LAFC gives up late goal in 2-1 loss to Timbers

Samuel Armenteros scored his first MLS goal in the 81st minute and the Portland Timbers won their fifth consecutive game with a 2-1 victory over Los Angeles FC on Saturday.

Carlos Vela tied the match for LAFC in the 74th minute after Cristhian Paredes scored for the Timbers to open the second half.

The Timbers (5-3-2) are 4-0 at home after starting the season winless for five straight matches on the road because of construction at Providence Park.

The Timbers broke through with Paredes' goal in the 52nd minute, which came on a rebound of Diego Valeri's free kick.
