The Portland Timbers secured a big win on a rainy Saturday night at Providence Park, as Sebastian Blanco<\/strong>, Marvin Lor\u00eda<\/strong>, and Jeremy Ebobisse<\/strong> scored in a 3-1 win over the Vancouver Whitecaps in the first of ten straight home matches. Theo Bair<\/strong> had a spectacular volley for the Whitecaps goal.<\/p>\n

The Timbers would have the early momentum and nearly made it pay off in the 20th minute when a hard shot from Sebastian Blanco<\/strong><\/a> was saved but set up a follow up by Diego Valeri<\/strong> that was only kept out of the net because it hit Whitecaps defender Ali Adnan<\/strong> square in the forehead. The Whitecaps defender did stay in the match but only for 10 minutes before being subbed off.<\/p>\n

In the 28th minute the Timbers would make their momentum pay off when Blanco would hit a hard shot<\/a> from 25 yards out<\/a> that Whitecaps goalkeeper Maxime Cr\u00e9peau<\/strong> got a hand on but couldn’t keep out of the net, and the Timbers had a 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n

But in the 38th minute, the visitors would level the score when the Timbers were unable to clear a corner kick out of their own box, and Whitecaps midfielder Theo Bair<\/strong> would tally his first professional goal with a spectacular side volley with his back to goal that was perfectly placed into the upper left corner, past Timbers goalkeeper Steve Clark<\/strong>, and the match was tied at 1-1, which would be the score at the break.<\/p>\n

In the 50th minute, a series of nice Timbers passes ended up with Valeri getting a good shot from near the penalty spot, but the shot was stopped by a sliding block from Whitecaps defender Brett Levis<\/strong>. But five minutes later, the Timbers did get their second goal of the night when Marvin Lor\u00eda<\/strong> hit a 25 yard shot<\/a> that was a near mirror image of Blanco’s first half goal, though the shot appeared to take a slight deflection, but Cr\u00e9peau could not keep the shot out of the net, and the Timbers had a<\/a> 2-1 lead<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Whitecaps appeared to level the score just a few minutes later, but the goal was ruled offside and disallowed.<\/p>\n

The Timbers would add an insurance goal in the 90th minute when Valeri played a through ball to Tom\u00e1s Conechny<\/strong>, who one-touched a pass to Jeremy Ebobisse<\/strong>, who was open to trap and then place a low shot into the net<\/a> to finalize the score at a 3-1<\/a> Timbers victory.<\/p>\n

Steve Clark<\/strong> had three saves for the Timbers while Maxime Cr\u00e9peau<\/strong> had five saves for the Whitecaps.<\/p>\n
