The MLS playoff picture grew a little clearer this weekend, with less than a month of the regular season left to play.
The Portland Timbers took a huge step towards reaching the post-season with a dramatic 2-1 win over Western Conference rivals Sporting Kansas City.
Benny Feilhaber had given the away side the lead in the 65th minute and they appeared on course to snatch the win which would have seen them drawn level on points with their opponents, but it was not to be. The Timbers kept up the pressure and eventually drew level seven minutes from time.
