It was a rollercoaster of emotions throughout the entirety of last night’s match. Of course, it ended the way most of us Portland Timbers fans would like with a 6-3 victory over the LA Galaxy, but there were certainly moments that caused some to worry: The Julian Araujo goal in the 34th minute, Ethan Zubak’s 54th minute header, and even Christian Pavon’s laser in the 72nd minute had me personally worried that a Real Salt Lake situation was potentially brewing.
But every time it seemed like the Timbers faltered a little defensively, they came back twice as strong on the other side of the pitch.
