U.S. OPEN CUP 3RD ROUND: CAL FC VS. PORTLAND TIMBERS STREAMS LIVE ONLINE TONIGHT May 30, 2012 From thecup.us: U.S. OPEN CUP 3RD ROUND: CAL FC VS. PORTLAND TIMBERS STREAMS LIVE ONLINE TONIGHT Cal FC (USASA - Cal South) at Portland Timbers (MLS)
Round 4 scenarios (June 5):
If any team can have "giant killer" status, Cal FC are definitely merit of that. In the first round, they met PDL champs Kitsap Pumas and sent them packing early, with the help from former US youth international Danny Barrera netting two goals in the 3-1 victory. Cal FC traveled to Wilmington, knocking off the USL Pro side 4-0. Barrera won his second straight TheCup.us Player of the Round award by scoring two more goals, along with Artur Aghasyan and Pedro Ferreira-Mendez contributing. Cal FC are just the second USASA team from Southern California to win a US Open Cup game. The first team, Hollywood United, also faced the Portland Timbers in the next round. The Timbers were a USL First Division team at the time and were upset by Hollywood 3-2. The current form of the Timbers could be better, with only one win in the month of May and three draws to go along with it. Portland's three league wins this season have all come playing at home so far, with their home record standing at 3-2-2. The Timbers are currently 7th in the Western Conference and 14th in all of MLS. This will be the first time for Portland's MLS team to enter the US Open Cup, and the first time since 2010 a Timbers franchise has been in the tournament. Modern Pro Era Open Cup Records: Cal FC
