CCL Group 5 standings — Portland 2-0-0, CD Olimpia 2-1-0, Alpha United 0-3-0. Group winner advances to 2015 CCL quarterfinals.
Timbers — A win — which based on results to date this should be for Portland — will put the Timbers in good shape to advance to next spring’s CCL quarterfinals. A win means Portland could lose by one goal on Oct. 21 when it travels to Honduras to close out group play against CD Olimpia. The goal differential in this match will only come into play if the Timbers lose 4-2 at CD Olimpia because away goals in head-to-head matches would first be used should the Timbers and Olimpia finish tied atop the group standings.
