North Texas escape with a close win over Portland Timbers 2

Saturday night, North Texas SC took down the Portland Timbers 2 in a close battle that ended 2-1.

The MLS Game of the Week also featured some better camera quality than we’ve become accustomed to alongside featured coverage on mlsnextpro.com.

After a month featuring back-to-back games in elevation and a two-week bye, North Texas finally made the return home to Choctaw Stadium in Arlington.

Kicking off just before sunset, a well-shaded crowd earned some relief from the 103º F weather, eager to finally see their team play again.

Many of whom expecting a blowout, the one-thousand-plus attendees instead witnessed North Texas scrape by in an unusually close game that featured their 9th different back-line in just 11 matches.
