Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Connor Ferguson scored twice in the final five minutes to snatch a 2-1 victory for Portland Timbers II over Saint Louis City SC 2 in MLS Next Pro. The result was a cruel blow for the hosts, who had led through Owen Jorgensen's 69th-minute strike and were minutes from three points.

The match turned decisively in the final stages. Saint Louis had taken the lead through Owen Jorgensen, assisted by Zach Zengue, after a period of pressure, but Portland refused to wilt. Connor Ferguson equalised in the 86th minute, capitalising on a Lucas Hernandez-Kim assist, before completing the turnaround with a stoppage-time winner in the 90th minute, leaving the home side stunned.

The statistics paint a tale of two halves: Saint Louis dominated the first period with 64% possession and an xG of 0.55 to Portland's 0.08, but Portland seized control after the break with 66% possession and created more with six shots to Saint Louis's four. Despite the defeat, Saint Louis edged the overall xG (1.26 to 0.65) and had more shots, but were ruthlessly punished for their wastefulness. Defender Zack Lillington was the standout for Saint Louis, earning a 7.8 rating for his composed display at the back. CheckLive's model clearly favoured Portland Timbers II and the result confirmed that prediction, though the flow of the first half suggested a different outcome.
