Welcome back to the Forecast! And it really is an excited welcome! The Timbers won!
If you thought it was a dream, like I did, rest assured: it was not. Your Portland Timbers really did travel to Ohio, face off against their former coach, and walk away with three goals and three points! Early on, the Timbers just managed to avoid conceding first after a bad Jeff Attinella clearance gifted Federico Higuain with a chance at a near-open net. But Higuain rushed the shot and it went wide, keeping the Columbus Crew scoreless.
