On Saturday, the Portland Timbers drew 1-1 against an in-form Orlando City team. The Timbers went down a goal shortly after halftime. After a second yellow card on Jose Van Rankin, the Timbers rallied and played arguably their best attacking soccer of the match. Cristhian Paredes drew a penalty and calmly converted it from the spot.

Here’s my breakdown of how the Timbers’ players performed as they retained the ninth position in the Western Conference.

(One thing to note: I added some more detailed statistics from FBref last week to all of the positions, so it will be difficult to compare the player grades this week to those last week)
