MLS GAME INFORMATION
SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES SPORTING PARK, Kansas City, Kan.
August 19, 2015 (WEEK 25, MLS Game #246) 7:30 p.m. CT (KMCI-38; CSN-CA)
A pair of clubs looking for points for different reasons in the Western Conference meet when Sporting Kansas City play host to the San Jose Earthquakes on Wednesday evening at Sporting Park. Following their dramatic come-from-behind home win against Vancouver Whitecaps FC at the weekend, Sporting find themselves just three points out of the top spot in the conference with games in hand over all their closest rivals. After their 1-0 win against the Colorado Rapids to snap a six-game winless run, the Quakes sit six points out of sixth place in the West and the final playoff position. REFEREE: Jair Marrufo.

The last time a road team won in the series came all the way back in 2004, when San Jose won at Arrowhead Stadium. Last year, Sporting won 1-0 on March 22 at Sporting Park.
Sporting have an eight-game home winning streak alive vs. the Quakes. Kansas City has not won in San Jose since Aug. 16, 2000. The Quakes have won nine of the 14 meetings since in northern California, with five draws.
Coaches record: Dominic Kinnear vs. KC: P26 W9 L7 D10 … Peter Vermes vs. SJ: P8 W4 L3 D1 SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City won their second match on the trot in dramatic circumstances, coming back from a late two-goal deficit for a 4-3 win against Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Saturday evening at Sporting Park. Sporting are in third place in the Western Conference with 40 points from 22 matches. LAST MATCH
Whitecaps FC had the lead after just the ninth minute. Kekuta Manneh won the ball near midfield, eluded a tackle and set off on a 4-on-1 break. Manneh kept the ball himself, driving on goal and slotting home past Sporting goalkeeper Tim Melia. Then in the 41st minute, another giveaway gave Manneh his second goal of the night, after Steven Beitashour stripped the ball on the right flank and sent in a cross that Manneh headed home from just outside the six-yard box.
Sporting pulled a goal back in the 53rd minute, when the Whitecaps failed to clear a Benny Feilhaber corner kick and Soni Mustivar sent a looping header across the mouth of the goal, where Kevin Ellis was waiting at the far post to nod it home.
But the visitors tacked on what seemed to be a sure insurance goal in the 77th minute after a handball was called some 20 yards out from goal, and Pedro Morales sent the resulting free kick over the wall, bending it into the lower left corner of the goal.
Four minutes later, however, the KC comeback was on. Krisztian Nemeth sent in a long diagonal ball from the left wing and Dom Dwyer put a bouncing header inside the left post from just inside the six. Six minutes later, Paulo Nagamura ran onto a square pass from Chance Myers on the right and drove a low blast past Whitecaps FC goalkeeper David Ousted from just outside the penalty area.
Then in the fourth minute of stoppage time, Mustivar's high pass from the left flank found Nagamura just inside the penalty area. He flicked a looping header past Ousted and inside the post, giving SKC the dramatic win.
MLS GAME INFORMATION
SKC manager Peter Vermes made two changes to the team that defeated Toronto FC 3-1 at BMO Field. Saad Abdul-Salaam came in at fullback in place of Chance Myers, and Dom Dwyer started in attack for Jacob Peterson.
SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Tim Melia - Saad Abdul-Salaam (Chance Myers 73), Kevin Ellis, Matt Besler, Jimmy Medranda (Amadou Dia 34) - Soni Mustivar - Paulo Nagamura, Benny Feilhaber - Connor Hallisey (Jacob Peterson 46), Dom Dwyer, Krisztian Nemeth.
TEAM NEWS Sporting became the second team in MLS history to overcome a two-goal lead after the 80th minute with the
comeback win against Vancouver Whitecaps FC. On July 27, 2003, D.C. United scored three goals in stoppage to overcome a 3-1 deficit and record a 4-3 win against the New England Revolution.
“We should have the confidence to feel like we can win no matter the situation in the game. We didn’t have one of our best games. Like I said, we played one of the best teams in the conference -- arguably the best team in the league -- and we were still able to find a way to win. That says a lot about the team,” said Matt Besler.
Sporting are the final team in MLS undefeated at home this season (8-0-4). The 12-game undefeated run at home in league play – and 16 games in all competitions – is a club record.
“Credit to our guys in the second half, we made a few little adjustments. And other thing that was very evident in the second half was our fitness level. ‘Sporting fit’ took over at the end,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes. “It was harder for them to come out. Maybe two or three guys would counter, but the rest would have a hard time defensively getting out of back. It allowed us to win the ball and get back on the attack.”
Sporting also made it two wins on the trot, and three games undefeated. They still have not lost back-to-back games this season; their season-long winning run is three games, achieved twice this year.
When Paulo Nagamura scored the game-winning goal from a header, it marked just the second headed goal in his entire professional career – both coming this season. It was the second two-goal game of his 11-year MLS career, his first coming in 2009 while with Chivas USA.
“The best description I can give is he's like a pitbull. He's got a winning mentality. The guy never stops, never gives up. He's dealt with quite a few injuries this year. A lot of stuff is bad luck, but it's amazing that he can come in and play 90 minutes basically two games in a row here like he has in such a short period of time,” said Vermes. “He's a team-first guy and he's got a winning mentality. He's a really good player, all those things are givens. He's just a winner.”
Benny Feilhaber recorded an assist on the third Sporting goal, now second in MLS with 13 assists. He has a goal and/or an assist in five consecutive league games, tied for the second-longest such streak in MLS this season; he has eight goals and nine assists over the last 15 league games, dating back to April 25.
Soni Mustivar collected the first two assists of his MLS career, contributing to the first and fourth SKC goals. He had scored his first goal with the club in the Open Cup semifinal victory vs. Real Salt Lake at midweek.
“He had his best/worst performance tonight. He wasn't good on the ball. I never doubt his heart. He puts everything into every game. From that point of view, I have the utmost respect for him,” said Vermes. “[It] wasn't his game in regards to just playing with the ball and being simple. But it happens sometimes and I make mistakes and sometimes they do, too. As much as I want those guys to trust me, I have to trust them as well. He at least put the work ethic in, even if he wasn't good technically.”
Dom Dwyer netted his eighth goal of the season, his third in the last five league games. Since the start of July, Dwyer has eight goals in nine games in all competitions.
SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES The San Jose Earthquakes put an end to their winless streak after six games, getting the game’s only goal for a win against the Colorado Rapids on Friday evening at Avaya Stadium. The Quakes are in a tie for ninth place in the Western Conference with 29 points from 23 matches. LAST MATCH
The game's lone goal came in the 53rd minute. A free kick into the Rapids area wasn't cleared and Quincy Amarikwa latched onto the loose ball before scooping a cross to the far post. San Jose center back Clarence Goodson outjumped his marker and left goalkeeper Clint Irwin with no chance as he bounced his header in off the post.
Quakes goalkeeper David Bingham recorded two saves in keeping the clean sheet, relieved to see a flashing header from Rapids midfielder Dillon Powers come crashing back off the crossbar mere seconds before the game's only goal at the other end.
Quakes head coach Dominic Kinnear made four changes to the team that dropped a 2-1 decision to the Houston Dynamo at BBVA Compass Stadium. Clarence Goodson, Anibal Godoy, Sanna Nyassi and Matias Perez Garcia all came into the side, in place of Marvell Wynne, Shaun Francis, Marc Pelosi and the suspended Fatai Alashe.
MLS GAME INFORMATION
SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES (4-1-4-1): David Bingham - Cordell Cato, Victor Bernardez, Clarence Goodson, Jordan Stewart (Shaun Francis 27) - Anibal Godoy - Sanna Nyassi (Marvell Wynne 85), Chris Wondolowski, Matias Perez Garcia (Marc Pelosi 50), Shea Salinas - Quincy Amarikwa.
TEAM NEWS The Earthquakes put an end to their six-game winless skid, victorious for the first time since June 27 in the win
against the Rapids. “I'm really happy with the effort. The guys were good. A real good goal, a lot of second efforts on that part of it.
It would have been nice to have gotten a second to kind of ease the pressure on us a little bit,” said Quakes head coach Dominic Kinnear. “But yeah, any time you shut out a team it gives you a chance to win and one goal was enough for us.”
Clarence Goodson scored his second goal this season, both coming in his last six matches, his first coming vs. LA Galaxy on June 27. The two goals this year matches Goodson’s single-season career-high in MLS, also scoring two goals in 2005 with FC Dallas. Goodson returned to the lineup after missing the last two matches through injury.
“He's a smart player. He finds himself in good areas, and obviously he's dangerous when he gets going forward. So, he's a good center back. We all know that. And to have him back for this game was a big one,” said Kinnear.
Quincy Amarikwa collected an assist on the Quakes goal. Since his arrival in San Jose, Amarikwa has four goals and an assist; he’s been involved in each of San Jose’s last five goals scored, over the last seven games, the only goals scored since he joined the club.
Anibal Godoy made his Quakes debut, just hours after actually joining the club, playing the full 90 minutes in the deep-lying central midfield spot.
“At this time in the season when you bring in a player like him, or you bring in somebody new that you think can help the team, he's not here to blend in and to work his way into the game. In the conversations I had with him when we found out he signed, I told him I wanted him to play and then I had a conversation before the game and he was more than excited to get going,” said Kinnear. “So it was a pretty easy decision just depending on how he felt and he said he felt fine. And I thought he had a good game.”
Jordan Stewart moved back to left back after playing in central defense in the previous two matches. But Stewart was forced off injured before the opening half-hour was complete.
“I think the back five we had was outstanding. We went back to how we were playing at the beginning of the year. We were compact and it was very hard for them to break us down,” said goalkeeper David Bingham. “I felt Shaun [Francis] came in and showed why he is a true vet to take over for Jordan [Stewart] after he went off the field.”
Matias Perez Garcia returned to the starting lineup after a one-match absence, coming back into a central midfield role. Marc Pelosi returned to the substitutes’ bench, coming in as a replacement for the third time in the last four games, replacing Perez Garcia early in the second half when he suffered a hamstring problem.
“I thought Marc did well. He's been playing well in practice and I think he deserves his minutes … and I thought at that particular time in the game I think we needed Marc because he tackles well and makes good passes, and he was going to sit a little bit deeper and give Chris [Wondolowski] some more freedom to get forward,” said Kinnear.

Last MLS Game Earthquakes 1, Colorado Rapids 0; August 14, 2015; Avaya Stadium, San Jose, CA The San Jose Earthquakes defeated the Colorado Rapids 1-0 in front of a sold-out crowd at Avaya Stadium on Friday Night. With the win, the Quakes improved to 4-2-2 at their new venue and 5-2-3 in all home games this season. Defender Clarence Goodson tallied the lone goal in the 53rd minute, his second game-winning goal of the season. San Jose’s most recent acquisition, midfielder Anibal Godoy, made his MLS debut. The Panamanian international started and played the full 90 minutes, helping to blank their Western Conference foe. The Earthquakes also got a couple familiar faces back in the lineup, with Designated Player Matias Perez Garcia and Goodson each returning from injury. In the 22nd minute, Quakes midfielder Shea Salinas evaded several defenders on his way inside the Rapids penalty area and laid off a pass for forward Quincy Amarikwa. Amarikwa’s initial shot attempt was blocked, but his second shot forced a tough save by Colorado keeper Clint Irwin. The Earthquakes depth and versatility was tested early, as defender Jordan Stewart departed the match in just the 27th minute with a left ankle injury. Defender Shaun Francis, who started each of the past two matches, stepped in to replace him. Francis created a scoring opportunity in the 38th minute. He played a waist-high cross in front of net and Amarikwa’s glancing header went just wide of the far post. Colorado nearly took a 1-0 lead in the 52nd minute. Midfielder Dillon Powers was on the receiving end of a long ball into the box and his header caromed off the cross bar. Just one minute later, San Jose grabbed the lead on a header by Goodson. Following a free kick by Salinas, Amarikwa took possession and lofted a cross to the back post. Goodson rose to meet it and headed the ball off the post and in. It marked his second goal of the season and the fifth of his MLS career. Amarikwa tallied his second assist of the season, first with the Quakes, and has now scored or assisted on each of the team’s last five goals. Goodson’s goal proved to be the difference in the match. With the score, Goodson is now the only defender in Major League Soccer with multiple game-winning goals this season. Avaya Stadium is proving to be a fortress for the Earthquakes. Including tonight’s win over the Rapids, San Jose has now held their opponent scoreless in five of the last six MLS matches at Avaya Stadium, dating back to April 11.

Home Cooking With the victory over Colorado on Friday, San Jose improved to 5-2-3 at home this season, including a 4-2-2 record at Avaya Stadium.

He has now scored or assisted each of the Quakes last five goals.

First MLS Start On Friday, Quakes midfielder Anibal Godoy made the first MLS start of his career, playing all 90 minutes. The Panamanian international was signed on Aug. 6. Lock Down Defense at Home San Jose’s defense has been stellar at Avaya Stadium this season, allowing a total of four goals in eight MLS matches. With their clean sheet against Colorado on August 14, the Quakes have now shut out their opponents in five of their last six matches at their new venue [W 1-0 vs. VAN (4/11); W 2-0 vs. CLB (5/16); D 0-0 vs. DAL (6/7); D 0-0 vs. POR (8/2); W 1-0 vs. COL (8/14)].
