PORTLAND, Ore. - Host and top-seeded Portland found a golden goal with 1:56 left in the first overtime period to survive an upset bid from No. 4 seed San Francisco, 2-1, and advance to the West Coast Conference Men’s Soccer Championship title match.

The victory sets up a Top-25 showdown between the No. 6 nationally ranked Pilots and No. 19 San Diego for Saturday’s WCC Championship. The match kicks off at 7 p.m. PT and will be broadcast on ESPN+, with the winner receiving the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

Ritvik Karra’s finish of a Diego Rosas cross in the 39th minute appeared to be all Portland (12-3-2) would need as the 1-0 margin held late into the match.

However, San Francisco (6-8-4) was awarded a penalty kick with 4:06 remaining - a foul in the box during a corner kick being confirmed after a lengthy video review. David Raphael calmly deposited his left-footed spot kick into the right corner to pull the Dons level and force overtime.

The Pilots earned a free kick 30 yards out late into the first extra period - Christian Mendoza received the ball wide and played a low cross that deflected off a Dons’ defender for a deciding own goal.
