The Portland Timbers and Colorado Rapids played to a 2-2 draw in a wild game at Providence Park Saturday night.
Timbers goalkeeper Steve Clark made four sprawling saves in the first half, but the Timbers went down a man in the second half and in the end, couldn't hold two leads against the Rapids.
The Timbers played the final 35-plus minutes with 10 men after defender Julio Cascante was sent off for a hard foul on the Rapids' Kei Kamara. But an aerial elbow in the box from the Rapids' Lalas Abubakar in the 63rd minute led to Diego Valeri slotting home his fifth goal of the season.
