LAST MATCH RECAP

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.

The Portland Timbers battled Cascadia-rival Seattle Sounders FC to a 1-1 draw before 51,796 fans at CenturyLink Field on Aug. 27. Midfielder Diego Valeri produced the Timbers goal in the match, converting from the penalty spot late in the first half to score for a sixth straight game.
