BOX SCORE

Behind a second-half goal from forward Brian Fernandez, the Portland Timbers secured a point on the road with a 1-1 draw against the Houston Dynamo at BBVA Compass Stadium on May 15. Making his MLS and Timbers debut, Fernandez notched the game-tying goal in the 77th minute, while Sebastián Blanco tallied his fifth assist of the season.

AT

Key plays Timbers goalkeeper Jeff Attinella made consecutive stops in the 12th minute of the match, first, denying Alberth Elis from point-blank range near the right post, and then diving to his left to parry away a curling strike from the edge of the box by Elis. Portland came close to opening the scoring in the 16th minute. On the counter-attack, Andy Polo played a quick back-heel pass to Blanco making a run to the edge of the box. Blanco fired a long-range effort toward goal, but it bounced off the crossbar. Receiving the ball near the left corner of the box, Blanco spotted Jeremy Ebobisse making a run inside the box toward goal. Blanco delivered a pinpoint pass to Ebobisse, who hit a one-time shot from close range that went just wide of the right post in the 28th minute. Houston secured a 1-0 lead in the 40th minute, converting off a corner kick. Elis flicked the ball on with a header in the center of the box, finding Mauro Manotas, who directed the ball with his chest into the back of the net near the left post. Diego Valeri created the first scoring chance of the second half on a direct free kick. Valeri fired a shot on target from 35 yards out, forcing a save by Houston goalkeeper Joe Willis in the 48th minute. On his Timbers debut, Fernandez leveled the match in the 77th minute. Blanco quickly switched the point of the attack from the left side, serving a ball from Houston’s half of the field to find Fernandez making a perfectly timed run in behind the Dynamo defense. Fernandez settled the ball just outside the box and finished with a right-footed shot into the bottom left corner. Finishing the match with eight saves, Attinella kept the score level in the 88th minute. Leading the break for Houston, Romell Quioto dribbled to the edge of the box and sent a hard, low strike toward the bottom right corner of the goal, but Attinella dove to his left to stop the attempt.

Making his Timbers debut, Brian Fernandez scored his first MLS goal. Fernandez scored his goal 12 minutes after entering the match. It is the quickest goal ever scored by a Timbers player in his MLS debut. The previous record was held by Diego Valeri, who scored 14 minutes into his Timbers debut on March 3, 2013. Sebastián Blanco delivered his fifth assist of the season in the match. All five of Blanco’s assists have come in Portland’s last six matches. Renzo Zambrano made his MLS debut, starting and playing the full 90 minutes. It is the second time Zambrano has played a competitive match for the club, having also played for Portland in a U.S. Open Cup match against the San Jose Earthquakes on June 6, 2018. With Fernandez and Zambrano making their debuts, the Timbers now have had 108 different players play in an MLS match for the club. Valeri created six chances in the match according to Opta. Valeri has six or more chances created in three different away matches in 2019, which is more than every other player in MLS combined this season. The match was Blanco’s 75th MLS regular-season match for Portland. He is the 12th Timbers player to reach 75 MLS games played for the club. The match was the 11th consecutive road match for the Timbers, setting a new MLS record for consecutive road games.

NOTABLE QUOTES Portland Timbers head coach Giovanni Savarese On this thoughts on the game… “I thought that in the second half we came with a lot of energy. We battled very well, what we said we needed to do better in the second half. Then the game became a little bit open, but our guys fought through the entire second half. They matched up. We created chances. They had chances. I thought the tie was a fair result.” On his team’s defensive performance… “Very well organized. The guys knew how to cover. I think the most important part is in the one-v-one matchups, we did very well and I think that was the key factor today. It was tough because their guys that came in were faster than the ones that were there before. So more credit to the guys who did a fantastic job during the entire game, but especially in the second half.” On the debut of Brian Fernandez… “He was a threat as soon as he jumped onto the field. He told me, ‘I’m going to score,’ [and] he did. It was great, but it wasn’t only him. I think the entire group fought to make sure he came into a game that we were playing well.” Portland Timbers forward Brian Fernandez (through an interpreter) On his first game with the Timbers… “I am very happy. This was a very difficult match. It was a very difficult team that we faced today and we started in the right way I believe. And personally I also believe that I started the right way.” On scoring his first goal for the team… “I’m very happy. It was a great effort for me to be here. And the least I can do to repay them is doing my very best and scoring goals like I did today.”

WILLIAMSON CALLED INTO CAMP WITH USMNT

The Philadelphia Union (7-3-3, 24pts) enter Saturday’s matchup against Portland following a 0-0 home draw against Seattle Sounders FC, and have won at least five home games this season, more than any other team in its conference. In seven games at Talen Energy Stadium in 2019, Philadelphia holds a 5-1-1 record. Forward Kacper Przybylko leads the team in goals scored with three in six appearances, followed by midfielders Ilsinho, Jamiro Monteiro and Alejandro Bedoya with two apiece.

Portland Timbers midfielder Eryk Williamson has been called into a combined preparation camp with players from the U.S. Senior and U-23 Men’s National Teams from May 26-June 2 in Annapolis, Md. Williamson will be part of the U-23 squad that will be training with the Senior National Team. The Alexandra, Va., native, who was previously called into a U.S. U-23 Men’s National Team international camp in March, has tallied two goals and a USL Championship-leading seven assists in nine appearances for T2, while on loan from the Timbers in 2019.

IMMEDIATE IMPACT

HEADED GOALS

Entering the match against the Houston Dynamo in the 65th minute, forward Brian Fernandez scored his first career goal for the Timbers just 12 minutes after coming onto the field. It is the quickest goal ever scored by a Timbers player in his MLS debut. The Timbers acquired Argentine forward Brian Fernandez as a Designated Player from Liga MX side Club Necaxa on May 6. Fernandez finished second in the 2019 Liga MX Clausura regular-season campaign goal-scoring chart with 12 goals scored in 15 appearances.

The Timbers enter Week 13 action ranked tied for second in the league in headed goals (5), following Jeremy Ebobisse’s game-winning goal against Toronto FC on April 27. Larrys Mabiala tallied a headed goal in a 3-1 win against Columbus Crew SC on April 20. Cristhian Paredes notched a headed goal against FC Dallas on April 13. Ebobisse tallied a headed goal against Los Angeles FC on March 10, while Sebastián Blanco scored the club’s first headed goal in the season opener against the Colorado Rapids on March 2.

CONVERTING FROM SET-PIECES Following Bill Tuiloma’s volleyed finish from Diego Valeri’s corner-kick service against Toronto FC on April 27 at BMO Field, the Portland Timbers rank tied for first in MLS with D.C. United and the LA Galaxy for goals scored from set plays (4). Since the start of 2018 regular season, the Timbers rank tied for second in the league with the LA Galaxy in set-play assists (11) behind only the New York Red Bulls (15). Diego Valeri’s four assists from such situations ranks first in the league in 2019. Since the beginning of the 2018 season, Valeri’s 10 assists from set plays ranks first in MLS. Valeri’s six set-play assists in 2018 were tied for first in the league with Yoshimar Yotún.

ROAD FORM Entering Week 13 action, the Portland Timbers rank tied for second in the league in road wins (3). Portland’s 11 points on the road ranks fifth in the league, and second in the Western Conference behind Los Angeles FC (12pts). The Timbers’ 14 goals scored on the road ranks tied for second in the league behind Los Angeles FC (16). Additionally, Portland was the first team in MLS this season to win three consecutive matches on the road.

EXTENDED ROAD TRIP The Timbers will begin the 2019 season on the road for the first 12 games, as construction work is completed at Providence Park. The club is investing more than $85 million in private funding for an ambitious project that will transform Providence Park and add more than 4,000 new seats to raise the capacity to more than 25,000. Moreover, the significant investment represents a complete relaunch of the historic stadium, as the project includes extensive enhancements to the entire venue, including: a massive, state-of-the-art video board/ scoreboard that measures more than two times bigger than the previous board, new LED field lighting, new locker rooms for both the Timbers and Thorns FC, a new team store, new and refreshed concession stands and concourse amenities on the westside of the stadium and additional ingress/egress gates.
