PORTLAND TIMBERS vs COLORADO RAPIDS JELD-WEN FIELD, Portland, Ore. Sept. 20, 2013 (WEEK 30, MLS Game #271) 7 p.m. PT (NBC SN; TSN2) A crucial match within the Western Conference is ahead on Friday evening when the Portland Timbers return to JeldWen Field to take on the Colorado Rapids before an NBC Sports Network audience. The Timbers, who haven’t lost at home since March, currently sit in fifth place in the West and hold the final playoff position, coming off a 1-1 draw at Chivas USA last weekend. The Rapids have catapulted into third in the division, losing just once in their last 12 games after a come-from-behind 2-1 win vs. FC Dallas last Saturday. REFEREE: Hilario Grajeda.

Fredéric Piquionne, Will Johnson and Ryan Johnson scored in a 3-0 Timbers victory at home on June 23; a pair of goals from Will Johnson in the second half overcame a two-goal Rapids lead to leave the teams in a 2-2 draw on March 30 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.  The win in the last meeting was only Portland’s second win in the all-time series. The Rapids have won four of the seven meetings all-time, with one draw.  Coaches record: Caleb Porter vs. COL: P2 W1 L0 D1 … Oscar Pareja vs. POR: P5 W2 L2 D1 LAST MEETING (MLS)  The Timbers jumped into the lead in the 12th minute. Rodney Wallace broke free down the left flank off a quickly-taken restart and fired a cross into the box for Frederic Piquionne, whose header beat Colorado goalkeeper Clint Irwin to the top of the goal.  Portland struck again just before halftime when Wallace came down with a flicked-on goal kick, held the ball at the left corner of the box and found a charging Will Johnson. The Timbers captain popped the ball up in the air to get past the Colorado defense and then launched a left-footed shot past Irwin to the far corner.  Portland put the game away in the 84th minute when Ryan Johnson buried a Wallace cross into an open goal after a Rapids turnover high up the field.  PORTLAND TIMBERS (4-2-3-1): Donovan Ricketts - Ryan Miller, Pa Modou Kah, Andrew Jean-Baptiste, Jack Jewsbury - Diego Chara, Will Johnson - Darlington Nagbe (Ben Zemanski 73), Diego Valeri (Kalif Alhassan 84), Rodney Wallace - Frederic Piquionne (Ryan Johnson 60).  COLORADO RAPIDS (4-2-3-1): Clint Irwin - Marvell Wynne, Drew Moor, German Mera, Christopher Klute (Anthony Wallace 60) - Nathan Sturgis, Hendry Thomas (Tony Cascio 78) - Atiba Harris, Dillon Powers, Nick LaBrocca (Jaime Castrillon 62) - Deshorn Brown. PORTLAND TIMBERS The Portland Timbers saw their road winless streak continue, despite coming back for a 1-1 draw with Chivas USA on Saturday evening at StubHub Center. The Timbers are in fifth place in the Western Conference with 43 points from 28 matches.

MLS GAME INFORMATION


LAST MATCH  Chivas USA took the lead in the 23rd minute. After a well-worked sequence through the midfield, Bryan de la Fuente flicked a header to the top right corner from the heart of the area for the opener.  But Diego Valeri, just five minutes after coming on as a substitute, potted the equalizer with a powerful strike past Chivas goalkeeper Dan Kennedy from inside the box.  Timbers head coach Caleb Porter made one change to the team that, rolled to a 4-0 win against Toronto FC at Jeld-Wen Field. Donovan Ricketts came back in between the posts for Milos Kocic.  PORTLAND TIMBERS (4-2-3-1): Donovan Ricketts - Sal Zizzo, Pa Modou Kah, Andrew Jean-Baptiste, Michael Harrington - Will Johnson, Diego Chara - Kalif Alhassan (Diego Valeri 46), Darlington Nagbe, Rodney Wallace (Maximiliano Urruti 72) - Jose Adolfo Valencia (Ryan Johnson 81). TEAM NEWS  The Timbers are now winless in their last eight away matches, the fourth-longest such streak during the season this year.  “That first goal does determine in that point what happens and now we’re chasing the game and it’s not as easy – we’re on the road,” said Timbers head coach Caleb Porter. “I really liked our response in the second half; we came out in the second half the way I wanted them to come out for the game, and they know it; they’re going to correct it, we’re going to correct it because at this point, if we don’t correct it, we’re going to be looking back and regretting these points that we let slip away.”  The Timbers do return home riding an 11-game undefeated streak at Jeld-Wen Field, the third-longest in MLS during the season. Four of the next five games are at home for the Timbers.  Diego Valeri scored a goal for a second consecutive match, coming on as a substitute for a second match in a row. Since July 13, a span of 10 games, Valeri has 3 goals and 8 assists.  Jose Adolfo Valencia contributed his third assist of the season – he has assisted on each of the last three Portland goals. His first two starts of the league campaign have come in the last two matches.  “The second half showed what we were capable of,” Porter said. “We just need to do that from the beginning, and if we do the result is different. It’s getting to the point now where we need to start correcting things, and one of the things we need to correct is starting games better.”  Maximiliano Urruti made his Timbers debut after being acquired in a trade with Toronto FC, coming on for the final 18 minutes.  “We have to be a little more clinical in and around the box, attacking, set pieces, we just don’t seem to have that hunger in front of goal right now and if you’re going to make mistakes at the back and give up goals, you’re going to lose points,” said midfielder Will Johnson. COLORADO RAPIDS The Colorado Rapids made it two wins in a row and continued their roll, coming back for a 2-1 win against FC Dallas on Saturday evening at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. The Rapids are in third place in the Western Conference with 45 points from 29 matches. LAST MATCH  FC Dallas took the lead in the 51st minute. Jair Benitez took a pass along the left wing and crossed it across goal for David Ferreira, who slid in front of the net to turn home the close-range finish.  But the Rapids responded quickly. In the 59th minute, two Dallas defenders tried to head away Chris Klute’s cross into the box, but the ball popped right to Vicente Sanchez on the left side of the penalty box, and the Uruguayan brilliantly volleyed home the equalizer.  The winner came six minutes later, again through Sanchez's efforts. He dribbled around a defender and delivered a cross in front of goal that FCD defender Hedges accidentally turned into his own net ahead of charging Colorado striker Gabriel Torres.  Rapids head coach Oscar Pareja made one change to the team that defeated the LA Galaxy 1-0 at StubHub Center. Nathan Sturgis came into the midfield in place of Nick LaBrocca.  COLORADO RAPIDS (4-2-3-1): Clint Irwin - Marvell Wynne, Shane O'Neill, Drew Moor, Christopher Klute Hendry Thomas (Gabriel Torres 56), Nathan Sturgis (German Mera 81) - Atiba Harris, Dillon Powers, Vicente Sanchez - Edson Buddle (Deshorn Brown 75). TEAM NEWS  The Rapids have won back-to-back games for the fourth time this season – they have yet to win three consecutive league games this year. They have taken points from 11 of their last 12 games (7-1-4).  Vicente Sanchez scored his first MLS goal, making a fourth consecutive start in the midfield, this time deployed on the left side. He has a goal and two assists in that span.  “Vicente gives us the versatility to go to the left, to the right, to the middle, and that precision the last two or three games, I think he has played on the right. Today we saw the opportunity to play him on the left because we knew we were going to have some space there and I wanted to attack the second post with Atiba, who

normally comes and hurts [Dallas],” said Pareja. “But the chemistry with different backs is coming along because when he played on the right with Marvell, it was the same. They link well.” Said Sanchez: “I had come in playing on the right, and then the middle and Oscar decided to put me out on the left. I'm happy - happy to play and happy because from the first minute the team tried to win. We couldn’t score the goal in the first half. But still, little by little the team continues getting better. These are playoff games. These are games that everyone wants to win in order to qualify.” After playing in a deeper-lying midfield role against the LA Galaxy, Dillon Powers moved forward into central attacking midfield spot. “[Lineups] depend on the opponent or the plan of the game, depending on what we need or what we want,” Pareja said. “I want to say that one of the best players against Los Angeles was Nick LaBrocca. And Nick wasn’t in the roster [Saturday].” After returning from international duty with Panama, Gabriel Torres came off the bench for the final 34 minutes. Edson Buddle made a second consecutive start after not featuring in the first team for three consecutive games, while rookie Deshorn Brown came off the substitutes’ bench for a second consecutive game. [Gabriel Torres] came up from two games with his national team and as much as we want him and need him, we want to give him good time on the field so he can provide what we need. Also, Edson has done a great job from his end, so we wanted to have that energy in the second half with Gabriel,” said Pareja. “… Deshorn came up in the point where we needed his energy as well, but also his speed in order to get in behind because … we were expecting one or two chances with Deshorn in behind that we actually had.”

HEAD COACH CALEB PORTER One of the most successful coaches in NCAA history, Caleb Porter was named the Timbers head coach on Aug. 29, 2012, and joins the club following seven seasons as the head coach at the University of Akron from 2006-12. He finished his time at Akron with a career mark of 123-18-17 and owned the highest winning percentage (0.832) among all active Division I coaches. Porter has helped lead the Timbers to a positive result in 23 of the team’s 28 matches in the 2013 MLS season, setting a club-record, 15-game unbeaten stretch from March 16-June 23. Porter has been named the MLSsoccer.com Coach of the Week twice this year (Week 6, Week 9) and set the MLS record for a first-year head coach with 15 straight undefeated games. 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 Friday’s match marks the third, and final, regular-season meeting between the Timbers and Colorado Rapids this season. Portland has earned a 1-0-1 mark against their Western Conference rivals, including a decisive 3-0 shutout on June 23 at JELD-WEN Field. The Timbers surpassed their previous MLS-club record high of points in a single season, earning their 43rd point in a 1-1 road draw at Chivas USA on Sept. 14 at the StubHub Center in Carson, Calif. Midfielder Diego Valeri tallied the game-tying goal in the 50th minute, his second straight game with a goal. The Rapids bring a two-game winning streak to JELD-WEN Field, recently earning a 2-1 win over FC Dallas on Sept. 14. After conceding the game’s opening goal in the 51st minute, the Rapids responded through midfielder Vicente Sanchez’s first-career MLS goal in the 59th minute. An own goal by FC Dallas defender Matt Hedges provided the difference for Colorado in the 65th minute. The Rapids enter Friday’s match in third place in the Western Conference, two points above Portland.


COLORADO RAPIDS AT PORTLAND TIMBERS FRIDAY, SEPT. 20, 2013 ALL-TIME SERIES NOTES The Timbers have gained a foothold against Colorado over the last four MLS regular-season meetings, earning a 2-1-1 record, including an undefeated 1-0-1 mark during the 2013 campaign. Portland has outscored the Rapids 5-2 this season, earning a come-from-behind, 2-2 road draw on March 30 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park and a 3-0 win on June 23 at JELD-WEN Field. In the first meeting of the season, the Timbers overcame a two-goal deficit on the road as midfielder Will Johnson recorded a brace in the second half of a 2-2 draw. Johnson was named the NASR MLS Player of the Week for his efforts against the Rapids. Nearly three months later, midfielder Rodney Wallace registered a Timbers’ MLS-club single-game record three assists in a 3-0 win. The Timbers hold a 2-4-1 record against the Rapids in the all-time MLS series since 2011, including a 2-1-0 mark at JELD-WEN Field. In three games in the Rose City, Portland has outscored Colorado 4-1, including a pair of shutouts. The Timbers blanked Colorado 1-0 on Aug. 31, 2012. Will Johnson has scored a team-high three goals against the Rapids, while goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts has earned both shutouts against the Western Conference side.

LAST TIME VS. COLORADO The Timbers moved into a two-way tie with Real Salt Lake for the best record in MLS and a share of first place in the Western Conference at the time with a 3-0 win over the Rapids before a sellout crowd of 20,674 at JELD-WEN Field on June 23. Forward Frederic Piquionne and midfielder Will Johnson each registered one goal and one assist and midfielder/forward Rodney Wallace recorded three assists to help the Timbers extend their MLS-club record unbeaten streak to 15 games, which set the mark as the longest unbeaten run in the league this season and tied for the fourth-longest in MLS history.

NEARING THE CENTURY MARK Friday’s nationally televised match will mark the 97th all-time MLS match for the Timbers since the team’s inaugural season in 2011. The Timbers will be just three games short of playing their historic 100th MLS match. Portland’s 100th MLS match will come on Oct. 13 at JELD-WEN Field and it will fittingly be against Cascadia-rival Seattle Sounders FC in a match that will certainly hold important playoff implications.

Forward Ryan Johnson connected on a cross from Ben Zemanski for the Timbers, who were reduced to 10 men in the 41st minute following a straight red card to defender Alvas Powell. The Timbers Reserves return home for their final two matches of the campaign on Saturday, Sept. 21, against the Colorado Rapids Reserves and Monday, Oct. 14, against the Seattle Sounders FC Reserves at JELD-WEN Field.

COLORADO RAPIDS AT PORTLAND TIMBERS FRIDAY, SEPT. 20, 2013 SCOUTING THE RAPIDS After winning just twice in their first nine games of the 2013 season, the Rapids found their course, building a five-game unbeaten streak during the month of May. Head coach Oscar Pareja’s squad then pieced together a nine-game unbeaten streak from June 29 to Aug. 17. Rookie forward Deshorn Brown leads the team with seven goals and four assists (18pts), while veterans Edson Buddle (5g, 2a) and Atiba Harris (5g, 1a) have contributed offensively. Rookie midfielder Dillon Powers has pitched in four goals and five assists in his first season. Goalkeeper Clint Irwin, a 24-year-old who is in his first season in MLS after playing the 2012 season with USL PRO side Charlotte Eagles, ranks second in MLS with a 1.00 goals-against average and is tied for the league lead with 10 shutouts.

MIDFIELD MAESTRO Midfielder Diego Valeri has factored in 11 of Portland’s last 16 goals (8a, 3g). Valeri has 12 assists on the season, which is tied for the league lead, and is the first Timbers MLS player to record 10 or more assists in a single season. He is just the second Timbers player since 2001 to record 10 or more assists in a single season; Hugo Alcaraz-Cuellar recorded 12 assists in 2005 for the seconddivision Timbers.
