Gaston Scores Twice As Timbers Knock Off SKC On Road To Get Crack At Sounders In US Open Cup Quarterfinals

At Kansas City, Kansas:

Gaston Fernandez scored twice (30', 68') on Tuesday night as the Portland Timbers knocked off Sporting Kansas City 3-1 on the road in the fifth round of the US Open Cup.

Will Johnson successfully converted a penalty kick in the 57th minute to add to the Timbers' coffers.

The Timbers will take on the Seattle Sounders on July 9 at Tukwila, Washington in the tournament's quarterfinal round.

In the interim, Portland's next Major League Soccer contest will be at home this Saturday night against Sporting Kansas City (8:00 PM Pacific Time, ROOT Sports Northwest).
