g+ GameFlow: MLS Next Pro Regular Season Portland Timbers 2 v Austin FC II on June 20, 2025. #PORvATX ⚽️🤖

David da Costa was everywhere for the #PortlandTimbers, but after three key passes went nowhere, he said "fine I'll do it myself" with a beautiful shot-maybe-cross free kick freezer.

#AustinFC could not reproduce the same luck from deep. Wait. Is that a corner set piece to a 25 yard shot?

#PORvATX

Grappling the possibility that I’m watching two mediocre teams playing some JV shit.

Wait, just heard the broadcast booth talk up how sound the defenses have been.

Sure about that read, champ?

Win, lose or draw, there’s work to do. For both teams. #rctid #PORvATX

I hope this is mostly Ortiz adjusting to the turf, because it is *loose* so far.

After a grand opening 10-12 minutes, the game has returned to the familiar white-knuckle experience.

I’m on my way, home sweet home. #PORvATX #rctid

The only positive is that I have a pretty good handle on a quick bundle of talking points.

The game was better than the result, but not by much?

I dunno, let me know if that feels right? I guess? #rctid #MLS #PORvATX
