Timbers tie — Rodney Wallace came open in the penalty box and headed in the tying goal at the beginning of second-half stoppage time, and Portland (0-1-2) came out of Seattle with a 1-1 draw. Eddie Johnson tapped in a perfectly placed cross from Steve Zakuani in the 13th minute for Seattle (0-1-1).

Kim wins women’s title — The Queen has reclaimed her crown. Back at the World Figure Skating Championships for the first time in two years, Olympic champion Kim Yu-na looked as if she had never been away Saturday night in London, Ontario. It wasn’t just her margin of victory — with 218.31 points, she was a whopping 20 points ahead of defending champion Carolina Kostner — but the stunningly simple beauty of her performance. Kim’s longtime rival, Mao Asada of Japan, was third.

Mixed martial arts

St-Pierre retains title — UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre manhandled Nick Diaz for five rounds en route to a lopsided unanimous decision at UFC 158 in Montreal on Saturday night. St-Pierre (24-2) earned a unanimous decision, winning 50-45 on all three judges’ cards. As expected, St-Pierre used his wrestling to control the challenger, rag-dolling him at times and bullying him on the ground. But he also used his jab and kicks to pick apart Diaz on his feet.
