The Portland Timbers were able to recover from Wednesday's disappointment in fine fashion, beating the San Jose Earthquakes 3-1 in front of an appreciative crowd at Providence Park.
Jack McInerney decided to do it all himself to get the Timbers on the board in the second half, and after the Timbers suffered two major second half injuries – Adam Kwarasey leaving with an apparent hand injury; Darren Mattocks, after crashing into a San Jose midfielder – Fanendo Adi came on and made an immediate impact, scoring Portland's second, and eventually third, goal.
Chris Wondolowski earned – and coverted – a penalty in stoppage time, before Adi beat both David Bingham and the final whistle.
