The Chilean forward Felipe Mora continues to live a sweet moment in the MLS, this time after scoring a goal and causing an own goal in the 3-3 draw between Portland Timbers and Los Angeles Galaxy. This comes just a few days after being considered by Eduardo Berizzo for the double qualifiers in October.
The Oregon team took the lead in the 5th minute, thanks to a Santiago Moreno who connected a low cross from the right by Dairon Asprilla. The former Audax Italiano player participated in the conquest by assisting the Colombian winger.

Only five minutes passed before the home team equalized with a goal from Eriq Zavaleta. However, the American himself would become the villain in the 38th minute by scoring an own goal that meant the 2-1 lead in favor of the Timbers. Mora was the one who caused the conquest.
Before the end of the first half, the Galaxy managed to recover by scoring through Douglas Costa and Zavaleta himself, who redeemed himself from his recent mistake. However, the Chilean striker appeared in the second half (76') by taking advantage of a loose ball and sending it into the back of the net.
In 12 games played in the Major League Soccer this season, and since his return to the field after his tough injury, the Chilean has contributed with four goals and one assist.
