PORTLAND, Oregon (CMC) – Guyana’s Alpha United suffered their fourth straight loss when they were routed 6-0 by Portland Timbers, in their final game of the CONCACAF Champions League at Providence Park here Tuesday night.

Heading into the contest without a win, Alpha’s hopes were further shattered as Norberto Paparatto netted two second-half goals and Jack Jewsbury, Gaston Fernandez, Michael Nanchoff and Fanendo Adi added strikes, to condemn the Caribbean side to another defeat.
Alpha finished bottom of Group 5, conceding a whopping 17 goals and scoring just one, and were eliminated from the competition.
In contrast, Portland took control of the group with nine points, ahead of Olimpia who are on six points.
Jewsbury put the hosts ahead as early as the 11th minute, running on to Michael Harrington’s deft left-side pass, beating three defenders before slotting past Alpha goalkeeper Ronson Williams to his right.
Eight minutes before halftime, Portland doubled their lead thanks to Fernandez who scored from close range.
Up 2-0 at halftime, Portland took the game to Alpha in the second half. Nanchoff worked a give-and-go with Ben Zemanski before beating Williams with a powerful volley in the 51st and Paparatto got the first of his double when he nodded in Nanchoff’s corner kick in the 61st minute.
Adi put Portland up 5-0 in the 72nd minute before Paparatto scored his second, another header, a minute from full time.
