What a way to make an all-around statement on the road for the Portland Timbers winning on the road at Q2 Stadium to a score of 2-0 and clinching the seventh seed in the Western Conference.

With scores from Ariel Lassiter on the 3^rd minute and later by Kristoffer Velde in the 70^th minute the Timbers won their fourth straight as they railed from below the playoff line to a matchup with FC Dallas in two weeks.
