LAST MATCH RECAP The Timbers dominated possession, logged an MLS season-high in passing accuracy and battled back from a halftime deficit with a goal in the 82nd minute to level the match, but a game-winning goal in second-half stoppage time lifted Vancouver Whitecaps FC to a 2-1 victory in front of 22,500 fans at BC Place on March 28. Portland maintained 66 percent of possession throughout the match and finished with an MLS season-best 88-percent passing accuracy – completing 448 of 510 total passes – but Cascadia-rival Vancouver took a first-half lead in the 15th minute. Forward Fanendo Adi leveled the score with a goal in the 82nd minute, but Whitecaps FC tallied the winning in stoppage time.

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 team’s first four 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.
