BOX SCORE

Playing their third straight road match to start the season, the Portland Timbers fell 3-0 to FC Cincinnati at Nippert Stadium in front of 32,250 fans on March 17. Key plays FC Cincinnati took a 1-0 lead on a set piece in the 15th minute. Leonardo Bertone served the ball into the box from 25 yards out and Kendall Waston deposited a diving header into the back of the net. Portland generated consecutive scoring chances in the 32nd minute. Cristhian Paredes laid the ball off for Bill Tuiloma at the edge of the box, and he unleashed a long-range strike, forcing a diving save by FC Cincinnati goalkeeper Spencer Richey. On the ensuing corner kick, Larrys Mabiala flicked the ball on for Dairon Asprilla near the left post, but his shot from point-blank range was also saved by Richey. FC Cincinnati added two goals in a three-minute span in the second half to increase its lead to 3-0. Roland Lamah’s initial shot took a deflection and Allan Cruz sent a back-heel shot just inside the left post from close range in the 61st minute. Less than two minutes later, Victor Ulloa sent a cross from the left side for Darren Mattocks, who played a cross back to the left post for Mathieu Deplagne, who converted from close range in the 63rd minute. Diego Valeri narrowly missed scoring for the Timbers in the 78th minute. Valeri chased down the ball after his initial corner kick was cleared and fired a shot from the left wing inside the box that Richey parried just wide of the right post.

NOTABLE QUOTES Portland Timbers head coach Giovanni Savarese On his thoughts after the loss… “We knew these 12 games away from home were going to be difficult, especially coming to places like this. It was their home opener, there was excitement. And sometimes there are moments in the game that don’t go our way. We also have to be realistic in the sense that it was not good enough. It’s not good enough from the sense that we gave up too many goals and we need to be better. We need to continue to work. We need to continue to have a belief. This is not what we want to represent for our fans and we are not happy and we cannot live on what we did last year. We have to make sure that we do things this year and unfortunately today was not a good day for us and we have to figure things out. It’s unfortunate also that it’s another game where we go down to 10 men. Those are situations I think that go beyond our control and it’s unfortunate, but that’s not the reason that we lost 3-0. We need to be better in many areas.”

NOTES • • • • • •

Claude Dielna, Cristhian Paredes and Bill Tuiloma made their season debuts in the match. Dielna made his Timbers debut in the match. Diego Valeri played in his 200th MLS match Portland (regular season and playoffs). Dairon Asprilla, Dielna, Lucas Melano, Paredes and Tuiloma all earned their first start of the season. In the 44-year history of the Timbers, Nippert Stadium is the 106th different visiting stadium the club has played a league match in. FC Cincinnati is the 107th different team to the Timbers have played since the club’s founding in 1975.

Portland Timbers goalkeeper Jeff Attinella Overall thoughts on the loss… “I just think that as a team we could probably take away that it is a little bit of a gut check time. This obviously isn’t the way we wanted the season to start, but at the end of the day we are dealing with adversity right now. Our team is going to come together. Luckily we have that bye week coming up, so the team can kind of regroup a little bit and get this thing turned in the right direction.” On what the team needs to do to get better on the defensive side of the ball… “We’ve got to just dig in. We’ve got to watch the film. We’ve got to learn from these mistakes that keep happening. For me personally, the first thing I can do is look in the mirror and see what I can do better. Maybe I can do better organizing, do things to prevent these balls from coming in. And I think as a team it’s just about being on the same page. These runners sneaking in between, maybe it’s a lack of communication. Maybe it’s guys losing their marks a little. The first thing for every one of us is looking in the mirror and figuring out what we can do to make the team a little bit better and get this team trending in the right way.”

Utilizing Targeted Allocation Money (TAM), the Timbers acquired defender Jorge Moreira on loan with a purchase option from Superliga Argentina side River Plate on Feb. 20. Moreira played the past three Superliga Argentina seasons with River Plate (2016-19), helping the club claim the 2018 CONMEBOL Copa Libertadores, the 2017 Supercopa Argentina, the 2015-16 and 2016-17 Copa Argentina and the 2016 CONMEBOL Recopa Sudamericana. Midfielders Marvin Loría and Renzo Zambrano were signed from T2 on Dec. 10, 2018, after both players played key roles in helping guide the club to the first playoff appearance in team history last season.

His goals-against-average of 1.06 finished as the third-lowest during the 2018 regular season amongst goalkeepers with at least 10 starts. Attinella’s 1.06 goals-against average was the second lowest in team history (MLS era) behind only Donovan Ricketts’ 0.97 goals-against average set in 2013. As a team, the Timbers ranked sixth in the league in fewest-goals allowed (48) in 2018.
