Stumptown Footy

Full Time: Timbers 1 - 4 Whitecaps

Boos ring out around Providence Park for a third-consecutive blowout home loss against Vancouver.

Don’t really think anybody was very good, but the forwards are just giving the Timbers nothing right now.

Eric Izoita, proud of him. #RCTID

90’ Seven minutes of stoppage time that don’t benefit a single soul. #RCTID

87’ White has a fourth Vancouver goal but I don’t know how in the world Velde didn’t get a call for a foul in the buildup. Two dudes draped all over him and Rivas just lets play go on. #RCTID

80’ Felipe Mora on // Brandon Bye off #RCTID

72’ HAVE A HIT KIDDO, ERIC IZOITA JUST SCORED A SCREAMER!!!

Timbers pull a goal back through their 18-year-old academy midfielder. 3-1. #RCTID

63’ AZ Jackson sits Izoita down on the wing, cuts a cross back to Berhalter at the top of the box, and the U.S. midfielder side-foots a strike past Pantemis for 3-0.

This one’s over. #RCTID

62’ Aravena’s debut comes to a close, Ariel Lassiter replaces him.

I liked what I saw! Biggest thing was how quick his decision-making was. #RCTID

59’ Frustration foul from Velde on Ocampo sees the Norwegian go into the book. #RCTID

56’ Huge fan of that crunching challenge from Antony on Cubas. #RCTID

54’ First change of the night is Guerra on // Kelly off. #RCTID

49’ 2-0 Whitecaps. Terrible set-piece defending from the Timbers, who allow Blackmon to drift unmarked to the back-post and hammer home at the second time of asking. #RCTID

46’ No changes for either side, Timbers attack the North end. #RCTID

Halftime: Timbers 0 - 1 Whitecaps

The score is familiar, but considering the Timbers are starting their soon-to-be fourth choice midfielder next to an 18-year-old, the performance hasn’t been terrible.

The wing play is letting Portland down. Again. What’re we drinking? #RCTID

34’ Velde floats a delightful cross into the box that’s just too tall for Kelsy, and too far in front of Bye at the back post. #RCTID

33’ Muller is found in a pocket of space outside the ‘D’, but his shot is tame and Pants claims easily. #RCTID

White’s fourth goal in his last five games against the Timbers. #RCTID

25’ Antony down holding his knee after an awkward challenge. Looks in a lot of pain as the trainers come out to treat him. #RCTID

21’ Goal for Vancouver, 1-0, Brian White.

Ian Smith fails to clear after recovering the ball, Badwal plays to Berhalter, and Berhalter curls one into White’s path for the opener. #RCTID

17’ Ocampo booked for the visitors for a foul on Velde just outside the top right corner of the box. #RCTID

7’ Yellow card to Kelsy. #RCTID

6’ First for the Timbers comes from Kelsy picking Priso’s pocket and running in on goal.

He opted for a pass, which was the correct decision, but Aravena took the ball instead of the intended Velde outside of him. #RCTID

1’ We’re underway. #RCTID

The axe is the soul.

Study the soul to know the axe.

Sharp mind; Sharp axe
#RCTID

Kickoff approacheth.

Was questionable with a “lower leg injury”

He didn’t have any other choices, just stunned to not see Bassett in the XI. Must have picked up an injury on Friday. #RCTID

Hoo’boy, lineup’s out!

Alexander Aravena makes his debut in the #10, as does Eric Izoita in the double-pivot with… Joao Ortiz?

Chara and Bonetig miss out, as does late scratch Cole Bassett. Fory out suspended.

Kevin Kelsy comes in for Gage Guerra up top.

Thoughts? #RCTID

Look who’s in the building 👀 #RCTID

Significantly warmer and less rainy than opening night, but the view remains the best💚💛

Let’s get stuck in. #RCTID
