Portland Timbers notch one more

 I can't help myself.   The Timbers played on the road in Puerto Rico and slapped the Islanders with a single goal win.   The chip shot by Kalif Alhassan followed a tough ninety minutes of play,  including an Alhassan shot just an instant earlier. The nineteen year old showed some stuff as an attacking midfielder.   My take is that the the Timbers are hoping he'll blossom into a Fredy Montero,  an unheralded youngster with great potential and years ahead of him.   I hope they're right.
