TIMBERS DRAW EVEN IN OVERTIME |
|
PORTLAND, Ore. – The Portland Timbers played Team Calgary to a 1-1 overtime draw in A-League action Sunday before 4,261 fans at PGE Park. With the tie, the Timbers (11-9-1) lost ground in the Pacific Division playoff race to second-place Vancouver, who defeated Cincinnati, 2-1, Sunday. The match marked the first Timbers draw all season and broke a six-game winning streak at PGE Park. It was the third consecutive overtime match for the road-weary Timbers, who played three games in the last five days. Calgary (4-15-3) jumped on the board first in the 8th minute of play, as Nick Reyes beat out the Portland defense and blasted in a shot over the head of Portland goalkeeper Josh Saunders from 35 yards out. Gavin Wilkinson knotted the score at one goal apiece in the 33rd minute, deflecting a corner kick by Hugo Alcaraz into the net from six yards. It was Wilkinson’s first goal of the season. Portland certainly had its chances throughout the evening, out-shooting Calgary, 16-7, and holding the advantage in corner kicks at 9-1. Calgary did not get off a shot in the entire second half. Fadi Afash, who subbed in for Byron Alvarez in the 63rd, had good scoring opportunities in the 79th and 80th minutes, but came up short. Up next for the Timbers is an August 9th matchup vs. the Seattle Sounders at PGE Park. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. (Pacific). SCORING SUMMARY: Reyes, 8th (Ian Clarke); Wilkinson, 33rd (Alcaraz).
