In a “road” match played in Providence Park, the Portland Timbers took down the Vancouver Whitecaps 1-0, earning their third straight win and second straight clean sheet. Felipe Mora scored the lone goal of the match.
Unsurprisingly, the Timbers rotated heavily for this one, having key players like Diego Valeri, Yimmi Chara and Jeremy Ebobisse start on the bench before subbing in the second half. Portland also put Felipe Mora in the number nine spot instead of Jaroslaw Niezgoda while Larrys Mabiala made his first start since sustaining a leg injury against the Seattle Sounders on Sept.
