Portland Timbers Briefly

What a goal from Santiago Moreno! The young Colombian is showing great maturity and will likely attract interest from many suitors, perhaps even from abroad, as he plays every match like it’s his last.

As manager, Phil Neville is feeling positive after his team delivered an exceptional defensive performance, leading to a victory on the road against Sporting Kansas City.

This team is fully prepared to excel in the competition, and with a match scheduled for midweek, I anticipate another possible victory on the road. They have been performing well this season as an away team.

Jonathan Rodriguez’s return to the lineup is encouraging. Players like Mosquera are stepping up, but Fory remains absent, and Claudio Bravo has replaced him, delivering a strong performance.

With steady progress, this team can return to winning ways and start making headlines throughout the league. A victory on the road will improve their record and help them overcome their struggles away from home, which has been a well-known challenge for this team.

They secured a win on the road on Saturday, and this team can start delivering results anytime and anywhere!

Real Salt Lake Briefly

Manager Pablo Mastroeni is preparing for another challenging season with the Claret and Cobalt, as the team currently sits in eleventh place and is outside of the postseason spots.

Nonetheless, this team is incredibly resilient, and before the season concludes, these players can mount a steady comeback, reaching the postseason once again.

Diego Luna, the midfielder, has earned a spot on the bench of this week’s Team of the Matchday for week 12, thanks to his impressive performance. He scored a crucial goal to help secure a point on the road against FC Dallas, a team that has been struggling this season.

As Luna, the midfielder, has been on fire, scoring six goals in RSL’s six games, he is making significant contributions as the Mexican-American is regarded as a key provider for the Utah side.
