Evander is becoming a referent to Phil Neville’s offensive game. After all, the Carioca is the center of the former Manu great attacking and setting the game tone in every match.
With a beauty of a Golazo in stoppage time, the man gave his Portland Timbers a share of the spoils in what became a goal fest game for both sides and ended in a 4-4 draw against a renewed St. Louis SC side.
Despite the scores of Santiago Moreno and a brace from Felipe Mora in what became a terrible game for the home side, Evander’s magic delivered a game-saving draw in the end.
