Timbers drop points in 2-2 draw against Revolution
Kris LattimoreThe Portland Timbers looked to have it all wrapped up.
Up 2-0 past the 75’ the Timbers looked to be on cruise control and on their way to a win their final game of a ten-game homestead. Instead they must settle for a draw as the Revolution came clawing back to earn the 2-2 result.
The Timbers came into the game playing in more of a 4-3-2-1 shape, better known as the “Christmas tree” formation. Early on Portland seemed content with soaking up a large amount of possession as the Revolution continued to press and win the ball higher up the field. This opened up the field for Portland who took advantage of some good transition moments as they grew into the game.
