Portland Timbers•DefenderVancouver Whitecaps secured a dramatic 3-2 victory over Portland Timbers in a match that showcased their attacking dominance despite falling behind. The Whitecaps controlled proceedings with 61% possession and 22 shots to Portland's 8, creating six big chances in the process. After Édier Ocampo's early opener, Portland struck back through Juan Mosquera's corner-kick thunderbolt and David da Costa's clinical finish just before halftime to take a 2-1 lead.
