LAST MATCH RECAP
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.
The Portland Timbers battled Cascadia-rival Seattle Sounders FC to a 1-1 draw before 51,796 fans at CenturyLink Field on Aug. 27. Midfielder Diego Valeri produced the Timbers goal in the match, converting from the penalty spot late in the first half to score for a sixth straight game.

HEAD COACH CALEB PORTER Head coach Caleb Porter enters 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 64-48-52, 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 four 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 twice 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).

VS.
Timbers midfielder Diego Chara also made his 200th regular-season appearance for Portland in the 1-1 draw, becoming the second player in the club’s MLS era to play 200 league games, with midfielder Darlington Nagbe previously reaching the mark this season against Seattle on June 25.

Sounders FC (11-7-9, 42 pts) managed to take the lead in the 18th minute of play, scoring the game’s first goal when a corner kick was deflected off midfielder Cristian Roldan from the edge of the six-yard box, giving the home side an early 1-0 edge.

The Timbers equalized in the final minute of the half when forward Darren Mattocks was brought down inside the box while running on to a leading ball over the top from Valeri. Stepping up to the penalty spot, Valeri blasted his effort into the far left corner to record his 16th goal of the season, bringing the Timbers level going into the second half.

Sunday’s match was the 99th competitive game between the Portland Timbers and Seattle Sounders FC since 1975. The Timbers currently lead the Cascadia Cup standings with eight points, two points clear of Sounders FC and four points ahead of Vancouver Whitecaps FC. Portland finished the match with 52 percent of the possession. In all three regular-season matches against Seattle this season, the Timbers have won the possession battle. The Timbers have scored in 14 consecutive matches, which is the longest active streak in MLS. Diego Chara became the second Timbers player to appear in 200 matches for the club. Chara joins Darlington Nagbe, who also played his 200th match against Seattle FC on June 25. Diego Valeri scored his 16th goal of the season, tying him for most MLS goals by a Timbers player in a single season. It is the third straight season the Timbers have had a player score 16 goals, as Fanendo Adi reached the mark in 2015 and 2016. Valeri is the seventh player in all eras of the club (since 1975) to score 16 or more league goals in a season (Fanendo Adi, Fadi Afash, McKinley Tennyson, Alan Gordon, Peter Withe and Byron Alvarez). Valeri scored in his sixth consecutive match, which is the longest streak in MLS this season. Valeri’s six games with a goal also rank as the most consecutive games with a goal in the Timbers’ MLS era. Valeri has scored six goals against Sounders FC in competitive matches, with four in regular-season play. Only Fanendo Adi and USL-era player Byron Alvarez have scored more goals (8) for Portland against Seattle. Darlington Nagbe finished the match completing 95.5 percent of his passes, connecting on 63 of his 66 attempted passes. Nagbe leads MLS this season in games (5) with at least 95 percent passing on 50 or more attempts. Nagbe played in his 20th regular-season match against Sounders FC. That is the most by any MLS player against a single MLS opponent since 2011. Jeff Attinella made five saves in the match, tying a season high.

NOTABLE QUOTES Portland Timbers head coach Caleb Porter On earning a point on the road… “It’s a good result. We came here for three points – you saw that in the first half. We didn’t come in here to sit back. We came in here to attack, we came here to win the game and I think that’s what makes it even more pleasing is we didn’t come here to get a draw. I was really pleased with that first half. I thought they were a bit better probably than us in the second half. Obviously Jeff [Attinella] came up with a couple of big saves. We had a couple little half chances. We could have kept the ball a little better. I think a lot of that had to do with fatigue. This is our third game, and we didn’t have the luxury of rotating too many guys. So a good number of guys played all three games and you could see that a little bit in the second half. But for us to come in on the road, missing a couple of guys still and playing a very talented team, a team that’s used to scoring goals late, for us to get the point I think we’ll take it.” Portland Timbers goalkeper Jeff Attinella On the positive results over the past few games… “Well, we lost to Toronto, but we are on a decent little run. It is three straight positive results, two wins and a draw. We just have to keep it going. We have a nice little break to get healthy. I know I am going to enjoy these off days and I’m sure everyone else is too. Just get healthy and get ready for this stretch run.” Portland Timbers midfielder Diego Valeri On the feel of the team after a streak of some positive results… “It is good. We are confident. We are really pleased with the way we are playing. We are trying to dominate the game with the ball and with movement, creating chances, stepping as high as we can from the back. We are playing in a good way. We got a point, too, which is important in this part of the season.”
PORTLAND TIMBERS AT NEW YORK CITY FC SATURDAY, SEPT. 9, 2017 ALL-TIME SERIES NOTES Saturday’s match marks the third all-time meeting between Portland and New York City FC, with both teams splitting results in the previous two matches. In the Timbers’ only match played at Yankee Stadium on April 19, 2015, Portland took a 1-0 clean-sheet win on the road. Midfielder Dairon Asprilla scored the game-winning goal. In the only meeting between the two teams in 2016, NYCFC responded with a 2-1 win at Providence Park, with David Villa and Thomas McNamara each scoring in the victory. Timbers forward Fanendo Adi recorded the lone goal for the home side, finding the back of the net in the 55th minute.
