On a night when the Timbers honored Diego Valeri<\/strong> by adding him as the sixth member of the Timbers Ring of Honor, the Timbers made the night even more special with a 3-2 win over the Columbus Crew.  Dairon Asprilla<\/strong> had two goals for the Timbers while Sebasti\u00e1n Blanco<\/strong> would get the game winner, while Lucas Zelaray\u00e1n<\/strong> had two goals for the visitors.<\/p>\n

The first good scoring chance for either team, which came in the 28th minute, would result in a Timbers goal when after the Crew failed to clear an Evander<\/strong> corner kick, Claudio Bravo<\/strong> used a bicycle kick to keep the ball in the box, with Dario \u017dupari\u0107<\/strong> then tapping a pass to Dairon Asprilla<\/strong>, who blasted into the far side of the net past goalkeeper Patrick Schulte, and the Timbers had a 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n

It would only take two minutes for the Timbers to double the lead, when Franck Boli<\/strong> played a perfect pass into the run of Asprilla has he had a lone breakaway, and he tapped the ball past Schulte and into the net, and the lead was now 2-0.<\/p>\n

But in first half stoppage time, Columbus would pull a goal back when Jacen Russell-Rowe<\/strong> found Lucas Zelaray\u00e1n<\/strong> perfectly beating an offside trap, and rounding goalkeeper David Bingham<\/strong> and finished easily, and the Timbers lead was now 2-1, which would be the score at the half.<\/p>\n

In the 65th minute, Columbus would tie things up when Zelaray\u00e1n hit a perfectly curling shot from 25 yards out that found the top right hand corner, and the Crew had tied the match at 2-2.<\/p>\n

In the 73rd minute, the Timbers nearly re-took the lead when after an Evander free kick, Yimmi Char\u00e1<\/strong> had a chance on a header from just a few yards out but the header was off the crossbar.<\/p>\n

But in the 80th minute, an attempt by Char\u00e1 would be deflected across the goal mouth but into the run of a charging Sebasti\u00e1n Blanco<\/strong>, who blasted his shot into the roof of the net for his first goal of the season, and the Timbers had retaken the lead at 3-2.<\/p>\n

Neither team would find the net again with the Timbers getting the 3-2 win over the Crew.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n
