A late goal from David Ayala in the 91st minute sealed the win for the Timbers.

The Timbers, with slightly more possession (51.6%), managed to convert one of their late chances. The AI's pre-game prediction of a Portland Timbers win proved accurate.
Portland's recent form has been somewhat inconsistent, alternating between wins and draws, but their home form appears to be a stabilizing factor, with this win following a similar result against Colorado. St. Louis CITY SC, similarly, have struggled for consistency, with their recent form marked by alternating wins and losses. This match continues a trend of closely contested games between the two sides, with several previous encounters ending in draws or narrow victories for either team.
Looking ahead, Portland will host San Jose Earthquakes, while St. Louis CITY SC will host LA Galaxy. Both teams will be looking to build on this game, or to bounce back from the defeat, respectively.
