Vincent Janssen Scores First 3 MLS Goals in Timbers’ Wild 5-4 Victory over Minnesota United
Janssen scored his first three MLS goals in his first start as Portland survived a seven-goal second half and a late Minnesota rally.
- On Saturday, the Portland Timbers defeated Minnesota United 5-4 at Providence Park, with forward Vincent Janssen scoring three times in his first start for the club.
- The Timbers surged to a 3-0 lead within 26 minutes, aided by a 30-yard shot from midfielder Ariel Lassiter that deflected off keeper Drake Callender for an own goal and Janssen's 11th-minute penalty kick.
- Rallying back, the Loons tied the match 3-3 by the 51st minute after Marcus Caldeira scored twice and defender Anthony Markanich added a goal before halftime.
- Janssen completed his hat trick in the 55th minute, Kristoffer Velde extended the lead to 5-3 in the 71st, and Tomas Chancalay's 92nd-minute goal set the final 5-4 scoreline.
- Head coach Cameron Knowles attributed the loss to defensive errors, stating that giveaways were "self-inflicted," while the result moves Portland ahead of Minnesota in the Western Conference standings.
