LAST MATCH RECAP The Portland Timbers defeated Cascadia-rival Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2-1 before 25,082 fans at BC Place on July 23. In his first career MLS start, forward Jeremy Ebobisse tallied a goal and an assist in the win, while midfielder Sebastián Blanco scored the game-winning goal and added an assist. Fielding a squad of 16 players, the Timbers opened the scoring in the 14th minute of play when Ebobisse scored his first career MLS goal, finishing midfielder Dairon Asprilla’s pass. Blanco added the team’s second goal in the 49th minute.

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.

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 61-47-50, 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 AT HOUSTON DYNAMO SATURDAY, JULY 29, 2017 PREVIOUS MATCH - PORTLAND TIMBERS VS VANCOUVER WHITECAPS FC (W 2-1) MATCH RECAP

BOX SCORE

The Portland Timbers defeated Cascadia-rival Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2-1 before 25,082 fans at BC Place on Sunday afternoon. In his first career MLS start, forward Jeremy Ebobisse tallied a goal and an assist in the win, while midfielder Sebastián Blanco scored the game-winning goal and added an assist. Fielding a squad of 16 players, the Timbers (8-8-6, 30pts) opened the scoring in the 14th minute of play when Ebobisse, the Timbers’ first-round pick (No. 4 overall) in the 2017 MLS SuperDraft, scored his first career MLS goal, finishing midfielder Dairon Asprilla’s pass. The play started when Blanco played the ball toward the right side of the box for Asprilla, who drove a hard pass into the six-yard box for Ebobisse, who quickly redirected his effort on target and into the back of the net. With the finish, Ebobisse became the third-youngest player to score in the Timbers MLS era and the 13th different Portland player to score in 2017. Whitecaps FC (8-8-3, 27pts) managed to level the scoreline in the final minute of the first half when a curling corner kick from midfielder Christian Bolanos found defender Tim Parker at the near post. Parker redirected his header into traffic, allowing defender Andrew Jacobson to finish from close range. But, the Timbers responded just four minutes into the second half to regain the lead when Ebobisse produced a clever back heel inside the 18-yard box, creating a clear shot for Blanco, who carefully placed his effort past Ousted and into the bottom corner at the near post in the 49th minute of play. The finish marked Blanco’s fourth goal of the campaign, with the midfielder scoring twice in the last three games. Portland goalkeeper Jake Gleeson recorded four saves in the match against Vancouver, including a strong save on midfielder Brek Shea’s close-range effort in the 80th minute, with Gleeson reacting quickly to push Shea’s effort wide. With the win, the Timbers moved into sole procession of the top spot in the 2017 Cascadia Cup standings, three points ahead of Seattle Sounders FC and four points ahead of Vancouver.

Portland leads the Cascadia Cup standings with seven points, ahead of Seattle’s four points and Vancouver’s three points. Portland now has four victories at BC Place in MLS regular-season matches, the most of any road venue for the club in MLS play. The Timbers have scored 33 goals against Whitecaps FC in MLS matches. The 33 goals are the most goals scored by the Timbers against any single MLS opponent. Portland’s three road victories this season are tied for the second-most among MLS Western Conference teams. Jeremy Ebobisse scored his first career MLS goal. At 20-years-and-159-days, Ebobisse is the third-youngest Timbers player to score in an MLS match, older than only Alvas Powell and Andrew Jean-Baptiste. Ebobisse registered his first career assist in the match. Midfielder Sebastián Blanco scored his fourth goal of the season, the third-most on the team this season. Blanco also delivered his fifth assist of the season. Dairon Asprilla recorded his second assist of the season and the fourth of his Portland career. Defender Harold Hanson became the youngest Timbers player to play in an MLS match at 18-years-and-seven-days. The record was previously held by Marco Farfan, who made his MLS debut earlier this season. Hanson and forward Augustine Williams were signed to short-term agreements from T2 due to extreme hardship leading into the game. For just the fifth time, the Timbers had multiple players notch both a goal and assist in the same match. With Ebobisse’s goal, Portland now has 13 different goal-scorers this season.

NOTABLE QUOTES Portland Timbers head coach Caleb Porter Overall thoughts on the match… “Yeah, this is one of those moments that reminds you as a coach why you roll up your sleeves and go to work every single day. There have been a lot of bullets flying everywhere and we brought that on ourselves, but some of that it has been really unlucky with some of the injuries and adversity that we’ve had. I said to the guys all week and reminded them before the game that when it’s easy, it’s easy to do things right and it’s easy to go out and be confident and play well. It’s not easy when results aren’t going your way. It’s not easy when you have a thin roster. It’s not easy when you’re playing guys in different roles than you’ve played them. But, the true professionals, the guys with character, which I know I have a locker room full of them which is why I picked them, I knew that I’d see the best out of them. I thought our mentality was excellent for the 90 minutes. We started well and scored the goal. We responded well after giving up the goal. You could see we had great belief all game long, which isn’t easy with a group of guys that haven’t played together, and so from that standpoint, mentality wise, it was excellent. I thought organizationally we were spot on. Defensively, we really played well in our team defending. And I thought in the attack, we were the team that was always looking to be dangerous and running at their back four even late in the game. I thought we were the better team today on both sides of the ball, and I thought we were deserved winners today.” On Jeremy Ebobisse’s performance… “We want young players coming through here. We thought he had a lot of talent when we drafted him and we’ve seen a lot of flashes from him in training and even though at this moment he’s kind of third behind two very good strikers in Adi and Mattocks, we had a lot of confidence in him. We crafted somewhat of an attacking plan to suit him where we were looking to play behind a bit more and he set up the second goal and scored the first goal. So, he showed a lot of promise and that’s exciting for him and for the club moving forward to know we have a young horse in the stable that is going to continue to get better, and he showed a lot of confidence in his debut start.”
