The Portland Timbers found another way to drop a result on Sunday. In Los Angeles to open the season the Timbers couldn’t escape a first-half hole. In New Jersey they chose the comprehensive meltdown approach to losing. In Dallas it was the right the ship, bunker, and be happy with a point routine. In Chicago the Timbers burst out to two one-goal leads only to cough up both.
And on Sunday in Orlando, the Timbers dominated 75 minutes of the game, had a comfortable multi-goal lead, and still found a way to lose. Mind you, they had some help.
