LAST MATCH RECAP In their final home match of the 2016 MLS regular season, the Portland Timbers defeated the Colorado Rapids 1-0 before a sold-out crowd of 21,144 fans at Providence Park on Oct. 16. Forward Fanendo Adi scored the Timbers lone goal, converting from the penalty spot in the first half to record his 16th goal of the season. With the result, the Timbers are tied for sixth place in the Western Conference standings with one game remaining in the regular season. With a win at Vancouver in its final match of the season on Sunday, Oct. 23, Portland will earn its third playoff berth in the last four seasons. Additionally, the win against Colorado extended Portland’s home unbeaten streak against the Rapids to six games, dating back to Aug. 31, 2012, as the Timbers recorded their 12th home win of the season. Portland’s 12 wins at Providence Park in 2016 mark the most home wins in the club’s MLS era, while also ranking as the secondmost home wins in MLS this season, behind only the New York Red Bulls (13). Approaching halftime, the Timbers opened the scoring in the 35th minute of play when forward Fanendo Adi converted a finish from the penalty spot, sending Rapids goalkeeper Tim Howard the wrong way while placing his effort in the right corner.

NO PLACE LIKE HOME 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.
