SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC v SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sounders FC put an end to their brief two-game winless run with the regular-season ending victory against Real Salt Lake, earning a home game in the Knockout Round in the process. On Sept. 10, Sounders FC were in ninth place in the Western Conference; since that date, they went 5-1-1 down the stretch to clinch a postseason berth. “We needed to win that game because the last two results we had weren’t wins and we needed to get into the playoffs on our own, so we didn’t have to rely on anybody else, because we take responsibility for our actions and we wanted to make sure that we get a nice little bump with the confidence and everything that comes along with a win like this against a tough team,” Sounders interim head coach Brian Schmetzer said. ... Sounders FC also continued their record of having reached the MLS Cup Playoffs in each year of the club's MLS history, now eight consec- utive seasons in the postseason. That's tied for the second-longest such run in MLS history, along with the LA Galaxy's current streak (the Galaxy qualified 10 years running in the first 10 seasons of the league). ... “That’s a big piece to this puzzle that we’ve been trying to figure out. We definitely didn’t think we’d be in this position halfway through the year. A lot of pressures from outside and within the group, but what we do is we persevere. One way to do that is to put your head down and work, and we’ve all done that for each other. There is a lot of respect in this locker room for the changes that were made," said Brad Evans. ... Alvaro Fernandez scored his first goal of the season in the regular season finale, his first MLS goal since Sept. 15, 2012, when he scored for the Chicago Fire vs. Montreal. ... Cristian Roldan scored his fourth goal of the season, his first since Aug. 21, netting the match-winner . ... "That first goal was probably our best bit of soccer the whole game. Cristian [Roldan] is just Cristian – opportunis- tic; right place, right time. Our set pieces have been pretty good, with Chad [Marshall] and Román [Torres] taking a lot of attention off some of the peripheral guys. So – well, we can’t fill [Clint] Dempsey’s shoes, but, yes, by collective, by committee, we did enough,” Schmetzer said. Sporting guaranteed a place in the 2016 MLS Cup Playoffs with the 2-0 win against the San Jose Earthquakes in the regular season finale at Children's Mercy Park, extending their streak of reaching the postseason to six seasons, a third consecutive year playing in the Knockout Round. “What we don't want to have are these aberrations where one year we are win- ning and the next year we are last place in the league. We want to continue to be competitive. We want to continue to do well and always put ourselves in a position to compete for MLS Cup. Our first goal is making the MLS playoffs and we have done that now six years in a row. I go back to giving credit to the effort and the guys' commitment to getting in,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes. ... The win also extended SKC's home undefeated streak to nine games to close out the reg- ular campaign, their longest since going 12 home games without loss last year. “You are not going to win every year. But we have been able to win three trophies in the last four years. And six times in the playoffs in a row, we are putting our- selves in a position every year to succeed. We would love to have a home game, so now we have to win an away one before we get the home one,” said midfielder Benny Feilhaber . ... Benny Feilhaber scored a goal from the penalty spot and added an assist in the San Jose win, the eighth time in his MLS career he’s had at least a goal and an assist in the same game. Feilhaber has been involved in each of SKC’s last six goals, with a goal and five assists in that run. ... Sporting go into the postseason on the heels of back-to-back shutouts, having recorded 10 clean sheets for the season. “It's a big piece of success in the league and, more impor- tantly, success in the playoffs and winning MLS Cup. You have to be able to keep goals out of the back of the net and it's got to be between two things; it's the play- ers doing everything they can to limit the number of shots and then your goal- keeper has to come up with big saves and both of those things have happened the last two weeks which has been great,” Vermes said. ... Vermes maintained an unchanged starting team for the final two games, the first time since mid-May Vermes was able to run out the same first XI in back-to-back league contests.

SOUNDERS FC vs. SPORTING KANSAS CITY | OCTOBER 27, 2016 - 7:00 P.M. PT

SOUNDERS FC SOUNDBYTESInterim Head Coach Brian Schmetzer:

On playing Sporting Kansas City: “We’ve played them, we kind of know them. It’s not a huge thing, but obviously with the importance of the game we will go over every single little detail, so that adds a little bit of time to our day. We know Kansas City, we know Peter [Vermes], we kind of know what to expect.”

On where to improve after the RSL match: “Even when I watched it on film, I wasn’t happy with giving up the goal right away. What I was concerned about mostly is that we are able to continue to find rhythm to our game. Developing a few more chances. We know Kansas City is stingy on defense and we need to create quality chances. We need to be dangerous.”

SERIES NOTESSounders FC is 7-4-3 all-time against Sporting, including a 3-2-2 record at CenturyLink Field. Sporting delivered Sounders FC its first-ever MLS loss in April 2009 before going winless in the next nine matches. In March, two sides began their 2016 MLS campaigns in a 1-0 SKC win at CenturyLink Field, then topped Seattle 3-0 in July.

The all-time series between Seattle and Sporting KC has historically been low-scoring and close. On six occasions, Seattle has scored in the 90th min-ute or later and 13 of 14 meetings have been decided by one goal or fewer. Thirteen of the 14 meetings have had three combined goals or fewer.

Thursday’s match marks the first postseason meeting between the two sides. Seattle hosts the contest as the fourth seed, extending its active streak of eight consecutive seasons with a top-four ranking in the Western Conference. Sporting secured the playoff spot on Decision Day after a home win versus the San Jose Earthquakes. Notably, the two sides played in the 2012 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final, which Sporting won in a penalty-kick shootout.

SOUNDERS FC WEEKLY NOTESDEMPSEY OUT FOR SEASON

Sounders General Manager & President of Soccer Garth Lagerwey announced that forward Clint Dempsey will not return this season as he continues to deal with an irregular heartbeat. Dempsey is the only player in MLS to record at least 10 goals and 10 assists in each of the past two seasons.

Dempsey, 33, has been sidelined with the issue since late August and underwent a procedure to address the condition shortly after his diagnosis. He returned to the team on September 14 to participate in light exercise, but Dempsey stopped training with the club the following week before his season officially ended. Dempsey is the USMNT’s second all-time leading goalscorer and joined the Sounders as a Designated Player in August 2013. He has 34 career goals for Seattle in 72 matches over three-plus seasons, including eight tallies this year.

LAST MEETING: VS. SPORTING KC A Dom Dwyer brace led the way as Seattle Sounders FC (6-12-2, 20 points) fell 3-0 to Sporting Kansas City (9-10-4, 31 points) on July 24 at Children’s Mercy Park. Jacob Peterson also added a strike in first-half stoppage time.

Sporting took the lead in the 21st minute of play, as Dwyer made a knifing run through Seattle’s area, rising to meet a Roger Espinoza cross at Stefan Frei’s far post. The Englishman headed home his attempt, netting his ninth goal of 2016.

Peterson cemented the home side’s lead in first-half stoppage-time, as the MLS veteran hit his shot first-time inside Seattle’s 18-yard-box, drilling it into the far-side upper corner of Frei’s net. Saad Abdul-Salaam and Ike Opara assisted on the goal, as Peter Vermes’ side went into the break with a two-goal lead.

Seattle adjusted the squad at the beginning of the second half, moving captain Brad Evans into midfield and bringing on centerbacks Zach Scott and Tony Alfaro to push Seattle into a 3-5-2 formation.

PLAYOFF PICTUREDespite sitting in ninth place in the Western Conference to begin the month of September, Sounders FC secured postseason qualification after a 2-1 home win over Real Salt Lake on Decision Day. Earning a playoff spot in each of the past eight seasons since its inaugural 2009 campaign, Sounders FC is currently tied with LA Galaxy for the longest postseason streak in MLS.

MR. SOUNDER HONOREDImmediately prior to kickoff last Sunday, longtime Sounders FC defender Zach Scott - often referred to as “Mr. Sounder” as a nod to his 15 years representing Seattle soccer -received a Golden Scarf in recognition of his storied career. Scott intends to retire following the conclusion of the 2016 season. The 36-year-old is one of three remaining original players from Sounders FC’s expansion season in 2009, and he ranks fifth in club history with 118 career regular-season appearances, starting 91.

SOUNDERS FC HISTORYINTERIM HEAD COACH BRIAN SCHMETZER

Longtime Sounders FC assistant and former USL Sounders manager Brian Schmetzer was named Interim Head Coach on July 26, 2016 following the departure of Sigi Schmid. Schmetzer entered his eighth season as Top Assistant Coach in 2016, a position he retained since December 22, 2008. He is one of the Puget Sound soccer community’s most recognizable figures after playing and coaching for the region’s top professional franchises since 1980.

Schmetzer served seven seasons as the Head Coach of the Sounders’ United Soccer League’s First Division club. He guided Seattle to USL-1 championships in 2005 and 2007, and Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup semifinal advancements in 2007 and 2008.

Schmetzer has 13 years of experience coaching and 15 years of playing at the professional level. He was a member of six championship teams during that span. Schmetzer was Head Coach of the USL-1 Sounders from 2002-2008. In addition to the two league championships, his teams also twice won the Commissioner’s Cup for the best record and qualified for the playoffs six of seven years. He was chosen USL-1 Coach of the Year in 2002 after going 23-4-1. The Sounders were league runners-up in 2004. His overall regular season record was 100-57-41. A Seattle native, Schmetzer signed with the Sounders’ North American Soccer League franchise following his graduation from Nathan Hale High School in 1980. He played three seasons as a midfielder for Seattle before going to Tulsa for the final NASL season in 1984. Schmetzer was coached by his father as a youth and his team won seven out of 10 state youth championships.

Schmetzer signed with the San Diego Sockers in 1984 and played seven sea-sons in the Major Indoor Soccer League with San Diego (1984-1988), Tacoma (1988-1990) and St. Louis (1990-1991). He was a member of San Diego’s MISL championship teams in 1985, 1986 and 1988. He returned to Seattle for the Sounders’ inaugural A-League season in 1994 before completing his playing career with the SeaDogs from 1995-1996.

In 1985, Schmetzer played on loan to FC Seattle, scoring twice in a 2-1 friendly win over Brazil’s Santos. While with Tacoma and FC Seattle, Schmetzer’s teammates included younger brothers Andy and Walter. Schmetzer has three children, Daniela, Colin and Kian.

Major League Soccer’s reigning Comeback Player of the Year, Tim Melia was a breakout performer during his sixth MLS season after previously serving as a back-up goalkeeper at Real Salt Lake (2010-11) and Chivas USA (2012-14). He ended 2015 with nine clean sheets and a 15-8-5 record in all competitions as Sporting KC made its fifth straight playoff appearance. He also made two saves in a penalty shootout win over the Philadelphia Union in the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final.

Among MLS goalkeepers, Melia finished third in 2015 with a 72.6 save percentage while also ranking in the top 10 in wins, shutouts and goals against

average. He was a six-time member of the MLSsoccer.com Team of the Week and became the first goalkeeper in MLS history to record six shutouts in his first nine league matches for a new team.

After a four-year college career with NCAA Division III program Lynn University (New York), Melia began his professional career in 2008 with the Rochester Rhinos of the USL First Division. After stints with Real Salt Lake and Chivas USA, he spent the latter half of 2014 as a League Pool Goalkeeper, earning emergency call-ups from Sporting KC, FC Dallas and D.C. United.

The No. 1 overall selection in the 2008 MLS SuperDraft has played 175 matches for the club in all competitions, recording four goals and 19 assists from the right back position.

Seventh-year veteran Ike Opara is in his fourth season as a member of Sporting KC. He enjoyed a sensational first month of the 2015 campaign, scoring two goals, leading MLS in interceptions and earning an MLS Player of the Month nomination, before suffering a season-ending Achilles rupture in April. He made his 2016 debut on April 9 in a 2-0 win against the New York Red Bulls, his first MLS appearance in nearly a year, and has featured regularly along the back line since then.

Sporting KC’s 2013 Newcomer of the Year, Opara appeared in 18 MLS matches during the club’s MLS Cup-winning campaign. He scored four goals in 2013 across all competitions and featured in three of Sporting KC’s playoff matches. A season-ending ankle injury limited him to three MLS appearances in 2014. Opara represented the United States at the U-23 level during the 2012 CONCACAF Men’s Qualifying Tournament. The San Jose Earthquakes selected him in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft as a Generation adidas signing, and he played 36 MLS matches for the team over three seasons.

Sporting KC acquired 23-year-old forward Cameron Porter from the Montreal Impact on July 12. Montreal selected Porter with the 45th overall pick in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft. He played five matches during his rookie campaign, including three games in the CONCACAF Champions League knockout stage.

Porter scored one of Montreal’s most important goals in club history on March 4, 2015, netting a 94th-minute equalizer against Mexican side CF Pachuca in the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals. His first professional tally, scored before a crowd of 38,104 at Olympic Stadium in Montreal, sent the Impact to the

semifinals and allowed the club to eventually finish runners-up in the tournament. Porter suffered an ACL tear to his left knee two weeks later and missed the remainder of the 2015 season. He made his Sporting KC debut in a 3-0 win over Seattle Sounders FC on July 24, then scored his first goal for the club in the CONCACAF Champions League on Oct. 19, a 3-1 win over Central FC.

Porter played collegiately at Princeton University from 2011-2014, recording 31 goals and 13 assists in 67 appearances. The college star led the NCAA with 15 goals during his final college season.

A seven-year MLS veteran, Seth Sinovic has started 159 of 165 appearances in all competitions since joining Sporting KC from the New England Revolution in 2011.

Sporting KC acquired 23-year-old Chilean striker Diego Rubio in March 2016 after he recorded 37 goals and 15 assists during a five-year professional stint in South America and Europe. The forward joins Sporting KC from Real Valladolid of the Spanish Segunda Division, where he made 14 appearances during the 2015-16 season. A native of Santiago, Chile, he made his Sporting KC debut on April 2 against Real Salt Lake and scored his first goal on April 27 at Vancouver. He scored the game-winner in the 109th minute of Sporting KC’s 2-1 victory over Minnesota United FC in the U.S. Open Cup Round of 32 on June 15, then opened his CONCACAF Champions League scoring account on Sept. 13 vs. Vancouver. Rubio completed his permanent transfer to Sporting KC in September.

Rubio played for 18-time Primeira Liga champion Sporting Clube de Portugal from 2011-2015, scoring 22 goals in 52 games for the club’s reserve team Sporting B. He also made 20 senior team appearances, including six in the 2011-12 UEFA Europa League as he helped the club advance to the tournament semifinals.

Rubio has earned three caps for the Chile Men’s National Team since debuting at age 18 in a friendly against Paraguay in June 2011. He appeared in two additional friendlies against France and Mexico later that year before playing eight matches at the U-20 level in 2012 and 2013, including three starts at the 2013 South American Youth Football Championship.
