12 Just 12 minutes into his Timbers debut, forward Brian Fernandez scored the game-tying goal. It is the quickest goal ever scored by a Timbers player in his MLS debut.
108 Fernandez wasn't the only player making his Timbers debut with midfielder Renzo Zambrano playing the full 90 minutes in his first MLS match. The Timbers now have had 108 different players see the field in a league match since joining MLS in 2011.
