From Flying Kiwis. Not surprisingly MOTM against Austin, and even made MLS team of the week. Good to see a few AWs in top form.
M Boxall's goalie team mate St Clair also there after he had a big game against NY Red Bulls.
Timbers.com: “This marks Tuiloma’s first Team of the Week appearance since week four of 2018. On March 12, Tuiloma scored the game winner in the 62nd minute to lift the Timbers to a 1-0 victory over Austin FC. It was his first goal of the 2022 campaign and fifth of his career. Notably, Tuiloma and Portland did not allow a shot on goal for Austin, the highest-scoring team in the league heading into the match. The New Zealand international has started and played every minute this season, anchoring an unbeaten Portland backline.”
"This is what we worked for, during the week this is what we do in the training that we put on the field."

So just to recap here: Tuiloma’s last few weeks have seen him sign a multi-year contract extension, play every minute of the Timbers opening three games through which they’re undefeated, score the winning goal in this latest match, whip out the griddy celebration, earn MLS Team of the Week honours, and pretty soon he’ll be off to Qatar to link up with the All Whites once the international window opens. Good times.
