DV8 Helps Timbers Dominate Lions At Home

At Portland, Oregon:

Diego Valeri scored twice (PK-15', 59') and Darren Mattocks once (29') as the Portland Timbers dominated visiting Orlando City 3-0 in Sunday Major League Soccer action.

The Lions, with Jonathan Spector (47' after collecting his second yellow card) and Victor Giro (85' after a straight red card) being tossed out of the match by referee Baldomero Toledo,  ended the game with nine men as their playoff hopes are flickering away while the Timbers find themselves in second place in the Western Conference standings, one point behind front-running Vancouver.

The Timbers' next match is against the Earthquakes at San Jose this coming Saturday night at 7:30 PM (to aired over the Timbers' broadcast TV network via KPDX, Portland-Vancouver).
