Camilo scores two goals as Vancouver Whitecaps tie Portland Timbers 2-2
VANCOUVER – Camilo’s second goal of the game, on a sideways bicycle kick in the 78th minute, gave the Vancouver Whitecaps a 2-2 draw with the Portland Timbers in Major League Soccer action Sunday night.
The Whitecaps (11-11-9) helped keep their flickering playoff hopes alive as they moved within three points of the fifth-place Los Angeles Galaxy in the Western Conference.
The Timbers (12-5-14) missed a chance to move into second place in the West despite extending their unbeaten streak to five games.
Camilo’s tying marker capped a string of three goals in as many minutes. The Vancouver striker’s two tallies sandwiched one by Portland’s Will Johnson.
Darlington Nagbe scored for Portland in the first half. He and Johnson, the captain of Canada’s national men’s team, assisted on each other’s goals.
