The Portland Timbers could not break through a Dallas side that remains at the top of the Western Conference, coming away from Saturday’s home match with few scoring chances and a 0-0 draw.
The Timbers came charging out of the gate and in the second minute managed the first chance of the match. With Dallas still finding their defensive shape, Jorge Villafana curled in an early cross to the center of the box that found Jeremy Ebobisse for a diving header that connected but was deflected away from goal by a Dallas defender.
