Darlington Nagbe scored in the 52nd minute and the Portland Timbers ran their MLS unbeaten streak to 13 games with a 1-0 victory over FC Dallas on Saturday. Portland (6-1-8, 26 points) pulled within two points of Western Division-leading Dallas (8-3-4). Portland hasnt dropped a match since losing to East-leading Montreal 2-1 on March 9. The victory Saturday was the Timbers sixth during their club-record unbeaten streak. Dallas lost for only the second time in its past 13 games, but both defeats came on trips to the Pacific Northwest. Dallas lost at Seattle 4-2 on May 18. Nagbe said it was "definitely the biggest win of the season," and Timbers coach Caleb Porter thought it was a highly-entertaining match despite the lack of goals. "It was outstanding soccer . a bit more of a track meet than I would have liked, but I thought we managed possession better in the second half," Porter said. Portland won the season series over Dallas, with the teams playing to a 1-1 tie May 8. The Timbers play at Dallas on June 26 in the U.S. Open Cup quarterfinals, a non-counting MLS match. Dallas outshot Portland 19-18 and forced Timbers goaltender Donovan Ricketts to make seven saves. "We had scoring chances. Were on the road and they make seven saves? Thats enough," FC Dallas coach Schellas Hyndman said. The Timbers lone goal was set up early in the second half when Kalif Alhassan passed to Nagbe in the penalty box. Nagbe pivoted to his right and blasted a 12-yard shot into the top right corner of the goal. "The ball landed perfectly for me. Once I saw the corner, I put it there," Nagbe said. It was Nagbes fifth goal of the season, tying him for the team lead with midfielder Will Johnson. "Hes the type of player who can pull off a play like that. Ive seen him do it plenty of times," Porter said of Nagbe. Both teams had several good chances to score in the first half. Portlands best came during the 15th minute when Diego Valeris header off a cross from Michael Harrington hit the cross bar. Dallas threatened seconds before halftime, but Timbers keeper Donovan Ricketts deflected Jacksons 20-yard rocket shot. Portland had several chances to add to its lead after Nagbes goal. The best was a breakaway during the 77th minute by Diego Chara, whose 10-yard shot glanced off the right post. Dallas best chance to tie came during the 72nd minute when Jackson broke away from two defenders, but his 15-yard shot sailed over the crossbar. Dallas starting forward Kenny Cooper did not play. Cooper flew back to Dallas on Saturday morning to attend to a family emergency. Eric Hassli started in his place, but he left during the seventh minute with a leg injury. "We went into the game without any strikers. Put those three guys in, and maybe its a little different today," Hyndman said. Ecco Shoes Clearance Sale.
