Match Recap
Ariel Lassiter needed just three minutes to put Portland Timbers ahead, and Kristoffer Velde doubled the damage in the 70th as Austin fell 2-0 at home in Major League Soccer. It's a reversal nobody in Austin saw coming: the hosts had won the only previous meeting between these two clubs, yet this time the Timbers showed up in form, unbeaten in four of their last five (WWWDL) and up to eighth with 43 points, while Austin's slide continues, winless in four and stuck in 14th on 34. Lassiter's early strike set the tone before Austin could settle, and once Velde added the second midway through the second half, there was no way back for the hosts. For a team that beat Portland the last time these two met, this result stings. Watch how Lassiter springs the trap inside three minutes, then see Velde's finish that put the game away for good.
