The Timbers would get a first-half goal from Franck Boli, and that would end up standing up in a wild match vs. FC Dallas on Sunday night at Providence Park, which ended in a 1-0 Timbers victory.<\/p>\n
In just the second minute, the Timbers thought they had been awarded a penalty kick on a foul on Juan David Mosquera<\/strong>, but replays showed (correctly) that Mosquera had actually stepped on the defender’s foot, and the penalty was waved off.<\/p>\n After getting several good chances that did not come to fruition, the Timbers finally broke the scoreless tie in the 35th minute, when Evander<\/strong> chipped a pass into the Dallas box that was run unto and headed nicely by Franck Boli<\/strong>, which Dallas keeper Maarten Paes <\/span><\/strong>couldn’t quite keep out of the net, and the Timbers had a 1-0 lead, which would be the score at the half.<\/p>\n The Timbers had a few good breakaway chances early in the second half, but none resulted in a shot on goal. In the 60th minute Santiago Moreno<\/strong> had a golden opportunity when the ball fell at his feet just front of goal on yet another breakaway, but his chance was blocked.<\/p>\n It appeared the Timbers were going to go up a man in the 70th minute when Geovane Jesus <\/span><\/strong> was shown a red, apparently for stepping on the leg of Diego Char\u00e1<\/strong>, but this was also overruled by VAR.<\/p>\n Dallas had perhaps their best chance on a header off a free kick late in stoppage time that was saved by David Bingham<\/strong>, and a Dallas striker badly misplayed the rebound. And the Timbers broke their winless streak with a 1-0 victory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Timbers would get a first-half goal from Franck Boli, and that would end up standing up in a wild match vs. FC Dallas on Sunday night at Providence Park, which ended in a 1-0 Timbers victory.
