Welcome back to the forecast!
Last week, the Portland Timbers (with a little help from VAR) took care of business against the Colorado Rapids with a 2-0 home win. Jeremy Ebobisse got his first start of 2018 and opened the scoring just before half time, after a questionable offside call kept him off the board earlier in the match. After halftime, the Rapids thought they had the chance to equalize when the referee called a penalty in their favor, only to have it called off by VAR. Shortly after, Diego Valeri scored the Timbers’ second goal to put the match away.
