Timbers 2014 Goals

2

Below is a plot of the Timbers 2014 goals and goals of their opponents by minute. Included also is the difference by minute, and total. Two big takeaways- The timbers score early, and late. A 1/4 of their goals come in the first 15 minutes. Half their goals come after minute 65. That leaves a huge gap of 40 minutes (almost half the game) where they only score 1/4 of their goals. What does this all mean? I'll leave that to smarter persons than I. Why did I bother to plot this? I was curious if the narrative that Timbers always have to come from behind rang true. It sort of does, but we can score right out of the gate too!
