The Seattle Sounders suffered their worst-ever home defeat to the Portland Timbers on Saturday, falling 3-0 to their southern rivals. Even more frustrating, it was the sixth straight time the Sounders failed to beat the Timbers at home, a streak that stretches back to 2017.
The Timbers got an early goal from Jaroslaw Niezgoda, but the Sounders had several golden chances to equalize even after Jackson Ragen was shown a second yellow card in the early moments of the second half. The Timbers put the game away with a couple of late goals, the first on a penalty and then on a breakaway a couple minutes later.
