MLS teams had a very good start to the Scotiabank Concacaf Champions League tournament. A 3-2-0 (W-D-L) record across the board? Multiple goal victories and away goals abound? Regardless of whether or not it’s a trend or just a lucky first leg, the results are undoubtedly positive.
The Portland Timbers are not excluded from the positivity by any means. Their 2-2 draw against CD Marathon in the first leg of the CCL was very good all things considered. They went to Honduras and dominated for most of the game, and they came out in as good a position as anyone could ask for on their way home to Providence Park.
