The Portland Timbers beat the Seattle Sounders in Portland on Friday night 2-1. The Timbers gave up an early goal in the 8th minute off of a header by Yeimar Gomez. The Timbers were the beneficiates of a controversial foul call in the box which led to a Dairon Asprilla goal off of a PK to tie it at 1. The Timbers who have been a great 2nd half team did it again. In the 51st minute, Sebastian Blanco had a very goal off of a brilliant pass by Asprilla to give the Timbers a 2-1 lead. The Sounders put up a couple of good shots at the end of the match, but it wasn’t enough as the Timbers get the win and the 3 points.
