Annoying that we lost, but the bench looked great and it is on to the next one

Portland and LAFC has continued to be an exciting match up over the years. I know San Jose is considered Portland’s main non cascadia rival, but to me LAFC is my most hated team outside of the PNW. For LAFC I’ll say that Bouanga is almost always the best player on the pitch whenever I watch him; today that was no different. He didn’t have a goal, but his control with the ball and his athleticism is almost unparalleled in MLS. Also that teenager they’ve got had a screamer. Velde played an absolutely brilliant game from start to finish. Surman was also good. Neville is barely holding on right now, but he’s earned the right to coach another week.

LAFC rested most of their team, but still a fun game and a last minute winner for the Timbers. Team is still really inconsistent but was due for a game to fall their way

Got to go to my first game in a while and it was a great atmosphere, sat kinda near the LAFC supporters so I got to see the two sides of the game. A couple hours before the game and I would have expected Portland to lose pretty bad, but when LAFC started a bunch of their bench players I gained some belief. Stats wise Portland still needs to do better but we got a really important goal in the last minute which will really improve morale in both players and fans. I will say it's very upsetting that Son( and Lloris) didn't even make an appearance in this one as he was obviously the player me and so many others came to see. I wore Timbers but I saw a lot of people wear South Korea, LAFC, and Tottenham jerseys with Son's name that are probably even more disappointed, so I think the loss was just karma for LAFC

LAFC came in still unbeaten and had not even conceded a goal yet, but that ended here. Jude Terry gets his 1st MLS goal, then Portland answers through Velde. Then right when it looked like this one might just end level, Kevin Kelsy comes through in stoppage time and steals it for the Timbers. Huge late win for Portland and LAFC finally take their 1st loss of the season in a 2-1 game that felt way more dramatic at the end
