San Diego earned a 2-1 victory in Game 1, only for Portland to level the series with a 3-2 win in penalties after a 2-2 draw in Game 2.

The series winner will face Minnesota United FC or Seattle Sounders FC in the Western Conference Semifinals, held Nov. 22-23.

No extra time is played if a Round One match is tied after regulation time (90 minutes). Instead, a penalty kick shootout determines the winner.

San Diego lost a heartbreaker in Game 2, allowing a 98th-minute equalizer before falling to Portland on PKs.

Now, they'll chase a win at home to punch their Western Conference Semifinal ticket and continue making history in their expansion season.

Anders Dreyer scored in Game 1, but was held off the board in Game 2. The Danish international posted a team-best 38 goal contributions (19g/19a) during the regular season.

Hirving Lozano could return to the starting XI after subbing on in Game 2 and scoring in the 51st minute. The Mexican international had missed the previous two matches due to team discipline issues.

Portland Timbers

Portland left it late in Game 2, with Gage Guerra equalizing in the 98th minute to force a PK shootout, won by the Timbers as head coach Phil Neville's side booked a Game 3 showdown on the road.

Canadian international goalkeeper James Pantemis made six saves in Game 1 and another two in Game 2. Summer DP signing Kristoffer Velde has also found his form, scoring in each of the first two games.

Velde will look to combine with Felipe Mora, who scored twice in the Wild Card victory over Real Salt Lake, to pull off another upset. Other key players include Antony and DP playmaker David Da Costa.
