The Portland Timbers gave up an early goal against the Seattle Sounders in their first Cascadia match of the season, going down 1-0. Unlike previous years, the Timbers fought back the whole match, and their efforts were rewarded with a dramatic equalizer in the 90th minute. The game ended in a 1-1 draw — an excellent result on the road in a venue known for being hostile. Each team takes a point in the league standings and the Cascadia Cup competition.

The Timbers play their next Cascadia match in British Columbia on May 18 against Vancouver. Portland and the Sounders meet again in Seattle on August 25.

The Timbers debuted their Rose City Red kits this evening. Here are some of the highlights from the match:
