LAST MATCH RECAP The Timbers conceded two goals in the final minutes of the first half and were unable to overcome the deficit in a 2-0 loss against Eastern Conference side New York Red Bulls in front of sellout crowd of 21,144 fans at Providence Park on Sept. 20. The loss, Portland’s first home loss since April 12, ended the team’s home unbeaten run at 10 consecutive matches. New York took the lead in the 43rd minute as midfielder Felipe fired a knuckling, long-distance effort that found the back of the net. In first-half stoppage time, defender Damien Perrinelle doubled the Red Bulls’ advantage with a looping header from close range off an assist from midfielder Sacha Kljestan.

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 four 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 third season with the club in 2015 after guiding the Portland Timbers to record-setting campaigns in his first two years in MLS. Guiding the team to an impressive turnaround season and the club’s first-ever MLS postseason appearance in 2013, Porter helped direct a record-setting offense in 2014 as the Timbers netted 61 regular-season goals, a club record across all eras.

He was announced as the Timbers head coach on Aug. 29, 2012, and joined the club ahead of the 2013 MLS campaign. Porter received the Slats Gill Award for Sportsperson of the Year at the Oregon Sports Awards on March 9, 2014, becoming the fourth soccerrelated figure to receive the award since it was founded in 1957. On Aug. 6, 2014, Porter helped guide the MLS All-Stars to a 2-1 win over German power Bayern Munich in the 2014 AT&T MLS All-Star Game at Providence Park in Portland.

The 2013 MLS Coach of the Year award winner, Porter has compiled one of the league’s top winning percentages among active MLS head coaches with a 37-24-36 mark (.567) after leading Portland to double-digits wins in each of his first two seasons. Under Porter’s guidance, the Timbers have made Providence Park one of the toughest places to play in the league, registering an impressive regularseason mark of 23-6-20 at Providence Park over the last two-plus seasons. In 2014, the Timbers netted a team-record 61 goals while compiling one of the highest point totals (44) across the final two-thirds of the regular season – recording the highest goal differential (plus-9) of any non-playoff team in MLS history. Portland also made its first appearance in CONCACAF Champions League, contesting matches against Alpha United of Guyana and C.D. Olimpia of Honduras during the competition’s group stage.

During Porter’s first season as head coach in 2013, the Timbers assembled one of the biggest turnaround seasons in MLS. In comparison to 2012 totals, the Timbers assembled a 23-point improvement in points and an MLS-record 43-goal improvement in goal differential. Portland’s five losses during the 2013 regular season tied for the fewest in MLS history in a 34-game season and the Timbers led the league with 15 shutouts. The Timbers recorded a 15-game, home unbeaten streak during the 2013 regular season, posting a league-best 11-1-5 home record at Providence Park and an MLS singleseason record 11 home shutouts. In 2013, Portland qualified for the MLS Cup Playoffs for the first time since joining the league in 2011. Additionally, the Timbers made their deepest run in club history in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in 2013 under Porter’s guidance, reaching the semifinals of the tournament.

Prior to joining the Timbers, Porter was one of the most successful coaches in NCAA history during his tenure as head coach at the University of Akron (2006-12). 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.

As a player, Porter was the 27th overall pick by the San Jose Clash in the 1998 MLS College Draft. He spent time with San Jose and the Tampa Bay Mutiny before a knee injury ended his professional playing career in 2000. He also played for the U.S. National B Team from 1996-97, winning a bronze medal at the 1997 World University Games. As a player at Indiana, he was a three-year captain and led the Hoosiers to four conference titles. Porter was the runner-up for the 1997 Hermann Trophy.

Porter graduated from Indiana in 1998 with a degree in sports management. He and his wife, Andrea, have three children – two sons, Colin and Jake, and a daughter, Stella. ment appearances. As a senior, Porter captained IU to 23 consecutive wins before losing to eventual national champion UCLA in the national semifinals and was the runner-up for the 1997 Hermann Trophy.

PORTLAND TIMBERS AT COLUMBUS CREW SC SATURDAY, SEPT. 26, 2015 SCOUTING CREW SC Columbus Crew SC enter Saturday’s match coming off consecutive wins against D.C. United and the Philadelphia Union. Head coach Gregg Berhalter’s squad has registered a 5-1-1 record over its last seven regular-season matches. Over the second half of the MLS season, Columbus has earned an 8-3-2 record while moving into contention for first place in the Eastern Conference and MLS Supporters’ Shield. Forward Kei Kamara leads MLS with 21 goals this season, while midfielder Ethan Finlay has registered 13 assists, which ranks second in the league. Goalkeeper Steve Clark has made 95 saves, good for fourth among MLS goalkeepers.

REBOUNDING FROM A LOSS Since the 2013 season, the Timbers have won 11 times in games immediately following a loss. While suffering consecutive losses just three times in those two-plus seasons, the club is an impressive 11-3-9 overall in games directly following a defeat, including four wins this season. The Timbers have only lost consecutive matches once this season (May 16 at Houston; May 23 at Toronto FC).

UPCOMING MILESTONES With his next assist, midfielder Jack Jewsbury will move into a tie for 10th place overall on the Timbers all-time career assists chart with Timbers Ring of Honor member Jimmy Conway (1978-80). Jewsbury currently sits in 11th place with 15 assists for Portland since 2011.

With his next goal, forward Fanendo Adi will tie the Timbers MLS single-season club record for goals in a season (11), set by midfielder Diego Valeri in 2014.

Adi tallied his 10th goal in a 1-0 win against Chicago on Aug. 7 at Providence Park. The single-season club record across all eras is 18 goals scored by Fadi Afash in 2002. Adi’s next goal also will be his 20th career regular-season goal for Portland.

With his next appearance, midfielder Darlington Nagbe will move into a tie for second place on the Timbers all-time appearances list across all eras with USL defender Scot Thompson (156). Nagbe enters Saturday’s match against Columbus with 155 career MLS appearances.

Should he play on Saturday against Columbus, defender Nat Borchers will make the 315th appearance of his MLS career. Borchers, who joined Portland in the offseason, has made 26 appearances (all starts) for the Timbers in 2015.

Midfielder Will Johnson’s next appearance will mark his 190th career MLS game. Johnson has logged 69 career appearances with the Timbers since 2013.

AGAINST THE EASTERN CONFERENCE This season the Timbers have earned a 5-4-0 record against teams from the Eastern Conference, including a 2-2-0 record on the road. Portland has earned road wins against Eastern Conference clubs New York City FC (April 19) and Montreal (May 9).

SOLID DEFENDING The Timbers defense ranks first in MLS with 12 clean sheets in 29 games this season. Over the last three seasons, Portland has compiled the most shutouts (34) among all MLS teams.

Midfielder Rodney Wallace will make the 155th appearance of his MLS career on Saturday should he play against Crew SC. Wallace has played 115 career games for the Timbers since 2011.

BLOCK PARTY Timbers defender Nat Borchers leads the league with 30 blocks this season, which is five more than any other player this season. Since Opta started tracking MLS stats prior to the 2011 season, the record for most blocks in a single MLS season is 33 set by Columbus Crew defender Julius James in 2011

BALL WINNERS IN CONTROL According to Opta, Timbers midfielder Darlington Nagbe is the only player in MLS to have at least 50 dribbles completed and a passing accuracy of at least 85 percent. Nagbe has completed 71 dribbles and has a passing accuracy of 87.89 percent. Additionally, Nagbe ranks in the top eight among all players this season for successful passes inside the opponents’ half of the field (725).

PLAYOFF PICTURE With five games remaining on Portland’s regular-season schedule, the Timbers enter the week in sixth place in the tight Western Conference standings with 41 points. At the start of the week, Portland trailed fifth-place Sporting Kansas City (44pts) and fourth-place Seattle Sounders FC (45) and sit seven points shy of first-place Vancouver Whitecaps FC (48). Additionally, San Jose (40), Real Salt Lake (38) and Houston (35) are in the MLS Cup Playoffs mix. Houston squared off against Sporting Kansas City on Wednesday.
