Portland Timbers 2 concluded its two-game homestand on Saturday with a disappointing 4-2 defeat to the Oklahoma City Energy on Friday night.
Between a win in its last game against New Mexico United and scoring in the opening five minutes against OKC, T2 looked to be flying. Add on top of all that the quality of recent goals, and it seemed as if T2 was ready to begin its climb back up the table. Instead, it all fell apart before the hour mark as T2 suffered another eye-opening defeat.
Gio Calixtro and Ryan Sierakowski found the back of the net for T2, but it was OKC’s Christian Eissele that stole the show on Friday night — scoring a brace — as T2 shipped its most goals since an end of June matchup against Phoenix Rising.
