MLS: Timbers Fall At Home To Sounders

At Portland, Oregon:

In Sunday's lone Major League Soccer match, Raul Ruidiaz scored twice (72', 83') and assisted once (on Kelvin Leerdam's goal in the 85th minute) as the Seattle Sounders punched out the Portland Timbers 3-0 on the road.

Chris Duval's goal for the Timbers in the fifth minute was negated after video review showed teammate Eryk Williamson offside.

The defeat ended Portland's eight-game unbeaten streak in all competitions.
