Portland tops Houston, reach knockout stage. MORE:
With a pair of wins to open the World Cup-style tournament, the Timbers have secured one of the top two spots in Group F going into Thursday's match against the Los Angeles Football Club.
“We are in a group with three difficult opponents, so every game is a must win,” Houston coach Tab Ramos said. “At the moment, we have one point and still have a chance.” The Dynamo pulled within a goal in the 86th minute when Elis converted a penalty kick, which was awarded after Portland's Jorge Villafaña was called for a handball in the box. Ellis, who has two goals in the tournament, received his second yellow card of the match two minutes later as Houston played a man down the remainder of the match.
