The Timbers did everyone a solid by spanking the LA Galaxy at home and picking up a much needed three points, thanks to goals from Diego Valeri, Liam Ridgewell and Alvas Powell. It was a happy day in Soccer City USA.
Now the Timbers travel to the Great White North and face Canada’s other team: Toronto FC. This will be a big test for the Timbers as they face one of the most dangerous teams in the East. Not only do the Reds lead their conference, they also lead in the Supporters Shield race.
