The clubs are separated by just a single point in the standings, KC a point behind East leaders Columbus Crew, followed by Philadelphia, in a tie with Houston. Sporting are coming off their first road game in more than two months, a 1-0 loss at Real Salt Lake, while Union put an end to an eight-game winless run with a 1-0 win against Columbus at home.

The teams played to a scoreless draw in the first meeting this season, June 22 at PPL Park. Kansas City won their home meeting last season at CommunityAmerica Ballpark, before the teams played to a

draw at PPL Park. Coaches record: Peter Vermes v PHI: P3 W0 L1 D2 … Peter Nowak vs. KC: P13 W6 L3 D4

LAST MEETING (MLS) 6/22: PHI 0, KC 0

Union had a season-high 26 attempts at goal, and forced Sporting goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen to make seven saves on the night, including a pair of stops from close range on Jack McInerney and Carlos Ruiz midway through the first half.

Union goalkeeper Faryd Mondragon was not credited with a single save on the night. PHILADELPHIA UNION (4-3-1-2): Faryd Mondragon - Sheanon Williams, Carlos Valdes, Danny Califf, Jordan

Harvey - Sebastien Le Toux, Brian Carroll, Justin Mapp (Roger Torres 78) - Veljko Paunovic (Amobi Okugo 66) - Jack McInerney (Keon Daniel 60), Carlos Ruiz.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City played their first road game in more than two months, going down to a 1-0 defeat by Real Salt Lake on Saturday evening at Rio Tinto Stadium. Sporting have 40 points from 29 matches on the season, in second place in the Eastern Conference. LAST MATCH

The game's lone goal came in the 54th minute, when Kyle Beckerman lofted a free kick into the penalty kick and center back Nat Borchers flicked it into the back of the net.

Sporting manager Peter Vermes made three changes to the team that rolled to a 3-0 win against the Houston Dynamo at Livestrong Sporting Park. Michael Harrington came in for Chance Myers, and Aurelien Collin and Kei Kamara also returned to the team, in place of Jeferson and Kei Kamara.


SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-2-3-1): Jimmy Nielsen - Michael Harrington, Aurelien Collin, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic - Julio Cesar (Jeferson 86), Roger Espinoza (Davy Arnaud 81) - Kei Kamara, Graham Zusi, Omar Bravo (C.J. Sapong 69) - Teal Bunbury.

TEAM NEWS The loss was just the third in MLS play since late May – and all three have come against Western Conference

clubs currently holding playoff places: Seattle (Aug. 6), Dallas (Aug. 27) and Real Salt Lake. “Especially in the first half, they couldn’t string passes together,” SKC manager Peter Vermes said. “Our guys

were closing down the lanes and spaces. When we won it, we moved the ball from side to side, switching the point of attack and getting after them.”

It was, of course, the first road game for Sporting since a July 16 trip to Houston, a 1-1 draw. Sporting went 5-2-2 on their MLS-record nine-game homestand.

“I thought we did a very good job of coming out after a long homestand, not missing a beat and putting a lot of pressure on them for the better part of the game,” said midfielder Graham Zusi.

Sporting were also shut out offensively for the first time since June 22, scoring a goal in 14 consecutive matches. It was the seventh attacking shutout of the season – SKC lost each of the first three by 1-0 scorelines, before playing to three consecutive 0-0 draws.

“We were very good in the run of play. I walk away thinking we played very well tonight and could have walked away with something more than zero points,” Vermes said.

The Union game starts a two-game home stretch for Sporting; three of their final five games will be at Livestrong Sporting Park.

“Obviously the home games were great for us with the atmosphere, but we have to play these games away against good opponents when it comes time for the playoffs,” said Teal Bunbury.

The Union game also starts a pair of games against the teams immediately around Sporting in the Eastern Conference table, a point ahead of Philadelphia for second place and a point behind Columbus in first.

“We’ve played very well for a long time now,” Vermes said. “I thought we played well again tonight. We’re not going to change a bunch of things. We’re a good team, and we have the ability to play with anyone in this league. We need to do that in these last five games of the season.”

PHILADELPHIA UNION Philadelphia Union put an end to their winless run at eight games, defeating the Columbus Crew 1-0 on Saturday evening at PPL Park. Union have 39 points from 28 matches on the year, in third place in the Eastern Conference. LAST MATCH

The game's only goal came in the 32th minute. Sebastien Le Toux broke free to run onto a brilliant long ball from Roger Torres and beat Crew goalkeeper William Hesmer with a clinical finish from inside the area.

Union manager Peter Nowak made two changes to the team that played to a scoreless draw with the Portland Timbers at PPL Park. Gabriel Farfan and Zach Pfeffer came into the side in place of Danny Mwanga and Veljko Paunovic.

PHILADELPHIA UNION (4-2-3-1): Zac MacMath - Sheanon Williams, Carlos Valdes, Danny Califf, Gabriel Farfan - Brian Carroll, Michael Farfan - Roger Torres (Morgan Langley 80), Freddy Adu (Amobi Okugo 75), Zach Pfeffer (Danny Mwanga 63) - Sebastien Le Toux.

TEAM NEWS The win put an end to an eight-game winless streak for Union, their first victory since defeating New England 3-

0 on July 17. They went 0-3-5 in that stretch, the longest winless skid in the two-year club history. “It was a tough two months without a win,” said Union manager Peter Nowak. “I think we broke the curse.

We’ve been waiting a long time for this.” Added Union center back Danny Califf: “Certainly we’ve played well enough to win in the course of eight weeks.

We felt a bit snakebitten for a while, and to finally get that win – in probably one of the biggest games of club history – is a big relief.”

Union rookie goalkeeper Zac MacMath has now recorded shutouts in back-to-back games, after allowing four goals in his first professional start, Sept. 7 vs. New England. He was in goal for a victory for the first time against Columbus, after backstopping the scoreless draw vs. Portland.

Nowak ran out a team against Columbus that featured seven players 23 years of age or younger. "Someday you have to start this way. We told every guy he deserves the opportunity. The idea was in my head

a long time ago to play differently," Nowak said. "I think you could see in practice that these guys were pushing very hard, and they deserved the shot.”

Playing as a lone striker in Nowak’s scheme, Sebastien Le Toux scored his sixth goal in the last six games. Philadelphia has scored nine goals in that time.

“I like to play with two, usually with Danny [Mwanga] like last year, because we have some good movement together,” Le Toux said. “Playing up top alone was a bit different, but I like it because we have lots of good


midfield players between Roger, Freddy, Zach, Brian, and Michael. We do a great job defensively first, then we play quickly first time, taking the space.

Nowak gave 16-year-old Zach Pfeffer his first professional start, on the left side of midfield. “I think he was nervous as soon as he saw his name on board. He sensed that he might start a game and during the practice he was very good. He was doing good with the first team. The (63) minutes he played was a good start,” Nowak said.

Recently signed 22-year old Morgan Langley also made his league debut, coming in as a second-half substitute along with 20-year-olds Amobi Okugo and Danny Mwanga.

“Even though it was a big game, they didn’t play nervous or afraid,” said Califf. “I think that also has to do with Peter’s mentality, putting those guys in, giving them a vote of confidence and saying, ‘Look, I believe in you. I think you guys have it in you and I want to give you a chance to show yourselves on a big stage.’”

KANSAS CITY CONNECTIONS

Sporting Kansas City held Philadelphia to a scoreless draw in the two teams’ previous meeting in 2011 on June 22nd at PPL Park. The Union, in first place in the Eastern Conference at the time, outshot Sporting KC 26-8, but Kansas City goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen made seven saves for the club’s fourth shutout in their past five matches.

Sporting Kansas City was without Graham Zusi, Aurelien Collin and Roger Espinoza for the draw, but remained unbeaten in the three all-time meetings with Philadelphia, holding a 1-0-2 record.

• Sporting Kansas City defender Shavar Thomas was acquired by Kansas City from Philadelphia on June 30, 2010. Philadelphia selected the veteran center back in an Expansion Draft held on November 25, 2009 and he made one appearance for the Union before being traded to Kansas City, where he had previously played from 2004-2006. Thomas has appeared in 19 games since his return.- Sporting Kansas City Manager Peter Vermes played high school soccer in Delran, New Jersey, approximately 15 miles from Phila-delphia.

PLAYOFF PREVIEW? | Sporting Kansas City and the Philadelphia Union are separated by a single point in the Eastern Conference standings entering their match on Friday night at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park. If the standings remain the same, with Sporting KC currently in second place and the Philadelphia Union occupying the third spot in the East, the two teams would meet in a home-and-home Eastern Conference semifinal.

Sporting Kansas City sits one point back of the Columbus Crew for first place in the Eastern Conference with five games remaining in the 2011 MLS regular season. The club’s climb up the table came courtesy of a 14-game unbeaten run that stretched from May to August. The unbeaten streak matched the longest run in MLS this season and equalled the 3rd longest in MLS history.

Philadelphia Union vs. Sporting Kansas City – Friday, September 23, 2011 – 8:30 p.m. ET

LAST MLS MATCH

This past Saturday, Philadelphia Union recorded

their first franchise victory against Columbus Crew. Peter

Nowak fielded an attacking lineup, dominated by youth.

Midfielder Zach Pfeffer made his first MLS start and held his

own at only 16 years of age. The 1-0 victory gave Union 39

points, only two behind Division leader Columbus.

The Union attacked well for the majority of the first

half, and in the 32nd-minute Roger Torres found space at

midfield and played a brilliant ball over the top to a

streaking Le Toux who calmly slotted it past goalkeeper

William Hesmer. Toward the end of the first half, Zac

Pfeffer almost finished a series of nice buildup play which

would have completed a fairy tale debut for the youngster.

His shot in the end was easily handled by Hesmer, though.

The second half saw Philadelphia pack it in and

defend, which they did well. Amobi Okugo came on for

Freddy Adu to bolster the Union defense in the 75th-minute

and Morgan Langley, just signed from Harrisburg City

Islanders, subbed in for Roger Torres to make his MLS

debut.

Scoring Summary:

PHI -- Sebastien Le Toux 7 (Roger Torres 1) 32

Columbus Crew -- William Hesmer, Sebastian Miranda,

Julius James, Shaun Francis, Eric Gehrig, Dilly Duka,

Danny O'Rourke, Dejan Rusmir (Josh Gardner 83), Robbie

Rogers, Tommy Heinemann (Justin Meram 62), Andres

Carroll, Roger Torres (Morgan Langley 80), Sebastien Le

Toux, Michael Farfan.

Kyle Nakazawa, Thorne Holder.

Misconduct Summary:

CLB -- Dejan Rusmir (caution; Handball) 12

LAST MATCH VS. SPORTING KANSAS CITY

The last time these two teams met, a 0-0 tie saw

Philadelphia Union move into a first-place tie with New

York Red Bulls in the Eastern Conference. The tie left

Sporting Kansas City at the opposite end of the table,

sitting in last place with a 3-6-5 overall record.

Philadelphia looked strong in the first half,

registering four shots on goal a few of which demanded

impressive saves from Kansas City goalkeeper, Jimmy

Nielson. Philadelphia’s best opportunity came in the 72nd-

minute when Sebastien Le Toux’s cross found Carlos Ruis

whose header beat Nielson, but found the woodwork.

The Union ended the game with seven shots on

target to Sporting Kansas City’s one, but were unable to

find the back of the net.

Scoring Summary:

None

Sporting KC -- Jimmy Nielsen, Chance Myers, Julio Cesar,

BACK ON TRACK

Philadelphia proved this past Saturday that the team

is set to make a push for the playoffs. Peter Nowak fielded a

young, attacking team against Columbus Crew and they were

able to come away with a 1-0 victory and three crucial points.

Sporting Kansas City were unable to take advantage of

Philadelphia’s Saturday night win. The team lost 1-0 to Real

Salt Lake and was unable to take control of the Eastern

Conference. The top of the East now has three teams

separated by one point. Philadelphia sit in third place with 39

points but have a game in hand on both Sporting Kansas City

and Columbus Crew.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY ACQUAINTANCES

Sporting Kansas City and Philadelphia Union have

players whose college careers have intersected in the past.

Kansas City’s Graham Zusi attended University of

Maryland from 2005-2008. During his time there, he

played with Thorne Holder (2007) and Zac MacMath

(2008-2010). None of the three, however, were Terrapins

when Danny Califf attended the university years before in

1998-2000.

Before beginning his professional soccer career,

Sporting’s Chance Myers attended UCLA from 2006-2007.

During his time in California, Chance played with Kyle

Nakazawa (2006-10) but left to join Ventura County

Fusion before Amobi Okugo arrived in 2009.

Although Michael Farfan and Sporting Kansas

City’s Michael Harrington share similar paths on their road

to professional soccer, they have never crossed as

teammates. Michael Harrington attended the IMG Soccer

Academy from 2001-2003 and left in 2003 to play for

University of North Carolina. Michael Farfan also attended

IMG Soccer Academy, but began in 2004. He also attended

UNC (2009-2010) but never played with Harrington whose

tenure as a Tar Heel lasted from 2003-2006.


PETER NOWAK VS. SPORTING KANSAS CITY

Peter Nowak has enjoyed some success against

Sporting Kansas City. Although he has yet to beat Sporting

Kansas city as Union manager, Nowak has posted a 6-3-4

record against Kansas City over his coaching career in Major

League Soccer. When Nowak’s team has scored the first goal,

they are 6-0-2.

UNION VS. SPORTING KC BY THE NUMBERS

Offensive Conversion Rate (Goals/Shots)

2010 – Philadelphia 11.67% (35/300) vs. Sporting KC 9.16%

(36/393)

2011 – Philadelphia 10.65% (36/338) vs. Sporting KC 10.89%

(43/395)

Defensive Conversion Rate (Goals Allowed/Opposition

Shots on Goal)

2010 – 33.33% (49/147) vs. Sporting KC 29.66% (35/118)

2011 – 36.29% (30/82) vs. Sporting KC 32.46% (37/114)

IN STRIKING DISTANCE

Philadelphia Union’s win on Saturday against

Columbus Crew has tightened the race for the Eastern

Conference and has left Philadelphia in a great place going

into Friday’s game. Philadelphia’s 39 points leave them two

behind Columbus (41) and one behind Sporting Kansas City

(40). Both of these teams have 29 games played to

Philadelphia’s 28.

A win on Friday will push Philadelphia atop the

Eastern Conference. A tie for Philadelphia will leave Union in

third place, narrowing the gap between the first and third to

just one point. Columbus is set to play LA Galaxy at home on

Saturday night.

UNION ANNOUNCE SEPTEMBER 24 BLOOD DRIVE

Philadelphia Union will be hosting their second annual blood drive on Saturday, September 24. Sponsored by the American Red Cross, the drive will take place in PPL Park’s Stadium Club. All blood donors will receive a commemorative 2011 Philadelphia Union Blood Drive scarf, two tickets to a practice session on October 5, and a chance to win two suite ticket vouchers to Philadelphia’s final home game against Toronto FC on October 15.

EASTERN GOAL DIFFERENCE

Philadelphia and Kansas City share the best goal

differential in the Eastern Conference. Philadelphia have 36

goals for with 30 against, while Sporting Kansas City have

43 for and 37 goals against. Both teams have amassed a

positive six goal difference.

YOUTH INFLUENCE

Philadelphia Union’s lineup this past Saturday

averaged 23.55 years of age. It featured seven players 23 or

younger including 16-year-old Zach Pfeffer who made his first

Major League Soccer start. Morgan Langley, 22, debuted for

Philadelphia, playing ten minutes as a sub for Roger Torres.

The young team was able to snap the Union’s longest

winless streak in franchise history – eight games – against one

of the best teams in the Eastern Conference.


SHAVAR THOMAS

Sporting Kansas City’s Shavar Thomas has a history

with Philadelphia Union. The Jamaican defender was selected

by Philadelphia in the 2009 MLS Expansion Draft, but was

traded to Kansas City in exchange for two MLS SuperDraft

picks and allocation money.

The defender was featured once in the Philadelphia

lineup, playing 35 minutes. He has had a limited role for

Kansas City this year, playing in three games for a total of

only 35 minutes.

PLAYOFF TIE-BREAKERS

If teams are equal in points at the end of the season,

the following tie-breakers will be evaluated to determine

who is awarded the higher position.

1. Head-to-head competition (better win/loss record

in current regular season games)

2. Goal differential (Goals For – Goals Against)

3. Total Goals this season

4. Road 1-3. (1. Did the team in question beat the

other team on the road? 2. Does the team have a

higher goal difference on the road? 3. Did the team

score more goals away from home?)

5. Home 1-3

6. Team with the fewest team disciplinary points in

the League Fair Play table.

7. If the teams remain tied, a coin will be flipped.

CLOSE AT THE TOP

As the regular season winds down, the fight for the

playoffs in the Eastern Conference is heating up. Only two

points separate #1 Columbus Crew (40) from #4 Houston

Dynamo (39). Philadelphia Union (39) sit at #3. This past

Saturday saw New York Red take back the fifth spot from

D.C. United. United are still in a strong position. The team

has 34 points and at least two games in hand on each of the

five teams in front of them.

If the postseason were to start today, Philadelphia

would finish in third place in the Eastern Conference. They

would play the Eastern Conference’s second place team,

Sporting Kansas City, in a two-legged, aggregate series. The

first game would be at PPL Park on October 30. The second

game would be at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park on

November 3.

DIEGO GUTIERREZ RETUNRS

TO A FAMILIAR FIELD

Philadelphia Union’s Head of Scouting and Player

Development could offer some insight into what to expect

when the Union travel to Kansas City this Friday.

The Colombian defender recorded 134 appearances

for Kansas City Wizards during his playing career in Major

League Soccer. At the game on Friday Gutierrez will join

his wife, a Kansas City native, and a group of 100 family

members/friends to watch the clash between two of the

Eastern Conference’s best teams.

SEBASTIEN LE TOUX FORM

In the past six games, Sebastien Le Toux has netted

six times for Philadelphia Union. The forward’s run of form

comes at the perfect time in the season, with vital games

coming up against teams in the hunt for the Eastern

Conference playoff spots. The French forward leads

Philadelphia in goals (7) and assists (8).

Le Toux has also started, and played the full 90

minutes in each of Philadelphia’s games this year, logging

2,520 minutes.

PLAYOFF DATES

Major League Soccer announced the official MLS Cup 2011 playoff dates on August 9. Wild Card games will take place on October 26-27; Conference Semifinal first and second legs will run from October 29-30 and November 2-3, respectively. Conference Championships will be played on November 5-6 with MLS crowning a 2011 champion at the Home Depot Center on November 20. There is a gap between the Conference Championship matches and the MLS Cup Final because FIFA has reserved November 11th and 15th for international fixtures.
