Santiago Moreno (LW) - 9 - Direct, creative, and ruthlessly effective. Yimmi Chara (CAM) - 8 - Took up all sorts of dangerous positions playing just underneath Mora and seemed to have limitless energy reserves. Marvin Loria (RW) - 7 - Faded in the second half, but was a real menace for the RSL backline in the opening 30 minutes. #RCTID /BtIM068HRs- Portland Timbers December 5, 2021ĭiego Chara (CM) - 7 - His usual rock-solid self defensively, and always quick to drive the Timbers forward once he'd turned the ball over.Ĭristhian Paredes (CM) - 8 - Played out of the RSL press brilliantly and was the perfect link between defense and attack for Portland. Made a match-high six tackles, as well as three clearances and nine recoveries. Larrys Mabiala (CB) - 7 - Solid defensively and tidy with the ball.ĭario Zuparic (CB) - 8 - Totally dominant and set Moreno away for the second goal with a nice scooped pass over the RSL midfield.Ĭlaudio Bravo (LB) - 8 - Had a lot of work to do with Herrera driving down the RSL right but coped brilliantly. Josecarlos Van Rankin (RB) - 7 - Had a pretty quiet night with RSL attacking much more down their right flank.

Here is how every player rated on Saturday: Portland Timbers player ratings Goalkeeper & defenders The Timbers now await the winner of Sunday's match between the Philadelphia Union and NYCFC as they look to win MLS Cup for the first time since 2015 - they lost in the final against Atlanta United in 2018. Salt Lake's night was truly ended when Herrera was sent off for a second yellow card offense in the 79th minute. RSL tried to apply some more pressure as the game went on but, as he had been all night, Steve Clark was equal to everything thrown at him between the sticks. And Portland got the job done after the break with Santiago Moreno driving forward through the middle and rattling the post, only for the ball to hit the back of David Ochoa and end up in the net. Giovanni Savarese's side opened the scoring within five minutes as Felipe Mora profited from some shoddy defending by Aaron Herrera to find the bottom corner.īoth sides traded periods of pressure after that, but it always felt like the Timbers had RSL at arm's length. The Portland Timbers booked their place at MLS Cup with a dominant 2-0 win over Real Salt Lake in Saturday's Western Conference semi-final.
