SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs HOUSTON DYNAMO SPORTING PARK, Kansas City, Kan.

August 1, 2015 (WEEK 22, MLS Game #220) 7:30 p.m. CT (KMCI-38; ROOT-SW)

A critical match in the chase for playoff positioning kicks off when Sporting Kansas City return home to take on the Houston Dynamo on Saturday at Sporting Park. Sporting lost for just the second time in three months last time out, falling 2-1 at Real Salt Lake, and now sit just a point ahead of sixth place in the division. The Dynamo are five points out of sixth and the final postseason position, coming off a dominant 3-0 win against the LA Galaxy at BBVA Compass Stadium last weekend. REFEREE: Jorge Gonzalez.

The teams are meeting for the second time this season. Benny Feilhaber scored two goals for Sporting KC, the second deep into second-half added time, to leave the teams in a wild 4-4 draw April 25 at BBVA Compass Stadium.

The home team has not won in the series in the last five meetings. Each team won at the other’s home ground in the two matchups a season ago. Sporting won 2-0 at BBVA Compass Stadium on June 6, then the Dynamo returned the favor with a 3-1 victory Aug. 29 at Sporting Park.

The teams met three consecutive seasons in the MLS Cup Playoffs from 2011-13, the Dynamo advancing in the first two meetings before SKC triumphed in the last. The 2011 and 2013 meetings were for the Eastern Conference Championship; both clubs find themselves in the Western Conference beginning this season.

Coaches record: Peter Vermes vs. HOU: P14 W4 L3 D7 … Owen Coyle vs. KC: P1 W0 L0 D0 LAST MEETING (MLS) 4/25: HOU 4, KC 4 (Barnes 11, 46; Bruin 46+; R. Rodriguez 83 – Nemeth 2; Dwyer 74; Feilhaber 80, 95+)

Sporting took the lead just three minutes into the game when Krisztian Nemeth picked up a loose ball and charged toward goal, firing home inside the right post from 25 yards out.

But the Dynamo had a 3-1 lead by just after halftime. First, a scuffed clearance landed in the path of Giles Barnes, and he sliced a half-volley past SKC goalkeeper Luis Marin to pull the game level in the 11th minute.

The Dynamo took the lead in first-half stoppage time when Will Bruin scored with a flick off the back of his head from a Brad Davis pinpoint corner kick. Then Barnes struck again less than a minute into the second half, driving up field and taking a shot from some 22 yards out that beat Marin to his right post.

But Sporting pulled level with goals in short order. First, in the 74th minute, Dom Dwyer pounced on an ill-advised back pass and slotted a shot into the open net after rounding Deric in the box. Then six minutes later, Benny Feilhaber converted a penalty after Dynamo defender Jermaine Taylor was ruled to have handled a Nemeth attempt on goal and referee Kevin Stott pointed to the spot.

The Dynamo again nosed in front in the 84th minute when Raul Rodriguez rushed the near post to head home a Davis free kick. But Feilhaber had the final answer deep in stoppage time, scoring his second of the night by driving home a shot from distance that sailed inside the left post.

HOUSTON DYNAMO (4-4-2): Tyler Deric - Kofi Sarkodie, Raul Rodriguez, Jermaine Taylor (ejected 79), DaMarcus Beasley - Alexander Lopez (David Horst 80), Ricardo Clark, Nathan Sturgis (Luis Garrido 84), Brad Davis - Giles Barnes, Will Bruin (Chandler Hoffman 70).

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City saw their winning streak put to an end after three games, falling 2-1 to Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium. Sporting are in fourth place in the Western Conference with 33 points from 19 matches. LAST MATCH

Real took the lead in the 34th minute. From a long ball, Sebastian Jaime headed it in front of a streaking Morales. He took the ball off his chest, then weaved his way through three Kansas City defenders before slotting home for the game's opening goal.

Sporting pulled level just five minutes into the second half. Benny Feilhaber launched a breathtaking strike from almost 30 yards out, creating some space before blasted a long, looping ball that dipped into the side netting.

The winner came 17 minutes from the end. Olmes Garcia made a blistering 60-yard run into the box, touching the ball past goalkeeper Tim Melia before being taken down by the Sporting goalkeeper. Referee Allen Chapman pointed to the spot, and it was Plata who stepped up, placing his shot low and to the right of Melia.

SKC manager Peter Vermes made three changes to the team that defeated the Montréal Impact 2-1 at Sporting Park. Erik Palmer-Brown and Marcel de Jong came into the back four for Kevin Ellis and Amadou Dia, and Paulo Nagamura started in midfield in place of Benny Feilhaber.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Tim Melia - Saad Abdul-Salaam, Erik Palmer-Brown, Matt Besler, Marcel de Jong (Amadou Dia 46) - Soni Mustivar - Paulo Nagamura (Benny Feilhaber 46), Roger Espinoza - Jacob Peterson (Connor Hallisey 79), Dom Dwyer, Krisztian Nemeth.

TEAM NEWS Sporting saw their season-long three-game league winning streak put to an end in the defeat by Real Salt Lake.

It was just SKC’s second defeat in their last 15 games in all competitions dating back to April 25. “We were running on fumes coming in, with three games in seven days. I thought they had a good first half, I

thought we had a good second half. We had a couple of good chances in the second half that we probably should’ve put away one of them,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes. “They had more energy than we did just based on the fact of three games in seven days. It was tough for us.”

Benny Feilhaber scored for a second consecutive game, with two goals and an assist in those contests. He has a part in each of Sporting’s last three goals. Over his last seven games in league play, dating back to May 29, Feilhaber has four goals and three assists.

“I thought he was impactful. He brought a spark to the team,” said Vermes. “It was good because there’s no way he could’ve played 90 [minutes]. I didn’t want to push him for 90 [minutes]. There were a couple other guys I wanted to change but some other things determine different subs. But he came in and had a good impact in the game. He’s calm on the ball and he was good for us.”

Said defender Matt Besler: “He’s playing with a lot of confidence right now, I mean the shot was an unbelievable goal. It’s great when you have a guy like that playing on your team and hopefully he can keep his form up.”

Roger Espinoza recorded an assist for a second consecutive match, his first assists since May 9. He now has four assists on the year, to go with one goal.

Erik Palmer-Brown made his first start since May 9, coming into central defense and playing the full 90 minutes. Paulo Nagamura made his first start since May 20, coming into the midfield before being taken off at halftime.

Nagamura did come off the substitutes’ bench the week before. Marcel de Jong was also making his first start in three matches, coming in at left back before leaving for a

substitute. HOUSTON DYNAMO The Houston Dynamo rebounded from a loss, defeating the LA Galaxy 3-0 on Saturday evening at BBVA Compass Stadium. The Dynamo are in eighth place in the Western Conference with 27 points from 21 matches. LAST MATCH

The Dynamo took the lead in the ninth minute. Brad Davis pushed up the left flank and sent a hopeful low ball across the box, where Will Bruin was able to control and curl a finish around goalkeeper Brian Rowe.

The Dynamo doubled the lead in the 27th minute. Nathan Sturgis weaved through the LA defense and laid the ball off for Davis, and he drove a low left-footed shot from 22 yards past Lowe for the 2-0 lead.

In the 88th minute, Leonel Miranda played keep-away in the box before cutting back at the edge of the box and lofting a shot into the top corner to clinch the win.

Dynamo head coach Owen Coyle made three changes to the team that fell 2-0 to Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium. Sheanon Williams and A.J. Cochran came into the back four for Taylor Hunter and the suspended Kofi Sarkodie, and Leonel Miranda started out wide in place of Alexander Lopez.

HOUSTON DYNAMO (4-4-1-1): Tyler Deric - Sheanon Williams, David Horst, Raul Rodriguez, A.J. Cochran - Leonel Miranda, Nathan Sturgis, Ricardo Clark (Zach Steinberger 90), Alex (Rasheed Olabiyi 87) - Brad Davis - Will Bruin (Erick Torres 69).


TEAM NEWS The Dynamo have won back-to-back games at BBVA Compass Stadium, extending their home undefeated

streak to five games dating back to May 5. “When we're at our maximum, we're capable of beating anybody in the league and we showed that. I've said

before and I said it to the players after the game – the key to us moving forward is the consistency,” said Dynamo head coach Owen Coyle. “I mean we're missing eight players … it was important that we show everybody the qualities that the Dynamo have and we did – we scored three, I'd say we could've done five or six.”

“You can't play great and then play awful, play great and then play awful. We're certainly not where we want to be right now,” said Will Bruin. “But what we've done is in the past. All we can control is every game, week in, week out, and if we play like that, then I think we're going to be looking at making a run for the playoffs come October.”

Will Bruin scored his ninth goal of the season, the third-highest single-season total of his MLS career and three shy of his one-season career-high. Bruin has scored a goal in six of the last seven games where the Dynamo have hit the back of the net, dating back to May 10.

“Will Bruin led the line again, as he does and I'm so pleased with him because he's developed into a real top-class [player] in my mind. He scored a wonderful goal and ran himself into the ground,” said Coyle. “We talked about some fresh legs coming in in Erick "Cubo" Torres and I get Giles Barnes back. I believe I can find a front three in Barnes, Bruin, and Torres that can complement with the other quality that we have. It was a big result that we craved and one we needed to give everybody a lift.”

Brad Davis scored his first goal of the season, ensuring that he has scored at least one league goal in each of 14 MLS league seasons. Davis also recorded his fifth assist of the season, his first since May 16.

Rasheed Olabiyi made his second appearance for the Dynamo, coming on as a late substitute, and recorded his first assist.

Sheanon Williams made his Dynamo debut after his acquisition from Philadelphia Union, coming in at right back and playing the full 90 minutes. A.J. Cochran made his first start of the league season, playing the full match at left back.

Leonel Miranda scored his first goal with the Dynamo, making a second start in the last six matches, playing 90 minutes in a wide midfield role.

“The Open Cup really helped me out in terms of confidence and allowing me to develop a rhythm. Those 90 minutes that I played really helped me out in terms of getting into a particular groove and of course scoring that goal also helped me out a lot,” Miranda said.

DYNAMO VISIT KANSAS CITY FOR RETURN VISIT TO SPORTING PARK Eleven days after a quarterfinal meeting in the U.S. Open Cup, the Houston Dynamo (7-8-6; 27 points) return to Sporting Park on Saturday

to face Sporting Kansas City (9-4-6; 33 points). Sporting KC eliminated the Dynamo from the U.S. Open Cup with a 3-1 win on July 21,

scoring three times in the final 20 minutes for the home win. The Dynamo bounced back with a 3-0 triumph at home against the LA Galaxy

on Saturday. Sporting KC suffered a 2-1 loss at Real Salt Lake last Friday. Both clubs will welcome back several players from the

CONCACAF Gold Cup as well as Wednesday’s MLS All-Star Game. Saturday’s game is the second of three regular-season meetings this

season, with the Dynamo set to host Sporting KC on Sept. 23 at BBVA Compass Stadium.

HOUSTON VS. SPORTING KANSAS CITY Saturday’s match is the 18th encounter between Houston and Sporting Kansas City since the 2011 season. The Dynamo are 7-5-9 all-time in

regular season games against Sporting Kansas City, including a 4-2-4 mark in road games. The teams played to a thrilling 4-4 draw on

April 28 at BBVA Compass Stadium, with Sporting KC erasing 3-1 and 4-3 deficits for a road point as Giles Barnes and Benny Feilhaber

each scored two goals. Last year, each team won on the road, with Sporting KC earning a 2-0 win on June 6 in Houston before the Dynamo

captured a 3-1 triumph on Aug. 29 in Kansas City. The Eastern Conference rivals played 10 games from 2012-13, including four playoff

games. The clubs met in the postseason third straight seasons from 2011-13 and the Dynamo advanced in 2012 and 2013 before Sporting

KC secured a 2-1 aggregate series win in the 2013 Eastern Conference Championship. Sporting KC snapped Houston’s MLS record 36-

game home undefeated streak with a 1-0 win at BBVA Compass Stadium on May 12, 2013. The Dynamo have met Sporting KC in the

postseason four times (2007, 2011, 2012, 2013), more than any other opponent.

DYNAMO NOTES

Dynamo roll to 3-0 win over LA Galaxy: Will Bruin, Brad Davis and Leonel Miranda scored as the Houston Dynamo rolled to a 3-0

win over the LA Galaxy before a BBVA Compass Stadium-record crowd of 22,445 on Saturday. The Dynamo (27 points, 21 games

played) climb within five points of the Portland Timbers and Seattle Sounders (32 points, 22 games played each) for the final two

playoff spots in the Western Conference. With the game time temperature near 90 degrees, the Dynamo started brightly and were

rewarded with the opening goal in the ninth minute. Alex Lima collected a turnover and quickly fed Davis on the left flank, who

used one touch to bend a low cross behind the defense, where Bruin settled the ball near the penalty spot for a left-footed finish and

1-0 lead. Davis doubled the lead 18 minutes later, settling a short pass from Nate Sturgis and smashing a low strike from 25 yards

past the dive of goalkeeper Brian Rowe and inside the left post for his first goal of the year and 2-0 advantage. Dynamo newcomer

Rasheed Olabiyi led the break on the final goal. Making his home debut, the Dynamo midfielder led a counterattack and passed to

Miranda on the right edge of the box. Miranda dribbled into a crowd and scooped a shot near the upper corner for his first regular-

season goal. Dynamo forward Erick “Cubo” Torres made his first home appearance with the Dynamo, entering for Bruin in the 69th

minute for his first regular-season game with the club after a substitute appearance in the U.S. Open Cup on Tuesday.

Milestones and notes from 3-0 victory over LA Galaxy on Saturday:

o The 3-0 victory equaled Houston's largest victory against the Galaxy, tying a 3-0 Dynamo win over the Galaxy on October

18, 2008 at Robertson Stadium.

o It was Brad Davis' 313th career regular-season start to tie Landon Donovan (313) for eighth on the MLS all-time list.

o Ricardo Clark played 89 minutes to reach 15,716 career regular-season minutes with the Dynamo and pass Bobby Boswell

(15,672) for second on the club list.

o It was Will Bruin’s tenth goal in all competitions this season (nine regular season goals, one U.S. Open Cup goal).

o Bruin has nine goals in his last 14 regular-season games and is tied for fourth in MLS with nine goals.

o It was Leonel Miranda’s first Dynamo goal in MLS play. The Argentinian scored his first career goal in the U.S. Open Cup

against the Austin Aztex on June 17.

o Midfielder Rasheed Olabiyi assisted on Miranda’s goal for his first Dynamo assist.

o Defender Sheanon Williams made his Dynamo debut as a starter at right back after he was acquired from the Philadelphia

Union in a trade last Thursday.

o Forward Erick “Cubo” Torres made his home debut, and 2015 regular-season debut, as a substitute for Bruin in the 69th

minute.

Erick “Cubo” Torres makes regular season & home debut: Saturday’s 3-0 win over the Galaxy included the home debut of Dynamo

forward Erick “Cubo” Torres after he made his full debut July 21 at Sporting KC in the U.S. Open cup. The Dynamo signed Torres as

a Designated Player last December, exercising his buyout clause from Chivas USA for a club-record transfer fee. Torres was loaned

back to Chivas Guadalajara, his childhood club, for the spring season in Liga MX. Torres made his Dynamo debut in Tuesday’s 3-1

U.S. Open Cup loss to Sporting Kansas City, entering as a substitute in the 64th minute at Sporting Park. Torres scored 15 goals in 29

games in 2014, a Chivas USA club record for a single season. The 22-year-old joined Chivas USA on loan from Guadalajara in July

2013 and scored 22 goals in 44 appearances in one and a half seasons, the most goals by a Mexican-born player in MLS history. The

striker made his Mexico national team debut last September against Bolivia and scored his first goal for El Tri against Panama a

month later. Torres also featured for Mexico youth national teams at the U-17, U-20 and U-23 levels.

Owen Coyle set for return of several players from injury, suspension and international call-ups: Dynamo head coach Owen Coyle

will benefit from a larger squad in Kansas City on Saturday than he enjoyed last weekend agains the LA Galaxy. Coyle can expect the

return of DaMarcus Beasley (U.S.) and Giles Barnes (Jamaica), both back from the CONCACAF Gold Cup, as well as Kofi Sarkodie

and Luis Garrido who will return from suspension. On the injury front, Boniek Garcia has been upgraded to “probable” on the

injury report after missing the last few weeks with a hamstring strain.

Barnes stars at first CONCACAF Gold Cup: Dynamo forward Giles Barnes scored in his Jamaica debut in March and has been a

regular for head coach Winfried Schaefer since, starting all six games and scoring two goals – game winners against Haiti and the

United States – as Jamaica reached its first CONCACAF Gold Cup final. Barnes helped eliminate the United States with a 19-yard free

kick in the semifinals and appeared in 485 total minutes in the competition. He has three goals in 11 appearances for Jamaica, all in

the last four months since his March 28 debut. Jamaica fell to Mexico, 3-1, in Sunday’s final.

DaMarcus Beasley starts in 2015 AT&T MLS All-Star game for fourth career appearance: Dynamo defender DaMarcus Beasley

started and played the first 45 minutes for the MLS All-Stars in Wednesday’s 2-1 victory over Tottenham in the 2015 AT&T MLS All-

Star Game. It was Beasley’s fourth starting assignment and fourth MLS All-Star selection, after he started three straight games from

2001-2003. Prior to his call up to the U.S. national team for the Gold Cup, Beasley led the Dynamo field players in minutes this season.

Will Bruin is second Dynamo player to 50 goals: Will Bruin scored his 50th career Dynamo goal in all competitions in a 3-1 U.S.

Open Cup quarterfinal loss at Sporting KC on July 21. Bruin, in his fifth season with Houston, is the second player in Dynamo history

to record 50 career goals in all competitions with the club. Brian Ching, the club leader, tallied 69 goals in 224 career games with

Houston. Bruin now has 51 career goals in 157 career games in all competitions with the Dynamo.

DaMarcus Beasley extends U.S. men’s national team appearance streak to 15 years: Dynamo defender DaMarcus Beasley entered

as a substitute for the U.S. men’s national team in a loss to Panama in the third place game at the CONCACAF Gold Cup. With the

appearance, Beasley extended his remarkable streak of consecutive years with an appearance with the national team to 15. The Fort

Wayne, Indiana native has played in at least one game for U.S. national team every year from 2001-15. Beasley captained the United

States to the Gold Cup title in 2013, his fourth Gold Cup championship (2002, 2005, 2007, 2013). The left back joined the Dynamo last

July after starting four games at the 2014 FIFA World Cup to become the first American to play in four World Cups. Beasley, 33, has

made 122 appearances for the U.S. (fifth most) and is tied for ninth in U.S. history with 17 goals and tied for ninth in assists with 13.

His resume also includes 11 career matches at the FIFA World Cup, tied for second-most in U.S. history.

Dynamo acquire Sheanon Williams, international roster slot from Philadelphia Union: The Dynamo acquired defender Sheanon

Williams (pronounced: Shane-en) and an international roster slot from the Philadelphia Union in exchange for general allocation

money on July 23. Williams, 25, appeared in 141 regular-season games in six seasons with the Union, averaging 29 appearances per

season over the last four years. The defender tallied seven goals and 19 assists with Philadelphia, including eight, a career-high, in

2013. Williams made 17 regular-season appearances (15 starts) for the Union this season and is one of six players in the Eastern

Conference to log four consecutive seasons with at least 2,000 minutes with the same club (2011-14). A Boston native, Williams joined

the U.S. U-17 national team residency program in Bradenton, Florida and played at the 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Korea. Two

years later, Williams played at the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Egypt. Williams is eligible for selection on Saturday when the

Dynamo host the LA Galaxy at BBVA Compass Stadium. The Dynamo will hold the acquired international roster slot through the end

of the 2016 season.

April 25, 2015 – Dynamo 4, Sporting KC 4: The last regular-season meeting between Houston and Sporting KC was a classic: a wild

4-4 draw between the clubs at BBVA Compass Stadium. Giles Barnes and Benny Feilhaber each scored two goals and Sporting KC

overcame 3-1 and 4-3 deficits to steal a road point. Krisztian Németh delivered Sporting KC a 1-0 lead just two minutes into the game

as Sporting KC broke from midfield and he guided a pinpoint shot inside the far post for his third goal of the season. The Dynamo

answered nine minutes later as Barnes collected a blocked clearance and volleyed into the upper corner from 15 yards to tie the game.

With the Dynamo leading 3-2 midway through the second half, Jermaine Taylor was judged by referee Kevin Stott to have handled

the ball with his arm when he appeared to block Németh’s goal-bound shot with his chest. Stott issued Taylor a red card and

awarded Sporting KC a penalty, which Feilhaber converted to even the score, 3-3. Houston appeared to claim the winner in the 83rd

minute as Davis served a set piece from the right flank and Raúl Rodríguez rose to head into the bottom corner for a 4-3 lead and his

first goal with the Dynamo. But Sporting KC produced the game’s final moment in the fifth minute of stoppage time. Graham Zusi

headed a pass to Feilhaber just outside the penalty area and the midfielder cracked a low drive inside the right post for the equalizing

goal.

Dynamo continue stretch of 10 of 14 games on road: Saturday’s game at Sporting KC is Houston’s seventh road game in ten games

and is part of a span 10 of 14 away from home. The road-packed schedule began May 22 in Southern California and included road

trips to Los Angeles, New York City, Portland, Dallas, San Jose and Salt Lake. After Saturday’s home game against the Galaxy, the

Dynamo are back on the road for four of their next five games.

Giles Barnes scores winning goal as Jamaica upsets United States to advance to first CONCACAF Gold Cup final: Dynamo

forward Giles Barnes scored his second game-winning goal in five days, smashing a 19-yard free kick into the upper corner for the

goal that stood up as the winner for Jamaica in a 2-1 triumph over the United States on July 22 in Atlanta. Jamaica will face Mexico on

Sunday in Philadelphia in Jamaica’s first-ever appearance in the Gold Cup final. It was Barnes’ third international goal after he scored

the game-winner in the seventh minute of a 1-0 victory over Haiti in the Gold Cup quarterfinals last Saturday in Baltimore. Barnes

debuted for Jamaica in March and has three goals in 11 appearances.

Dynamo acquire general allocation money, future second-round pick in exchange for defender Corey Ashe: The Dynamo acquired

general allocation money and a second-round selection in the 2017 MLS SuperDraft from Orlando City SC in exchange for defender

Corey Ashe, the club announced on July 14. Ashe was the second-longest tenured Dynamo player after he was drafted by the club in

the second round of the 2007 MLS SuperDraft. Ashe, 29, was part of the MLS Cup-winning squad in 2007 and appeared in 266 games

in all competitions with the Dynamo. He is second on the club’s all-time appearance list, fourth on the club list with 196 starts and

fourth with 27 assists in all competitions. The Virginia Beach, Virginia native is also second on the franchise chart with 211 career

regular-season games and fourth with 155 regular-season starts.

Dynamo sign Nigerian midfielder Rasheed Olabiyi: The Dynamo signed Nigerian midfielder Rasheed Olabiyi on July 9. Olabiyi,

who last played with Enyimba International FC of the Nigeria Premier League, made his Dynamo debut as a substitute in the 2-0 win

at San Jose on July 10. The central midfielder (pronounced: Ra-sheed Oh-la-bee-ee) represented Nigeria at the Under-17, U-20 and U-

23 levels and was a 2014 Nigeria Premier League Bext XI selection. A native of Ibadan, Olabiyi was a two-time MVP (2006, 2007) of

the Lagos-based Pepsi Football Academy, which featured Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel and Monaco defender Elderson Echiejile

in its youth ranks. Olabiyi has spent his entire professional career with Enyimba, one of the largest clubs in Nigeria, after joining the

Aba club in 2007. He helped the Peoples’ Elephants win the Nigeria Premier League in 2010 as well as three Nigeria FA Cups (2009,

2013, 2014) and two Nigeria Super Cups (2010, 2013). Enyimba also reached the semifinals of the CAF (African) Champions League in

2011.

Mauro Manotas tallies first Dynamo goal in first start: Colombian forward Mauro Manotas tallied the game-winner on June 30 vs.

Colorado for his first Dynamo goal in his first start. The 19-year-old now has a goal and assists in two U.S. Open Cup games after

assisting on Ricardo Clark’s goal in his Dynamo debut on June 17. The striker began training with the Dynamo on June 1 after signing

on May 13 from Uniautónoma F.C. in Colombia’s First Division. Manotas scored six goals in 32 appearances across all competitions

(Primera A and Copa Colombia) with Uniautónoma and scored the crucial goal to keep Uniautónoma in the Colombian top flight in

2014, a late winner in the last regular season game to qualify for a playoff. The Sabanalarga native helped the Colombia Under-20

national team qualify for the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup with a second place finish at the 2015 South American Youth Football

Championship in Uruguay this February. Manotas appeared in three games (one start) and scored against Brazil in the group stage.

Brad Davis is longest-tenured MLS player with same team: After 10-year Chicago Fire veteran left back Gonzalo Segares

announced his retirement on Feb. 6, Dynamo captain Brad Davis now has the longest-tenure with one club among active MLS

players. Davis, 33, is in his tenth season with the Dynamo after following the club from San Jose in December 2005. His nine full years

of service with the Dynamo eclipse the veteran Real Salt Lake trio of Nick Rimando, Kyle Beckerman and Javier Morales (eight

years each). Davis is in his 14th season overall in MLS and with 116 assists is third on the league’s all-time assist list.

A new era under head coach Owen Coyle: The Dynamo appointed Owen Coyle as the second head coach in team history on Dec. 9,

welcoming the former English Premier League manager to the Bayou City. A Scotland native, Coyle scored 297 goals in over 600

appearances in England and Scotland, primarily with Airdrie and also with Motherwell and Bolton. The forward with Irish ancestry

made one appearance for the Republic of Ireland national team. As manager, Coyle led Burnley to promotion to the English Premier

League in 2009 for the first time in 33 years. Under Coyle, the Clarets also reached the League Cup semifinals in 2008. Coyle later

managed Bolton and former Dynamo midfielder Stuart Holden and led the Wanderers to the 2010-11 FA Cup semifinals. He was

twice named Premier League Manager of the Month (November 2010, March 2012) before taking the helm at Wigan Athletic in 2013.

Coyle effectively completed his playing career at age 38 as a player-manager with Airdrie in 2005 after previously serving in a player-

manager role with Falkirk in 2003 and co-leading the Bairns to the Scottish First Division title. He gained his first full time managerial

role in 2005 with St. Johnstone in the Scottish First Division and led the Saints to a second-place finish in his first two seasons as well

as to the semifinals of the Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup in 2007. Coyle also made sporadic playing appearances with St.

Johnsone, and later, with Bolton. Coyle took the helm at Burnley in November 2007 and earned success in his first full season in the

English Championship, leading the Clarets to a fifth place finish in the 2008-09 campaign and a place in the Championship playoffs.

Burnley defeated Reading, 3-0, in the semifinal before beating Sheffield United, 1-0, in the final for promotion to the Premier League.

Coyle has thrived in Cup competitions, repeatedly bouncing clubs from higher divisions. With St. Johnstone, he beat Scottish giants

Rangers in the 2006-07 Scottish League Cup quarterfinals and Scottish Premier League clubs Falkirk and Motherwell to reach the

Scottish Cup the same year. He then guided Burnley to three upsets of Premiership clubs in the 2008-09 League Cup – defeating

Fulham, Chelsea and Arsenal in succession to reach the semifinals. Coyle’s most recent managerial role was with Wigan Athletic in

the English Championship. He joined the Latics in June 2013 but left the club in December of the same year.

Coyle’s technical staff: Head coach Owen Coyle’s coaching staff includes former Dynamo captain Wade Barrett, who is entering his

sixth season, along with longtime Coyle lieutenant Sandy Stewart, goalkeeper coach Paul Rogers and Paul Caffrey, the club’s sports

performance director/fitness coach.

o Wade Barrett won three MLS Cups as a player, including 2006 and 2007 with the Dynamo, and served as captain in 138 of his 140

appearances with the club. Barrett made 241 appearances in 10 MLS seasons and spent three seasons in Denmark (Aarhus) and

Norway (Fredrikstad).

o Sandy Stewart joins Coyle in Houston after serving as Coyle’s assistant in four previous coaching roles: Wigan Athletic, Bolton,

Burnley and St. Johnstone. The defender made over 500 appearances in Scotland, primarily in with Airdrie, where he managed

the club to the 2003-04 Scottish League Second Division title as Coyle led the club with 15 goals.

o Paul Rogers spent the last six years as goalkeeper coach with the United States Women’s National Team. The Brighton, England

helped lead the U.S. to a gold medal at the 2012 Olympic Games and a second-place finish at the 2010 FIFA Women’s World Cup.

Rogers served as goalkeeper coach for the Canada Women’s National Team in 2008 and was an assistant and goalkeeper coach

with St. Louis Athletica of Women’s Professional Soccer from 2009-10, and collegiately with Florida State University, the

University of Louisville and Tulane University. As a player, Rogers had spells with several professional and semi-professional

clubs in England, including time as a youth player with Queens Park Rangers and Plymouth Argyle and senior player with

Brighton & Hove Albion.

o Paul Caffrey holds experience in MLS and with the United States national team program. A Dublin, Ireland native, he spent 2014

at Chivas USA as the first assistant coach under Wilmer Cabrera. He served as an assistant coach and fitness coach with the

Colorado Rapids on Oscar Pareja’s staff from 2012-13. He also was the first assistant coach under Cabrera with the United States

under-17 national team from 2007-11 and oversaw the physical preparation and fitness training of the team. Caffrey played four

seasons with the Long Island Rough Riders after a four-year college career at Adelphi University.

Matt Jordan appointed as club’s first vice president/general manager: The Dynamo appointed Matt Jordan as vice president/general

manager to oversee soccer operations and the technical areas of the club on Nov. 6. Jordan spent the last four seasons with the

technical staff of the Montreal Impact, most recently serving the role of technical director. The 39-year-old enjoyed a 13-year

professional career highlighted by eight years in Major League Soccer as well as time in the Danish Superliga and North American

Soccer League. The Clemson University product was a two-time All-American, an MLS All-Star and finalist for Goalkeeper of the

Year in 1999 with the Dallas Burn. During his stint with the Impact, Jordan was involved in the process of signing several notable

foreign players including Italians Marco Di Vaio and Alessandro Nesta and Argentine midfielders Ignacio Piatti, Hernan Bernardello

and Andres Romero. Jordan also led the initiative to launch a new USL Pro franchise under Impact management, FC Montreal, for the

2015 season. Jordan was offered a position with the Impact’s technical staff upon retirement as a player in 2011 after four years with

the club to help Montreal’s successful transition from the NASL to MLS. The Aurora, Colo. native’s playing career included stops

with the Dallas Burn (1998-2002), Columbus Crew (2004-05) and Colorado Rapids (2006) in MLS, Odense BK in the Danish Superliga

(2003-04) and with the Montreal Impact (2007-10).

Dynamo open tenth season: The Dynamo celebrate their tenth season in 2015 and will celebrate their biggest moments, best

memories and most impactful players throughout the year. Through nine seasons, a high bar has been set, with two MLS Cups titles,

four MLS Cup Final appearances and six conference championship appearances. The club has also reached the playoffs in seven of

nine years.
