TSS Rovers v Portland Timbers U23 – The Story In Pictures

Two goals, one a fantastic solo effort, a red card, a saved penalty, and an outstanding goalkeeping performance. Would you expect anything less in a Cascadian derby when the Timbers come to town?

Doesn’t matter the level, every team in the Vancouver area wants to beat Portland. It didn’t quite happen for TSS Rovers against Timbers U23 in PDL action at Swangard Stadium on Friday night, but the young Rovers side battled hard, overcoming a man disadvantage to fight back and claim a point in a 1-1 draw and maintain their unbeaten home record.

AFTN photographer Tom Ewasiuk was there to capture all the action before, during and after the game. Here’s his “Story In Pictures”, with a full Flickr slideshow at the end.

After a fairly quiet opening, where both sides had half chances, the game burst into life in the 25th minutes when Joel Waterman brings down Andres Ochoa in the box – penalty for Portland!

Steven Dal Molin steps up to take the kick, but it’s saved by Andrew Hicks and the game is still tied

Debutant Marcello Polisi tangles with Christo ‘Fabio’ Michaelson, which ends with Polisi shoving Michaelson on the ground

Surprisingly it’s not a straight red for the TSS man, but it is a second yellow, so he’s sent off anyway

It looked like TSS would hold on till the half to regroup but a floated free kick into the box from Timir Zhividze is headed down by Nate Shultz into the path of Francesco Amorosino

Producing a great solo effort, running past and through the Timbers defence, before making room and firing past Jordan Farr into the bottom left corner to make it one apiece

The final 13 minutes felt like an eternity for the TSS bench as they decided to ‘batten down the hatches’ and hold on for the draw
