Events

Match Events

  • 24' Goal! David Ayala scores his 3 goal in 170 matches.
  • 29' It’s high time Phil Neville made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 34' Santiago Moreno, a Colombia , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 39' Andreas Maxso is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Portland Timbers tonight.
  • 44' The 31-year-old Miguel Araujo has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 49' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 54' Portland Timbers fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 59' The home supporters are growing impatient. Colorado Rapids SC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 64' Colorado Rapids SC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Portland Timbers's shape.
