Fanendo Adi Becomes All-Time Leading Scorer In Portland Timbers History

Fanendo Adi etched his name into Portland Timbers folklore when he hit target in his team's come-from-behind 3-1 win over Philadelphia Union in a Major League Soccer game at Talen Energy Stadium (Chester, Pennsylvania) on Sunday morning.

Adi's goal in the 88th minute took his tally to 46 goals since his arrival at the Timbers from FC Copenhagen in the summer of 2014, and became the all-time top scorer in the history of the club.

The 26-year-old had shared the record with John Bain, who set the original mark when he played for the Timbers in the old NASL from 1978-82.

Fanendo Adi has found the net five times this season, the second most goals in the American top-flight, along with Diego Valeri and Josef Martinez.

Ex-United States U23 international of Nigerian descent Amobi Okugo entered into the fray in the 82nd minute against the club he represented for four years, 2010-2014.
