Decision Day Match Thread: Timbers @ Real Salt Lake
Disclaimer: The PTFC organization is currently under heavy scrutiny and pressure because of actions outlined in the recently released report from U.S. Soccer and Sally Yates into allegations of abuse in women’s soccer. It has resulted in the firing of two club executives and loud public outcry for more institutional change. As you read this article, please do not forget the pain that the players of the NWSL have suffered — and are continuing to endure.
It all comes down to this: the Portland Timbers travel to Real Salt Lake on the final day of the regular season with their playoff hopes on the line. A win or a draw is good enough for the Timbers to clinch a spot in the 2022 MLS Cup Playoffs.
