PORTLAND, Ore. – “It’s amazing.”
Timbers midfielder Sebastián Blanco, fresh from scoring the game-winning goal in Portland’s important 2-1 victory over Seattle Sounders FC in the first leg of the Audi 2018 MLS Cup Playoffs Western Conference Semifinals, was happy not only for his goal, but also to be able to share the moment after the match with his one-year old daughter, Felicitas.
Blanco, who needed teammate Diego Chara to temporarily hold Felicitas for him while he lifted his freshly cut log slab aloft in front of the Timbers Army after the match, was all smiles when asked about celebration.
