PORTLAND, ORE.—Diego Valeri scored on a free kick in the 74th minute to give the Portland Timbers a 2-1 victory over Toronto FC on Sunday.
The winning goal, which gave Portland a three-match winning streak and snapped Toronto’s three-game undefeated run, came on Valeri’s birthday.
Portland took the early lead with a goal on in the 17th minute on a nice series from Darren Mattocks to Valeri and then to Fanendo Adi in the middle of the box for the goal. It was Adi’s seventh goal of the season, tying him with San Jose’s Chris Wondolowski for the league lead.
