We said: Vancouver Whitecaps 3-1 Portland Timbers

 Sartini may have found the missing ingredients to this team's attacking deficiencies last weekend, and that artificial turf seems ideally suited to youngsters like Ahmed and Becher, who should be well-rested and we believe will cause plenty of headaches to an ageing Timbers side, who have been out of sorts defensively all season.
