Whatever concerns there were about the Portland Timbers losing their momentum seem like marks of paranoia, now. With the team’s attacking depth on full display, the Timbers matched their MLS high for goals in a game on Wednesday night, defeating LA Galaxy, 6-3, in Carson, California, to claim their fourth win in six games.
The victory leaves the Timbers in sole possession of second place in Major League Soccer’s Western Conference, three points behind West-leading Seattle Sounders FC.
“Overall, a very strong performance from a group that came here with a good mentality, with a desire to get three points,” Timbers head coach Giovanni Savarese said, having mentioned that his team’s attack “could have been a little bit better” than the six goals.
