 Portland Timbers Briefly

No deciphering the game for the Portland Timbers against Inter Miami CF, with Lionel Messi scoring once, the Herons really delivered a clean sheet with a 2-0 win over a depleted Portland Timbers.

Still, for manager Phil Neville, its business as usual looking forward to many eventful afternoons with his side starting Saturday with 2nd place San Jose coming to town.

San Jose Briefly

Manager Bruce Arena has led the Quakes towards the top of the Western Conference, but is coming off back-to-back losses in league play to Seattle and FC Dallas, and then Open Cup elimination to Houston on Wednesday night.

The Quakes will once again be without Timo Werner who has been sorely missed the last few weeks.

 Forecast

Can the Portland Timbers get back in the winning column? One way to find out!
