Late Own Goal Gains Road Draw For Hoops; Timbers Unbeaten Run Now At Ten Games

 At Providence Park, Portland, Oregon:

Diego Chara's own goal on literally the final play of the game (90'+10) lifted FC Dallas to a bizarre 1-1 home draw with the Portland Timbers in Saturday night Major League Soccer action.

Earlier in second-half stoppage time, after Dallas' Matt Hedges was yellow-carded for a handball foul in his club's penalty area, Hoops goalkeeper Maarten Paes saved Marvin Loria's penalty kick, but Marvelous Marvin took the rebound and put the Timbers on the scoreboard (90'+6)

The Timbers, whose unbeaten run has now stretched to ten games, and who now occupy the Western Conference's final playoff berth, will visit Toronto FC on Saturday at 4:30 PM Pacific Time (ROOT Sports Northwest/ESPN+/KXTG Radio-750 AM, Portland)

Hoops Too Much For Timbers

 At Frisco, Texas:

Andres Ricaurte (2'), Jader Obrian (13'), Bressan (45'+3), and Dante Sealy (85') each scored a goal on Saturday night as FC Dallas dominated the visiting Portland Timbers 4-1 in Major League Soccer action.

Eryk Williamson scored the Timbers' lone goal in the 62nd minute.

A tough night for Portland's 19 year-old goalkeeper Hunter Sulte as he surrendered three first-half goals in his first MLS start.

The Timbers will now concentrate on Mexico's Club America as they will travel to Mexico City for the second game of their CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal-round series (currently at 1-1 on aggregate), set to kick off this coming Wednesday at 7:15 PM Pacific Time (Fox Sports 1/TUDN).
