The Portland Timbers hosted the Los Angeles Galaxy on Wednesday night at Providence Park, and got goals from their three frequent scorers in a 4-2 win over the Galaxy.  Evander<\/strong> had two goals while Jonathan Rodr\u00edguez<\/strong> and Felipe Mora<\/strong> also scored.  Gabriel Pec<\/strong> and Joseph Paintsil<\/strong><\/span> would score for the visitors.<\/p>\n

The Timbers would take the lead in the 18th minute when Evander<\/strong> sent a nice ball into the box that was finished by a nice header by Jonathan Rodr\u00edguez<\/strong> to give the Timbers an early 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n

In the 37th minute, a nice cross from Juan David Mosquera<\/strong> was narrowly missed by a sliding attempt by Evander.  But only a minute or so later, Evander made good on his chance when he got a pass at the top of the box from Santiago Moreno<\/strong>, and finished nicely inside the right post to make the lead 2-0.<\/p>\n

But late in first half stoppage time, the Galaxy would pull back a goal when Gabriel Pec<\/strong> made a nice run into the box and finished with a nice high shot past Maxime Cr\u00e9peau<\/strong> to make the score 2-1 Timbers at the break.<\/p>\n

In the 51st minute the Timbers would take their lead back out to two goal, when after Rodr\u00edguez went down in the box, while the defenders contemplated whether a penalty would be called or not, Evander jumped on the loose ball and finished past John McCarthy, and the Timbers lead was 3-1.<\/p>\n

But in the 59th minute, the Galaxy pulled within a goal again when Joseph Paintsil<\/strong> knocked home a rebound that came off the post, and after a VAR review as the original goal had been called offside, the goal was (correctly) awarded and the score was 3-2 Timbers.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

In the 77th minute, Cr\u00e9peau made a really nice save on a shot by Pec that was deflected on its way to the goal.<\/p>\n

In the 79th minute, the Timbers would expand their lead back up to two goals again when Antony<\/strong> (who had just entered the match seconds before) sent a cross from the left side that was chested down by Felipe Mora<\/strong>, who then finished with a nice high short-side shot, and the Timbers lead was 4-2.  The Timbers would hold onto that lead which was the final score.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
