Overview
- Vancouver beat Portland 3-2 after two stoppage-time goals Saturday at BC Place, with Thomas Müller leveling from the spot and Sebastian Berhalter striking the winner.
- Edier Ocampo put the hosts ahead in the sixth minute by latching onto goalkeeper Yohei Takaoka’s long pass for the keeper’s first MLS assist.
- Juan Mosquera, playing his first match of the season, hammered a volley to tie it and then teed up David Da Costa for a 2-1 Timbers lead before halftime.
- Vancouver controlled the match with about 61% possession and a 21-9 shot edge, including a 9-4 advantage on target.
- The win was Vancouver’s second over Portland this season, and the Timbers’ winless run reached five even as new signing Jose Caicedo made his MLS debut.
