Janssen Shatters Timbers History | MLS News

Vincent Janssen just rewrote Portland Timbers history with a historic hat trick in their wild 5-4 win over Minnesota United — becoming the first Timber to ever score three goals in an MLS match and one of only three players in league history to do so in their debut start. His performance also made him the second Dutchman to notch a hat trick in MLS, following Roland Alberg, and earned him Player of the Matchday honors — a rare feat that’s voted on by 75% media and 25% fans via Instagram. With the Timbers sitting eighth in the West and playoff spots on the line, this electrifying display could be the spark they need. Fans are buzzing, and the city is feeling the momentum.
