FOURTH-ROUND MATCH RECAP The Timbers advanced to the fifth round of the 2014 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup tournament with a 3-0 win over USL Premier Development League (PDL) side Orlando City U23s at Providence Park on June 17. Midfielder Gastón Fernández registered a first-half brace, scoring the opening goal with a strike from distance in the 11th minute before adding a second goal on a penalty kick nine minutes before halftime. Rookie defender Taylor Peay, making his Timbers debut on Tuesday, netted his first professional goal in the 68th minute with a low drive from the right side of the penalty box off an assist from forward Maximiliano Urruti. Urruti logged two assists in a match for the first time with the Timbers, playing a part in all three goals as it was his quick run into the penalty box that drew the spot kick in the first half. The Timbers attempted 21 shots, including 10 on goal and earned a season-high 14 corner kicks in all competitions in the win.

The club proceeded to sell out 51 consecutive regular-season home games in the team’s first three MLS seasons. Last year, the club earned an 11-1-5 overall regular-season home record in 17 games, which was the best home record in MLS. The Timbers compiled an MLS-club record 22-game unbeaten streak at Providence Park from April 6, 2013 to June 1, 2014.
