LAST MATCH RECAP The Portland Timbers battled the Montreal Impact to a 2-2 draw before 21,144 fans at Providence Park on July 21, extending their unbeaten streak to 13 games in league play as the Timbers played their first of four consecutive matches at home.

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 eight 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 GIOVANNI SAVARESE Entering his first season with the club after being named head coach on Dec. 18, 2017, Savarese, the third head coach in Portland’s MLS history, brings over 25 years of professional experience as a player and coach to the Timbers organization. A native of Caracas, Venezuela, Savarese joined the Timbers after spending the past five seasons as the head coach and sporting director of the New York Cosmos, where he developed one of the most successful clubs in the NASL, compiling a 6526-44 record in 135 regular-season games, including a career-best 20-7-5 record in 2016 and an undefeated NASL Spring Season in 2015. Additionally, the Cosmos scored 223 goals during Savarese’s five seasons at the helm, which rank as the most in the NASL during that stretch. Savarese also led the Cosmos to four Soccer Bowl appearances, claiming the 2013, 2015 and 2016 championships. Most recently, after a 10-7-15 record in the 2017 regular season, Savarese guided the Cosmos to their third straight appearance in the NASL championship match, narrowly falling 2-0 to the San Francisco Deltas. Prior to joining the Cosmos organization, Savarese, who holds a USSF “A” license, served as the head of youth development for the New York MetroStars/Red Bulls from 2005-2007, before joining the Cosmos as the club’s academy director in 2010, with a focus on developing youth talent in the greater New York area. Savarese served as the Cosmos academy director for two years before being announced as the head coach of the first Cosmos team in 28 years on November 19, 2012. Savarese enjoyed an 18-year professional playing career, including five seasons in Major League Soccer, scoring 159 goals in 322 games played in various leagues in the United States, Venezuela, Italy and England. At the international level, Savarese earned 30 caps for the Venezuela National Team from 1989-2001, scoring 10 goals, including a notable finish against South American rival Argentina in 1996. After beginning his professional career in Venezuela with Deportivo Italia in 1986, Savarese spent five seasons (1990-95) playing in the Cosmopolitan Soccer League and the USISL before being drafted by the MetroStars in the inaugural MLS SuperDraft in 1996 as the ninth overall selection, notching a teamrecord 41 goals and 94 points in 85 regular-season appearances during three seasons with the club. The striker’s record stood until 2009 when it was surpassed by Juan Pablo Angel. Following his three seasons with the MetroStars, Savarese spent the 1999 MLS campaign with the New England Revolution, scoring 10 goals in 27 appearances. Shortly afterward, Savarese joined Italian Serie A club A.C. Perugia and was loaned to A.S. Viterbese in 2000, before returning stateside to join the San Jose Earthquakes in the 2000 MLS season. After a brief stint with the Earthquakes, Savarese joined Swansea City where he scored 14 goals across all competitions, prior to signing with Millwall F.C. in 2001. Following short spells with Venezuelan club Deportivo Italchacao and Italian club Sassari Torres, Savarese’s playing career concluded in 2004 after scoring five goals in 10 appearances with the Long Island Rough Riders. In the collegiate ranks, Savarese enjoyed a four-year (1990-93) playing career with Long Island University after moving to the United States from Venezuela in 1990. Savarese has also served as a member of the media, working as an analyst for ESPN International and ESPN Deportes. Giovanni and his wife, Michelle, have two daughters, Valentina and Alessandra.

PORTLAND TIMBERS VS HOUSTON DYNAMO SATURDAY, JULY 28, 2018 PREVIOUS MATCH - PORTLAND TIMBERS VS MONTREAL IMPACT (T 2-2) MATCH RECAP

BOX SCORE

The Portland Timbers battled the Montreal Impact to a 2-2 draw before 21,144 fans at Providence Park on Saturday night, extending their unbeaten streak to 13 games in league play as the Timbers played their first of four consecutive matches at home. Midfielder Diego Valeri and forward Samuel Armenteros each scored in the draw, with both players ranking tied for the most league goals (7) on the team in 2018.

VS.

Recent form With the draw, the Timbers (8-3-7, 31pts) have not suffered a loss in league play since April 8, producing a 13-game unbeaten run during that stretch. Portland’s 13-game unbeaten run over the span of three months is the longest active streak in MLS and the longest in the league in 2018. The Timbers set a club record for consecutive games without a loss in the 2013 campaign, producing a 15-game unbeaten streak. Home form With the 2-2 result against the Impact (9-12-1, 28pts) – the Eastern Conference side’s first draw of the season – the Timbers remain unbeaten in eight games at Providence Park this season, tallying a 5-0-3 home record in 2018. The Timbers’ home form puts them as one of five teams in MLS with an unbeaten home record at this stage of the season, alongside FC Dallas, Los Angeles FC, New York City FC and D.C. United. Additionally, the Timbers are unbeaten in their last 14 home regular-season matches, with a record of 11-0-3. Portland’s last home regular-season loss occurred more than a year ago on July 19, 2017.

Key plays Montreal found the game’s opening goal when midfielder Alejandro Silva pulled the ball back across the box for midfielder Saphir Taider, who converted a first-time chance. The Timbers equalized in the 39th minute when midfielder Cristhian Paredes’ volley from inside the box forced goalkeeper Evan Bush to drop the ball on the edge of the six-yard box, allowing Armenteros to pounce on the rebound and calmly slot the ball into the back of the net. Just two minutes after Portland leveled the score, Montreal regained the lead when forward Matteo Mancosu got in behind the defense and placed his effort into the far corner in the 41st minute. Portland tied the game in the 65th minute when a cross into the box from Blanco forced to Bush to once again bobble the ball. Quickly reacting to the dropped cross, Valeri carefully nodded the ball away from close range to notch his seventh goal of the season.

NOTABLE QUOTES Portland Timbers head coach Giovanni Savarese On how he would evaluate the performance… “As you said, it’s a game of two halves. The first half we didn’t bring the energy we needed to bring. We were not organized the way we usually are. We allowed two goals in plays that usually we don’t allow those plays to happen. But as well, when a team plays three matches, especially when you practice out of your facility for a whole week and you cannot get the guys together to work on the tactics because either they are traveling, they are tired, coming back, I thought what I saw in the second half was great. A great response. A great spirit. We did very well. We closed the spaces. We created chances. And we played against a difficult team that came here to be able to make it difficult on us. They played a counter game. They closed spaces. They gave us the ball to try to be able to play, and then when they won it they found space. But in the second half I thought we did a fantastic job. And if we would have played the way we played in the second half in the first half, maybe the result would have been different.” Portland Timbers midfielder Sebastián Blanco On being able to come back from behind… “We need to play the way we did in the second half. We can’t lose any more points at home. Four games at home is very important. We want to fight for the top of the table. I’m disappointed in the first half and happy with the second half. It’s not enough.” On playing a lot of games and being away… “We stayed in LA for five days. We played in difficult weather two games against a very, very hard team in LA. It’s no excuse of course, but in the first half I think we felt tired. In the second half we came back but we need to work for 90 minutes.”

PORTLAND TIMBERS VS HOUSTON DYNAMO SATURDAY, JULY 28, 2018 SCOUTING HOUSTON Houston enters Saturday’s match coming off a 3-1 home loss against the Philadelphia Union on Wednesday, with Dynamo midfielder Tomás Martinez receiving a red card in the second half, making him unavailable for Saturday’s match against the Timbers. The result against Philadelphia snapped a five-game unbeaten run across all competitions for Houston, dating back to July 3. Forward Mauro Manotas leads the team in goals scored (11), while midfielder Romell Quioto has the most assists on the team (11).

HEADS UP Through their first 18 games in league play, the Timbers are tied for the most headed goals (10) in MLS, with midfielder Diego Valeri scoring the team’s most recent header in a 2-2 draw against the Montreal Impact on July 21. Portland defender Larrys Mabiala has recorded four total goals in 2018, all headers, ranking tied with Zlatan Ibrahimovic for the second-most headed goals in the league in 2018.

UPCOMING MILESTONES With a win or a draw in Saturday’s match, the Timbers would extend their unbeaten run to 14 games since April 14. Portland’s 15-game unbeaten run in 2013 is the longest in the club’s MLS era. With his next two appearances, goalkeeper Jeff Attinella will match a career high (14) for games played in a regular-season campaign.

MLS ALL-STAR Selected by MLS fans, midfielder Diego Valeri was voted to the 2018 MLS AllStar Fan XI presented by Target, marking the fifth time in six seasons Valeri has been recognized as an MLS All-Star. Valeri is the third player in MLS history to earn MLS MVP, MLS Cup MVP, five MLS All-Star and three MLS Best XI honors, joining former MLS players Dwayne De Rosario and Landon Donovan. The MLS All-Stars will face Juventus at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Aug. 1.

MLS HOMEGROWN GAME SCORING AT HOME Since the start of the 2016 season, the Timbers have been one of the most prolific home teams in the league, with 87 goals scored at Providence Park. Portland’s 87 goals since 2016 rank tied as the fifth-most in the league, despite playing at least one less home regular-season match than teams in the league that have score more home goals than the Timbers in league action during that stretch.

HOME FORM Despite playing their first five games of the 2018 campaign away from home, the Timbers still maintain one of the strongest home records since the start of the 2016 campaign. During that stretch, Portland has recorded 28 wins (28-5-9) at home, which ranks tied as the second-most in the league, despite playing fewer games than MLS teams ranked in the top five for home wins during that span.

Timbers defender Marco Farfan has been named to the 20-man roster for the 2018 MLS Homegrown Game against Tigres UANL’s U-20 side on July 31. The announcement marks the second consecutive year that Farfan has been named to the MLS Homegrown roster.

STINGY DEFENSE Since the team’s unbeaten streak started in mid-April, Portland has conceded just 12 goals in regular-season play during that stretch, which is two fewer than any other club in that span. For comparison, the Dynamo have conceded 24 goals since April 14.

BETWEEN THE PIPES In his 12 regular-season starts this season, goalkeeper Jeff Attinella is undefeated and has conceded just 10 goals. His goals-against-average of 0.83 is the best in the league. Additionally, Attinella’s 404-minute clean-sheet streak (April 14-May 19) is the longest by a Timbers goalkeeper in MLS play. As a team, the Timbers have conceded the third-fewest goals (24) in the league this season.

SET PIECE THREAT

CLEAN-SHEET VICTORIES

Reigning MLS MVP Diego Valeri has recorded a league-high four assists direct from set pieces this season. The four dead-ball assists are the most Valeri has had in a single season and ties David Guzman (4 in 2017) for the most set-piece assists in a single season by a Timbers player.

Prior to the team’s 2-1 win over LAFC on May 19, the Timbers recorded three consecutive shutout victories for the first time in their MLS era and the first time across all eras in club history (since 1975) since a four-game shutout streak in the 2007 campaign (June 28-July 13, 2007). Dating back to the start of the 2015 MLS campaign, the Timbers are tied for the fifth-most clean sheets in MLS, with 30 shutouts during that stretch.

EXTENDED HOME STAND Saturday’s match against the Houston Dynamo marks the second of four consecutive home games for the Timbers, with Portland set to also play host to the Philadelphia Union and Vancouver Whitecaps FC. This stretch will mark the first time in the club’s MLS era that the team has played four consecutive matches at home.

TIMBERS INJURY REPORT QUESTIONABLE: Samuel Armenteros (Back) OUT: n/a * As of July 26, 2018

MILESTONE MARKER In Portland’s last match - a 2-2 draw against the Montreal Impact on July 21 - midfielder Sebastian Blanco became the 24th Timbers player to play 50 MLS matches with the club. Blanco has the eighth-most MLS goals and seventh-most MLS assists for the Timbers since the team joined the league in 2011.

REIGNING MVP Midfielder Diego Valeri enters the 2018 MLS season as the reigning Landon Donovan MLS Most Valuable Player, after becoming the first Timbers player to receive MLS MVP honors following a record-setting 2017 campaign. Valeri’s record-setting season was highlighted by a team-high 21 goals, a career-high for the midfielder, and a team-high 11 assists, marking the fourth time the midfielder has hit double digits in goals and assists in his five seasons in MLS.
