Adam Kwarasey and Portland Timbers triumph over Harrison Afful’s Columbus Crew

Adam Kwarasey and Portland Timbers began their title defence with a hard fought 2-1 win over Harrison Afful’s Columbus Crew on Sunday.

In December, the Portland Timbers took down the Columbus Crew to earn the team’s first MLS Cup.

On Sunday, the reigning champions achieved the very same result to open their title defence.

Tied 1-1 heading into the game’s waning moments, Fanendo Adi’s late finished proved the difference.

After seeing a Dairon Asprilla shot from a tight angle saved into the air, Adi tapped home from inside a yard to seal three points

Before Adi provided the late winner, Diego Valeri’s opener came in front of the Timbers Army in the 23rd minute.

Crew tied the scoreless in spectacular fashion in the 68th minute.

After playing in Ethan Finlay down the right hand side, Higuain darted into the center of the box.

Finlay’s return ball was deflected, prompting Higauin to take a touch into the air.

The Argentinian playmaker proceeded to smash a bicycle kick past Adam Kwarasey to nearly earn the Crew a share of the points.
