One of the things, perhaps the thing, that has kept the Seattle Sounders-Portland Timbers rivalry so strong through the years has been the sense of continuity. On the current rosters, no players represents that aspect of the rivalry more clearly that Roger Levesque. Although not a starter, the Sounders utility player continues to be a big part of the team. So it only makes sense that he would enter Saturday's Cascadia Cup match as a 42nd minute injury replacement for Brad Evans.
Seattle Sounders Vs. Portland Timbers: Roger Levsque Enters In 42nd Minute
Levesque, who just might be public enemy No. 1 for the Timbers Army, has tormented Portland for nearly a decade, first as a member of the USL Sounders and then as a member of the MLS team.
Evans was forced to sidelines with what appeared to be a groin injury that was re-inflamed after a tackle around the 35th minute. Evans stayed on the ground for several minutes before trying to walk off the injury. It quickly became apparent that he was not going to be able to continue to play.
