16 With his penalty-kick goal, midfielder Diego Valeri tallied his 16th goal of the season, tying him for most MLS goals by a Timbers player in a single season. It is the third straight season the Timbers have had a 16-goal scorer as Fanendo Adi reached the mark in 2015 and 2016. The tally also marked Valeri's sixth straight match with a goal.
52 Portland finished the match with 52 percent of the possession against the Sounders. In all three matches versus Seattle this season, the Timbers have out-possessed their Cascadia rival.
95.5 Midfielder Darlington Nagbe finished the match completing 95.5 percent of his passes, connecting on 63 of his 66 attempted passes.
