PTFC: From the Archives #Statman Edition | When a loss was a win

In a rivalry filled with intensity, longevity, and classic games, the second leg of the Audi 2018 MLS Cup Playoffs Western Conference Semifinals between the Portland Timbers and Seattle Sounders FC was one-of-a-kind. Late goals, extra-time heroics, and a penalty kick shootout all combined to make for an incredible 120 minutes of drama-filled soccer.

The Timbers advanced after winning the penalty kick shootout after the match ended 3-2 for Seattle and had the series nodded up at 4-4 on aggregate goals. Sebastián Blanco selected this match for this week's PTFC: From the Archives, presented by KeyBank.
