The Portland Timbers went to Massachusetts and brought home a point thanks to their 1-1 draw against the New England Revolution. The draw guarantees that the Timbers will be above the red line at the end of the weekend, and extends the Revolution to nine straight games without a win.
From the opening whistle, the Revolution were on the front foot, keeping the Timbers from working the ball into the attack. With the Timbers featuring a lineup drastically changed from their mid-week win over Toronto FC, it took some time for the visitors to get comfortable with each other.
