August 10th in Seattle
The Timbers played one of their best games of the season up in Seattle
as the won for the first time in 3 seasons. It was a total team effort
as all the players looked sharp. The match was not very old as Jake
Sagare broke down the left wing past 3 defenders placing a perfect
pass to an on rushing Tennyson for a goal. That goal stood up for the
first half of play. In the second half Seattle got the equalizer with
a nice shot by Marco Valez 59th minute. Portland was on top once again
when Byron Alvaraz scored 10 minutes later plus he put in the
insurance goal 12 minutes after that. Seattle had their chances but
could not find the net as the Timbers challenged every ball. Great job
by the lads to keep the playoff drive on track.
