Farrington and Valiente score goals, Dallas beats Timbers 2-1 for 3rd straight
win
FRISCO, Texas (AP) --- Logan Farrington and Joaqun Valiente each scored a goal
Saturday night to help FC Dallas beat the Portland Timbers 2-1 for their third
win in a row.
Daniel De Sousa Britto --- known simply as "Daniel" --- had four saves for
Dallas (12-6-7), which has won five of its last six.
Ariel Lassiter scored in the third minute of stoppage time for the Timbers
(9-11-5). James Pantemis had three saves.
Farrington perfectly timed his run onto a ball-ahead played by Shaq Moore and
slipped a first-touch shot from near the right corner of the 6-yard box past
Pantemis into a wide-open net to open the scoring in the 45th minute.
Petar Musa's first-touch shot, off a Portland giveaway, was parried by
Pantemis. Musa tracked down the rebound and played a first-touch cross to
Valiente at the back post for the finish that made it 2-0 in the 87th.
Lassiter poked a first-touch shot into the corner of the net.
The Timbers had 56% possession and outshot Dallas 17-9.
