A critical contest in the MLS Cup Playoffs race is ahead when the Portland Timbers entertain Sporting Kansas City at Providence Park on Wednesday evening. The teams come into the game tied on 40 points, deadlocked for fifth place and the final two postseason positions – but hold just a two-point margin over seventh-place San Jose. The Timbers saw their four-game undefeated streak come to an end last time out in a 2-1 loss at arch-rivals Seattle Sounders FC, while Sporting lost their third game in a row, falling 2-1 at the Colorado Rapids in their last contest.

The teams are meeting for the second time this season. They reached a scoreless draw March 21 at Sporting Park.

The road team has won three of the six meetings all-time in the series, including a 1-0 Sporting victory last year at Providence Park, the last meeting in Portland.

The Timbers have come away with points on each of their last two visits to Sporting Park. The Timbers also won a fifth-round match in the U.S. Open Cup last year in Kansas City.

Sporting had the better chances on the night, but failed to put them on target -- center back Ike Opara twice sending headers off the mark, and fullback Jalil Anibaba also flashing a header over the goal.

Timbers goalkeeper Adam Kwarasey was credited with two saves for his second clean sheet of the young season, while SKC goalkeeper Luis Marin made three saves, the best in the 62nd minute when he stopped an effort from Fanendo Adi.

PORTLAND TIMBERS The Portland Timbers saw their undefeated run put to an after four games, falling 2-1 to Seattle Sounders FC on Sunday afternoon at CenturyLink Field. The Timbers are in a tie for fifth place in the Western Conference with 40 points from 27 matches. LAST MATCH

Sounders FC got the quick start they were looking for in the sixth minute after the Timbers backline failed to clear a loose ball out of their penalty area. The ball fell to Obafemi Martins, who calmly slotted his attempt past Portland goalkeeper Adam Kwarasey.

Sounders then doubled the lead just before halftime. After Martins collided with Kwarasey in the box after touching a long pass from Mears past the goalkeeper, referee Alan Kelly pointed to the spot. Brad Evans then stepped up and converted the penalty, driving it low inside the left post.


The Timbers cut the lead in half in the 58th minute, after a corner kick from Diego Valeri found Jack Jewsbury in front of goal, and he swept the ball into the goal first-time, but they could get no closer.

Timbers head coach Caleb Porter made three changes to the team that came back for a late 2-2 draw with the Houston Dynamo at Providence Park. George Fochive and Jack Jewsbury came into the deep-lying midfield roles for Will Johnson and the suspended Diego Chara, and Fanendo Adi came into the side for Rodney Wallace.

PORTLAND TIMBERS (4-2-3-1): Adam Kwarasey - Alvas Powell, Nat Borchers, Liam Ridgewell, Jorge Villafana (Rodney Wallace 83) - George Fochive (Dairon Asprilla 78), Jack Jewsbury - Darlington Nagbe, Diego Valeri, Lucas Melano (Maximiliano Urruti 83) - Fanendo Adi.

TEAM NEWS The Timbers had their four-game undefeated run put to an end with the Sounders FC defeat, their first loss

since July 25. “We need to continue this positive play. We have seven games to go and our next three of four are at home. If

we take care of business at home, we’re going to be in a good spot. We can’t get frustrated,” said Timbers head coach Caleb Porter. “ … This game can be cruel, but I’ve learned over time, it comes back around. It’ll come back around in our favor here in the next seven games and even out.”

Said midfielder Jack Jewsbury: “I think everyone in this locker room knows we played well. If it was the other way around maybe we would want to erase it but when you play well and things just don’t go your way then it is easy to pick yourself up for the next game.”

Diego Valeri collected an assist for a third consecutive game, putting in the corner kick service for the lone Timbers goal. Valeri now has six assists on the season.

Jewsbury scored his third goal of the season, after going the previous two seasons without a single goal in league play. The three goals match his most in a single season in MLS since scoring a career-high seven goals in 2011, his first season in Portland.

“I think we’ve got very capable people on the front four and five that are going to continue to create chances. If we were not creating chances then I think we would be worrying about things but when you go on the road in a tough place to play in a rivalry game and create as many chances as we did then we are not worried about it at all,” Jewsbury said. “Yes, we would love to finish a few more of them and get out of here with three points.”

Jewsbury was making his first start since July 25, having played a total of five minutes in the previous four matches. George Fochive completed the deep-lying central midfield axis with his league appearance for the Timbers since May 30.

Fanendo Adi returned to the starting lineup for the first time in three matches, since Aug. 7, coming into the lone out-and-out striker role and playing the full 90 minutes.

After playing the previous two matches as the spearhead in the attack, Lucas Melano shifted back to an attacking wide role, playing 83 minutes.

“I think there will be a few guys that are disappointed about that finishing touch, but if you keep getting chances, you’re going to score goals. I’ve seen that. It doesn’t matter who is in those situations, you’re eventually going to find goals. It’s a bit unfortunate,” Porter said.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City suffered their third consecutive defeat, falling 2-1 to the Colorado Rapids on Saturday evening at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Sporting are in a tie for fifth place in the Western Conference with 40 points from 25 matches. LAST MATCH

Sporting took the lead in the in the 47th minute. A dribble into the penalty area by Krisztian Nemeth drew defenders before he sent the ball to the feet of striker Dom Dwyer, who buried it from close range.

Six minutes later, Colorado leveled the score. Vicente Sanchez dribbled the ball along the right edge of the SKC box, before sending a pass across that found Maynor Figueroa on the opposite side. Figueroa had time and space to place his strike well inside the far post.

The game-winner came in the 75th minute. Sanchez worked his way down the right flank before finding Kevin Doyle in the heart of the box with a well-weighted cross, and he powered home a header past goalkeeper Tim Melia.

SKC manager Peter Vermes made four changes to the team that fell 3-2 to Columbus Crew SC at Mapfre Stadium. Chance Myers and Seth Sinovic came in at fullback in place of Saad Abdul-Salaam and Jimmy Medranda, and Benny Feilhaber and Krisztian Nemeth came back into the team in place of Jacob Peterson and Marcel de Jong.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Tim Melia - Chance Myers (Saad Abdul-Salaam 24), Kevin Ellis, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic - Benny Feilhaber - Mikey Lopez (Jordi Quintilla 77), Paulo Nagamura - Graham Zusi (Jacob Peterson 84), Dom Dwyer, Krisztian Nemeth.


TEAM NEWS Sporting suffered their third consecutive defeat in the loss at Colorado, the first time this season they’ve lost

three games in a row, and their longest losing slide since Aug. 23-Sept. 6 of last season, when they dropped four in a row.

Sporting also conceded multiple goals for a fourth consecutive match, having allowed 13 goals in that time (dating back to Aug. 15); they had allowed 10 goals total over their previous 13 league matches (with six shutouts).

“It is not us getting beat,” SKC manager Peter Vermes said. “It is other teams getting life by getting goals that they shouldn't be allowed. That's the issue. That's the issue. My team's effort was fantastic, for everything that we've been going through. My team's effort was fantastic in the game.”

Dom Dwyer scored his ninth goal of the season, his first since Aug. 15 but his fourth goal over the last seven matches.

“It was a good all-around goal. Benny [Feilhaber] found Krisztian who beat his man before playing me a great ball,” Dwyer said. “I'm obviously disappointed we lost. That's what is most important.’

Krisztian Nemeth returned to the first XI after a one-match absence and was credited with the assist on the lone KC goal, his sixth assist of the season. Nemeth has a goal and two assists over the last five matches.

Seth Sinovic made his first start since May 10, coming in at left back and playing the full 90 minutes. Sinovic had missed the previous 15 league matches while dealing with concussion.

Jordi Quintilla made his MLS and Sporting debut, coming into a central midfield role and playing the final 13 minutes.

LAST MATCH RECAPDespite controlling the majority of the match and registering a 20-6 advantage in total shots, including a 6-3 edge in shots on goal, the Portland Timbers could not overcome a two-goal, first-half deficit in a 2-1 loss against Cascadia-rival Seattle Sounders FC on Aug. 30 before 64,358 fans at CenturyLink Field in Seattle. Trailing 2-0 at halftime, midfielder Jack Jewsbury cut the deficit in half with a goal in the 58th minute, converting a corner kick from midfielder Diego Valeri inside the goal box with a right-footed effort. The goal marked Jewsbury’s third of the season, while Valeri registered an assist in a third consecutive match.

CATEGORICAL WON-LOST-TIED HEAD COACH CALEB PORTERHead coach Caleb Porter enters his third season with the club in 2015 after guiding the Portland Timbers to record-setting campaigns in his first two years in MLS. Guiding the team to an impressive turnaround season and the club’s first-ever MLS postseason appearance in 2013, Porter helped direct a record-setting offense in 2014 as the Timbers netted 61 regular-season goals, a club record across all eras.

He was announced as the Timbers head coach on Aug. 29, 2012, and joined the club ahead of the 2013 MLS campaign. Porter received the Slats Gill Award for Sportsperson of the Year at the Oregon Sports Awards on March 9, 2014, becoming the fourth soccer-related figure to receive the award since it was founded in 1957. On Aug. 6, 2014, Porter helped guide the MLS All-Stars to a 2-1 win over German power Bayern Munich in the 2014 AT&T MLS All-Star Game at Providence Park in Portland.

The 2013 MLS Coach of the Year award winner, Porter has compiled one of the league’s top winning percentages among active MLS head coaches with a 37-23-35 mark (.574) after leading Portland to double-digits wins in each of his first two seasons. Under Porter’s guidance, the Timbers have made Providence Park one of the toughest places to play in the league, registering an impressive regular-season mark of 23-5-19 at Providence Park over the last two-plus seasons. In 2014, the Timbers netted a team-record 61 goals while compiling one of the highest point totals (44) across the final two-thirds of the regular season – recording the highest goal differential (plus-9) of any non-playoff team in MLS history. Portland also made its first appearance in CONCACAF Champions League, contesting matches against Alpha United of Guyana and C.D. Olimpia of Honduras during the competition’s group stage.

During Porter’s first season as head coach in 2013, the Timbers assembled one of the biggest turna-round seasons in MLS. In comparison to 2012 totals, the Timbers assembled a 23-point improvement in points and an MLS-record 43-goal improvement in goal differential. Portland’s five losses during the 2013 regular season tied for the fewest in MLS history in a 34-game season and the Timbers led the league with 15 shutouts. The Timbers recorded a 15-game, home unbeaten streak during the 2013 regular season, posting a league-best 11-1-5 home record at Providence Park and an MLS single-season record 11 home shutouts. In 2013, Portland qualified for the MLS Cup Playoffs for the first time since joining the league in 2011. Additionally, the Timbers made their deepest run in club history in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in 2013 under Porter’s guidance, reaching the semifinals of the tournament.

Prior to joining the Timbers, Porter was one of the most successful coaches in NCAA history during his tenure as head coach at the University of Akron (2006-12). He compiled a career mark of 123-18-17 and was named 2009 NSCAA National Coach of the Year. Porter led the Zips to back-to-back NCAA Col-lege Cup appearances (2009, 2010) and the school’s first national title in any sport in 2010.

Porter’s coaching career also includes time as the head coach of the U.S. U-23 Men’s National Team during 2012 CONCACAF Olympic qualifying and three years as an assistant coach on the U.S. U-18 National Team (2009-11). Porter was an assistant coach for six years (2000-05) at Indiana University.

As a player, Porter was the 27th overall pick by the San Jose Clash in the 1998 MLS College Draft. He spent time with San Jose and the Tampa Bay Mutiny before a knee injury ended his professional play-ing career in 2000. He also played for the U.S. National B Team from 1996-97, winning a bronze medal at the 1997 World University Games. As a player at Indiana, he was a three-year captain and led the Hoosiers to four conference titles. Porter was the runner-up for the 1997 Hermann Trophy.

Porter graduated from Indiana in 1998 with a degree in sports management. He and his wife, Andrea, have three children – two sons, Colin and Jake, and a daughter, Stella.ment appearances. As a senior, Porter captained IU to 23 consecutive wins before losing to eventual national champion UCLA in the national semifinals and was the runner-up for the 1997 Hermann Trophy.
