The Portland Timbers blew a two-goal lead in Providence Park in their 3-2 defeat to the Vancouver Whitecaps on Wednesday. The Timbers have now lost consecutive matches for the first time since July.
A playoff position, that was just a week ago thought to be secure, is now teetering on the edge. The Timbers wilted to a 3-2 loss to the Vancouver Whitecaps at Providence Park on Wednesday night, via a second-half meltdown. First-half goals from Yimmi Chara and Dairon Asprilla looked to have the Timbers running away, but a second-half that featured three unanswered Whitecaps goals doomed Portland to defeat.
