Adi hit for his second in stoppage time, striking home a Steve Zakuani pass in the area, for the final score line. "For me, whats most disappointing in this game is the score line. Were not used to being in games where we lose 4-2," said Timbers head coach Caleb Porter. "I have to figure out how to correct what happened today so we can get a better result next Saturday. "It seemed like every chance they got was in the back of the net. We had a ton and somehow couldnt seem find the frame enough. It was a bit of a strange game," Porter added.
