The Timbers would let two leads slip away against Los Angeles FC, but held on after playing almost an entire half down a player, and held on for a 2-2 draw.  Felipe Mora<\/strong> and Evander<\/strong> scored for the Timbers, while Mateusz Bogusz<\/strong> scored twice for the visitors.<\/p>\n

In just the third minute, the Timbers had a great chance when Jonathan Rodr\u00edguez<\/strong> found Antony<\/strong> open at the far post, but the one-timer shot attempt would go wide right.  But in the 11th minute, the Timbers would be on the board when Evander<\/strong> chipped a brilliant pass  into the run of Felipe Mora<\/strong>, who barely redirected the ball past LAFC goalkeeper Hugo Lloris<\/strong>, and the Timbers had a 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n

But in the 22nd minute, a Timbers defensive breakdown allowed Mateusz Bogusz<\/strong> to slip into the box largely unmarked, and he put a nice low shot past goalkeeper Maxime Cr\u00e9peau<\/strong> and just inside the right post, and the score was level at 1-1.<\/p>\n

In the 34th minute, the Timbers would re-take the lead, when Juan David Mosquera<\/strong> chipped a pass to Evander, who controlled it nicely in the box, and blasted a shot just under the bar past Lloris, and the Timber led again, by a 2-1 score.  This would be the score at halftime.<\/p>\n

But just two minute into the second half, the tone of the match would change, when on an LAFC breakaway, Cr\u00e9peau was judged to have fouled Denis Bouanga<\/strong> just outside the box, and the referee showed a red card to the Timbers keeper.  So the Timbers would have to play the rest of the match down a man and with James Pantemis<\/strong> in goal.  LAFC had a free kick just outside the box that Bogusz put nicely inside the left post with Pantemis never moving, and LAFC had leveled the score at 2-2.<\/p>\n

LAFC would quickly have a chance to grab the lead in the 54th minute when Bouanga slipped a blast just wide left.  In the 66th minute the Timbers came within inches of taking the lead when a free kick by Evander was off the crossbar.  Two minutes later, an Evander corner kick was deflected towards goal by Rodr\u00edguez, and barely kept out by a nice save by Lloris. <\/p>\n

Three minutes into seven minutes of added time, the visitors had their best chance to steal the win, when Bogusz slipped into the box and hit a tight-angle shot that Pantemis saved nicely, but the rebound fell in front of the goal, with Kei Kamara<\/strong> seeming to have an easy chance to finish into a mostly-empty net, but his attempt would slip just wide right. <\/p>\n
