Fanendo Adi scored in the 79th minute and the defending champion Portland Timbers defeated the Columbus Crew 2-1 on Sunday in a rematch of last year's MLS Cup final.

Diego Valeri's first-half goal gave the Timbers the early lead until Federico Higuain's highlight-worthy bicycle kick drew the Crew even in the 68th minute.
