PORTLAND — Felipe More scored on a penalty kick in stoppage time to pull the Portland Timbers into a 1-1 draw with Club América on Wednesday night in the first leg of their CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal.
Club América, which is second to Cruz Azul in Liga MX, took the lead on Roger Martinez’s penalty kick in first-half stoppage time.
Portland peppered Club América goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa with a flurry of second-half shots, especially in the final 20 minutes, but was unable to break through until Mora’s penalty.
The Timbers were among an unprecedented five Major League Soccer teams in the quarterfinals of the tournament. CONCACAF is the confederation for North America, Central America and the Caribbean.
