The Seattle Sounders got a first-half equalizer from Kelvin Leerdam, but Felipe Mora scored the game-winner in the 83rd minute and the Rave Green fell 2-1 to the Portland Timbers in the Cascadia rivalry bout between the sides at CenturyLink Field on Sunday.

Leerdam scored a screamer for Seattle in the first half after Portland’s Eryk Williamson found an early opener, but Mora’s late winner would send the Sounders to their first defeat since the MLS restart.

After losing star midfielder Sebastian Blanco to an injury shortly after kickoff, Portland grabbed the opener in the 9th minute as Williamson slid behind the back line and slotted home a feed from Diego Valeri.
