Match Timeline
TIED FOR FIRST!!! #NYCFC- Match ends, Portland Timbers 1, New York City FC 2.
This win is worth like 12 points for #NYCFC
It just feels like we have no heart this year....not enough spark. #RCTID- 90'+5'Second Half ends, Portland Timbers 1, New York City FC 2.
Passes and chances in the last 10 minutes have been awful. There's your ball game. #rctid
94. Final minute. 2-1 #NYCFC
Hell of a match from Hernandez and Allen tonight. Vieira getting the very best out of his players. #NYCFC
Shelton is a little young to be this gassed. #nycfc
3 mins to score the equalizer and I don't think it's going to happen #RCTID
Please dear lord get rid of Melano. An empty shoe on the pitch is better. #RCTID
Have to face the fact that losing Villafaña was devastating... 0 clean sheets and near bottom of the table #RCTID
The Timbers could do so much with four minutes of stoppage time. But they won't. It is an even numbered year. #RCTID
@MerrittPaulson does anybody on this team want to win? Looks like they're just showing up to get their paychecks #RCTID
NYCFC is really disproving my theory that soccer players on the whole are a very attractive lot. #RCTID
4 minutes of stoppage here. #NYCFC- Not taking away from Pirlo folks. Great game from the veteran. #NYCFC
You can see it in their body language last two games. #NYCFC totally starting to find their identity.- 90'Attempt missed. Lucas Melano (Portland Timbers) right footed shot from the right side of the box is too high. Assisted by Zarek Valentin with a cross.
- That Pirlo sub was long coming. Barely moving out there. Less so than usual anyway. #NYCFC
- Speaking of killing the game, #NYCFC have five defenders on now.
This team is content and it hurts so bad. #RCTID
What was that from David Villa. The man runs on an engine. #NYCFC- 90'

If you didn't know who Timber Joey was, you might be really concerned about the man with a chainsaw wandering behind NYFCs goal #PORvNYC- Hmm. #NYCFC is... possessing the ball. capably. I feel like this is what we were promised.
- 89'Attempt missed. Khiry Shelton (New York City FC) right footed shot from the right side of the box is high and wide to the right. Assisted by Mehdi Ballouchy with a headed pass.
I may be in the minority, but I'd like to see more frequent and liberal use of the timewasting yellow. Get the game moving already. #RCTID
What if Timber Joey just snapped one day? #PORvNYC- 88'Attempt saved. David Villa (New York City FC) right footed shot from the right side of the box is saved in the bottom left corner. Assisted by Andrea Pirlo.
Got a lot of hot takes here about how terrible Saunders looks. Has he slept? How drunk was he last night? Did he get into a fight? #RCTID
- 87'GJosh Saunders (New York City FC) is shown the yellow card.
- 85. Five minutes plus stoppage time remain. Plenty of time for anything to happen, especially in Major League Soccer. #NYCFC
- 86'Corner, Portland Timbers. Conceded by Frederic Brillant.
I'm not used to this sort of physicality in the MLS. It rules. #PORvNYC- 84. Allen switches to left back, White moves to right back as #NYCFC look to see this game out.

What this game needs: speed, intensity, goals What this game got: Ned Grabavoy #RCTID
- 84'DEthan WhiteF#26Thomas McNamara
- I'm sure Grabavoy wouldn't mind getting the equalizer against his old club here. #RCTID
I have yet to see the point of Ned Grabavoy. #RCTID- Grabavoy comes in to make an appearance against his former club #NYCFC https://t.co/qusvCJMO4r
In attack Villa has dropped and Ballouchi gone forward. Putting Villa and Pirlo side by side in attacking mid. Scary & creative #PORvNYC- 82'Stoppage over. They are ready to continue.
Nagbe tries the Camilo. Calm down son #PORvNYC- 81. Nagbe attempts the spectacular from the edge of the box, should have used his head. #NYCFC break but quickly lose possession.

0 for 75 in set piece corners - wow - can u say @timbersfc need a new set-piece play or what? who creates those anyway? #RCTID
Dear lord, there are still 10 minutes left #PORvNYC
Just getting into MLS. Why does Viera hate @MixDiskerud? He helped create that second goal and then was subbed off. Makes no sense. #NYCFC
If we had RodWall or Asprilla still I would argue a 3 man back with Taylor/Klute, Ridgewell, and Valentine #RCTID
Ned Grabavoy set to enter versus his former team. #PORvNYC
Gonna have a hard time getting excited about corner kicks if we never score on them. #RCTID
How about @Guaje7Villa and his work to hold up play on the goal's build-up? Known for class but that was pure desire and hard work #NYCFC
#NYCFC Please continue to give Pirlo the ball and let him create. That is what he does best. Get him the ball!
We haven't been good enough .NOT the ref's fault. #rctid
I still don't buy that this result will hold. #PORvNYC
77' two handed shove of Taylor doesn't warrant call, but Melano gets CK for Timbers as he tries to find J-Mac in box. #rctid- 77'Attempt missed. Jack McInerney (Portland Timbers) header from the centre of the box misses to the left. Assisted by Diego Valeri with a cross following a corner.
- 77'Corner, Portland Timbers. Conceded by Ronald Matarrita.
McNamara deserves a pay raise. #NYCFC
David Villa is both not a natural no. 9 and is the second best no. 9 in MLS #PORvNYC- Barmby at left back, what could go wrong? #RCTID
Is anyone else noticing all the defensive work that David Villa is putting in? Recognize!! #PORvNYC
i swear. saunders secretly wants to be a defender and not a keeper. #anxietyrising #PORvNYC- 76'Jack Jewsbury (Portland Timbers) wins a free kick in the defensive half.
- 76'Foul by Mehdi Ballouchy (New York City FC).
Coach Vieira has been talking up Ballouchy's practice performances during the week. Let's see it. #NYCFC

Melano needs to crash the freaking net. Not just stop on a dime when the shot is saved. #RCTID
Take Melano off already #rctid- theres another example on the lack of nous by melano - i think he needs to get some ballet training to help him focus better #RCTID

- Lucas Melano completely checked out after that non-call #PORvNYC
- 71'Attempt saved. Diego Valeri (Portland Timbers) right footed shot from outside the box is saved in the centre of the goal. Assisted by Jack McInerney.
Valeri’s either tried to, or had to, thread too many needles. #RCTID- Great finish from Mcnamara. Love how he didn't panic when Borchers closed him down. Even Pirlo looked impressed #PORvNYC
Y/N: Tommy Mac has done more for #NYCFC than Frank Lampard ever will
Tommy Macnamara 2016 = Mike Grella 2015. *ducks from the NY Soccer Warz food fight I just started* #NYCFC
Allen and McNamera are doing the things you’d expect Pirlo to do tonight #PORvNYC

Tommy Mac assisted by freaking Andrea Pirlo. Who SMILED. WHAT A WORLD. #PORvNYC- Initial tackle on Melano looked clean, not sure if he was dragged down trying to get up though. #RCTID
- 68'Darlington Nagbe (Portland Timbers) wins a free kick in the defensive half.
- 68'Foul by Mix Diskerud (New York City FC).
- Remember folks - McNamara started that play at the center line with a gutsy tackle and distribution. Unbelievable effort and goal. #NYCFC
- Portland's defensive midfield was dropping too deep. It invited shots from Mix...and NYCFC's second. #PORvNYC
That Pirlo no look pass froze the defense.#PORvNYC
Pirlo was so happy right there haha #PORvNYC
Unbelievable. Both NYCFC goals after horrible missed calls. #RCTID- Tommy Mac just scored the goal I thought Pirlo was going to take. #nycfc

Good on you, FS1. You show a compilation of good Josh Saunders plays in the game, and now it's 1-1. #PORvNYC

Nagbe cruelly denied by the force field that is Josh Saunders #PORvNYC
Lampard with 1.5 legs would be an improvement over Mix. #NYCFC
I take back everything I ever said about Saunders. He's been unreal in this one #NYCFC- Adi had eight opportunities to pass that to Valeri and didn't do it #RCTID
- The shirt pulling between Adi and Hernandez has been fascinating to watch all game. #PORvNYC
Seriously, Boys. Saunders isn't good. Stop making him look world class. #RCTID

Frustrating to be down a goal right now. We should've equalized with the chances we've had #RCTID

Hernandez, with or without his jersey, playing hardball on defense as always. #PORvNYC- #NYCFC living on the edge here. 11 shots from good spots, 60% possession for the Timbers.
Josh Saunders has keeped a great first half, keeping Portland scoreless up until now. Can't afford to blink too much. #PORvNYC- We're credited with three missed chances. #RCTID

I do not like this Allen dude. Handball leading to a goal, crashing into Nagbe and now kicking a ball into Valeri's chest. #RCTID

"You guys! Jermaine Taylor's open over here! Look! LOOK!" - Jermaine Taylor, ca. The entire match so far. #RCTID- Iraola has all the skill to succeed in this league, but RJ Allen is the blue collar worker #NYCFC fans should love. Doesn't take a play off.
