Fanendo Adi took a pass from Diego Valeri before slotting
home to put the Timbers ahead in the 52nd minute, and that goal
looked as if it would be enough until Borchers tried to clear a
cross from Galaxy’s Sebastian Lletget and scored an own goal.
Portland have now won just one of their first five games and are
second from bottom in the Western Conference.
Galaxy, who lost defender Robbie Rogers to a hip injury in the
eighth minute, are fourth in the West.
In the day's other games, Seattle defender Chad Marshall scored
in stoppage time to earn the Sounders a 1-1 draw with Houston
Dynamo, while New York City FC and Chicago Fire played out a
scoreless draw.
"It was tough to break them down,” Marshall told reporters after
scoring his first regular season goal in 55 matches.
“I’m glad I could get up there, throw my body around, and got
one.”
