SAN SALVADOR – Freshly arrived in El Salvador following their MLS game against the Houston Dynamo, the Portland Timbers took to the pitch at Estadio Cuscatlán Monday to prepare for their Tuesday Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League Group B game against the Salvadoran Primera League side C.D. Dragón (7pm PT, Univision Deportes / CONCACAF Facebook).
Though the game will be part of a busy three-game road trip between MLS and CCL play, Timbers head coach Caleb Porter says the team is focused on getting an important three points.
“We knew this week would be difficult and we’ve got to put the last league game behind us, shift gears, focus on the Champions League,” he said following the squad’s training session.
