Match Report
May 18th  Seattle 1 Portland 0
First I must say why am I doing a match report with such great weather outside? I must be Nuts?
Portland came out soft as if Seattle had ther numbers and sure enough in the 15th minute Marco Vele put it in the net for the Sounders. The Timbers failed to clear the ball out the box which gave too many chances for the Sounders to put one in and they did. The Sounders had better control and build up through out the match. Timbers keeper Curtis Spiteri made a great save on a breakawy in the second half to keep the Timbers close. Tenneyson made some good moves including this one below.
For the third time this season the Sounders come out with a victory. Players that looked good in the match were Aaron Heinzen, Fadi Afash, Curtis Spiteri and Gavin Wilkinson. Players that came on that looked good were Jake Vaughn, Jason Melendez and Manuel Brasil. Get the full match report from Allison Andrews a Timber Rattlers
