LEAGUE HEAD-TO-HEAD: RSL 4 wins, 16 GF … POR 1 win, 10 goals … Ties 3 2013 HEAD-TO-HEAD: RSL 1 win, 7 GF … POR 0 wins, 5 goals … Ties 2 AT JELD-WEN FIELD: 8/21: POR 3, RSL 3 (Wallace 24; Valeri 57; Alhassan 86 -- Borchers 38; Morales 43; Grossman 93+) 10/19: POR 0, RSL 0 MLS CUP PLAYOFFS: RSL 1 win, 4 GF … POR 0 wins, 2 goals … Ties 0 Needing goals in the second leg, the Timbers have scored seven goals in the MLS Cup Playoffs, tied for most in the league with Houston (who have played one more game). "I think that last goal was big, really big, because I think it gave us a little bit of life knowing that now we only need two goals and that, for our team, meant a lot," said Timbers head coach Caleb Porter. "We know we are capable of that. And for their team, to some extent, probably that rattles them a little bit and gets them thinking.” ... The last time a two-goal deficit was overturned in the second leg of a two-game series in MLS came in 2004, when Kansas City lost the first leg to San Jose 2-0, but came back to win the series 3-2 on aggregate. It’s happened just twice in MLS history (also, 2003 West semis, San Jose vs. Los Angeles, 5-4 on aggregate after a 0-2 first leg). “The reality is, three is a whole other ball game,” Timbers defender Jack Jewsbury -- who then played for KC. " ... Obviously not the result we had hoped for coming in, but we realize that with the group we have in this locker room, two goals is very doable.” ... The Timbers have allowed three or more goals on just five occasions in 2013 – three against RSL. They have scored three goals or more seven times in 34 league matches. “We’re capable of going to another level and turning it up a notch where we can score goals,” Porter said. “We’ve shown that this year. ... Obviously I wouldn’t have scripted it this way, this is not the way we wanted it to be. Obviously we were disappointed with the last game, but we know what we need to do.” ... Portland has not lost at Jeld-Wen Field since the second game of the season, a 2-1 loss to the Montréal Impact on March 9. Over all competitions, the Timbers are 14-1-5 on their home ground this year. “I don’t think we’re under pressure,” Timbers defender Mamadou Danso said. “We know we can score more than three goals at home. We just need to go home and take care of business.” ... Eight of 36 total goals in this year's playoffs have come from set pieces. Two have come from corner kicks -- both conceded by Portland in the first leg. “You can look at the four goals and think that we got shredded, and we did more than we should have, but you cut out the two corner kicks and you cut out the one we just gave them and they scored one goal on a counterattack,” Porter said. Real Salt Lake have a nine-game undefeated streak in all competitions alive vs. Portland. Since the Timbers won the first meeting ever between the teams, a 1-0 triumph April 30, 2011, RSL has four of seven league meetings (with three draws), as well as an Open Cup match and the first leg of the West final. “We're not going to be able to go there and sit back and just have a laugh for 90 minutes,” RSL head coach Jason Kreis said. “We're going to have to go there and work. We've still got 90 minutes of work to do if we want to advance.” ... RSL has had a big lead following a first leg before. In 2011, they defeated Seattle 3-0 in the first leg of the West Semifinals -- and held on for a 3-2 win on aggregate. “You could look at that and be really disappointed and feel like if we go there with a three-goal lead, it's going to be an easier affair,” Kreis said. “Or we can look at that and say, 'You know what? We've just challenged ourselves a little bit more.'” ... Robbie Findley scored a goal and added an assist in the first leg – his first goal since Aug. 17. Chris Schuler scored a goal for a second consecutive match, one of four players this year with goals in back-to-back playoff games (also, Aurelien Collin [KC], Omar Cummings [HOU], Will Johnson [POR]). “We know they're going to come out firing,” said Findley. “They're going to be pressing, so we've got to be ready for that. I think at some point in the game ... we'll get opportunities there. It's a matter of putting them away again.” ... Real have scored 13 goals in the five meetings in all competitions this season. “I think that we both play a similar style. There's been much made of that, and I think it's true," said RSL coach Jason Kreis. "I think we both want to set the tempo of the match. I think we both want to press. I think we both want to be aggressive in our play. And that opens up space to counterattack into.” ... Since the end of August, Real have had three breaks of at least 11 days between matches -- and did not score a goal in the match following, with a draw and a pair of losses. It will be 14 days between legs of the West final. “We'll just do our best,” Kreis said, “They've got a twoweek break as well and so we'll probably both be dealing with a little bit of rustiness.”

NO PLACE LIKE HOME The newly renovated JELD-WEN Field opened on April 14, 2011, in front of a sold-out crowd in the Timbers first-ever home match as an MLS team. The club proceeded to sell out 34 consecutive regular season home games in the team’s first two MLS seasons, even after raising the 86-year-old downtown venue’s capacity from 18,627 to 20,438 after the first season. In 2013, the club earned an 11-1-5 overall regular-season home record in 17 games, which was the best home record in MLS.

HEAD COACH CALEB PORTER A leading candidate for MLS Coach of the Year, Caleb Porter was named the Timbers head coach on Aug. 29, 2012, and joined the club following seven seasons as the head coach at the University of Akron (2006-12). Porter helped lead the Timbers to a dramatic turnaround in just one season and the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference with a positive result in 29 of the team’s 34 regular-season matches this year. Under Porter, the Timbers set club record marks in points (57), goals (54) and engineered a 23-point turnaround from 2012. The team set a club-record, 15game unbeaten stretch from March 16-June 23. A two-time MLSsoccer.com Coach of the Week (Week 6, Week 9), Porter set the MLS record for a first-year head coach with 15 straight undefeated games. Porter also guided the club to a 15-game home unbeaten streak during the regular season. Porter built Akron men’s soccer into a perennial national championship contender, leading the Zips to five consecutive trips to the NCAA tournament’s Round of 16 (2008-12), back-to-back NCAA College Cup appearances in 2009 and 2010, and the school’s first national title in any sport in 2010. In all, he guided Akron to seven Mid-American Conference (MAC) regular-season championships and five MAC Tournament titles. Porter set multiple NCAA records at Akron, including a 48-match, home unbeaten streak (44-0-4) from 2008-11 and a 47-match unbeaten streak (44-0-3) in conference play from 2006-12. From Kalamazoo, Mich., Porter garnered numerous honors while at Akron, including NSCAA National Coach of the Year in 2009. He was a three-time NSCAA All-Ohio Coach of the Year (2008-09, 2011) and received MAC Coach of the Year honors six straight years from 2007-12. Porter became the fastest coach in program history to reach 100 career wins, accomplishing the feat in just 126 matches. He is also among the fastest all-time in NCAA history to the century mark, reaching the milestone in fewer games than collegiate Hall of Fame and current MLS coaches Bruce Arena (140; Virginia) and Sigi Schmid (136; UCLA). While at Akron, Porter recruited and developed more than a dozen Zips players who have gone on to professional careers, many plying their trade in Major League Soccer. He had an MLS-record five former players selected in the first round of the 2011 MLS SuperDraft and seven selected overall that year. Under Porter’s guidance, Portland’s Darlington Nagbe and former Akron standout Teal Bunbury were recipients of the MAC Hermann Trophy, awarded to the nation’s top collegiate player. Porter also served as the head coach of the U.S. U-23 Men’s National Team during 2012 CONCACAF Olympic qualifying and spent three years as an assistant coach on the U.S. U-18 National Team from 2009-11. Prior to joining Akron, Porter was an assistant coach for six years (2000-05) at Indiana University, helping the school make six NCAA tournament appearances, win back-to-back national championships in 2003 and 2004 and claim five Big Ten Conference titles. As a player, Porter was the 27th overall pick by the San Jose Clash in the 1998 MLS College Draft. He spent time with San Jose and the Tampa Bay Mutiny before a knee injury ended his playing career in 2000. Porter also played for the U.S. National B Team from 1996-97, winning a bronze medal at the 1997 World University Games. He had a successful collegiate playing career at Indiana, where he was a three-year captain, a threetime All-Big Ten honoree and a four-year letter winner. Porter led the Hoosiers to four conference titles, four NCAA tournament appearances – twice advancing to the College Cup. As a senior, Porter captained IU to 23 consecutive wins before losing to eventual national champion UCLA in the national semifinals and was the runner-up for the 1997 Hermann Trophy. Porter graduated from Indiana in 1998 with a degree in sports management. He and his wife, Andrea, have three children – two sons, Colin and Jake, and a daughter, Stella Jane.
MATCH DAY PREVIEW Sunday’s second leg of the Western Conference Championship marks the deciding match of the series between the Timbers and Real Salt Lake. Trailing by two goals on aggregate following the first leg at Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, Utah, the Timbers can tie the series by outscoring Real Salt Lake by two goals on Sunday – thus sending the aggregate-goals series to overtime, and if needed, penalty kicks to decide the winner. If Portland defeats Real Salt Lake by a three-goal margin, the Timbers will advance to MLS Cup for the first time in just their third year as an MLS club. Real Salt Lake, the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference, defeated two-time defending MLS Cup champion LA Galaxy 2-1 on aggregate in the Western Conference semifinals. Trailing 1-0 after the first leg, Real Salt Lake tallied the series-winning goal in overtime of a 2-0 second-leg win on Nov. 7. Head coach Jason Kreis’ squad earned a 4-2 win over Portland in the first leg of the Western Conference Championship on Nov. 10 at Rio Tinto Stadium.
REAL SALT LAKE AT PORTLAND TIMBERS SUNDAY, NOV. 24, 2013 REGULAR-SEASON SERIES NOTES Sunday’s second leg of the Western Conference Championship between Portland and Real Salt Lake marks the sixth time the two clubs will meet this season across all competitions. The sides squared off three times during the MLS regular-season schedule, went toe-to-toe in the semifinals of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, and met in the first leg of the Conference final on Nov. 10. Portland, which held Real Salt Lake without a shot on goal in a scoreless draw Oct. 19 in the Timbers’ regular-season home finale at JELD-WEN Field, compiled a 0-1-2 mark against Real Salt Lake during the regular season. The two sides faced off for the first time in 2013 in the semifinals of the U.S. Open Cup at Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, Utah, on Aug. 7. An early goal from RSL forward Álvaro Saborío gave the home side momentum. RSL added a second goal in the 78th minute before Timbers midfielder Diego Valeri trimmed the lead with a goal in the 90th minute. It wasn’t enough as Portland was eliminated from the tournament. In regular-season play, Portland played host to RSL for the first time on Aug. 21. Holding a 3-2 lead at JELD-WEN Field, the Timbers conceded the game-tying goal to Real Salt Lake in the third minute of second-half stoppage time. Just nine days later, the Timbers traveled to Real Salt Lake and sustained a 4-2 loss after a red card to Timbers midfielder Ben Zemanski at the stroke of halftime changed the course of the game with Portland trailing 2-1 at that point.
LAST TIME VS. REAL SALT LAKE The Timbers received an early goal from midfielder Will Johnson and a late strike four minutes into second-half stoppage time from forward Frederic Piquionne, but fell 4-2 to Real Salt Lake on the road in Leg 1 of the Western Conference Championship of the 2013 MLS Cup Playoffs on Nov. 10 at Rio Tinto Stadium. Portland captured its first-ever lead at Rio Tinto Stadium when Johnson struck on a free kick in the 14th minute. But Real Salt Lake answered with four straight goals, led by midfielder Javier Morales with one goal and two assists and forward Robbie Findley’s goal and an assist, to take a 4-1 lead in the 83rd minute. The Timbers pulled one back four minutes into second-half stoppage time on a driven header by Piquionne to cut the deficit in the game and series to two goals. It was the first loss for the Timbers in 11 matches between the regular season and playoffs; the club’s last loss was Aug. 30. Portland goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts finished with four saves, including a diving save in the 82nd minute to derail a flicked on header by Real Salt Lake’s Luis Gil from close range. Midfielder Diego Valeri also made a goal-line stop in the 38th minute. Portland Timbers 2, Real Salt Lake 4 Nov. 10, 2013 at Rio Tinto Stadium (Sandy, Utah) Att: 17,333

REAL SALT LAKE AT PORTLAND TIMBERS SUNDAY, NOV. 24, 2013 SCOUTING REAL SALT LAKE Real Salt Lake is making its fourth appearance in the conference finals since 2008 and its sixth consecutive trip to the postseason. Head coach Jason Kreis’ squad defeated the back-to-back defending MLS Cup-champion LA Galaxy 2-1 on aggregate with a 2-0 win on Nov. 7 at Rio Tinto Stadium. RSL finished the regular season as the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference. In the postseason, midfielder Javier Morales leads the club with five points (1g, 3a) and defender Chris Schuler has a team-leading two goals after scoring none in 16 appearances during the regular season.
PLAYOFF DEBUTS Setting the 1996 season aside when all clubs were in their first season, the Timbers are the fifth team to advance to the conference finals in their postseason debut. Three of the four previous teams: Colorado (1997), Chicago (1998) and Houston (2006) reached MLS Cup with Chicago and Houston winning it all. Real Salt Lake (2008) advanced to the conference finals in their postseason debut, as well.
LAST FOUR STANDING For the first time in MLS Cup Playoffs history, all four head coaches (Caleb Porter, Jason Kreis, Peter Vermes and Dominic Kinnear) leading teams in the Conference Championships are former MLS players.
PRECISION PASSING Breaking down the passing numbers from the 2013 regular season, the Timbers place five players among the top 50 passers in the league. Midfielder Diego Chara was Portland’s highest finisher, placing sixth in the league by completing 86.36 percent of his 1,605 total passes. With Chara, midfielder/forward Darlington Nabge was 11th (85.45 percent), midfielder Will Johnson ranked 17th (84.92), and defenders Jack Jewsbury (80.82) and Michael Harrington (80.77) were 46th and 47th, respectively.
HOME DOMINANCE The Timbers haven’t lost a game at home since March 9, a span of 16 straight games including the postseason, but the team’s home dominance against Western Conference opponents dates back even further. Portland last conceded defeat at home to a Western Conference foe on July 28, 2012 - a streak of 17 straight unbeaten games at home against Western Conference opponents.
UNBEATEN RUN(S) The Timbers recorded two of the top-five longest unbeaten streaks during the 2013 regular season. They logged a league-best, 15-game unbeaten streak from March 16-June 23, and an eight-game unbeaten streak (Sept. 7-Oct. 26), which tied for fourth-longest in the 2013 regular season.
DRAMATIC TURNAROUND The Timbers had a marked improvement in 2013. When compared to 2012, Portland earned a 23-point improvement in points and a 43-goal improvement in goal differential, which ranks as the biggest turnaround in MLS history. Portland also conceded 23 fewer goals than the 2012 season and led the league with a plus-21 goal differential.
MAN IN THE MIDDLE Timbers midfielder Diego Valeri set MLS club single-season records with 10 goals and 13 assists during the regular season. Valeri’s 13 assists ranked first overall in MLS and placed him in a tie for fourth for the most assists by a firstyear MLS player all-time. Valeri’s 33 points placed him tied for ninth all-time on the Timbers single-season points list while his 13 assists are second only to John Bain’s 14 assists during the 1980 NASL season.
IRON MAN Timbers midfielder/forward Darlington Nagbe has started a Timbers MLS-club record 48 straight regular-season games for the team dating back to the 2012 MLS season. In fact, Nagbe has played in 67 of the team’s 68 regular-season games since the start of the 2012 season. Nagbe is the club’s MLS career leader with 17 goals and 95 regular-season appearances.
BALANCED OFFENSE The Timbers set an MLS record in 2013 with four different players - Will Johnson, Ryan Johnson, Darlington Nagbe and Diego Valeri - recording nine or more goals during the regular season. Valeri led the team with 10 goals, while all the others finished with nine apiece. Rodney Wallace wasn’t too far behind the group with seven goals this season. In the postseason, Portland has received seven goals from six different players in three matches.
CLEAN SHEETS The Timbers posted a league-high 15 shutouts during the regular season, including five in their last six games prior to the MLS Cup Playoffs. The club’s total is tied for third-most in MLS history for shutouts in a single season with Real Salt Lake in 2010 and Sporting Kansas City in 2012.
NOTABLE COMEBACKS The Timbers overcame two-goal deficits twice during the regular season. Portland trailed 3-1 at halftime against New York in the season opener and erased that deficit, scoring twice in the second half for a 3-3 draw at JELD-WEN Field. Just a couple weeks later on the road, the Timbers canceled out a 2-0 hole against Colorado at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Midfielder Will Johnson tallied goals in the 55th and 71st minutes to bring Portland level for a 2-2 draw on March 30.
SETTING RECORDS The Timbers set the all-time MLS record for most home shutouts with their 11th of the season in a scoreless draw against Real Salt Lake on Oct. 19. FC Dallas and the LA Galaxy previously recorded 10 home shutouts during the 2010 MLS season.
CONSISTENCY Portland has started the same lineup in each of its first three playoff games. Including the regular season, the same defensive combination of goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts and defenders Jack Jewsbury, Futty Danso, Pa Modou Kah and Michael Harrington have started nine straight games.
TWO-GOAL WINS The Timbers registered four wins at home by two or more goals and six overall during the regular season. Portland registered a shutout in all six wins.
ON THE NATIONAL STAGE The Timbers know how to put on a show for national television - combining with opponents for an average of 3.09 goals per game on national broadcasts since the 2011 season. During the 2013 regular season and playoffs, the Timbers have earned an 9-3-2 record in national television broadcasts.

When MF Sebastian Velasquez and DF Chris Schuler each scored in the 2-0 win over Los Angeles on Nov. 7, RSL boasted an extremely diverse group of 18 players who have found the back of the net across all competitions in 2013 – one more than the 17 that several MLS teams have seen over the years, according to Elias Sports Bureau ...
STEPPING UP IN THE SPOTLIGHT:
The 4 goals scored by RSL in the first leg was the highest total in a 90-minute MLS playoff game since Chicago scored 4 at DC in an East Semi in 2005 … San Jose famously scored 5 goals in 96 minutes against LA in 2003, while the high-scoring 2002 MLS Cup Playoffs saw 4 occasions where 4 or more goals were scored by one team in 90 minutes (LA had 5 against KC in their Semi series) ...
The Velasquez goal was his first as a professional, while Schuler’s set-piece goals in Leg 2 v LA and Leg 1 v PDX give him the distinction of becoming the first RSL player to score in back-to-back playoff games since FW Robbie Findley back in 2009 ... The Velasquez goal gave RSL its first-ever lead during any of the previous home elimination games it had faced in recent years, while the Schuler goal in OT1 made up for the disallowed Javier Morales free kick in the 84’ ...
ROLLIN’ 4X4 v TIMBERS - AGAIN:
Findley’s goal against Portland in the first leg of this series gave him five all-time postseason goals for RSL, extending his team lead ...
The four goals by four different players - DF Chris Schuler, FW Robbie Findley, FW Devon Sandoval and MF Javier Morales - marked the 2nd time this season that RSL saw a 4-2 win over Portland at Rio Tinto Stadium with a goal-scoring quartet ... Back on August 30, RSL saw four goals by four different players in the 4-2 home win (MF Luis Gil, FW Joao Plata, Morales & FW Alvaro Saborio), a feat also accomplished by RSL in U.S. Open Cup play (a 5-2 home win over Charleston - Plata, Morales, Sandoval & MF Khari Stephenson) ... RSL saw 4 different players score in the same game three times in the 2010 season, including most recently on Sept. 15 in a 4-1 home CCL win over Toronto (Saborio, Beckerman, Olave & Paulo Junior) ... Back in April, 2009, RSL saw 6 different players score in the 2nd half of a 6-0 home win over NE, in the most prolific and diverse scoring period in club history ...
YET ANOTHER FINAL FOR KREIS/LAGERWEY:

DEJA VU - RSL 2ND LEG HISTORY:
RSL has played this game before and can tap into its knockout history for inspiration ... Back in April 2011, in CONCACAF Champions League play, RSL defeated FW Alvaro Saborio’s former Costa Rican club Saprissa, 2-0, at Rio Tinto Stadium in the first leg, and ventured to San Jose, Costa Rica for the decisive road leg – on turf, in a hostile environment - and rode an early 2ndhalf equalizer by Jamison Olave to a 3-2 series win on aggregate … Seven of RSL’s current roster members appeared in that game, as Nick Rimando, Nat Borchers, Chris Wingert, Kyle Beckerman, Javier Morales, Ned Grabavoy and Saborio played that day at “The Purple Monster” (Saprissa’s downtown San Jose, Costa Rica stadium named “El Monstruo Morado”) ... In the MLS Cup Playoffs in 2011, RSL rode a 3-0 home win over Seattle - paced by a Saborio brace (the only multi-goal game in RSL’s postseason history) and Ned Grabavoy with what proved to be the series-winner into the 2nd leg at Century Link Field ... The Sounders pressured RSL for 55 scoreless minutes - RSL saved spectacularly by DF Tony Beltran’s goal-line clearance in the first half - before an Osvaldo Alonso PK in the 56’ and a Lamar Neagle goal in the 61’ made for a tense final half-hour on the turf ...
SINGLE-GAME DEFICITS FOR RSL 2013:
With either 90/120 minutes for Portland to reverse the two-goal RSL lead, it is important to remember that RSL has trailed by 3 goals only once in its 42 games across all competitions this season (August 17 at LA, for only 9 minutes), lost by 2 goals on three occasions – March 23 at DAL, April 27 v LA and Sept. 13 at SEA - and overcame an 0-2 deficit in Open Cup play against Charleston before Joao Plata changed the game in the final 30’ - leading RSL to 2 goals in regulation and another 3 in OT for a 5-2 win ...
2ND LEGS AWAY, ON THE OTHER HAND ... :
On the road or at a neutral site, RSL has actually fared quite well in “elimination” games, advancing in 6 out of its previous 7 opportunities - on PKs twice and on aggregate the other four occasions, the only road disappointment coming in the single-elimination 2011 West Final at LA: DATE OPP.

PORTLAND, OR
FAMILIARITY BREEDING CONTEMPT?:
Sunday’s RSL at PDX match will be the clubs’ 6th meeting of the season - after seeing each other 3 times in 24 days back in August - and 3rd at JELD-WEN FIeld, RSL posting a 3-0-2 mark against the Timbers thus far in 2013, outscoring Portland 13-8 across all competitions ... This playoff series will bolster the burgeoning rivalry, as the 6 meetings in a single season sets a new mark for RSL, which saw Seattle 5 times a year ago in regular / postseason play, and played Columbus 4 times in MLS / CONCACAF action in 2011 ... RSL is unbeaten in its last 9 games against Portland, losing the teams’ first-ever meeting 0-1 at JELD-Wen 3 days after dropping the 2011 CONCACAF Champions League Final v Monterrey, a span that includes 7 reg. season games, 1 Open Cup match and Leg 1 of this Playoff series ...
TRADING PLACES : RSL <--> PDX:
Back on August 7, prior to the Open Cup Semifinal, the return of former RSL culture-changer Will Johnson (2008-12) garnered all headlines, but another trio of Timbers once called Utah their MLS home ... FW Ryan Johnson (2006), DF David Horst (2008-10) and DF Rauwshan McKenzie (2010-11) now represent the Rose City ... Ryan Johnson was drafted by RSL back in 2006 out of Oregon State before being traded to Chicago Fire in exchange for DF Jack Stewart, while McKenzie was waived prior to the 2012 season and spent most of the last 18 months with Chivas USA ... Horst was claimed by Portland in the 2011 expansion draft by Portland, which also selected Robbie Findley before trading his rights back to RSL prior to this season ... For RSL, DF Lovel Palmer - the likely starter Sunday in place of veteran Chris Wingert - called Portland home in 2011 and 2012 before being claimed by RSL in last December’s re-entry draft ... Palmer started 30 games for the Timbers after being acquired from the Houston Dynamo, and the former Jamaican National Team player has made 14 starts for RSL this season, mostly during Wingert’s early-season injury woes and Tony Beltran’s US Men’s National Team call-ups during the Gold Cup ...
2012 REWIND: 3-GAME RSL SWEEP of PDX:
A year ago, RSL swept the MLS season series between the clubs, wrapping a pair of one-goal wins over Portland around a dominant 3-0 home win - courtesy of an Alvaro Saborio hat trick, at the time just the 3rd in club history ... That sweep and the Open Cup semi puts RSL at 4-1-4 all-time against PDX across all comps, RSL unbeaten in its last 8 games against the Timbers ... Only one other time in its now 286-game MLS history has RSL seen a 3-game / 9-point sweep, coming this season against Chivas USA ... RSL also went unbeaten in three games with a 2-0-1 mark against San Jose back in 2008 ... RSL also earned 7 points in 2007 against Colorado, but also saw a loss in the clubs’ 4 total meetings that year ...

MORE HISTORY vs TIMBERS:
Back in 2011, RSL failed to defeat the Timbers in either meeting, dropping an 0-1 decision in its first-ever visit to Oregon, a Kenny Cooper header just before halftime dooming RSL 72 hours following the CCL Final loss to Monterrey ... On the final day of 2011, just 72 hours after Portland was eliminated from postseason contention at DC, an 89’ Futty Danso goal salvaged a 1-1 draw for the Timbers at Rio Tinto Stadium ...
MORALES CHOPS DOWN TIMBERS:
RSL maestro Javier Morales had a goal and two assists in the first leg against Portland, giving him three goals and three assists in four games against the Timbers this season ... All-time, the Argentine playmaker has 4 goals and 5 assists in 8 career games against PDX ... The sixth-year MF is one of nine different RSL players to score against Portland this year and one of seven different RSL players to notch an assist over the Timbers this season ... Morales has one goal and three assists for RSL this postseason, hoping to add more Sunday and perhaps Dec. 7 ...
SABORIO THE BOSS OF PORTLAND:
RSL will surely miss the presence of FW Alvaro Saborio - the team’s all-time leading scorer with 66 goals in 114 games across all comps for the Claret/Cobalt - Sunday due to a hip flexor injury suffered in the 110’ of the Nov. 7 match v LA ... Sabo had regained form heading into the Playoffs, scoring his 8th goal in 15 2014 World Cup Qualifiers for his Costa Rican National Team, to go with 13 goals in 19 games (all comps) this season for RSL - the highest strike rate in MLS ... Saborio has 7 goals in 6 games all-time against the Timbers, scoring in each Rio Tinto Stadium meeting this year to go along with his hat trick last July in Utah ... Sabo also scored in Oct. 2011 at the RioT in a 1-1 draw, as well as tallying his lone Jeld-Wen Field score in the 3-2 RSL win in March 2012 ... Saborio scored a short-handed goal for RSL back on Oct. 5 at home v DAL in a return for the first time in over a month of MLS action since a left calf strain suffered during international duty with Costa Rica has caused him to miss RSL losses 9/13 @ SEA and 9/21 v SJ ... Despite playing in just 16 MLS games this season, Saborio had scored 12 goals for a league-leading strike rate of 0.83 per game ... Saborio also had 2 goals in 3 Open Cup games ...
WEST FINAL LEG TWO
JELD-WEN FIELD
PORTLAND, OR
SANDOVAL AS A STARTER:
Saborio’s replacement as the RSL target man up top is rookie FW Devon Sandoval, drafted 29th overall in the most recent MLS SuperDraft out of New Mexico ... With the Albuquerque native in the starting lineup, RSL has posted a 10-3-0 mark this season across all competitions, outscoring opponents 31-15 ... Sandoval scored 3 goals in the reg. season for RSL, led the club with 3 more goals in Open Cup play and was the team’s leading reserve division scorer with 4 goals, prior to his game-winning goal in Leg One of the current playoff series ... The list of Sandoval starts/results: 3/30 Sandoval, Findley W, 2-1 (Findley 1g) 4/6 Sandoval, Saborio L, 0-1 5/4 Sandoval, Plata W, 2-0 (Plata 2a) 5/8 Sandoval, Plata W, 2-1 (Sandoval 1g) 5/11 Sandoval, Garcia L, 2-3 5/19 Sandoval, Plata W, 4-1 (Plata 1g) 5/28 Sandoval, Findley W, 3-2 (Sandoval 1g) 6/12 Sandoval, Garcia W, 5-2 (Sandoval 2g) 6/29 Plata, Sandoval, Garcia W, 1-0 (Garcia 1a) 8/24 Sandoval, Garcia W, 4-0 (Sandoval 1g, Garcia 1a) 9/21 Sandoval, Plata L, 1-2 9/28 Sandoval, Garcia W, 1-0 (Sandoval 1g) 11/10 Sandoval, Findley W, 4-2 (Sandoval 1g, Findley 1g/1a)
When RSL goes with an “abnormal” forward pairing basically, anything other than matching a target guy with a speed option up top in a 4-4-2 - the club posted only a 2-5-2 mark this season ...
FIGURING OUT THE FAKE STUFF:
The Sept. 13 loss @ SEA snapped a 5-game unbeaten run on artificial turf, on which RSL won two weeks later at Vancouver and took a point on Oct. 19 at Portland ... RSL’s greatest glory has come on the fake stuff, winning MLS Cup 2009 in a shootout against LA at what was then known as Qwest Field in Seattle ... In 2011, RSL emerged from two home-and-home knockout series with turf results in the second leg: the 2010/11 CONCACAF Champions League Semifinal series with a 1/2 road loss at Saprissa, courtesy of the valued Jamison Olave road goal; and the MLS Cup Playoffs West Semifinal against Seattle with an 0/2 loss ... All-time, RSL owns a woeful record on turf, as the team is now 7-15-13 in all competitions on fake grass, being outscored 31-58 … This season, RSL was 2-1-3 on turf, with a 2-1 road win at Gillette Stadium at NE sandwiched between a 1-1 draw at Vancouver in April, the August 3-3 draw at Portland, prior to the 0-2 Seattle debacle, the late Sept. 1-0 win at VAN and the 0-0 draw against the Timbers in late Oct. ...
REAL SALT LAKE 4 : 2 @ PORTLAND TIMBERS SUNDAY NOV. 24 2013

TAKING THE SHOW ON THE ROAD:
RSL owned 22 of its 56 reg. season points in 2013 courtesy of a 6-7-4 road mark, matching the club’s 6-7-4 (22 point) mark on the road in MLS play in 2012, setting a new club record for road points for the historically road-weary side ... RSL - along with PDX (+3) and Kansas City (+3) - was one of 3 MLS clubs in 2013 to own an even or positive goal +/- away from home, with an MLS-high 26 road goals (nearly 50% of the season total) ...
MORE ROAD PERSPECTIVE:
The Oct. 19 road draw at PDX improved RSL’s all-time MLS reg. season road mark to 31-77-35 (.409; 145 GF / 226 GA) through 143 all-time road contests in League play … Since Jason Kreis took over in May, 2007, RSL’s MLS road mark is slowly rising at 27-53-30, meaning that RSL earns a road point over 50% of the time under Jason’s guidance ...
HISTORIC ROAD WINS IN 2013:
Back on July 13, Jason Kreis’ team weathered the early storm at Dallas to record a 3-0 road win, breaking its “Texas Hex” to win on Lone Star soil for the first time ever in 23 attempts, courtesy of a Javier Morales game-winning goal, heroics from Josh Saunders and Jeff Attinella in the net and insurance strikes from Ned Grabavoy & Olmes Garcia ... RSL has won 5 of its last 10 away from home (at TOR, at CHV, at NE and at DAL, with only stoppage-time stunners at MTL and at NY shocking RSL), also snapping its Canadian “donut” during the stretch, winning on June 29 in Toronto ... RSL has still never won in Washington, D.C. (9 MLS or Open Cup attempts), Philadelphia (3 draws) or Houston (0-8-1 all-time) ... RSL’s 5-win total on the road so far this season equals the 2011 mark and bests every year except 2012, while the 17-point total is better than any of the 2005-09 campaigns and just one win shy of the 2010/11 records of 19 points ... The new team mark of 6 road wins last year was one better than in 2011, exceeding the four achieved in 2010, and more than doubling the two earned in each of the 2007-09 seasons …
BOUNCING BACK FROM TWO-WEEK BREAKS:
Sunday’s match is the club’s sixth game after a twoweek break in the last two seasons, RSL posting a 2-1-2 mark in similar situations in 2012/13 in MLS and CCL action ... Earlier this year, RSL lost 0-2 at Seattle (on Sept. 13) and drew 0-0 at Portland (Oct. 19) after two-week schedule breaks ... A year ago, RSL won against Dallas (3-2), won at Tauro FC in Panama (1-0) and drew at Seattle (0-0) after extended time off ...

HOME DEMONS EXORCISED?:
The 2-0 Leg 2 home win over two-time defending MLS Cup champion Los Angeles was an emotional victory which marked a significant breakthrough for RSL to capture a series-clincher at home, cutting loose the albatross of no fewer than six previous losses in playoff series 2nd legs or Cup finals at Rio Tinto Stadium ... This year’s October 1st 0-1 loss in the 100th LHUSOC Final was eerily reminiscent of 0-1 home losses in the 2008 West Final and the 2011 CONCACAF Champions League Final, Jason Kreis’ club unable to overcome late first-half goals despite dominating possession, hitting posts and dictating tempo ... The breakthrough against the two-time defending MLS Cup champions came in RSL’s 14th HOME elimination game in the club’s five-year history at Rio Tinto Stadium, advancing only once each in CONCACAF Champions League and Open Cup annals (prior to 2013) ... RSL had failed to win in 3 prior MLS Cup Playoff elimination games at home ... Excluding the 4 early-round games in this year’s Open Cup run, RSL now has a 3-5-2 home record in elimination games ...

RSL ATTACK REBOUNDS v LA:
When 2nd-year MF Sebastian Velasquez headed home a Chris Wingert offering in the 2nd leg v LA, that header from the 5’-5” playmaker snapped RSL’s playoff scoreless streak at 370 minutes, dating back to Grabavoy’s series-winner v SEA back in 2011 Semi Leg One ... Prior to that Nov. 7th 120-minute affair, RSL had scored only 4 goals in its last 8 games across all comps since Sept. 1, suffering 5 shutouts and the only multi-goal game coming in the 2013 season finale at home against Chivas ... RSL’s West-leading 57-goal attack went missing in Sept. / Oct., scoring just four goals and posting a 2-3-2 record since the 4-2 home win over Portland back on August 30 ... That critical game marked the fourth consecutive match (across all competitions) that RSL had reached the 2+ goal threshold, as well as in five of six matches, 8 of 10 and 19 of its last 23 matches dating from May 1 - Sept. 1 ... Since losing at home on April 27 to Los Angeles (0-2), RSL had posted a 15-4-4 record across league and Open Cup play during a red-hot Summer ... In that span, RSL outscored opponents 57-31 ...

RARE STRUGGLES AT RIO TINTO STADIUM:
Prior to that Chivas win to close out the season, RSL was winless in its prior three games at Rio Tinto Stadium, dropping one-goal games at home to San Jose (Sept. 21, 1-2 loss) and D.C. United (Oct. 1, 0-1 loss in Open Cup Final) before earning a 1-1 draw v Dallas on Oct. 5 in a game that saw RSL play with only 10 men for the final 75 minutes ... RSL had a pair of 3-game winless streaks at home a year ago, the most damaging being the late-season run that saw a 0-0 home draw knock the club from its CONCACAF group, a harmless 0-0 draw against Vancouver to close the regular season and the 0-1 playoff loss to Seattle ... While the Open Cup Final loss at home this season was the club’s 4th in all competitions, Jason Kreis’ team now owns a 16-4-4 mark (50/24 GF/GA), RSL still boasting a 76-16-23 mark in its last 115 home games dating back to the beginning of 2008, Kreis’ first full season ... In that span, RSL has outscored opponents by 135 goals (220-85), with a 59-12-25 reg. season mark (176/67), 6-1-1 CCL record (17/5), 5-1-1 playoffs (11/4), 5-2-0 Open Cup (16/9) and 2-0-1 int’l exhibition (5/2) ... All-time, RSL is now 74-32-38 in MLS regular-season play during 9 seasons at home, outscoring opponents 236-140 ...
LONGEST ACTIVE POSTSEASON STREAK:
RSL’s current streak of 6 consecutive MLS Cup Playoff berths is the longest active run of postseason competition, with only NE having a longer run of 8 consecutive years and NY 6 since 2000 ... Only the triumvirate of Western elite RSL, Seattle and Los Angeles have advanced to Playoffs each of the last five seasons ...
RAREFIED AIR OF SUSTAINED SUCCESS:
The Sept. 29 win @ VAN put RSL at both the 15-win and 50-point plateaus for the FOURTH consecutive season, something no MLS club had accomplished in the postshootout era (LA Galaxy 2010-13 joined RSL with a lateseason win over Montreal) ... D.C. United’s 2005/06/07 teams, as well as Los Angeles Galaxy 2010/11/12 joined RSL 2010-12 as the only teams to have put together three straight 15-win / 50-point seasons ...
HOW DOES 2013 COMPARE?:
A year ago, RSL set a new club record for wins in a season (with 17) and saw Jason Kreis’ team capture a franchisehigh 57 points, surpassing the 56 captured during the 2010 30-game season ... The team’s record points-pergame average of 1.87 set in 2010 was unassailable, while 2013 saw RSL establish a club mark for goals scored, 2nd only to NY in 2013 ...

DF Nat Borchers, MF Javier Morales and DF Chris Wingert have each appeared in 1300+ minutes, missing games due to injury/suspension in the last six postseasons ...
RIMANDO FIRST TO 200 CAREER GAMES:
RSL GK Nick Rimando made his 200th career MLS regular-season appearance for the Claret/Cobalt Oct. 19 in Portland, becoming the first player in the club’s nine seasons to reach the bicentennial mark ... Rimando also has 15 CONCACAF, 14 playoff and 3 US Open Cup appearances for the team, which acquired him from New York just prior to the 2007 season ... Former RSL MF Andy Williams - now the team’s Head Scout - was the previous appearance leader for RSL, with 189 games played from 2005-11 for the Utah club, while current Captain Kyle Beckerman, DF Nat Borchers and DF Chris Wingert each have 170+ reg. season games played for the club ... Rimando’s win in the final regular-season match against Chivas gave the 2013 MLS GK of the Year candidate and everyone’s “homeboy” 85 RSL wins and a total of 72 clean sheets for the Utah side in reg. season play ... The Nov. 10 win over POR was Rimando’s 7th in 17 postseason matches for RSL, and while his 6th clean sheet for the Claret/Cobalt came 3 days earlier v LA ...

WALL OF THE WASATCH NICKY RIMANDO:
RSL GK Nick Rimando preserved the 3 points on May 8 by denying a Saer Sene PK during stoppage time @NE, with a yellow card accompanying an apparent handball in the box inadvertently given to the wrong player (DF Carlos Salcedo), resulting in a sending off for the 19year old Academy product, who was cautioned for a high boot in the first half ... The saved PK was the 2nd in a span of 4 games for Rimando - he stopped Mejia in the first half of the April 20 1-0 win over Chivas ... Rimando, who extended his all-time MLS PK “denial” record to 19 career stops, has held opposing PK takers to just 41-for-60 against the former DC/MIA and current RSL netminder ... Overall, RSL ‘keepers have allowed opponents to convert only 26-of-37 attempts, with GK Nick Rimando - Major League Soccer’s most successful PK stopper - making 10 of the 11 all-time RSL stonings ... Former RSL GK Scott Garlick denied one attempt in 2006 (of the 2 he faced that season) ...
DIAMOND DEPARTURES FORTUITOUS:
For the 2nd time in 3 games back on July 13 in Dallas, RSL boss Jason Kreis rolled out an alternative to his preferred 4-4-2 diamond formation, RSL employing a 4-2-3-1 ... In the midfield, Javier Morales was flanked by both Luis Gil and Sebastian Velasquez ahead of D-mids Ned Grabavoy & Yordany Alvarez, with Robbie Findley deployed as a lone striker up top ... Two weeks earlier, on June 29 in Toronto, choosing to put a pair of D-mids - Captain Kyle Beckerman and understudy Alvarez - behind playmaker Morales, with two speedy wingers - Joao Plata & Olmes Garcia - on either side of target man Devon Sandoval ... These departures from the 4-4-2 diamond that has become Kreis’ RSL signature are the club’s first different looks to start a game since July, 2011, in an 0-1 loss at Dallas ... With MF Yordany Alvarez suspended Aug. 17 v HOU, the idea of pairing a D-mid next to a well-traveled and potentially exhausted Beckerman becomes more difficult ... In a 4-2-1-3 rollout at home, Kreis did place Grabavoy next to Beckerman and put Plata & Garcia on either side up high next to Alvaro Saborio, the Costa Rican converting a 38’ PK for the game’s only goal, improving RSL to a perfect 3-0-0 when Kreis departs from the diamond ... That record of perfection crashed to a halt in Playoff Leg One at LA, when RSL went to a 4-5-1 with Beckerman/ Alvarez holding and Sabo on an island up top in an 0-1 loss ...

By deploying that new-look 4-3-3 at home v HOU in mid-August, the formation marked Jason Kreis’ 12th different strike tandem in now 42 MLS/Open Cup games:

RIMANDO CLEAN SHEET / ASSIST COMBO:
In that home match v VAN on May 4, RSL took the early 2nd-half lead when GK Nick Rimando watched a Nigel Reo-Coker free kick sail over his goal and quickly restarted play with a pinpoint goal kick, finding FW Joao Plata wide right 60 yards upfield ... Plata took a few touches and sent a cross onto the head of MF Luis Gil for the U.S. U-20 star’s second tally of the season ... The game-winning assist was Rimando’s 4th of his career and the 7th all-time helper in his 14th season ... However, May 4 v VAN marked only the second time the veteran combined a shutout - the 102nd of his career with a game-winning assist (8/8/09, 1-0 v SEA) ...

RSL (USUALLY) CELEBRATES IF SABO SCORES:
RSL’s all-time leading scorer, Costa Rican int’l FW Alvaro Saborio, has 11 goals in only 14 MLS appearances of the season ... After the hat trick @NY in late July, Sabo earned MLS Player of the Week accolades after missing extended periods of time due to World Cup Qualifying, Gold Cup and injuries ... Despite the heartbreak of the 3-4 loss at NY, RSL still owns a dominating 35-6-9 all-time record in all comps when Sabo scores ... The 4th-year MLS player joins Kreis (2005 Open Cup) and Robbie Findley (2009 MLS) as the lone “hat trick heroes” in RSL’s nine-year, 334-game history across all competitions ... In all comps, Sabo now owns a team-record 66 goals in 111 games, w/ 21 gamewinning goals and 15 multi-goal matches (17 and 20 in 93 MLS games) ... Prior to last year’s Aug. 18 1-2 L v DAL, the two most recent losses when Sabo finds the back of the net were against LA, June 20 of last year and also in the 2011 West Final at LA ... The only loss prior to 9/24/11 at DC was the rain-soaked 4-5 loss at Cruz Azul in Aug. 2011 ... RSL is only 19-28-17 when Sabo plays and does not score, but 17-8-6 when he is unavailable due to suspension, injury or national team duty since his arrival in 2010 …
TICO SABO NO LONGER PERFECT ON PKS ...
On April 6 @COL, RSL’s all-time leading scorer & Costa Rican international Alvaro Saborio saw his 8’ PK attempt saved by Rapids GK Clint Irwin, snapping Sabo’s 12-for-12 streak of perfection from the spot ... In an RSL uniform, Sabo is now 11-for-12 in MLS games after beating Dynamo GK Tally Hall on Saturday, with a 4-for-4 mark in CONCACAF Champions League ... RSL’s last PK miss was 12 attempts earlier than that April 6 miss @COL, as FW Robbie Findley saw his spot kick on Sept. 9, 2010, saved @SEA by GK Kasey Keller in an eventual 0-0 draw ... All-time, RSL is now 33-for-38 from the 12-yd spot ... In addition to Saborio (2013) and Findley (2010), other RSL players to fail to convert are Javier Morales (2008), Alecko Eskandarian (2007) and Andy Williams (2006) ...
... BUT OPEN CUP HISTORY FROM SPOT IS:
With both Joao Plata and Javier Morales converting from the spot in the June 12 5-2 win over Charleston, RSL continues its perfect 6-for-6 penalty kick conversion rate in Open Cup play ... Joining the active duo are Will Johnson (1-for-1), Jason Kreis (1-for-1) and Jeff Cunningham (2-for-2) ...

LATE-GAME HEROICS MAKE RSL “BELIEVE”:
For the 2nd time in 2 months, RSL scored a shorthanded goal at the death to earn a point, this time watching MF Cole Grossman slot a one-timer inside the near post to silence the Timbers Army on August 21 ... On Nov. 7, RSL won for the first time in extra time, as DF Chris Schuler avoided the shootout with a 97’ goal (2 previous playoff games went to PKs) ...

MORE MULTI-GOAL MADNESS:
In 112 MLS/CCL/Open Cup/Playoff games, Saborio’s total of 15 multi-goal matches more than doubles the total of #2 Jeff Cunningham (5) and Javier Morales/ Robbie Findley/Fabian Espoindola with 4 “braces” each, while “Sabo” owns the club’s lone postseason multi-goal match, coming Fall 2011 against SEA in the West Semis ... Other RSL players to score 2+ goals: Movsisyan and Kreis (2x each), along with Paulo Junior, Will Johnson, Kyle Beckerman, Atiba Harris, Chris Brown and now Ned Grabavoy and Olmes Garcia, who have each also scored 2x in a game …
THE MYTHICAL “FIRST-CHOICE XI”:
While Kreis started the same XI in back-to-back games to open 2013, it hadn’t happened in 13 consecutive games until home games against SJ & LA in early June ... RSL rolled out the same XI just 4 times out of 41 games across all competitions last season ... How rare are back-to-back lineup duplicates for RSL? It happened only once in 45 games in 2011 (Aug 6/13) and just twice in 41 games in 2010 (June 25/July 2; July 31/Aug 7) ... Due to injuries, cards, suspensions and national-team duty a year ago, RSL boss Jason Kreis fielded his “firstchoice” starting XI for only 59 minutes last season back on May 5, a 2-1 home win over New England, a victory marred by the Will Johnson red card in the 59’ ... That occasion - the first of the year and only time in 34 MLS games in 2012, besides the July 31 CCL match at Herediano - came on nearly the one-year anniversary of the last regular-season occurance, May 7, 2011, when RSL saw Javier Morales chopped down from behind and lost until late Sept. with a horrifically broken ankle ... Could we see the same lineup Sunday that we did 2 weeks ago at Rio Tinto Stadium? ...

The Houston Dynamo and Sporting Kansas City kicked off their third meeting in the MLS Cup Playoffs in as many seasons with a scoreless draw in the first leg at BBVA Compass Stadium. The Dynamo looked to have opened the scoring in the 18th minute when Kofi Sarkodie snuck behind the SKC backline and hit the back of the net, but the offside flag was up and the goal ruled out. Sporting goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen was called upon to make three saves, including a stop from a curling free kick by Boniek Garcia in the first half which was repelled by a diving block. Dynamo goalkeeper Tally Hall was credited with two saves, his biggest in the 57th minute when Teal Bunbury worked his way through the Dynamo defense, only for his but his shot to be stuffed.

Real Salt Lake took a massive step toward a second MLS Cup appearance with a 4-2 win against the Portland Timbers in the first leg at Rio Tinto Stadium. The visitors were in the lead just 13 minutes into the game when Will Johnson struck a knuckling, dipping free kick from 25 yards out that sailed past RSL goalkeeper Nick Rimando. But Real were level in the 35th minute when Javier Morales set in a corner that defender Chris Schuler to head home from the area, then they took lead the in the 41st minute when Robbie Findley exploited a misplay by Portland center back Futty Danso to strike home from inside the area. RSL took a 3-1 lead just three minutes into the second half. After being freed by Morales on the right, Findley centered for Devon Sandoval, who held off a defender before sending the ball home from close range. Morales made it 4-1 in the 82nd minute when he stooped to head home a corner kick from Joao Plata. But Portland grabbed a pivotal goal back in the 94th minute when substitute Frederic Piquionne thumped in a header from a Jack Jewsbury cross.

The Houston Dynamo once again reached the conference championship, overcoming the Supporters' Shield-winning New York Red Bulls on their home ground, winning 2-1 in their Eastern Conference Semifinals series second leg and the series on a 4-3 aggregate scoreline. The Red Bulls took the lead in the 23rd minute. Dynamo goalkeeper Tally Hall came out to intercept a Lloyd Sam cross but inexplicably spilled it, allowing Bradley Wright-Phillips to pounce on the loose ball and calmly slot it home. But the Dynamo were level 13 minutes later when Ibrahim Sekagya played an ill-advised pass across the top of the 18-yard box that an opportunistic Brad Davis picked off and slotted home with ease. The Dynamo survived the second half before Omar Cummings again came off the bench for the crucial goal in the 104th minute, turning home from close range after a cross was headed down in the box.

Sporting Kansas City hit for a late series equalizer and scored the extratime winner to book their place in the conference final, defeating the New England Revolution 3-1 in the second leg of the Eastern Conference Semifinal Series, winning the tie 4-3 on aggregate. Aurélien Collin put the hosts into the lead in the 42nd minute, turning home a deflected shot from close range. But the Revolution regained the series lead in the 70th minute when Dimitry Imbongo pounded home a free kick with a fine side volley. Nine minutes Sporting were again improbably level, as left back Seth Sinovic gave his club the lead on the night with a far-post blast after Graham Zusi's headed flick-on. Then after coming on as a late substitute, Claudio Bieler sent SKC through when he stabbed home a centering pass from Benny Feilhaber from the right side of the area in the 113th minute.

The Portland Timbers advanced in their first-ever MLS Cup Playoffs series, dispatching their most hated rival in a 3-2 defeat of Seattle Sounders FC in the second leg of their Western Conference Semifinal, winning 5-3 on aggregate. Returning home with a lead, the Timbers were up by two goals before halftime. Will Johnson converted a penalty in the 29th minute when Djimi Traore was caught for a handball in the box, and just before halftime, Diego Valeri made a decisive run into the area to meet Rodney Wallace’s perfect feed for a sliding goal in the 44th minute. The game seemed over in the 47th minute when Futty Danso snuck behind the defense and got on the end of a Wallace cross from a quick restart for a 3-0 lead. Seattle pulled a goal back on a long throw-in in the 74th minute that skipped through to DeAndre Yedlin, who pounced on the loose ball and fired home. Just two minutes later, Eddie Johnson got on the end of a Yedlin cross to bury a header into the top left corner. But that was all Seattle could muster.

Real Salt Lake reached the Western Conference Championship for the fourth time in six years, putting an end to the LA Galaxy's reign as MLS Cup champions with a 2-0 victory in extra time in the second leg of their semifinal series, winning the tie 2-1 on aggregate. In the 35th minute, midfielder Sebastian Velasquez gave Real the goal they needed to bring the series even on aggregate, heading home a cross from defender Chris Wingert from the left flank past LA goalkeeper Jaime Penedo. The Galaxy could muster just one shot on target, while Real hit the post and crossbar in the second half -- and had a seeming match-winner ruled out by referee Baldomero Toledo. But the winner finally came 12 minutes into extra time. Javier Morales flighted in a free kick from well out o the left and the ball carried all the way to the back post where Chris Schuler came sliding in to turn the ball home. RSL finished out the game with 10 men due to an injury to Alvaro Saborio, but still held out for the triumph.

The Houston Dynamo overcame a two-goal deficit in the second half against a 10-man New York Red Bulls, leaving the teams in a 2-2 draw at BBVA Compass Stadium. The Red Bulls -- who had won all three league meetings between the teams -- were two goals to the good before the game was barely a half-hour old. The opener came in the 22nd minute when Thierry Henry sent in a sublime delivery from the left and Tim Cahill struck with a trademark header. Ten minutes later it was 2-0 after a rapid counterattack that ended when Eric Alexander cut back in the box and fired past Hall. The Dynamo started their comeback in the 51st minute when Ricardo Clark latched on to a poor clearance at the top of the box and skimmed a low shot to the back of the net. Then after Jamison Olave received a red card in the 65th minute from referee Ricardo Salazar for a challenge on Houston striker Omar Cummings, the leveler came in the 90th minute. A Bobby Boswell header from a corner was saved by New York goalkeeper Luis Robles, but the rebound fell right to Cummings and he touched home from almost on the line.

The New England Revolution won their first MLS Cup Playoffs game in four seasons, capturing a 2-1 victory against Sporting Kansas City in the first leg at Gillette Stadium. After weathering a first-half storm, New England scored the opener 10 minutes after the interval. Sporting 'keeper Jimmy Nielsen saved an initial shot from Juan Agudelo from close range, but the effort then deflected toward the goal line where Andy Dorman tucked home from two yards. The Revolution doubled the advantage in the 67th minute. Lee Nguyen played Kelyn Rowe through on the right side of the penalty area, and he finished well with the outside of his foot for a precious second. Sporting reduced the deficit two minutes later after a scramble inside the penalty area when a free kick was partially cleared then sent back toward goal where Aurelien Collin lurked at the back post to tap home from close range.

The Portland Timbers took control of their Western Conference Semifinal Series with a 2-1 win over Seattle Sounders FC at CenturyLink Field in the club's first-ever MLS playoff game. The Timbers opened the scoring solidly against the run of play in the 15th minute. Jack Jewsbury placed an inch-perfect cross from the right corner and Ryan Johnson was able to lose his mark with a run to the near post, slipping a glancing header past Sounders goalkeeper Marcus Hahnemann from a tight angle. The Timbers were able to add a second goal in the 67th minute. Kalif Alhassan found himself unmarked on the right wing and put in an angled pass to Darlington Nagbe. His first touch took his past a defender and then he lethally struck with a right-footed shot inside the back post. Sounders FC did pull a goal back in the 90th minute, when Osvaldo Alonso gave his team a lifeline, pouncing on a ball that had fallen to his feet off a Shalrie Joseph header after a long throw from Brad Evans. But the Timbers held on for their first win ever at CenturyLink Field -- and in fact had never even led in a MLS game in Seattle.

The LA Galaxy claimed the advantage in their Western Conference Semifinal Series following a 1-0 victory against Real Salt Lake in the first leg at StubHub Center. The game's lone goal came just two minutes into the second half. Robbie Keane turned at the byeline on the left and rolled a pass all the way through the penalty area. Sean Franklin, well behind the play, stepped up and hit a rocket from nearly 30 yards out with the outside of his right foot inside the right-hand post. Galaxy goalkeeper Jaime Penedo was called upon to make just two saves in keeping the clean sheet in a game the Galaxy bossed from the outset, though RSL goalkeeper Nick Rimando also saw just two shots on target for the entire evening.

The Houston Dynamo once again cruised through a Knockout Round match, defeating an eight-man Montreal Impact 3-0 at BBVA Compass Stadium. The Dynamo were on top after just the the 16th minute. After Will Bruin played the ball to Ricardo Clark at the top of the box, Clark turned a snazzy backheel in traffic to put Bruin through, and he made no mistake with the ensuing finish past goalkeeper Troy Perkins. Just 11 minutes later the Dynamo doubled the lead. A charging Hernán Bernardello came crashing in to bring down Boniek García in the box for a clear penalty kick, and he stepped up himself to finish his own spot kick home. After Nelson Rivas was shown a second yellow for an elbow on Bruin in the second half, Bruin completed his double in the 71st minute. Corey Ashe hit a ball over the top to Bruin, who outpaced a defender and slipped wide to avoid Perkins before firing home from the top of the box. A late fracas saw Andrés Romero and Marco Di Vaio both sent off by referee Mark Geiger.

Seattle Sounders FC scored early and late and survived a red card to defeat the Colorado Rapids 2-0 at CenturyLink Field. The home side enjoyed the better of the play in the first half and finally broke through in the 28th minute. Leo Gonzalez set off on an overlapping run down the left flank and whipped in a cross that struck the head of a Rapids defender but went right to Brad Evans, who chested it down, lined up his shot and laced it home inside the far post for his first postseason goal since 2008. Sounders FC went down a man in the 85th minute when goalkeeper Michael Gspurning inexplicably came outside of his area to deal with a long clearance and handled it, resulting in a straight red card from referee Silviu Petrescu. But Eddie Johnson eased the home fans' fears when he took a pass from Clint Dempsey inside the penalty area, beat a defender and then fired a left-footed shot inside the near post to seal the match in the 89th minute.
