The Timbers beat LA at home 3-1. With Darlington Nagbe back from US National team duty, Porter elected to keep Sebastian Blanco on the left side of the 4-2-3-1. While I was reticent to see Nagbe switch from the left, where he has been at his most productive by Goals/Assists, it appears the switch enabled him to become the dominant player over the course of the match. Here's a link to the Audi Player Index:

Simply put, Diego Valeri is our hero, but Nagbe is at the top of the pyramid. Let's hope that trend continues and the Timbers put together a winning streak to firmly cement our playoff position heading into the Fall.
