The Portland Timbers have to have had just about enough of Fredy Montero. The Colombian forward, who returned to the Seattle Sounders this season after departing in 2012, scored the match-winner as a second-half substitute on Sunday in a 2-1 win at Providence Park.
The goal was Montero’s seventh MLS regular-season goal all time against Portland, including his fifth with Seattle. He also bagged two for fellow Cascadia rival the Vancouver Whitecaps where he spent three of the last four seasons.
“We’ve had Clint Dempsey, we’ve had Fredy Montero, now we have Raúl [Ruidíaz],” said Sounders Head Coach Brian Schmetzer.
