The Portland Timbers need to capitalize on their opportunities
The Portland Timbers hosted LAFC at Providence Park on Sunday evening, and with the starting IXs looking a little uneven, disappointedly left three points on the pitch in stoppage time.
This Portland squad has gone through several Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde moments this season. As the high scoring Timbers of mid-September to mid-October don’t appear to be the same squad taking the field as of this past couple of weeks.
It was a hard-fought match, which saw several adjustments from the host squad, an attacking mindset, and the willingness to distribute the ball as needed to score.
