BEAVERTON, Ore. – Cristian Ojeda was a late arrival for Timbers 2 this year, moving from Atlético Talleres in his home country, Argentina, just before the United Soccer League season. Though his acquisition was announced on March 1, it took Ojeda longer to relocate from South American and settle into his new home. It was March 30 before the midfielder was able to make his USL debut.
Five months later, Ojeda has secured regular playing time in the T2 lineup, upping his season totals to three goals and three assists in 21 games after the team’s 3-1 weekend win at Reno 1868 FC.
