The Portland Timbers absolutely dominated the San Jose Earthquakes tonight, running out 2-0 winners at PayPal Park.
The Timbers, playing with a determined spirit, took the lead early in the second half. A well-worked substitution led to the first goal, and a second goal followed late in the game. This victory puts them firmly in the playoff hunt!
The Earthquakes, on the other hand, didn't seem to have the same spark. They had significant possession, but the final pass and the cutting edge were just missing tonight. Their substitutions, though well-intentioned, couldn't turn the tide. The game was marked by a few yellow cards for both teams.
Overall, a dominant performance from Portland, highlighting their consistent attacking play and clinical finishing. San Jose struggled to match their intensity, and unfortunately for them, the Timbers capitalized on their opportunities. This was a game of contrasting styles and a real testament to the unpredictability of the MLS!
