Fresh off of strong performances last weekend, Portland Timbers players Jaroslaw Niezgoda and Bill Tuiloma have both been named to the MLS Team of the Week for week 16. Niezgoda recorded a brace and Tuiloma added an assist in the Timbers’ runaway 3-0 win over the Colorado Rapids on Saturday night.
Both players were key contributors to Portland’s big win. Niezgoda recorded his first brace since 2020 by tallying two goals in the second half, bringing him into a tie (with Tuiloma) for the team leader in goals with five scored so far in 2022.
