Huge shoutout to everyone at Providence Park tonight who had the means to be there.

Real support is showing up for your club when they need it most, and they utilized that support tonight.

Hopefully the turnout is better a week from Saturday, those lads deserve it. #RCTID

Three of them!
Do the Portland Timbers score a goal tonight? #RCTID

Full Time: Sounders 1 - 0 Timbers

Spiceless in Seattle.

Steak comes to an end, and there’s not much to be excited about.

90+4’ Albert Rusnak with a nasty tackle from behind on Omir Fernandez and is given a yellow card, but the ref is summoned to the monitor and will send him off. Sounders man and their supporters can have no complaints, that’s a bad one. #RCTID

84’ Double switch - Felipe Mora, Omir Fernandez ON // Paredes, Da Costa OFF #RCTID
October 5, 2025 at 4:22 AM
78’ Triple switch for the Timbers - Guerra, Lassiter, Chara ON // Kelsy, Smith, Ayala OFF #RCTID

66' Velde spins Rothrock like a top just outside the box and flashes a left-footed curler juuuust wide of the far post. #RCTID
October 5, 2025 at 4:05 AM
64' The Timbers have pinned the Sounders into their own penalty area over the last 10 minutes but Seattle's backline has held firm. Gotta capitalize on one of these chances. #RCTID
October 5, 2025 at 4:03 AM
57’ Smith feeds Kevin with a great through-ball into the box, but Kelsy strayed just a hair offside. Put his finish wide of goal regardless. #RCTID
October 5, 2025 at 3:55 AM
53' That is a ~rough~ touch from Antony on the pass from Velde to squander a deadly counter from the Timbers. #RCTID
October 5, 2025 at 3:50 AM
46' Back underway at Lumen. #RCTID
October 5, 2025 at 3:43 AM
Halftime: Sounders 1 - 0 Timbers

Portland trail at the break, but the performance wasn't awful. Seattle capitalized on the one massive chance they created, and have been fortunate that the Timbers' end-product has been lacking.

What are we drinking? #RCTID

45' Paredes turns the ball over on the edge of Seattle's box, and the Sounders send a ball over the top for Rothrock to chase against Kamal Miller. A heavy touch takes him wide of goal, and Paredes gets back to head the cross out for a corner. #RCTID
October 5, 2025 at 3:25 AM
42' Huge kick save from Crepeau to deny Rothrock from close range and Finn Surman clears the second attack. #RCTID
October 5, 2025 at 3:23 AM
34' A beautiful passage of play from the Timbers down the right sets up Da Costa for a shot on goal, but Frei produces a good stop to push it over the bar. #RCTID
October 5, 2025 at 3:15 AM
25' Midfield shape is an absolute mess to start this match. Ball is cleared to Ferreira, who has all the time in the world to take it down, drive at the defense, and blaze a strike over the bar. #RCTID
October 5, 2025 at 3:05 AM
24' Velde is fouled on the right wing, free kick upcoming near the corner flag. #RCTID
October 5, 2025 at 3:04 AM
16' 1-0 Sounders, De la Vega scores on a cutback cross from Alex Roldan. Juan Mosquera lost his runner and Ayala couldn't cut out the cross, nothing Crepeau could have done. #RCTID
October 5, 2025 at 2:57 AM
Can anyone explain the “12” to me? #RCTID
October 5, 2025 at 2:54 AM
1' Kelsy gets things rolling #RCTID
October 5, 2025 at 2:40 AM
A loooooooooooot of empty seats in the lower bowl with minutes to go until kickoff. #RCTID
October 5, 2025 at 2:31 AM
So none of the players listed as questionable make the matchday squad (Zuparic, McGraw, Fory, Rojas), and Max Crepeau starts in goal with Pantemis injured.

Back four returns: Smith, Kamal, Finn (C), Juan

Paredes - Ayala double-pivot

Velde, DDC, Antony, Kelsy attack. #RCTID
Starting XI set for Seattle 👊

You guys are stuck with me tonight. Let’s gut some fish. #RCTID
Just a heads up for those looking for this evening's coverage of the Timber's match- @alex-barnes.bsky.social will be giving you all the goods on his personal account. Thorn's coverage will stay here for Sinc's ceremony #BAONPDX #RCTID

There’s a segment of Timbers supporters I can’t wrap my head around who make these definitive statements about the current state of the club from a really bad faith position. Very clearly have their minds made up about coaches/players/soccer ops strategy and overlook any semblance of good happening.
