PORTLAND, Ore. – For the first time since 2012 and for the fourth time in their history, the Portland Timbers are Cascadia Cup winners. Following a 2-1 victory over Vancouver Whitecaps FC Sunday at Providence Park, Portland found themselves atop the Cascadia Cup standings—a trophy created by the supporters of Portland, Vancouver and Seattle Sounders FC.
And in a nice twist, the Timbers’ game-winning goal came from a former Whitecaps FC player: forward Darren Mattocks.
“It’s massive,” he said of the victory following the match.
