Welcome to One Big Tree, a weekly(ish) highlight of something memorable or noteworthy from the week that was in Portland Timbers, along with some smaller important(ish) things.
This week’s One Big Tree: A feature, not a bug.
There was a moment on Sunday night where the old magic seemed to be back. George Fochive had just scored the equalizer to make it 2-2, and Providence Park was rocking. The smoke was blowing, the chainsaw was revving, and the atmosphere was crackling.
What made that moment so impactful was it was a moment when the Timbers felt like the Timbers again.
