Player Grades: Portland Timbers 1-1 Vancouver Whitecaps

On Sunday, the Portland Timbers drew 1-1 against the Vancouver Whitecaps, despite going down a goal early. Against a low defensive block for much of the game, the Timbers showed the necessary skill and determination to grind out a point.

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

Aljaz Ivacic (GK) - 6.7

Ivacic had a decent passing performance as he completed a high percentage of his passes (91% of his total passes and 75% of his long passes) but he attempted very few passes as he ranked below the 20th percentile for his total pass and long pass grade.
