The Seattle Sounders were swept in the season series with the Portland Timbers, falling 2-1 on Friday. It was the first time in the MLS era that either team won all the regular-season meetings and the first time since 1981 that the Sounders failed to beat the Timbers in any of their meetings.
The Sounders scored the first goal in this one, but were undone by a questionable penalty and then failed to find a late equalizer.
