Following the 1-1 draw between the Portland Timbers and Seattle Sounders at Jeld-Wen Field, all three teams have played four Cascadia Cup games. Portland entered the day with a three point advantage and they maintain it, but the Timbers having to go on the road twice and both of the Whitecaps remaining games taking place at home, the cup is still within reach for all parties involved.
Standings are after the jump.
| TEAM | W | L | D | POINTS | GD |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Portland Timbers | 2 | 0 | 2 | 8 | +2 |
| Seattle Sounders | 1 | 1 | 2 | 5 | +1 |
| Vancouver Whitecaps | 0 | 2 | 2 | 2 | -3 |
The Whitecaps clearly have the toughest road to the cup, but with the aforementioned home-field advantage it's too early to rule them out completely. Portland is in control of their own destiny, but their away form on the season makes hanging on to the lead a tougher task than it might seem. Seattle is in a fairly decent position, but a win today would have made things much easier.
In any case, it looks like things will be going down to the wire once again.
