Fanendo Adi and Gbenga Arokoyo were on parade for Portland Timbers in their disappointing 4-1 loss to Vancouver Whitecaps at the BC place, as their dream of retaining the MLS Cup faded away. Caleb Porter's side who were 2015 MLS Cup champions needed a win to contend for this year's title after an horrific season of 14 losses, but a disappointing team performance and a poor defensive display in their final league game ended their chances of making to the top six of the Western Conference. Nigeria's Fanendo Adi who was in action for the entire duration couldn't increase his goal tally to 17 league goals as Diego Valeri’s penalty gave Timbers their only goal in the 72nd minute after Giles Barnes’ brace plus goals from Nicolas Mezquida and Pedro Morales fired the Caps to victory.
