Nagbe also scored against Dallas in the 2013 U.S. Open Cup.
42 Midfield stalwart Diego Chara leads MLS for tackles this season with 42. Chara, who had the second-most tackles in MLS in both the 2013 and 2014 seasons, is one tackle ahead of NYCFC's Ronald Matarrita for the 2016 lead.
16Winger Lucas Melano has a club-high 16 successful dribbles, which is the eighth-most in MLS play this year and one more than teammate Nagbe.
9 Along with his 32 career MLS goals, forward Fanendo Adi's nine career assists for the Timbers places him seventh on the club's MLS-era assist charts.
