Timbers Drop 1-0 Result to Real Salt Lake Ending 10-Match Home Unbeaten Streak

Portland Timbers News Release


PORTLAND, Ore. - The Portland Timbers dropped a 1-0 result to Real Salt Lake, snapping their 10-match home unbeaten streak on Wednesday night at Providence Park. Following a stalemate first half, Real Salt Lake found the game winner in the 83rd minute of the match. The Timbers (9-7-6, 33 pts) face a quick turnaround as they will host Minnesota United FC for 50-Year Celebration Night on Saturday, July 19.

Home Unbeaten Streak Snapped Tonight's result snapped the Timbers 10-match home unbeaten streak. Registering six wins and four draws at home dating back to March 1, Portland collected 22 points during that period, scoring 17 goals. The loss tonight marks the Timbers' first at Providence Park since the season opener on February 23.

Milestone Watch With tonight's start, Diego Chara is just two starts away from reaching 400 all-time in MLS regular season play. Chara is set to become just the fifth field player in MLS history, and only one of two active field players currently to reach 400 starts in MLS. Notably, Chara would be the first field player to accomplish this feat with a single club.

Goal-Scoring Plays RSL - Diogo Gonçalves (Ariath Piol), 83rd minute: Ariath Piol received the ball at the semi-circle and put a through-ball into the 18-yard box for Diogo Gonçalves, who fired a right footed shot into the near post.
