Portland Timbers beat Orlando City SC 2-1 on Tuesday in the MLS is Back Tournament final, bringing an end to a competition at Disney World in Florida that got off to a shaky start when two teams were withdrawn amid a cluster of COVID-19 tests. Defenders Larrys Mabiala and Dario Zuparic scored off set pieces for Portland, which also earned a spot in the 2021 CONCACAF Champions League for winning the month-long World Cup-style tournament that was played entirely without fans in attendance. #PORvORLpic.twitter.com/0i4mCP0NHk — Major League Soccer August 12, 2020 With the tournament complete, MLS will resume its regular season on Wednesday with teams in their respective home cities and the majority of games played without fans because of local regulations related to the virus. All 26 MLS clubs had played two regular season games when the 25th anniversary season was halted in March because of the novel coronavirus, and the league then created the Florida tournament in a bid to get players back on the field.
