The Portland Timbers, one of the flagship franchises in Major League Soccer (MLS), won the season honor for the traveling championship last year, they have the lead this year, and they have the lead all-time.
Portland and Toronto have won the last two season honors in the traveling championship across North American big league soccer. Now, they're at again.
During a summer of 2019 that has seen no Major League Soccer (MLS) team dominate the traveling title, Portland leads the way with five games of title, followed by Toronto with four. But Toronto snagged it with a 3-2 win at home against Colorado and has since defended it with two draws.
Now sitting on four games of title, Toronto can tie Portland for the year with a win or draw on Sunday against Columbus in the final game of the season. With a Toronto loss, Portland would claim the season's honors for the second consecutive year.
Last year, Portland won with a strong 14 games of title. That's the lion's share of Portland's 23 games of championship since we began following the soccer traveler across the MLS teams in 2016. No other team has as many.
New York Red Bulls are second all-time with 18 games of championship, followed by Toronto with 15 and LA Galaxy with 12.
Portland won its only title of the 2019 season with a 1-0 win at New York FC on July 7 and held onto it for nearly a month, until a 1-0 loss at Minnesota on Aug. 4.
