It’s been about 14 hours since the Portland Timbers’ dramatic draw against Club America in the Concacaf Champions League quarterfinal, so if you haven’t breathed since then, you can now. You don’t have to worry about waking up from some dreamland and finding out that the Timbers didn’t actually draw one of the best clubs in North America 1-1 thanks to an at-the-death penalty kick. That actually happened — and it was classic Timbers.
It was classic Timbers because it was yet another tale-of-two-halves game where Portland seemingly created chance after chance in the second half after generating literally zero shots in the first.
