Portland Timbers (9th in the West) host Vancouver Whitecaps (10th).

Tuiloma on the bench. Looks like he's back to being relegated as the team's 3rd choice CB, behind MabialaŽuparić, as he was for most of last season, including MLS finals.

Tuiloma on the bench again. Great at scoring goals in the MLS, but not so good with his core defensive duties as the 2 guys currently ahead of him?

Edit - Timbers with a 2-1 win. Tuiloma came on at 76 mins (same score)

Timbers (8th in the West) with only a few days break after that 4-4 thriller in Minnesota, host Nashville (7th).

Be interesting to see if Tuiloma gets a start, after a leaky Portland conceded 4 last time out.

95th minute penalty to the Timbers after VAR intervention. Initial shot is saved before the rebound is calmly put away.

You think that'd be it, and three points secured for Portland.
Think again 😅



1-1 after 100 minutes. Points shared. Wow!

Big win for Portland over their arch rivals, and they go up to 7th into the playoff spots - though teams below them have games in hand.

A true Bill Tuiloma ™️ goal
Has to be about the best Kiwi going about his business overseas at the minute. 

Boxy isn't doing too bad over in Minnesota either I suppose.

Both Kiwi CBs are starting. Tuiloma will be happier as Timbers lead 1-0 at 65 mins.

Asprilla gets in front of Boxall to head in the winning goal.

4th straight win for Portland (45 pts) to overtake Minnesota into 5th. Minny drop to 6th (44 pts) with their 3rd straight loss, though have a game in hand.

Most unintended assist ever! 😆
Ball comes out, Tuiloma battles for possession with a Columbus player before tumbling to the ground with the ball falling for the goal scorer Moreno - who, basically from point blank range then kicks it directly at a prone Tuiloma's head! The ball bounces back to Moreno fortuitously, and he laces it from 25 yards to earn the Timbers a point on their travels!

Incredible.
This footage shows it from a couple of different angles. ⬇️

That all happened in 95th min, adding to the drama!

Socceroo CB Milos Degenek a full game for Columbus. Were a few Socceroo v AW club matchups over the weekend.

With the point Portland go above Boxall's Minny into 5th on the ladder (MLS West). The 2 MLS Kiwis now sharing a flight to Brissy (with Adams & Wynne)?

Effectively a knock out round for the final round next week in order to make the playoffs.

Portland travel to Utah to take on RSL, while Minnesota host Vancouver. Winner takes all affairs, which is what you want to see when playoffs and finals series are involved. Right down to the wire stuff. Minnesota probably the most precarious having not won in 6 and seemingly have fluffed their lines as they stumble towards making the top 7 in the West.

Of course we'll be backing the Kiwi lads in for those ones, yeah?

Decision Day in the MLS tomorrow with Timbers (6th, 46 pts) travelling to Real Salt Lake (8th, 44 pts).

Basically a mirror image of Minny (7th) hosting Vancouver (9th) - but Portland unlike Minny don't have home advantage.

Tuiloma a full game in a 3-1 loss to Real Salt Lake (RSL). 

Sadly for the Timbers they miss out on the MLS playoffs as both RSL (go 7th) and Minny with their win (go to 6th) and overtake them.

Portland brutally finish the regular season in 8th (GD 0), 1 point behind RSL (GD -2).

Tuiloma played 30 games, with 24 starts & 6 goals. A NZ summer awaits I'm guessing.
