For the first time in two years, the Portland Timbers and their beautiful kits will be at BMO Field this evening for an inter-conference tie with Toronto FC. TFC will want to start turning draws into wins, as they’re unbeaten in their last five games, but with just two victories in that stretch.
The Reds lost 2-1 in Portland last year, with Will Johnson’s goal not enough to match the Timbers’ contributions from Fanendo Adi and Diego Valeri. Toronto were successful the last time they saw Portland at BMO, though: Sebastian Giovinco’s goal stood alone in a 1-0 win.
