Chicago (USA), May 14. Washington triumphed in the field of Angel City and took advantage of the stumble of Megan Rapinoe’s Reign this Sunday to assault the leadership in the NWSL, the professional women’s soccer league in the United States, which reached the seventh day.
A 94th-minute penalty from Ashley Hatch allowed Washington to prevail in Los Angeles against Angel City for their fourth win in seven league games and maintain their unbeaten status.
The capital team has four wins and three draws and has a two-point advantage over the Reign, who with Rapinoe as the starter fell 0-1 this Sunday in their visit to the North Carolina Courage with a solitary goal from Tyler Lussi.
They failed to capitalize on the Reign’s loss to Gotham, who drew 0-0 against a completely relaunched Orlando Pride after a lackluster start to the campaign.
After starting with four consecutive losses, the Florida team added two wins and a draw to move away from the bottom of the table.
Alex Morgan’s San Diego Wave was reactivated, who triumphed 2-0 in their visit to the Kansas City Current, finalist last year, after two consecutive defeats.
The Portland Thorns, current champions, who fell 2-1 in the field of the Houston Dash, are still in trouble.
Costa Rica’s Raquel Rodríguez put the Thorns ahead in the first half, but the Dash came from behind thanks to goals from Joelle Anderson and British youngster Ebony Salmon.
The Thorns are in fourth position, three points off the lead. EFE
