Video Review And PK Help Loons Sink Timbers In Waning Moment

At St. Paul, Minnesota:

Following a video review that showed defenseman Larrys Mabiala committed a handball fowl in his team's penalty area, Ethan Finlay converted his freshly-awarded penalty kick in the second minute of second-half stoppage time on Sunday as Minnesota United defeated the Portland Timbers 1-0 in Major League Soccer action.

The Timbers will face the Loons again this coming Wednesday in a US Open Cup semifinal match at Allianz Field in St. Paul (5:00 PM Pacific Time, ESPN+) before opening a ten-match MLS homestand this coming Saturday as they host the Vancouver Whitecaps in a Cascadia Cup clash (8:00 PM Pacific Time, Timbers TV Network via KPDX, Portland-Vancouver, ESPN+).
