PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Raul Ruidiaz scored the go-ahead goal early in the second half and the Seattle Sounders snapped Portland’s six-game undefeated streak in their rivalry series with a 2-1 Cascadia Cup victory over the Timbers on Sunday.

Cristian Roldan scored a first-half goal and the Sounders secured just their third win in the regular season’s first 12 matches.

Felipe Mora scored for the Timbers, who have not won since beating NYCFC 2-1 on March 9. Since then, they’ve lost six and had three draws and they’ve tumbled to last place in the Western Conference standings.

“For us to not only win on the road but to put that type of performance, of grittiness, of belief, to defend our lead, was something we’ve been needing,” Roldan said.

Mora scored in the 15th minute to give Portland (2-6-4) the early lead at home. It was Mora’s team-leading fifth goal of the season.
