Season review by month

February

On February 27, Portland hosted Sporting Kansas City for the home opener after a postponed match that was set for Saturday 25 due to heavy snow and ice. Portland scored the first goal in the 6th minute by Juan Mosquera (assisted by Yimmi Chará) to give the Timbers their first win of the season.

March

On March 4, Portland traveled to Los Angeles, California to play Los Angeles Football Club at the newly named BMO Stadium. Portland was able to almost catch up after being down by 3 with a final score of 2-3. The goalscorers were Evander (assist by: J. Mosquera) in the 62nd minute and C. Paredes (assist by: Nathan Fogaça) in the 84th minute.

On March 13, Portland announced the signing of Ivorian forward Franck Boli to a one-year contract with a club option for the 2024 season.[1]
