LAST MATCH RECAP The Portland Timbers defeated Minnesota United FC 5-1 at Providence Park on March 3, marking the Timbers’ largest victory in a season-opening match during the team’s MLS era. Three different players scored for Portland in the win, with forward Fanendo Adi and midfielder Diego Valeri each recording a brace and defender Lawrence Olum, opening the score, as the Timbers recorded five goals at home in a regular-season match for the first time in MLS.

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 53-39-44, 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 LA GALAXY SUNDAY, MARCH 12, 2017 PREVIOUS MATCH - PORTLAND TIMBERS VS. MINNESOTA UNITED FC (W 5-1) BOX SCORE

MATCH RECAP The Portland Timbers defeated Minnesota United FC 5-1 before a sold-out crowd of 21,144 fans at Providence Park on March 3, marking the Timbers’ largest victory in a season-opening match during the team’s MLS era.

Three different players scored for Portland in the win, with forward Fanendo Adi and midfielder Diego Valeri each recording a brace and defender Lawrence Olum scoring his first MLS goal for the club, as the Timbers recorded five goals at home in a regular-season match for the first time in MLS. Additionally, defender Vytas and midfielder Darlington Nagbe recorded their first assists of the season, while midfielder Sebastián Blanco notched his first MLS assist in his regular-season debut, as Portland converted five of its six shots on target.

Attacking early in the game, the Timbers (1-0-0, 3pts) opened the scoring less than 15 minutes into the match when a well-placed free kick from Valeri created the scoring chance for Olum in the 14th minute of play. Valeri’s set piece found defender Vytas at the near post, who flicked the ball across the face of goal to Olum for a close-range finish.

Two minutes into the second half, Portland doubled its lead when Valeri scored a whipping header from Blanco’s curling cross into the box. The finish occurred after an effective combination play from the Timbers, with Adi receiving defender Alvas Powell’s driven pass with his back to goal, before playing the ball out wide for Blanco, who found Valeri at the back post for the header.

Following a finish from United (0-1-0, 0pts) striker Christian Ramirez in the 79th minute, the Timbers scored three goals in the final 11 minutes of the match to extend their lead late in the second half. Just three minutes after Ramirez’s goal, Portland struck for its third finish of the game when Adi was brought down by defender Vadim Demidov inside the box, allowing Valeri to score his second goal of the game, with the midfielder burying his effort from the penalty spot into the far left corner.

Adi managed to record his brace in the final three minutes of the game, scoring in the 91st and 93rd minutes, respectively.

Since making his debut on May 17, 2014, Adi’s 12 multi-goal games are the second-most in MLS play in that timespan behind only New York Red Bulls striker Bradley Wright-Phillips (14).

Adi now has the second-most goals across all eras in Timbers history with 43, ranking just two goals behind John Bain (45). Valeri’s 39 goals move him into fourth place on the team’s all-time scoring list.

Dating back to last season, Adi has scored in six consecutive home matches for the Timbers. Portland has won all six of those matches. Adi has scored in six consecutive home matches for the Timbers. Portland has won all six of those matches.

QUOTES Portland Timbers head coach Caleb Porter On the team’s performance…

“Good performance. I do think it was a closer game than 5-1. I said that to Adrian [Heath] after the game. Minnesota, they are going to beat some teams. I thought they showed some real bright spots in their team. To go 2-1 when you look at that margin, it could have gone the other way. That was the one thing for me at 2-0 we have to go for the jugular and make it three and put the game away. But what I will say is the way we managed that last 10 minutes our mentality to not concede another goal and to score three goals ourselves, that shows this group when they want to score, when they play aggressive, it’s scary. But I want to see it a little bit more. There were some periods where we took our foot off the pedal. We let them have the ball, but in saying that they rarely broke us down. They had a lot of possession, but they rarely penetrated. I thought overall the back four did a really nice job of managing the counter attack, which is what we knew we would be dealing with, and managing the runs behind, which is what we knew they would look to do. Overall, very good game.”

Portland Timbers forward Fanendo Adi On the talent of the team…

“The chemistry is there. This is a team that has played together for a while. Having [Sebastián] Blanco and [David] Guzmán in has brought a lot of different dimensions to the team. Guzmán is a guy that holds the ball for us, and Blanco is a guy that plays both left and right. They’re amazing additions to the team.”

PORTLAND TIMBERS AT LA GALAXY SUNDAY, MARCH 12, 2017 ALL-TIME SERIES NOTES Sunday’s match marks the 17th league game between Portland and the LA Galaxy since 2011. Dating back to March 2015, the Timbers have only lost twice in their last five regular-season matches against the Galaxy. Additionally, Portland is unbeaten in its last two fixtures against the Galaxy at the StubHub Center.

After scoring five second-half goals to defeat LA 5-2 at the StubHub Center on Oct. 18, 2015, Portland earned an away point with a 1-1 draw against the Galaxy on April 10, 2016, in its only league match in southern California last season.

Forward Fanendo Adi scored the Timbers lone goal in the match. Since joining the Timbers midway through 2014, Adi has scored the most goals against the Galaxy during that stretch (5).

LAST TIME VS. GALAXY The Timbers surrendered a pair of goals in the first half and were unable to overcome the deficit, falling 2-1 to the LA Galaxy before 21,144 fans at Providence Park on July 23, 2016.

PORTLAND TIMBERS AT LA GALAXY SUNDAY, MARCH 12, 2017 SCOUTING GALAXY The Galaxy enter Sunday’s match coming off the team’s first defeat of the season after dropping three points at home in a 2-1 defeat to FC Dallas on March 4. Mexican forward Giovanni dos Santos scored the team’s lone goal in the match against Dallas, converting a well-placed effort into the top corner from the penalty spot. Heading into the 2017 MLS season, the Galaxy had a number of changes to their roster during the offseason, including the departure of Irish striker Robbie Keane, who scored 83 goals and recorded 45 assists in six seasons with the Galaxy, and midfielder Steven Gerrard, who announced his retirement as a player following the 2016 campaign. Additionally, 2016 head coach Bruce Arena and assistant coach Dave Sarachan have also left the club, joining the United States Men’s Natioal Team. The Galaxy acquired eight players during the offseason, including U.S. Men’s National Team midfielder Jermaine Jones and midfielder Romain Alessandrini. Transferring from French club Olympique Marseille, Alessandrini brings over 200 professional appearances.

FACING THE GALAXY The Timbers have lost just two times in their last five matches played against the Galaxy (1-2-2), scoring nine goals during that five-game stretch, dating back to March 15, 2015. Additionally, since the start of the 2014 season, forward Fanendo Adi has scored the most goals against the Galaxy in regular-season action, recording five finishes against LA.

UPCOMING MILESTONES With his next two assists, midfielder Diego Valeri will move into a tie for third place in Timbers history across all eras (since 1975) for assists. Since joining the Timbers in 2013, Valeri has produced 42 assists.

Following his next finish, Darlington Nagbe, who has recorded 24 goals since joining the Timbers, will move into a tie for ninth place for goals scored in club history across all eras (since 1975). Additionally, with two more assists, Nagbe, who has 26 career assists, will move into fifth place in club history across all eras (since 1975) for assists.

With his next two MLS goals, forward Fanendo Adi will move into a tie for the most goals scored across all eras of the club (since 1975). Adi currently has 43 league goals for Portland, while John Bain ranks first with 45 goals.

PENALTY KICKS With midfielder Diego Valeri scoring from the penalty spot in the Portland’s opening match of the 2017 regular season, the Timbers now rank tied for the most penalties taken in MLS, dating back to the start of the 2015 regular season, with 16 penalties. In 2016, the Timbers took 10 penalties in 34 games, ranking as the most in MLS.

STRIKE RATE 50-50 CHALLENGES No team was better on 50-50 balls during the league’s opening week than the Portland Timbers, with the team winning 62.5 percent of the duels they were involved in (50 of 80). Additionally, midfielder David Guzmán provided an instant spark in the Timbers midfield. The Costa Rican international was the only midfielder in MLS to record four or more tackles and four or more interceptions in week one.

In the team’s 5-1 win against Minnesota on March 3, forward Fanendo Adi notched a brace for the 12th time in his Portland Timbers career, which is the most in the club’s MLS history. Since making his debut on May 17, 2014, Adi’s 12 multi-goal games are the second-most in MLS play in that timespan behind only New York Red Bulls striker Bradley Wright-Phillips (14). Adi now has the second-most goals across all eras in Timbers history with 43, ranking just two goals behind John Bain (45).

BATTLING THROUGH FOULS FEWEST LOSSES Since 2013, the Timbers have lost the third-fewest games in MLS in regular season action (39), and the second-fewest in the Western Conference. During that stretch, only the LA Galaxy (36) and New York Red Bulls (38) have lost fewer matches in regular-season play.

Over the last three seasons, the Timbers have been one of the most fouled teams in the league, with Portland suffering the second-most fouls in MLS. Dating back to the start of the 2015 MLS season, the Timbers have won 902 fouls in regular-season play. During that stretch, the only team to suffer more fouls in regular-season action is the San Jose Earthquakes, with the Western Conference team suffering five more fouls than the Timbers (907).

FINISHING TOUCH

EL MAESTRO

The Timbers became the fourth team in MLS history to score five goals in their season opener with a 5-1 win against Minnesota on March 3, joining the Houston Dynamo (2006), the Tampa Bay Mutiny (2000) and D.C. United (1999). The five-goal performance marked the most goals scored by the Timbers in a season opener since 1982. Additionally, the Timbers four second-half goals were the most the Timbers have ever scored in the second half of a home match.

In Portland’s opening match of the 2017 season, midfielder Diego Valeri scored a brace and tallied an assist, earning MLS Player of the Week and Team of the Week honors. Valeri is the first Timbers player to score in consecutive home or season openers in MLS play. Additionally, for the fifth time in his Portland career, Valeri scored two goals in a single match. With the brace, the Argentinian, who led the Timbers in chances created last season, currently has 39 career goals for Portland, ranking fourth across all eras of the club (since 1975).
