On Saturday, the Portland Timbers drew 0-0 against the Houston Dynamo. While nobody from either side was able to get on the scoresheet, there were plenty of opportunities for both sides; however, neither side had the ability to finish their chances (granted, there were great performances from goalkeepers on both sides).
Here’s my breakdown of how the Timbers’ players performed as they slid into the ninth position in the Western Conference.

Ivacic built off his impressive game last week by providing a shot-stopping clinic against the Dynamo and even producing some decent passing out of the back for possibly the first time this season.
