How they got here: Portland Timbers vs Seattle Sounders
Portland Timbers earned a hard-fought 2-1 win over FC Dallas at Toyota Stadium thanks to a brace from Diego Valeri. That's despite having to play much of the game with a man down after Larrys Mabiala received a red card after denying a goal scoring opportunity and now Giovanni Savarese's side will lock horns with a very familiar foe in Seattle Sounders over two legs for a spot in the next round.
Brian Schmetzer's side come into this game on an impressive five game winning streak. After losing 3-0 to LA Galaxy on September 23, Sounders rebounded in style to claw their way back up the table and ultimately finish as runners up in the Western Conference. As a result, they thus avoided having to go through the play-offs and thus received an automatic ticket to the semi-finals stage. Overall, they won 12 of their last 14 games to book their spot here, and now will take on their fellow Pacific Northwest-based rivals in what should be an interesting two-legged derby for a coveted ticket to the next round.
