Jimer Fory has rightfully secured a spot on the Team of the Matchday for Week 16, showcasing his exceptional talent. Antony followed suit by scoring the equalizer, and David Da Costa also made the team despite starting the game on the bench; he ultimately earned his second selection.

Fory is proving to be the vital defender the Portland Timbers have been seeking. The U-22 player from Colombia is making a significant impact in every match, establishing himself as an authoritative presence in the backfield.

In the 59th minute, Antony decisively scored the equalizer to level the match, and shortly after, Kevin Kelsy delivered the game-winning goal. David Da Costa, instrumental in the team’s equalizing efforts, solidified his place on the Team of the Matchday for the second time.
