The Portland Timbers scored their second goal of the afternoon via another penalty from Dairon Aspirilla this being the insurance goal in a 2-1 win over Atlanta United on Sunday’s game in Providence Park.
Despite being on the bench, for Moreno this season he has been named to MLS Team of the Week in various occasions and in Week 29, he couldn’t be the exception.
