With goals from Argentina’s Sebastián Blanco and Diego Valeri, the Portland Timbers beat New York City FC 3-1 in the quarterfinals of the North American football league’s ‘MLS is Back’ tournament.
In the semifinals, the team led by Venezuelan Giovanni Savarese will face the Philadelphia Union on Wednesday. Yesterday’s game had compatriot Cristhian Paredes on the bench for substitutes.
In the spectator-free court of Disney World (Orlando), Portland managed to redo an initial goal by New York City from a penalty kick converted by Paraguayan Jesús Medina in the 27th minute.
The ex-liberty also saw the yellow card and was replaced in the 72nd minute by Keaton Parks. In his 61 appearances, the “guaraní” registers 13 goals.
Just before the break, Blanco made it 1-1 by taking advantage of a poor clearance from the rival lane inside the area and throwing a cross whiplash into the net.
The also Argentine Diego Valeri, whom Savarese left on the starting bench, came out in the second half and revolutionized Portland. Valeri himself made it 2-1 in the 65th minute when he clinched an assist from the Polish Jaroslaw Niezgoda inside the area.
In the 76 ‘, with just one minute on the field, the Peruvian Andy Polo put the final 3-1 with a strong shot from outside the area that went directly to the squad of Sean Johnson.

After two consecutive draws, Guaraní won his first game since the restart of the Apertura tournament, no less than against the championship leader who is Libertad.
Jorge Morel in the first half, Bautista Merlini and later Raúl Bobadilla gave the important victory to the team led by Gustavo Costas.
When the Aurinegro coach sent Maná and Bobadilla to the field, another was the story. Raúl’s definition for the third goal was exquisite, confirming that he is back and that Guaraní is recovering an important weapon for the entire second wheel.
“El Tanque” returned after an injury and used all his experience to best define a “Legendary” counterattack. He ran from area to area and subtly left-handed sent it to save to make a goal.
In 10 games played with the “Aboriginal”, Raúl has accumulated 6 goals scored and 3 assists. He arrived at the club this year and quickly demonstrated his conditions.

In another great night of today, Mexico’s America’s captain, Bruno Valdez, the Paraguayan put on his goalscorer suit again and sent it to save in the local defeat by 4-0 to Tijuana.
The Paraguayan defender scored the second goal of the “Azulcrema” when the game hour was averaged. With the “striker nose” intact, Bruno caught a rebound inside the area and scored a goal from a left-footed shot.
In this way, Valdez contributed his goalscoring share to his good performance on the defensive line. Like Richard Sánchez, he completed the ninety minutes.
With this entry, the compatriot reached no more and no less than 25 celebrations with the “Eagles”. He is just one conversion away from matching the historic mark of Alfredo Tena (26) as the highest defender with the most goals in the history of America.
In addition, there are 174 games and 6 assists that the “guaraní” has accumulated with his current institution, which he arrived in 2016 from Cerro Porteño.
