Yimmi Chará scored his first goal for the Portland Timbers in the game against the San José Earthquakes. The Colombian, who joined the team as one of the stars of the South American continent, has already begun to pay for his arrival in MLS, where he shares the team with his brother Diego.

Yimmi showed a lot of quality today, he played an excellent game. Hopefully I am in top shape soon so I can play the 90 minutes, we are working on it. But today his performance was outstanding, "said Timbers coach Gio Savarese. Chara is playing for a few minutes due to an injury he suffered against New York City two months ago.

"I'm very happy. This is something that I have been looking for, for a long time, and something that I have worked very hard to achieve. Obviously I had an injury that did not allow me to play some games, but I continue to prepare in the best way I know and thank God I was able to score tonight" Chara said. 

After having played a few minutes but with a good performance until scoring a goal, Yimmi Chara seems to be at the height of the Portland Timbers and he hopes to continue on the same path. "I think we have to keep trying because you will see the goals at some point. We all know the type of team we have and we all know what we are doing throughout the week. That is why we have to keep working hard to get what we want and keep scoring. goals "said Chara.
