Felipe Mora’s first goal of the season rescued a point for the Portland Timbers, who drew 1-1 with the Vancouver Whitecaps at Providence Park. Vancouver opened the scoring in the 33rd minute through Brian White before Mora equalized in the 82nd minute from the penalty spot.
Recap
The Timbers were without Eryk Williamson, who has been one of the Timbers’ best players in recent weeks, due to a yellow card accumulation suspension sustained in the win over the Sounders. In his place Cristhian Paredes got the start, as did Larrys Mabiala, who has seemingly replaced Bill Tuiloma as the Timbers’ first-choice centerback to partner Dario Zuparic.
