BEAVERTON — Portland Timbers coach Caleb Porter put the team through a 70-minute scrimmage on Friday.
Porter divided the teams in a mix-and-match way, pitting most of the first-team offense against the first-team defense, and made changes at halftime. Players from T2 were mixed in, as the Timbers are missing five players who've been called up to their national teams.
The Timbers don't play this weekend because of the international window, and play on the road at Orlando City SC next Sunday.
"The big thing in these windows where you don't have a game is you've got to stay sharp," Porter said.
