One of the bigger disappointments for the Seattle Sounders this year has been the production of Nate Jaqua. The big target forward has failed to produce a goal in any of his seven appearances and has not scored a goal in MLS play since the 2009 season. Now, he's come off in exchange for Lamar Neagle in the 79th minute.
Seattle Sounders Vs. Portland Timbers: Lamar Neagle Enters For Nate Jaqua
To be fair to Jaqua, he has been battling injuries since the start of last season and has found himself on the bench even when healthy behind the likes of Blaise Nkufo last year. With so many injuries, especially to offensive players, the Sounders were really hoping to get more production out of him.
On the Timbers side, Jorge Perlaza has been removed and been replaced by Ryan Pore in the 83rd minute. Pore is one of a handful of Timbers players who have actually experienced playing against the Sounders. Pore was with the Timbers in 2009-10.
