It’s come down to this: Decision Day 2020.
Currently the Portland Timbers are second in the West, with 1.73 PPG. A Portland win and a Sporting Kansas City loss and the Timbers could end up with the number one seed heading into the MLS Cup playoffs.
The Timbers are trying to rebound from a heartbreaking loss 1-0 to the Colorado Rapids. The death knell came in the 83rd minute from the foot of Kellyn Acosta and sealed the deal for the Rapids.
The Timbers are going to have to put that loss in the rearview if they want to beat LAFC.
