It was a heartbreaking end to the Portland Timbers’ season as they were eliminated from the MLS playoffs by the Houston Dynamo 3-1. The Timbers had a strong regular season, finishing second in the Western Conference and earning a spot in the playoffs.
The Timbers had high hopes of making a deep run in the playoffs, but their dreams were dashed by the Dynamo. The Dynamo opened the scoring in the first half, and then added two more goals in the second half to put the game out of reach. The Timbers managed to get on the board late in the match, but it was too little too late.
The Timbers had a strong attack throughout the season, but their defense was unable to contain the Dynamo’s attack. The Dynamo’s speed and skill on the ball was too much for the Timbers to handle, and they were unable to keep up with the Dynamo’s attack.
The Timbers can take solace in the fact that they had a successful season, and that they were able to make it to the playoffs. However, they will be disappointed that they were unable to make a deeper run in the playoffs.
The Portland Timbers will now look ahead to next season, where they will hope to make another run at the MLS Cup. With a strong core of players returning, the Timbers will look to build on their success from this season and make a deeper run in the playoffs next year.
