Second-half scores from Diego Valeri, Dairon Asprilla and Bill Tuiloma completed the Portland Timbers' comeback against Sporting Kansas City on Wednesday, with the team concluding their preseason trip to Tucson, Arizona, with a 3-3 draw in the 2021 Visit Tucson Sun Cup.
Sporting opened the game's scoring just before halftime through forward Khiry Shelton's 44th minute goal, with teammate Wilson Harris doubling SKC's lead three minutes into the second period. Seven minutes later, a Sporting foul on Timbers forward Felipe Mora gave Valeri a chance from the penalty spot, with the Portland captain's finish into the right of goal reducing Sporting's lead to one.
