The Portland Timbers were happy to have Diego Valeri back from injury tonight as he recorded a brace against the Timbers’ Cascadia rivals. Joining him on the scoreboard was Fanendo Adi, with a sneaky goal in the 64′ minute. Seattle’s Chad Marshall knocked in header in the 59′ minute to give the Sounders their only goal.
The atmosphere in Providence Park was lively and loud as the Timbers Army chanted for their “Portland Boys”. This is a rivalry that never disappoints fans or spectators, and this match was no exception.
However, Seattle’s woes continued.
