Not everything is negative amongst the Portland Timbers. After all, they placed another player the MLS Team of the Matchday and it’s their keeper Aljaz Ivacic.
After posting a whopping eight saves in last Saturday’s game against the Whitecaps, Ivacic raised to the occasion and delivered a wondrous performance earning him a spot among the league weekly elite.
Without any doubt, Ivacic is the Timbers’ starting keeper and the man is showing off why he’s the one that should be under the Timbers arches, very well showing off one of a kind defensive moves under the arches.
Team of the Matchday (3-4-3, left to right): Aljaz Ivacic (POR) – Franco Escobar (HOU), Matt Miazga (CIN), Mohamed Farsi (CLB) – Jefferson Savarino (RSL), Josh Atencio (SEA), Carles Gil (NE), Julian Gressel (VAN) – Amine Bassi (HOU), Kei Kamara (CHI), Dénis Bouanga (LAFC)
Coach: Steve Cherundolo (LAFC)
Bench: Drake Callender (MIA), Rodrigues (SJ), Sergi Palencia (LAFC), Mark-Anthony Kaye (TOR), Pablo Ruiz (RSL), Lucas Zelarayán (CLB), Thiago Almada (ATL), Jesús Ferreira (DAL), Diego Rubio (COL)
