Portland Timbers and Los Angeles Galaxy took to Jeld-Wen Field to resume the action for the second half of the encounter, with the Timbers leading the game 2-0.
Galaxy continued to dominate the possession in the second half but solid chances in the final third were hard to come by.
Playmaker Darlington Nagbe advanced with the ball and found http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lovel-Palmer-c22467 at the top of the box. The attacking midfielder tried a chip but his attempt missed the target by mere inches.
Six minutes later, Kenny Cooper tried his luck from 40 yards out but the ball just flew past the right post.
The first real Galaxy attempt came shortly afterwards. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Adam-Cristman-c3520 fed Birchall with a through pass, however, he lost possession while trying to round the goalkeeper, Troy
Perkins.
Miguel Lopez then tried to bury the ball into the netting but his shot from just outside the penalty area was slightly wide of the target.
The game then turned into a physical affair and the Galaxy skipper, Landon Donovan, was shown a yellow card for his troubles.
In 68th minute, Portland’s mascot for the league plays, Joey Timber, cut another slab of the wood log as his team scored another goal to add further to Los Galacticos’ misery. It was http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Eric-Brunner-c12700 with the goal this time as he scored from a corner
kick.
The rest of the game was dominated by the Timbers and the fame ended 3-0 in the Timbers’ favour at Rose City, Oregon.
