Two games, two wins and the Portland Timbers find themselves atop Group F with a ticket to the knockout rounds following their 2-1 win over the Houston Dynamo Saturday night in the MLS is Back Tournament Group Play presented by Heineken.
For a team that started their 2020 season somewhat unevenly back in March with a loss against Minnesota United FC and a 1-0 win over expansion side Nashville SC, these two wins in Orlando seem almost like a breath of fresh air.
“It feels good to be able to win these two matches,” Timbers head coach Giovanni Savarese said after the match.
