Portland Timbers 3-1 San Diego result, stats and report

Anders Dreyer scored twice for San Diego to cancel out goals from Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez, as Inter Miami's inability to hold a lead condemned them to yet another draw in MLS.

Aleksey Miranchuk's 28th-minute finish, assisted by Miguel Almirón, was enough for Atlanta United to take all three points from a Portland Timbers side that created chance after chance and converted precisely none of them.

Philadelphia Union were utterly dominant in San Diego, winning 5-0 with Cavan Sullivan grabbing a brace and the hosts reduced to a shambles after a VAR card at half-time. San Diego never competed.

LA Galaxy host San Diego on Sunday having already lost to them once in the recent past. The question is whether they have the desire to make it right, or whether this is just another uncomfortable evening at home.

Austin have not lost in five matches and San Diego have not won in three. Something has to give on Sunday morning, and the evidence points firmly in one direction.

Two teams who cannot keep a clean sheet between them meet at LA Galaxy on Thursday night. Something has to give, and based on the evidence, it probably will not be the scoreline staying low.

San Diego have shipped ten goals in their last five matches and are running out of road. Houston Dynamo arrive having kept seven clean sheets in their last ten. Something has to give.
