15' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

52' Portland Timbers fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
57' Controversy at the stadium! Belal Halbouni argues furiously but the card stands.
