Events

Match Events

0' The game is set. Portland Timbers kicks off things out of here…
5' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Gustav Svensson suffering a number of foals already.
10' Both keepers have barely been tested. Seattle Sounders FC and Portland Timbers are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
15' Raul Ruidiaz has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
20' A stunning finish from Brian Fernandez — that came from absolutely nowhere!
25' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Brian Schmetzer will be considering his options from the bench.
30' Portland Timbers are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
35' The energy levels are beginning to show. Brian Schmetzer might look to freshen things up shortly.
40' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jorge Moreira made 185 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
45' Seattle Sounders FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Portland Timbers backline.
50' GOAL! Raul Ruidiaz scores on 50.
51' Sensational shot from Brian Fernandez. Portland Timbers is back in the lead.
56' Portland Timbers looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Kevin Kelsy scoring 3 goals.
61' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
62' Seattle Sounders FC ring the changes. Harry Shipp has done his job and it is now time for Joevin Jones to step up.
66' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Kelvin Leerdam.
71' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 71 minutes.
72' Fresh legs for Seattle Sounders FC! Saad Abdul Salaam comes on to replace Kelvin Leerdam.
75' Another change for Portland Timbers made on 75 minute. Jeremy Ebobisse leaves to be changed by Marvin Loria.
80' USA international Jorge Villafana has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
82' The referee shows Portland Timbers player a Yellow card on 82.
84' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Jorge Moreira.
87' Nouhou Tolo is replacing Brad Smith for the Seattle Sounders FC side.
90' Portland Timbers make a change. Jorge Villafana trudges off to be replaced by Zarek Valentin on 90 minutes.
90' Diego Chara is having his name booked by the referee on 90.
Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Portland Timbers players.
