Westchester SC dismantled Portland Hearts of Pine 5–1 at home on Friday, with Conor McGlynn and Jonathan Jimenez each scoring twice and Miguel Diaz adding a fifth to complete a dominant USL League One performance.
McGlynn opened the scoring in the 27th minute, finishing off a Noah Powder delivery to give Westchester the lead. He then doubled the advantage just before halftime, striking again in first-half stoppage time to send the hosts into the break up 2–0.
Portland had no time to regroup. Jimenez made it three nine minutes into the second half, converting from a Maximus Jennings feed to effectively kill the contest. The visitors offered little resistance as Westchester continued to press, and Miguel Diaz extended the lead to four in the 72nd minute, set up by Daniel Burko.
Jimenez, who had been booked in the 82nd minute, shrugged off any caution six minutes later when he netted his second of the night from a Timofey Timchenko assist to make it 5–0. Aboubacar Camara grabbed a stoppage-time consolation for Portland, heading home from an Ollie Wright ball in the 93rd minute, but it was little more than a footnote on a miserable evening for the visitors.
The comprehensive victory underlines Westchester SC's credentials as a serious force in USL League One this season, while Portland Hearts of Pine will need to find answers quickly after a chastening road defeat.
