Good evening and welcome to the second (league) game of the Portland Timbers season. The match down in Sandy, Utah didn’t go as planned and the Timbers have returned with zero points heading into tonight's matchup against the Houston Dynamo.
Coach Giovanni Savarese has his work cut out for him. Not only does he have to keep one eye on the Dynamo, but he also has to have an eye his midweek matchup. Wednesday, the Timbers welcome Club America to Providence Park. But all he can do is coach the game in front of him right now, as much as I’m sure he’s got Wednesday in the back of his mind.
