There are few victories in Portland Timbers' soccer as sweet as ones celebrated at CenturyLink Field, although given recent results, the Timbers might be getting used to the occasion. Thanks to two goals on Sunday from Brian Fernandez, Portland left the home of the Seattle Sounders celebrating for the third time in a row, their 2-1 win handing the club's fiercest rivals a home loss for the first time in Major League Soccer play this season.
"There was always a belief that we could do the job today," head coach Giovanni Savarese told FOX Sports immediately after the game.
