July 11, 2015 (WEEK 19, MLS Game #186)
7 pm ET (MLS LIVE)

• Maurice Edu scored his first league goal since last May 25 and Eric Ayuk Mbu scored his second goal of the season, but Union still settled for a 2-2 draw with the Montréal Impact in their last match, June 27 at PPL Park.
• The Timbers won their fifth consecutive game at Providence Park and for a sixth time in their last seven league encounters as Jack Jewsbury scored the dramatic stoppage-time match-winner for a 1-0 victory against the San Jose Earthquakes on Sunday evening. Both of Jewsbury’s goals this season have been stoppage-time game-winners, his first two in MLS play since 2012.
• Union have never defeated the Timbers. In five meetings all-time, Portland has won three, with two draws.
• Both meetings between the teams at PPL Park have ended in scoreless draws. The lone meeting between the teams a year ago was also a draw, a 1-1 result at Providence Park.
