In a letdown game after last weekend’s high, the Portland Timbers dropped a 3-2 decision on the road to the San Jose Earthquakes. Portland got a pair of goals off of corner kicks from Cristhian Paredes and Bill Tuiloma, but they were canceled out by a diving header from Jackson Yueill and a brace from Jamiro Monteiro to give the hosts the three points.
Facing a game on short rest, the Timbers fielded a rotated side to keep players fresh. New man Nathan Fogaça got another start up top, flanked by Santiago Moreno and Marvin Loria.
