A critical match in the thick of the Western Conference chase is ahead when the Portland Timbers play host

The Timbers have put together three consecutive wins for the first time in their MLS history, coming off a 2-0 home win over the New England Revolution. The Dynamo snapped a two-game winless run last time out in league play, rolling to a 4-2 win against the New York Red Bulls at BBVA Compass Stadium.

• The Dynamo opened the scoring in just the ninth minute. After Giles Barnes earned a free kick on the left sideline, Brad Davis sent the set piece across the box to the edge of the six-yard box where an unmarked Will Bruin headed down an easy goal for the early lead.
• The Timbers pulled level just three minutes after the halftime restart. After a collision at midfield, Portland playmaker Diego Valeri picked up the ball and played a well-weighted ball into the path of Fanendo Adi, who held off a defender and deflected a shot off goalkeper Tyler Deric’s boot and into the goal.
• The Dynamo found the eventual winner with a quarter-hour to play. Getting a quick pass from Giles Barnes on the right side of the area with time and space, substitute Alexander Lopez instead laid it off back to a wide-open Barnes for a powerful blast from 12 yards out to the bvack of the net.
• The night was completed in the 83rd minute after a long ball from Jermaine Taylor found Bruin running at goal. With goalkeeper Adam Kwarasey off his line, Bruin floated his shot over the ‘keeper’s outstretched arms and into the goal to cap the scoring.

A vital match in the Western Conference picture kicks off when Seattle Sounders FC play host to the San Jose Earthquakes at CenturyLink Field on Saturday afternoon. Sounders FC moved to the top of the MLS overall table and the Supporters’ Shield race in their last league match, a 3-0 win against FC Dallas last Saturday on their home ground. The Quakes saw their winless run extended to three games in their last MLS contest, a scoreless draw with FC Dallas at Avaya Stadium two weeks ago.

• Obafemi Martins came off the bench for the final 29 minutes and scored a goal and added an assist in Sounders FC’s 3-0 home win vs. FC Dallas on Saturday night, their third consecutive victory at CenturyLink Field. Martins is tied for third in the MLS Golden Boot standings; his four assists for the season are tied for 10th-most in the league.
• The Quakes return to action after a weekend off, Chris Wondolowski having his goalscoring streak snapped at four games in a scoreless draw with FC Dallas on June 7 at Avaya Stadium.
• The teams are meeting for the second time this season. Chris Wondolowski scored a pair of goals and Innocent hit for a late game-winner as the Quakes took a 3-2 win March 14 at CenturyLink Field.
• The win in the first meeting was the first for the Earthquakes in Seattle since 2012, when they won the season series, including victories in both games at CenturyLink Field. Sounders FC haven’t scored a goal on their last three visits to northern California, since a 2-1 loss at Buck Shaw Stadium in 2012; Seattle last won at San Jose in 2010.

7 p.m. MT (UniMás; UDN)

Two Western Conference clubs looking to reverse recent skids meet on Viernes de Fútbol when the Colorado Rapids take on FC Dallas for a third time this season at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. The Rapids have won just once in their last nine matches, winless in their last three games, after a scoreless draw with Real Salt Lake in their last league game. FC Dallas are concluding their five-game road swing riding a five-game winless streak, following their 3-0 defeat at Seattle Sounders FC in their last league game.

• The Rapids saw their winless streak extended to three games with their second shutout in that time in their last match, a scoreless draw with Real Salt Lake on June 7 at Rio Tinto Stadium.
• It’s the final match of a five-game road swing for FC Dallas – where they’ve gone winless in the first four with three losses, following the 3-0 defeat at Seattle Sounders FC on Saturday. FCD are winless in their last five games overall (0-3-2) and have not scored a goal in the last 283 minutes of league play.
• The teams are meeting for the third time this season. They played twice in a three-week span in April. The Rapids put an end to their long winless and goalless streaks with a dominant 4-0 win vs. FC Dallas on April 10 at Toyota Stadium; a late Nick LaBrocca goal for Colorado left the teams in a 1-1 tie April 24 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.
• The Rapids have won just one of their last five home matches against FCD. The Rapids’ win in the first meeting this year was their first in Frisco since 2012, and ended a three-game FCD winning streak in the series.

• FC Dallas took the lead in the 32nd minute. Fabian Castillo sliced through the Rapids backline on a mazy dribbling run before dishing the ball to Mauro Diaz, who buried a low shot from the left side of the box for the opener.
• The match turned just before the hour mark. FC Dallas striker Blas Perez committed a foul away from the ball on Rapids defender Drew Moor, and referee Allen Chapman showed a red card.
• With the man advantage, the Rapids finally pulled even in the 79th minute.
