Portland Timbers beat FC Dallas but results fail to go their way
FRISCO, Texas -- Darlington Nagbe and Maximiliano Urruti scored to lead the Portland Timbers to a 2-0 win over FC Dallas on Saturday night.
Portland (12-9-13) moved into the final playoff spot briefly on Saturday night, before Vancouver's home win over Colorado. FC Dallas (16-12-6) retained the No. 4 spot, but only needed a draw to earn the third seed and a bye in the knockout round.
Because of the Whitecaps victory over the Rapids at BC Place, the Timbers have been eliminated from playoff contention.
Nagbe scored in the 43rd minute on a long-distance shot that ricocheted off defender Zach Loyd and drifted into the upper left corner of the goal. It was his first MLS regular-season goal since Oct. 6, 2013.
Urruti added his 10th goal in the 82nd minute.
FC Dallas had won eight consecutive home games.
