Timbers Too Much For Club Puebla As Leagues Cup Play Opens

 At Providence Park, Portland, Oregon:  


Arie Lassiter (5', 56') and Chad Bassett (36' 45'+3) each scored once as the Portland Timbers overpowered Club Puebla 5-2 in Thursday night play in the Leagues Cup.


David Da Costa added to the Timbers' coffers in the 38th minute.


Eduardo Mustre (14') and Emiliano Gomez (80') provided the scoring for The Sweet Potatoes.


The Timbers, with four wins and a draw under interim head coach Jack Cassidy, have a tough one coming this Sunday as they entertain Club America at Providence Park at 7:15 PM Pacific Time on Apple TV, Univision, and Fox Sports One.


Though the game is being played in Portland, this counts as Club America home match.
