Where Timbers 2 tried to play along their speedy flanks, even nabbing a goal from their young winger Victor Arboleda that drew the game level. Sounders 2 was generally more effective through the middle with Jordan Schweitzer sitting deep behind both Mark O’ojong and Zach Mathers. S2’s win gives them faint hope at the USL playoffs as they are four points out of eighth with multiple teams between them and the USL red line.
Mathers scored from the spot for the first goal of the game. Just inside the area O’ojong was brought down preventing the entry pass.
