Portland Timbers

Giovanni Savares's club showed a decent level of play immediately after the restart of the season, thanks to which it took first place in group F. The team completed the minimum task.

Portland replaced Los Angeles Galaxy (2-1), beat Houston Dynamo with the same score and shared points with Los Angeles (2-2), although this result can be called successful. Striker Jeremy Ebobisse showed his best side and has already chalked up three goals.

The Timbers got into a fairly comfortable opponent in the person of Cincinnati, so they expect the team to win, especially after such a successful entry into the playoffs.

Cincinnati

Few believed that Cincinnati would be able to qualify for the playoffs, because Group E could be called a death group, but this did not stop the team, which after three fights ended up in second place.

Guys of Yap Stam were first defeated by Columbus (0-4), but gathered all their strength into a fist and beat Atlanta (1-0) and then made another sensation in the match with the New York Red Bulls (2 -0). In short, the underdog showed his teeth.

Tests do not end there, as in the 1/8 finals you will have to meet with Portland, so you will need to demonstrate the class again, although it seems that the club is ready for this.
