MLS star blasts home atmosphere in X-rated rant following Leagues Cup defeat
Portland Timbers forward Kristoffer Velde was far from impressed with the crowd at Providence Park on Sunday during their 3-1 Leagues Cup defeat to Club América, making his feelings well known post-game
The Portland Timbers suffered a 3-1 defeat to Liga MX side Club América at Providence Park in a Leagues Cup match. Portland forward Kristoffer Velde expressed his frustration with the home atmosphere, claiming it was "s****, s***, s***, s***" and the most outrageous he had ever seen in a home game. Despite the hostile crowd, Velde's team managed a goal in the 19th minute through an errant pass from goalkeeper Rodolfo Cota.
Club América's second-half goals sealed the win. After the match, Velde blamed the vocal supporters for affecting the team's concentration, while interim head coach Jack Cassidy focused on the team's concentration and communication. Cassidy expressed pride in his team's efforts and vowed to continue their progress under new head coach Martí Cifuentes, who will take over the role.
