March 29, 2014 (WEEK 4, MLS Game #28) 4 p.m. MT (Altitude; KMCI-38) A pair of teams coming off quality wins meet when the Colorado Rapids play host to Sporting Kansas City on Saturday afternoon at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. The Rapids won for the first time last week under head coach Pablo Mastroeni, defeating the Portland Timbers 2-0 behind a pair of penalty kicks in their home opener. Sporting won for the first time in league play in defense of their MLS Cup title, converting a penalty kick in a 1-0 home win vs. the San Jose Earthquakes. REFEREE: Jose Carlos Rivero.

Since then, KC is 2-0-5 vs. Colorado. The Rapids haven’t won in Kansas City since 2002, a 2-1 win at Arrowhead Stadium. Since, Kansas City is 8-

0-4 at home vs. Colorado, including a 2-1 win at Sporting Park in the only meeting a season ago. Coaches record: Peter Vermes vs. COL: P7 W2 L0 D5 … Pablo Mastroeni vs. KC: first game

COLORADO RAPIDS The Colorado Rapids made a winner of Pablo Mastroeni for the first time as a head coach, getting a pair of penalty kicks on their way to a 2-0 win against the Portland Timbers on Saturday afternoon at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. The Rapids are in a tie for fifth place in the Western Conference with 4 points from 2 games. LAST MATCH

The Rapids took the lead midway through the second half. A ball played over the top ball from Dillon Powers drew Timbers goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts off his line, and after he caught Deshorn Brown with his tackle in the area, he was shown a red card. Vicente Sanchez coolly converted for his second penalty-kick goal in the 73rd minute.

Barely a minute later, substitute goalkeeper Andrew Weber clipped Sanchez in the area as he raced onto another Powers feed, and referee Mark Geiger again pointed to the spot. Deshorn Brown took the resulting penalty kick and saw it saved by Weber, but Brown was able to bang in the rebound.

Rapids midfielder Jose Mari saw a second yellow in the 90th minute, evening the sides at 10 men apiece, but Portland was unable to work its way back into the match.

Rapids head coach Pablo Mastroeni made three changes to the team that reached a 1-1 draw with the New York Red Bulls. Marc Burch came into the back four for Christopher Klute, Vicente Sanchez started in midfield in place of Dillon Serna, and Edson Buddle came in up top for Gabriel Torres.

COLORADO RAPIDS (4-2-3-1): John Berner - Shane O'Neill, Marvell Wynne, Drew Moor, Marc Burch - Jose Mari (ejected 90), Nick LaBrocca - Deshorn Brown, Dillon Powers (Kamani Hill 86), Vicente Sanchez (Marvin Chavez 80) - Edson Buddle (Gabriel Torres 79).

TEAM NEWS Pablo Mastroeni became a winner for the first time as an MLS head coach, in his second at the helm after

being installed as the head coach just before the start of the season. “It feels great. We wanted to build off of last week’s performance. And the home opener, it was a great

atmosphere. The conditions weren’t ideal, but I thought the team fought through and thought we had a good performance,” said goalkeeper John Berner.

Two or more penalty kicks were called in the same game for the 48th time in MLS history; the record is three penalty kicks in a game, set on 11 occasions. The Rapids have received a pair of penalty kicks five times in their history; amazingly, they’ve converted both just twice.

MLS GAME INFORMATION

“What I wanted was for the guys to push a bit higher and really take the game to them. Altitude is a big advantage for us and we want to utilize that. And I think in the 65th, 70th minute we really want to press their backs, make them feel the air and get momentum going our way,” said Mastroeni.

All three Colorado goals on the season have now come as a result of penalty kicks, two scored by Sánchez and the third on the rebound of a saved attempt by Deshorn Brown.

“If the referee calls it, whatever it is, it is,” Mastroeni said. “I can’t override any calls. I can’t take them away. I don’t waste my energy commenting on refs. My focus is purely on what do we need to do as a team to continue on the path and what we need to do to improve every game.”

Midfielder Dillon Serna, who made his first professional start in the season opener, was unable to feature after suffering a leg injury in training in the days leading to the match and Vicente Sánchez started in his stead.

“It was a very tight game. The most important thing is the three points. We’re getting better, and the season just started, and we’re getting to know Pablo’s style of soccer. We’re very happy and now we’re hoping to win the next game as well,” said Sánchez.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City won for the first time in league play in 2014, getting a second-half penalty kick for the only goal of the game in a victory against the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday evening at Sporting Park. Sporting sit in a tie for fourth place in the Eastern Conference with 4 points from 3 games. LAST MATCH

The game's lone goal came in the 57th minute. After Quakes forward Steven Lenhart batted a ball during a scrum in the penalty area, referee Ricardo Salazar pointed to the spot. San Jose 'keeper Jon Busch went to his left, and Sporting's Dom Dwyer calmly shot low and behind him.

SKC goalkeeper Eric Kronberg was called upon to make just one save for his first league shutout of the season. Sporting manager Peter Vermes made five changes to the team that played to a 1-1 draw with FC Dallas at

Sporting Park. Kevin Ellis and Ike Opara came into the back four for Mechack Jerome and Matt Besler, Lawrence Olum and Paulo Nagamura started in midfield for Oriol Rosell and Jimmy Medranda, and Graham Zusi came into the side for C.J. Sapong.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Eric Kronberg - Kevin Ellis, Ike Opara, Aurelien Collin, Seth Sinovic - Lawrence Olum - Paulo Nagamura, Benny Feilhaber - Sal Zizzo (C.J. Sapong 75), Dom Dwyer, Graham Zusi.

TEAM NEWS It was the first league victory for Sporting of the season, in their third match. The last defending champion to go

that long before their first victory in their title defense was the Columbus Crew in 2009, who opened the season winless in their first seven matches.

We've always said that the league play is the foundation to everything that we do and for us to make sure that we continue to get better. Even though we lost our first game, the second one we tied and now we've won. It's a good progression for us to keep going with some confidence,” said Sporting manager Peter Vermes.

Sporting have not scored more than a goal in their five matches in all competitions this year, including a pair of 1-0 wins (also defeating Mexico’s Cruz Azul in the CONCACAF Champions League).

After scoring his first career MLS goal last Aug. 3, Dom Dwyer now has three goals in his last 13 league appearances, also scoring once in five postseason matches a year ago.

“I always say, the hardest thing about this game is creating chances; being in and around the goal and creating chances. If you can't create chances, you're never going to score. It doesn't matter how good your players are,” Vermes said. “We wind up creating them, it's just a matter of us getting into that rhythm. I have all the confidence in the world in the group that we're going to do it.”

For a second consecutive match, Sporting held the opposition to just a single shot on target for the entire match.

“I think a lot of it started with our positioning from the back line to the midfield to the forwards. Dom was doing a great job of putting their defenders under pressure so they didn't have as much time as they would have liked to dump as many balls as they did,” said defender Ike Opara. Finding a way to win that first ball and being well-located with our midfielders and outside backs to win that second ball. I think that was key for us.”

It was the second career shutout for KC goalkeeper Eric Kronberg. His first came June 4, 2011, in a scoreless draw with Toronto FC at BMO Field.

“I'm proud of this win because they are very dangerous the last five minutes of the game. That is something we have been working on, especially with the last few games and we got it right this time,” Kronberg said. “We managed the clock, we took the balls to corners, we did everything right to close out a win and we did really well.”

CURRENT SPORTING KC VS. RAPIDS (21-17-13)


Match Preview The Rapids continue their 2014 start with yet another tough matchup, taking on the 2013 MLS Cup Champions Sporting Kan-sas City this Saturday, March 29 at 4 p.m. MT at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. The Rapids have had success in their first two matches, earning a 1-0-1 (W-L-T) record, including their latest 2-0 victory at home against the Portland Timbers on March 22. The Rapids are led in scoring by Vicente Sánchez with two goals, followed by Deshorn Brown with one. History against Kansas City Against Sporting Kansas City, the Colorado Rapids hold a 17-21-13 all-time record, compared to a 14-4-8 all-time record when playing in Colorado against KC. The last time the Rapids defeat-ed Kansas City was five years and a day ago when the Rapids won 2-1 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on March 28, 2009. They have lost twice and tied five times since then in the regular sea-son. 2014 Sporting KC Last year’s MLS Cup champions, Sporting KC have started the season with a 1-1-1 record in Major League Soccer, while also playing two CONCACAF Champions League matches in between games. Their only loss has come on the road, a 1-0 defeat at the Seattle Sounders in the season opener. Last weekend, Sporting defeated San Jose 1-0 at home. Dom Dwyer and Aurelien Collin are the team’s only goalscorers so far, with one each. Rapids 2, Portland Timbers 0 On March 22, the Rapids earned a 2-0 victory over the Portland Timbers in their home opener at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Vicente Sanchez scored a penalty kick and minutes later Deshorn Brown scored on a reboud from a penalty kick. Rookie goalkeeper John Berner earned his first career shutout in his second professional match. Kansas City Connections Sporting KC forward Jacob Peterson began his MLS career with the Rapids in 2006. He played in 92 games, scoring eight goals and adding five assists for Colorado through the 2009 season before being traded at the start of 2010. Merch of the Match At each home game, the Colorado Rapids have teamed up with Altitude Authentics to offer a special price on one item, called the Merch of the Match. For March 29, the item will be the a 3x5 Col-orado Rapids flag, offered for just $9 at the Rapids Team Store and any Altitude Authentics kiosk at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Mastroeni at the helm Rapids Head Coach Pablo Mastroeni earned his first W on March 22 with the 2-0 victory over the Portland Timbers at home.

Mastroeni enjoyed a 16 year MLS playing career before being named the Colorado Rapids Head Coach on March 8. Team of the Week Rapids Head Coach Pablo Mastroeni and midfielder Dillon Pow-ers were named to the MLS Team of the Week for Week 3. The article on MLSsoccer.com commended Mastroeni for making “changes to his starting XI after an average performance in New York. In only his second game as a coach, Mastroeni showed that he has a bright future.” Regarding Powers, he “Showed again why he was the Rookie of the Year in 2013 and set up Deshorn Brown for the penalty that changed the game.” Rapids Reserves The Colorado Rapids Reserves will face the University of New Mexico this Sunday at 11 a.m. at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park Field 20. On March 23, the Rapids opened their 2014 run with a 3-1 victory against the University of Nebraska Omaha, with goals from Marlon Hairston, Grant Van De Casteele and Gabriel Torres. Irwin, Klute and Serna recovering Rapids goalkeeper Clint Irwin, Chris Klute and Dillon Serna are all showing signs of much improvement from recent injuries as they increase their participation in training each day. Goalkeeper Irwin, who suffered a quad strain before the start of the regular season, has returned to full training and was included in the 18-man roster on March 22. Klute (R hamstring - 3/15) and Serna (R ankle - 3/22) have been doing light training together, consisting mostly of jogging around the training fields. Berner’s first shutout John Berner, who made his MLS debut on March 22, earned his first professional shutout in the 2-0 home win against the Portland Timbers, making three saves during the game. Berner was the team’s fourth selection of the 2014 MLS SuperDraft with the 35th overall pick in the second round. He spent his collegiate years at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, where he was named back-to-back Missouri Valley Conference Goalkeeper of the Year. Rapids trialists Former Colorado Rapids goalkeeper Matt Pickens was signed on Wednesday by the Tampa Bay Rowdies of the NASL, one week after being waived by the Rapids. Pickens, who came to the Rap-ids in 2009 and played 116 matches for the club (all starts), start-ed two matches in 2013 before suffering a broken arm and miss-ing the bulk of the season and backing up Clint Irwin after his return from injury. He was claimed on waivers by the New Eng-
