LAST MATCH RECAP In their opening match of the 2016-17 Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League (CCL) tournament, the Portland Timbers defeated C.D. Dragon 2-1 before 16,268 fans at Providence Park on Aug. 3. Forward Jack McInerney and midfielder Diego Valeri both tallied goals for Portland.
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 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.
