Welcome to an early Forecast this week, since the Portland Timbers play Friday evening!
It was the third good weekend in a row for the Timbers, as they traveled to Utah and downed Real Salt Lake by a score of 2-1. Sebastian Blanco and Diego Valeri both got goals off rebounds, while Sam Johnson answered for RSL with a nice back-heel assist from Corey Baird. Before either team scored, however, Steve Clark got the chance to be a hero when Salt Lake earned a penalty on Zarek Valentin’s handball.
