Diego Chara set to reach another milestone in long career with the Timbers

PORTLAND (AP) — When the Portland Timbers open their 50th season, one of the club’s most impactful players will celebrate his own milestone. Midfielder Diego Chara could appear in his 400th career match — all played with the Timbers — when Portland hosts the Vancouver Whitecaps on Sunday. Chara already set the Major League Soccer record for matches played with a single club last season when he surpassed Chris Wondolowski’s record of 376, set with the San Jose Earthquakes.
