The Storyline

Timbers2 played to a 1-1 draw Wednesday night against The Town FC, and collected the additional penalty kick shootout point after coming out on top 4-3 from spot kicks. T2 Goalkeeper Lukas Burns not only made his professional debut, but showed his penalty instincts by saving three takes in the shootout to help secure two Green and Gold points on the night.

By the end of the night there were two more Timbers Academy products that saw their T2 debuts: Maximo Nystrom and Hudson Tate. The total number of Academy debuts for T2 this season is now seven.

Whitecaps FC 2 earned an opening night draw at LAFC 2 with a 4-2 PK Shooout win, and are coming off a 3-2 defeat at North Texas SC - both on the road. After 12 all-time matches between the two sides, Saturday brings the opportunity for T2 to even the series, with a record of 4-5-3 against 'Caps 2.
