Portland Timbers 2, New England Revolution 2 | 2019 MLS Match Recap

Carles Gil scored a 97th minute penalty to earn the New England Revolution a 2-2 draw against the Timbers at Providence Park Wednesday, after the Revs were down 2-0 in the 85th minute. 


New England were given a penalty after Video Review decided that Wilfried Zahibo was pulled down in the penalty box deep into stoppage time. Gil buried the spot kick into the corner.


Jeremy Ebobisse opened the scoring with a diving header off a cross from Jorge Villafaña a few minutes after the halftime break and wheeled away in celebration in front of the Timbers Army. It was Ebobisse's first since September 7th and the team's first in more than three full games. 


He added a second goal in the 81st minute, an unorthodox diving volley to find the back of the net again. Gustavo Bou pulled one back for the Revs in the 87th minute, tapping home an assist from Teal Bunbury, setting up the wild finish. 


Steve Clark's great reaction save after a deflection on Bou's free kick kept the game scoreless in the first half, as well as Brad Knighton's three saves in the first 45.


Brian Fernandez was again not in the Timbers' matchday squad.
