Stoppage Time Goal the Difference in Timbers Win over St. Louis City

On Sunday at Providence Park, Portland Timbers defeated St. Louis City SC 2-1 with a stoppage-time goal by David Ayala.
St. Louis City SC, which fired manager Olof Mellberg two weeks prior and is now led by interim coach David Critchley, struggled to hold its lead.
Akil Watts scored first for St. Louis City SC in the 50th minute, but Antony equalized five minutes later before Portland earned a late corner leading to Ayala's winner.
Ayala’s 92nd-minute goal, his second of the season, secured Portland’s second straight win as goalkeeper Pantemis recorded seven saves in record heat conditions.
The result leaves Portland fourth in the Western Conference with 29 points, while St. Louis City SC conceded a late goal for the fourth time this season and continues to seek consistency.
