Xavier Arreaga vs. Zlatan Ibrahimoviu0107
Seattle’s 2-1 win over Portland was a breakout match for center back Arreaga, as the 24-year-old Ecuadorian put in a sterling performance against a dangerous Timbers attack. A cerebral, technical defender that can break lines with his passing, Arreaga was dominant in the air as Portland pumped 45 crosses into the box.
