There were plenty of reasons to think the Portland Timbers were destined for a difficult Saturday night in San Jose. Road trips are notoriously tough in MLS, nine Timbers players were out with injuries and the team’s form lately has been poor.
But the Timbers defied the odds and snapped a three-game losing streak by beating the Earthquakes 2-0 at Avaya Stadium on the back of two assists from Eryk Williamson.
The surprise hero of the match, however, was someone who wasn’t even on the Timbers roster a few days ago: Logan Ketterer, the emergency on-loan goalkeeper who saved a penalty kick, denying San Jose’s Chris Wondolowski an equalizer.
