PORTLAND, Ore. – Jeremy Ebobisse left Portland Timbers fans wanting more just over a year ago when he scored in a Cascadia Derby victory against Vancouver Whitecaps FC, but that rookie-year performance has become an increased talking point this year amid his team’s quest to replace the departed Fanendo Adi.
On Saturday, the second-year forward got his first prolonged chance of the MLS season to do so, taking advantage of an opportunity to start against the Colorado Rapids by producing the game’s first goal, the eventual winning tally in a 2-0 victory at Providence Park.
