LAST MATCH RECAP The Portland Timbers fell 1-0 to Sporting Kansas City before a sold-out crowd of 21,144 fans at Providence Park on April 15, suffering their first home defeat of the season. The result marked the first loss for the Timbers (4-2-1, 13pts) in their last nine home matches (7-1-1), dating back to the 2016 campaign, while also marking the first time the Timbers have been held scoreless in their last 22 matches played at Providence Park since the 2015 MLS season.

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 all of its regular-season home games in the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first six MLS seasons. Spanning the 2013 and 2014 seasons, the Timbers compiled an MLS-club record 22-game unbeaten streak (12-0-10) at Providence Park from April 6, 2013 to June 1, 2014. The streak ranks as the third-longest all-time in MLS history.

HEAD COACH CALEB PORTER Head coach Caleb Porter enters his fifth season with the Timbers in 2017. Since joining the club for the 2013 season, Porter has compiled one of the league’s top winning percentages among active coaches with a record of 56-39-44, while leading the Timbers to their first MLS Cup title in 2015, two Western Conference Championship appearances and double-digit victory totals in each of his first four seasons. During his tenure, the Timbers have qualified for CONCACAF Champions League twice (2014-15, 2016-17), finished in the top three in the Western Conference twice and made their deepest run in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, reaching the semifinals in 2013. Porter coached in his 100th game as an MLS coach against Real Salt Lake on Oct. 14, 2015, posting a record of 39-25-36 in those games, which tied Dominic Kinnear for the fewest losses (25) in MLS history in a coach’s first 100 career games. In addition, his .570 winning percentage during that span ranked fourth among then-active coaches through their first 100 games, behind the Bruce Arena (6237-1, .625), Sigi Schmid (52-33-15, .595) and Kinnear (40-25-35, .575). Ending the 2015 campaign with a nine-game unbeaten run across all competitions, the Timbers lifted their first MLS Cup trophy with a 2-1 win over Columbus Crew SC on Dec. 6, 2015. Portland finished the regular season with an MLS-club-record 15 wins, while also tying for the league lead in shutouts (13). On the road, the Timbers finished the 2015 season tied for the most road wins (7) in the league. Porter, who led the Timbers to a club-record 12 home victories in 2016, is a two-time recipient of the Oregon Sports Awards’ Slats Gill Award for Sportsperson of the Year (2013, 2015), becoming the fourth soccer-related figure to receive the honor since it was founded in 1957. On Aug. 6, 2014, Porter helped guide the MLS All-Stars to a 2-1 win over Bayern Munich in the 2014 AT&T MLS All-Star Game at Providence Park. In his first season with the club, Porter was named the 2013 MLS Coach of the Year after assembling one of the biggest turnaround seasons in league history, guiding the Timbers to a 23-point improvement and a plus-43 goal-differential increase over the previous season. The 2013 club finished atop the Western Conference to secure its first MLS playoff berth and posted a league-best 15 shutouts, including a league-record 11 clean sheets at home. Prior to joining the Timbers, Porter, who holds a U.S. Soccer Federation “A” license, was one of the most successful coaches in NCAA history during his tenure as head coach at the University of Akron (200612). He compiled a career mark of 123-18-17 and was named 2009 NSCAA National Coach of the Year. Porter led the Zips to back-to-back NCAA College Cup appearances (2009, 2010) and the school’s first national title in any sport in 2010. 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 three years as an assistant coach on the U.S. U-18 National Team (2009-11). Porter was an assistant coach for six years (2000-05) at Indiana University, winning two national championships with the Hoosiers. Porter graduated from Indiana in 1998 with a degree in sports management. He and his wife, Andrea, have three children – two sons, Colin (8) and Jake (6), and a daughter, Stella (5).

PORTLAND TIMBERS VS VANCOUVER WHITECAPS FC SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 2017 PREVIOUS MATCH - PORTLAND TIMBERS VS SPORTING KANSAS CITY (L 0-1) BOX SCORE

MATCH RECAP The Portland Timbers fell 1-0 to Sporting Kansas City before a sold-out crowd of 21,144 fans at Providence Park on April 15, suffering their first home defeat of the season. The result marked the first loss for the Timbers (4-2-1, 13pts) in their last nine home matches (7-1-1), dating back to the 2016 campaign, while also marking the first time the Timbers have been held scoreless in their last 22 matches played at Providence Park since the 2015 MLS season. After a scoreless first half between the two teams, Sporting Kansas City (3-0-3, 12pts) managed to open the scoring early in the second half when a curling cross from midfielder Jimmy Medranda found forward Dominic Dwyer on the edge of the six-yard box for a header that snuck into the far corner, giving the visitors the lead in the 53rd minute of play. Shortly afterward, Portland responded with a dangerous chance when midfielder Sebastián Blanco’s pass inside the box was deflected back to the edge of the area to midfielder Diego Valeri, who took a low shot that was pushed away from danger. With eight shots in the second half, including four on target, the Timbers created a number of additional chances late in the game, beginning with an effort from midfielder Darren Mattocks, who ran on to forward Fanendo Adi’s flick inside the box, forcing goalkeeper Tim Melia to come off his line and make a big save in the 77th minute. On the ensuing corner kick, Valeri’s set piece found Alvas Powell unmarked at the back post, with the defender lofting a header back across the goal, forcing a goal-line clearance from the Sporting KC defense. One minute later, with Portland continuing to put Sporting Kansas City under pressure, the Timbers created their strongest chance of the half when midfielder Darlington Nagbe volleyed a long-distance effort that forced a finger-tip save from Melia, with his impressive strike rattling off the crossbar with 12 minutes remaining in the game. Next up, the Timbers will play host to Cascadia-rivals Vancouver Whitecaps FC at Providence Park on Saturday, April 22. Beginning at 1 p.m. (Pacific), the match against Vancouver will be broadcast live on KPTV FOX 12 with local radio broadcasts on 750 AM/102.9 FM The Game (English) and La GranD 1150 AM/93.5 FM (Spanish).

Saturday’s game marked the 111th consecutive sellout for the Timbers at Providence Park. Despite the result, the Timbers still lead MLS in goals (16), while ranking tied for the most points (13). Portland was held scoreless for the first time in 22 home matches at Providence Park, dating back to the 2015 campaign. For the first time, Providence Park played host to a same-day doubleheader with Portland Thorns FC and the Timbers. It is the sixth U.S. venue to ever host a professional women’s soccer club match and an MLS match in the same day. The Timbers (21,144) and Thorns FC (16,145) combined to draw 37,289 fans at Providence Park in the first doubleheader featuring the two clubs. Diego Valeri was credited with four chances created in the match, twice as many as the next highest player. Valeri has now played exactly 10,000 regular-season minutes for Portland. He is the fourth Timbers player to reach that milestone in MLS, joining teammates Darlington Nagbe and Diego Chara and recently-retired midfielder Jack Jewsbury. For just the third time in three years, the Timbers had 21 fouls or more (22) called against them in a match. Drew Fischer was the referee in all of those matches.

QUOTES Portland Timbers head coach Caleb Porter On his evaluation of the game… On the close games historically between Portland and KC… “Yes, I think last year we beat them 3-0 the last time we played them here prior to this game. But, yes I think it’s been pretty even, back and forth. Usually 1-0 either way. They’ve gotten us a few times more than that and we’ve gotten them a few times more than that. I think when you just have two good teams that are evenly matched then it becomes a tighter game. Especially when you have two teams that aren’t going to give an inch. They are organized. They get tight to you. They are strong mentally. I think I said it on the broadcast at halftime, it’s going to be a one-goal game either way and it’s going to probably come from a mistake. We made a mistake. We gave up a goal. Other than that it was a pretty even game. But we have to learn from the conditions of this game. The way it played out. The emotion of the game, and we have to keep our composure better and find that bit of quality to unlock them.” Portland Timbers midfielder Diego Valeri On his thoughts on the match… “It wasn’t the result we wanted and it wasn’t the game we wanted to play. It was tough. There was a lot of fight, and a little bit of soccer. We tried to push in the last 30 minutes, after their goal, and we couldn’t find the goal to tie the game. They played well in the second half and we couldn’t find a goal, and that was the difference.” Portland Timbers forward Fanendo Adi Overall thoughts on the match… “It was just an up and down game. We didn’t have the flow of the game. Kansas City came in with a pretty good plan to press very high. I think that’s what they did, but we gave up some balls and the goal came out of nowhere.”

PORTLAND TIMBERS VS VANCOUVER WHITECAPS FC SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 2017 SCOUTING WHITECAPS FC Whitecaps FC enter Saturday’s game with two wins in their last three games, coming off a 2-1 win against Seattle Sounders FC in the opening Cascadia Cup match of the 2017 MLS campaign. On the road this season, Vancouver is 0-2 away from BC Place, with the team falling to Real Salt Lake 3-0 on April 8 and 3-2 against the San Jose Earthquakes on March 11.

FACING WHITECAPS FC At home, the Timbers have only lost once to Whitecaps FC since 2011, producing a 4-1-4 record. Overall, Portland’s seven wins against Vancouver is tied for a team record for the most wins against another club in MLS. Additionally, the Timbers have scored more goals against Vancouver (29) than any other team in MLS regular-season matches.

HOME STAND Dating back to the start of the 2016 MLS season, the Timbers rank tied for the the second-most home wins (14) with FC Dallas, compiling a 14-4-3 record at Providence Park. Since their final home game of the 2015 season, the Timbers are 15-4-3 over their last 21 regular-season matches played at Providence Park. Only the New York Red Bulls have won more home games (15) since 2016.

FIRST AND LAST So far this season, the Timbers have scored the most goals in the first 15 minutes, with Portland scoring five times in the opening portion of matches in 2017. Conversely, Portland also ranks tied for the most goals scored in the final 15 minutes of matches, scoring five times in the final moments of the game.

FINISHING TOUCH Through seven games played, the Timbers lead MLS in goals scored, finding the back of the net 16 times to average 2.3 goals per game. Additionally, Portland has scored at least one goal in six of its first seven games this season.

UPCOMING MILESTONES Following his next assist, Darlington Nagbe, who has 27 career assists, will move into fifth place in club history across all eras (since 1975) for assists. With a win against Vancouver Whitecaps FC, the Timbers would record their eighth win against their Cascadia rivals since 2011, marking the most wins by the TImbers against another MLS club during that timespan. Additionally, with a win or a draw, the Timbers would extend their home unbeaten streak against Whitecaps to five games, with Portland producing a 4-2 win at Providence Park last season on May 22, 2016.

CASCADIA CUP AT A GLANCE Last season, the Timbers narrowly missed out on their second MLS Cascadia Cup championship due to goal difference, with Portland placing second place in the annual competition behind Whitecaps FC, as all three teams finished with nine points. Overall, the Timbers have won three Cascadia Cup titles since its formal inception in 2004.

DEFENSIVE EFFORT The Timbers rank second in MLS for tackles with 143 in 2017. Additionally, the Timbers are the only team in the league with two players in the top seven for tackles, with Alvas Powell and Diego Chara ranking among the league leaders.

CLUBMAN FEWEST LOSSES Since 2013, the Timbers, who have only lost twice this season, are tied with the New York Red Bulls for the second fewest losses in MLS in regular-season action (41), and the second-fewest in the Western Conference. During that stretch, only the LA Galaxy (39) have lost fewer matches in regular-season play.

With a goal against the Union on April 8, midfielder Darlington Nagbe became the first Timbers player across all eras of the club (since 1975) to score in seven different seasons (2011-2017) for Portland. Additionally, with the finish, Nagbe ranks tied for the ninth-most goals scored in club history, with 25 regularseason goals, becoming the fourth player in club history across all eras (since 1975) to record at least 25 goals and 25 assists, joining Diego Valeri, John Bain and Clyde Best.

GOAL DIFFERENCE With the Timbers only conceding nine goals this season, averaging just 1.3 goals against per game, Portland ranks tied with Atlanta United for the highest goal difference (+7) in MLS through seven games played.

EL MAESTRO Since joining MLS in 2013, Diego Valeri has recorded the most assists in MLS (45), and no team has been on the receiving end of Valeri’s assists more than Whitecaps FC (6).

TIMBERS INJURY REPORT OUT: Gbenga Arokoyo (achilles) QUESTIONABLE: * As of April 20, 2017

SPREADING THE WEALTH With defender Roy Miller and midfielder Darlington Nagbe each scoring their first goal of the season on April 8, the Timbers have had eight different players score through their first seven games, which ranks as the most in MLS. Additionally, eight different players have also been credited with at least one assist in 2017, Diego Valeri tallying a team-high three assists.
