Player ratings: RSL 2-0 Portland

Jeff Attinella - 6.5 Mr. Attinella came up with some big saves even though a couple of them ended up being called offsides. Nice night for the best backup keeper in MLS.

Demar Phillips - 6.5 Demar was quick as a whip on defense to prevent too much from happening on his side of the field. Very respectable showing.

Elias Vasquez - 6.5 The Guatemalan had a good game, especially for having taken a red eye flight to make it on time. He and his hiked shorts did well for themselves.

Aaron Maund - 6 Maund had yet another solid performance filling in for a depleted back line. By now he has surely earned the respect of RSL fans.

Tony Beltran - 6 Beltran did what he does on the flanks and in one on one defending. He even got into the attack pretty regularly and nearly scored after a nice run. He gave up the ball a few times but recovered quickly.

Luke Mulholland - 7 For me, Mulholland was the best defender on the night. He broke up more than his fair share of plays and brought the grit and fight that Beckerman typically brings to a match.

Luis Gil - 6 Gil had a slow first half like the rest of his teammates. His second half was better. He did well to connect and create. He had some passes that were off the mark, but he was very involved.

Javier Morales - 6.5 A perfectly taken penalty was his best moment. For some reason there was a repeated miscmunication between him and Beltran though.

Olmes Garcia - 7 Garcia's assist was perfectly placed for Jaime to put it to bed. He is looking rather dangerous these days. Frankly his time was due.

Sebastian Jaime - 7.5 Man of the match. He now has three goals in four games and seems to have found his bearings on MLS. He had a quality game and his touch on his goal shows that.

Joao Plata - 5.5 Plata earned a PK but lost the ball a handful of times at the top of the box in similar fashion each time. He did have some positive contributions to be sure.

Substitutions

Abdoulie Mansally - 6 Mansally came on and helped keep the Timbers from making any sort of comeback. He also pushed forward when he could.

John Stertzer - N/A

Sebastian Saucedo - N/A
