Portland Timbers vs. St. Louis CITY SC | 8 Goal Thriller! | Full Match Highlights | August 24, 2024

stepping into that back line Ayala will sit next to Diego Char that should provide plenty of cover in front of that back line tonight for the team he's been really good in training and proving himself although Yaro has been strong he wanted to get K uh Kesler on the field but it was St Louis city who got a win against Portland to get that far in the tournament in the round of 32 we're underway tonight here in Portland Oregon City and the Timbers clashing Goa Meda during the summer so still yet to record his first MLS shut up Evander from distance and that's easy for berky in the end as he shuffles to his left like that turn early on that's a way to get the crowd into [Music] the near post ball and it's headed in just like that corner kicks from White area a real weakness for the Portland Timbers just not enough physical play in there where BET's able to secondary service intended for Aro [Music] here is Evander one more time entry pass for M big save from burky is there a second bite of the Cherry Moreno will send it [Music] in and now here's a transition moment toyir waits for the overlapping run it's Bater looking for his second and a point to the Penalty spot I think that is a point to the spot after the tackle from Aro if you take a look here just releases that ball at the first time good first touch out in front of him and naho just going right through him we'll see a little bit more here as we slow it down and 100% of penalty just arriving so late getting Beer's foot stuck under him B actually does a great job of releasing that as quickly as possible kpo can he come up with a big save here it's Luben it's two nothing for St Louis city and the confidence is brimming same way you can guess the right direction but I'm going top bins just an Unstoppable we're in the top of their form going into leagues cup early ball for Mora tries to knot it down and that one's pushed just wide by Santi Moreno with we'll see if they can come back to life here tonight the gold would certainly changed the complexity of the halftime talk it's Mora into the back post and there it is on Q second best buildup play of the night look how quickly they attack with Pace Vander committed to lay that ball off put them into a dangerous position with the long ball forward for thers nods it down there for beter toyir out in front and here comes the right footed shot from harle Saved By CR po and it starts the movement back the other way but only for a moment for the Timbers Durkin thoris big save from kpo using the left paw to Parry it away and out for the second corner of this first half they'll tee up their second out toward the penalty spot right footed effort and it's in individual efforts you see this inswinger come in but it's actually clipped to the back post nobody on him and there but a huge effort and a fantastic goal and a big moment for St Louis City to go up 3-1 before the half out in front and a chance to pull one right back and it bangs off the woodwork tougher to not score than it is to score right there for Felipe MOA as Rodriguez comes Central here and has that shot deflected out wide to Mosa secondary service onto the feet of MAA in front for Evander and a massive save from bori three four players forward in hopes that you commit too many numbers forward and now they're springing out in transition Len weighted ball over the top it's totan just inside the edge of the 18 on the return pass and the Norwegian outside back offside as the flag immediately goes up block it all off but you can see at time St Louis are going to continue to press higher up the field quick throw Sparks the attack in front B he's denied by burki and that's why the Swiss keeper is a two-time MLS Allstar trying to serve it into the back post it's a good ball headed in front and Mora will pull one back right back to the middle of the park and it's an easy tap in for Moa on the head to bring this Stadium back to life and bring this game much closer together Brazilian designated player has a goal contribution as he assists that goal for Mora thoris to the th side and right back I told you it might take four Brilliance not enough pressure on the ball quick enough you stand off him I do think they found some success Moreno spinning onto his left foot will leave it for Evander back onto his right and Evander right out in front and it's pulled back Louis City have to make decisions who steps who stays they create space for themselves and that ball has just enough bend on it berky unable to gobble that and it looks like maybe Phil Neville going to go to his bench one more time as Mason toy is awaiting to come in headed to the back post it in and hang on a minute hang on a minute referee Ramy tan immediately went over to The Far Side AR couldn't hold the possession Portland battling to try and win it and Williamson will Durkin and a red car for Felipe Mora delicious but we'll see here oh that right there at the end deep on his line Evander looking for the near Oh my days gaso I mean look at him line up over this one even with berky trying to cheat a little bit he waits the Timbers never drew level until second half stoppage time and threw an absolute Banger from a Ander their star designated player they find a point
