PORTLAND, Ore. -- Renzo Zambrano is in the middle of his third year in Portland, one that’s seen him make his first major impact on the Timbers’ Major League Soccer squad.
A key part of the organization’s USL team, Timbers 2, from the middle of 2017 on, the Venezuelan international has worked his way into contention at the next level, earning five MLS starts since his league debut in Houston on May 15. Having made two other appearances in U.S. Open Cup, Zambrano has been a valuable piece as head coach Giovanni Savarese manages a congested summer.
