The Portland Timbers are officially on a streak with their third win in as many games after a 2-1 victory against Real Salt Lake. Goals from Sebastian Blanco and Diego Valeri led the Timbers. Also performing well against the Cobalt and Blue was goalkeeper Steve Clark, who had a huge match between the sticks, including a PK save. Now they continue the road trip with another trip up north; this time to face Cascadia rivals, the Vancouver Whitecaps.
Speaking of the Whitecaps, they’re coming off a 3-2 win over the hapless Colorado Rapids, now under new management.
