In 20th annual MLS Cup Final, Diego Valeri (at 27 seconds, the earliest goal in the history of Major League Soccer's championship game) and Rodney Wallace (7') each scored a goal as the Portland Timbers, in the fifth season of their current existence, became the first club from Cascadia to win the MLS Cup title, 2-1 on the road over the Columbus Crew.
Kai Kamara scored for the Crew in the 18th minute.
With the victory, the Timbers qualified for a berth in the group stage of the 2016-17 CONCACAF Champions League.
Seen here are the happy Timbers celebrating their championship as they completed the season with a nine-match unbeaten streak.
