The Portland Timbers started the season with a 5-1 thumping of Minnesota in week 1. The LA Galaxy lost 2-1 to MLS Cup favorites FC Dallas. Timbers forward Fanendo Adi got off to a flying start with two goals in the season opener. While Diego Valeri registered two goals and an assist himself. Giovanni Dos Santos scored the lone goal for the Galaxy against Dallas last weekend.
While the Portland Timbers could not have asked for a better kickoff to their season, it will not be as easy against LA. Adi will look to keep up that goal scoring pace.
