Timbers beat LAFC 2-1. Portland’s run of clean sheets ends. Though was a class strike by LAFC striker.
Actually from highlights this was a quality match. Portland's home games look like fun - and nice celebration for their 2nd goal.

Gleeson on the bench.
In potentially good news for Tuiloma, Liam Ridgewell only lasted 6 mins before being replaced. Obviously an injury, who knows how bad.
Not playing for Timbers II who have just kicked off. So presume back with MLS side who play Colorado later on, in a big game for Mr Hudson
He posted an Instagram story captioned Denver, Colorado, so safe to assume he's in the match day squad
Starting at right back today against the Galaxy, currently 1-0 down.
Subbed off in injury time. Was at fault for the goal. 1-1 final score

Tuiloma has a header saved late. Hopefully he can get a few more starts.
Both Tuiloma and Gleeson stay on the bench as Portland and Kansas draw 0-0.

Love the smoke machines for Atlanta's goal celebrations. An idea for the Nix re creating some extra game atmosphere.

Tuiloma gets a run today for Timbers II (coached by Cameron Knowles), in the USL - presumably to keep his fitness up.
They host Fresno FC, who don't have Cory Brown in their match day squad. Brown was subbed at half time, a few weeks back and hasn't played since - so maybe currently injured.
Tuiloma plays 90 mins, and picks up a yellow as Timbers II get beaten 4-2 by Fresno.
Finishes 0-0. No minutes for either of the Kiwis.
Timbers are tracking very well in the Western Conference. Lie 4th, but have at least 2 games in hand over all the 3 teams (Dallas, LAFC & Sporting KC) above them. They are on a great 14 game unbeaten run - since about the time Gleeson was replaced in goal by Attinella!
Last loss was against Orlando way back in April, when they blew a 2-0 lead at Orlando, conceding 3 very late goals in 7 mins.
So is obviously hard for Tuiloma to break into the starting lineup currently.
Portland play at LAFC again midweek, this time in the US Open Cup.
Timbers beat Phili Union 3-0, to go 2nd in Western Conference behind Dallas. Portland have 2 games in hand.
Both Tuiloma and Gleeson on the bench.
Sitting on the bench vs Marinovic's Whitecaps today. Currently down 2-0

Rooney bagged a double for DC.
Wheels felling off somewhat at Timbers.
Lose 3-0 at Sporting KC. Tuiloma subbed on at HT, when Portland already 2 goals down.
Not required off the bench as Timbers lose 0-1 to Seattle.
4 losses in a row for Portland.
Portland draw 1-1 at New England.
Tuiloma subbed on at 78 mins, when already 1–1.
Two days after being an unused sub in MSL, starts for Timbers II against Tulsa.
Timbers II lead 3-0 at HT, Tuiloma with first goal - header I presume?
Have a feeling he is too good for USL, but may need to move to a weaker team (Colorado?), to be a regular MSL starter.

Finished 4-0. Full 90 mins for Tuiloma.
Well taken header!
Needs to move on from the Timbers. He has played decently when featured in the first team and seems to be too good for the USL, should try look at another MLS team.
