Portland scored its third goal in the 90th minute, when forward Antony made a long run up the right side of the field and passed the ball to Evander at the top of the box. Evander put the ball past MacMath to make it 3-0.Before Saturday night’s loss, RSL had won two straight games since getting beaten by the LA Galaxy on June 22.
