SPORTS 4A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, AUGUST 29, 2016 Timbers defeat rival Sounders 4-2 By ANNE M. PETERSON AP Sports Writer PORTLAND — Portland erased any lingering disap- pointment about last weekend’s loss to Seattle by soundly beat- ing the Sounders this weekend. The Timbers scored four goals in the irst half Sunday then held off their Cascadia rival 4-2, snapping the Sound- ers’ ive-game unbeaten streak. “After the Seattle game we all hurt,” said Steven Taylor, who had his irst goal for Port- land in the victory. “All week was tough.” Vytautas Andriuskevicius, Fanendo Adi, Lucas Melano and Taylor all scored for the defending MLS Cup cham- pion Timbers (9-10-8). They remained in sixth place in the Western Conference. Jordan Morris scored for the Sounders (9-13-4). They also was unavailable for the U.S. national team’s upcoming World Cup qualifying matches. “I will accept the blame for the irst half. It’s my job to make sure the team is prepared, and obviously that didn’t hap- pen,” Sounders coach Brian Schmetzer said. It was the third meeting this season between the Casca- dia Cup rivals. Fans of the two teams, along with supporters of the Vancouver Whitecaps, cre- ated the Cascadia Cup in 2004 for the winner of the three-way contest based on points each AP Photo/Ted S. Warren season.

He knows he could be cut by San Francisco for this stand. Criticized and ostra- cized, he’ll go it alone if need be.

Just some four minutes later Adi scored to make it 2-0. Frei saved a shot by Diego Valeri but the ball landed in front of Adi, who fed it into the goal behind the fallen keeper. It was Adi’s 13th goal of the season. Melano scored off Diego Chara’s cross in the 29th min- ute, before Steven Taylor’s header off a free kick in the 43rd to give the Timbers a 4-0 lead going into the break. Seattle narrowed it when Andreas Ivanschitz’s shot delected off a Portland defender and past goalkeeper Jake Gleeson in the 47th min- ute. Morris scored some four minutes later with a header and the Sounders gained some momentum. “I think it was the best per- formance of the year,” Valeri said. saying he’s not overly con- cerned about his safety, but “if something happens that’s only proving my point.” “I’m going to continue to stand with the people that are being oppressed,” Kaeper- nick said Sunday at his locker. “To me this is something that has to change. When there’s signiicant change and I feel like that lag represents what it’s supposed to represent, this country is representing people the way that it’s sup- posed to, I’ll stand.” Two days after he refused to stand for the “The Star-Spangled Banner” before the 49ers’ preseason loss to the Packers, Kaeper- nick insists whatever the Girls Soccer — Rainier at Astoria, 6 p.m.; Seaside at North Marion, 4 p.m. Boys Soccer — Astoria at Corbett, 6 p.m.; North Marion at Seaside, 7:30 p.m. FRIDAY Football — North Bend at Astoria, 7 p.m.; North Marion at Seaside, 7 p.m.; Knappa at NEW consequences, he will know “I did what’s right.” He said he hasn’t heard from the NFL or anyone else about his actions — and it won’t mat- ter if he does. “No one’s tried to quiet me and, to be honest, it’s not something I’m going to be quiet about,” he said. “I’m going to speak the truth when I’m asked about it. This isn’t for look. This isn’t for pub- licity or anything like that. This is for people that don’t have the voice. And this is for people that are being oppressed and need to have equal opportunities to be successful.
