Boli’s late goal helps Portland earn 1-1 draw with Dallas

KTVZ

FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Franck Boli scored in the second minute of second-half stoppage time to rally the Portland Timbers to a 1-1 draw with FC Dallas on Saturday night.

Portland (1-3-2) was staring at its seventh loss in the last nine road matches against Dallas before Boli took a pass from Dairon Asprilla and scored the equalizer.

Neither team scored until Facundo Quignon found the net in the 74th minute with an assist from Geovane Jesus to put Dallas (2-2-2) on top.

Dallas has lost just once in its last 12 home matches, including the playoffs. Its 12 home victories since the beginning of last season trail only LAFC (16) and the Philadelphia Union (14).

The Timbers only win in 15 trips to Frisco came in 2014. Portland beat Austin 2-1 last August for just its third regular-season victory in 28 visits to the state of Texas.

The Timbers entered play having conceded 11 goals in a three-game skid on the road dating to last season.

Portland travels to play the Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday. Dallas hits the road to play Inter Miami on Saturday.
