The Portland Timbers and Sporting Kansas City played to a typical stalemate between the two sides on Saturday night, drawing 0-0 in a match that saw only a handful of chances created for either side. The draw leaves the Timbers’ unbeaten streak at eight league matches.
The early minutes of the match were tests of youth versus experience on the flanks as Timbers homegrown player Marco Farfan saw off Sporting winger Johnny Russell on one side of the pitch, while on the other it was Diego Valeri squaring off against SKC homegrown Jaylin Lindsey.
