Rose City Forecast 18: Rivalry

Related Topics: Penalty card, Diego Valeri

Another game, another forecast. Last game was... well, it was a soccer game. PTFC lost 3-2, deservedly, in a match that was something of a wacky game, with two own goals, a PK, comical defending, and a double red card.

The first goal came on an Okugo own goal only seven minutes in to give Minnesota the lead. Portland got the equalizer about 40 minutes in when Minnesota’s keeper absolutely clattered into the back of Diego Valeri, got nowhere near the ball, and then tried to argue with ref Ted Unkel when he called a PK. Valeri made no mistake, and scored the spot kick.
