Olum’s goal arrived in the 14th minute, as a free kick from the right by Diego Valeri was flicked on at the near post by Vytautas Andriuskevicius, and Olum’s stabbed finish at the back post looped into the right side of the net. The goal was his first as a Timber since August 22, 2008, according to Timbers statistician Mike Donovan, when the side fell 2-1 to Vancouver Whitecaps FC in the USL First Division.

The goal also helped spoil the evening of Olum’s former Head Coach, Adrian Heath, who led Minnesota into its first game in Major League Soccer on Friday. The 2011 USL Coach of the Year with Orlando City SC, Heath teamed up with Olum during both the 2010 season with Austin, and when the Lions claimed the 2011 USL Cup title, a victory that saw Olum find the net against the Harrisburg City Islanders before the Lions won in a penalty shootout.
