The Storyline
Timbers2 (4-6-8, 23pts) come into the match on back-to-back shootouts. They came from behind to draw Real Monarchs before playing to a 0-0 draw against Ventura County FC, handing the Southern California side their first shootout loss of the season. Still in ninth place, Portland is just four points back from a playoff spot. Josh Penn continues to lead the team in goals (5) and assists (4) with midfielder Kyle Linhares right behind (4g, 3a).
SKCII (7-7-4, 27pts) are just ahead of T2, with a high-scoring offense that is second in the conference with 37 goals scored but have also allowed the second most goals against (37). They are led by forwards Kamron Habibullah (7g, 5a) and Beto Avila (8g, 2a), while Sebastian Cruz is tied for the league lead in assists (10).
