PORTLAND, Ore. – Playing their final home game of the 2016 PDL season, the Portland Timbers U-23s gave up an early goal and were unable to mount a comeback, falling 1-0 to Washington Crossfire at Delta Park on Saturday night.
Defender Jalen Markey tallied the lone goal of the match for Washington Crossfire (4-4-5, 17pts) after midfielder Alex Roldan sent in a ball from a corner kick that Markey headed over the outstretched arms of Portland goalkeeper Andrew Konstantino and into the back of the net. Konstantino finished the match with two saves, including a diving save to his left on Crossfire midfielder Michael Roberts’ shot from outside of the box in the 72nd minute.
