Sunday’s regular season finale for the Portland Timbers ended like a lot of matches have Portland, but also opposite of a lot of them. The script stayed the same, but the actors were flipped. Instead of Portland scoring early and being the dominant team only to drop points at the end of the match, the Timbers got to be the squad scoring the late equalizer as Jorge Villafana hit the 90th minute header to make it 1-1 Portland.
Unfortunately, that didn’t help Portland’s playoff prospects. On a Decision Day where they needed the win and a loss from Sporting Kansas City to take first place, they only got a tie.
