LAST MATCH RECAP Receiving goals from Jeremy Ebobisse and Diego Valeri, the Portland Timbers registered a 2-0 win over the Colorado Rapids in front of 21,144 fans at Providence Park on Sept. 8. Ebobisse scored his first goal of the season for the Timbers in MLS play and Valeri registered his team-leading 10th goal of 2018, while Sebastián Blanco tallied a pair of assists.

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 eight 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 GIOVANNI SAVARESE Entering his first season with the club after being named head coach on Dec. 18, 2017, Savarese, the third head coach in Portland’s MLS history, brings over 25 years of professional experience as a player and coach to the Timbers organization. A native of Caracas, Venezuela, Savarese joined the Timbers after spending the past five seasons as the head coach and sporting director of the New York Cosmos, where he developed one of the most successful clubs in the NASL, compiling a 6526-44 record in 135 regular-season games, including a career-best 20-7-5 record in 2016 and an undefeated NASL Spring Season in 2015. Additionally, the Cosmos scored 223 goals during Savarese’s five seasons at the helm, which rank as the most in the NASL during that stretch. Savarese also led the Cosmos to four Soccer Bowl appearances, claiming the 2013, 2015 and 2016 championships. Most recently, after a 10-7-15 record in the 2017 regular season, Savarese guided the Cosmos to their third straight appearance in the NASL championship match, narrowly falling 2-0 to the San Francisco Deltas. Prior to joining the Cosmos organization, Savarese, who holds a USSF “A” license, served as the head of youth development for the New York MetroStars/Red Bulls from 2005-2007, before joining the Cosmos as the club’s academy director in 2010, with a focus on developing youth talent in the greater New York area. Savarese served as the Cosmos academy director for two years before being announced as the head coach of the first Cosmos team in 28 years on November 19, 2012. Savarese enjoyed an 18-year professional playing career, including five seasons in Major League Soccer, scoring 159 goals in 322 games played in various leagues in the United States, Venezuela, Italy and England. At the international level, Savarese earned 30 caps for the Venezuela National Team from 1989-2001, scoring 10 goals, including a notable finish against South American rival Argentina in 1996. After beginning his professional career in Venezuela with Deportivo Italia in 1986, Savarese spent five seasons (1990-95) playing in the Cosmopolitan Soccer League and the USISL before being drafted by the MetroStars in the inaugural MLS SuperDraft in 1996 as the ninth overall selection, notching a teamrecord 41 goals and 94 points in 85 regular-season appearances during three seasons with the club. The striker’s record stood until 2009 when it was surpassed by Juan Pablo Angel. Following his three seasons with the MetroStars, Savarese spent the 1999 MLS campaign with the New England Revolution, scoring 10 goals in 27 appearances. Shortly afterward, Savarese joined Italian Serie A club A.C. Perugia and was loaned to A.S. Viterbese in 2000, before returning stateside to join the San Jose Earthquakes in the 2000 MLS season. After a brief stint with the Earthquakes, Savarese joined Swansea City where he scored 14 goals across all competitions, prior to signing with Millwall F.C. in 2001. Following short spells with Venezuelan club Deportivo Italchacao and Italian club Sassari Torres, Savarese’s playing career concluded in 2004 after scoring five goals in 10 appearances with the Long Island Rough Riders. In the collegiate ranks, Savarese enjoyed a four-year (1990-93) playing career with Long Island University after moving to the United States from Venezuela in 1990. Savarese has also served as a member of the media, working as an analyst for ESPN International and ESPN Deportes. Giovanni and his wife, Michelle, have two daughters, Valentina and Alessandra.

PORTLAND TIMBERS AT HOUSTON DYNAMO SATURDAY, SEPT. 15, 2018 PREVIOUS MATCH - PORTLAND TIMBERS VS COLORADO RAPIDS (W 2-0) MATCH RECAP

BOX SCORE

Receiving goals from Jeremy Ebobisse and Diego Valeri, the Portland Timbers registered a 2-0 win over the Colorado Rapids in front of 21,144 fans at Providence Park on Saturday night. Ebobisse scored his first goal of the season for the Timbers in MLS play and Valeri registered his team-leading 10th goal of 2018, while Sebastián Blanco tallied a pair of assists.

Key plays Portland created its first chance of the match on a quick counter-attack. Valeri and Ebobisse combined outside the box and Valeri slipped a pass out to Blanco on the left wing. Blanco cut back and dribbled into the box, delivering a dipping strike that forced a save by Colorado goalkeeper Tim Howard in the second minute. Remaining on the front foot, the Timbers generated back-to-back scoring opportunities. Valeri stole the ball and dribbled down the right side of the field into the box. He fired a low, hard shot toward the left post, but Howard dove to his right side to parry the ball away before it was cleared out for a Portland corner kick in the fifth minute. Two minutes later, Valeri unleashed a long-range strike from the edge of the box that went just wide of the left post. Working the ball down the left side of the field in the 29th minute, Villafaña dribbled down field and spotted Blanco near the edge of the box. Villafaña slid the ball to Blanco, who delivered a shot that skipped past the right post. Retaining possession after a corner kick, Diego Chara dribbled into the box and played a short pass to Blanco, who turned and fired a quick shot, but a Rapids player blocked the attempt near the goal line. On the counter-attack, Ebobisse opened the scoring for Portland, tallying his first goal of the season in MLS play in the 45th minute. Chara started the Timbers break and played a pass out wide to Blanco on the right side near the edge of the box. Blanco dribbled past a Colorado player and slid a pinpoint pass to Ebobisse running toward goal for the finish. Portland doubled its lead in the 65th minute as Valeri tallied his 10th goal of the season and Blanco recorded his second assist of the match. Blanco dribbled down the left side to the end line and sent a powerful cross into the box for Valeri, who headed it into the back of the net at the goal line. Clark, who finished the match with three saves, helped Portland preserve its eighth clean sheet of the season deep in second-half stoppage time, leaping to push a shot from inside the box by Colorado’s Enzo Martinez over the crossbar.

The Timbers registered their eighth shutout of the season, including their sixth of the season at Providence Park. Diego Valeri scored his 10th goal of the season. Valeri is the third player in MLS history to have 10 or more goals and 10 or more assists in four different MLS seasons, matching Jaime Moreno and Preki. Blanco’s 16 career assists place him in a tie for 13th for most assists on Portland’s all-era chart with Jimmy Conway. Ebobisse scored his first MLS goal of the season and second of his MLS career. It was Ebobisse’s second goal in a competitive match this season for Portland, having also scored for the club in the U.S. Open Cup. Clark now has 25 career shutouts in MLS play, becoming the 35th goalkeeper in MLS history to achieve 25 shutouts.

NOTABLE QUOTES Portland Timbers head coach Giovanni Savarese General thoughts on the match… “I thought the team played very well today…defensively strong and offensively creating a lot of chances. We moved the ball very well; I thought it was a very good performance. I thought that this was one of our best games so far. We have to make sure that we find that balance offensively and also continue to be strong defensively, and the guys did a great job.” On Jeremy Ebobisse’s first league start of the season... “Jeremy did what we expected of him. The conditions were ideal for him to succeed and he didn’t disappoint. With all the trust that we put into him today, he delivered a very good match. Not all the forwards can play at the same time. We felt that it was the right moment for Jeremy to step on the field. He understood the opportunity, didn’t disappoint and I couldn’t be more happy to see his performance today.” On Sebastian Blanco’s and Diego Valeri’s performances… “[Blanco] was fantastic. He’s a game changer. He’s been having a very good season. For me, he goes beyond just scoring goals and today he was fantastic. Diego was good on the ball and scored a fantastic goal because he had the chance to [rest last match]. I’m excited about the guys and the effort that they put out today. Even more so, we have the guys that can contribute and they continue to battle to see who can play.” Portland Timbers forward Jeremy Ebobisse On scoring his first goal of the season tonight... “It feels really good. A lot of work went into the beginning of the season. It’s tough sometimes watching from the sidelines, but I knew my opportunity would come at some point and I’m just grateful I was able to take it.”

PORTLAND TIMBERS AT HOUSTON DYNAMO SATURDAY, SEPT. 15, 2018 SCOUTING HOUSTON

IRON MAN

Houston (7-13-7, 28pts) enters Saturday’s match having suffered a 4-2 loss to FC Dallas at Toyota Stadium on Sept. 1, which extended 10-game winless streak dating back to July 14. Forward Mauro Manotas leads the team and ranks tied for fifth in MLS with 12 goals. Additionally, midfielder Romell Quioto’s 11 assists leads Houston and ranks fifth in the league. Goalkeeper Joe Willis has made 21 starts and logged 66 saves and posted three shutouts in 2018.

Portland Timbers defender Zarek Valentin started and played 90 minutes in the 2-0 win against the Rapids on Sept. 8. Valentin is the only Timbers player to feature in all 27 matches this season.

10 + 10 With his goal in Portland’s 2-0 win over the Colorado Rapids on Sept 8, midfielder Diego Valeri became just the third player in MLS history to record double-digit goals and assists in four seasons, joining Jaime Moreno and Preki. Additionally, Valeri has scored 10 or more goals in three consecutive seasons for Portland and is the first Timbers player across all eras (since 1975) to record double-digit goals in five seasons.

BLANCO POTW With two assists in 2-0 win over the Colorado Rapids on Sept. 8, midfielder Sebastián Blanco increased his season total to eight assists, which equals his mark for assists in a season from 2017. It marked the second time this season that Blanco has recorded multiple assists in a match, as he also recorded two assists in a 3-2 win over Colorado on May 26. With his performance, Blanco was named the Alcatel Major League Soccer Player of the Week for Week 28.

AWAY FORM Dating back to the start of the 2014 MLS season, the Timbers are tied with New York City FC for the fifth-most away wins (21) in the league, recording seven away wins in 2014 and also in their 2015 championship-winning season. So far this season, the Timbers are tied for the fifth-most away wins (3).

CLOSING OUT GAMES Heading into Saturday’s game, the Portland Timbers have been effective at closing out games through their first 27 games of the 2018 MLS regular season campaign. The Timbers have held a lead at the 75th minute mark in 11 games this season, posting a solid 9-1-1 record in those matches.

EL MAESTRO With a goal in Portland’s most recent home match against the Colorado Rapids on Sept. 8, Timbers midfielder Diego Valeri tallied his team-leading 10th goal of 2018. With the finish, Valeri, who also has 10 assists, is one of two players in MLS to post 10-plus goals and 10-plus assists in the 2018 season.

TIMBERS FIRSTS In the Timbers’ 2-0 win over the Colorado Rapids on Sept. 8, goalkeeper Steve Clark earned his first start for the Timbers, logging three saves and earning his first shutout of 2018. Clark is the 35th goalkeeper in MLS history to achieve 25 career shutouts in regular season play. Additionally, Jeremy Ebobisse made his first start of 2018 in the win, scoring his first goal of the season.

TIMBERS INJURY REPORT QUESTIONABLE: Jeff Attinella (thigh), Alvas Powell (thigh) OUT: Roy Miller (thigh), Jake Gleeson (tibia surgery) * As of Sept. 13, 2018

HEADS UP Through their first 27 games in league play, the Timbers rank tied for first in MLS with Atlanta United FC and the New York Red Bulls in headed goals (12), with midfielder Diego Valeri scoring the team’s most recent header in a 2-0 win over the Colorado Rapids on Sept. 8. Portland defender Larrys Mabiala has recorded four total goals in 2018, all headers, ranking tied for fourth in the league for headed goals in 2018.

STRIKE RATE In over 1,200 minutes of regular-season action in the 2018 MLS campaign, forward Samuel Armenteros has posted eight goals in 15 starts, ranking as the second-most on the team, in his debut MLS season. Armenteros is the fourth Timbers player to score eight or more goals in his first season in MLS, joining Diego Valeri, Fanendo Adi and Sebastián Blanco.

MILESTONE MARKER Since making his debut for the Timbers as a 19-year-old in 2013, defender Alvas Powell has now played in 116 MLS matches for Portland. Against D.C. United on Aug. 15, Powell became the 15th player in Portland’s all-era history to play 115 league matches for the Timbers.

BETWEEN THE PIPES In 20 regular-season starts this season, goalkeeper Jeff Attinella has only four losses, conceding 21 goals. His goals-against-average of 1.07 ranks as the third-lowest in MLS in 2018 amongst goalkeepers with at least 10 starts. Additionally, Attinella’s 404-minute clean-sheet streak (April 14-May 19) is the longest by a Timbers goalkeeper in MLS play. As a team, the Timbers rank fifth in the league in fewest-goals allowed (36) this season.

INTERNATIONAL CALL-UPS Portland Timbers midfielders Andrés Flores and David Guzmán both featured for their respective national teams in friendly matches during the international break. Guzmán started and played 90 minutes in Costa Rica’s 2-0 loss at South Korea on Sept. 7 and played 82 minutes in a 3-0 loss to Japan on Sept. 11. Flores started in El Salvador’s 5-0 loss to Brazil on Sept. 11 in a friendly at FedEx Field.

DOUBLE-DIGIT WINS The Timbers secured their 10th win in league play on Aug. 4 when the team defeated the Philadelphia Union 3-0. With the win, Portland reached the doubledigit win plateau this year in the fewest number of games in any of its eight MLS seasons since joining as an expansion club in 2011.

REIGNING MVP Midfielder Diego Valeri entered the 2018 MLS season as the reigning Landon Donovan MLS Most Valuable Player, after becoming the first Timbers player to receive MLS MVP honors following a record-setting 2017 campaign. Valeri’s record-setting season was highlighted by a team-high 21 goals, a career-high for the midfielder, and a team-high 11 assists, marking the fourth time the midfielder has hit double digits in goals and assists in his five seasons in MLS.
