LAST MATCH RECAP Playing their first postseason match of the 2017 campaign, the Portland Timbers battled the Houston Dynamo to a 0-0 draw before 15,169 fans at BBVA Compass Stadium in the first leg of the Western Conference Semifinals in the Audi 2017 MLS Cup Playoffs on Monday, Oct. 30. The Timbers will return to Portland to play host to Houston in the second leg of the two-game, aggregategoal series at Providence Park on Sunday, Nov. 5.
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 is in 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 68-50-52, 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 five 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 three times 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 VS HOUSTON DYNAMO SUNDAY, NOV. 5, 2017 PREVIOUS MATCH - PORTLAND TIMBERS AT HOUSTON DYNAMO (T 0-0) BOX SCORE
MATCH RECAP Playing their first postseason match of the 2017 campaign, the Portland Timbers battled the Houston Dynamo to a 0-0 draw before 15,169 fans at BBVA Compass Stadium in the first leg of the Western Conference Semifinals in the Audi 2017 MLS Cup Playoffs on Oct. 30.
VS.
The Timbers, making their third appearance in the MLS Cup Playoffs in the last five seasons, will return to Portland to play host to Houston in the second leg of the twogame, aggregate-goal series at Providence Park on Sunday, Nov. 5. Opening up their 2017 postseason campaign after bypassing the Knockout Round as the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, the Timbers produced nine shots in the match, while holding the Dynamo scoreless on their home field. Attacking early in the game, Portland created a strong chance quickly on the break when forward Darren Mattocks slipped a pass in behind for midfielder Diego Valeri. Sprinting down the left wing, Valeri quickly played a curling pass into the box for an unmarked Darlington Nagbe, whose first-time effort went wide of the far post in the sixth minute of play. Approaching the midway point of the first half, the Timbers threatened Houston’s goal again in the 20th minute of play when midfielder Dairon Asprilla received the ball on the left side of the 18-yard box, blasting a strong effort that went wide of the target. The Timbers opened up the final 45 with another strong chance when Valeri and Nagbe combined in the final third, creating space for Valeri to fire an effort from distance and forcing a strong save from Houston goalkeeper Tyler Deric in the 50th minute of play. Less than 10 minutes later, shortly after entering the game, forward Jeremy Ebobisse latched on to a pass from Valeri inside the 18-yard box, whipping an effort on target and forcing another save from Deric. Continuing to create chances in the second half, the Timbers came close to scoring in the 68th minute when defender Vytas drove a pass across the six-yard box, finding defender Liam Ridgewell for a close-range effort that was blocked wide by the Houston defense. Six minutes later, an effective combination play in the middle of the field allowed Valeri to release Mattocks inside the box, with the striker hitting his effort at Deric, who made a strong save to prevent the scoring opportunity. On the defensive end, goalkeeper Jeff Attinella made two strong saves in the second half, as Portland recorded its fourth shutout in its last seven games played across all competitions. In the 50th minute, with Houston attacking on the counter attack, Attinella made a strong save off his line to deny forward Alberth Elis. Five minutes later, Attinella produced another solid save in the 55th minute when he denied a looping header from defender Philippe Senderos, reacting quickly to push the defender’s chance over the crossbar.
NOTES •

The Timbers are unbeaten in seven consecutive MLS Cup Playoff matches, dating back to 2015. That is the third-longest streak in MLS history, behind only D.C United’s 13 games from 1996-1998 and the LA Galaxy’s 10 matches from 2005-2010. Portland is unbeaten in its last four road playoff games, which is tied for the third-longest streak in MLS history. Portland recorded its fourth clean sheet in its last seven matches in 2017. Larrys Mabiala, Vytas, Darren Mattocks, Roy Miller, Amobi Okugo and Jeremy Ebobisse each made their Timbers postseason debut. Lawrence Olum made his MLS playoffs debut for the Timbers, having also played for Portland in the 2007 USL playoffs. The match was the 11th postseason game played by Darlington Nagbe for the Timbers, which is a record in Portland’s MLS era. The Houston Dynamo are the seventh different club the Timbers have faced in MLS playoffs.

NOTABLE QUOTES Portland Timbers head coach Caleb Porter On his team’s performance today… “Our goal was to come in and win. But we also talked about if time ran out, we’ll take a draw as well. We’re a very good home team. We score goals at home and we’re going to need to do that in the second leg to win. I think under the circumstan ces, we’ll take the result. What I mean by circumstances is the playing field and obviously the three injuries. Two [injuries] in the first half. I thought Roy Miller and Amobi [Okugo] came into the game and were excellent. They’re experienced players, that’s why we have them. They didn’t miss a beat. In the second half, we dropped our back four off a little bit because I thought Houston was getting in behind us first half. I think they had trouble breaking us down, especially in the second half. Obviously a few counter attacks, but the field was very difficult to put much together. The couple of chances we had, it jumped off. [Darlington] Nagbe’s was a good example. On a good pitch, he’s burying that. It jumped up on him. They had a couple of chances too. We needed to show, in terms of football, that we can adjust. It wasn’t our preferred game where we had the ball and we’re dictating the game with possession. But we showed that we can adjust and grind out a result regardless.” Portland Timbers goalkeeper Jeff Attinella On what it means to get a clean sheet with all the changes happening tonight “It was good. It was just really steady. I think everybody that came in was really steady and it just shows that we have dealt with adversity all year. This was just another night. Guys stepped up; guys played big, got the shutout and a good result.”
PORTLAND TIMBERS VS HOUSTON DYNAMO SUNDAY, NOV. 5, 2017 ALL-TIME SERIES NOTES Sunday’s game, the second postseason meeting between Portland and Houston, marks the 14th all-time contest between the two clubs since the Timbers inaugural MLS season in 2011.

PORTLAND TIMBERS VS HOUSTON DYNAMO SUNDAY, NOV. 5, 2017 SCOUTING HOUSTON Advancing into the Western Conference Semifinals after defeating Sporting Kansas City as the No. 4 seed in the Knockout Round, the Dynamo have recorded just one win in 17 league matches played away from home in 2017, with the team’s lone road win occurring on July 22 in a 3-1 win against D.C. United at RFK Stadium. Forward Erick Torres leads the team in goals scored (14).
TOP SEED With a 2-1 home win over Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Oct. 22, the Timbers clinched the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, marking the second time in the last five seasons Portland has finished as the top seed in the West. Portland’s 15 wins also tied the club’s MLS record for wins in a single season, with the team recording its second-highest regular-season point total (53) in MLS.
GOALS SCORED With 60 goals scored through 34 league games played this season, the Timbers - the only Western Conference team to reach the 60-goal mark in 2017 - scored the fourth-most goals scored in MLS in the regular season, averaging 1.8 goals per game. With 60 goals scored, the team surpassed its goal production for each of the past two seasons. The 60 goals also rank as the second-most across all eras of the club (since 1975).
SCORING STREAK Beginning with a 2-0 victory over San Jose on June 2, Portland scored in 21 straight matches to end 2017, the longest streak this season. The 21 consecutive matches surpassed a club record for most consecutive games with a goal scored. The original record was set in the team’s opening season in 1975.
HOME FORM Heading into Sunday’s match, the Timbers have won their last six games played at Providence Park, outscoring their opponents 16-3 during that six-game stretch. Additonally, since the start of the 2016 campaign, Portland has been the top home team in the league, producing 23 wins at Providence Park to compile a 23-5-6 home record.
FACING HOUSTON The Timbers are unbeaten in six of their last seven games played against the Dynamo across all competitions, dating back to June 20, 2015. At Providence Park, Portland has produced a 4-1-1 record against Houston, with the team’s lone loss taking place in the 2011 campaign.
PLAYOFF FORM With a 0-0 draw against Houston in the first leg of the Western Conference Semifinals on Oct. 30, the Timbers are unbeaten in seven consecutive MLS Cup Playoff matches, dating back to 2015. That is the third-longest streak in league history behind D.C. United’s 13 games (96-98) and LA Galaxy’s 10 games (05-10).
MVP STATUS With 21 goals and 11 assists in the regular season, Diego Valeri has made a strong case for MLS MVP in 2017 by reaching several key milestones this season. Scoring in Portland’s 3-0 win against Orlando City SC on Sept. 24, Valeri set the MLS record for consecutive games with a goal (9). Additionally, by scoring his 50th goal on Aug. 12, Valeri became the third-fastest player (139 games) in league history to reach the 50-50 mark. With a one-goal, two-assist performance against D.C. United on Oct. 15, Valeri set the MLS record for goals by a midfielder in a single season (21), while also becoming the second player in MLS history to have at least 20 goals and 10 assists in a single season.
MATTOCKS IN FORM In the Timbers’ 2-1 win against Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Oct. 22, forward Darren Mattocks scored his fourth goal of the season, recording his second game-winning goal against Whitecaps FC this season. In a 3-0 win against Orlando City SC, Mattocks became the third MLS player to have six shots on goal in a match this season, joining David Villa and Sebastian Giovinco. In a 4-0 win against D.C. United on Oct. 15, Mattocks drew a penalty kick for a fourth time in 2017. Only two players in MLS have drawn more penalty kicks in 2017.
DEFENSIVE EFFORT
Since the start of the 2016 season, the Timbers have posted the second-most home goals (73) in the league, behind only Toronto FC (83). Portland midfielder Diego Valeri ranks tied for the second-most home goals (22) during that stretch.
In its last 12 games played across all competitions, Portland has produced a 7-3-2 record, conceding just one goal per game on average during a stretch that dates back to a 3-1 home win against the LA Galaxy on Aug. 6. Additionally, since picking up a 2-0 home win against the New York Red Bulls on Aug. 18, the Timbers have recorded five clean sheets across all competitions, with three of those clean sheets taking place at Providence Park. Only Atlanta United (8) and Seattle Sounders FC (6) have tallied more clean sheets during that stretch.
