A pair of clubs in heart of the chase for playoff positions in the Western Conference meet for the first time this season when Vancouver Whitecaps FC play host to Sporting Kansas City on Sunday evening at BC Place.

VANCOUVER WHITECAPS FC Vancouver Whitecaps FC had their winning run put to an end after three games to conclude their road swing, falling 2-1 to the Colorado Rapids on Saturday evening at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Whitecaps FC are in a tie for first place in the Western Conference with 32 points from 19 matches. LAST MATCH

The Rapids were ahead just two minutes into the match. Luis Solignac attacked down the left flank and sent in a cross for Vicente Sanchez to finish with a chip shot from inside the area.

Whitecaps FC pulled even after 20 minutes. An acrobatic play at the endline in the right corner by Mauro Rosales kept the ball in play, and he sent a looping cross to the far post which fell to the feet of Kekuta Manneh, who tapped it in from on the doorstep of the goal.

The eventual winner came 11 minutes into the second half. On a delivery from Lucas Pittinari, Kevin Doyle powered a header toward goal from the heart of the area which deflected off the base of the right post and past 'Caps goalkeeper David Ousted.

Whitecaps FC head coach Carl Robinson made three changes to the team that defeated the New England Revolution 2-1 at Gillette Stadium. Kendall Waston came back from suspension for Tim Parker, Gershon Koffie came back from suspension for Matias Laba, and Darren Mattocks came in up top in place of Octavio Rivero.

VANCOUVER WHITECAPS FC (4-2-3-1): David Ousted - Steven Beitashour, Kendall Waston, Pa-Modou Kah (Diego Rodriguez 28), Jordan Harvey - Deybi Flores, Gershon Koffie - Cristian Techera (Nicolas Mezquida 67), Mauro Rosales, Kekuta Manneh - Darren Mattocks (Octavio Rivero 67).

TEAM NEWS Whitecaps FC concluded their five-game road swing with three wins and two losses, a three-game winning

streak put to an end in the defeat at Colorado. “You get greedy in football once you win a game – then the second game you look as a bonus game, but you

feel you can win it. We've come off the back of three wins and we tried to be greedy [vs. Colorado],” said

MLS GAME INFORMATION

Whitecaps FC head coach Carl Robinson. “We felt we could have and if we'd played to our levels, we should have won. We know Colorado's a difficult team. They've had things go against them recently, but we let them off the hook.”

Whitecaps FC also allowed two goals after allowing just two total over the previous three matches. The ‘Caps have not allowed more than two goals in any game since the 3-1 defeat by Toronto FC to start the season March 7 at BC Place.

"We did play some good football, but there's no point in playing good football if you switch off and don't do the basics in defending," Robinson said. "You can analyze both goals, and individuals didn't do their jobs and their roles and responsibilities, which is why today we're walking away with nothing."

Kekuta Manneh scored the Vancouver goal, his third goal in the last four games. Manneh now has four goals this season, matching his league total of a year ago, two shy of the six goals he scored in his rookie campaign in 2013.

Mauro Rosales collected his first assist of the season, and has four in 23 league appearances with Whitecaps FC since arriving partway through last season. Rosales had 11 assists in 2014, split between Seattle and Vancouver.

Steven Beitashour was credited with his fourth assist of the season, his second in the last three matches. The four assists are the most Beitashour has had in a season since recording six in 2012 with San Jose.

“We're obviously disappointed that we didn't pick up anything from the game,” Robinson said. “I think if you look at it overall, the 90 minutes, there were a number of players who performed to their levels, there were a number of players that dropped their levels slightly. They took two chances, we took one.”

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City returned to their winning ways last time out, defeating the Colorado Rapids 2-0 on June 27 at Sporting Park. Sporting are in fifth place in the Western Conference with 24 points from 15 matches. LAST MATCH

Sporting hit for the opener in the 32nd minute. Right back Chance Myers got down the line on the overlap and sent in a low cross for Krisztian Nemeth, who drove the ball past a sprawling Clint Irwin and just inside the post.

The lead was doubled in the 64th minute. Benny Feilhaber sent in a long cross from the right flank from a short corner, but as the ball bobbled around near the goal, it went off Rapids midfielder Sam Cronin and past Irwin for an own goal.

SKC manager Peter Vermes made two changes to the team that fell 2-1 to Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium. Chance Myers and Marcel de Jong came into the back four in place of Jalil Anibaba and Amadou Dia.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Tim Melia - Chance Myers (Amadou Dia 90), Kevin Ellis, Matt Besler, Marcel de Jong (Saad Abdul-Salaam 78) - Soni Mustivar - Benny Feilhaber, Roger Espinoza - Graham Zusi, Dom Dwyer, Krisztian Nemeth (Jacob Peterson 71).

TEAM NEWS Sporting Kansas City has not lost back-to-back games this season; they have lost just once over their last nine

games, dating back to April 25. “I think our style of play is a little more evolved and I think that's what has been able to get us the kind of results

we're getting right now. Especially when teams try to sit back, we have a lot of dangerous guys, a lot of ways to break them down,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes. “We're finding ways, whether it's through the run of play or also set pieces to score goals. You have to be dangerous in all the parts of the game, especially when you're going to goal. … When you look at the combination of those things and the evolution of our style of play and the intelligence of the players that we have, it starts to yield the kind of results that we're looking for, especially here at home.”

SKC won a fifth consecutive home game in the victory against Colorado, two wins shy of the club’s all-time record for a home winning streak set twice previously (1998 and 2000). They extended their home undefeated streak to nine matches (6-0-3 this season), one game shy of the club’s all-time record, set in 2008.

“What I don't think a lot of other people take into account, when other teams come here to play, they're excited about playing here,” said Vermes. “What happens is, over time, the intensity and pace of the game, it's very hard for them to stay up with it because the fans aren't there for them. They just feel the energy at the beginning, and then what takes over is our team, and the crowd just gets louder and louder as the game goes on. Next thing you know we just overpower them.”

Benny Feilhaber recorded an assist in the Colorado match, his ninth of the season, now second in MLS. Feilhaber has two goals and two assists over the last four games, with either a goal or an assist in each one.

Krisztian Nemeth scored his seventh goal of the season, his first since May 29, and is one of seven players tied for seventh in the MLS Golden Boot standings. Nemeth has taken seven shots on target this season and scored on each – the first player in MLS history to score on his first seven attempts on target over the course of a single season.

MLS GAME INFORMATION

Said Rapids head coach Pablo Mastroeni: “If you give that guy an inch of room he scores, and that for me was the defining moment of the game. He’s one of those guys that doesn’t have to be involved for 90-plus minutes. He picks and chooses his moment, and when he strikes he’s very good. To be fair, he reminds of Landon (Donovan) – the ability to really find the corner with pace and trajectory from the service he uses. He’s really dynamic and clinical.”

Making his first league appearance of the season after his 2014 season was cut short in May with an Achilles tendon rupture, Chance Myers came into the back four at right back – and set up the Nemeth goal.

“He suffered a serious injury,” Vermes said. “For him to be back and be playing at the level he's playing at this point, it's tremendous. I'm very happy to see the way that he's playing for him and, more importantly, for the club. He's a big part of the success we've had and will continue to have in the future.”

Following the league victory, Sporting roared into the U.S. Open Cup quarterfinals with a 6-2 victory against FC Dallas in their fifth-round tie. Dom Dwyer scored four goals for SKC – three in the first half – and Krisztian Nemeth added the other two.

Here’s the SKC team: Tim Melia, Jalil Anibaba, Kevin Ellis, Matt Besler, Amadou Dia, Benny Feilhaber (Paulo Nagamura 62), Soni Mustivar, Roger Espinoza, Jacob Peterson (Saad Abdul-Salaam 50), Dom Dwyer, Krisztian Nemeth (Connor Hallisey 75).

“I’ve wanted a hat trick for this club for a while, so I’m very happy to get one,” Dwyer said. “And I got an extra one, and I finally scored a free kick. So that was good.”

ABOUT WHITECAPS FC In 1974, Vancouver Whitecaps FC played their inaugural season in the North American Soccer League, and in 1979, the club won the NASL Soccer Bowl championship. Following the demise of the NASL in 1984, Vancouver 86ers were founded in 1986, and from 1987 to 1992, the club won four Canadian Soccer League titles. In 1993, Vancouver joined the North American second division after the disbandment of the CSL. In 2001, the club reverted back to the Whitecaps and the following season added FC to their official name, while creating a full club model that including an extensive youth development and grassroots participation programs, facility development, and community relations to support specific initiatives related to health and wellness through soccer. Whitecaps FC were the 17th club admitted to MLS on March 18, 2009, and on March 19, 2011, Vancouver kicked off their inaugural year in MLS at Empire Field before moving into the renovated BC Place in downtown Vancouver.

In 2012, the Blue & White made history by becoming the first Canadian MLS club to qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs and returned to the postseason last year. In addition to qualifying for the MLS Cup Playoffs in two of four seasons, the ’Caps have won back-to-back Cascadia Cup titles in 2013 and 2014. 2015 is Vancouver’s 41st season of professional soccer, and 29th consecutive season.

MATCH NOTES HEAD-TO-HEAD Vancouver Whitecaps FC hold an all-time record of 1W-2L-2D, including a 1W-1L-1D record at home, against Sporting Kansas City. This is the first of two meetings between the two sides this year. LAST MEETING Whitecaps FC defeated then-defending MLS Cup champions Sporting KC 2-0 in their last meeting on August 10, 2014, at BC Place. On 17 minutes, a dangerous ball up field from midfielder Pedro Morales caught SKC defender Igor Juliao out of sorts, leaving him to head it past goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum and into the net for an own goal and a 1-0 lead for Whitecaps FC. In the 39th minute, after picking up the ball at midfield, Morales cut past his defender and fed striker Darren Mattocks on a clear breakaway, which was promptly finished for a 2-0 lead. It was Morales’ ninth assist of the year, tying the WFC MLS club record for assists in a season. ‘CAPS BOUNCING BACK STRONG The ’Caps are 4W-1L-1D this season when coming off a loss on their previous match. The only occasions they did not follow a loss with a win was at Portland Timbers on May 2, where they earned a tough scoreless draw on the road, and May 23 when they lost 1-0 at Colorado Rapids. Also, since the beginning of 2014, WFC are 8W-2L-4D on their first home match after a road trip. THREE-PEAT FOR OUSTED Goalkeeper David “The Great Dane” Ousted has won three consecutive Save of the Weeks. Ousted was also named MLS Player of the Month for June. 2015 GOLD CUP UPDATE Midfielder Russell Teibert and striker Darren Mattocks are away for the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup. Teibert and Sporting Kansas City defender Marcel de Jong are teammates on the Canadian national team, while Mattocks is lacing up for Jamaica. The two national sides are together in Group B.

On Wednesday in StubHub Center, Teibert came in as an 82nd-minute substitute and helped Canada preserve a scoreless draw with El Salvador. In the earlier match, Mattocks and Jamaica earned a point when they tied Costa Rica 2-2. Mattocks entered the match in the 60th minute. Canada and Jamaica play each other on Saturday. The earliest Teibert and Mattocks will be back with WFC is on July 18 at Portland Timbers, depending on how far Canada and Jamaica advance in the tournament. SIGNING SEASON Major League Soccer’s secondary transfer window, which allows teams to both acquire players currently under contract in another country and make trades within MLS, opened on Wednesday. Does Robinson expect the ‘Caps to be busy? “We’re always looking and I think every team will do that,” he said. “Will we be signing an Andrea Pirlo? Probably not, no. But we’re always looking to try and add. I’m very content with the group we’ve got. There’s a great spirit in amongst them. If someone becomes available that I think would add to that, not harm or hurt that, then I’ll look to add it. And I can do because there are things on the table that I can maybe look at, but I’m in no rush. We’re okay at the moment.” TARGETED ALLOCATION MONEY Another thing Robinson has to ponder this year is the league’s new “Targeted Allocation” mechanism, which provides all MLS clubs up to $500,000 in additional allocation money to invest in their rosters outside of the player salary budget. This allows teams to acquire or re-sign players to a salary higher than the league max ($436,250) – without actually exceeding the allocated three Designated Player slots. Alternatively, teams can use the new mechanism to convert a Designated Player (DP) into a non-DP by “buying down,” which would free up another DP slot. The ‘Caps are currently at the DP max with Matias Laba, Pedro Morales, and Octavio Rivero.

Another SKC defender, #15 Seth Sinovic, was selected by New England Revolution as the 25th chosen player in the same draft. WFC midfielder #31 Russell Teibert represented Canada internationally at the 2012 CONCACAF Men’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament alongside Opara, who was playing for the United States. The two sides clashed and Canada topped the U.S. 2-0, helping the Canadians advance to the semifinals SKC striker #37 Jacob Peterson played for Toronto FC with WFC head coach Carl Robinson during the 2010 season. Robinson also made another connection playing for Toronto FC alongside SKC midfielder #6 Paulo Nagamura, who made four appearances for TFC during the 2007 campaign. Peterson was also a teammate with Beitashour when they both played for San Jose during the 2011 season. Before his stints with Toronto and San Jose, Peterson played with Colorado Rapids from 2006 to 2009, all of those years alongside WFC defender #2 Jordan Harvey. Harvey played for the UCLA Bruins, as did Kansas City defender #7 Chance Myers and midfielder #10 Benny

Feilhaber. Harvey made 69 appearances from 2002-05, Myers made 42 appearances for the Bruins from 2006-07, and Feilhaber 36 appearances from 2003-04.

SKC goalkeeper #29 Tim Melia and WFC midfielder #7 Mauro Rosales were teammates on Chivas USA in 2014. SKC defender #17 Saad Abdul-Salaam and WFC striker #11 Darren Mattocks just missed each other at the University of Akron. Mattocks was in Northeast Ohio from 2010-11, while Abdul-Salaam suited up for the Zips from 2012-14. Morales and SKC midfielder #16 Servando Carrasco were teammates for three years with Seattle Sounders FC from 2011-13.
