The club and MLS record for goals by a rookie was set by Damani Ralph, with 11 in 2003.

“Harry's starting to blossom into a good player. I think he's starting to play with a lot of confidence, and he knows he's a good player. He's maturing nicely, and I think that it's no surprise that he does well. He's in a lot of the good stuff that we do going forward,” said Yallop. “So, very happy with his development. Good goal again; I think he's at six goals already, a great tally for any player, let alone a rookie coming into a brand new, professional league. He's done fantastically well.”

Said Shipp: “We had the ball pretty much the entire second half. Being up a man obviously helps that, but we can’t afford to tie at home. We came in to this game knowing that we needed a win, we kind of billed it as a game to turn our season around, which hopefully gives us momentum heading into the second half of the year. It didn’t happen.”

Mike Magee returned to the lineup after a four-match absence in league play, his first appearance since May 18 vs. Sporting KC. Magee collected his third assist of the season.

“Both of them [Magee and Quincy Amarikwa] had pretty good looks; just that final, last, little piece was just missing. But I'm not going to fault them for effort, I think that they worked well,” said Yallop. “They tried to do the right things, moved the ball pretty sharply for us, passed it well. Again, it's a little easier against 10 men, but I still think we did the right things to create enough chances, but we just didn't get our final touch.”

Chris Ritter made his fourth consecutive start in the center of midfield. He came off at halftime for Alex, who was making a second consecutive substitute appearance after missing six matches May 3-June 4.

“[Alex has] not played a league game for a good nine weeks or so. Once they went to 10 men, I felt we needed something more offensive, and Alex obviously has more of an offensive mind than Chris [Ritter]; Chris had a pretty good bang on his eye, so I think it was a smart move to do that,” said Yallop. “If you look at the game as a whole, with Alex in there, we did create enough chances to get something out of it. Whether he played really well himself, he didn't play for a while, so he was going to be a little rusty. But I think that the formation was fine, and it gave us enough chances to get into the game or win the game.”

The Fire made a late tactical adjustment when Juan Luis Anangono came on for Greg Cochrane. “We went to three in the back, but it didn't quite work, so I put Jeff [Larentowicz] back. So we were going to go

with Jeff, Baky [Soumare], and Patrick [Ianni], but we decided to just go with four and just push Lovel [Palmer] and [Grant] Ward, playing right back, he's really a right wing, forward,” said Yallop. “We possessed the ball enough, did enough to get something out of it, so we were definitely going for it to try and get a win.”

Bittersweet history against the Chicago Fire

Sporting KC’s 25 regular season losses to the Fire are the most to any team in MLS. Chicago’s 84 regular season goals scored against Sport-ing KC is also a league-high. However, two of Sporting KC’s four major championships -- the 2000 MLS Cup and the 2004 U.S. Open Cup -- came against the Fire. Sporting KC won the lone MLS postseason match be-tweentherivals,earningtheirfirstMLSCuptitleonOct.15,2000.

Sporting KC shutting opponents down on the road

Coming on the heels of a 2-0 win at the Houston Dynamo on June 6, Sporting KC’s 1-0 win at the Portland Timbers on June 27 was historic. For just the third time in club history, Sporting KC registered consecutive shutout road wins in MLS competition (including postseason). The team has won at least two straight away games 13 times since 1996, but never posted consecutive clean sheets during those runs until 2011.

Peter Vermes’ men achieved back-to-back shutout road victories for the firsttimeeverwhentheynotchedfourstraightfromOctober2011toApril2012, a streak that spanned two seasons (including the 2011 postseason). Sporting KC accomplished this feat for the second time when they rattled off three straight from August to September 2012.

Sporting KC now has four away victories in 2014, second-most in MLS behindtheSeattleSounders’five.Sincethebeginningof2011,noteamhas more regular season road wins (24) or shutout road wins (13) than Sporting KC.

Injuries and international duty test Sporting KC’s depth

Through 16 games in the 2014 MLS regular season, Sporting KC has featured 16 different starting lineups. Peter Vermes’ lineup selection has been complicated by several factors throughout the year. In March, the club had to balance multiple competitions during the CONCACAF ChampionsLeaguequarterfinals.InMay,schedulecongestioncametotheforefront with seven MLS games during the month. To complicate matters, Chance Myers and Ike Opara have suffered season-ending injuries; Matt Besler, Graham Zusi and Lawrence Olum have seen extended international action; and Erik Palmer-Brown and Aurelien Collin have served one-game suspensions, with the latter also picking up a minor injury.

As a result, 25 different players have started an MLS match for the club this season, most of all 19 teams. Sporting KC’s defense has been stretched most of all, with eight different players featuring in the centerback position during the 2014 campaign.

Sporting Park sellout streak and Open Cup attendance numbers

Sporting Park has sold out 44 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 44 matches, Sporting KC is 24-9-11, has recorded 15 shutouts, and has outscored their opponents 57-34.

Sporting Park attendance at Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup matches has also been strong. The turnout of 15,307 at Sporting KC’s fourth round win on June 18 was the highest announced attendance in the 2014 U.S. Open Cup thus far. In fact, it was the seventh best-attended U.S. Open Cup match dating back to 2011. Since then, Sporting Park has played host to six of the 10 best-attended U.S. Open Cup matches.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY The Fire are 25-12-10 in MLS regular season matches against Sporting Kansas City, and an even 8-8-8 record in matches played on the road. This is the second meeting between the two sides this year. On May 18 the Fire defeated Sporting Kansas City 2-1 at Toyota Park. The Fire will finish out the series on the road at Sporting Park on Oct. 10. The final stop of Fire Technical Director Brian Bliss’ playing career was Kansas City, where he played his final season for the Wizards in 1998. In 2000, Bliss was appointed assistant coach for the Wizards. In six seasons in Kansas City, the Wizards won the 2000 MLS Supporters’ Shield, 2000 MLS Cup and the 2004 U.S. Open Cup. Forward Quincy Amarikwa’s 45th minute yellow card against Toronto FC on July 2 is his fifth of the season, which will force him to miss Sunday’s match at Sporting Kansas City. Defender Jhon Kennedy Hurtado will return for this match after serving a one-game suspension for a red card he received against the Seattle Sounders on June 7.

A LOOK AT THE FIRE The Chicago Fire (2-4-9, 15 pts.) entered their 17th season of MLS play after a busy offseason. With two-time MLS Cup champion and two-time MLS Coach of the Year Frank Yallop at the helm, Yallop built his coaching staff to include tremendous experience, naming Ring of Fire member C.J. Brown and 2002 FIFA World Cup veteran Clint Mathis as assistant coaches, and 1988 Olympian and 1990 World Cup defender Brian Bliss as Technical Director. The Men in Red return a strong core of veteran leaders, including 2013 MLS MVP Mike Magee, Jeff Larentowicz, Patrick Nyarko and Gonzalo Segares. Offseason acquisitions Jhon Kennedy Huratado, Patrick Ianni and Lovel Palmer were added to shore up the back line, while the Fire also added talented young players including U.S. Youth International Benji Joya, and Homegrown players Harry Shipp and Chris Ritter.
