15' Portland Timbers have won 469 goals from 291 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Erik Godoy made 118 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
25' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
29' Janio Bikel was booked on 29.
