For the first time in their MLS history, the Portland Timbers have won their opening two matches of the season, defeating the host LA Galaxy 1-0 Sunday at the StubHub Center. Here are three #StatMan takeaways from the match.
18Marco Farfan became the youngest player to ever suit up for the Timbers in an MLS match. The former Timbers Academy player and Gresham, Ore. native is just 18-years and 120-days old.
82 The Timbers held the lead for 82 minutes after Diego Chara put the team ahead early. That is the longest length Portland has ever held a lead in an away victory during MLS regular-season play.
