While it was a bit nervy at the end, the Timbers extended their unbeaten run to 13 matches across all competitions by beating the San Jose Earthquakes 2-1. Now they must face a red-hot LAFC, who are unbeaten in their last five — including a 4-1 drubbing of one of the most hapless teams in MLS, Orlando City.
The Timbers will travel to the City of Angels to make their first appearance at Banc of California stadium. The last time the Timbers and LAFC met was back on May 19th, when the Timbers would get the win 2-1.
