The Portland Timbers U19 side was dominant to kick off the year, as they have won all 10 matches on their schedule to open 2025. The 10 wins all came in impressive fashion, with Portland outscoring opponents 45-9 across those matches.

Portland’s competition has also been stiff, as two of those wins came against MLS academies Real Salt Lake (4-3 on Feb. 1) and rivals Seattle Sounders FC (4-1 on Feb. 9). The man of the match in both those contests was 2024 MLS NEXT All-Star presented by Allstate Max Eisenberg, who scored five goals across the two games. Eisenberg is currently committed to Oregon State and previously made his MLS NEXT Pro debut in 2024.
