After 112 meetings between the Timbers and the Seattle Sounders, it seems it’d be hard for these rivalry matches to still surprise and confound. But Sunday’s match, a 2-1 Timbers loss after a series of bizarre twists and turns, was certainly memorable – even if Timbers fans would rather forget.
What started as a cagey, close affair at Providence Park ripped wide open in the second half after chaotic back-and-forth penalties, where Diego Valeri missed his scoring chance twice, and a worrisome injury to goalkeeper Jeff Attinella, which forced the Timbers to go four spots down the depth chart to fill the spot.
