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

Kaepernick will keep sitting through anthem

SANTA CLARA, Calif.
— Deiant, and determined
to be a conduit for change,
Colin Kaepernick plans to sit
through the national anthem
for as long as he feels is
appropriate and until he sees
signiicant progress — specif-
ically when it comes to race
relations in the United States.
He knows he could be
cut by San Francisco for this
stand. Criticized and ostra-
cized, he’ll go it alone if need
be.
The quarterback real-
izes he might be treated
poorly in some road cities,
and he’s ready for that, too,

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-

minutes later with a header
and the Sounders gained some
momentum.

this country is representing
people the way that it’s sup-
