USL MATCH RECAP | Portland Timbers 2: 1, Orange County SC: 2

PORTLAND, Ore. – Playing the first of a two-match home stand, T2 fell 2-1 to Orange County SC at Providence Park on Saturday night.

After Orange County SC (2-1-0, 6pts) took the early lead in the ninth minute from a converted penalty kick attempt in the ninth minute, T2 (0-4-0, 0pts) equalized in the 19th minute. Defender Kyle Bjornethun sent in a cross from the left flank that forward Augustine Williams headed into back of the net from inside the six-yard box to record his second goal of the 2017 USL season.

Continuing to apply pressure in the first half, Williams delivered a cross just outside the six-yard box that picked out midfielder Neco Brett, and his acrobatic effort was saved by goalkeeper Charlie Lyon in the 32nd minute.
