NO PLACE LIKE HOME LAST MATCH RECAP Benefiting from defender Liam Ridgewell’s first career Major League Soccer goal and a strong second-half effort, the Timbers overcame a halftime deficit to earn a road point in a 1-1 draw against the New England Revolution before 16,409 fans at Gillette Stadium on Saturday night. Trailing 1-0 in the 65th minute, Ridgewell intercepted a Revolution pass at midfield and continued to dribble through two New England defenders and into the penalty box before burying a left-footed shot inside the far right post for the equalizer. With the result, Portland has tallied at least one point in 13 of the last 17 matches and ranks among league leaders with the most points earned (27) in that span. The Timbers also extended their road unbeaten streak against Eastern Conference sides to four consecutive matches (2-0-2) this season.

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 51 consecutive regular-season home games in the team’s first three MLS seasons. Last year, the club earned an 11-1-5 overall regular-season home record in 17 games, which was the best home record in MLS. The Timbers compiled an MLS-club record 22-game unbeaten streak at Providence Park from April 6, 2013 to June 1, 2014.
