MLS GAME INFORMATION

COLORADO RAPIDS vs PORTLAND TIMBERS DICK’S SPORTING GOODS PARK, Commerce City, Colo.

Sept. 13, 2014 (WEEK 27, MLS Game #262) 7 p.m. MT (Altitude; KPDX/Estrella) Two teams chasing what could be the final playoff position in the Western Conference meet in a crucial contest when the Colorado Rapids take on the Portland Timbers on Saturday evening at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. The Rapids are looking to put an end to their club-record losing slide, extended to seven games in a 6-0 loss at the LA Galaxy last weekend. The Timbers now find themselves two points outside the final playoff position in the division, following their last-gasp 3-3 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes at Providence Park last weekend. REFEREE: Drew Fischer. SAR (bench): Eric Boria; JAR (opposite): Jeremy Hanson; 4th: Younes Marrakchi MLS Career: 37 games; FC/gm: 26.4; Y/gm: 2.9; R: 3; pens: 11 SUSPENDED: COL: Joe Nasco (through Sept. 14) WARNINGS: SUSPENDED NEXT YELLOW CARD: COL: Thomas Piermayr … POR: Diego Chara, Will Johnson SUSPENDED AFTER TWO YELLOW CARDS: COL: Carlos Alvarez, Nick LaBrocca … POR: Norbetto Paparatto, Pa Modou Kah, Diego Valeri DISABLED LIST: none INTERNATIONAL ABSENCES: COL: Gabriel Torres (Panama, Copa Centroamericana) HEAD-TO-HEAD ALL-TIME (10 meetings): Rapids 5 wins, 15 goals … Timbers 4 wins, 10 goals … Ties 1 AT COLORADO (5 meetings): Rapids 4 wins, 13 goals … Timbers 0 wins, 3 goals … Ties 1 2014 (MLS): 3/22: COL 2, POR 0 (Sanchez 73; Brown 75) 7/18: POR 2, COL 1 (Urruti 72; Valeri 77 – Brown 16)

The teams are meeting for the third time this season. Maximiliano Urruti and Diego Valeri scored late second-half goals to pull the Timbers back for a 2-1 win July 18 at Providence Park; Vicente Sánchez converted a penalty kick and Deshorn Brown knocked home a rebound from a saved penalty two minutes apart as the Rapids took a 2-0 victory March 22 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.

The Rapids have never lost at home to Portland. They have won four of the five encounters all-time in Commerce City following the win this season.

The Timbers have won their last four home games in the series. The Rapids goal in the last meeting was their first in Portland in four visits, since their first-ever game in the Rose City in 2011.

The Rapids took the lead in the 16th minute. From a corner kick, a Drew Moor header was first saved by Portland goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts. A rebound was driven right back into the hands of the ‘keeper, but not secured and eventually bundled over the line by Deshorn Brown despite a last-ditch clearance attempt.

The Timbers pulled level in the 72nd minute through substitute Maximiliano Urruri. Capping off a beautiful team move, Jack Jewsbury was played in down the right by Will Johnson and sent in a cross for a charging Urruti to chip in at the near post.

Then, five minutes later, Diego Chara set up Diego Valeri in space from approximately 30 yards out for a fading blast that a diving Clint Irwin in the Colorado goal had no chance at saving.

PORTLAND TIMBERS (4-1-2-3): Donovan Ricketts - Michael Harrington, Danny O'Rourke, Liam Ridgewell, Jack Jewsbury - Will Johnson - Diego Valeri, Diego Chara - Darlington Nagbe (Rodney Wallace 92+), Fanendo Adi (Maximiliano Urruti 61), Steve Zakuani (Gaston Fernandez 61).

MLS GAME INFORMATION

COLORADO RAPIDS The Colorado Rapids had their losing skid stretched to seven games, going to a 6-0 defeat by the LA Galaxy last Friday evening at StubHub Center. The Rapids are in seventh place in the Western Conference with 30 points from 27 games. LAST MATCH

The game changed dramatically just 33 seconds into the game. Rapids goalkeeper Joe Nasco couldn’t take the ball off Alan Gordon’s feet on a low cross from the left, and he grabbed Gordon’s ankles, taking him down as he tried to shoot. Marc Burch cleared the ball off the line, but referee Baldomero Toledo whistled for a penalty kick and showed Nasco the red card – the fastest expulsion in MLS history.

Clint Irwin came on between the posts, and Landon Donovan chipped the resulting penalty kick easily up the middle to give LA a fifth-minute lead.

The score was 2-0 in the 30th minute. Marcelo Sarvas took a pass from Donovan well above the Rapids box, then played it forward for Gordon, who with the outside of his right foot sent it behind him and into the box where Baggio Husidic collected it and curled a shot past Irwin and inside the right post.

Gyasi Zardes made it 3-0 in first half stoppage time when he finished after Donovan redirected a Husidic pass into his path in Colorado’s box, and Donovan made it 4-0 two minutes into the second half, converting a second penalty of the contest after Chris Klute fouled Zardes in the box.

Zardes nodded home an Stefan Ishizaki cross to make the score 5-0 in the 75th minute. Husidic completed the rout by finishing off another well-worked team goal and slotting home in the 86th minute.

Rapids head coach Pablo Mastroeni made one change to the team that fell 1-0 to Seattle Sounders FC at CenturyLink Field. Jose Mari came into the midfield in place of Marlon Hairston.

COLORADO RAPIDS (4-4-1-1): Joe Nasco (ejected 1) - Christopher Klute, Thomas Piermayr, Marvell Wynne, Marc Burch - Deshorn Brown, Jose Mari, Nick LaBrocca (Marlon Hairston 52), Dillon Serna - Dillon Powers (Vicente Sanchez 53) - Edson Buddle.

TEAM NEWS The Rapids lost for a seventh consecutive match – the longest losing streak in the club’s 19-year history – in

the defeat at the LA Galaxy. The previous record was six games, set in 1997 and 2012. It was the fifth time in the team’s history they’ve conceded six goals or more in a game, the first since 2004 –

the third time the Galaxy have scored six-plus vs. Colorado. The club record is seven goals allowed in a 7-4 LA win in 1998.

“There was a decision made early that definitely flipped [the game] on its head,” Rapids head coach Pablo Mastroeni said. “I think it changed the whole landscape; the whole week, everything of the planning goes down the tubes and it’s about survival at that point. You’re down a goal; you’re down a man 30 seconds into a game and now you’re just trying to stay in it, stay organized.”

Joe Nasco was sent off in the first minute of the match, the earliest red card from the start of a match in MLS history. In 2009, New York Red Bulls defender Carlos Johnson was ejected in the second minute of a 1-0 loss to the Kansas City Wizards for the previous record.

“What I’ve learned [is] it’s not what happens to you but how you react to it, and I think there is a lot of learning to be done as to how we now deal with playing a man down, regardless of who we’re playing against, where we’re playing,” Mastroeni said. “That’s going to be the part that I really contemplate and revisit and prepare the group for the next situation where we’re a man down.”

The six-goal margin of defeat was the largest in Colorado club history, tied for the second-highest in MLS history and the worst loss suffered by any MLS team in five years.

“It’s a learning experience. It’s one game at the end of the day; it’s not the end of the world,” said forward Edson Buddle. “First-year players, second-year players are a little bit harder on themselves right now, but I’m here to let them know that it’s not the end of the road, it’s only one game. We have tomorrow and next week to get better.”

The Rapids conceded multiple goals for the fifth time in their seven-game losing slide. They have allowed 22 goals in the seven games, dating back to July 30.

The Rapids were also shut out at the attacking end for a second consecutive match, now 240 minutes since scoring their last goal. They were also shut out in back-to-back games July 30-Aug. 2 in losses to New England and Real Salt Lake.

José Mari returned to the lineup after a one-match absence, coming into the center of midfield. Dillon Serna was making his second consecutive start after missing a match, but he was sacrificed in the early minutes in favor of goalkeeper Clint Irwin after the Nasco sending-off.

“For a really young group there are a lot of guys that are seeking answers,” Mastroeni said. “The secret about life is that the answer comes from within; there is no guru that will give you the answer. There is a lot of reflection, self-analyzing and then someone in that group stepping up and putting the team on their back. That’s the only way you ever come to terms with situations like this. There is no secret. There is no guy you can bring in that’s going to change the landscape of everything.”

MLS GAME INFORMATION

PORTLAND TIMBERS The Portland Timbers performed another comeback to snatch a point, getting a late equalizer for a 3-3 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday evening at Providence Park. The Timbers are in sixth place in the Western Conference with 35 points from 27 games. LAST MATCH

The opening goal came in the 21st minute. Timbers’ keeper Donovan Ricketts saved the first shot from Shea Salinas, but he collected the rebound and fired off another shot that banged off the goalpost straight to Chris Wondolowski for an easy tap-in.

San Jose was opportunistic again in the 48th minute. Cordell Cato crossed to Wondolowski in the box. Timbers center back Pa Modou Kah’s clearance attempt in the direction of Ridgewell fell right back to Cato, and he slammed home from the right side of the box.

The Timbers pulled a goal back in the 54th minute when Diego Valeri chipped a perfect ball down the right to Alvas Powell, who brushed off two defenders and popped a shot into the upper far corner. The game was then tied 75th minute thanks to another brilliant feed by Valeri. He sent a cross across the goalmouth that Alhassan was unable to reach, but was ball was bundled across the line by Liam Ridgewell at the back post.

But the Quakes regained the lead in the 85th minute when Salinas floated a long cross from the left to an unmarked Wondolowski, who easily nodded home a clear header.

Yet a minute later, the Timbers had one more answer. Powell collected the ball to the right of the San Jose goal and played it back to Kalif Alhassan, and he stabbed home game-tying goal from the edge of the six-yard box.

Timbers head coach Caleb Porter made one change to the team that rolled to a 3-0 victory against Vancouver Whitecaps FC at BC Place. Gaston Fernandez came into the team with Rodney Wallace on international duty.

PORTLAND TIMBERS (4-1-2-3): Donovan Ricketts - Alvas Powell, Liam Ridgewell, Pa Modou Kah, Jorge Villafana - Will Johnson - Diego Chara, Gaston Fernandez (Kalif Alhassan 61) - Darlington Nagbe, Fanendo Adi (Maximiliano Urruti 71), Diego Valeri.

TEAM NEWS The Timbers took a total of 32 attempts at goal – the third-highest total in MLS history – in coming back for the

draw with San Jose. It was the 13th time this season the Timbers have gained at least one point after allowing the opening goal (4-6-9).

“The negative is that in getting 32 shots we probably could have scored 10 goals, realistically. I’m not joking. We scored three goals and it’s kind of ironic that we’re saying we didn’t do well enough in the finishing,” said Timbers head coach Caleb Porter. “For me the first 20 minutes we’ve got to find a goal. It was our best first 20 minutes of the year. Completely dominant, seven or eight clear chances. We were absolutely on top of them. We had complete grip on the game, and the first time they get a chance it’s a goal. A lot of positives, more than negatives, but we’ve got to do a bit better with our chances.”

The Timbers were also the first team to come back from two separate deficits of at least two goals this season to grab a result, also doing it in the 2-2 draw with FC Dallas on June 11.

“The positive is we came back from down two goals, came back from the death at 3-2. We are a mentally strong team to be able to do that. There are not many teams in the league that would be able to come back, to pull that out,” said Porter. “Those are positives. We are still in the fifth spot, playoff position. Those things can’t get lost in the shuffle of the craziness of the way this game played out and ultimately the disappointment in the fact that we got a draw instead of a win.”

Said Will Johnson: “We haven’t had problems scoring goals all year. It’s just that we sit here and feel that we’ve scored some good goals and gave up some bad ones.”

Alvas Powell scored his second MLS goal – both coming in the past two weeks – to give the Timbers early hope.

Diego Valeri contributed assists on all three Timbers goals, the seventh multiple-assist game of his MLS career and his second three-assist contest this year (also: June 1 vs. Vancouver). Valeri is now in a tie for second place in the league with 12 assists, after leading MLS with 13 assists a year ago.

“In professional soccer it’s hard to create chances. It’s maybe that hardest thing to do. So we could do that [today],” said Valeri. “We missed a lot of chances, but we scored three goals. It’s a strange feeling. We can’t win at home and that’s disappointing to me.”

Liam Ridgewell scored his second career MLS goal, both coming over the past four weeks. He has been ever-present in central defense over the last eight games.

“Obviously the three goals [conceded] are disappointing. It’s something we’ve got to work on going forward. Just one of those days,” Ridgewell said. “I think we had so many chances. We’ve got to be a little bit livelier and a little bit sharper when they’re looking to score. Just got to work on it.”

Kalif Alhassan scored his first league goal of the season, his first goal since last Oct. 13 when he netted against Seattle.

Page 16: MLS Game Guide | Colorado Rapids vs. Portland Timbers - Sept. 13, 2014

MATCH PREVIEW As the season winds down, the Rapids have seven games remaining in the season to move up two spots from seventh and qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs as one of the top five teams in the Western Conference. This Saturday, they face the Portland Timbers who currently occupy sixth spot. The teams are separated by five points, with Vancouver White-caps now in fifth, seven points clear of the Rapids, after their 2-0 home win over San Jose Earthquakes on Wednesday night. Against the Timbers, the Rapids own a 5-4-1 all-time record. In Colorado’s home opener, they defeated Portland 2-0, but went on to fall 2-1 at Providence Park in July. Now, in the midst of a club-record seven-game losing streak, Colorado are eager to capitalize on home-field advantage and end the slide. However, Portland are one of only two teams in MLS that has won more games on the road than at home (5-5-3 road record). Colorado are led in scoring by forward Deshorn Brown, who played 79 minutes for Jamaica on Tuesday against Canada, with eight goals. For the visitors, Argentinian forward Maximili-ano Urruti leads the club with nine goals. Portland tied their last match 3-3 with the San Jose in a dramatic back-and-forth match that at one point saw the Timbers down by two goals. The Rapids’ last match is one they’re likely trying to forget, dropping the worst loss in club history (6-0) to the Galaxy on Friday. PORTLAND CONNECTIONS Rapids forward Danny Mwanga spent the second half of the 2012 season with the Portland Timbers, playing in 18 match-es (seven starts) and scoring three goals before coming to the Colorado Rapids in 2013 in exchange for Colorado’s 2015 first round SuperDraft pick. Mwanga is currently on loan with the New York Cosmos of the NASL. INJURY UPDATE: O’NEILL BACK, BUDDLE OUT Rapids defender Shane O’Neill is hopeful to return to game action this weekend, having resumed full training and fitness last week after a knee injury had sidelined him since July 12. Vicente Sánchez will be unavailable this weekend, as he re-aggravated a knee injury during the Galaxy match on Sep-tember 5. Jared Watts continues rehab on a strained ham-string, while Drew Moor and Brian Mullan remain out with knee injuries.

INTERNATIONAL DUTY Rapids forward Deshorn Brown returns from international duty this week to be available on Saturday after making an appear-ance with the Jamaica national team. The Reggae Boyz fell 3-1 to Canada in a friendly on Tuesday evening, during which Brown played 79 minutes. Gabriel Torres was called upon by Panama to join the squad for the final group match of the Copa Centroamericana against Nicaragua on Wednesday. He came on as a sub and played the last 22 minutes of a 2-0 victory. Torres will be una-vailable for Saturday’s match against the Timbers. DONATE ITEMS FOR PASSBACK DRIVE On Saturday, Rapids fans are encouraged to bring new and gently used soccer gear to donate to the Noble Energy Soc-cer Equipment Passback drive. Accepted items include balls, cleats and shin guards. All items will benefit the Rodarte Community Center of Greeley. In return for their donation, fans will receive a $5 off coupon valid at the Rapids Team Store and Altitude Authentics kiosks. LOSING STREAK Colorado’s 6-0 loss against the Galaxy on September 5 set two club records, making it the biggest margin of loss in team history and extending the Rapids to a record seventh straight loss. The Rapids had twice previously lost six in a row, in 1997 and 2012. FASTEST RED CARD IN MLS In the September 5th match, Rapids goalkeeper Joe Nasco (making just his second MLS appearance) received the fast-est red card in MLS history with his expulsion in the 34th sec-ond of the match. MLSsoccer.com described the incident: “he was sent off… for denial of a goalscoring opportunity when he tripped up Alan Gordon as the Galaxy forward was attempting to poke the ball home during the LA's opening attack.” Nasco will be unavailable on Saturday as he serves an automatic suspension. BUDDLE SCORES #100 Edson Buddle’s 100th regular season goal came in the 17th minute of the match against his former team the LA Galaxy on August 20th. It was his seventh in a Rapids uniform and sec-ond of the 2014 MLS season, having also scored the game-winner in a 1-0 victory at Toronto FC on April 12. He became just the eighth player in MLS history to reach the milestone.

LAST MATCH RECAPMidfielder Diego Valeri tied an MLS career-high with three assists and the Tim-bers received second-half goals from defenders Alvas Powell, Liam Ridgewell and substitute midfielder Kalif Alhassan in a come-from-behind, 3-3 draw against the San Jose Earthquakes in front of a sold-out crowd of 20,814 at Providence Park on Sept. 7. The Timbers tallied the third-most shots in a single game in MLS history (32), and set MLS-club-record marks in shots on goal (13) and corner kicks (16) while consistently pressuring the San Jose defense. Maintaining nearly 58 percent of the possession in a dominant offensive performance, Portland attempted 19 shots in the first half, but conceded two goals against the run of play in the opening 48 minutes. Battling back from the two-goal deficit, Powell netted a goal in the 54th minute and Ridgewell tallied in the 74th minute to tie the score, 2-2. Midfielder Kalif Alhassan scored in the 86th minute after San Jose had taken the lead one minute earlier.

CATEGORICAL WON-LOST-TIED HEAD COACH CALEB PORTERHead coach Caleb Porter guided the Portland Timbers on a record-setting, turna-round season in 2013, his first season in MLS and as the club’s head coach. 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.

Porter was named the 2013 MLS Coach of the Year after leading Portland to a 14-5-15 (57pts) record, finishing the regular season in first place in the Western Conference and with the third-best record in the league – just two points shy of MLS Supporters’ Shield-winners New York Red Bulls. In 2013, the Timbers set new single-season club marks in points, wins, goals (54), goal differential (+21), shutouts (15) and fewest goals allowed (33).

Under Porter, the Timbers assembled one of the biggest turnaround seasons in MLS history in 2013. In comparison to Portland’s 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 are tied for the fewest in MLS history in a 34-game season. In 2013, the Timbers ranked third in MLS in goals scored and conceded the second-fewest goals at 33, giving the club a league-best, plus-21 goal differential. The club also led the league with 15 shutouts, tied for third-most in a single season in MLS history. During the regular season, the Timbers assembled one of the longest unbeaten streaks in MLS history at 15 games.

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. The club also set an MLS single-season record with 11 home shutouts. Among Porter’s achievements during the 2013 season, the club’s 57 points accrued are the most earned by a first-year head coach in MLS since the league’s inaugural season in 1996. Porter’s winning percentage (.632) in 2013 ranked among the best in league history for first-year MLS head coaches, and the Timbers’ 15-game unbeaten streak is the longest by an MLS head coach in his first full season at the helm.

Under Porter in 2013, Portland qualified for the MLS Cup Playoffs for the first time since joining the league in 2011. By defeating rival Seattle Sounders FC in the Western Conference Semifinal, the Tim-bers became just the fifth club in MLS history to reach the conference championship in their MLS Cup Playoff debut, and the first since Real Salt Lake in 2008. 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 semi-finals 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 from 2006-12. He compiled a career mark of 123-18-17 at Akron and owned the highest winning percentage (.832) among all active Division I coaches. Porter garnered numerous honors while at Akron, including 2009 NSCAA National Coach of the Year.

From Kalamazoo, Mich., Porter led the Zips to back-to-back NCAA College Cup appearances in 2009 and 2010, and the school’s first national title in any sport in 2010. In all, he guided Akron to seven Mid-American Conference (MAC) regular-season championships, five MAC tournament titles and five consecutive trips to the NCAA tournament’s Round of 16 (2008-12). Porter set multiple NCAA records while at Akron, including a 48-match, home unbeaten streak (44-0-4) from 2008-11 and a 47-match unbeaten streak (44-0-3) in conference play from 2006-12.

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 he spent three years as an assistant coach on the U.S. U-18 National Team from 2009-11. Prior to joining Akron, 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 playing career in 2000. Porter also played for the U.S. National B Team from 1996-97, winning a bronze medal at the 1997 World University Games.

He had a successful collegiate playing career at Indiana, where he was a three-year captain and a three-time All-Big Ten honoree. Porter led the Hoosiers to four conference titles, and four NCAA tourna-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.

PORTLAND TIMBERS AT COLORADO RAPIDSSATURDAY, SEPT. 13, 2014

SCOUTING THE RAPIDSAfter starting the season with just four losses in their first 14 matches, the Rap-ids have hit a rough patch, losing seven consecutive games since July 30. Head coach Pablo Mastroeni’s squad is 1-8-1 over the last 10 matches, including a 2-1 loss against the Timbers on July 18 at Providence Park. Despite the skid, the Rapids are five points behind Portland for fifth place in the Western Confer-ence standings with seven games remaining on the schedule. Forward Deshorn Brown leads the Rapids with eight goals, while midfielder Dillon Powers has registered four goals and a team-high eight assists. Goalkeeper Clint Irwin has logged a 7-11-4 record with seven shutouts in 22 games.

TIMBERS INJURY REPORTOUT: None; QUESTIONABLE: None* - As of Sept. 10, 2014

LONG DISTANCEPortland leads MLS with 11 goals from outside the penalty box this season, edging out Vancouver (10). Midfielder Diego Valeri ranks tied for second in the league in goals from distance (4), while forward Maximiliano Urruti has scored three goals from outside the box.

HITTING THE WOODWORK

With midfielder Diego Valeri striking the crossbar with a shot in the 11th minute on Aug. 24 against Seattle Sounders FC, the Timbers are tied for the league lead with 15 shots that have hit the frame this season. Toronto FC also has hit the woodwork 15 times.

ON THE BOARD FIRSTUnder the guidance of head coach Caleb Porter, the Timbers are 16-2-8 overall when scoring first since the start of the 2013 MLS season.

STRONG FINISHPortland leads MLS with the most goals scored in the final 15 minutes of matches (15) and ranks first for the most second-half goals scored (31).

SCORING RATE

Entering the week, the Timbers have scored 47 goals through 27 matches, the third-best mark in MLS. Portland is on track to score 59 goals this season, which would eclipse the single-season team record (54) set during an impres-sive 2013 campaign for the club. The Timbers currently rank third in MLS with a rate of one goal scored per 51.70 minutes. Only the LA Galaxy (43.33) and Seattle Sounders FC (48.75) have a faster scoring rate this season.

ROAD FORMOnly two teams have registered more wins on the road than the Timbers this season. Portland has logged a 5-5-3 road record in 2014 and is one of just five teams with a .500 or better record away from home.

CREATING OPPORTUNITIESThe Timbers rank second in MLS with 291 chances created this season, ac-cording to Opta. Saturday’s opponent, the Colorado Rapids, rank third with 286 chances created, while the LA Galaxy lead the league with 343 chances created.

UPCOMING MILESTONES

Midfielder/forward Darlington Nagbe’s next appearance will be the 121st of his Timbers MLS career, moving him one game shy of eighth place on the Timbers all-time appearances list across all eras with former NASL Timbers defender Graham Day (122) and three matches shy of tying Timbers general manager Gavin Wilkinson in seventh place (124).

With his next goal, forward Maximiliano Urruti will tie the Timbers MLS single-season record for goals (10), set in 2013 by midfielder Diego Valeri. Urruti has tallied a team-leading nine goals this season, including one in a 3-0 win over Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Aug. 30.

Midfielder Diego Valeri is one assist shy of tying his own Timbers MLS single-season record of 13 assists set in 2013. Valeri is two assists short of tying the all-time Timbers single-season assists record (14), set in 1980 by Ring of Honor member John Bain.

MASTERFUL

Midfielder Diego Valeri has tallied at least one point in seven on the last 10 reg-ular-season matches, including a three-assist performance on Sept. 7 against San Jose. Valeri is the first Timbers MLS player to record 10 or more assists in consecutive seasons, as well as being the second Timbers player in all eras to notch 12 or more assists in consecutive seasons since Timbers Ring of Honor member John Bain (14 in 1980, 12 in 1981). Against the Earthquakes, Valeri set the league’s season-high mark with 12 chances created, according to Opta. Valeri leads MLS with 83 chances created, one more than Landon Donovan. Valeri’s total of 59 points (17g, 25a) over the last two seasons currently ranks fourth all-time in Timbers history for most points in a two-year span. Bain holds the record with 69 points (23g, 23a) from 1981-1982.

SHOTS, SHOTS, SHOTS

Through the 2014 season, the Timbers ranks second in the league with five games in which the team has attempted 20 or more shots. Only the LA Galaxy (7) has attempted 20-plus shots more times this season. Portland is the only team in MLS that has attempted 30 or more shots twice this season. The Tim-bers’ 32 shots on Sept. 7 against San Jose ranks as the third-most in a single game in MLS history. Portland ranks fourth in MLS in shooting accuracy (49.14 percent), while also placing fourth in shots on target (143).

NEVER OUT OF IT

Despite conceding the opening goal in 19 matches this season, the Timbers have battled back for a result in 13 games for a league-best 4-6-9 record when allowing the first goal. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Timbers are the only team to overcome multiple two-goal deficits this season to earn a positive result (draw or win).

GLOBETROTTER

Defender Alvas Powell’s first three career goals in all competitions for the Timbers have each come in a different country (Aug. 19 in Guyana, Aug. 30 in Canada and Sept. 7 in the United States).

DIVERSITY

The Timbers have received goals from 13 different active players during the regular season, which leads MLS alongside Philadelphia and Colorado. Portland leads the league with six players who have scored five or more goals this season.

THREE-ASSIST GAMESSince 2011, the Timbers have received three-assist performances from mid-fielders Diego Valeri and Rodney Wallace. Both of Valeri’s three-assist perfor-mances have come in 2014 (June 1 vs. Vancouver, Sept. 7 vs. San Jose), while Wallace logged three assists on June 23, 2013, in a 3-0 win over Colorado.
