Match Events

0' The wait is over. Portland Timbers get us underway at CenturyLink Field.
5' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
10' A stunning finish from Andres Flores — that came from absolutely nowhere!
15' It’s high time Brian Schmetzer made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
20' The travelling Portland Timbers supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
25' Seattle Sounders FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
30' Another change for Seattle Sounders FC made on 30 minute. Jordy Delem leaves to be changed by Alex Roldan.
35' Both keepers have barely been tested. Seattle Sounders FC and Portland Timbers are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
40' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
45' USA international Will Bruin has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
50' The 40-year-old Stefan Frei has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
55' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
60' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 60 minutes.
65' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Seattle Sounders FC that had 288 games and scored 453 goals.
70' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Giovanni Savarese will be considering his options from the bench.
74' A tactical swap from Portland Timbers — Pablo Bonilla on, Andres Flores off on 74 minutes.
79' Kelvin Leerdam makes way for Shandon Hopeau at the 79 minute mark. A tactical switch from Seattle Sounders FC.
83' Portland Timbers manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jaroslaw Niezgoda is hanging Felipe Mora on the field on 83 minute.
85' Another change for Seattle Sounders FC made on 85 minute. Shane O'Neill leaves to be changed by Miguel Ibarra.
90' Portland Timbers player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
The points are shared — Seattle Sounders FC 1-1 Portland Timbers. Honours even.
