It was first noted by Univision’s Diego Arrioja after the Houston match that Alvaro Fernandez had said he was playing his last match at CenturyLink Field that night. There was some speculation about whether or not that was true, but general manager Garth Lagerwey basically confirmed last week that Flaco would be leaving the club soon. Luckily for the fans and the player himself, Flaco made a substitute appearance at Starfire on Tuesday in the win against the Portland Timbers. When he entered the match for Zach Mathers in the 72nd minute, it was to a thunderous ovation by the home supporters.
