There was no separating Portland Timbers and Seattle Sounders in the MLS this afternoon as the two sides played out an entertaining 1-1 draw.

Seattle were getting most of the early possession, with Portland happy to sit back and break forward with purpose.

The first real chance of the game fell to Brad Evans for Seattle, but he was unable to turn a loose ball into the net.

The defenders were on top as some inventive football from both sides was continuously cut out at the last gasp.

Franck Songo'o went close for Portland, but his swerving shot from distance was well stopped as the sides went in level at 0-0.

It was eventually Seattle who broke the deadlock, with Fredy Montero finishing well to hook past the goalkeeper.

It led to some strong pressure from the hosts, and they finally equalised on 80 minutes, with Rodney Wallace's header going over the line despite a last-ditch attempt at a clearance.

Portland hit the post late on but the match ended 1-1.
