SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs D.C. UNITED SPORTING PARK, Kansas City, Kan.

April 5, 2013 (WEEK 6, MLS Game #43) 7:30 p.m. CT (KSMO) Sporting Kansas City put their long shutout streak on the line in a key Eastern Conference battle when they receive D.C. United on Friday evening at Sporting Park. SKC haven’t allowed a goal now in three-plus games, since March 9, following their 2-0 home win against the Montréal Impact last weekend. United return to action with just two goals scored in their four matches this season, coming off a 2-1 home loss to the Columbus Crew on March 23. REFEREE: Armando Villarreal.

Sporting KC have a four-game winning streak alive vs. D.C. United. The last D.C. victory in the series came May 5, 2010 at RFK Stadium.

United have not won in Kansas City since 2007. In the seven visits since, Sporting have won four games with three ties; that includes two wins and two draws in four meetings all-time at CommunityAmerica Ballpark, and victories in both meetings at Sporting Park.

Sporting have won on each of their last two visits to RFK Stadium, a 1-0 scoreline on each occasion. Coaches record: Peter Vermes vs. DC: P8 W5 L2 T1 … Ben Olsen vs. KC: P4 W0 L4 T0

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City put an end to their three-game winless run, stopping the Montréal Impact’s perfect start with a 2-0 victory Saturday evening at Sporting Park. Sporting are in third place in the Eastern Conference with 8 points from 5 matches. LAST MATCH

Sporting opened the scoring after just five minutes. Benny Feilhaber latched onto the ball at midfield and sent in a through ball for Claudio Bieler, who cut the ball away from Matteo Ferrari at the top of the box then buried his low shot inside the right post.

The home side finally sealed the outcome in the 80th minute. This time Feilhaber filtered a through ball for Graham Zusi, and he fought off a challenge from Impact center back Karl Ouimette in the area before burying a shot past Troy Perkins with his left foot.

Sporting manager Peter Vermes made three changes to the team that played to a goalless draw with the New England Revolution. Chance Myers and Matt Besler came into the back four for Mechack Jerome and Ike Opara, and Graham Zusi came into the team for Soony Saad.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Jimmy Nielsen - Chance Myers, Aurelien Collin, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic - Oriol Rosell (Lawrence Olum 90) - Paulo Nagamura, Benny Feilhaber (Peterson Joseph 85) - Graham Zusi, Claudio Bieler, C.J. Sapong (Soony Saad 90)

TEAM NEWS While winning for the first time at home this season, Sporting also extended their undefeated streak to three

matches – all against Eastern Conference teams – following draws vs. Chicago and New England. “I think we could have scored a couple more goals but outside of that they were great on both sides of the ball,”

said SKC manager Peter Vermes. “In transitional moments, in regard to us losing it and winning it back and


then the second efforts in different situations were tremendous. I just think that our ultimate pressure lead to two very high quality goals. Great movement, excellent passes, and then great finishes.”

Graham Zusi returned from international duty to his place on the right side of the attacking threesome, and scored his second goal of the season, his first since opening day.

“He's playing with a lot of confidence, but he's also a very good player,” Vermes said. “His game is definitely evolving, and the confidence is allowing him to do some of the things that he's progressed in on the field.”

Benny Feilhaber recorded his first two assists since coming to Sporting in an offseason deal with the New England Revolution. The two assists matched his season total through 29 appearances with the Revolution a season ago; it was his second career two-assist game, also getting two Oct. 22, 2011 vs. Toronto FC.

“Kansas City plays a very different style of pressure than any other team in this league,” Feilhaber said. “It takes a little while for the new guys, including myself, to kind of pick up on it – when we want to go, when we want to hold a little more. It's obviously not the easiest system to figure out right off the bat, so I'm getting it little by little. I think I'm improving every game. Today, I think it all came together for myself and for the team.”

Said Vermes:” I told Benny as soon as he came off that this was his best performance for our team and it's exactly what we're looking for from him. I've seen him play for a long time and his defensive work and the bite he has in the midfield and today he was all over the place.”

It was a third consecutive shutout for Sporting and goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen, who have now not conceded a goal in 339 minutes.

“That streak doesn't really matter. All that matters is winning,” said Nielsen. “We had an outstanding performance today. It was so attractive; it was so sexy to watch. I was so proud. It's the best soccer we've played since I came here. As a team and individually, the only word for it is ‘outstanding.’”

Claudio Bieler scored his third goal in five games, his first since netting in each of Sporting’s opening two matches of the season. His fifth-minute opener vs. Montréal ended SKC’s goalless drought at 198 minutes.

D.C. UNITED D.C. United return to action following a weekend off, their last match a 2-1 home loss to the Columbus Crew on March 23. United are in a tie for seventh place in the Eastern Conference with 4 points from 4 matches. LAST MATCH

Columbus broke through in the 15th minute when an unmarked Josh Williams headed in Tyson Wahl's free kick from just beyond the edge of the six-yard box.

But United leveled the score in the 22nd minute with a moment of brilliance from Rafael. He reached Chris Pontius' header, turned on a Crew defender and struck a low drive from beyond 35 yards that dipped away from goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum and inside the right post.

But the Crew scored the winner 13 minutes into the second half. Federico Higuaín sent in a curling free kick from the left that surprised United 'keeper Hamid and caused him to spill it. A half-clearance fell to Ben Speas, who hammered home an open shot from the edge of the 18-yard box for his first career MLS goal.

United head coach Ben Olsen made two changes to the team that reached a scoreless result with the New York Red Bulls. Daniel Woolard came into the back four for Dejan Jakovic, and Rafael Teixeira started in place of Marcelo Saragosa.

D.C. UNITED (4-3-1-2): Bill Hamid - James Riley (Carlos Ruiz 81), Daniel Woolard, Brandon McDonald, Chris Korb - Nick DeLeon (Kyle Porter 31), Perry Kitchen, Chris Pontius - Dwayne De Rosario - Lionard Pajoy, Rafael Teixeira (Lewis Neal 70).

TEAM NEWS United lost for the first time at RFK Stadium in league play since opening day of the 2012 season – when they

suffered a 1-0 loss to Sporting Kansas City. “I don’t think there’s been good enough progression right now. But we’ve had some things to deal with. We’ve

had some injuries and call-ups as an excuse, I suppose, and we’ve got some new guys fitting in—Rafael today and [Dwayne De Rosario] in a new position,” said United head coach Ben Olsen. “I’m not overly alarmed. I don’t like what’s going on right now, the last two games in particular. But I do think that we have some new pieces and we are still finding out who we are, even though we have a lot of the same guys. “

Making his first appearance since signing as a Designated Player in the offseason, Rafael scored his first MLS goal – a stunning long-range strike.

“He is getting there. This was a big step for him. Obviously, he gets the goal, which helps,” said Olsen. “I thought it was crowded up there. Dwayne [De Rosario] was a touch high. There weren’t a lot of spaces or alleys to get into our forwards. And when Dwayne pulled off a little in the second half, there were more chances for Rafael and Pajoy. It was the first time they played together.”

United have scored two goals from four matches this season, with only two teams (New England and Chicago) having netted fewer goals this season.

“Most of it getting in a rhythm and getting that confidence to be able to play,” said Chris Pontius. “After last year, we need to be able to be more confident as players on the ball. … We're not holding the ball enough. We need


to give our defense more of a break to defend, and I think we do that with possession on the ball, and we just haven't done that.”

Goalkeeper Bill Hamid made seven saves vs. Columbus, and now has 20 saves for the season – the total is second in MLS, behind the 23 by Chivas USA goalkeeper Dan Kennedy, even following the bye week.

“We’re asking a lot of Bill Hamid right now. He’s a monster. And I wish I didn’t have to see him make so many great saves,” said Olsen. Said Dwayne De Rosario: “He's helped us to stay in the game. But we have to feed off that momentum, we have to feed off those big saves and push and initiate. Especially going back home. I just feel that we didn't really play with enough poise, enough passion.”

After playing as a withdrawn central attacker behind a lone striker in his first start in 2013, De Rosario was lined up as an attacking central midfielder behind a front two vs. Columbus.

“In the formation that we put out there, we are always going to have more attack,” said Olsen. “Dwayne in the midfield can help with ball possession. But it was just an easy day for them in the midfield. … Even saying that, we still had good looks towards the end to tie it up.”

With Dejan Jakovic on international duty with Canada, Daniel Woolard made his first start since the season opener, coming into central defense.

“The backline did extremely well, especially [since] it was makeshift. [Daniel] Woolard had to step in – he came off a head injury last year and had to step in to center back and he did extremely well. Brandon [McDonald] did extremely well, too,” said Hamid. “Just getting the ball forward is something we have to work on – getting the ball to the midfield, then getting the ball to the forward and then laying off to the midfield. We gotta get the ball forward more often.”

Nick DeLeon lasted just 31 minutes before coming off with a hamstring strain and is expected to miss about 6 weeks with the injury.

GAME NOTES Hamid’s Hot Streak Posting a single-game season-high seven saves in a 0-0 draw with the New York Red Bulls on 3/16 – including a goal-line clearance at the death – Hamid was named MLS Player of the Week for Week 3. The clean sheet at Red Bull Arena was Hamid’s second consecutive shutout and two of his saves were nominated for MLS Save of the Week. Hamid had previously collected the accolade in Week 1. The 22-year-old netminder has saved 20 of 24 shots on target and is also a joint-best in saves percentage (83.3%) for goalies that have blocked at least 10 shots. Additionally, Hamid is the only goalkeeper who has stopped a penalty kick this season, in eight total attempts across MLS. Lastly, the Annandale, VA native posted the second-longest shutout streak of 2013 thus far, going 196 minutes without conceding a goal. Immediate Impact Young Designated Player Rafael, 20, went into the D.C. United record books with his game-tying rocket of a goal from 35+ yards out in the 3/23 loss vs. Columbus. Tallying 22 minutes into his inaugural MLS start, Rafael’s strike was the second-quickest goal in club history in a debut start. Only Jaime Moreno notched a faster goal in his first League start when he put the ball in the back of the net four minutes into that game. Dominant Defense The Black-and-Red owns the second-longest span in MLS without conceding a goal at 196 consecutive minutes, posting back-to-back clean sheets in one home and one away game in that period of time. Slow Start in 2012 Despite a slow start in the Month of March in 2012 (1-2-1), D.C. United bounced back in the Month of April to go undefeated (3-0-2) and ended up making the playoffs for the first time in five years. Off the Mark Through five games of 2013, Sporting Kansas City has registered the second-lowest rate of shots on target (24.7% of total shots) in the League. Only the San Jose Earthquakes has hit a smaller percentage of its shots on target (24.2%). Getting Physical Sporting Kansas City has committed more fouls (78) than any team in MLS except Chivas USA (90).

Kansas City Drought Before its 2-0 win over the Montreal Impact last week, Sporting Kansas City was carrying an almost 200-minute goal-scoring drought, the fifth-longest stretch in MLS 2013. Evenly Matched In 45 all-time regular-season meetings between D.C. United and Sporting Kansas City, the clubs have evenly split their match-ups (18-18-9). Last season, United dropped both games to Kansas City, with scores of 1-0 and 2-1. Top Eastern Conference Sides Sporting Kansas City and D.C. United finished first and second in the Eastern Conference, respectively, in 2012. United advanced to the Eastern Conference finals while Sporting was eliminated by the Houston Dynamo in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Strike Success vs. Sporting Kansas City D.C. United has tallied 61 goals all-time against Sporting Kansas City, only scoring more against the New York Red Bulls (116), New England Revolution (87), Columbus Crew (81) and Chicago Fire (62). Going Up Early D.C. United will be looking to continue its first half scoring streak that saw them boast a perfect 7-0-0 mark in 2012 when leading its opponent at halftime. Brazilians on the Black-and-Red The recent signing of Brazilian talent Rafael, 20, makes him the youngest current (Young) Designated Player (DP) in the League and the second-youngest DP signing in League history. Rafael brings United’s total of Brazilian players to three – alongside Raphael Augusto and Marcelo Saragosa – tying the League lead for most players from the South American country with the 2012 MLS Cup winner LA Galaxy. Four sent to Richmond As a part of D.C. United’s landmark affiliation with USL PRO side the Richmond Kickers, the club on 3/19 sent defender/midfielder Taylor Kemp, forward Michael Seaton, midfielder Conor Shanosky and forward Casey Townsend there on a season-long loan.

MILESTONES Winning History D.C. United is one of Major League Soccer’s most storied clubs. The club has won four MLS Cups (1996, 1997, 1999, 2004), four Supporters’ Shields for putting together the best regular season record four times (1997, 1999, 2006, 2007), two U.S. Open Cup titles (1996, 2008) and two international trophies – the CONCACAF Champions Cup and InterAmerican Cup, both in 1998. One Win Shy of 300 If D.C. United claims victory tonight over the Columbus Crew, then it will be the club’s 300th win across all competitions, making the Black-and-Red the second team in MLS history to achieve the mark. The LA Galaxy was the first team in MLS to achieve 300 victories. Young League, Younger Talent On January 14, Homegrown player Michael Seaton, 16, became MLS’ first-ever signing to be born after the League’s inception in 1996. Best of the Best D.C. United is the only club in MLS to feature three current players who have won the MLS All-Star MVP award – Carlos Ruiz (2003), Dwayne De Rosario (2006), and Chris Pontius (2012).

De Rosario catching Twellman United captain Dwayne De Rosario is one goal away from tying Taylor Twellman’s mark (101) as MLS’ sixth all-time leading-scorer. De Rosario is also one game-winning goal away from tying Twellman for fifth all-time in the category. De Rosario saw his first action of 2013 against the New York Red Bulls last Saturday after sitting out the first two games due to suspension. Best of the Best D.C. United is the only club in MLS to feature three current players who have won the MLS All-Star MVP award – Carlos Ruiz (2003), Dwayne De Rosario (2006), and Chris Pontius (2012). Multi-Goal Magicians D.C. United forward Carlos Ruiz is currently tied with Black-and-Red legend Jamie Moreno for the fourth most multi-goal games in MLS history (17). Ruiz would hold the fourth most multi-goal games (outright) if he scores two or more goals in the next match. Additionally, Dwayne De Rosario is currently tied with Juan Pablo Angel for eighth most multi-goal games and would move to seventh if he can find the net two or more times in the next match. Ruiz Looking to Eclipse Lassiter United forward Carlos Ruiz is one goal away from being MLS’ ninth (outright) leading-scorer all time, currently tied for ninth with Roy Lassiter on the list with 88 goals. Ruiz is also third all-time in goals scored among active players, with teammate Dwayne De Rosario as the leader in the category with 100 goals.
