Portland host Chicago Fire in MLS, and are 2-0 up at HT.
Tuiloma starts on the bench, but is subbed on at 35 mins for his Francophile mate Mabiala, with Timbers already up by 2.
Finished 3-2 Timbers, though Chicago score their 2nd at 92 mins.
Actually good effort from the Fire who played last 60 odd mins with ten men.
Mabiala's injury might open the door for Tuiloma to get a run of games as a starter.
Portland up to 7th, and into the playoff spots. They have 2 games in hand on Dallas (1 pt behind), who are probably their main threat to missing the playoffs. Regular season finishes 7th October.
MLS final is on Nov 10th, and AWs play Ireland Nov 14th. So even if either Minnesota or Portland make the big dance, Boxall and Tuiloma should be available for the AWs, at least for the 2nd match in Lithuania (Nov 17th).
