The Portland Timbers left it late to win a pair of USL First Division matches. The Timbers won, 1-0, at California, on a goal by David Hague in the 89th minute, and defeated Miami two days later by the same score on a goal by fellow rookie, Kenyan Lawrence Olum. The Timbers, who have allowed a league-low seven goals in 11 games, moved into fifth place with the wins. A goal from midfielder Antonio Ribeiro in stoppage time of the second half gave the Montreal Impact a 1-0 win over Puerto Rico in front of 12,844 spectators at the Claude-Robillard Sports Complex.
