Player Grades: Portland Timbers 1-0 Minnesota United

On Saturday, the Portland Timbers won 1-0 in a crucial game for the Western Conference playoff picture behind a headed goal from Dairon Asprilla and a great goalkeeping performance from Aljaz Ivacic.

Here’s my breakdown of how the Timbers’ players performed as they moved up into the 6th position in the Western Conference, above the playoff line.

Aljaz Ivacic (GK) - 9.0

Although Ivacic’s passing performance wasn’t that great as he only completed 75% of his total passes and 57% of his long passes, he had a spectacular goalkeeping performance, which ranked him in the 91st percentile.
