LAST MATCH RECAP The Portland Timbers’ run in the 2016-17 Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League came to an end with a 1-1 draw against Deportivo Saprissa in the final group-stage match at Providence Park before 16,977 fans on Oct. 16. Entering Wednesday’s match with one point fewer than Deportivo Saprissa, the Timbers needed a win to advance to the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals for the first time in club history. With the result, the Timbers finished second in the Group B standings, while remaining unbeaten at home in CONCACAF Champions League play, including the 2014 campaign. Down 1-0, Portland leveled the score early in the second half when forward Jack McInerney scored his eighth goal across all competitions this season.

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.
