Wow, excellent and difficult call on the PK against Chara. It looked so much like he’d gotten the ball clean, but that final angle showed the clear foul. Credit where credit is due, the ref got that one right on the field.
I find those hard to judge. The guy went in on 3 defenders by himself. Can’t expect anything less than a mess of feet and bodies. That’s just selfish play begging for a PK from a ref who obliged this time. Seemed a bit embellished too.
Penalty kicks are still the stupidest thing in soccer, totally disproportionate to the offense, creates the motivation for endless diving, just generally makes a mockery of the game. There needs to be a better way.
Two wins in a row. We gotta keep it going to be in the playoffs conversation. Still showing signs of life. Austin dominated possession time but Portland capitalized on opportunities. Solid road win for 3 points.
*Things arent looking well for Crepeau. After a couple sloppy game hes benched just for the 2nd keeper to show out, save a penalty and keep a clean sheet*
I originally thought Crepeau was a solid addition. After watching half-baked efforts in several games, I was wrong. He should retire if he's tired of the sport.
Crepeau was benched due to him being called up to Canadian men’s national team so he will be gone for a while. So they wanted to give Pantemis more experience while also give crepeau a night off.
0:32, the Austin player is quite an actor. This is a big reason why non-soccer fans hate the game, there's barely any contact and one of them acts like he was shot. Refs should start carding the actors, that would slow down the fake drama.
And the 2nd PK the guy felt a bit of weight on his back so decided to just throw himself to the ground to get the penalty, shameless behavior but the useless refs constantly fall for it and there are no consequences so they will keep doing it. Soccer really is a shameless clown show of a sport some times
@@nathanc8478 Austin FC player (can't remember, CJ?) got held from behind and taken down in the box, no call. Then Rubio got a yellow for mouthing at the ref. Just seemed really lopsided. But, we (Austin) were slower and smaller and just felt like we were getting grabbed from behind a lot. Not really call worthy, but the suddenness of all the yellows in the 2nd half was maddening.
Great saves I'm impressed! And a beautiful goal from Evander. My hometown is getting back on its feet. Go Portland!! ❤🌲🌲🪓 this is going to be a great season for us.
@@GnarledCypress i was at the game half the time they fouled austin they gave them a freekick and gave austin a yellow card for and many other bad decisions

Great PK save by the Timbers goalie.

Evanders shot was crazy I thought he would miss but proved me wrong. Great game!
i had to watch it 3 times to believe it! MLS has some amazing players!

Great victory by Portland. It's always nice to see Rodríguez scoring.
What a save 🎉🎉🎉
James gave me his gloves. 🤙🏼

Love my Timbers win, love the Austin FC crowd energy! Great game!!
Even in our wins, we (Austin FC) just seems so small and slow. I know why we play the possession game. Everything was just off tonight.
timbers timbers timbers! keep it going!
Portland still undefeated against Austin. The only team Portland fares as well against is Seattle in the playoffs.
They lost to Austin 2x in 2021 and haven’t lost since.
I’ve seen Austin play Portland six times and Austin has beaten them twice (both in 2021).
Cabecita a puertaaaaaaa 😢

If you pay close attention he actually got stepped on
@@TooGnarlyy96 Which is why he held his knee to start with?!
Yeah I remember watching the World Cup with my coworker and he said they were all actors lol
Drussi one trick pony always throwing it to the right....
We can finally say this, the Timbers clearly won this one. No chance for Austin this time
EVANDER 💚💛
HATE the theatrics of soccer. Driussi holds his knee and mid-pain, switches to his ankle. GOOD FREAKING GOSH!!!!!!!
ya everyone does thankfully its getting less like that

@@AnK5402 sounds like an austin fan. it was clearly a penalty
@@AnK5402 He took his ankle out actually, and all players go over dramatically but it's a clear penalty regardless of that.
No penalty call is crazy
Was there a penalty not called?

Both played alright but I went to the game and the red was TRASH 🗑️ where was Austin’s pens.
Ref was giving alot of free kicks to Austin in the first half and the second lots of yellow for Austin I'm a timbers fan and I find the ref stupid
@@brandonaa9646 did you go?
No didn't
Pantemis is way better than Crepeau. Keep using Pantemis. 👏😳
HE DONT KNOW HIT KOCK PENALTY, GIVE OTHER KOCK
I'm looking for a girlfriend who likes Austin
I am 13 years old
Great saves I'm impressed! And a beautiful goal from Evander. My hometown is getting back on its feet. Go Portland!! ❤🌲🌲🪓 this is going to be a great season for us.
Terrible referee
FIFA apparently disagrees since he's got the FIFA International badge. Both AR's are on the list as well. Oh, and the VAR is too.
Why?
Monkey 🐵
