MLS CUP PLAYOFFS: First meeting.

PORTLAND TIMBERS v SPORTING KANSAS CITY

The Timbers make their return to the MLS Cup Playoffs under scintillat-ing form, having won three games in a row, and having scored nine goals over their last two matches. The Timbers had scored 10 goals total over their previous 13 matches, dating back to the start of July. "We get

three wins in a row and now we are the three seed. We’re not just getting in, we are not just satisfied with getting in, and that was never the case. We are in the playoffs in a position of strength which means we get a home game. Nothing is guaranteed but it gives us a good chance to make a run here," said Timbers head coach Caleb Porter. "I think with the way the guys are playing right now, I wouldn’t bet against them because we are getting the balance right. We’ve defended well all year, but now we are scoring goals. When you get those things right and you get momentum heading into the playoffs, you like your chances.” ... The win was also the first at Providence Park since August for the Timbers, snapping a four-game winless run. ... Darlington Nagbe concluded the season with second career two-goal game (the first coming March 31, 2012 vs. Real Salt Lake). Nagbe also added an assist; over the final two games, he had three goals and the assist. "To be effective as an attacker you’ve got to create and produce goals and he’s showing that now in addition to keeping the ball and helping us with possession and causing problems for the opponent," said Porter. "He’s causing problems by scoring. He’s stepped up. He’s not waiting for things to happen he’s making them happen and that’s what makes him scary when he plays like that.” ... Jorge Villafana scored his first league goal of the season in the finale -- marking now six consecutive seasons where he's scored one goal over the league campaign. ... Fanendo Adi scored his 16th goal, now with a goal in three consecutive games, with four goals over that time. Adi has six goals over the last five games (with a pair of two-goal outings in that span). ... Rodney Wallace recorded an assist for a second consecutive game, his third assist in the last five matches, all since he returned to the starting lineup in an attacking wide role.

Sporting put an end to a two-game losing run in securing their place in the Audi 2015 MLS Cup Playoffs, reaching the postseason for a fifth consecutive season. Over the course of this season we've been extremely competitive. I also think that there is a mental toughness in our group that is at times incredible, and at times maybe we've been a little inconsistent with it. ... What I do think is that whenever it's time that we have to get something done, we have been pretty good at the plate," said Sporting man-ager Peter Vermes. ... The main talking point immediately prior to the match was the dropping of Benny Feilhaber to the substitutes' bench. Feilhaber came on at halftime -- and his assist set up the match-winning goal that sent Sporting through. "I don't think he had enough in his gas tank to go 90 minutes. Better to use him in the second half and come on and do what he did. ... It was a deci-sion based off of physical data from the last game, it was based on watching video from the last game, it was based on a lot of different variables. But at the end of the day, for us I know it was the right decision," said Vermes. ... Feilhaber ended the season with 15 assists, second-most in the league, behind Toronto FC's Sebastian Giovinco. Feilhaber recorded 20 assists in all competitions for Sporting this season, a club record. ... Kevin Ellis scored his fourth goal of the season, his first since Aug. 15, netting the opener -- the first goal scored by Sporting in three matches, snapping a 225-minute goalless drought. ... Dom Dwyer netted his 12th goal of the season, his first since Sept. 27. He has 34 goals in 64 games over the last two seasons in league play. "We have some incredible attacking players as well, and Dom's finish -- the way he made his run, his calmness in the box -- it was a little like Houston a couple years ago when we won the [Eastern Conference Championship in 2013]. Calmness and experience -- everything came into play." Said Dwyer: "I knew Benny was look-ing for me. He's our playmaker; he's a guy who can find that pass. So I knew I just had to make a good run and try to stay onside. I knew he'd find me a pass and I'd finish it off."

Providence Park opened on April 14, 2011, in front of a sold-out crowd in the Timbers first-ever home match as an MLS team. The club proceeded to sell out all of its regular-season home games in the team’s first four MLS seasons. Spanning the 2013 and 2014 seasons, the Timbers compiled an MLS-club record 22-game unbeaten streak (12-0-10) at Providence Park from April 6, 2013 to June 1, 2014. The streak ranks as the third-longest all-time in MLS history.

LAST MATCH RECAPThe Timbers secured the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference and a spot in the Audi 2015 MLS Cup Playoffs as midfielder Darlington Nagbe tallied two goals and one assist to help lead Portland to a 4-1 win against the Colorado Rapids in front of a sellout crowd of 21,144 fans on Sunday evening at Provi-dence Park. Portland finished the regular-season schedule with three consecu-tive wins to set a new MLS-club record mark for wins (15) in a single season.

CATEGORICAL WON-LOST-TIED HEAD COACH CALEB PORTERHead coach Caleb Porter is in his third season with the club in 2015 after guiding the Portland Timbers to record-setting campaigns in his first two years in MLS. Guiding the team to an impressive turnaround season and the club’s first-ever MLS postseason appearance in 2013, Porter helped direct a record-setting offense in 2014 as the Timbers netted 61 regular-season goals, a club record across all eras.

He was announced as the Timbers head coach on Aug. 29, 2012, and joined the club ahead of the 2013 MLS campaign. Porter received the Slats Gill Award for Sportsperson of the Year at the Oregon Sports Awards on March 9, 2014, becoming the fourth soccer-related figure to receive the award since it was founded in 1957. On Aug. 6, 2014, Porter helped guide the MLS All-Stars to a 2-1 win over German power Bayern Munich in the 2014 AT&T MLS All-Star Game at Providence Park in Portland.

The 2013 MLS Coach of the Year award winner, Porter has compiled one of the league’s top winning percentages among active MLS head coaches with a 41-25-36 mark (.578) after leading Portland to double-digits wins in each of his first two seasons. The 25 losses in his first 100 career games as an MLS head coach ranks tied for the fewest losses with San Jose’s Dominic Kinnear among all MLS coaches who have reached 100 or more games in the league. Under Porter’s guidance, the Timbers have made Providence Park one of the toughest places to play in the league, registering an impres-sive regular-season mark of 24-7-20 at Providence Park over the last two-plus seasons. In 2014, the Timbers netted a team-record 61 goals while compiling one of the highest point totals (44) across the final two-thirds of the regular season – recording the highest goal differential (plus-9) of any non-playoff team in MLS history. Portland also made its first appearance in CONCACAF Champions League, contesting matches against Alpha United of Guyana and C.D. Olimpia of Honduras during the competi-tion’s group stage.

During Porter’s first season as head coach in 2013, the Timbers assembled one of the biggest turna-round seasons in MLS. In comparison to 2012 totals, the Timbers assembled a 23-point improvement in points and an MLS-record 43-goal improvement in goal differential. Portland’s five losses during the 2013 regular season tied for the fewest in MLS history in a 34-game season and the Timbers led the league with 15 shutouts. The Timbers recorded a 15-game, home unbeaten streak during the 2013 regular season, posting a league-best 11-1-5 home record at Providence Park and an MLS single-season record 11 home shutouts. In 2013, Portland qualified for the MLS Cup Playoffs for the first time since joining the league in 2011. Additionally, the Timbers made their deepest run in club history in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in 2013 under Porter’s guidance, reaching the semifinals of the tournament.

Prior to joining the Timbers, Porter was one of the most successful coaches in NCAA history during his tenure as head coach at the University of Akron (2006-12). He compiled a career mark of 123-18-17 and was named 2009 NSCAA National Coach of the Year. Porter led the Zips to back-to-back NCAA Col-lege Cup appearances (2009, 2010) and the school’s first national title in any sport in 2010.

Porter’s coaching career also includes time as the head coach of the U.S. U-23 Men’s National Team during 2012 CONCACAF Olympic qualifying and three years as an assistant coach on the U.S. U-18 National Team (2009-11). Porter was an assistant coach for six years (2000-05) at Indiana University.

As a player, Porter was the 27th overall pick by the San Jose Clash in the 1998 MLS College Draft. He spent time with San Jose and the Tampa Bay Mutiny before a knee injury ended his professional play-ing career in 2000. He also played for the U.S. National B Team from 1996-97, winning a bronze medal at the 1997 World University Games. As a player at Indiana, he was a three-year captain and led the Hoosiers to four conference titles. Porter was the runner-up for the 1997 Hermann Trophy.

Porter graduated from Indiana in 1998 with a degree in sports management. He and his wife, Andrea, have three children – two sons, Colin and Jake, and a daughter, Stella..

THURSDAY, OCT. 29, 2015


SCOUTING SPORTING KCSporting Kansas City enters the postseason following a 2-1 win against the LA Galaxy on Sunday at Sporting Park in Kansas City, Kan. Forward Dom Dwyer’s strike in the 65th minute lifted Sporting Kansas City to the win over the defend-ing MLS Cup-champion Galaxy and into the playoffs for the fifth consecutive year. Head coach Peter Vermes’ side won the league’s title in 2013, defeating Real Salt Lake on penalty kicks in a dramatic final, but struggled down the stretch this season with just three wins in their final 12 regular-season games. Dwyer leads the club with 12 goals, while midfielder Benny Feilhaber has tallied 10 goals and 15 assists. Forward Krisztian Nemeth has chipped in 10 goals in his first season with the club.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Timbers midfielder Darlington Nagbe was named Major League Soccer Player of the Week by the North American Soccer Reporters (NASR) for Week 34 of the 2015 MLS season, it was announced on Tuesday. Nagbe, 25, registered a first-half brace and added an assist to help guide the Timbers to a 4-1 win against the Colorado Rapids on Sunday at Providence Park. This marks Nagbe’s first MLS Player of the Week award as he also becomes the sixth different Timbers player to earn the honor since 2011. Additionally, it is the second straight week a Timbers player has earned the award after forward Fanendo Adi was named NASR MLS Player of the Week for Week 33 of the regular season.

SOLID DEFENDING

The Timbers defense finished the season tied for first in MLS with 13 clean sheets in 34 games. Over the last three seasons, Portland has registered the most shutouts (35) among all MLS teams.

SCORING FIRST

Portland finished as the best team in the league when scoring the all-important opening goal this season. The Timbers registered an undefeated 14-0-2 overall record when scoring first and were one of just two teams (Houston, 10-0-4) to have never lost after scoring the opening goal.

LATE-SEASON FORM

Since the 2013 season, the Timbers have posted a regular-season record of 13-3-7 overall during the months of September and October, including a mark of 7-2-4 at Providence Park.

PLAYOFF EXPERIENCE

The Timbers roster features 76 combined games of MLS Cup Playoffs experi-ence with defender Nat Borchers (23 appearances) leading the way. Midfielder Will Johnson (18) is second, while midfielder Jack Jewsbury (13) ranks third in career postseason appearances. Borchers and Johnson helped Real Salt Lake win the 2009 MLS Cup in penalty kicks against the LA Galaxy, while Borchers also helped guide Real Salt Lake to the 2013 MLS Cup as RSL lost on penalty kicks to Sporting Kansas City. Jewsbury started and played 66 minutes for the Kansas City Wizards (now Sporting KC) in the 2004 MLS Cup as Kansas City lost 3-2 against D.C. United.

CONSISTENCY

Over the last three seasons, the Timbers have compiled regular-season point totals of 57 (2013), 49 (2014) and 53 (2015), reaching the postseason in two of the last three years. Over that span of time, Portland’s combined point total (159) ranks as the fourth most in MLS, behind only the New York Red Bulls (169), Seattle Sounders FC (167) and LA Galaxy (165).

PORTER AT 100

Timbers head coach Caleb Porter registered his 100th career MLS game on Oct. 14 in a 1-0 win against Real Salt Lake. Porter, the 2013 MLS Coach of the Year, has registered a career coaching record of 41-25-36 (.578) through 102 career games, while his 25 losses is tied with San Jose’s Dominic Kinnear for the few-est among MLS coaches through their first 100 games.

2015 SEASON BY THE NUMBERSPortland concluded the 2015 season with several impressive marks in a variety of categories. The Timbers racked up an MLS-club record mark with 15 wins, while tying for the league lead in shutouts (13). Portland finished with the league lead in both chances created (477) and total shots (486), while also conceding the third-fewest goals (39) among all teams.

AGAINST THE WESTERN CONFERENCEThe Timbers have put together a 7-1-8 regular-season home record against teams from the Western Conference, dating back to Sept. 7, 2014. The Timbers have lost just four home games (12-4-8) in their last 23 at Providence Park dating back to the 2014 season. Portland has earned five regular-season home shutouts against Western Conference sides in 2015.

WINNING AT HOMEThe Timbers finished among league leaders with a 8-3-6 overall record at Provi-dence Park during the 2015 season, including a Timbers MLS-club-record-tying streak of five straight wins from May 27-July 5. Portland has compiled one of the league’s best home records with an overall mark of 24-7-20 (.667) over the last three seasons since 2013. The Timbers’ seven home losses since 2013 is the second fewest of any team in the league over that span of time.

STREAKING

Timbers forward Fanendo Adi has registered six goals in the last five regular-season matches, including scoring a goal in three straight games heading into the postseason. Midfielder Darlington Nagbe has scored in back-to-back games, including a brace in the regular-season finale against Colorado on Sunday. Additionally, midfielder Rodney Wallace has registered an assist in consecutive games.

MLS CUP PLAYOFFS HISTORY

Portland has reached the MLS Cup Playoffs for the second time in three seasons under head coach Caleb Porter. In Porter’s first season in 2013, the Timbers finished as the top seed in the Western Conference and defeated Seattle Sounders FC 5-3 on aggregate in the two-leg, conference semifinals round after bypassing the knockout round. In the conference finals, Portland fell to Real Salt Lake 5-2 on aggregate. In 2014, the Timbers missed out on the postseason by just one point.
