PORTLAND, Ore.
– Individual and group tickets for the Portland Timbers’ fourth-round U.S. Open Cup showdown with the San Jose Earthquakes on Wednesday, Aug. 3, are still available, as one of Major League Soccer’s best makes the trip to PGE Park.
The event comes on the heels of the Timbers’ spirited match against Sunderland AFC of the English Premier League, giving fans yet another chance to watch Portland square off against top-level competition.
