Goooood morning everyone, who wants to watch the great @kelseybaker.bsky.social’s view of Antony’s game-winning pen? ⭐️🇧🇷🌲 #RCTID

Huge shoutout to everyone at Providence Park tonight who had the means to be there. Real support is showing up for your club when they need it most, and they utilized that support tonight. Hopefully the turnout is better a week from Saturday, those lads deserve it. #RCTID

Three of them!

Full Time: Sounders 1 - 0 Timbers Spiceless in Seattle. Steak comes to an end, and there’s not much to be excited about. #RCTID

90+4’ Albert Rusnak with a nasty tackle from behind on Omir Fernandez and is given a yellow card, but the ref is summoned to the monitor and will send him off. Sounders man and their supporters can have no complaints, that’s a bad one. #RCTID

84’ Double switch - Felipe Mora, Omir Fernandez ON // Paredes, Da Costa OFF #RCTID

78’ Triple switch for the Timbers - Guerra, Lassiter, Chara ON // Kelsy, Smith, Ayala OFF #RCTID

66' Velde spins Rothrock like a top just outside the box and flashes a left-footed curler juuuust wide of the far post. #RCTID

64' The Timbers have pinned the Sounders into their own penalty area over the last 10 minutes but Seattle's backline has held firm. Gotta capitalize on one of these chances. #RCTID

57’ Smith feeds Kevin with a great through-ball into the box, but Kelsy strayed just a hair offside. Put his finish wide of goal regardless. #RCTID

53' That is a ~rough~ touch from Antony on the pass from Velde to squander a deadly counter from the Timbers. #RCTID

46' Back underway at Lumen. #RCTID

Halftime: Sounders 1 - 0 Timbers Portland trail at the break, but the performance wasn't awful. Seattle capitalized on the one massive chance they created, and have been fortunate that the Timbers' end-product has been lacking. What are we drinking? #RCTID

45' Paredes turns the ball over on the edge of Seattle's box, and the Sounders send a ball over the top for Rothrock to chase against Kamal Miller. A heavy touch takes him wide of goal, and Paredes gets back to head the cross out for a corner. #RCTID

42' Huge kick save from Crepeau to deny Rothrock from close range and Finn Surman clears the second attack. #RCTID

34' A beautiful passage of play from the Timbers down the right sets up Da Costa for a shot on goal, but Frei produces a good stop to push it over the bar. #RCTID

25' Midfield shape is an absolute mess to start this match. Ball is cleared to Ferreira, who has all the time in the world to take it down, drive at the defense, and blaze a strike over the bar. #RCTID

24' Velde is fouled on the right wing, free kick upcoming near the corner flag. #RCTID

16' 1-0 Sounders, De la Vega scores on a cutback cross from Alex Roldan. Juan Mosquera lost his runner and Ayala couldn't cut out the cross, nothing Crepeau could have done. #RCTID

Can anyone explain the “12” to me? #RCTID

1' Kelsy gets things rolling #RCTID

A loooooooooooot of empty seats in the lower bowl with minutes to go until kickoff. #RCTID

So none of the players listed as questionable make the matchday squad (Zuparic, McGraw, Fory, Rojas), and Max Crepeau starts in goal with Pantemis injured. Back four returns: Smith, Kamal, Finn (C), Juan Paredes - Ayala double-pivot Velde, DDC, Antony, Kelsy attack. #RCTID

You guys are stuck with me tonight. Let’s gut some fish. #RCTID

There’s a segment of Timbers supporters I can’t wrap my head around who make these definitive statements about the current state of the club from a really bad faith position. Very clearly have their minds made up about coaches/players/soccer ops strategy and overlook any semblance of good happening.

No Zac McGraw in the squad tonight (wasn’t on the injury report) with both Mosquera and Fory out, leaving Kamal Miller as the only defensive sub. He recently posted a message on his IG story, and wasn’t part of the team’s squad photo. #RCTID

Wild week out West: SEA lose their game in hand on Portland 3-1 in MIA after dropping 2pts at home to last-place LAG DAL win 2-0 against ATX COL late winner vs Timbers next opponents HOU VAN touchdown MIN 3 - 1 W @ SD It’s an absolute rock fight down the stretch. #RCTID

Hello hello! The new Stumptown Footy is live! (Revived? Rebooted?) Come check it all out ⬇️ #RCTID #BAONPDX

A point away to both San Diego and Minnesota are good results, but just two points from six make the home game against the Red Bulls a must-win even more than it already was. Not many games left to pick up points. #RCTID

I think the Timbers were on top of Minnesota leading up to this substitution and should have pushed for a second instead of bringing on two defenders and dropping back. #RCTID

Phil Neville says that the decision to leave Da Costa out of the Starting XI was more fitness/fatigue-related than performance-related. He also thought Velde was outstanding in his place as the #10. #RCTID

FULL TIME: San Diego 0 - 0 Portland The Timbers escape with a big point on the road against the league leaders despite a sub-par performance. A bit better in the second half, but this team needs to remember how to score goals quickly. #RCTID

90+5’ Without Finn Surman and David Ayala the Timbers aren’t anywhere close to a result tonight. #RCTID

90’ Penalty called against Zuparic for a handball but this is surely going to be overturned because didn’t hit anywhere near his hand. #RCTID

87’ Finn Surman the man you are. The captain makes a sliding challenge to deny San Diego a 2v1 opportunity that surely would have resulted in a goal. #RCTID

82’ Paredes and Chara ON // Da Costa and Carballo OFF #RCTID

80’ Ohhhhhhhh mannnnn… Lassiter’s in-swinging corner is glanced by Surman to Pipe at the back post, and Mora just makes a mess of the chance. #RCTID

78’ Dreyer finally times his run correctly and flashes a shot wide of the far post. He should have hit the target there, Timbers get lucky again. #RCTID

72’ Lassiter forces Dos Santos into a save with a left-footed free kick. San Diego then break up the field through Dreyer and Mosquera makes a silly foul outside the box after forcing him away from goal with good defending. #RCTID

69’ Da Costa plays a 1-2 with Antony and sails a cross out of play on the return. Lassiter replaces Velde before play is resumed. #RCTID

67’ Velde goes down holding his hamstring but looks like a bit of cramp, he’s back to his feet. Nearly had a panic attack there… #RCTID

60’ Kelsy and Rojas OFF // Mora and Antony ON The correct changes to make — Kelsy had a Mr. Hyde performance, and Rojas looked like someone who hasn’t played much this year. #RCTID

57’ Back to back corners from Rojas and Velde cause San Diego all sorts of issues, leading to shots from Carballo and Velde on recycled possession. Better from the Timbers. #RCTID

53’ Fory cuts back a cross to Kevin Kelsy inside the 18, and the young man lets the ball roll toward Da Costa instead of taking the open shot. Hair pull of a moment there… #RCTID

46’ No changes for the Timbers to start the second half. #RCTID

HALFTIME: San Diego 0 - 0 Portland The Timbers are lucky to be level after a poor first half. So poor in possession, as open as a sieve at the back, and unable to make things click in the final third. Antony and Mora for Rojas/Kelsy please. What are we drinkin’? #RCTID

If David da Costa is going to occupy a DP spot for the Timbers he needs to do so much more. Essentially non-existent in this first half. #RCTID

31’ Dario and Juan just about get the offside trap correctly to nix an opening goal from Dreyer. The best attacker in MLS gets a free run on Pantemis from the halfway line and buries the chance, but after review it’s chalked off. #RCTID

26’ First look at a dead-ball delivery from Rojas was a good one — Wicked delivery just cut out by Baird. #RCTID

25’ Velde gets stuck in, wins the ball, and draws a yellow from De la Torre with a powerful run. #RCTID
