The Portland Timbers ended their drought with a scoring record and look to continue attacking when they visit the San Jose Earthquakes on Wednesday.

The Timbers set a one-game record for goals in their 7-2 victory last Saturday at home to Sporting Kansas City. The blast came after four games without a win (0-3-1) in an MLS game in which Portland scored only once.

Timbers (3-3-6, 15 points) scored six goals in the second half in an unexpected outburst, while Sebastian Blanco became the first player in Portland history to score two goals and assist two goals in the same match.

Blanco, who scored seven goals last season, has had none this year entering the game.

“For me, it’s a relief because only people who know me know how much I suffer when I don’t have the opportunity to play and I feel happy again on the field,” Blanco said. “I just want to help my team. If I can help, that’s welcome. If not, I’ll help off the bench or off, but I want the best for the Timbers.”

Blanco wasn’t the only Portlander to score a brace. Nathan Fogaka also scored two goals in his debut with the club.

Meanwhile, San Jose (2-5-4, 10 points) is out of a 3-3 tie at the Vancouver Whitecaps. All six goals came in the second half.

Jeremy Ibobisi scored two goals and tied for second place in the MLS league with seven goals.

“Team achievements come first,” Ibobisi said. “The goals were helpful in a tie, but in the end, I want to win. I’ve been in the MLS Cup before (with Portland in 2018). If my goals help us get there, I would be very grateful and thankful to the rest of the team who are serving those goals.”

Ebobisse was acquired from the Timbers last August after scoring 26 goals in 88 games from 2017-21. The 25-year-old is on track to smash his career best of 11 goals in 2019.

Ebobisse saw his old teammates last October 27, but was stopped during the 2-0 loss.

San Jose went 0-2-1 against Portland last season.
