Saturday matinee featuring Toronto FC, Portland Timbers voted MLSsoccer.com Stream of the Week

Stream of the Week - 2014: Generic

Saturday's early MLS game, featuring Toronto FC and the Portland Timbers and kicking off at 1 pm ET, 10 am on the West Coast, has been voted MLSsoccer.com Stream of the Week, allowing fans to watch the match online free of charge.


Unbeaten in their last six games in all competitions, Portland are trying to secure their grip on the fifth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference after an overwhelming 3-0 win over the rival Vancouver Whitecaps last Saturday.


Toronto FC broke a six-game winless streak with Sunday's 3-0 win over hapless Chivas USA, and the Reds are now turning their attention to making up ground in the crowded Eastern Conference playoff race, sitting in seventh place but just five points out of third place. Toronto FC have one game in hand on all six of the teams currently ahead of them in the conference standings.



The game will be the first time for Timbers forward Maximiliano Urruti to face the team that brought him into the league, Toronto FC, while TFC goalkeeper Joe Bendik began his MLS career with the Timbers, and Toronto forward Bright Dike was also acquired in a trade with the Timbers.


Saturday's stream will not be available in Portland, where ROOT Sports will carry the game.
