From highlights looks like Vancouver dominated, and Tuiloma (number 25) was a busy boy in defence.

There was a lot of confusion in that last regular season game vs. the Whitecaps on the part of the media identifying players.

(Probably because the Timbers fielded so many reserves)

MLS Highlights Show this week on Duke identified Tuiloma as responsible for the error which gave away the second goal.

However, the local Vancouver newspaper identifies a different player as being responsible:

 The Province: “He opened the scoring in the 28th minute in quintessential Davies style — he collected the ball in his own zone and turned on the afterburners. He blew past Portland’s Lawrence Olum like an afterthought, raced toward the box, cut in front of Bill Poni Tuiloma and hit a banger from the top of the circle past Jeff Attinella. Three minutes later, Timbers fullback Marco Farfan tried to control the ball in his own box, only to have Davies pick his pocket and score his second goal of the game.”

So, who's correct?

Farfan definitely makes the error for the 2nd goal. It's Tuiloma (no 25) lunging in too late to try and block Davies shot.

Maybe you could blame BT a somewhat for the first goal, but Davies is a future big star, and off to Bayern Munich at age 18.

Tuiloma got to play 30 mins against Dallas in the elimination game midweek, whilst Farfan wasn't in the match day squad if that means anything.

RSL have just beaten LAFC 3-2 (like Portland they won on the road) in the other Western Conference elimination game. Won after 8 mins of added time.

So looks like Timbers will play home & away against Seattle in their Conference semi playoffs now. Two big derby games in the Pacific North West. First game is in Portland on Monday morning NZ time, and with Mabiala suspended after his red card against Dallas, Tuiloma must be a good chance of starting the 1st leg.
