LAST MATCH RECAP The Timbers conceded a goal in each half – including a late penalty kick – in a 2-0 loss against MLS-expansion side Orlando City SC in front of sellout crowd of 21,144 fans at Providence Park on April 12. The loss, Portland’s first home loss of the season, ended the team’s home unbeaten run at seven consecutive matches, dating back to last season. Despite finishing with an 18-14 advantage in shots, including a 4-3 edge in shots on goal, Portland conceded the opening goal in the 30th minute and Orlando City added an 85th-minute penalty kick.

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 26-14-28 mark (.588) 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 the second-fewest home losses in MLS over the last two seasons with a 16-4-14 regular-season mark at Providence Park since 2013. 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 NEW YORK CITY FC SUNDAY, APRIL 19, 2015 ALL-TIME SERIES NOTES Sunday’s match at Yankee Stadium marks the first-ever meeting between the Timbers and MLS-expansion side New York City FC. The match also marks the first match for the Timbers to be played in New York City, during the team’s MLS era. Sunday’s match marks just the second-ever match for the Timbers in New York City during the team’s 40-year history. While Portland made several trips to face the New York Cosmos during the NASL era and the New York Red Bulls in MLS, only one previous road match was played in New York City. The Timbers faced off against the New York Cosmos on July 16, 1975, at Downing Stadium on Randalls Island in the New York City borough of Manhattan. Other road matches against New York City-based NASL and MLS sides have taken place at the Meadowlands and Red Bull Arena, both located in New Jersey.

LAST TIME IN THE BIG APPLE The only other time the Timbers played a league game in New York City came on July 16, 1975, in a 2-1 win over the New York Cosmos in the North American Soccer League. The match, which occurred nearly 40 years ago, was broadcast on tape-delay on Portland’s KATU TV, and was the first-ever Timbers match to be broadcast on TV. Timbers midfielder Brian Godfrey delivered a 30-yard free kick into the back of the net with 20 minutes remaining in the match to give Portland a 2-1 win in front of 13,421 fans at Downing Stadium. The victory boosted the Timbers into first place in the NASL Western Conference with five matches left on the regular-season schedule. Portland took a 1-0 lead in the 30th minute on forward Peter Withe’s 10th goal of the campaign, while the victory marked the 12th win in Portland’s last 14 games during the season. Brazilian superstar Pelé tallied the equalizer for the Cosmos in the 61st minute with a header from close range. The match came as part of a four-game Eastern Conference swing for the Timbers, which included wins over Hartford, New York and St. Louis.

QUICK TURNAROUND FOR NYCFC New York City FC played on Thursday night against the Philadelphia Union at Yankee Stadium. Head coach Jason Kreis’ side conceded a late equalizer in the second half as New York City FC played to a 1-1 draw against the Union.

Sunday’s match against the Timbers marks New York City FC’s second match in a span of four days.

FAMILIAR FACE New York City FC features goalkeeper Josh Saunders, a former Timbers USL standout in net. Saunders, a native of Grants Pass, Ore., made 90 regular-season appearances for the second-division Timbers from 2003-06, logging a 41-29-18 overall record with 22 clean sheets - one shy of the Timbers all-time career record mark.

PORTLAND TIMBERS AT NEW YORK CITY FC SUNDAY, APRIL 19, 2015 SCOUTING NEW YORK CITY FC One of two MLS expansion teams entering the league in 2015 (along with Orlando City SC), New York City FC is jointly owned by City Football Group (owners of English Premier League side Manchester City) and Major League Baseball’s New York Yankees. Playing their home matches at Yankee Stadium in New York City, NYCFC conceded a late goal in the second half of a 1-1 draw against the Philadelphia Union on Thursday, ahead of facing the Timbers on Sunday.

Highlighting head coach Jason Kreis’ squad is former Spanish international star David Villa. The forward leads NYCFC with two goals and one assist in five appearances (all starts). The 33-year-old helped Spain win the 2010 FIFA World Cup as well as the 2008 European Championship. Alongside Villa is U.S. Men’s National Team midfielder Mix Diskerud (1 goal), while former Real Salt Lake midfielder Ned Grabavoy has registered two assists and second-year forward Patrick Mullins has tallied one goal.

SPREAD THE LOVE Entering the week, the Timbers have had an array of contributors on the offensive end with nine different players having either a goal or an assist for the club.

No other team in MLS has as many, with six teams tied for the second-most with eight. Leading the way is forward Fanendo Adi, who has three goals and one assist for the Timbers.

REBOUNDING FROM A LOSS Since the 2013 season, the Timbers have won eight times in games immediately following a loss. While suffering consecutive losses just twice in those two-plus seasons, the club is an impressive 8-2-5 overall in games directly following a defeat, including a recent 3-1 victory over FC Dallas on April 4 (which followed a 2-1 loss at Vancouver on March 28).

TACKLES Entering the week, Timbers defender Alvas Powell ranks second among all players in MLS with 25 tackles. A Jamaican international, Powell has played all 90 minutes in each of Portland’s first six matches.

UPCOMING MILESTONES Defender Nat Borchers will make his 295th career MLS appearance should he play on Sunday against New York City FC. Borchers has started each of Portland’s first six regular-season matches in 2015.

Midfielder Jack Jewsbury’s next start will mark the 250th of his MLS career.

Jewsbury reached the 300 career appearances milestone during the 2014 season and has appeared in five games (3 starts) for Portland this season.

Forward Maximiliano Urruti’s next start will mark his 20th career start for the Timbers. Urruti has appeared in six matches (3 starts) this season and scored 10 goals in 30 games (12 starts) for Portland last season.

Midfielder/forward Rodney Wallace is moving closer to the 10,000 minutes played milestone for his MLS career. The 26-year-old enters Saturday’s match with 9,883 minutes played, including 6,694 of those minutes with the Timbers since 2011. Wallace needs just 117 more minutes to reach the milestone.

ON THE ROAD IN THE EAST Over the last two seasons, the Timbers have an impressive 4-2-4 record when visiting Eastern Conference foes. In those 10 matches, Portland has notched multiple goals in six games.

PUSHING THROUGH THE FOULS Portland ranks first overall in the league in dribbles completed (66), according to Opta. The stat tracks moments when an individual player successfully dribbles around an opponent while retaining possession. Midfielder Darlington Nagbe (20) and defender Alvas Powell (15) rank second and third, respectively, in the league behind FC Dallas’ Fabian Castillo (23). Highlighting the stat is the fact that the Timbers are the most fouled team in MLS (98). Nagbe has been fouled 19 times (fourth-most in MLS), while forward Fanendo Adi ranks sixth in the league, suffering 14 fouls.

APPLYING PRESSURE

CONSISTENCY The Timbers have had five players play every minute of the club’s matches so far this season. No other team in MLS has had as many players play every minute of their team’s matches in 2015. Liam Ridgewell, Adam Kwarasey, Nat Borchers, Alvas Powell and Darlington Nagbe have each gone the full 90 in Portland’s six matches (540 minutes).

Showcasing the team’s ability to get forward during games, the Timbers rank second in MLS in chances created (56). Midfielder Darlington Nagbe ranks tied for first in the league in chances created by an individual player (15). The Timbers are tied for second in MLS with 33 corner kicks, while also placing second among all teams with 28 shots on goal. Portland also ranks third among league leaders in total shots (78).

HITTING THE ROAD The Timbers will look to continue their past success on the road as they will play five of their next six matches away from home, including three matches at Eastern Conference opponents. Last year, Portland compiled a 7-6-4 mark on the road. Starting with Sunday’s match, Portland will travel a minimum of 17,776 miles (calculated using direct air distance) in 35 days for MLS regularseason matches. Portland travels to face New York City FC, Seattle, Montreal, Houston and Toronto FC in its next five road games.
