Portland Timbers 2026 season

Atlanta United defeated Portland Timbers 1-0, with Alexey Miranchuk scoring his first goal since April via a curling left-footed strike in the 28th minute, set up by Miguel Almirón. The result gave Atlanta their second consecutive clean sheet, boosting their playoff push, with goalkeeper Lucas Hoyos and the defense holding firm through second-half pressure. Portland had several chances, including efforts from Kristoffer Velde, Ariel Lassiter, Cole Bassett, and Vincent Janssen, but could not find an equalizer. Atlanta also dealt with injuries to Paulo Díaz, who briefly left and returned, and Tomás Jacob, who was substituted for Matt Edwards.
