Nigerian International Fanendo Adi Equals Portland Timbers Legend Scoring Record

Published on: 26 March 2017

Portland Timbers striker Fanendo Adi tallied his fourth goal in Major League Soccer this term in his team’s 3-2 loss to Columbus Crew SC at MAPFRE Stadium on Sunday morning.

When the Nigerian frontman netted in the third minute of stoppage time, he equaled a record held by NASL great John Bain for the most goals scored in a Timbers uniform across all eras.

Bain set the goalscoring record after playing 148 games for Portland Timbers from 1978-82, while Adi registered his 45 goals in 94 matches.

The former AS Trencin and FC Copenhagen ace has scored 4 goals in 4 games against Columbus Crew.

Ex-United States U23 international Amobi Okugo lasted the distance against the team from Ohio.
