GOAL LINES
The Portland Timbers welcomed back CONCACAF Champions League (CCL) on August 3rd and in true Timbers tradi@on, when it came to the rollercoaster ride of emo@ons and drama, they didn’t disappoint! Knowing that in their previous 5 games in the CCL since joining MLS they had only lost once, and were unbeaten at home the Timbers were full of confidence going into the game. Their opponents, C.D. Dragon from Guatemala were welcomed to Providence Park by over 16,000
green and white clad fans and they were treated to a fantas@c game. Jack Mac got the scoring done early, and aTer con@nued pressure on the Dragon goal for most of the match, the Timbers allowed the equalizer against the run of play in the 76th minute, before Captain Marvel, Diego Valeri stepped up to score the winner as the clock @cked past 90 mins, barely squeezing a shot over the line.
