Sporting KC Game Notes | July 1, 2017 vs. Portland Timbers | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #SKCvPOR: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#SKCvPOR: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City is set to face off against the Portland Timbers for the second time in 2017 this Saturday at Children’s Mercy Park. Sporting KC won the previous meeting at Providence Park by a 1-0 scoreline after Dom Dwyer headed home Jimmy Medranda’s cross early in the second half.

Sporting KC is 6-3-2 all-time against the Timbers in the regular season, and have lost just one of their last seven matches against the Oregon-based side. In 2016, the two teams played on another in back-to-back weeks, with Sporting KC taking the first meeting 1-0 behind Jacob Peterson’s header at Children’s Mercy Park on July 31, 2016 before Portland exacted their revenge a week later on Aug. 7, 2016 with a 3-0 victory behind goals from Diego Valeri, Jack Jewsbury and Fanendo Adi. The two sides did meet in a dramatic MLS Cup Playoffs Knockout Round encounter, as the two sides shared four goals to play to a 2-2 draw at Providnece Park, before Portland emerged victorious on their run to becoming 2015 MLS Cup champions with a 7-6 victory on penalty kicks.

The series has been relevantly one-sided in terms of which team plays at home, as Portland has hosted Sporting KC three more times than Peter Vermes’ side. In fact, just one of the last five regular-season meetings has taken place at Children’s Mercy Park, where Sporting KC are 2-1-1 against the Timbers.

Sporting KC Game Notes | July 1, 2017 vs. Portland Timbers | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes BACK HOME AFTER THREE AWAY

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES HIGH-FLYING IKE

After going 2-0-1 in a three-game road-swing to end the month of June, Sporting Kansas City returns home for the first time since a 4-0 demolition of Minnesota United FC in the Fourth Round of the U.S. Open Cup on June 14. Since that game, Sporting KC has played to a 0-0 draw with San Jose at Avaya Stadium on June 17 before topping the LA Galaxy 2-1 at StubHub Center on June 24 and eliminating the Houston Dynamo from the U.S. Open Cup 2-0 at BBVA Compass Stadium on June 28.

During last Saturday’s 2-1 road win over the LA Galaxy, Sporting Kansas City defender Ike Opara scored the AT&T MLS Goal of the Week with a stunning bicycle kick that beat Clement Diop in the Galaxy goal to make the score 2-0 in favor of Sporting KC with halftime approaching. David Romney pulled a goal back for the hosts in the second half, leaving Opara’s glorious goal as the game-winner.

The goal was set up by fellow center back Matt Besler, meaning that Besler has set up each of Opara’s two goals in the regular-season in 2017 - adding on to Opara’s gamewinner against Minnesota United FC on June 3. Besler has assisted on three of Opara’s last four regular-season strikes, with his long throw also finding the forehead of Opara in a 1-0 road win over New York City FC on March 28, 2015.

Sporting KC is unbeaten across both MLS and Open Cup games at Children’s Mercy Park in 2017, going 7-0-2. The side is also riding a 17-game home unbeaten streak in MLS play, posting a 13-0-4 record since a 1-0 defeat to D.C. United on May 27, 2016.

It’s the longest active home unbeaten streak in MLS as Sporting KC are one of just four remaining teams to boast an unbeaten home record in the 2017 regular season, alongside the Houston Dynamo, Toronto FC and the Chicago Fire.

Opara continued his hot streak on Wednesday with the game-winning goal in the 2-0 victory over the Houston Dynamo in the U.S. Open Cup Round of 16. The defender now has game-winning goals in each of Sporting KC’s two Open Cup matchups, meaning he leads the team with four game-winning goals in all competitions, twice as many as any other player.

In the side’s most recent MLS home game, Sporting KC dropped two points in a 1-1 draw with the Montreal Impact on June 10 when a weak backpass late in the game was converted by Matteo Mancosu after Gerso had given Sporting KC the lead in the first half. That snapped a six-game home winning streak and a four-game home shutout streak.

Opara started all six games in the month of June, scoring a team-high four goals - with all four serving as game-winners in victories over Minnesota United FC (June 3 and 14), LA Galaxy (June 24) and Houston (June 28). His four goals in the month were second among all MLS players in all competitions, trailing Columbus midfielder Federico Higuain’s five.

Despite a consensus that Sporting KC has struggled to find the results their performances deserved on the road in 2017, the side went unbeaten in their recent three-game road trip to improve their road record to 2-4-4 in MLS play and 3-4-4 in all competitions.

GERSO HITS HIS STRIDE

Sporting KC will now enjoy a three-game homestand heading into the CONCACAF Gold Cup break, hosting the Portland Timbers on Saturday, July 1 and the Philadelphia Union on Thursday, July 6 in the MLS regular season before taking on FC Dallas in a U.S. Open Cup Quarterfinal at Children’s Mercy Park on July 11.

During Wednesday’s 2-0 victory over the Houston Dynamo at BBVA Compass Stadium in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Round of 16, Sporting Kansas City winger Gerso scored his team-leading eighth goal of the season in all competitions to seal the victory in stoppage time as he latched onto Latif Blessing’s pass and fired beyond Joe Willis into the bottom corner.

TATTERED TIMBERS

Sporting Kansas City has held the edge over the Timbers in the two clubs’ short history together, going 6-3-2 in the regular season since the first-ever matchup between the two sides in 2011. Despite 11 games being played in the all-time regular-season series, just four of those matches have come at Children’s Mercy Park, with the other seven at Providence Park in Portland.

Gerso ends the month of june with three goals and two assists - his first for the club as the offseason acquisition continues to make his mark with Sporting KC. He scored his first goal of the month in the 1-1 draw with the Montreal Impact on June 10 before producing a goal and assist performance against Minnesota United FC in the U.S. Open Cup on June 14.

Sporting KC is 2-1-1 at home against the Timbers, winning the most recent meeting in Kansas City by a 1-0 scoreline behind Jacob Peterson’s bullet header on July 31, 2016. That was the only home match Sporting KC has had against Portland in the last five regular-season clashes, but has still found decent success on the road in that time, going 3-1-1 across those five games.

He followed that up with his first regular-season assist on Roger Espinoza’s opening goal in the 2-1 win over the LA Galaxy on June 24 before scoring once again against the Dynamo on Wednesday as Sporting KC advanced to the Open Cup Quarterfinals for the second time in three seasons.

Gerso is tied for third in MLS with 82 dribbles attempted and is second with 40 dribbles completed and scored the first Sporting KC hat-trick since 2010 with a rapid-fire treble in the 3-0 victory over Seattle Sounders FC on May 17 at Children’s Mercy Park. He now has eight goals and two assists in 20 games in all competitions.

In the only other meeting earlier in 2017, Sporting KC earned a 1-0 victory at Providence Park after Dom Dwyer headed home Jimmy Medranda’s cross early in the second half before goalkeeper Tim Melia produced an MLS Save of the Week winner to deny Darlington Nagbe late in the day.

ROLLING IN THE U.S. OPEN CUP

That victory extended Sporting KC’s excellent record at Providence Park, where the side has gone 4-2-1 in the regular season, including a 3-1-1 mark in their last five games in Oregon. Portland did claim perhaps the most important meeting between the two sides in the MLS Cup Playoffs Knockout Round in 2015 where the Timbers claimed a 7-6 victory on penalty kicks after a 2-2 draw on their way to lifting MLS Cup.

Sporting Kansas City completed an unbeaten month of June by advancing to the Quarterfinal stage of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup with a 2-0 victory over the Houston Dynamo at BBVA Compass Stadium on Wednesday night. Peter Vermes’ men will take on another Texas-based side in FC Dallas in the Quarterfinals on July 11 at Children’s Mercy Park.

WELCOME TO KANSAS CITY, CRISTIAN LOBATO

The Dynamo started more positively in the game and tested Tim Melia either side of halftime before Ike Opara headed into the corner to give Sporting KC the lead midway through the second half. With Houston throwing numbers forward in stoppage time, the duo of Latif Blessing and Gerso killed the game off as the former found the latter for a crisp finish into the bottom corner in the 91st minute.

Lobato has made more than 150 professional appearances since 2008, including a two-year stint at FC Barcelona B where he was teammates with current Sporting KC midfielder Ilie from 2011-2013. The midfielder spent four years at FC Barcelona’s famed La Masia academy before ending his youth career at Spanish outfit CE L’Hospitalet.

With the win, Sporting KC avoided the same fate that the side suffered in last season’s Open Cup when the Dynamo emerged victorious in the Round of 16 clash in Houston by a 3-1 scoreline. Sporting KC have now advanced to the Quarterfinal for the third time in the last six seasons, having also done so in 2012 and 2015 - with the club winning the tournament on each occasion.

On Thursday, Sporting Kansas City announced that the club had signed Spanish winger Cristian Lobato from Gimnastic de Tarragona in the Spanish Second Division. The 28-year-old signed an MLS contract through 2018 with an option for 2019 and will be eligible to play for Sporting KC once the Secondary Transfer Window opens on July 10.

Lobato earned his senior team debut for Hospitalet in 2008 and played over 80 league matches, helping the club win a Tercera Division title in 2009-10 and promotion to the Segunda Division B. He then joined Barcelona B, scoring eight goals in 57 games before making his top-flight debut for CA Osasuna in 2014. He had a brief stop at Greek side Asteras Tripoli before a return to Spain saw Lobato join Gimnastic, where he played 49 matches as Gimnastic nearly earned promotion to La Liga in 2015-16.

Sporting KC has won the tournament on three occasions: 2004, 2012 and most recently in 2015. Only the Chicago Fire and Seattle Sounders FC have won the competition more often in the MLS era (1996-present) with four titles apiece while Sporting KC are the only MLS side to win the tournament every time the side has taken part in the final. Sporting KC is 26-15-6 all-time in the U.S. Open Cup, including a 9-8-4 record away from home and a 17-7-2 mark across various locations in the Kansas City area.

Sporting Kansas City also announced that the club has waived right back Igor Juliao after the 22-year-old Brazilian made one appearance - starting in the 2-0 defeat to Minnesota United FC on May 7 - while on loan from parent club Fluminense.

Sporting KC Game Notes | July 1, 2017 vs. Portland Timbers | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES (CONTINUED)

ACADEMY TO FACE RSL IN PLAYOFFS AT CMP ON JULY 6

DWYER CLOSING IN ON PREKI

The Sporting Kansas City Academy U-16s will host the Real Salt Lake AZ U-16s in the 2017 U.S. Soccer Development Academy quarterfinals on Thursday, July 6 at Children’s Mercy Park. The single-elimination showdown will kick off at 3 p.m. CT, taking place prior to Sporting Kansas City’s home game against the Philadelphia Union at 7:30 p.m. The occasion marks the first time a Sporting KC Academy team has played a competitive match inside Children’s Mercy Park.

After yet another season of rampant goalscoring, forward Dom Dwyer is now within touching distance of Sporting KC legend Preki for the most goals in both MLS and in all competitions.

Dwyer’s total currently stands at 67 in all competitions, including 57 in the regular season.

Dwyer sits just 14 MLS goals and 14 strikes in all competitions shy of Preki’s all-time records of 71 and 81, respectively.

The U-16s punched their ticket to the quarterfinals for the first time after finishing atop Group E at the Development Academy Playoffs in Westfield, Indiana. Sporting KC claimed victories on Thursday, June 22 with a 4-1 win over Everton FC Westchester and Saturday, June 24 3-1 over Pateadores before a 2-2 draw on Monday, June 26 secured first place and the quarterfinal berth that came with it.

The 26-year-old has amassed 55 goals since the start of the 2014 season. Only Bradley Wright-Phillips has scored more MLS goals in that time period than Dwyer, and took home the MLS Golden Boot titles in 2014 and 2016.

Another factor that comes into play is Dwyer’s longevity. The Londoner is the only Sporting KC player to appear in at least 36 games in all competitions over the last three seasons.

A strong regular season saw the Sporting KC U-16s earn second place in the Frontier Division of the Development Academy’s Central Conference, posting a record of 17-6-3.

The team features a pair of promising U.S. youth internationals in 15-year-old Gianluca Busio and 16-year-old Cameron Duke - the brother of Swope Park Rangers captain Christian Duke - while Abdu Kikhia leads the side with 12 goals.

Player Preki Dwyer Arnaud Wolff Klein

Based in Casa Grande, Arizona, the Real Salt Lake AZ U-16s went 22-8-6 in the regular season to finish runners-up in the Southwest Division. The winner of next Thursday’s game will advance to the U.S. Soccer Development Academy Championships at the U.S. Soccer National Training Center in Carson, California. Semifinal matchups will kick off on Friday, July 14, with third-place and championship matches set for Sunday, July 16. The U-16s are looking to become the first Sporting KC Academy club to advance to the Development Academy Championships.

PLAYOFF STREAK

Sporting KC is looking to become the sixth club in MLS history to make at least seven straight trips to the postseason, while Manager Peter Vermes would be just the fourth coach to lead the same team to seven straight playoff appearances.

Sporting Kansas City midfielder Benny Feilhaber is tied for second on the team with two goals and his three assists place him in a tie for first on the squad. Feilhaber hit 50 regular-season assists on Wednesday, May 17 against Seattle Sounders FC when he helped set up Gerso’s third and final goal of the game - nine for the New England Revolution and 41 for Sporting KC. On top of his exploits on the scoresheet, Feilhaber is tied for third in MLS with 43 chances created - trailing his childhood friend and New York Red Bulls midfielder Sacha Kljestan’s 52 - and leads the league with 30 chances created from open play, one ahead of Portland’s Diego Valeri, New England’s Lee Nguyen and NYCFC’s David Villa.

As a club, Sporting KC leads Major League Soccer with 194 chances created - one more than the Portland Timbers in second - and chances created from open play with 171. Sporting KC have produced the vast majority of their chances from open play, with Ike Opara’s headed goal off Graham Zusi’s corner kick in the U.S. Open Cup Fourth Round victory over Minnesota on June 14 the first goal the side has designed off a set piece in 2017.

BESLER AND SINOVIC RENEW PARTNERSHIP

VERMES VERBATIM

After helping Sporting KC record nine shutouts in the opening 18 games on the left side of the defense to open the 2017 MLS season, center back Matt Besler and left back Seth Sinovic have now posted 47 total shutouts in just 122 games where both have started in the regular season. Besler and Sinovic have started 17 of the club’s 18 regular-season games together this season, posting all nine shutouts.

On overall thoughts on the 2-0 U.S. Open Cup victory over Houston...

“Definitely it wasn’t an easy match for either team. I think both of us played a lot of different guys in our lineup. It was one of those games where it was going to take a goal to change things. We really didn’t give too much away throughout the game. We were able to put the second goal in, which was a killer goal. (Forward) Latif (Blessing) played really well for us tonight. He was a hand full. He caused the second goal, obviously, he stretched out the defense. It was a good performance all around. We knew coming in with the time a day it would be a difficult game. We also knew it would be difficult for them too, not easy for either team. I thought we did a good job with it.”

Since Sinovic made his first appearance for the team on May 28, 2011 after being waived by the New England Revolution earlier in the year, Sporting KC leads all of MLS with 77 shutouts - 14 more than the LA Galaxy in second. Besler and Sinovic have started 122 of the 214 games since the trade, posting 47 of the club’s 77 shutouts alongside one another.

On Ike Opara’s performance...

“When he opens up his account each year all of a sudden he starts to get in this role.

He really does, it’s kind of strange. He is in a rhythm at the moment. He was out for two years. I mean for two years in a row he had a season ending injury. I’m happy for him not only for the goals, but really for the fact that he has been playing consistently. He is playing at a higher level at the moment based on the fact that he has put a lot of hard work in and worked hard for it.”

Individually, Besler leads the league in shutouts since Sinovic joined the club with 63, while Sinovic is second with 56. Prior to the 1-1 draw with Montreal on Saturday, June 10 where Belser was with the U.S. National Team in Mexico, Besler and Sinovic had started each of Sporting KC’s previous 17 regular-season games, conceding just 10 goals - a rate of 0.59 per game.

Sporting KC Game Notes | July 1, 2017 vs. Portland Timbers | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes Manager | Peter Vermes

Assistant Coach | Kerry Zavagnin Assistant Coach Kerry Zavagnin first joined Kansas City in 2000 as a holding midfielder and was an integral part of the club’s midfield for the next nine seasons, during which time he helped lead the Wizards to MLS Cup (2000) and U.S. Open Cup (2004) Championships. He was named to the MLS All-Star team and the Best XI in 2004. Zavagnin’s primary duties as an assistant include scouting, developing Sporting Kansas City’s younger players, breaking down film and assisting with training sessions, among others.

Peter Vermes is in his ninth season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2017. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 138 coaching victories in all competitions are the most club history. During his tenure, he has won three major trophies – the 2012 and 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups and the 2013 MLS Cup championship – and finished atop the Eastern Conference regular-season standings in 2011 and 2012. He is the first coach in club history to lead Sporting KC to six straight postseason appearances, as well as the only person to ever win the MLS Cup as both a player and a coach with the same team. His 111 regular-season wins top the club’s all-time chart and rank eighth most in MLS history. He passed his former coach Bob Gansler as the winningest manager in team history with a 3-1 win over Real Salt Lake on Aug. 12, 2015, his 109th victory in all competitions. He has coached 314 total games during his Kansas City coaching career, most in club history.

He started his professional career with the New York/New Jersey MetroStars, where he played in 39 games over two seasons. After spending one season with the Lehigh Valley Steam (USL-1), Zavagnin came to Kansas City in 2000. He played 237 games (228 starts) and logged 20,516 minutes for Kansas City, setting team records in both categories. He scored eight goals and added 22 assists in his nine seasons in Kansas City blue. Zavagnin was named Team Defender of the Year in 2001.

Vermes oversees all soccer operations for Sporting KC, including the active roster, the Swope Park Rangers (USL) and the Sporting KC Academy. Vermes entered MLS ahead of its inaugural season in 1996 and retired from the league in 2002, closing out his playing career in Kansas City after stints with the New York/New Jersey MetroStars and Colorado Rapids.

On top of his club success in Kansas City, Zavagnin also appeared 21 times for the United States Men’s National Team. He recorded one assist for the U.S., who went 15-2-4 when Zavagnin featured. He married his wife Mirriam prior to the 2009 season, when he became an assistant coach at the club.

Following a standout high school career in which he was named New Jersey Player of the Year, Vermes was a star forward and All-American at Rutgers University. After college, Vermes represented the United States in the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea, and was named 1988 Chevrolet U.S. Male Soccer Athlete of the Year for his efforts.

Assistant Coach | Zoran Savic

Vermes was an integral part of a young U.S. team at the 1990 World Cup in Italy, where he nearly scored a sensational goal against the host Azzurri. It was the first time the U.S. had qualified for the World Cup in 40 years and set the stage for the progress of the U.S. National Team. In 1989 and 1990, Vermes became the first American to play in the Hungarian and Dutch First Divisions, playing for Raba ETO and FC Volendam, respectively. He later spent five years with Figueras of the Spanish Second Division.

Assistant Coach Zoran Savic joined Sporting Kansas City late in the 2009 season after a 30-year career at all levels of the game in the United States.

A native of Gornji Milanovac, Yugoslavia, Savic began his journey through American soccer with the Buffalo Stallions of the Major Indoor Soccer League in 1980. Savic would go on to star for several MISL teams, with his most prosperous period coming with the Kansas City Comets, with whom he scored 70 goals in just over 100 appearances from 1982-1984.

For MLS’s inaugural season in 1996, Vermes served as captain of the New York/New Jersey MetroStars. In 1997, he was traded to the Colorado Rapids for current Sporting KC Assistant Coach Kerry Zavagnin and played in Denver through the 1999 season, leading the Rapids to the 1997 MLS Cup Final.

After retiring as a player in 1991, Savic turned his attention to coaching in the indoor game. Savic led the Kansas City Attack from 1992-1996, winning Coach of the Year honors for the 1994-1995 season while also serving as the team’s General Manager. Savic later coached the Kansas City Comets from 2000-2005.

Vermes joined Kansas City in 2000 for what would be the most successful seasons of his MLS career. During his first year in Kansas City, he anchored one of the best defenses in league history and won MLS Defender of the Year honors in helping lead the Wizards to the 2000 MLS Cup Championship. He retired in 2002 after appearing in 209 MLS matches (including playoffs) and playing more than 18,000 minutes. In 2013, Vermes was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame.

Year

In 2007 Savic switched to the outdoor game, joining Chivas USA as an assistant to then-head coach Preki before moving into the commentary booth for Kansas City matches in 2008 and 2009. Savic’s career as a commentator was cut short, however, when newly installed Manager Peter Vermes tabbed Savic to be part of his coaching staff late in the 2009 season.

HEAD COACH CALEB PORTER Head coach Caleb Porter enters his fifth season with the Timbers in 2017. Since joining the club for the 2013 season, Porter has compiled one of the league’s top winning percentages among active coaches with a record of 60-46-48, while leading the Timbers to their first MLS Cup title in 2015, two Western Conference Championship appearances and double-digit victory totals in each of his first four seasons.

During his tenure, the Timbers have qualified for CONCACAF Champions League twice (2014-15, 2016-17), finished in the top three in the Western Conference twice and made their deepest run in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, reaching the semifinals in 2013.

Porter coached in his 100th game as an MLS coach against Real Salt Lake on Oct. 14, 2015, posting a record of 39-25-36 in those games, which tied Dominic Kinnear for the fewest losses (25) in MLS history in a coach’s first 100 career games. In addition, his .570 winning percentage during that span ranked fourth among then-active coaches through their first 100 games, behind the Bruce Arena (6237-1, .625), Sigi Schmid (52-33-15, .595) and Kinnear (40-25-35, .575).

Ending the 2015 campaign with a nine-game unbeaten run across all competitions, the Timbers lifted their first MLS Cup trophy with a 2-1 win over Columbus Crew SC on Dec. 6, 2015. Portland finished the regular season with an MLS-club-record 15 wins, while also tying for the league lead in shutouts (13).

On the road, the Timbers finished the 2015 season tied for the most road wins (7) in the league.

Porter, who led the Timbers to a club-record 12 home victories in 2016, is a two-time recipient of the Oregon Sports Awards’ Slats Gill Award for Sportsperson of the Year (2013, 2015), becoming the fourth soccer-related figure to receive the honor since it was founded in 1957. On Aug. 6, 2014, Porter helped guide the MLS All-Stars to a 2-1 win over Bayern Munich in the 2014 AT&T MLS All-Star Game at Providence Park.

In his first season with the club, Porter was named the 2013 MLS Coach of the Year after assembling one of the biggest turnaround seasons in league history, guiding the Timbers to a 23-point improvement and a plus-43 goal-differential increase over the previous season. The 2013 club finished atop the Western Conference to secure its first MLS playoff berth and posted a league-best 15 shutouts, including a league-record 11 clean sheets at home.

Prior to joining the Timbers, Porter, who holds a U.S. Soccer Federation “A” license, was one of the most successful coaches in NCAA history during his tenure as head coach at the University of Akron (200612).

PORTLAND TIMBERS AT SPORTING KANSAS CITY SATURDAY, JULY 1, 2017 PREVIOUS MATCH - PORTLAND TIMBERS VS SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC (T 2-2) MATCH RECAP

BOX SCORE

The Portland Timbers drew Cascadia-rival Seattle Sounders FC 2-2 before a sold-out crowd of 21,144 fans at Providence Park on Sunday night. Forward Fanendo Adi scored his 50th league goal in the match against Sounders FC, while midfielder Dairon Asprilla recorded his second goal of the season.

With the 2-2 result, the Timbers (7-7-4, 25pts) are unbeaten in their last five home matches in league play and have lost just once in their last 14 home games (10-1-3), dating back to the 2016 season. Additionally, Portland is unbeaten in four straight home games against Seattle, dating back to the 2015 MLS campaign.

Following Seattle’s opening goal from defender Joevin Jones in the 26th minute of play, the Timbers were able to level the score when midfielder Darlington Nagbe was brought down from behind inside the 18-yard box in the 44th minute of play, forcing referee Ricardo Salazar to award a penalty to the Timbers and issue a red card to Seattle defender Brad Evans, reducing the visitors to 10 men. Stepping up to the spot, Adi calmly placed his effort down the middle, sending Sounders FC goalkeeper Stefan Frei the wrong way.

NOTABLE QUOTES Portland Timbers head coach Caleb Porter Overall thoughts on the game…

“Feels like a loss. Very disappointing. Didn’t think we managed the second half well. This has now become a pattern. We’re in winning position and we don’t show a strong enough mentality. A strong enough urgency. For me when I look at how we played after we gave up the goal. That’s the way we should play every game for 90 minutes. There’s a pattern of this I would say mix of complacency with a few guys and a mix of fear with a few guys and we’ve got to change it because when the pressure tightened up in the second half we didn’t manage the game well. We gave the ball up too much. We fouled too much.

We didn’t score the third goal when we should have. We should have showed more killer instinct. We didn’t manage the last 10 minutes well.

There was some poor decisions on going to corners and keeping the ball. These are just things you have to manage as a professional player and as professional team. A winning team. This is a pivotal moment.

This is either the turning point where we finally decide after the guys look in the mirror and they look at that second half and they realize it’s not good enough where it could be a turning point. Either a stepping stone or it’s going to be a stumbling block. It’s one of two things, but we’ve got to sort it out if we are going to win anything. Otherwise we will continue to fall short. We will always play pretty well because we’ve got a good enough team and we are organized. We’ve got our fans behind us. But to be a winning team we have to have a stronger mentality.”
