CHESTER, Pa. - The Portland Timbers conceded a pair of first-half goals, falling 3-0 on the road to the Philadelphia Union at Subaru Park on Sunday night. Following a break for international matches, the Timbers return to action, playing host to Sporting Kansas City on June 19 at Providence Park.

PHI: Kacper Przybylko (Kai Wagner), 26th minute: Wagner sent a long range free kick into the box, and Przybylko flicked a header into the back of the goal from on top of the six-yard box.

PHI: Sergio Santos (Kacper Przybylko, Kai Wagner), 31st minute: Wagner sent in a corner kick to the center of the box for Przybylko, who headed the ball toward the goal and Santos redirected it near the goal line into the back of the net.
