Equalling their highest goal total in their MLS history, the Timbers tallied six goals, and so many things went well on the night in a 6-1 win over Real Salt Lake. Felipe Mora<\/strong>, Dairon Asprilla<\/strong>, Yimmi Char\u00e1<\/strong>, Diego Char\u00e1<\/strong>, Jaros\u0142aw Niezgoda<\/strong>, and Cristhian Paredes<\/strong> all scored for the Timbers, while Damir Kreilach<\/strong> had the lone goal for Real Salt Lake.  The last time the Timbers scored six was a 6-3 win away against the Los Angeles Galaxy on October 7, 2020, just a few weeks after a 6-1 win in San Jose.  Tonight is the first time the Timbers have scored six at home in their MLS history.<\/p>\n

The Timbers nearly got on the board one minute into the match, when a cross from Claudio Bravo<\/strong> found the head of Bill Tuiloma<\/strong>, but his header would be off the crossbar.  <\/p>\n

But in the 27th minute, the Timbers would make a counter-attack pay off when Sebasti\u00e1n Blanco<\/strong> made a break down the left side and his cross found the foot of Felipe Mora<\/strong>, who one-timed the shot into the net past Real Salt Lake goalkeeper David Ochoa<\/strong>, and the Timbers had a 1-0 lead.  It only took another nine minutes for the Timbers to double the lead, when Dario \u017dupari\u0107<\/strong> played a long ball from the Timbers side of the field that was headed by Dairon Asprilla<\/strong><\/a> and past Ochoa into the net, and the Timbers lead had doubled to 2-0.<\/p>\n

Then in the 41st minute, Real Salt Lake would pull a goal back when the ball got free in the Timbers box in front of goalkeeper Steve Clark<\/strong>, and Damir Kreilach<\/strong> blasted a shot into the net from close range to make the score 2-1 Timbers, which would be the score at the break.<\/p>\n

It didn’t take very long for the Timbers to take their lead back to two goals in the second half, when in the 48th minute, Yimmi Char\u00e1<\/strong> played a nice ball into the run of Blanco, who one-timed a pass back to Char\u00e1<\/a> at the top of the box, and Char\u00e1 would curl a perfect shot into the upper right hand corner of the net, and the Timbers lead had widened to 3-1.<\/p>\n

Then in the 68th minute, Yimmi would play a nice pass into the open run of his brother Diego Char\u00e1<\/strong><\/a>, who easily beat Ochoa with a low shot, and the lead was now 4-1.  But the Timbers weren’t done yet, when in the 85th minute, Jaros\u0142aw Niezgoda<\/strong> played an unintentional give-and-go with Santiago Moreno<\/strong><\/a>, and Niezgoda blasted home a high one-timer to widen the lead to 5-1.<\/p>\n

But the Timbers would add one more goal to finish their six-pack on the night, when in the 88th minute, Marvin Lor\u00eda<\/strong> would drop a soft pass to a charging Cristhian Paredes<\/strong>, who blasted a shot over Ochoa for the final goal on the night, and gave the Timbers a resounding 6-1 victory.<\/p>\n

Steve Clark<\/strong> had eight saves on the night, while David Ochoa <\/strong>tallied three saves for the visitors.<\/p>\n
