A perfectly sunny day in Portland brought both the home team good luck at Providence Park on Sunday as Toronto FC visited the Portland Timbers an the end of an eight-game road streak. The Canadians would head back home defeated, the victims of a deadly Fanendo Adi and Diego Valeri combination.

Things started out promising for the home side early when Adi first provided some goal-scoring magic at the 17th minute. That’s when Darren Mattocks and Valeri served him up some smooth passing that he coolly slotted past Toronto goalkeeper Clint Irwin.

But Toronto wouldn’t stay down long, with an equalizer coming as the first half drained--and, this time, it wasn’t from team-leading scorer Sebastian Giovinco. Instead, the Atomic Ant provided an assist to none other than ex-Timber Will Johnson, who, in the 40th minute, scored his first goal for both Toronto and the 2016 MLS season.

Valeri, though, extinguished any Toronto hopes at the 74th minute, when he converted a heart-stopping free-kick to edge the Timbers up 2-1. Toronto tried to up their own attacking pressure, but Timbers goalkeeper Jake Gleeson denied every last shot and secured his side's win.
