After securing the Cascadia Cup at the weekend, the Portland Timbers traveled down to Texas and took down second-in-the-Western Conference Austin FC 2-1. Bill Tuiloma opened the scoring in the first half, and Zac McGraw doubled the lead in the second, before Sebastian Driussi pulled a goal back for the hosts.
Recap
After a lengthy lightning delay, the Timbers deployed the same starting XI that put Seattle on top of the bonfire last weekend, with Dairon Asprilla and Zac McGraw retaining their places after herculean performances. New signing Juan David Mosquera travelled with the team to Austin, but wasn’t quite ready enough to claim a place in the 20-man matchday squad.
