The Portland Timbers did score three goals against the hosts two in Dallas on a very warm evening of the 4th, but unfortunately one was into their own net, and they ended up at the short end of a 3-2 score.  Antony<\/strong> and Evander<\/strong> had the goals for the Timbers along with an own goal by Cristhian Paredes<\/strong>, and Petar Musa<\/strong> and Nkosi Tafari<\/strong> would add goals for the hosts.<\/p>\n

Evander<\/strong> had a good shot just seconds into the match, but it was pushed wide by Maarten Paes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In just the eighth minute, the Timbers would be on the board when Evander (who was deep on the Timbers back-line at the time) played a very long ball perfectly into the run of Antony<\/strong>, who had a one-on-one with the  Dallas keeper, and though his initial chance was saved, Antony quickly jumped on the rebound and finished to put the Timbers up 1-0.<\/p>\n

Three minutes later, the hosts had a great chance to respond when Dante Sealy<\/strong> sent a ball into the box that was nicely headed by Sebastien Ibeagha<\/strong>, but was just wide right.<\/p>\n

The Timbers had a great chance to widen their lead later in the half, when Antony’s cross found Jonathan Rodr\u00edguez<\/strong>  with a chance near the Dallas far post, but he was unable to get a clean shot off and the ball trickled wide.  The Timbers held a 1-0 lead at the break.<\/p>\n

In the 49th minute, Dallas would tie it up when players seemed to have expected a foul call on a play against David Ayala, but instead Dallas took advantage and Sebastian Lletget<\/strong> found Petar Musa<\/strong> on a run into the box, and they fought off their defender and their shot beat James Pantemis<\/strong>, and the score was now 1-1.<\/p>\n

In the 54th and 56th minutes, Rodr\u00edguez would have two great chances for the Timbers, the first on a breakaway where the Dallas defense retreated just in time to block the shot, and the second on a rebound off a corner kick that he would shoot just ride right.<\/p>\n

In the 61st minute, Dallas would take the lead off a corner kick by Lletget when Nkosi Tafari<\/strong> was largely open at the back post for a header, and finished nicely just inside the right post, and the score was now 2-1 Dallas.<\/p>\n

But just one minute later, the Timbers were level again when Antony made a nice run down the right side, then slipped a pass into the box into the run of Evander, who one-timed a finish, and the score was now 2-2.<\/p>\n

But in the 88th minute, the Timbers would become their own worst enemy when a cross from the left side was headed into the goal by Cristhian Paredes, and Dallas now led 3-2.<\/p>\n

Seven minutes into stoppage time, the Timbers nearly tied the score when a free kick from 30 yards out by Evander was off the crossbar and rebound was too quick to be put on-net.<\/p>\n

But the Timbers would never find the equalizer and ended up on the short end of a 3-2 score.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
