The sound of beating drums echoed throughout Merlo Field once again as the Pilots returned to action against Portland Timbers 2 on Friday night. Portland couldn’t recover from an early self goal and fell to the Timbers 2-1.
Timbers 2, which also calls Merlo Field home, is a professional soccer club competing in the United Soccer League.
Offense was hard to come by for the majority of the first half. The Pilots first shot on goal didn’t take place until the final minutes of the half and T2’s attack was not much stronger.
