g+ GameFlow: MLS Regular Season LA Galaxy v Portland Timbers FC on April 27, 2025. #LAGvPOR ⚽️🤖
think the timbers might have got one of those dodgy calls against back… #LAGvPOR
oh. oh, shit. LA, ih, scores again. too damn easy. 3-2 ballgame. sweaty pits time. #LAGvPOR
shhh. sshhhh. ssssshhhhhhhh. Nothing happened.
(Fine LA scored. Pretty good combo. 3-1.) #LAGvPOR
GodDAMN, what a GOAL! Antony having a damn game, Da Costa putting a bow on it, Kelsy slamming it home! 3-0 Timbers! It’s the prophecy!! (It’s not the prophecy…) #rctid #LAGvPOR
And…hey! Might have been the smoothest full-spectrum sequence of 2025. After a spell of constructive possession in LA’s half, the Timbers sink back, absorb an attack and bag a smooth(ish) second goal with a counter. Clean finish, tho. 2-0 Timbers! #rctid #LAGvPOR
The whole “there has been just one shot on goal”
narrative says a lot. #LAGvPOR
AT THE HALF:
Cagey as I expected, with LA flying into everything could as if their jobs depend on it. (Which they almost certainly do.)
Good on the Timbers for taking a lead! That could be enough (let that be enough), what with LA running around without a brain. #LAGvPOR #rctid
The Timbers give a live demonstration on why a team should never give up on a play. What started with a smart feed,
almost got throttled by a bad cross(?). Antony runs it down, pops it up and cuts it back to Da Costa. Good finish, better goal, 1-0 to the Timbers! #LAGvPOR #rctid
Very little on the sharp end of the field, but there are gaps all over (especially for LA) and some *hard* tackling.
Desperate teams kick and tackle harder… #LAGvPOR
ORTIZ! More of that always and often!!! #LAGvPOR
