The teams are meeting for the second time this season. Rodney Wallace, Diego Valeri and Will Johnson all scored in a 3-0 Timbers victory, May 12 in Portland.

Chivas has won four of the six meetings all-time in the league series – all three meetings between the teams a season ago, including both matches at Jeld-Wen Field. The Timbers did win a U.S. Open Cup play-in game between teams in 2010.

Coaches record: Caleb Porter vs. CHV: P1 W1 L0 T0 … José Luis Real vs. POR: first game LAST MEETING 5/12: POR 3, CHV 0 (Wallace 34; Valeri 70; W. Johnson 93+)

The Timbers took the lead in the 34th minute. On a counter off a corner kick, Rodney Wallace broke free down the left wing on a perfectly-timed feed from Ryan Johnson, then beat his defender and finished inside the far post with a nifty left-footed lob.

The Timbers put the game away in the 70th minute when Wallace and Darlington Nagbe teamed up to unlock the Chivas defense with a series of passes at the top of the area. Wallace fed Diego Valeri on a perfectly timed through ball, and he easily beat Chivas goalkeeper Patrick McLain from the heart of the area.

Portland completed the rout in stoppage time, when Will Johnson latched onto a short corner and hit a beautifully struck, right-footed shot from the left corner of the area that curled inside the far post past the outstretched arms of McLain.

CHIVAS USA Chivas USA won their second match in the last four, getting the game’s lone goal for a victory against D.C. United on Sunday evening at StubHub Center. . Chivas USA sit in ninth place in the Western Conference with 25 points from 28 matches.


LAST MATCH The game's only goal came six minutes after halftime. A cross into the area wasn't cleared, eventually bounced

off a pair of United players and falling into the the area where Erick Torres stabbed it past D.C. goalkeeper Bill Hamid.

Chivas USA goalkeeper Dan Kennedy made five saves for the shutout. Chivas USA head coach José Luis Real made one change to the team that fell 1-0 to Seattle Sounders FC at

CenturyLink Field. Carlos Bocanegra came back into the team in place of Mario de Luna. CHIVAS USA (4-4-2) Dan Kennedy - Carlos Borja, Bobby Burling, Carlos Bocanegra, Marky Delgado - Carlos

Alvarez (Carlo Chueca 90), Edgar Mejia, Oswaldo Minda, Bryan de la Fuente - Julio Morales (Eric Avila 28), Erick Torres (Tristan Bowen 90).

TEAM NEWS After winning just one league game over a more than four-month span – from April 13 to Aug. 21 – Chivas USA

have won twice in their last four contests. “In my opinion, Chivas is getting better game-by-game,” said Chivas USA head coach José Luis Real. “Our

team played very well on many occasions in the second half. D.C. was a very good team up to the last play of the game. With Chivas, it’s never easy. All the games for Chivas are never easy. But I’m happy because the second half was good and we won.”

Erick Torres scored his seventh goal in nine matches since joining Chivas USA. Torres has scored the last five goals Chivas has scored, over the last four matches.

“’Cubo’ is another one of the most important players for Chivas USA. He scores goals but he always works for the team. His personality and mentality is strong. He’s a very important player for Chivas,” Real said.

Real made a key tactical shift before the United match was a half-hour old, bringing on Eric Avila in place of Julio Morales. Avila moved to the right side of midfield, with Carlos Alvarez moving to the center and Torres remaining as the lone out-and-out striker.

“Morales did well in his minutes on the pitch,” Real said. “But we needed another midfielder and Morales is not a midfielder. I’m happy with Morales, but it was a tactical decision only.”

“We slightly changed it up a little in the first half. We’re use to playing differently and switching around. I was more of an outlet, coming and playing wide to try to feed [Torres] as much as possible,” said Avila. Added Torres: “It’s a different function where I play a little more by myself up top against the two center backs. And on the defensive end I have to put out a little more effort, but I think the formation and adjustments that [Real] implemented helped the team and we were able swing the match’s momentum.”

Oswaldo Minda was able to make a fourth consecutive start, his first since being injured in the June 23 loss to the LA Galaxy.

“For me, Minda is one of the best players in Chivas USA. But he was injured a long time ago,” said Real. “And now, in the last three games, Minda has had very good games, very good plays and he’s an international player, very important for Chivas USA.”

PORTLAND TIMBERS The Portland Timbers put an end to their two-game losing run in emphatic fashion, rolling to a 4-0 win against Toronto FC on Saturday evening at Jeld-Wen Field. The Timbers are in a tie for fourth place in the Western Conference with 42 points from 27 matches. LAST MATCH

The Timbers took the lead in the first minute of stoppage time. From a poor clearance from a free kick swung into the area, Kalif Alhassan chested down the ball and volleyed a thunderous shot past TFC goalkeeper Joe Bendik from just outside the box.

Portland then put the match away with three late goals. In the 83rd minute, substitute Diego Valeri threaded a pass to Rodney Wallace, who finished coolly past Bendik from the left side of the box.

Will Johnson then made it 3-0 in the 87th minute when he took a nice feed from forward José Valencia inside the area and sent a missile past Bendik.

Valencia set up the final Timbers goal in the third minute of stoppage time, setting up Valeri perfectly with a rolling cross that left the easiest of finishes with a tap-in at the back post.

Timbers head coach Caleb Porter made five changes to the team that fell to a 4-2 defeat by Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium. Milos Kocic came in between the posts for Donovan Ricketts, and Sal Zizzo, Pa Modou Kah, Will Johnson and Jose Adolfo Valencia all came into the team, in place of Rauwshan McKenzie, Ben Zemanski, Diego Valeri and Ryan Johnson.

PORTLAND TIMBERS (4-2-3-1): Milos Kocic - Sal Zizzo, Pa Modou Kah, Andrew Jean-Baptiste, Michael Harrington - Will Johnson, Diego Chara - Darlington Nagbe (Brad Ring 90) - Kalif Alhassan (Diego Valeri 77), Jose Adolfo Valencia, Rodney Wallace.


TEAM NEWS The Timbers put an emphatic end to their losing streak after two games, the first time this season they had lost

consecutive matches. “These last several games have been tough. We’ve dealt with a lot. We’ve had a ton of guys out with injuries –

we still have guys out,” said Timbers head coach Caleb Porter. “Obviously this game, we had a few guys out with injuries and some guys out on international duty, so I said to the guys that in a lot of ways it’s probably a good thing, because if we had had a ton of success in the last nine games, I’d be worried about complacency at this point. We’ve been humbled a little bit.”

The four goals scored by the Timbers was a season-high, after scoring three goals on five separate occasions this season.

“I think that we’ve been practicing our attack and a lot of our goals came from creating our own chances and making the moment count,” said Rodney Wallace. “We also have to give credit to the pressure we’re putting on teams. For example, the pressure that Diego Valeri put on the central defender to free me up and get the goal. Pressure, movement, and at the same time keeping the defenders back.”

Diego Valeri pulled into a tie for the MLS league lead with his 12th assist (with Philadelphia’s Sebastien Le Toux), and also scored his sixth goal of the season vs. Toronto FC. Valeri came off the substitutes’ bench for the final 13 minutes after taking a knock in the RSL loss.

“This system, your three center players…" Porter said. “Those players make you go, they make you tick, they allow you to control games, which is what we try to do on both sides of the ball. So I thought it was huge having them in there.”

Will Johnson also returned to the Timbers lineup after missing four matches with a shoulder injury, playing the full 90 minutes alongside Diego Chará in the center of the park. He popped up to score his seventh goal of the season, his first since June 23.

“It would be naïve to think that’s not a bit of a factor in perhaps us not performing as well as we would have liked in the last nine games,” Porter said. “I think you saw those two guys, they’re very destructive, they’re dominant. Games sometimes are won and lost in the heart of your team.”

Jose Adolfo Valencia set up the final two Portland goals, his first two MLS assists in his 16th league appearance.

Milos Kocic made his first league appearance since June 8 and recorded his fifth career shutout, against his former club. Kocic had also recorded a shutout in his last first-team appearance, a fourth-round Open Cup victory against Tampa Bay.

“It feels weird playing against my old team, but it’s very important coming up with a win, and playing at home is always a benefit,” said Kocic. “I think time of possession was unbelievable, we held the ball very well and we came out with three points.

CATEGORICAL WON-LOST-TIED HEAD COACH CALEB PORTEROne of the most successful coaches in NCAA history, Caleb Porter was named the Timbers head coach on Aug. 29, 2012, and joins the club following seven seasons as the head coach at the University of Akron from 2006-12. He finished his time at Akron with a career mark of 123-18-17 and owned the highest winning percentage (0.832) among all active Division I coaches. Porter has helped lead the Timbers to a positive result in 22 of the team’s 27 matches in the 2013 MLS season, setting a club-record, 15-game unbeaten stretch from March 16-June 23. Porter has been named the MLSsoccer.com Coach of the Week twice this year (Week 6, Week 9) and set the MLS record for a first-year head coach with 15 straight undefeated games.

Porter built Akron men’s soccer into a perennial national championship contender, leading the Zips to five consecutive trips to the NCAA tournament’s Round of 16 (2008-12), back-to-back NCAA College Cup appearances in 2009 and 2010, and the school’s first national title in any sport in 2010. In all, he guided Akron to seven Mid-American Conference (MAC) regular-season championships and five MAC Tourna-ment titles. Porter set multiple NCAA records at Akron, including a 48-match, home unbeaten streak (44-0-4) from 2008-11 and a 47-match unbeaten streak (44-0-3) in conference play from 2006-12.

From Kalamazoo, Mich., Porter garnered numerous honors while at Akron, including NSCAA National Coach of the Year in 2009. He was a three-time NSCAA All-Ohio Coach of the Year (2008-09, 2011) and received MAC Coach of the Year honors six straight years from 2007-12. Porter became the fastest coach in program history to reach 100 career wins, accomplishing the feat in just 126 matches. He is also among the fastest all-time in NCAA history to the century mark, reaching the milestone in fewer games than collegiate Hall of Fame and current MLS coaches Bruce Arena (140; Virginia) and Sigi Schmid (136; UCLA). While at Akron, Porter recruited and developed more than a dozen Zips players who have gone on to professional careers, many plying their trade in Major League Soccer. He had an MLS-record five former players selected in the first round of the 2011 MLS SuperDraft and seven selected overall that year. Under Porter’s guidance, Portland’s Darlington Nagbe and former Akron standout Teal Bunbury were recipients of the MAC Hermann Trophy, awarded to the nation’s top col-legiate player.

Porter also served as the head coach of the U.S. U-23 Men’s National Team during 2012 CONCACAF Olympic qualifying and spent three years as an assistant coach on the U.S. U-18 National Team from 2009-11. Prior to joining Akron, Porter was an assistant coach for six years (2000-05) at Indiana Univer-sity, helping the school make six NCAA tournament appearances, win back-to-back national champion-ships in 2003 and 2004 and claim five Big Ten Conference titles.

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 playing career in 2000. Porter also played for the U.S. National B Team from 1996-97, winning a bronze medal at the 1997 World University Games.

He had a successful collegiate playing career at Indiana, where he was a three-year captain, a three-time All-Big Ten honoree and a four-year letter winner. Porter led the Hoosiers to four conference titles, four NCAA tournament appearances – twice advancing to the College Cup. As a senior, Porter captained IU to 23 consecutive wins before losing to eventual national champion UCLA in the national semifinals and 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 Jane.

ALL-TIME SERIES NOTESSaturday’s match is the seventh meeting in the all-time MLS series between the Timbers and Chivas USA.

The final two games of the 2013 season series will be played at the StubHub Center in Car-son, Calif. (Sept. 14 and Oct. 26).

After losing three straight games to Chivas USA in 2012, the Timbers ended the streak this season with a decisive win at home. Since 2011, Portland is 2-4-0 against foes from Southern California, including 0-2-0 at the StubHub Center. The Timbers haven’t traveled to face Chivas USA since July 18, 2012, in a 1-0 loss before 13,827 fans. Four of the previous six matches between the teams have taken place at JELD-WEN Field.

TIMBERS EARN 4-0 WIN OVER TORONTO FCForward Kalif Alhassan scored in the first half, and forward Rodney Wallace and midfielders Will Johnson and Diego Valeri all contributed to a three-goal output in the second half to lead the Portland Timbers to a 4-0 win over Toronto FC be-fore a sellout crowd of 20,674 at JELD-WEN Field on Sept. 7. Alhassan tallied his second goal of the season in first-half stoppage time to lift the Timbers to a 1-0 lead. Portland then struck for three goals late in the match as Wallace, Johnson and Valeri all found the back of the net inside the final 10 minutes to give the Timbers a 4-0 victory, the club’s largest margin of victory as an MLS side. The Timbers nearly doubled Toronto FC in shots, 21-13, and held 65.6 percent of the possession.

SCOUTING CHIVAS USAChivas USA has undergone a number of changes during the 2013 regular season, including a coaching change and the shuffling of several players in on loan from sister club Chivas de Guadalajara in Mexico. After starting the season 3-1-1, Chivas USA then struggled through a 14-game winless streak from April 13 to July 12. Head coach José Luis Sánchez Solá was fired on May 29, follow-ing four consecutive losses. José Luis Real was named head coach and on July 1 announced the signing of defender, and longtime U.S. Men’s National Team captain, Carlos Bocanegra. Several days later, striker Erick Torres arrived on loan from Chivas de Guadalajara. Bocanegra and Torres made their debuts on July 17 in a 1-0 win over Toronto FC, in which Torres scored the game-winning goal. Since then, Torres has tallied a team-high seven goals in nine games. Rookie midfielder Carlos Alvarez, the second overall pick in the 2013 MLS SuperDraft, ranks second on the squad with two goals and three assists (7pts). Goalkeeper Dan Kennedy, who leads all Chivas USA players with 2,394 minutes played, has made a league-high 95 saves in 2013.

SECOND-HALF THREATPortland has scored 29 goals in the second half of games this season, including 11 goals during the first 15 minutes following the halftime break and 14 goals in the final 15 minutes of the game. Portland’s 29 second-half goals rank second in the league. On the defensive side, the Timbers have conceded 14 goals in the final 45 minutes this season, which ranks second fewest in MLS.

IRON MANTimbers midfielder/forward Darlington Nagbe has started a Timbers MLS-club record 41 straight games for the team dating back to the 2012 MLS season. In fact, Nagbe has played in 59 of the team’s 60 regular-season games since the start of the 2012 season. Nagbe is the club’s MLS career leader with 16 goals and 88 appearances.

ON A ROLL AT JELD-WEN FIELDPortland is unbeaten in its last 11 matches (8-0-3) at JELD-WEN Field. The team extended its home unbeaten streak with a 4-0 win against Eastern Conference foe Toronto FC on Sept. 7. The Timbers recorded an MLS-club record streak of six straight shutouts at JELD-WEN Field from April 6-June 23. Portland’s home shutout streak came to an end against the LA Galaxy on July 13, setting the MLS club-home record of 587 minutes without conceding a goal, spanning eight league games from March 9-July 13.

MIDFIELD MAESTROMidfielder Diego Valeri has factored in 10 of Portland’s last 15 goals (8a, 2g). Valeri has 12 assists on the season, which is tied for the league lead, and is the first Timbers MLS player to record 10 or more assists in a single season. He is just the second Timbers player since 2001 to record 10 or more assists in a single season; Hugo Alcaraz-Cuellar recorded 12 assists in 2005 for the second-division Timbers. Valeri is one assist shy of tying the Timbers MLS-club career record (13).

TIMBERS ACQUIRE BRAD RING FROM SJOn Sept. 5, the Timbers acquired midfielder/defender Brad Ring from the San Jose Earthquakes in exchange for a 2014 draft pick, the pick will be Portland’s lowest draft pick in 2014. Ring, 26, was drafted by San Jose in the second round of the 2009 MLS SuperDraft and has played in 37 regular-season matches as both a midfielder and defender for the Earthquakes since 2010. He appeared in a career-high 21 matches during the 2011 campaign, including 17 starts and recorded one assist.

TIMBERS ACQUIRE MAXIMILIANO URRUTIOn Monday, the Timbers acquired Argentine forward Maximiliano Urruti and an international roster slot from Toronto FC in exchange for forward Bright Dike, a first-round pick in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft and allocation money. Urruti, 22, was acquired by Toronto FC on Aug. 16, after playing his first three professional seasons with top-flight Argentine club Newell’s Old Boys from 2010-13. He made 56 appearances and scored 12 goals with Newell’s Old Boys in Argentina’s Primera División, and also made six appearances for the club in Copa Libertadores play. With Toronto FC, Urruti played in two matches, making his MLS debut Aug. 17.

AMONG LEAGUE LEADERSThe Timbers rank among MLS league leaders in several statistical categories, including goals, assists and shots on goal. Portland’s 43 goals in 27 regular-season games is the fourth-highest total in MLS, while the team’s 45 assists ranks third in the league. The Timbers place fifth overall with 130 shots on goal, while also registering as one of the most-fouled teams in the league with a third-ranked total of 360 fouls suffered. Portland in one of just four teams that have yet to lose a game when scoring first. The Timbers are 8-0-5 when scoring first. Individually, midfielder Diego Valeri is tied for first in MLS with 12 assists, while goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts’ nine shutouts is one shy of the league lead.

FEWEST LOSSESAfter 27 regular-season matches, the Timbers rank first in MLS with just five losses. Portland has earned the most draws (12) in the league, while losing two fewer games than the next closest team (Montreal, FC Dallas - 7 losses).

ALHASSAN ON A ROLLTimbers midfielder Kalif Alhassan has recorded two goals over the last four matches (269 minutes) for the team, including a strike against Toronto FC on Sept. 7 at JELD-WEN Field that was nominated for MLS Goal of the Week honors for Week 28 of the regular season. Alhassan has recorded an MLS-career high with two goals and seven points (2g, 3a) through 23 appearances in 2013, including 11 starts.
