Player Grades: Portland Timbers 1-2 LAFC

On Saturday, the Portland Timbers lost 1-2 in a very important game against LAFC. Considering the opposition, I thought the Timbers had one of their best games this season, but the poor defending on the second goal in the 95th minute cost the team a point.

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

Aljaz Ivacic (GK) - 5.3

While Bravo contributed to the expected conceded goal count with his goal-line clearance, Ivacic once again outperformed this statistic by around 0.
