Diego Chara - Wins three tackles in playoff loss Chara made a clearance, an interception and won three of three tackles in Saturday's 1-1 (4-2 after penalties) defeat against NYCFC in the MLS Cup Final.

Impact Chara was a rock in defensive midfield on Saturday, but he couldn't do enough to down New York City and win the MLS Cup at home for his side. He finished the year with two goals, an assist and nine clean sheets in 32 appearances (31 starts) in front of the defense for Portland.

Steve Clark - Concedes goal against New York City Clark made six saves but conceded a goal in Saturday's 1-1 (4-2 after penalties) defeat against NYCFC in the MLS Cup Final.

Impact Clark could arguably have done better for Valentin Castellanos' opening goal on Saturday, but he did make one save in the penalty shootout as his side fell at the final hurdle in playoffs. He finishes the season with nine clean sheets and 32 goals allowed in 28 games, his best ever season in MLS. His contract has run out with the Timbers, but he is in talks with the club about a potential new contract.

Felipe Mora - Scores goal against NYCFC Mora scored a goal and created a chance in Saturday's MLS Cup Final against New York City. He took six shots (two on target) overall, but he missed his penalty kick in the shootout...

Impact Mora was the Timbers' top scorer this season with 13 goals and four assists in 33 MLS appearances (25 starts), but that will be no consolation for his side's loss in the final. But it was a good sophomore season in the league for the 28-year-old, and he will return in 2022 wanting to go all the way with Portland.
