Overview
- Portland edged San Diego FC 2-1 at Snapdragon Stadium on Saturday after Alex Bonetig knocked in a corner at 90+6 for his first MLS goal.
- Kevin Kelsy put the Timbers ahead in the 26th minute by forcing a turnover and finishing, and Anders Dreyer equalized with a 33rd-minute penalty.
- San Diego briefly thought it led early in the second half, but VAR ruled Marcus Ingvartsen offside on a finish from an Anders Dreyer set piece.
- Timbers goalkeeper James Pantemis protected the result with late stops, including a 79th-minute save and a one-on-one denial of Dreyer at 90+9.
- The loss extended San Diego’s slide to five straight defeats and eight matches without a win, and captain Jeppe Tverskov left in the 81st minute with an apparent injury after a week that also included the club’s sixth red card in eight games.
