NEW YORK RED BULLS vs PORTLAND TIMBERS RED BULL ARENA, Harrison, N.J. May 24, 2014 (WEEK 12, MLS Game #106) 7 p.m. ET (MSG+; ROOT-NW) Two teams looking for a buoying victory meet in an interconference clash on Saturday evening when the New York Red Bulls play host to the Portland Timbers at Red Bull Arena. The Red Bulls have lost back-to-back matches, coming off a 2-0 defeat at Toronto FC last weekend. The Timbers have not lost in four games, coming back for a third draw in that time in their last outing, a wild 3-3 tie with the Columbus Crew at Providence Park last weekend. REFEREE: Drew Fischer.

The Red Bulls have won both meetings all-time at Red Bull Arena, including a 3-2 victory in the Timbers’ last visit to Harrison, Aug. 19, 2012. The teams have met twice in Portland and played to 3-3 draws on both occasions, including in the lone meeting between the clubs last season on March 3. Coaches record: Caleb Porter vs. NY: P1 W0 L0 D1 … Mike Petke vs. POR: P1 W0 L0 D1 NEW YORK RED BULLS The New York Red Bulls lost their second game on the trot, falling 2-0 to Toronto FC on Saturday afternoon at BMO Field. The Red Bulls sit in fifth place in the Eastern Conference with 14 points from 12 matches on the season. LAST MATCH TFC took the lead in the 12th minute. From a lightning-quick counter, Bradley Orr slid a perfectly-weighted through ball into the path of Jermain Defoe, and he cracked a rocket of a shot into the top corner of the net, beating Red Bulls goalkeeper Luis Robles. Well into second-half stoppage time Toronto FC finished off the match thanks to a fortuitous bounce. A long clearance from Joe Bendik from his own penalty area was not claimed by Robles as he collided with a teammate at the top of the Red Bulls box, and Luke Moore walked the ball into the open goal to open his TFC account. Red Bulls boss Mike Petke made two changes to the team that fell 5-4 to the Chicago Fire at Red Bull Arena. Bobby Convey and Jonny Steele came into the team with Roy Miller and Tim Cahill away on international duty. NEW YORK RED BULLS (4-4-2): Luis Robles - Kosuke Kimura (Chris Duvall 48), Armando, Jamison Olave, Bobby Convey (Ruben Bover 81) - Lloyd Sam, Dax McCarty, Eric Alexander, Jonny Steele - Bradley WrightPhillips, Thierry Henry. TEAM NEWS The Red Bulls lost back-to-back games for the first time this season, and were shut out at the attacking end for the first time since the 1-0 loss at D.C. United on April 12. They had scored 12 goals over their previous five games. “Urgency, taking better care of the ball, putting ourselves in better situations, yadda yadda,” said Red Bulls head coach Mike Petke. “It’s the same thing for the last couple of weeks. First half is flat, second half is strong. That’s the way it is.” The Red Bulls conceded the opening goal after 12 minutes, their fifth goal allowed in the opening quarter-hour of matches this season – second only to Seattle Sounders FC (6).
MLS GAME INFORMATION
“We shoot ourselves in the foot again the first 10 minutes and then we’re chasing the game,” said midfielder Dax McCarty. “It’s disappointing because you always feel like you can play better, particularly in the midfield. You always want to pass the ball better, you always want to take care of the ball better, and we didn’t do that today, especially in the first half, so it’s frustrating.” “Once again, we concede an early goal. We lost the ball and conceded a counter attack away from home,” said Thierry Henry. “Jermain Defoe took his finish very well but after that I felt we controlled the game. We had a lot of the ball but it just didn’t go our way and again on the counter attack at the end.” With Tim Cahill have joined Australia, Jonny Steele returned to the starting lineup for the first time since April 12, after coming off the substitutes’ bench for five consecutive games. Bobby Convey returned to the team having missed the last six matches entirely, playing the full 90 minutes at left back with Roy Miller having joined Costa Rica. Peguy Luyindula was out of the team for the first time this season, suffering a calf strain. But he could be available for this weekend, instead of what was thought to be a long-term absence. “I would list Peguy as day-to-day,” Petke said. “As soon as he feels up to it and ready to go, we’re going to get him on the field and move on from there. As of now, I list him as day-to-day.”
PORTLAND TIMBERS The Portland Timbers stretched their undefeated streak to four games with yet more late drama, again for a late equalizer for a 3-3 draw with the Columbus Crew on Saturday evening at Providence Park. The Timbers are in a tie for seventh place in the Western Conference with 10 points from 11 games. LAST MATCH The Timbers took the lead in just the fifth minute. Steve Zakuani played a quick ball through to Maximiliano Urruti, who beat Crew goalkeeper Steve Clark to the top netting. But the Crew were in the lead and up a man before halftime. Federico Higuain scored on a cheeky chip shot from 25 yards out in the 14th minute to tie it, then Alvas Powell was sent off in the 34th minute for his tackle on Chad Barson. Then in stoppage time, defender Mamadou Danso was called for a penalty by referee Jose Carlos Rivero when he pulled down Giancarlo Gonzalez on a corner kick, and Higuain easily converted the spot kick. The Timbers had life once again in the 80th minute when Diego Valeri played a long ball into the area that fell to Will Johnson, and he fired home. But from the restart, Higuain fed Ethan Finlay for a shot that deflected off Danso and past Portland goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts to give the Crew back the lead. Then, in the 85th minute, a long free kick by Valeri was headed on by newcomer Fanendo Adi in the box, right to an unmarked Gaston Fernandez who potted an easy tap-in for the dramatic equalizer. Timbers head coach Caleb Porter made three changes to the team that reached a 1-1 draw with the LA Galaxy at Providence Park. Alvas Powell came into the back four for Michael Harrington, Ben Zemanski started in midfield in place of Diego Chara, and Maximiliano Urruti came in up top in pace of Gaston Fernandez. PORTLAND TIMBERS (4-2-3-1): Donovan Ricketts - Alvas Powell (ejected 34), Pa Modou Kah, Mamadou Danso, Jack Jewsbury - Will Johnson, Ben Zemanski (Gaston Fernandez 75) - Darlington Nagbe, Diego Valeri, Steve Zakuani - Maximiliano Urruti (Jorge Villafana 36 / Fanendo Adi 83). TEAM NEWS The Timbers extended their undefeated streak to four games – with a third draw in that time – with the late result against Columbus. It was the Timbers’ seventh tie already this season; they led MLS in 2013 with 15 draws. “It’s not where we want to be, but I guarantee there isn’t a team in the league that wants to face us,” Timbers coach Caleb Porter said. “And it’s for a good reason because even though we’ve only won one game, we’ve only lost three and I think it’s now four games in a row we haven’t been beaten and in the last seven games we’ve only lost one game. I think in terms of points it looks a lot worse than the team we are.” The equalizer came in the 85th minute, the third consecutive game – and fifth time this season – the Timbers had scored the tying or winning goal in the final 10 minutes or stoppage time. “A lot of teams lose that game by three, four, five goals and give up. We played 65 minutes down a man, and then went down a goal on a penalty. Most teams, they call it a day,” said Porter. “But not this team. We’re never going to. We’re always going to keep fighting and keep giving everything we have every single game.” The Timbers have scored 6 goals from the 76th minute onward, tied for fourth-most in MLS this season. They have allowed 8 goals in the same timeframe – also leading MLS. “We don’t give in. We fought for each other today. Everybody did their duty. One of our best attacking players playing left back at one point, doing defensive work because that’s what it means to us, trying to get the win,” said Steve Zakuani. “Unfortunately, right now we’re not picking up wins, but we’re also not losing games. Shortly here, I think around the corner, we’re going to slowly start turning those ones into three points. When you’re playing like that and work as hard as we’re working, your luck starts to change. We have a never-say-die attitude.”
MLS GAME INFORMATION
Gaston Fernández scored his fifth goal of the season, three of those goals, coming as the late equalizer. Fernández has scored three goals over the last four games. “It’s hard to enjoy those goals because they are always to tie the game,” said Fernández. “I did enjoy the one against D.C. [United] because it was the first goal [of the game]. Just for me it’s great to score, and I’m going home happy.” Fanendo Adi made his MLS and Timbers debut, coming on for the final seven minutes – and collected his first MLS assist, on the equalizing goal. Ben Zemanski made his first start of 2014, playing 75 minutes in a central midfield role in place of Diego Chara, who underwent surgery on a fractured hand. Alvas Powell made his first start since April 5, coming in at fullback in place of the injured Michael Harrington. But he will miss the next two matches after his suspension was extended following his sending off by a decision by the MLS Disciplinary Committee.

NEW YORK RED BULLS VS. PORTLAND TIMBERS – MLS REGULAR SEASON – MAY 24, 2014 – 7:00 PM ET
BULLETIN BOARD RED BULLS HOST PORTLAND TIMBERS IN LONE MEETING THIS SEASON This Saturday night, the New York Red Bulls host Western Conference foe, Portland, at Red Bull Arena where they will seek to snap a two-game losing skid and begin a new home undefeated streak. Prior to the 5-4 home loss to Chicago, the Red Bulls had gone undefeated over the previous 13 matches dating back to June 1st of last season. New York is coming off a 2-0 road loss at Toronto. The Red Bulls find themselves in sole possession of fifth place in the Eastern Conference with 14 points from their first 12 games and own a 3-4-5 record. This is just the fifth encounter between Portland and New York since the Timbers entered the league in 2011. Saturday’s game will be a match-up between the two regular season conference winners from 2013. Here are some notes on New York’s match against Portland: - The Red Bulls are coming off a 2-0 road loss at Toronto on May 17. It was the first time New York had been held scoreless since April 12 at D.C. United (the Red Bulls have scored at least one goal in each of their other games). - This is the only meeting between these two teams this season. Last year, the two sides met on opening day with a 3-3 finish. In that match, Fabian Espindola scored two goals in the opening 25 minutes and the Red Bulls were up 3-1 heading into the break. A Darlington Nagbe goal and a late Jamison Olave own goal in the second half resulted in only a point apiece. - Wright-Phillips, the MLS Player of the Week for Week 8, remains alone atop the MLS Golden Boot standings with nine. - Lloyd Sam is in a four-way tie with Espindola, Brad Davis and Javier Morales, for second place in MLS with five assists. - Thierry Henry and Eric Alexander each have four assists on the season and are tied with six others for sixth in the league. - New York is the only team with three players who have at least four assists. They are one of two teams (Seattle) to have at least two players with four or more assists. - Henry has 44 goals and 32 assists in 102 games played since joining the Red Bulls in July 2010. The French playmaker needs four more assists to tie the Red Bulls record for career assists in regular season play (36 – Tab Ramos/Amado Guevara). - Luis Robles, despite having just one save over his previous two matches, leads the league with 42 saves. - Portland is unbeaten over their previous four games (1-0-3) including a scintillating 3-3 draw against Columbus last week. Maximiliano Urruti opened the scoring for the hosts in the 5 th minute but the Timbers were down 2-1 at halftime and played a man down after an Alvas Powell red card. Portland would equalize in the 80th via Will Johnson but Columbus’ Ethan Finlay put his side back in the lead just a minute later. An 85th minute Gastón Fernández goal meant a draw for both teams. - Portland is 1-3-7 this season and 0-3-1 on the road. The Timbers have scored just two goals away from home. - Portland have played three straight home matches and this Saturday will be their first road game since April 27 at Houston. - New York is 0-4-4 when its opponent scores first this season. The team has allowed goals in the opening 16 minutes five times. - The Red Bulls are 2-0-2 all-time against Portland since they entered the league in 2011. In two games at home, New York won both times with five goals scored and two goals conceded. Both games in Portland finished with a 3-3 scoreline. - For Portland, Gastón Fernández leads the team with five goals. Diego Valeri sets the pace with three assists and 33 shots. Keeper Donovan Ricketts has 28 saves this season. - Last season, Portland finished atop the Western Conference with a 145-15 record and Caleb Porter won MLS Coach of the Year. The Timbers lost to Real Salt Lake in the conference finals 5-2 on aggregate. - The last time that Portland came to Red Bull Arena was on August 19, 2012 – a 3-2 Red Bulls victory.
RED BULLS DEFEATED IN TORONTO Toronto FC’s English forward duo of Jermain Defoe and Luke Moore both found the back of the net at chilly BMO Field against the New York Red Bulls to give the Reds a 2-0 win over their Eastern Conference rivals on Saturday afternoon. Defoe’s goal, a sublime top-shelf shot, opened the scoring for Toronto FC, and the score held until second-half injury time, when a fortuitous bounce landed kindly to Moore’s feet, allowing him to open his MLS account and seal the victory for TFC. The first goal came on a lightning-quick counter as New York attempted to play through Toronto FC’s compact formation. Bradley Orr, who had a standout performance as a central midfielder, intercepted a pass and pushed forward, sliding a perfectly-weighted through ball into the path of Defoe's run. Defoe controlled the ball, took four strides forward and cracked a rocket of a shot into the top corner of the net, beating Robles to give TFC a 1-0 lead in the 12th minute of play. Referee Silviu Petrescu doled out three yellow cards in the first half, the first to Thierry Henry in the 6th minute, the next two to Jamison Olave and Justin Morrow as the half dwindled down in testy fashion. Red Bulls coach Mike Petke made an early second-half substitution, Chris Duvall coming in for Kosuke Kimura at right back. Nelsen made his first change 10 minutes later, Moore coming in for Gilberto. New York nearly found an equalizer in the 82nd minute when Henry surged past Alvaro Rey along the left channel and sent a low cross across the box. The pass fell kindly to Bradley Wright-Phillips but New York's red-hot striker an absolute sitter, slamming his shot well over an empty net with goalkeeper Joe Bendik cut out of the play. TFC substitute Dan Lovitz had a similar chance from a similar buildup minutes later, but his shot went wide across the goal. With 10 minutes to go in the match, Petke made his final change, Ruben Bover coming in for Bobby Convey. Defoe and RBNY defender Armando picked up matching yellow cards in the 88th minute after an illtempered confrontation as the game heated up in the dying moments. Five minutes of added time provided Kyle Bekker with an opportunity at scoring but his shot went wide. In the final minute, Moore opened his Toronto FC account with an easy tap-in after Robles failed to claim a bouncing ball.

One of those was the lone goal in the 1-0 victory over FC Dallas and the other three were a part of Wright-Phillips’ second hat trick of the season against Chicago. The English striker now has nine goals on the season, eight over his last five, and finds himself alone atop the MLS Golden Boot race. MLSSoccer.com recognized Wright-Phillips’ efforts, as he was nominated as one of five players to be the MLS Player of the Month for April, as voted on by fans. Seattle’s Clint Dempsey won the award. Wright-Phillips became the first player since Thierry Henry (March 31, 2012 vs. Montreal – 5-2 NY win at Red Bull Arena) to record a hat trick for New York, as the Red Bulls tallied their second-straight win in a 4-0 victory over the Houston Dynamo at Red Bull Arena April 23. WrightPhillips helped stake the Red Bulls to a 2-0 lead before halftime and rounded out his night with a penalty kick goal four minutes from the end of the match. Three days later against the Columbus Crew at Crew Stadium, WrightPhillips found the back of the net again and recorded his team-leading fifth goal of the season. With New York down 1-0, Wright-Phillips was able to control a Lloyd Sam pass and curled it off the right post and into the back of the net to give the Red Bulls a 1-1 tie. On May 10th, Wright-Phillips scored his second hat trick of the season in a 5-4 loss at home to Chicago. His first goal of the night was assisted by Thierry Henry via a cross from the left side which Wright-Phillips onetimed into the back of the net to take the lead for his team heading into halftime. Facing a 5-2 deficit, Wright-Phillips came alive once again. A Jonny Steele cross caromed off Lloyd Sam’s chest and into the path of the Englishman who rocketed home a volley in the 66th minute. Henry was dragged down in the box 12 minutes later and Wright-Phillips secured his hat trick with the PK conversion. New York signed Wright-Phillips on July 24, 2013 and the Englishman went on to record two goals for the Red Bulls (one in the regular season, one in the playoffs). His career started in 2004, when he graduated from Manchester City’s academy and played for the Premiership side until 2006. The 28-year-old then moved onto English side, Southampton, where he amassed 111 appearances and scored 22 goals from 2009-11, Wright-Phillips featured for Plymouth Argyle before the former English Under-20 International moved to Charlton Athletic. At Charlton,
Wright-Phillips scored 31 goals in 82 games. Prior to coming to New York, Wright-Phillips was most recently at Brentford on loan, playing 15 matches and recording five goals. DUVALL MAKES MLS DEBUT New York Red Bulls rookie defender Chris Duvall made his professional debut last Saturday at Toronto, coming on in the 48th minute for Kosuke Kimura. The Red Bulls selected Duvall, 22, from Wake Forest University with the 22nd overall pick of the 2014 SuperDraft. He was at Wake Forest for four seasons and in 2013 he mainly featured as a right back, playing in 14 games for Wake Forest and recording three assists. In 2012, Duvall played more minutes than any other player on the Wake Forest roster, recording 1,637 minutes on the field with one goal and three assists. During his freshman season at Wake Forest, Duvall appeared in every game, including 16 starts, and led the team in assists with four. In preseason play with the Red Bulls, the Georgia native appeared in four games, including one start against Orlando City SC. CAHILL, MILLER WITH WORLD CUP PRELIMINARY SQUADS New York Red Bulls midfielder Tim Cahill (Australia) and defender Roy Miller (Costa Rica) were named to the preliminary rosters for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil by their respective national teams. Both players started in New York’s 5-4 loss to Chicago on May 10 before departing for their national teams. Australia will play in Group B with Spain, the Netherlands, and Chile while Costa Rica will play in Group D with Uruguay, England, and Italy in Brazil this summer. Cahill, one of 30 players named to Australia’s preliminary roster, has played a major role in helping the Australian National Team qualify for the 2014 World Cup. On the international level, Cahill has earned 67 caps for his country while scoring 31 goals. On March 5, Cahill broke Australia’s all-time scoring record, when he scored two goals in a 4-3 loss to Ecuador. Cahill played in the 2006 and 2010 FIFA World Cup competitions and was the first player ever to score in the tournament for his country in 2006. Last season in his first full year in MLS, Cahill led all New York players with 11 goals and helped the Red Bulls win the 2013 Supporters’ Shield. The 2013 MLS All-Star also added five assists in his 27 appearances, all of which were starts. At the end of the season, Cahill was voted to Major League Soccer’s Best XI as a midfielder and named the Red Bulls’ team MVP. Cahill has made seven appearances this season for New York. Miller is the longest tenured Red Bull, having been with the club since 2010. This season, Miller made his 100th MLS appearance with New York in a 1-1 tie against Chivas USA on March 30 and has recorded two assists in 10 games played.

ROBLES TO THE RESCUE, LEADS MLS IN SAVES New York goalkeeper Luis Robles has enjoyed a strong start to 2014 and continued his push to the MLS All Star Team when he stopped a penalty kick and earned his second shutout in the Red Bulls’ 1-0 win over FC Dallas May 4. Robles most recently made his 50th MLS appearance in the 2-0 loss at Toronto on May 17. He is the first New York goalkeeper to ever have four combined penalty kick saves and opposing player misses (4-for-16), surpassing Greg Sutton (3-for-5), Tim Howard (3-for-10) and Tony Meola (3-for-16) Robles also leads the league in saves (42) and has two shutouts on the season.

LAST MATCH RECAP Playing the majority of the match with 10 men, the Timbers battled back from two different one-goal deficits in the second half to earn a 3-3 draw in front of a sold-out crowd of 20,814 fans at Providence Park on May 17. Going down a man in the 34th minute following a straight red card to defender Alvas Powell on a late tackle near midfield, the Timbers refused to concede defeat despite the adverse circumstances and tallied the game-tying goal in the 85th minute as substitute forward Gastón Fernández converted a shot from close range following a header from forward Fanendo Adi. Midfielder Will Johnson scored in the 80th minute for the Timbers and forward Maximiliano Urruti tallied a goal in the fifth minute as Portland extended its MLS-club record, home-unbeaten streak to 22 consecutive matches.
Providence Park 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 51 consecutive regular-season home games in the team’s first three MLS seasons. Last year, the club earned an 11-1-5 overall regular-season home record in 17 games, which was the best home record in MLS. Currently, the Timbers have compiled an MLS-club record 22-game unbeaten streak at Providence Park. For the 2014 season, the stadium’s capacity was expanded to 20,814.

HEAD COACH CALEB PORTER Head coach Caleb Porter guided the Portland Timbers on a record-setting, turnaround season in 2013, his first season in MLS and as the club’s head coach. He was announced as the Timbers head coach on Aug. 29, 2012, and joined the club ahead of the 2013 MLS campaign. Porter received the Slats Gill Award for Sportsperson of the Year at the Oregon Sports Awards on March 9, 2014, becoming the fourth soccer-related figure to receive the award since it was founded in 1957. Porter was named the 2013 MLS Coach of the Year after leading Portland to a 14-5-15 (57pts) record, finishing the regular season in first place in the Western Conference and with the third-best record in the league – just two points shy of MLS Supporters’ Shield-winners New York Red Bulls. In 2013, the Timbers set new single-season club marks in points, wins, goals (54), goal differential (+21), shutouts (15) and fewest goals allowed (33). Under Porter, the Timbers assembled one of the biggest turnaround seasons in MLS history in 2013. In comparison to Portland’s 2012 totals, the Timbers assembled a 23-point improvement in points and an MLS-record 43-goal improvement in goal differential. Portland’s five losses during the 2013 regular season are tied for the fewest in MLS history in a 34-game season. In 2013, the Timbers ranked third in MLS in goals scored and conceded the second-fewest goals at 33, giving the club a league-best, plus21 goal differential. The club also led the league with 15 shutouts, tied for third-most in a single season in MLS history. During the regular season, the Timbers assembled one of the longest unbeaten streaks in MLS history at 15 games. The Timbers recorded a 15-game, home unbeaten streak during the 2013 regular season, posting a league-best 11-1-5 home record at Providence Park. The club also set an MLS single-season record with 11 home shutouts. Among Porter’s achievements during the 2013 season, the club’s 57 points accrued are the most earned by a first-year head coach in MLS since the league’s inaugural season in 1996. Porter’s winning percentage (.632) in 2013 ranked among the best in league history for first-year MLS head coaches, and the Timbers’ 15-game unbeaten streak is the longest by an MLS head coach in his first full season at the helm. Under Porter in 2013, Portland qualified for the MLS Cup Playoffs for the first time since joining the league in 2011. By defeating rival Seattle Sounders FC in the Western Conference Semifinal, the Timbers became just the fifth club in MLS history to reach the conference championship in their MLS Cup Playoff debut, and the first since Real Salt Lake in 2008. Additionally, the Timbers made their deepest run in club history in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in 2013 under Porter’s guidance, reaching the semifinals of the tournament. Prior to joining the Timbers, Porter was one of the most successful coaches in NCAA history during his tenure as head coach at the University of Akron from 2006-12. He compiled a career mark of 123-18-17 at Akron and owned the highest winning percentage (.832) among all active Division I coaches. Porter garnered numerous honors while at Akron, including 2009 NSCAA National Coach of the Year. From Kalamazoo, Mich., Porter led the Zips to 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, five MAC tournament titles and five consecutive trips to the NCAA tournament’s Round of 16 (2008-12). Porter set multiple NCAA records while 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. Porter’s coaching career also includes time as the head coach of the U.S. U-23 Men’s National Team during 2012 CONCACAF Olympic qualifying and he 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. 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 professional 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 and a three-time All-Big Ten honoree. Porter led the Hoosiers to four conference titles, and four NCAA tournament appearances. 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.
PORTLAND TIMBERS AT NEW YORK RED BULLS SATURDAY, MAY 24, 2014 ALL-TIME SERIES NOTES Saturday’s match marks the fifth all-time meeting between Portland and New York in the MLS regular-season series dating back to 2011. Searching for their first win over the Red Bulls, Portland has tallied eight goals in four matches, including three goals in two different matches. Most recently, the Timbers grabbed a come-from-behind, 3-3 draw against New York in the first game of the 2013 MLS season at Providence Park as midfielder Diego Valeri tallied a goal in his first career MLS match and midfielder/forward Darlington Nagbe netted a goal in the second half. It was the second 3-3 draw between the two teams at Providence Park - the first coming on June 19, 2011, in the first-ever meeting between the two teams. Portland’s eight goals against New York ranks as the third-most goals the Timbers have scored against a team from the Eastern Conference (Chicago 10, D.C. United 9), while the two sides have delivered 41 shots on goal combined in four games.
LAST TIME VS. NEW YORK Midfielder Diego Valeri scored in his MLS debut and midfielder/forward Darlington Nagbe scored his first goal of the season to help the Timbers battle back to earn a 3-3 draw against the New York Red Bulls in a hotly contested 2013 season opener for both clubs on March 3, 2013. Trailing 3-1 at halftime, the Timbers assembled a dominating second-half performance to fight back to earn a share of the points. Portland controlled 65 percent of the possession and outshot the Red Bulls 13-4 in the second half. Nagbe struck for his first goal of the season to pull the Timbers within a goal in the 56th minute and second-half sub Jose Valencia forced an own goal to pull the Timbers level at 3-3 in the 83rd minute.

PORTLAND TIMBERS AT NEW YORK RED BULLS SATURDAY, MAY 24, 2014 SCOUTING THE RED BULLS New York enters Saturday’s match having lost two games in a row for the first time this season, falling 5-4 against Chicago on May 10 and sustaining a 2-0 loss at Toronto on May 17. Head coach Mike Petke’s side didn’t register its first win until the seventh match of the season, but forward Bradley Wright-Phillips has been in form of late, leading MLS with nine goals scored. Wright-Phillips, the son of former Arsenal legend Ian Wright, tallied hat-tricks in the loss to Chicago and a 4-0 win over Houston on April 23. He recorded eight goals in a four-game span from April 23-May 10. Alongside Wright-Phillips, superstar forward Thierry Henry has logged three goals and four assists while midfielder Lloyd Sam has notched a team-leading five assists this season. Goalkeeper Luis Robles has logged a 3-4-5 record with two shutouts and a 1.58 goals-against average in 12 games.
FEWEST LOSSES Portland has lost just eight of its last 45 regular-season matches, the fewest losses of any team in MLS in that span since 2013. The Timbers are 15-8-22 overall for a .578 winning percentage over their last 45 regular-season games.
THE IRONMAN Timbers midfielder/forward Darlington Nagbe has started 59 straight league games for the club dating back to the 2012 MLS season. In his fourth year with the team, Nagbe has appeared in 78 of the team’s 79 regular-season games since the start of the 2012 MLS season. Nagbe became the first Timbers MLS player to reach 100 appearances for the team, hitting the century mark on April 5 against Seattle Sounders FC. Nagbe is the club’s MLS career leader in goals (17) and appearances (106).
ADI TALLIES ASSIST IN DEBUT Forward Fanendo Adi, on loan from Danish club FC Copenhagen, tallied the game-tying assist in his Timbers debut on May 17 against Columbus. Entering the match in the 83rd minute, Adi connected on a free kick from midfielder Diego Valeri just two minutes later, delivering a header to the far right post that forward Gastón Fernández converted to tie the match.
CHANCES CREATED Timbers midfielder Diego Valeri (28) and midfielder/forward Darlington Nagbe (22) each rank among league leaders in chances created (including assists) in the league through 11 matches this season. Valeri ranks fifth overall, just 10 chances created shy of league leader Federico Higuaín of Columbus.
BUSY STRETCH Portland faces its first really crowded stretch in the regular-season schedule beginning on Saturday against New York. Following the match against the Red Bulls, Portland travels to California for a midweek match on May 28 against Chivas USA at the StubHub Center before returning to Portland for a home match against Cascadia-rival Vancouver Whitecaps FC on June 1 at Providence Park. All told, Portland will play three matches in an eight-day span.
ON THE RIGHT FOOT Twelve of Portland’s 16 goals scored this season have come on right-footed shots, which ranks as the third-highest total in the league. Only Real Salt Lake (16 of 23 goals) and Vancouver (14 of 16) have tallied more goals off rightfooted shots in 2014.
GET THE BALL BACK The Timbers have won the fourth-most tackles in the league through 11 games this season with 192 successful tackles, according to Opta. Portland ranks among league leaders with an 84.21 percent tackle-success rate.
HITTING THE WOODWORK The Timbers lead the league with nine shots that have hit the frame this season. Portland defender Futty Danso most recently struck the frame with a secondhalf header in a 1-1 draw against the LA Galaxy on May 11 at Providence Park.
SCORING RATE At his current rate, forward Gastón Fernández scores a goal every 132 minutes for the Timbers. The team’s leading goal-scorer has tallied five goals in 10 appearances (7 starts), while logging 660 minutes of action. Portland’s secondleading scorer, forward Maximiliano Urruti has recorded three goals in 11 appearances. Urruti’s scoring rate currently sits at one goal every 197 minutes, nearly a goal every two games.
CHARA IN CHARGE STOPPAGE TIME Portland has tallied stoppage-time goals in two of its last three matches, with forward Maximiliano Urruti netting the game-winning goal in the 94th minute of a 3-2 victory against D.C. United on May 3 and midfielder Diego Valeri scoring the latest goal in Timbers MLS history - a 95th-minute, game-tying goal - against the LA Galaxy on May 11, both at Providence Park. Through 11 games this season, the Timbers have tallied three goals in stoppage time at home to earn points. Showing resiliency, Portland grabbed the game-tying goal in stoppage time against Philadelphia in the season-opener on March 8 at Providence Park.
TIMBERS INJURY REPORT QUESTIONABLE: M Diego Chara (L hand surgery), D Michael Harrington (L ankle sprain), M Rodney Wallace (L ACL surgery) * - As of May 21, 2014
Despite missing the match against Columbus following surgery to stabilize a fractured third metacarpal in his left hand, midfielder Diego Chara still ranks second in MLS with 50 total tackles. The dependable defensive midfielder also ranks second in tackles won (42). Playing box-to-box, Chara has tallied two goals this season, both from outside the penalty box.
