LAST MATCH RECAP The Timbers advanced to the Round of 16 in the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup with a 3-1 win after extra time against Cascadia-rival Seattle Sounders FC in front of 4,022 fans at Starfire Stadium in Tukwila, Wash., on Tuesday night. Timbers midfielder Rodney Wallace registered a goal and an assist in the victory, netting the game-winning goal 10 minutes into the first half of extra time, while forward Maximiliano Urruti added a late insurance goal in the 116th minute. Setting Portland off on the right foot, midfielder Diego Valeri tallied the opening goal for the Timbers in the 48th minute off a cross from Wallace on the left flank. Seattle picked up a goal in the 79th minute, but finished the match with seven players due to three red cards and a late-game injury.

NO PLACE LIKE 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 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.
