3 COLUMBUS CREW SC vs PORTLAND TIMBERS MAPFRE STADIUM, Columbus, Ohio September 26, 2015 (WEEK 30, MLS Game #301) 7:30 p.m. ET (TWC-OH; KPDX) A critical match in the playoff picture in both conferences is ahead when Columbus Crew SC play host to the Portland Timbers on Saturday evening at Mapfre Stadium. Crew SC are holding down second place in the Eastern Conference and a potential bye for the knockout round, winning a second consecutive game on their travels last weekend with a 2-1 win at D.C. United. The Timbers are holding onto sixth place in the West and the final playoff position by just a single point, their winless run extended to four games with a 2-0 home loss to the New York Red Bulls last Sunday. REFEREE: Silviu Petrescu. AR1 (bench): Craig Lowry; AR2 (opposite): Kathryn Nesbitt; 4 th : Nima Saghafi MLS Career: 104 games; FC/gm: 27.5; Y/gm: 3.6; R: 14; pens: 21 SUSPENDED: none WARNINGS: SUSPENDED NEXT YELLOW CARD: CLB: Kei Kamara POR: Alvas Powell SUSPENDED AFTER TWO YELLOW CARDS: CLB: Federico Higuain, Kevan George, Hector Jimenez, Emanuel Pogatetz, Justin Meram, Tony Tchani, Chris Klute POR: Diego Chara, Rodney Wallace, Diego Valeri, Lucas Melano DISABLED LIST: CLB: Sagi Lev-Ari INTERNATIONAL ABSENCES: none HEAD-TO-HEAD ALL-TIME (5 meetings): Crew SC 2 wins, 5 goals Timbers 1 win, 4 goals Ties 2 AT COLUMBUS (2 meetings): Crew SC 2 wins, 2 goals Timbers 0 wins, 0 goals Ties 0 LAST YEAR (MLS): 5/17: POR 3, CLB 3 (Urruti 5; Johnson 80; Fernandez 85 Higuain 14, 50+; Finlay 81) This is the only league meeting between the teams this season. The Crew have won both meetings all-time in Columbus, both by 1-0 scorelines, including a victory in the last matchup there in The teams have played to two successive draws in Portland, including a 3-3 draw there last May 17 in the only meeting between the teams. The Timbers won 1-0 at home in 2011 in the first encounter ever between the clubs. Coaches record: Gregg Berhalter vs. POR: P1 W0 L0 D1 Caleb Porter vs. CLB: P2 W0 L1 D1 COLUMBUS CREW SC Columbus Crew SC won for a second consecutive game on the road, defeating D.C. United 2-1 on Saturday evening at RFK Stadium. Crew SC are in second place in the Eastern Conference with 47 points from 30 matches. LAST MATCH Crew SC found the opener in the 27th minute. Michael Parkhurst played in a ball from 40 yards out toward the arc, Kei Kamara nodded it on to Crew SC center back Tyson Wahl at the near edge of the area, and Wahl slipped a pass across to Finlay in the goal area. Finlay quickly swiveled before knocking it home past United goalkeeper Bill Hamid. Kamara doubled the Columbus lead shortly after the halftime whistle. Played through by Tony Tchani, Kamara accelerated past a United defender and used a deft, right-footed shot to slot past Hamid. United were tossed a lifeline in the 67th minute when fullback Sean Franklin streaked down the flank and sent in a ball that Crew SC defender Chris Klute clearly handled. Referee Ted Unkel pointed to the spot without hesitation, and Chris Rolfe stepped up to take the ensuing penalty kick, smashing it into the upper corner. Crew SC head coach Gregg Berhalter made one change to the team that defeated Philadelphia Union 2-0 at PPL Park. Chris Klute came into the back four for Waylon Francis. COLUMBUS CREW SC ( ): Steve Clark - Harrison Afful, Michael Parkhurst, Tyson Wahl, Chris Klute (Hector Jimenez 76) - Wil Trapp, Tony Tchani - Ethan Finlay (Emanuel Pogatetz 83), Federico Higuain, Justin Meram (Kristinn Steindorsson 79) - Kei Kamara. TEAM NEWS Crew SC won a second consecutive game with the victory at D.C. United, matching their longest winning streak of the season (achieved three times previously). What we knew was that the matchup was going to be, a tough conference matchup. D.C. is a very good team, they ve proven it all year, and we knew it was going to have a playoff style atmosphere to it, said Crew SC MLS GAME INFORMATION

4 boss Gregg Berhalter. I think the guys came out of it in good shape. I think we proved to ourselves that we can stay calm and execute our game whether at home or on the road. The win was also the fourth in a row on the road for Crew SC the longest in the club s 20-year history. The all-time MLS record is seven consecutive away victories (LA, ; DC, 1999). Look at the table of away game results this year and see where we are. I think that s what s important to do. We grinded out ties on the road in the beginning of the year in hostile environments on different surfaces with travel, and we hung in there. We still believed in the team, we believed in their potential on the road and you can see now that we are starting to get the results, said Berhalter. Added Kei Kamara: This is the most important time of the season, and when we look at it, it s not just about making the playoffs, but about being on top of the East, and the best way for us to do this is to win games. Unfortunately, some of these games don t go well, so we really have to win and get points from our road games. Kamara scored his third goal in the last two matches, and now has 21 goals for the season tied for the 11thmost in a single season in MLS history. Kamara also added an assist; he has been involved in each of Crew SC s last four goals. Kei has that in him. He has that break-away, pull-away, get-behind-the-defense in him and it s up to us to get him a ball in positions like that more often, said Berhalter. Ethan Finlay scored his ninth goal of the season, his first since Aug. 22, again assisted by Kamara. Kamara and Finlay have assisted on each other s goals on 12 of the 30 total MLS goals they ve scored. Tony Tchani collected an assist, his fourth of the season, first since his two-assist game Aug. 8 vs. Colorado. The four assists are his second-highest single-season total in his MLS career, after recording six assists a season ago. Tony is a huge part of our team, and he s responsible for moving the ball side-to-side and when the opportunity presented itself to make that final pass, he did. He played an outstanding ball to Kei [Kamara] for the goal, but he was aggressive moving the ball from side-to-side and getting shooting opportunities, said Berhalter. PORTLAND TIMBERS The Portland Timbers had their winless run extended to four games, falling to 2-0 decision to the New York Red Bulls on Sunday afternoon at Providence Park. The Timbers are in sixth place in the Western Conference with 41 points from 29 matches. LAST MATCH The goals came in a four-minute stretch just before halftime. In the 43rd minute, Felipe took a throw-in near midfield, dribbled into space and teed up a right-footed shot from more than 30 yards out that knuckled over the reach of Timbers keeper Adam Kwarasey and into the far corner of the net. Then after the Red Bulls saw a tap-in attempt by Gonzalo Veron in front of goal that was saved off the line by Timbers fullback Alvas Powell, Damian Perrinelle converted a looping header over the reach of Kwarasey on a ball served into the box by Sal Zizzo from the right flank to finish off the match. Timbers head coach Caleb Porter made five changes to the team that reached a scoreless draw with Sporting Kansas City at Providence Park. Alvas Powell and Liam Ridgewell came into the back four for Taylor Peay and Norberto Paparatto, Diego Chara and Will Johnson came into the midfield in place of George Fochive and Jack Jewsbury, and Maximiliano Urruti started up top in place of Fanendo Adi. PORTLAND TIMBERS ( ): Adam Kwarasey - Alvas Powell (Dairon Asprilla 76), Nat Borchers, Liam Ridgewell, Jorge Villafana - Diego Chara, Will Johnson (Rodney Wallace 66) - Darlington Nagbe, Diego Valeri, Lucas Melano - Maximiliano Urruti (Fanendo Adi 56). TEAM NEWS The Timbers had their winless streak extended to four games with the home defeat by the Red Bulls, their second four-game winless run over their last 10 matches (also: July 11-Aug. 2). The Timbers were also held without a goal for a second consecutive match, the second time this season they ve been shut out in back-to-back games (also: April 26-May 2). A lot of times I have answers after a game on why this, why that, a lot times it s easy to say the other team is better. Sometimes we were poor. Sometimes it was finishing. Sometimes it s defending. You know I think this is a combination of things and I need time look at it and think about it. We didn t look sharp from the start, said Porter. We didn t have many chances early in the game. We ended up finishing with 17 shots. We had plenty of chances to again score, but we are down 2-0 when we start getting all those chances. We did have the one first half from six yards out at nil-nil. We score that and it s a different game, but I m not sure we would have deserved to be up, said Porter. It s disappointing and we have to sort it out and we are going to have to go on the road and win now. Do it the hard way. MLS GAME INFORMATION

5 The Timbers also had their home winless streak extended to three games (0-1-2); the club record is six consecutive games without a win at Providence Park, set in The biggest thing is we need to step up now and go on the road and get points. We are still in position but because we didn t take care of business today we are hanging on by a thread. We are one point ahead and we didn t get that cushion that we were hoping to get and that is extremely disappointing, said Porter. Will Johnson and Diego Chara each returned to the Timbers lineup following a two-match absence, returning to complete the central midfield axis. Maximiliano Urruti made his first league start since July 25, coming in as the out-and-out striker and playing 56 minutes before being replaced by Fanendo Adi. We ve been playing well but we haven t been finishing. Adi scored two goals off the bench against New England. Maxi has played really well at home. We ve gotten results with him at home, D.C., New England, Houston he started those games and all were wins. We felt his ability to pressure was a factor. Putting him with [Lucas] Melano and [Diego] Valeri they ve got a natural chemistry. That was a factor. And the fact that he is probably our most natural finisher. He obviously has some different strengths and weaknesses, said Porter. Adi has more physicality. We've played well with Adi, but the fact of the matter is we haven t been getting production. So it was me trying to flip a switch. I thought if the ball fell to Maxi he might be able to finish it and get hot because recently although Adi has played well the last five games he hasn t scored so eventually changes have to be made when we re not scoring goals and not getting results.

19 MLS MATCH 31: COLUMBUS CREW SC VS. PORTLAND TIMBERS FC KAMARA SCORES AT D.C., MAINTAINS GOAL-SCORING LEAD Forward Kei Kamara notched his 21st goal of the 2015 MLS regular-season last weekend at D.C., and the Crew SC forward continues to lead the League in the category... the Sierra Leone international has two more goals than Toronto FC s Sebastian Giovinco... all 21 of Kamara s goals have been non-penalties... excluding spot kicks, Kamara is the League-leader by five goals over Giovinco, who has 16 non-penalties... see below for a detailed breakdown of the League s top scorers this year: Player/Club...Goals Shots Shots on Goal GP Kei Kamara/CLB Sebastian Giovinco/TFC David Villa/NYC Robbie Keane/LA Chris Wondolowski/SJ KAMARA AT 21 GOALS, IS THE 13TH MLS PLAYER TO HIT THAT TOTAL By scoring his 21st goal of the 2015 MLS regular season last weekend at D.C. United, forward Kei Kamara built upon what is just the second 20-goal campaign in Crew SC history as well as the first since forward Stern John scored 26 goals that year, which is the all-time single-season club record... Kamara is now one of 13 players to ever hit 21 single-season goals in the history of the League, via Matthew Doyle and MLSsoccer.com: 1996: Roy Lassiter (27); Raul Diaz Arce (23); Eduardo Hurtado (21) 1998: Stern John (26) 2000: Mamadou Diallo (26) 2002: Carlos Ruiz (23); Taylor Twellman (22) 2012: Chris Wondolowski (27) 2013: Camilo Sanvezzo (22); Mike Magee (21) 2014: Bradley Wright-Phillips (27): Dom Dwyer (22) 2015: Kei Kamara (21) - in progress HIGUAIN REACHES CENTURY MARK By starting and playing 90 minutes last weekend at RFK Stadium, Crew SC midfielder Federico Higuain made his 100th appearance for the club since signing as a Designated Player on July 27, he became the 23rd player to ever hit the mark in Black & Gold, as well as the third active member of the club to do so, joining Justin Meram (117 appearances) and Tony Tchani (105). FINLAY JOINS THE 20/20 CLUB By scoring the opening goal last Saturday at D.C. United, midfielder Ethan Finlay notched his 20th career MLS regular-season tally and became just the seventh player in club history to register 20 career goals and 20 career assists (Jeff Cunningham, Brian McBride, Eddie Gaven, Guillermo Barros Schelotto, Federico Higuain, Brian Maisonneuve)... from Adam Jardy s story in The Columbus Dispatch, a quote from Finlay on the accomplishment: The first two years I was in the league, it is what it is. We keep going back to it, but it s been great. The numbers I ve been able to put up and more importantly looking at the standings the last two years where our team has been at and how many points we ve had. Being a part of that team success also makes the individual success that much sweeter. I was drafted by this club, so to be able to return 20 goals and 20 assists to them feels pretty good. FINLAY S LAST 53 MATCHES Ethan Finlay s first Major League Soccer regular-season goal came in the last time Crew SC faced-off against Portland, on May 17, 2014 at Providence Park... since that date, Finlay has notched all 20 career goals and 20 career assists over a 53-match span... over that span, he has notched at least one goal or one assist in 32 of the 53 contests and only two other MLS players have more combined goals and assists: Robbie Keane (29 goals, 20 assists) and Bradley-Wright Phillips (32 goals, nine assists). TRAPP NAMED FOURTH IN 24 UNDER 24 Earlier this week, Crew SC midfielder Wil Trapp was ranked fourth in MLSsoccer.com s 24 Under 24 list, an annual compilation of the League s best players under the age of Trapp was ranked ninth in a quote from Sporting Director and Head Coach Gregg Berhalter on Trapp, courtesy of ColumbusCrewSC.com s Alex Stec: He s a guy that brings it every single day and he always wants to get better, he always wants to improve. He always pushes guys and leads by example. He s a good mix between a fierce competitor and a cerebral commander. That mix makes him very valuable, particularly in the position he plays for us on the field. FOUR IN A ROW Crew SC s win against D.C. United last weekend at RFK Stadium was its fourth road victory in a row, a feat that the Black & Gold had never before accomplished in MLS regular-season play. OVERALL ROAD SUCCESS By defeating D.C. United last weekend at RFK Stadium, Crew SC won its fifth MLS regular-season road match out of its last six... the Black & Gold are one of just four clubs this season to have won four road matches, joining the New York Red Bulls, Vancouver Whitecaps FC and the San Jose Earthquakes... Crew SC is the only MLS club this season to win five out of six road matches. AHEAD OF THE PACE With four matches to go in the 2015 regular season, Crew SC s record of (47 points) is ahead of last season s mark to this point in the year, which was (43 points)... Crew SC currently ranks second in the Eastern Conference and sits just one point out of the top spot, behind the New York Red Bulls, who have 48 points in 28 matches played. BERHALTER IS CREW SC S ALL-TIME POINTS-EARNED PERCENTAGE LEADER This weekend is set to be Crew SC Sporting Director and Head Coach Gregg Berhalter s 65th all-time regular-season match at the helm of the Black & Gold...
