Timbers Knock Off Citizens In The Bronx, Take Over Top Spot In West Standings

At New York:

In Saturday Major League Soccer action, Deigo Valeri's goal in the 44th minute lifted the Portland Timbers to a 1-0 road victory over New York City----and first place in the Western Conference standings.

DV8 became only the fourth player in MLS history to scored at least one goal in seven straight games.  He also set a Timbers MLS-era single-season record with his 17th tally of 2017.

Jeff Attinella came up with three saves to preserve the shutout and the Portland victory while his NYC FC counterpart Sean Johnson put together a gallant performance with seven saves.

The Timbers' next contest is on the road against Real Salt Lake at 6:30 PM Pacific Time (Timbers Broadcast TV Network via KPDX-TV, Portland-Vancouver).
