The Union coughed up an early lead and continued their funk in this Major League Soccer season, a funk that actually began at the end of last season.
A goal awarded to Roy Miller in the 66th minute broke a 1-1 tie and helped the Portland Timbers to a 3-1 win over the Union on Saturday before 15,437 at Talen Energy Stadium.
The Union are 0-3-2 and extended their regular-season winless streak to 12 games dating back to last season. They are 0-8-4 in that span.
Portland, the Western Conference leader and a team that plays a precise possession game, is 4-1-1.
