On Saturday, the Portland Timbers lost 2-0 against the Colorado Rapids, who played with ten men for the last thirty minutes of the game. The Timbers were on the back foot and defended for most of the game and never seemed to get into a rhythm to string together multiple quality chances.

Here’s my breakdown of how the Timbers’ players performed as they moved down into the 10th position in the Western Conference.
