St. Louis City ties Timbers 2-2 to extend unbeaten streak to 15

Portland's Kristoffer Velde and St. Louis City's newcomer Rafael Navarro both scored, but the Portland Timbers managed a 2-2 draw against St. Louis City. St. Louis City's unbeaten streak reached 15 games, tying the second-longest single-season streak in MLS history. FC Dallas holds the record with a 19-game run in 2010. The Timbers have not lost since a 2-0 defeat to Austin FC on May 3.

St. Louis City took an early 1-0 lead 34 seconds into the match when Navarro scored his first goal in his second appearance since joining from the Colorado Rapids. Velde scored his second goal of the night late in the second half on his 27th birthday, helping Portland pull the match to a 2-2 draw. St. Louis City has gone 9-0-6 during their current unbeaten streak, which includes a total of 9 shutouts.

James Pantemis made one save for the Timbers, while Roman Bürki made one save for St. Louis City. St. Louis City will host Minnesota United on Saturday, while Portland will take on FC Dallas on Saturday.
