Maxi's First Goal Carries Timbers To Victory At Galaxy's Expense

At Portland, Oregon:

Maximiliamo Urruti scored his first goal for his new team in the 52nd minute as the Portland Timbers defeated the Los Angeles Galaxy 1-0 in Sunday Major League Soccer action at home.

Robbie Keane's second-half stoppage-time equalizer for the Galaxy was disallowed as he was flagged for being offside.

The Timbers, who took a step closer to clinching their first-ever MLS era playoff berth by grabbing their franchise record 12th win of the season, tightened their hold on third place in the Western Conference standings.

Portland will travel to Vancouver for a Casacadia Cup clash against the Whitecaps next Sunday at 5:00 PM Pacific Time (ROOT Sports Northwest).
