PORTLAND TIMBERS vs COLORADO RAPIDS PROVIDENCE PARK, Portland, Ore. July 18, 2014 (WEEK 19, MLS Game #172)
8 p.m. PT (NBCSN)
The Portland Timbers return home for a vital Western Conference clash when they play host to the Colorado Rapids on Friday evening at Providence Park before an NBC Sports Network audience. The Timbers are back in the Rose City following a 2-0 loss at arch-rival Seattle Sounders FC that stretched their winless run to four games. The Rapids remain on the road following a wild 3-3 draw at Philadelphia Union last weekend. REFEREE: Ismail Elfath.

Vicente Sánchez converted a penalty kick and Deshorn Brown knocked home a rebound from a saved penalty, just two minutes apart late in the second half, as the Rapids took a 2-0 victory March 22 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. The Rapids haven’t scored a goal in Portland on their last three visits, since a 1-0 win in 2011 in their first-ever game in the Rose City. The Timbers have won their last three home games in the series. The Rapids have never lost at home to Portland. They have won four of the five encounters all-time in Commerce City following the win this season. Coaches record: Caleb Porter vs. COL: P4 W2 L1 D1 … Pablo Mastroeni vs. POR: P1 W1 L0 D0 LAST MEETING (MLS) The Rapids took the lead midway through the second half. A ball played over the top ball from Dillon Powers drew Timbers goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts off his line, and after he caught Deshorn Brown with his tackle in the area, he was shown a red card. Vicente Sanchez coolly converted for his second penalty-kick goal in the 73rd minute. Barely a minute later, substitute goalkeeper Andrew Weber clipped Sanchez in the area as he raced onto another Powers feed, and referee Mark Geiger again pointed to the spot. Deshorn Brown took the resulting penalty kick and saw it saved by Weber, but Brown was able to bang in the rebound. Rapids midfielder Jose Mari saw a second yellow in the 90th minute, evening the sides at 10 men apiece, but Portland was unable to work its way back into the match. COLORADO RAPIDS (4-2-3-1): John Berner - Shane O'Neill, Marvell Wynne, Drew Moor, Marc Burch - Jose Mari (ejected 90), Nick LaBrocca - Deshorn Brown, Dillon Powers (Kamani Hill 86), Vicente Sanchez (Marvin Chavez 80) - Edson Buddle (Gabriel Torres 79).

PORTLAND TIMBERS The Portland Timbers saw their winless streak stretched to four games, falling 2-0 to Seattle Sounders FC on Sunday evening at CenturyLink Field. The Timbers are in eighth place in the Western Conference with 21 points from 19 games.
MLS GAME INFORMATION
LAST MATCH Sounders FC finally made the breakthrough in the 74th minute. Following a freekick, Clint Dempsey’s initial attempt was blocked by goakeeper Donovan Ricketts and bounced to Obafemi Martins, who was denied by Ricketts again. But Gonzalo Pineda drove the rebound back through the box toward the back post, where Dempsey turned the ball into the roof of the net from inside the six-yard box. The home side put in the dagger in the 87th minute. Martins freed Lamar Neagle on a quick break on the left, and he put in a rolling cross into the area for Marco Pappa, who fired a shot past a fallen Ricketts from the spot. Timbers head coach Caleb Porter made two changes to the team that drew 2-2 with the LA Galaxy at StubHub Center. Jack Jewsbury started in midfield in place of the suspended Diego Chara, and Steve Zakuani came into the team for Gaston Fernandez. PORTLAND TIMBERS (4-1-2-3): Donovan Ricketts - Michael Harrington (Kalif Alhassan 83), Danny O'Rourke, Rauwshan McKenzie, Jorge Villafana - Jack Jewsbury - Diego Valeri (Gaston Fernandez 74), Will Johnson Darlington Nagbe, Fanendo Adi, Steve Zakuani (Rodney Wallace 63). TEAM NEWS The Timbers saw their overall winless streak extended to four matches, the club’s longest since starting the season without a win in its opening eight games. “This is a game where if we would've gotten three points, it would've helped, but there are more important games ahead – the swing playoff teams. Those potential six-point swings against teams around us are more important than this game, although it would've been nice to get a point or more, but we've got to move on,” said Timbers head coach Caleb Porter. “Right now recovery is key. We had a very long week and gave a lot physically and emotionally, but have to recover and get back to work and get ready for Colorado. That game is going to be very critical.” The Timbers also return home looking to overturn a five-game winless run at Providence Park – one short of the club’s MLS record set during the 2011 season. The Timbers have just one home win this season, tied for fewest in MLS (along with Philadelphia and Chicago). “The seven home games (remaining), in particular, are crucial. The non-conference games you can gamble a little bit. You want to go for three (points) in those,” said Porter. “But the pivotal games are the games against the Colorado's, the Vancouver's, the Dallas', the San Jose's, the Chivas's – those are the games where you can't give up points and we need to make up ground.” The Timbers were also shut out for a second time in the last three matches, their first attacking shutouts in more than two months. “We know what we need to do and we've got plenty of games to do it. We've seen the table and it's a bit like Pulp Fiction – everybody is killing everybody – so I'm not sure what the line is going to be with regards to the points that get you in,” said Porter. “You can't worry about that – you just have to focus on every game trying to get three points, and if you don't, try and get the next one. We can still get to a very high target with the amount of games we have left, if you do the math. Win eight or nine games, we're right there.” With Diego Chará suspended, Jack Jewsbury made his first MLS start since June 7, coming into a deep-lying central midfield role. “We did a lot of things well, especially in the first half, but ultimately we wore down in the second half. Those 120 minutes on our guys' legs [in the Open Cup match] really caught up with us, and with the injuries we had on the back line, we couldn't rotate, and you could see that a little bit,”said Porter. “... We don't have depth, we couldn't rotate and we played a lot of guys who'd played 120 minutes (on Wednesday) and that caught up with us against a very good team - a team with good attackers.” Steve Zakuani returned to the starting lineup following a two-match absence, starting in a wide role and playing 63 minutes. “I think we actually were the better team for the first part of the first half. It's not easy to come in here and do that in this environment, but we did. Again, it's a game where we just take the game for what it is,” said Zakuani. “We lost to a better team on the night, in the end, and we have to regroup for the game on Friday and also remember that at this point, it's about getting into the playoffs and we can still do that. We have to hold on to that hope.” COLORADO RAPIDS The Colorado Rapids made it three consecutive matches without defeat, coming back for a late 3-3 draw with Philadelphia Union on Saturday evening at PPL Park. The Rapids are in third place in the Western Conference with 27 points from 18 games. LAST MATCH The teams exchanged goals in a two-minute span to open the scoring. In the 16th minute, Union fullback Ray Gaddis picked out Conor Casey with a perfect cross to turn home, but Dillon Serna made two cuts to the inside then beat Union goalkeeper Zac MacMath with a low, driven shot just inside the post for the Rapids' equalizer.
MLS GAME INFORMATION
Union then took the lead with goals on either side of halftime. Sheanon Williams sent a glancing header off a Cristian Maidana corner kick perfectly in the side netting for a 31st minute lead, then Andrew Wenger put the Union up 3-1 in the 74th minute, tapping in through traffic after Amobi Okugo snuck a cross through the box. But the match changed dramatically Michael Lahoud was shown a red card after a high challenge, and Dillon Powers converted the resulting penalty kick in the 79th minute. Then Deshorn Brown capped the comeback seven minutes later with a terrific turn on a Gabriel Torres pass and a rocket just inside the post. Amobi Okugo was shown straight red by referee Sorin Stoica while walking off the field after the final whistle. Rapids head coach Pablo Mastroeni made two changes to the team that reached a 1-1 draw with the Columbus Crew at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Marc Burch came in at left back in place of Christopher Klute, and Dillon Serna entered the side in place of Vicente Sanchez. COLORADO RAPIDS (4-2-3-1): Clint Irwin - Marvell Wynne, Shane O'Neill, Drew Moor, Marc Burch – Nick LaBrocca, Jared Watts (Marlon Hairston 78) – Kamani Hill (Carlos Alvarez 65), Dillon Powers, Dillon Serna (Gabriel Torres 83) – Deshorn Brown. TEAM NEWS The Rapids have converted seven of eight penalty kicks this season, and scored goals from each spot kick (one goal came from a rebound from a saved penalty). The MLS record for penalty kick goals in a season is nine, set four times previously, last by the Montréal Impact in 2012. “I think overall the most important thing is the character that the guys showed to come back,” Rapids head coach Pablo Mastroeni said. “That’s the overwhelming feeling I’ve got from this game. Obviously, we have a long ways to go … but the ability and the mindset to overcome all of those things and find your way into a result is tremendous for this team moving forward.” Dillon Powers had a goal and an assist in the same time for the fourth time in 46 career MLS matches in the draw with Philadelphia. It was the third time this season he had been involved in two goals in the same match. “I think that the guys in the midfield did a good job of getting him the ball in Powers and Nicky [LaBrocca]. The guys that came on the field should be attributed and did a tremendous job of making an impact and we’re definitely catalysts for the game,” Mastroeni said. Gabriel Torres made just his second substitute appearance in the last nine matches, totaling just nine minutes overall, and contributed his first assist of the season. “I think it’s a really tight group and we’ve had a ton of games so it’s about how to get the guys the field to contribute and I think Gabi did a great job,” said Mastroeni. “He was focused and unlocked their defense with a couple of good passes, I think it’s a good confidence builder for Gabi. So we’ll sit down and look at our options moving forward but I’m really happy for him to come in and contribute the way he did.” Deshorn Brown scored his sixth goal of the season, his first in four matches this season. He has 16 goals in 48 league matches in his two seasons in MLS. “I think that Deshorn is one of the more dangerous forwards in the league, you’re going to have moments where things aren’t going your way,” said Mastroeni. “But the mindset to be able to make good on one opportunity and really make a difference in the game says a lot about who he is as a person, he doesn’t give up, he keeps working hard and that’s the mentality that I think all the guys who stepped on the field had.” Carlos Alvarez made his Rapids debut after his acquisition from Chivas USA, coming off the substitutes’ bench for the final 25 minutes. “I think he did a good job of coming in and finding the game. It’s tough to come into that kind of game where it’s heated and feisty, he found a way to get the ball and slow it down. He really made some good passes and was a threat going forward,” said Mastroeni. “So I think Carlos did a great job, I think Gabi did a great job, and I think Marlon coming in up front and really getting forward also did a really nice job.” The Rapids will be without center back Shane O’Neill for the Portland match after he was given a one-match ban in a ruling by the MLS Disciplinary Committee. “I think that set pieces should be the easiest thing to defend, because the ball is static when you’re defending it, so that’s a concentration issue," Mastroeni said. "I think what we’re discovering is that we are our most dangerous opponents when we have the ball. When we have good possession and we’re pushing teams back, we can’t be loose with our touches, [because] everyone is going to be pulled out of position. So like I said, it’s a bit naïve from us, and it’s going to be a part of our development, and we have to get better at it.”

LAST MATCH RECAP Second-half goals from forward Clint Dempsey and midfielder Marco Pappa guided Seattle Sounders FC to a 2-0 win over the Portland Timbers before 64,207 fans at CenturyLink Field on Sunday evening. Sunday’s loss marked Portland’s first regular-season road loss since a 1-0 setback against Real Salt Lake on April 19. Goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts blanked Sounders FC on backto-back, point-blank efforts in the 71st minute, but Seattle tallied the opening goal as Dempsey found space at the right post to redirect a mishit shot from midfielder Gonzalo Pineda into the back of the net. The Timbers nearly leveled the score late in the game as midfielder Gastón Fernández fired a shot from distance off the outside of the right post in the 86th minute. In an effort to find the equalizer, Portland inserted midfielder Kalif Alhassan into the match for defender Michael Harrington in the 83rd minute. Pappa scored Seattle’s second goal in the 86th minute.

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.
COLORADO RAPIDS AT PORTLAND TIMBERS FRIDAY, JULY 18, 2014 ALL-TIME SERIES NOTES The Timbers and Rapids squared off in Portland’s first-ever MLS match back on March 19, 2011, as Colorado took a 3-1 win over the Timbers at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Over the last six regular-season meetings, however, the Timbers have gained a foothold against Colorado with a 3-2-1 record, including an undefeated 2-0-1 mark during the 2013 regular season. In the first meeting of the 2014 season, the Rapids benefited from back-to-back penalty kicks in the final 20 minutes of the match to take a 2-0 win at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colo. In the final match between the two sides during the 2013 season, midfielder Diego Valeri connected with a pass from Wallace and the Timbers defense limited Colorado to just one shot on goal in a 1-0 shutout at Providence Park on Sept. 20, 2013. The Timbers have earned a 3-1-0 record all-time against the Rapids at Providence Park, dating back to 2011. Portland has logged three consecutive shutouts against Colorado at home. The Rapids are winless in Portland since the 2011 season and have been outscored 5-1 in four matches in the Rose City.
LAST TIME VS. COLORADO RAPIDS A pair of penalty-kick goals during an event-filled final 20 minutes of play was the difference as the Colorado Rapids defeated the Portland Timbers, 2-0, under cold and snowy conditions on Saturday at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on March 22. The game turned in the 68th minute when goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts was issued a straight red card following a challenge inside the box. It was the first of two penalty kicks awarded to the Rapids within a two-minute span, and the home side was able to convert both opportunities.

COLORADO RAPIDS AT PORTLAND TIMBERS FRIDAY, JULY 18, 2014 SCOUTING THE RAPIDS Colorado comes into Friday’s match following a 3-3 draw against the Philadelphia Union on Saturday at PPL Park in Chester, Pa. Trailing by two goals, the Rapids scored in the 79th and 86th minutes to earn the come-from-behind draw on the road. Head coach Pablo Mastroeni’s squad has lost just once in its last seven matches while climbing to third place in the Western Conference standings. Forwards Vicente Sanchez and Deshorn Brown lead the Rapids with six goals apiece, while midfielder Dillon Powers has registered four goals and five assists. Goalkeeper Clint Irwin has played 14 of the team’s 18 matches this season, earning a 1.29 goals-against average.
AGAINST THE RAPIDS The Timbers have earned a mark of 3-1-0 against the Rapids at Providence Park, most recently logging a pair of shut outs against Colorado during the 2013 season. At home in 2013, the Timbers blanked the Rapids by scores of 3-0 (June 23, 2013) and 1-0 (Sept. 20, 2013). Dating back to 2012, Portland has registered three consecutive home shutouts against the Rapids.
IRONMAN Midfielder Will Johnson leads the team with 1,709 minutes played in regularseason action this year. The Timbers captain ranks third in MLS in minutes played, behind only Philadelphia’s Raymon Gaddis and Zac MacMath (1,710).
UPCOMING MILESTONES Midfielder Diego Valeri is 14 corner kicks shy of becoming the Timbers MLS career leader in the category. Valeri is also the team’s MLS career leader in assists (21). Defender Jack Jewsbury is closing in on 300 career MLS appearances. The veteran, who has made 103 appearances for the Timbers since 2011, is just two appearances shy (298) of reaching the 300-club for his career. Jewsbury would join an exclusive list of just 25 other players, including goalkeepers, who have reached 300 career MLS appearances. Defender Danny O’Rourke’s next appearance will be the 195th of his MLS career. O’Rourke, who joined the Timbers on May 27, has appeared in six games (4 starts) for Portland. Midfielder/forward Darlington Nagbe’s next appearance will be his 115th as a member of the Timbers. Nagbe would tie former NASL Timbers great Clyde Best for ninth place on the Timbers all-time career games played list across all eras. Midfielder Kalif Alhassan is just 21 minutes shy of reaching the 5,000 minutes played milestone for his MLS career. Alhassan has made 90 career MLS appearances for the Timbers since 2011, logging a career-high 2,337 minutes during the 2011 season.
FAST START Portland and Real Salt Lake are tied for the league lead with the most goals scored in the first 15 minutes of matches this season. Both teams have tallied six goals in the opening 15 minutes.
RELIABLE RICKETTS Goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts set a Timbers MLS single-game record with eight saves against Seattle Sounders FC on Sunday and enters the week ranked second in MLS with 62 saves. Ricketts has quickly worked his way up the Timbers MLS career records list, currently leading the club in all major goalkeeping categories since his arrival during the 2012 season.
ON THE BOARD FIRST Under the guidance of head coach Caleb Porter, the Timbers are 14-1-8 overall when scoring first since the start of the 2013 season.
ON THE NATIONAL STAGE PROVIDENCE PARK Since the start of the 2013 season, the Timbers have made Providence Park one of the most difficult places for opposing teams to play, earning a 12-3-12 overall record in 27 home games. Portland’s three home losses are tied with the LA Galaxy for the fewest in MLS since 2013.
HITTING THE WOODWORK With midfielder Gastón Fernández striking the right post with a shot in the 86th minute on Sunday against Seattle, the Timbers lead the league with 13 shots that have hit the frame this season. Seattle has hit the woodwork nine times, which ranks second in the league.
