Welcome back to the Post-Slab Pint, where I break down (pint in hand) the good and the bad from each Portland Timbers’ result. This week, I’ll be breaking down the Timbers dogged defensive display against the Dynamo (try saying that 10 times fast). Taking into consideration the 4–1 loss in Dallas earlier this season, and their record in Texas as a whole throughout their time in MLS, I think that the Timbers can be quite satisfied with their 0–0 draw against Houston last weekend.
So, what did I like about the performance?
Aljaz Ivacic stood on his head in net for the Timbers, making save after save to keep Houston off the scoresheet.
