MLS GAME INFORMATION

PORTLAND TIMBERS vs COLUMBUS CREW PROVIDENCE PARK, Portland, Ore.

May 17, 2014 (WEEK 11, MLS Game #101) 7:30 p.m. PT (ROOT-NW; TWCSN-OH) Two teams in need of a victory come together at Providence Park on Saturday evening when the Portland Timbers play host to the Columbus Crew. The Timbers are still at the foot of the Western Conference after stretching their undefeated streak to three games with a last-gasp 1-1 draw with the LA Galaxy last weekend. The Crew have now gone seven games without a win, following their third consecutive loss, a 1-0 home defeat by Vancouver last weekend. REFEREE: Jose Carlos Rivero. AR1 (bench): Fabio Tovar; AR2 (opposite): Jeremy Hanson; 4th: Allen Chapman MLS Career: 23 games; FC/gm: 27.2; Y/gm: 3.6; R: 6; pens: 11 SUSPENDED: none WARNINGS: SUSPENDED NEXT YELLOW CARD: CLB: Tony Tchani, Wil Trapp SUSPENDED AFTER TWO YELLOW CARDS: POR: Norbetto Paparetto, Diego Chara … CLB: Federico Higuain DISABLED LIST: CLB: Matthew Wiet INTERNATIONAL ABSENCES: CLB: Michael Parkhurst (USA); Waylon Francis (CRC) HEAD-TO-HEAD ALL-TIME (4 meetings): Timbers 1 win, 1 goal … Crew 2 wins, 2 goals … Ties 1 AT PORTLAND (2 meetings): Timbers 1 win, 1 goal … Crew 0 wins, 0 goals … Ties 1 LAST YEAR (MLS): 7/7: CLB 1, POR 0 (Anor 5)

This is the only league meeting between the teams this season. The Crew have won both meetings all-time in Columbus, both by 1-0 scorelines, including a victory in the only

matchup a season ago, July 7 at Crew Stadium. The teams played to a scoreless draw in 2012 in the last meeting in Portland; the Timbers won 1-0 in 2011 in

the first encounter ever between the clubs. Coaches record: Caleb Porter vs. CLB: P1 W0 L1 D0 … Gregg Berhalter vs. POR: first game

PORTLAND TIMBERS The Portland Timbers extended their undefeated run to three games with more late dramatics, hitting for a late equalizer for a 1-1 draw with the LA Galaxy on Sunday afternoon at Providence Park. The Timbers are in a tie for seventh place in the Western Conference with 9 points from 10 games. LAST MATCH

The Galaxy took the lead two minutes into second-half stoppage time when a long throw-in from Dan Gargan somehow traveled all the way to an unmarked Robbie Keane all alone in front of goal.

But the Timbers hit for an equally improbable equalizer three minutes later. Will Johnson somehow found Diego Valeri with a back heel in the penalty area, and his shot from the right side rolled just under Galaxy goalkeeper Jaime Penedo to send the sell-out crowd into a frenzy.

Timbers head coach Caleb Porter made no changes to the team that grabbed a late 3-2 win against D.C. United at Providence Park.

PORTLAND TIMBERS (4-2-1-3): Donovan Ricketts - Jack Jewsbury, Pa Modou Kah, Mamadou Danso, Michael Harrington (Alvas Powell 5) - Diego Chara (Ben Zemanski 68), Will Johnson - Diego Valeri, - Darlington Nagbe, Gaston Fernandez (Maximiliano Urruti 76), Steve Zakuani.

TEAM NEWS While the Timbers weren’t able to build upon their first victory of 2014, they did extend their undefeated run to

two draws and the victory. They have lost once in their last six matches. "The season’s not done, but we’re running out of time by not getting three points in this type of game,” Timbers

head coach Caleb Porter said. “ ... “We do keep slowly moving up, but we’re running out of time and we need to pick it up and change that trend. It’s time to change it otherwise we’re not going to be the team we want to be at the end of the year.”

The Timbers have conceded five of their 16 goals this season through crosses, third-most in MLS behind Chicago and FC Dallas (six each). Portland has also allowed two goals from corner kicks.

“Sounding like a broken record after games because most of the goals we’ve given up are simple crosses and guys running through to head the ball in, and at this level it’s unacceptable to give up those types of goals,”

MLS GAME INFORMATION

said Porter. “I always believed we’d get the goal, disappointing thing is we gave up the goal which meant, when we did find the goal, it was one point instead of three points.”

The Timbers scored for a third time in second-half stoppage time – and for the second consecutive game. The match before, Portland defeated D.C. United with an added-time winner; they opened the season with a 1-1 draw with Chicago where the equalizer came in stoppage time.

Diego Valeri scored his second goal of the season, his first coming on April 5 vs. Seattle. Valeri has a goal and two assists in his last two matches.

Will Johnson recorded his first assist of 2014 on the late game-winner; he has one goal this season, scored on April 12.

The Timbers were forced into two injury substitutions, with both Michael Harrington and Diego Chará having to come off.

“I wanted Alvas [Powell] to play more like a winger,” said Porter. “We were a little bit handicapped because we had some injury subs that we had to make so I wanted to have the same shape I had late in the last game, but we had to do it in a different way with Alvas being more of a winger and Darlington [Nagbe] was up with Maxi and [Diego] Valeri underneath. Valeri just naturally floats to the right a bit.”

The Timbers made a significant addition heading into the Columbus match, signing striker Fanendo Adi on loan from Denmark’s FC Copenhagen. Adi scored three goals in in nine league matches for FC Copenhagen during the 2013-14 Danish Super Ligaen, and also featured in three group-stage matches during the 2013-14 UEFA Champions League.

“Adi gives us another striker piece to further strengthen our roster,” Porter said. “His air play and ability to hold the ball as more of a target option will complement the qualities of our other players while providing a different dimension to our attack.”

COLUMBUS CREW The Columbus Crew saw their winless, losing and shutout streaks extended, falling 1-0 to Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Saturday evening at Crew Stadium. The Crew are in sixth place in the Eastern Conference, with 12 points from 10 matches. LAST MATCH

The game's lone goal came in the 37th minute. From a free kick by goalkeeper David Ousted just outside the Whitecaps FC penalty area, Erik Hurtado controlled the long service, turned left into space and unleashed a perfectly placed drive that left goalkeeper Steve Clark with no chance.

Ousted was credited with two saves in recording the clean sheet, in addition to gaining an assist on the goal. Crew head coach Gregg Berhalter made two changes to the team that fell 1-0 to the Houston Dynamo at BBVA

Compass Stadium. Wil Trapp came back into the midfield for Agustin Viana, and Hector Jimenez also returned to the side in place of Dominic Oduro.

COLUMBUS CREW (4-2-3-1): Steve Clark - Josh Williams (Ethan Finlay 77), Michael Parkhurst, Giancarlo Gonzalez, Waylon Francis - Tony Tchani, Wil Trapp - Hector Jimenez (Dominic Oduro 63), Federico Higuain, Bernardo Anor (Justin Meram 46) - Jairo Arrieta.

TEAM NEWS The Crew had their goalless streak extended to 321 minutes – the fourth-longest in club history. It was a third

consecutive shutout and fourth of the season; the Crew have scored three goals in seven games since opening the season with seven goals in their first three.

“I think you need a certain explosiveness, dynamic and certain poise in front of the goal to capitalize on your opportunities. I think there are times in the first half when we were in crossing position and it ends up a counter attack for the other team,” said Crew head coach Gregg Berhalter. “We’re going to look at that and analyze that, but certainly we’ve got to get better at that aspect of the game around the goal, and we’ve got to get better.”

While Berhalter made two changes from the team that lost in Houston at midweek, he still had used just 14 starters through the first 10 games of the season – and two (Justin Meram and Agustin Viana) had started just once.

"The guys are running on fumes. ... The guys gave it everything they had and unfortunately that wasn’t enough,” said Berhalter. “If I’m critical of anything, it’s my team selection, not rotating more guys and getting some fresh legs in there because to me that was clearly the difference. They were just more physical and able to run more than we were.”

But there will be changes for certain this weekend, as Michael Parkhurst (USA) and Waylon Francis (Costa Rica) will join their respective national teams in preparation for the FIFA World Cup. Giancarlo Gonzalez has been named to Costa Rica’s squad, but will be available for the Portland match.

“[Tyson Wahl], Eric Gehrig, these guys are hanging in there,” said Berhalter. “It’s not easy; they haven’t gotten any chance to play because of our centerback combination. You tell them, ‘listen, your time will come, be

Page 5: MLS Game Guide: Portland Timbers vs. Columbus Crew - May 17, 2014

MLS GAME INFORMATION

patient.’ Now’s the time when we’re going to be forced to make at least one change, so there’s going to be new opportunities.”

Wil Trapp came back into the side after missing the Houston match while on suspension following his sending off at the weekend.

“It’s important. Wil is a good player. He’s vice captain for a reason. He means a lot to the team and the organizational side of it and it’s important to have him back, and Agustin [Viana] did a good job when he came in,” said Berhalter.

Bernardo Anor played only the first half before coming off. Ethan Finlay came on late in the sixth substitute appearance in the last eight matches.

“I think [Anor] was fatigued as well and he’ll tell you he was fine or he could’ve kept on, and he probably could’ve kept on, but he worked extremely hard last game and it took a big toll on him. The plan was to let him work hard and get a fresh guy in,” said Berhalter “... (Finlay) gives us a spark when he comes in and he’s done this not just in this game. ... He has that ability, and for him it’s maybe about the consistency getting that more often, but he’s certainly an offensive spark for us."

1-3-6 (9pts)

Providence Park opened on April 14, 2011, in front of a sold-out crowd in the Timbers first-ever home match as an MLS team. The club proceeded to sell out 51 consecutive regular-season home games in the team’s first three MLS seasons. Last year, the club earned an 11-1-5 overall regular-season home record in 17 games, which was the best home record in MLS. Currently, the Tim-bers have compiled an MLS-club record 21-game unbeaten streak at Providence Park. For the 2014 season, the stadium’s capacity was expanded to 20,814.

Midfielder Diego Valeri tallied the game-tying goal in the final minute of second-half stoppage time as the Timbers earned a come-from-behind, 1-1 draw against the LA Galaxy at Providence Park on May 11. Valeri’s second-half stoppage time equalizer in the 95th minute, the latest goal ever scored in a Timbers MLS match, canceled out a stoppage-time goal from Galaxy forward Robbie Keane that provided the visitors with a brief lead in the 92nd minute. The match marked just the second time in MLS history two teams have scored in second-half stoppage time after going scoreless in regulation. Portland ex-tended its MLS-club-record, home unbeaten streak to 21 consecutive matches, while earning a fourth straight result against the Galaxy since 2013.

CONSECUTIVE REGULAR-SEASON HOME SELLOUTS:

Page 16: MLS Game Guide: Portland Timbers vs. Columbus Crew - May 17, 2014

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.

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.

COLUMBUS CREW AT PORTLAND TIMBERSSATURDAY, MAY 17, 2014

SCOUTING THE CREW

STOPPAGE TIME

Portland has tallied stoppage-time goals in consecutive matches, with forward Maximiliano Urruti netting the game-winning goal in the 94th minute of a 3-2 victory against D.C. United on May 3 and midfielder Diego Valeri scoring the lat-est goal in Timbers MLS history - a 95th-minute, game-tying goal - against the LA Galaxy on May 11, both at Providence Park. Through 10 games this season, the Timbers have tallied three goals in stoppage time at home to earn points. Showing resiliency, Portland grabbed the game-tying goal in stoppage time against Philadelphia in the season-opener on March 8 at Providence Park.

THE IRONMANTimbers midfielder/forward Darlington Nagbe has started 58 straight league games for the club dating back to the 2012 MLS season. In his fourth year with the team, Nagbe has appeared in 77 of the team’s 78 regular-season games since the start of the 2012 MLS season. Nagbe became the first Timbers MLS player to reach 100 appearances for the team, hitting the century mark on April 5 against Seattle Sounders FC. Nagbe is the club’s MLS career leader in goals (17) and appearances (105).

Columbus enters Saturday’s game on a three-match losing streak. The Crew, who are led by first-year MLS head coach Gregg Berhalter, won each of their first three matches of the season, but have gone seven straight games without a win. Additionally, Columbus has played the last 321 minutes without scoring a goal. The Crew last recorded a goal on April 26 in the 39th minute of a 1-1 draw against the New York Red Bulls at Crew Stadium. Columbus will be without starting defender Michael Parkhurst for Saturday’s match due U.S. National Team duty. Costa Rican defenders Giancarlo Gonzalez and Waylon Francis and forward Jairo Arrieta were also called up to the Costa Rica National Team. Only Francis is expected to miss Saturday’s match as Gonzalez and Arrieta will join the national team following the game at Providence Park. Argentine forward Federico Higuain leads the Crew with four goals and two assists.

TIMBERS INJURY REPORTOUT: M Diego Chara (L hand surgery), M Rodney Wallace (L ACL surgery)QUESTIONABLE: D Michael Harrington (L ankle sprain)* - As of May 14, 2014

CHARA SURGERY SUCCESSFULMidfielder Diego Chara underwent successful surgery to stabilize a fractured third metacarpal in his left hand Monday afternoon at Sports Medicine Oregon in Tigard, Ore. Chara, who sustained the injury in the Timbers’ 1-1 draw with the LA Galaxy on Sunday, is expected to miss two weeks. In his fourth season with the Timbers, Chara, 28, started each of the team’s first 10 matches this season, recording two goals.

AT HOME AGAINST THE EASTThe Timbers are unbeaten at home in six consecutive matches against teams from the Eastern Conference, including a 3-2 win against D.C. United (May 3) and a pair of 1-1 draws against Philadelphia (March 8) and Chicago (March 16). Portland is 3-0-3 at home against Eastern Conference clubs dating back to April 6, 2013.

TIMBERS ON LOANDefender Taylor Peay, on loan with Orange County Blues FC in USL PRO, was an honorable mention on the USL PRO Team of the Week for Week 8 after playing the full 90 minutes in a 1-0 win over OKC Energy FC on May 10. On loan with USL PRO side Arizona United SC, defender Bryan Gallego played 90 minutes in three straight matches, including a 1-0 win over Harrisburg City Islanders on May 10 and a 3-2 U.S. Open Cup win over the Timbers U-23s on May 13 at Providence Park. Forward Schillo Tshuma, also on loan to Arizona, played 90 minutes against Harrisburg May 10 and logged 74 minutes on May 9 in a loss to Richmond.

CHANCES CREATEDTimbers midfielder Diego Valeri (25) and midfielder/forward Darlington Nagbe (21) each rank among league leaders in chances created (including assists) in the league through 10 matches this season. Valeri ranks sixth overall, just eight chances created off the league lead.

FEWEST LOSSESPortland has lost just eight of its last 44 regular-season matches, the fewest losses of any team in MLS in that span since 2013. The Timbers are 15-8-21 overall for a .580 winning percentage over their last 44 regular-season games.

CLOSING IN ON HISTORYOnly a handful of MLS clubs have recorded a home unbeaten streak of 20 straight games or more in regular-season play. Houston holds the MLS regular-season record at 30 straight unbeaten games at home from July 2011-April 2013. Real Salt Lake is second with a 29-game home unbeaten streak from 2009-2011 while Columbus is third with a 22-game home unbeaten streak from 2008-09. Portland’s current 21-game home unbeaten streak in regular-season play is fourth all-time in the MLS record book. The Timbers are 12-0-9 in their last 21 regular-season home matches, last suffering a loss on March 9, 2013, in a 2-1 setback against Montreal, which is a span of 434 days. With a result Saturday, Portland will tie Columbus for third place all-time.

HITTING THE WOODWORK

The Timbers lead the league with nine shots that have hit the frame this season. Portland defender Futty Danso most recently struck the frame with a second-half header in a 1-1 draw against the LA Galaxy on May 11 at Providence Park.

TIMBERS ACQUIRE FANENDO ADIEarlier this week, the Timbers acquired Nigerian forward Fanendo Adi on loan from Danish first-division side FC Copenhagen. Adi, 23, appeared in nine league matches (6 starts) for FC Copenhagen during the 2013-14 Danish Super Ligaen season, scoring three goals, including a tally in his debut for the club in a 1-1 draw against FC Vestsjælland on Aug. 25, 2013. The 6-foot-4 forward also featured in three group-stage matches during the 2013-14 UEFA Champions League tournament, earning a start in a 1-1 draw against Italian club Juventus and making substitute appearances against Real Madrid and Turkish club Galatasaray. Prior to joining FC Copenhagen, Adi played for Slovakian second-di-vision side AS Trencín from 2009-11, registering 18 league goals in 41 matches. Adi rejoined AS Trencín for the 2012-13 season, appearing in 16 matches and scoring three goals. Starting the 2013-14 campaign with the Slovakian side, Adi tallied seven goals in just three league matches, including a pair of hat-tricks. In two separate stints with the club, Adi recorded 27 goals in 60 league matches.

GET THE BALL BACKThe Timbers have won the second-most tackles in the league through 10 games this season with 177 successful tackles, according to Opta. Portland ranks among league leaders with an 83.9 percent tackle-success rate.

TEST AT TIMBERSSaturday’s match at Providence Park is the only meeting this season between the Crew and the Portland Timbers ... Columbus defeated Portland in the lone meeting in 2013 on July 7 ... Saturday’s clash is the fifth regular-season battle all-time dating back to 2011 ... Columbus leads the all-time series with a record of 2-1-1 in regular-season action ... the Crew is 2-0-0 all-time when hosting Portland and is 0-1-1 on the road in Oregon.

LAST MEETING The Crew picked-up three valuable points in a 1-0 victory over the Portland Timbers on July 7, 2013. With the win, the Black & Gold halted a three-match losing skid, while also ending Portland’s 15-match unbeaten run under Head Coach Caleb Porter, who made his return to the state of Ohio after seven seasons at the helm of the University of Akron. After scoring against the LA Galaxy on July 4, Bernardo Anor bagged his second goal in as many matches in the fifth minute, which was enough for the win.

COACHESGregg Berhalter (3-4-3, ‘14 - Present) vs. Caleb Porter (15-8-21, ‘13 - Present)

WHERE TO WATCH/LISTEN Saturday’s 10:30 p.m. ET start is available locally on Time Warner Cable SportsChan-nel ... a complete list of places to catch the Black & Gold on TV is available at TheCrew.com in the drop-down item “Where to Watch” under the “Schedule” tab ... fans can also listen to the match on the radio on 95.5 The Game or La Mega 103.1 FM.

BACK ON THE ROAD Saturday’s match marks the Crew’s fourth match of May and third away from Crew Stadium ... the team is looking to snap a three-match losing streak and return to winning ways on the road ... the Crew is 2-2-1 in road tilts in 2014 and is unbeaten (1-0-1) when leading at halftime of those matches ... the Black & Gold return home for a May 24 clash against Chicago before a final road match of May at Toronto FC on May 31.

GREAT HONOR FOR THE CREW ...The Columbus Crew announced on Monday that three players have been named to 30-man preliminary rosters ahead of the 2014 FIFA World Cup, including club captain Michael Parkhurst (United States Men’s National Team) as well as defenders Giancarlo Gonzalez and Waylon Francis (Costa Rican National Team) ... forward Jairo Arrieta has also been named as an alternate for Costa Rica’s provisional roster ... “We are proud of our players as they prepare to represent the Columbus Crew in their re-spective National Team camps,” said Crew Sporting Director and Head Coach Gregg Berhalter. “The possibility of representing your nation in the FIFA World Cup is our sport’s highest honor, and we’re thrilled for our players that now have this opportunity. We wish them every success ahead of this summer’s tournament.”

... BUT LINEUP CHANGES REQUIRED FOLLOWING DEPARTURESMichael Parkhurst (United States) and Waylon Francis (Costa Rica) have departed for National Team camp for their respective countries, with Giancarlo Gonzalez (Costa Rica) set to leave after this weekend’s match ... therefore, Sporting Director and Head Coach Gregg Berhalter has two spots to fill on the backline this weekend.

ADDITIONAL REINFORCEMENTS AVAILABLESporting Director and Head Coach Gregg Berhalter has several options to replace Waylon Francis and Michael Parkhurst on the backline this weekend ... in addition to veteran depth, the Crew recalled Kevan George and Ben Sweat from loan at USL-PRO affiliate Dayton Dutch Lions ... Sweat was on a game-by-game loan and started two matches while George had been with Dayton since March, earning significant playing experience.

BACK-TO-BACK CLASHES AGAINST THE WESTSaturday’s match marks the second consecutive clash against a Western Conference opponent following last weekend’s contest against Vancouver ... the last time that the Black & Gold played back-to-back tilts against foes from the opposite conference was August 24 and August 31 of 2013 when the Crew faced Real Salt Lake on the road before hosting Seattle Sounders FC.

PORTLAND MATCH IN 2013 WAS BIG FOR TRAPP Last season on July 7, 2013, midfielder Wil Trapp was in the starting lineup against the Portland Timbers ... he made his MLS debut with a start in the central midfield, be-coming the fourth Crew Homegrown Player in club history to start a match ... he also earned “Barbasol Man of the Match” honors as he led all players in passing percentage with an 86 percent completion rate ... Trapp started every single match following that tilt in 2013 and into the 2014 campaign before missing a match at Houston on May 7.

CLARK TOPS IN SAVE PERCENTAGE AMONG STARTING ‘KEEPERSCrew goalkeeper Steve Clark made five saves in Saturday’s 1-0 loss against Vancouver ... despite the defeat, of goalkeepers that have played nine or more matches in 2014, Clark ranks first in MLS in save percentage (74.42) ... Clark has one shutout and three five-save performances thus far in 2014 ... more Opta data is below:

We wish him success in the next chapter of his career” ... Finley made 14 appearances – including three starts at forward – and recorded one goal and one assist in his rookie season with the Black & Gold in 2013 ... while on-loan with the Dayton Dutch Lions of USL-PRO in 2014, the 23-year-old made three appearances.

BY THE NUMBERS900

After 10 matches thus far in 2014, Steve Clark, Michael Parkhurst and Giancarlo Gon-zalez have played every single minute for the Crew. Parkhurst has already left for U.S. Men’s National Team duty and Gonzalez is set to depart for FIFA World Cup camp in Costa Rica after Saturday’s match. Waylon Francis started the first 10 matches of 2014 (871 minutes) but departed ahead of Saturday. Still readily available for Columbus, Federico Higuain, Tony Tchani and Josh Williams have all started each tilt under Sporting Director and Head Coach Gregg Berhalter.

3Wil Trapp and Tony Tchani each were issued a yellow card in Saturday’s 1-0 loss to Vancouver Whitecaps FC. The pair of midfielders each have four cautions and can avoid a yellow-card suspension if they play three consecutive matches without being booked. Tchani has started all 10 contests while Trapp (nine starts) returned to action last weekend following a one-match suspension for a red card at Sporting KC on May 4. Per MLS Competition Rules and Regulations, “When one yellow card away from being suspended for caution accumulation, if a player appears in three consecutive games without receiving a yellow card or disciplinary sanction, the player will have one yellow card expunged. A player may take advantage of the ‘Good Behavior’ incen-tive only once throughout the season.”

5/23Ahead of next weekend’s match against Chicago, the Crew’s 2014 Circle of Honor induction polls close on Friday, May 23. Five finalists have been named for the Crew’s 2014 Circle of Honor induction process including: Mike Clark, Frankie Hejduk, Brian Maisonneuve, Guillermo Barros Schelotto and Robert Warzycha. Candidate profiles and voting information are available on TheCrew.com
