Felipe Mora scored twice in the second half of his final match with Portland, rallying the Timbers to a 2-1 victory over Real Salt Lake on Saturday night. Mora erased a 1-0 deficit with goals in the 56th and 67th minutes. He is returning to Liga MX, likely to join Atlético San Luis, as his MLS contract has expired. Mora's decisive goals gave him 48 in 145 regular-season appearances for Portland, placing him third in club history. Ariel Lassiter and Kristoffer Velde provided assists on Mora's scores. Real Salt Lake had initially taken the lead in the 18th minute through rookie defender Juan Manuel Sanabria. However, Real Salt Lake was forced to play with ten men from the 31st minute onwards after forward Morgan Guilavogul received a red card. James Pantemis made three saves for Portland, while Rafael Cabral stopped five shots for Real Salt Lake. Real Salt Lake has not won an away match since March 7.
