After playing two matches in four days, the Portland Timbers ran out a young side on the road against the Montreal Impact and could not manage a result against the Canadian side. A brace from Nigerian youngster Orji Okwonkwo was enough to seal the 2-1 result and send the Timbers home without a point.
With the Timbers taking a conservative approach to start the match, chances were difficult to come by for both sides. The Impact held the bulk of the possession to start the match, while the Timbers youngsters looked to turn the home side over and hit them on the break.
