Blanco makes PK when Rapids keeper debuts, Timbers win 3-0

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Sebastián Blanco converted a tiebreaking penalty kick in first-half stoppage time just after 19-year-old goalkeeper Abraham Rodriguez made his MLS debut in place of injured William Yarbrough, and the Portland Timbers beat the Colorado Rapids 3-0. Yarbrough, a 33-year-old who has made three international appearances for the U.S., sustained a concussion in a collision with Santiago Moreno at the top of the penalty area in the first minute of stoppage time. Rodriguez dived left while Blanco put the penalty kick the other way in the eighth minute of stoppage time for his third goal of the Major League Soccer season.
