PORTLAND, Oregon — Sebastian Blanco’s goal in the 53rd minute was the final tally in the playoff-bound Portland Timbers' 3-0 victory over Austin FC on Sunday in the final regular-season game.
The Timbers already clinched the fourth spot in the standings with a 3-1 victory over Real Salt Lake on Wednesday. As a result, Portland will open the playoffs with a home match against Minnesota, which played to a 3-3 draw with the LA Galaxy. As of Nov. 8, a date for the match had not been set yet.
Austin had been eliminated before Sunday's game. Portland set a club record for most wins in a season.
