Timbers fall to the Rhinos 1 nil

The Timbers controlled much of the second half, but could not overcome a 22nd minute goal by Kenold Versailles. Isaac Kissi poked the ball for Versailles who blasted a shot past Cronin from outside the box. The Timbers only managed to get one shot on goal in the first half.

Early in the 2nd half the Rhinos were rewarded a PK, on a hazy foul. In what looked to be physical match, the awarded PK seem unjustified, but maybe the future replay will show different. Never the less, Ryan Heins choked on the pk and Cronin made a great save.

The Timbers came out attacking in the 2nd half and in 2010 fashion put 9 shots on goal to no avail. Lopez had two solid free kicks that were on frame, and forced the Rhino's keeper Neal Kitson to make the saves.

The Timbers return to PGE Park this Wednesday to face the NSC Minnesota Stars after a season long four game road trip. They managed to get only 4 points out of a total of 12 possible on this trip. Hopefully a return to playing in front of all the Timber faithful will get us 3 points this Wednesday.
