Also at the half, Seattle brought in Gomez for Fernandez. #RCTID

CORRECTION: Sounders goal ruled an own goal. Portland leading 4-1. #RCTID

by Portland Timbers via twitter 8/28/2016 10:14:15 PM
Steven Taylor just elegantly headed that ball into his own net. Like Caravaggio painting his own death in beautiful chiaroscuro.

by Will Parchman via twitter 8/28/2016 10:14:21 PM
47' - AND IT'S A GOAL FROM IVANSCHITZ! 4-1 #PORvSEA

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 8/28/2016 10:14:38 PM
For as good as the Timbers attack looked in the first half, if there's any team in MLS that's capable of blowing a four-goal lead ...

by Matt Pentz via twitter 8/28/2016 10:14:50 PM
48' - CORRECTION: Looks like goal is ruled own goal by Taylor. I guess we'll still take it...#PORvSEA

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 8/28/2016 10:16:02 PM
Even when the Sounders get on the board, it’s because the Timbers scored again. Taylor accidentally deflected a header in, hah. 4-1 #PORvSEA

GOAL Seattle. Morris from Lodeiro. All of a sudden, it's 4-2 at Providence Park

51' - GOAL. Seattle's Lodeiro lofts in a ball in the mixer for Morris who heads it into goal. Timbers lead 4-2. #RCTID

by Portland Timbers via twitter 8/28/2016 10:17:26 PM
This derby never, ever disappoints. 4-2, Portland. 40 minutes left. So ridiculous. #PORvSEA .

Seattle is reenacting their 2016 season, compacted into 90 mins. HT was the Schmid firing. This is the post-Nico push. #PORvSEA #MLS #art

Seattle cuts the lead in half and they away support lets them know it! #PORvSEA vine.co/v/5ewrJBKAurv

Portland spent the first 15 minutes plowing into Sounders, knocking them off the ball. That aggression's gone. #PORvSEA #MLS

Herculez Gomez nearly surges onto a cross at the back post. All Sounders at the moment

by Matt Pentz via twitter 8/28/2016 10:22:00 PM
Vytas' defending at left back is a perfect fit for a rivalry that always produces goals. #PORvSEA #MLS

by Richard Farley via twitter 8/28/2016 10:22:16 PM
Lodeiro with a beautiful ball to Morris.

Just like that, the #Sounders are back in business. #PORvSEA snpy.tv/2bur5FJ

I knew I recognized that Adi-Torres free kick battle from somewhere. t.co

58' - SAVE! Gleeson parries a way a hard shot as Seattle went out on the break following a Timbers corner. #RCTID

by Portland Timbers via twitter 8/28/2016 10:24:06 PM
And we have handbags. #PORvSEA

by Jonathan Tannenwald via twitter 8/28/2016 10:25:25 PM
58' - MORRIS! With a driven effort but Gleeson is up to the task #PORvSEA

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 8/28/2016 10:25:32 PM
No team in the history of Sounders/Timbers rivalry had ever scored 3 or more goals in the 1st half of a #RCTID /SEA match until today

59' - Adi and Alonso having words behind the play. Ref comes in to calm things down. #RCTID

by Portland Timbers via twitter 8/28/2016 10:25:42 PM
58' - Sooo one could say in a purely hypothetical sense that if this comeback WERE to happen...this is an acceptable rate of goalscoring no?

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 8/28/2016 10:25:52 PM
Adi and Torres exchange pleasantries away from the ball
