Matchday 5 reignited the Portland Timbers on the road, marking a significant victory against a top-rated and much-improved Colorado Rapids team. Antony was the only representative for the Timbers, scoring the go-ahead goal in the 48th minute and silencing Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colorado.

The man scored his second goal of the season and is optimistic about what more is to come.
