Colorado Rapids will try to fulfill their first three-game winning streak of 2025, when they visit a Portland Timbers Side who is struggling to scoring a sudden goal.
Rapids (6-5-4, 22 digits) won a 1-0 home against Real Salt Lake and St. Louis City on the last two Saturdays.
The later win against St. Louis included a delay of about 90 minutes in the initial time for bad weather. But when the game resumed, the Rapids took the first lead on the third goal of Darren Yapi.
And rather than committing suicide to defensive weaknesses, who used to harass rapids during the five -match winner run, he kept each other with his fifth clean sheet and reserve goalkeeper Nico Hansen, while Zack Stephen recovered from a slanting issue.
“We knew that tonight, and even against Salt Lake, this organization and structure is important to us,” said Chris Armas, manager of Colorado. “When we have a ball, we must have some structures.”
Meanwhile, Timbers (6–4–5, 23 digits) have stopped scoring suddenly. Manager Phil Neville’s group has only two goals in their last five matches and has now gone for 234 scorer minutes since the Tally of Santiago Moreno, who is in 1–1 draw against rival Seattle Sounders on 17 May.
Timbers have won those five since winning 4–2 over La Galaxy on 27 April, and have not scored several goals in the league game.
In the fifth goal of Felip Mora in the 4–1 defeat in San Jose, he is placed in the team lead in MLS Play.
In a 1-0 defeat on Saturday in Orlando City, Neville thought his side had a chance to be more threatened in the second half, but many times it was not directly direct when the game was needed.
Neville said, “I am afraid of this time, to grow a little early than what we are doing,” Neville said. “We have to accept that sometimes it is not going to be right at all times. We have become a little more cruelty for us, especially four or five players in front.”
