Well, folks: It looks like the Portland Timbers are doing it yet again.
With their 1-0 victory Saturday night over visiting Minnesota United, the Timbers have amassed a four-game win streak, vaulted themselves up into fifth in the Western Conference, and are getting results when the games matter the most. It’s been a calling card for Portland for years now, and especially so in recent seasons under Giovanni Savarese.
Still, despite the result, Savarese is under no illusions that the first half of Saturday’s win was not up to the team’s standards.
