Aljaz Ivacic - Makes four saves in drawIvacic made four saves and conceded one goal during Wednesday's 1-1 draw against Nashville.

ImpactIvacic couldn't do much in the 20th minute when Teal Bunbury appeared unmarked in front of him to open the scoring for the opposition after the defense failed to clear a corner kick. But, other than that, the goalkeeper had a superb performance and was key for his side to escape with at least one point. Clean sheets have been hard to come by for Ivacic but he's making up for that with several saves, including 37 over his last nine starts. Up next for him is Saturday's home clash against Dallas.

Bill Tuiloma - Makes five clearances in drawTuiloma had two off-target shots and made one tackle, five clearances and one block during Wednesday's 1-1 draw against Nashville.

ImpactTuiloma returned to the team after being an unused sub on the previous match and made a great partnership with Dario Zuparic at the heart of the defense, keeping opposing forwards at bay during most of the time. The center-back will hope this performance was enough for him to remain in the lineup for the upcoming matchups.

Dario Zuparic - Makes nine clearances in drawZuparic made three tackles (two won), nine clearances, two interceptions and one block during Wednesday's 1-1 draw against Nashville.

ImpactZuparic had arguably his best performance of the season so far, with season highs in both tackles and clearances, doing a great job at the heart of the defense to limit Hany Mukhtar and Nashville's attack. Usually a great source of clearances, the center-back is currently a good pick for fantasy teams.

Jaroslaw Niezgoda - Creates three chances in drawNiezgoda had two shots (one on target) and created three chances during Wednesday's 1-1 draw against Nashville.

ImpactNiezgoda was coming off a great performance during the previous match, but couldn't appear on the scoresheet here. The forward was closely wacthed by opposing defenders but still found his way to created for teammates. Over his last eight starts, Niezgoda had six goals, two assists and 17 chances created. Up next for him is Saturday's home clash against Dallas.

Santiago Moreno - Scores in drawMoreno scored a goal off four shots (two on target), created three chances, sent in three crosses (one accurate) and made three interceptions during Wednesday's 1-1 draw against Na...

ImpactMoreno was a constant threat for the opposing defense during the entire match, drawing things level at 1-1 in the 27th minute and being involved in most of his side's dangerous plays. The attacker has been on a tear as of late, with four goals and two assists over his last seven starts, and will try to remain productive during Saturday's home clash against Dallas.

Claudio Bravo - Out with hamstring injuryBravo missed Wednesday's draw against Nashville SC due to a hamstring injury, SB Nation's Sam Svilar reported before the game.

ImpactBravo has started every MLS match this season that he's been available for, but he was sidelined Wednesday with a hamstring issue. The Timbers lined up in a back-three with Marvin Loria starting at left wing-back in Bravo's absence against Nashville, but Justin Rasmussen is another option who could replace him at left-back versus Dallas on Saturday if necessary.
