David Ayala and Kevin Kelsy were part of the starting lineup for Week 8, as the Portland Timbers secured a convincing 4-2 victory against Sporting Kansas City at Children’s Mercy Park.

David Ayala opened the scoring in the 10th minute, followed by Kevin Kelsy, who found the net twice—in the 26th and 49th minutes. The Rose City team achieved a significant win on the road, thanks to the contributions of these players.

Now, they return to Providence Park to face LAFC in a match scheduled for Saturday.
