Portland Timbers II 2:3 San Jose Earthquakes II — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Jacob Heisner scored twice in the second half as San Jose Earthquakes II came from behind to beat Portland Timbers II 3-2, a result that leaves the Timbers searching for answers after squandering a lead on home soil.

The match turned through a frantic four-minute spell either side of the hour mark. Eric Izoita had headed Portland in front again in the 52nd minute from Lucas Hernandez-Kim’s assist, but Jacob Heisner equalised for San Jose just two minutes later, finishing Martin Kwende Junior’s pass. Heisner then struck the decisive blow in the 64th minute, converting Edwyn Mendoza’s delivery, after Nicklas Lund had been booked for a clumsy challenge just before half-time and Mendoza himself saw yellow for the visitors later on.

Portland were the better side for long stretches, particularly in the first half, yet they could not turn that pressure into a winning scoreline. CheckLive’s model clearly favoured Portland Timbers II, but that prediction was not confirmed, and the live signals backing them at short odds proved equally wide of the mark.
