COLUMBUS CREW vs SPORTING KANSAS CITY COLUMBUS CREW STADIUM, Columbus, Ohio

October 7, 2012 (WEEK 31, MLS Game #301) 4 p.m. ET (FS-OH; KSMO) A massive match in the Eastern Conference playoff race is ahead on Sunday afternoon when the Columbus Crew play host to Sporting Kansas City at Crew Stadium. The Crew come into the match outside the top five in the division and the playoff spots, but trail Houston by just a single point following their late 3-2 win against Philadelphia last weekend. Sporting became the first East team to claim a berth in the MLS Cup Playoffs with their 2-0 home win against Chicago last Friday night. REFEREE: Mark Geiger.

The teams have split their first two meetings this season, each winning on the other’s home ground. Goals from Jacob Peterson and Teal Bunbury gave Sporting a 2-0 win July 14 at Crew Stadium, then Jairo Arrieta scored twice in the 2-1 Columbus win two weeks later at Kansas City.

Sporting won, 2-1, in the first meeting at Livestrong Sporting Park last Sept. 28 – ending a three-year Columbus winning streak in K.C (all three meetings ever at CommunityAmerica Ballpark).

Coaches record: Peter Vermes vs. CLB: P6 W3 L3 T0 … Robert Warzycha vs. KC: P10 W7 L3 T0 LAST MEETING

The home side opened the scoring in the eighth minute on a textbook set piece. Graham Zusi sent in a long free kick, and Kei Kamara leaped and headed it past Andy Gruenebaum from the center of the box.

But the Crew equalized in the 17th minute through new arrival Jairo Arrieta after a nice through ball from Josh Williams. Arrieta took the pass in the penalty area, shrugged off Lawrence Olum’s attempted tackle and fired past Jimmy Nielsen from 12 yards.

Then in the 34th minute, Arrieta corralled Zusi’s errant back pass in space in Columbus’ attacking third and sent a blast in from distance to make it 2-1.

MLS GAME INFORMATION

COLUMBUS CREW The Columbus Crew came back for a crucial victory in the playoff hunt, scoring a late goal for a 3-2 win against Philadelphia Union on Saturday evening at Crew Stadium. The Crew remain in sixth place in the Eastern Conference with 48 points from 31 games, one point behind fifth-place Houston. LAST MATCH

The Crew were ahead at halftime thanks to a pair of quick goals late in the opening stanza, both from Jairo Arrieta. First, in the 45th minute, Arrieta got on the end of a drilled cross from right back Sebastián Miranda, chested the ball to the ground six yards left of goal and finished neatly.

Then, five minutes into stoppage time, a long goal kick from Crew goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum was misjudged by the Union defense and Arrieta quick to gather it at the top of the penalty area before unleashing another left-footed shot that went past Union goalkeeper Zac MacMath.

Union pulled a goal back in the 65th minute when Danny Cruz converted a penalty kick awarded after Gruenebaum took down substitute Antoine Hoppenot. Then another Union substitute, Jack McInerney, got on the end of a pass from fellow second-half addition Roger Torres in the 86th minute to tie the score, sticking his foot out and pushing the ball inside the left post.

But barely a minute later, the Crew hit for the winner. After the ball pinged around the Union penalty area, a sliding pass from Josh Williams found Milovan Mirosevic in front of goal and he slotted home, and despite a hint of offside, the goal stood for the late winner.

Crew head coach Robert Warzycha made one change to the team that saw the Chicago Fire come back for a 2-1 win at Toyota Park. Chris Birchall came into the midfield for Emilio Renteria.

COLUMBUS CREW (4-2-3-1): Andy Gruenebaum - Sebastian Miranda, Chad Marshall, Julius James (Eric Gehrig 80), Josh Williams - Danny O'Rourke, Milovan Mirosevic - Chris Birchall, Federico Higuain, Eddie Gaven (Justin Meram 86) - Jairo Arrieta (Emilio Renteria 66).

TEAM NEWS The win was the fifth in a row at Crew Stadium for Columbus, and extended their current home unbeaten streak

to seven games. Two of their final three games will be at Crew Stadium. “I think we responded pretty quickly and that was the key. Giving up two goals like that in the second half is not

something we usually do, but it was a very important game for us and for Philadelphia obviously,” said Crew head coach Robert Warzycha. “We knew a loss for them would have been the end of the playoffs, and sometimes there are games like this. It was a battle on the field.”

Said goalscorer Milovan Mirosevic: “Maybe if the game finishes like that, we’re out of the playoffs already. We have to be more careful.”

With the full three points, the Crew maintained contact with the Houston Dynamo in the chase for fifth place in the Eastern Conference. The Dynamo still lead the Crew by one point with three games remaining for both teams.

“We're not going to be safe and secure until we take care of our business each and every game and control our own destiny,” said goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum. “We took a big step tonight. Obviously, giving up two goals to tie the game isn't acceptable at home, and we're going to have to work that out. A win is a win, and we'll take it and we'll move on.”

Jairo Arrieta recorded his third two-goal game since coming to MLS. Arrieta has a goal or an assist over the last four games, with three goals and two assists in that stretch.

“I think he was very effective. He scored two goals in the first half and had another chance in the second half. We debated whether or not to take him off. He was limping more and more and we had fresh guys on the bench, so we decided to put them on the field,” said Warzycha.

For a second consecutive match and the fourth time in the last five games, the Crew allowed multiple goals in a game. They are 2-3-0 in that stretch.

“You look at the win first, but there’s definitely stuff we need to sort out,” center back Chad Marshall said. “We didn’t play well in the second half. You don’t want to give up a two-goal lead for sure.” Added Josh Williams: “The first half of the year we were one of the tops in goal against. It seems like we’ve been on a constant slide here. This week we’ll work to shore up the back line.”

Both assists the Crew recorded came from fullbacks – Sebastian Miranda on the opener, Williams on the winner.

“I think it's natural for players to go forward. We don't stop them from doing it. On the last play I think we were desperate, because we needed to push forward as far as we could. We had to push for the goal, we only had four minutes, and we didn't know there were going to be six minutes of extra time,” said Warzycha. “I’m happy that [Josh Williams] went forward. That’s not something we designed for the game. If there is space to move forward, we ask for the defender to do that every single time.”

With Dilly Duka held out of the team because of a calf injury, Chris Birchall made his first start in four games, since Sept. 15, on the right side of midfield.

MLS GAME INFORMATION

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City clinched their berth in the MLS Cup Playoffs, defeating the Chicago Fire 2-0 on Friday evening at Livestrong Sporting Park. Sporting are in first place in the Eastern Conference, with 58 points from 31 matches. LAST MATCH

Sporting took the lead in the 11th minute. Kei Kamara sent a cross into the penalty area from the right corner, and Graham Zusi, crossing from the left side, one-timed the ball into the lower right corner.

The Fire went a man down when left back Gonzalo Segares drew his second yellow, and Chicago manager Frank Klopas was also shown a straight red by referee Chris Penso.

Zusi applied the coup de grace six minutes into second-half stoppage time. As Chicago pushed up in search of the equalizer, he juked his way into position, then fired just inside the right post from the top of the area.

Sporting KC goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen had to make just one save all night, an easy stop of Dominic Oduro's set-piece header in the 68th minute.

Sporting head coach Peter Vermes made three changes to the team that gained a scoreless draw with the Montréal Impact at Stade Saputo. Chance Myers came into the back four for Michael Harrington, and Paulo Nagamura and Roger Espinoza entered the side in place of Oriol Rosell and Jacob Peterson.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-3-3): Jimmy Nielsen - Chance Myers, Lawrence Olum, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic – Paulo Nagamura, Julio Cesar, Roger Espinoza - Kei Kamara, C.J. Sapong, Graham Zusi.

TEAM NEWS Sporting maintained their advantage atop the Eastern Conference table and homefield advantage throughout

the MLS Cup Playoffs in the East, and also maintained contact with the San Jose Earthquakes in the bid for the Supporters’ Shield and the chance to host MLS Cup.

“Every time we're put in a position where we've had to get certain results, we've done a really good job of getting them,” KC manager Peter Vermes said. “I like our style. I like the fact that we're locked in. I like the fact that no matter who we put in there or take out, those guys all have a connection to the game. The performances have been good, but the results are what we've been very good at getting at the right times.”

Sporting have not allowed a goal in three consecutive games, extended their current undefeated run to nine league games in the win, 10 in all competitions (including the win in the U.S. Open Cup Final).

“We have the least amount of goals scored against us in the league and that’s a commitment to the way that the guys will compete for every role on the field. You can say that, but it’s another thing to do that, and you can watch the guys, they really do that,” said Vermes. “It’s not just at home, but it’s also away and that’s a great attribute for a team to have, especially when you’re going into the end of the season and into playoffs.”

It was the 14th shutout for goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen, tied for the second-highest single season total in MLS history (KC’s Tony Meola had 16 in 2000).

“This is one of those games again where I absolutely cannot take any credit for the shutout,” said Nielsen. “We did an awesome job defensively, and I thought we were very smart with the ball.”

Graham Zusi hit for his second career two-goal game, his first having come last Aug. 17 vs. Portland. Zusi is still tied for the MLS lead with 14 assists with LA’s Landon Donovan.

Zusi has two goals and two assists over the last five games, and has been involved with a goal or an assist in nine of SKC’s last 13 goals.

“The great thing about this team is anyone can take the spotlight at any time,” said forward Kei Kamara. “We took the pressure off each other tonight. With Zusi being known as somebody who usually sets things up for us, [the other team] doesn’t always expect him to score goals. But he’s a great finisher.”

Though he was available, center back Aurelien Collin was held out of the team, his spot in central defense filled by Lawrence Olum for a second consecutive match.

“[Olum’s] biggest contribution to the game for us all the time is his reading of the game defensively and his ability to plug the holes, and then he has the other added benefit which is he’s fantastic on the field, whether it’s in the middle of the field or on set pieces and he was very good defensively for us for sure,” Vermes said. “I like the way he played so we continued with the same thing, and obviously another shutout, so he’s doing well.

Said Nielsen: “He's very calm with the ball. Never panics. He's very good playing the ball out of the back, he's very good in the back. It's a very, very good situation for a coach to have three good center backs. He proves, every time he gets thrown in there, that he can handle this level easily.”

TODAY’S MATCHThe Columbus Crew welcomes Eastern Conference leader Sporting Kansas Cit, today, in another crucial match for the playoff race. The Black & Gold looks to extend its home unbeaten streak to eight games with a playoff spot on the line.

It is “Boot Breast Cancer” night presented by OhioHealth and the Crew will join MLS W.O.R.K.S., Major League Soccer’s community outreach initiative, and its partners, in raising awareness for cancer research. The first 10,000 fans through the gates will receive a pink rally towel courtesy of OhioHealth and there will be a human ribbon on the field at half time.

In addition Crew jerseys will feature a pink MLS W.O.R.K.S. ribbon patch and several players will wear pink wristbands and shoe laces. The match will be played with a commemorative pink adidas PRIME match ball while players will use pink sideline towels provided by Gatorade.

The match comes on the heels of the thrilling 3-2 win over Philadelphia, last Saturday, Sept. 29, in which Jairo Arrieta recorded his third two-goal performance of the season and Milovan Mirosevic notched a late game-win-ner, keeping the Crew alive in the playoff race.

This is the third and final regular season meeting between the clubs. The Black & Gold succumbed to Kansas City 2-0 on July 14 at Crew Stadium, and defeated Sporting KC 2-1 at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park two weeks later, with another brace by Arrieta. The Crew owns the all-time regular season advantage with a 21-19-5 re-cord (12-9-3 at home).

Since meeting the Crew last July, Sporting KC has continued to excel, going undefeated while posting a 6-0-3 record in that time. More notably, Sporting has won the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, defeating three-time cham-pion Seattle Sounders 3-2 in a penalty shootout.

Sporting KC is led by former Crew forward Kei Kamara, who has 11 goals on the season. Fans will also recog-nize Honduran International Roger Espinoza, who helped the Ohio State Buckeyes reach the 2007 NCAA Men’s College Cup final, losing to Wake Forest University 2-1.

Next, the Crew returns to action Saturday, Oct. 20, as it travels to RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C., to face D.C. United at 7:30 p.m., after a bye week to allow for international fixtures. The Black & Gold will return home for Fan Appreciation Day and African Heritage Day, on Sunday, Oct. 28, as it hosts Toronto FC in the final match of the regular season at 4 p.m.

Sporting KC then went on the road and earned a tie at CenturyLink Field against Western Conference foe Seattle Sounders.

lamar huNt u.s. oPeN CuP ChamPIoNs | Sporting Kansas City was crowned the LamarHuntU.S.OpenCupChampions for the first time since2004 after beating the Seattle Sounders FC at LIVEstroNG Sporting Park 3-2 in penalty kicks after a 1-1 draw in regulation.

Sporting KC took the lead on a Kei Kamara penalty kick in the 84th minute after a hand ball by Zach Scott. The goal marked Kamara’s second goal in U.S. Open Cup competition since joining Kansas City. Just two minutes later, Seattle’s Scott got a bit of redemption when he notched the equalizer off a free kick from Rosales.

Aftertwoovertimeperiodsthematchwasstilltiedandheadedtoabest-of-fiveshootout.SportingKC,shootingfirst,beganwithKamara’ssecondsuccessfulattempt of the night. The Sounders would match it with a make of their own through Brad Evans’ shot to his left.

Gspurning gave his team the advantage with a stop on Espinoza and Seattle momentarily led following Marc Burch’s blast down the middle. Besler pulled Sporting KC back level with a shot off the underside of the crossbar and into the back of the net.

Alonso and Zusi both sent their shots over the crossbar in back-to-back at-tempts, and Nielsen made a superb save to his left to deny Christian Tiffert to sendittothefifthandfinalpenaltykickwithitalltobedecided.

Nagamura’s initial attempt was saved by Gspurning, but he was ruled to have come off his line early and the Brazilian calmly converted the ensuing second chance to his left to put Sporting KC ahead in dramatic fashion.

Johnson walked to the spot with LIVEstroNG Sporting Park in a frenzy, need-ingtoscoretokeepSeattlealive.BackinKansasCityforthefirsttimesinceheplayed with the then-Wizards in 2007, Johnson’s shot sailed over the crossbar and brought an end to the shootout with Seattle’s third straight miss from the mark.

Prior to the shootout loss, the Sounders had won three straight U.S. Open Cups, and had not been bested in the competition since August 12, 2008, when they were still a United Soccer League franchise.

wheN they last met | Sporting Kansas City and the Columbus Crew last met at LIVEstroNG Sporting Park on July 28.

The Crew tied it up just nine minutes later when Jairo Arrieta slotted the ball past Jimmy Nielsen after a perfectly placed through ball from Josh Williams. In the 34th minute Arrieta handed the Crew the lead with a well-struck shot from 30 yards out.
