A Y. Chara hat trick propels the Timbers into the Concacaf Champions League quarterfinals

The Portland Timbers beat CD Marathon 5-0 in Providence Park Tuesday to give the Timbers a 7-2 aggregate win.

The second leg of the Portland Timbers’ Scotiabank Concacaf Champions League clash with CD Marathon started with the Honduran side winning an early free kick. From there, the match continued at a frantic, choppy pace.

Dario Zuparic was given a yellow in the 8th minute after giving away a dangerous free kick. Portland and CD Marathon drove at each other in transition but, despite early warning signs, the Timbers took advantage first.

Darion Asprilla and Yimmi Chara proved to be a deadly partnership throughout the match.
