Sebastian BLANCO scored a great goal for Portland Timbers as Diego VALERI scored a goal in extra time to take them to the final of the MLS Cup against Tata MARTINO’s Atlanta United.
With Portland trailing 1-0 against Sporting KC, Sebastian BLANCO scored one of the goals of the season with an absolute wonder goal to draw Portland level. Diego VALERI gave the Timbers a 2-1 lead with a goal from inside the penalty area. But just a few minutes from full time, Gerso FERNANDES scored to make it 2-2 and for extra time.
