@sccrbbkim @msjolene Portland Tribune.

Late goals from Adi and Nagbe rescue @TimbersFC Champions League hopes. Portland 2, CD Dragon 1.

[Paul Danzer @col_timbers]

Looked like several Timbers stopped playing and Dragon is up 1-0 in 55th. Timbers CCL life in serious trouble.

[Paul Danzer @col_timbers]

Timbers and Dragon 0-0 at half in El Salvador.

Emotional moment as @JewsburyJ announces at #Timbers #Standtogether banquet he will retire from soccer at end of 2016. #RCTID

[Paul Danzer @col_timbers]

@KyleAtTheC Saprissa's high pressure was impressive, especially in the first half. Saprissa has only once lost a CONCACAF match at home.

[Paul Danzer @col_timbers]

@bigbrew4u @steeple3k Frustration about calls aside, Timbers needed better composure. Difficult place to win and Saprissa showed why IMO.

[Paul Danzer @col_timbers]

Second half much better from #Timbers, but hard to dispute that 4-2 Saprissa reflects which was the proactive/deserving side.

[Paul Danzer @col_timbers]

Portland's has legit complaint that Chara was fouled before sequence that led to PK.

[Paul Danzer @col_timbers]

Great finish that. If nothing else the Timbers have a couple away goals.

[Paul Danzer @col_timbers]

If the Timbers get out of this with anything close to this score, they can be thankful. Unlikely, unless they settle down and possess some,

[Paul Danzer @col_timbers]

Timbers fortunate to only be down 2-1. PK was soft, but Zemanski stuck a wild leg in and invited the dive.

[Paul Danzer @col_timbers]

Great start for Timbers. Nice combo play finished by Valeri.

[Paul Danzer @col_timbers]

Huge 3 points for Timbers. Wasn't pretty but it was gritty.

[Paul Danzer @col_timbers]

Have to think that was Mattocks' best shift for the Timbers.

[Paul Danzer @col_timbers]

Sure he's missed, but good to see Nagbe taking those shots.

[Paul Danzer @col_timbers]

Tremendous patience from Adi on that finish,

[Paul Danzer @col_timbers]

Not working today, but had a good view of 4 @TimbersFC first-half goals. Impressive.

Prevailing sentiment among media at halftime: What the f*** was that?!?!?! #RCTID
