In the 100th all-time meeting between the Portland Timbers and Vancouver Whitecaps FC, Portland earned a 3-2 victory on the strength of goals from Dairon Asprilla, Jaroslaw Niezgoda and Yimmi Chara plus a gutsy penalty kick save from goalkeeper Aljaz Ivacic. Here are three numbers to remember from the match.

Despite needing only one more to break the record, Chara had zero fouls against the Whitecaps. It is only the 30th regular season game in his 317 career appearances where Chara was not credited with a foul.
