Diego Valeri<\/strong> extended his MLS-record consecutive goalscoring streak to nine games with a penalty kick in the 15th minute, then adding another goal in the 59th minute, and Darren Mattocks<\/strong> adding another goal between Valeri’s goal with a strike in the 29th minute as the Timbers shut out Orlando City SC 3-0. The day was also remarkable for the presence of five year old goalkeeper Derrick Tellez<\/strong>, fulfilling his dream to be a Timbers player<\/a> through the Make-A-Wish foundation. Tellez was voted Man of the Match by the Timbers fans<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Timbers forward Darren Mattocks<\/strong> had an early chance on a breakaway down the left side, but his close-in shot was kicked away by Orlando goalkeeper (and former Timber) Joe Bendik<\/strong><\/a>. In the 15th minute a Video Assisted Review of a foul in the Orlando City box<\/a> resulted in a Timbers penalty kick<\/a>, which Diego Valeri<\/strong> slipped<\/a> inside the right post<\/a> to give the Timbers the early 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n

In the 30th minute, the Timbers would double the lead when midfielder Diego Chara<\/strong> played a spectacular touch pass into the run of Dairon Asprilla<\/strong>, who one-touched a pass across the goal mouth into the run of Mattocks, with the Timbers forward one-touching the ball pass Bendik<\/a> and into the net to give the Timbers the 2-0 lead, which would be the score at the break.<\/p>\n

Barely a minute into the second half, the visitors would be down to 10 players as defender Jonathan Spector<\/strong>, who had already been cautioned in the first half, received a second yellow on a foul on Valeri. The Timbers would not take long to take advantage of the extra man when in the 59th minute, after Bendik had saved a shot from Mattocks<\/a>, Valeri charged after the rebound and knocked the ball into the net<\/a> just before crossing the end line to widen the score to 3-0.<\/p>\n

Orlando City would go down to 9 players in the 85th minute when Victor Pagliari Giro<\/strong> was ejected for an elbow to the face of Chara during an Orlando City free kick, but there was no more scoring and the Timbers held on for the 3-0 win.<\/p>\n

Jeff Attinella<\/strong> would record four saves for the Timbers in the winning effort while Joe Bendik<\/strong> had seven saves for the visitors.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
