PORTLAND TIMBERS vs SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES
PROVIDENCE PARK, Portland, Ore.
July 5, 2015 (WEEK 18, MLS Game #184)
8 p.m. PT (ESPN2 / ESPN Deportes; TSN2)

A crucial match in the Western Conference is ahead on MLS Soccer Sunday as the Portland Timbers play host to the San Jose Earthquakes at Providence Park before an ESPN2 audience. The teams are separated by just three points in the division, with the Timbers in a tie for third, and the Quakes currently sitting outside the playoff positions. Both teams won rivalry games last weekend: the Timbers returning to their winning ways with a dominant 4-1 win against Seattle Sounders FC on Sunday at home, while the Quakes defeated the LA Galaxy 3-1 on Saturday evening.

• The Timbers won their fifth game in their last six league contests in impressive fashion, storming to a 4-1 win against arch-rivals Seattle Sounders FC on Sunday afternoon at Providence Park, their second win over their Cascadia foes in 10 days after a U.S. Open Cup win.
• Fanendo Adi scored two goals yet again in a game in the Timbers’ win against Sounders FC. In the 10 games when Adi has scored a goal since coming to MLS (17 goals in all), he's scored two goals in seven of those games. He is now in a tie for third place in the MLS Golden Boot standings with eight goals.
• Matias Perez García recorded two assists – one on Chris Wondolowski’s ninth of the goal of the season, second-most in MLS this season – as the Quakes took a 3-1 win against arch-rivals LA Galaxy on Saturday evening at Stanford Stadium. Perez García has a goal and three assists over the last two matches.
• The Timbers claimed the season series a year ago, with two wins in three meetings (and one draw), entirely played over a 31-day span.
• The Timbers’ 2-1 victory on Oct. 4 of last year in Santa Clara was the first by a visiting team in the all-time league series. The Timbers have won three of six matches in Portland, with three draws, including a 3-0 win in the last meeting at Providence Park, on Oct. 8.

STUBHUB CENTER, Carson, Calif.

10:30 p.m. ET (MLS Live)

The LA Galaxy will look to regain their unstoppable home form when they head back to StubHub Center to take on Toronto FC in an interconference clash on Saturday evening. The Galaxy had scored five goals in back-to-back wins before hitting the road last weekend and suffering a 3-1 defeat at the San Jose Earthquakes in the first California Clásico of the year. TFC hits the road after concluding a three-game homestand when the club posted a 1-1-1 record with a scoreless draw with MLS overall leaders D.C. United, last Saturday at BMO Field.

• Juninho scored for a third consecutive game, but the Galaxy had their two-game winning streak and their two-match run of five-goal games put to an end in a 3-1 loss at the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday evening in the first California Clasico of the season.
• Toronto FC concluded a three-game homestand at BMO Field with a win, a loss and a draw, following their scoreless result with D.C. United on Saturday afternoon.
• Toronto FC have not defeated the LA Galaxy in league play since 2008, when they swept the season series. The Galaxy have won four of the nine meetings since, with five draws, including a 3-0 win last Oct. 4 at StubHub Center.
• Toronto FC have not won in Carson vs. the Galaxy in league play since 2008, the Galaxy having won three of the five meetings there since (with two draws). But TFC did defeat LA in 2012 in a CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal second-leg at StubHub Center.

8 p.m. MT (KMYU-12; My65 / SUN)

Two teams with nearly the same point total but in very different places in their respective conferences meet for the first time ever as Real Salt Lake play host to Orlando City SC at Rio Tinto Stadium on Saturday evening. Real have 22 points on the year – but are sitting four points out of a playoff position in the Western Conference – following their 2-2 home draw with Columbus Crew SC last Saturday. Orlando City have one more point – but the expansion club sits in a tie for third place in the Eastern Conference – coming off a 2-0 home win against the Colorado Rapids last time out.

• Sebastian Jaime and Olmes Garcia each scored their second goals over the last three games, as Real Salt Lake made it six consecutive home games without a defeat at Rio Tinto Stadium with their 2-2 draw with Columbus Crew SC on Saturday evening.
• Orlando City SC return to action after winning for the third time in their last four MLS games, claiming a 2-0 home win against the Colorado Rapids on June 24 at the Citrus Bowl. It extended their home undefeated run to five matches.
• Kaká scored his fifth goal over the last seven matches in the OCSC win against Colorado. He now has eight goals in his first MLS season, sitting in a tie for third place in the MLS Golden Boot standings.

Two teams in need of points to start a move up the Eastern Conference table meet on Saturday evening when the Montréal Impact play host to New York City FC at Stade Saputo.

• The Impact pulled a goal back in the 88th minute when center back Wandrille Lefevre latched onto a free kick flighted in by Laurent Ciman from the left flank sent a glancing header past NYCFC goalkeeper Josh Saunders.
