Here are Colin's Keys to winning the Wild Card in Portland versus the Timbers.
Good start
We know that it's never easy playing in Portland, but the 'Caps and Timbers are even in the last five games at Providence Park - 2W-2L-1D.
We need a good, solid start to the game.
The 'Caps can take their crowd out of the occasion by playing well.
Defensive organization
The Timbers finished as the joint second top scorers in the MLS Western Conference.
Evander (15g/19a), as well as forwards Jonathan RodrÃguez (16g/9a) and Felipe Mora (14g/6a) combined for 45 goals and 32 assists.
It goes without saying that our defensive oprganzation and discipline will be tested – stay focused.
All or nothing
This is what you work the entire season for.
It's all or nothing – we have to be confident we can get a result.
Portland conceded 56 goals. We need to get the ball forward and put this shaky Timbers defensive unit under pressure.
