Sophia Wilson converted a late penalty kick to pull the Portland Thorns into a
1-1 draw with Gotham FC on Friday night.
In the only other game in the National Women's Soccer League, the San Diego
Wave topped Racing Louisville 3-2.
Gotham's Jaedyn Shaw broke a scoreless deadlock in the 61st minute when she
collected a pass from Sam Kerr and chipped the ball in from outside the box.
Wilson converted the penalty for her 11th goal of the season in the 75th
minute. The penalty was awarded after video review determined that Portland
forward Pietra Tordin was stepped on by Gotham midfielder Jaelin Howell.
Gotham midfielder Rose Lavelle was ruled out of the match because of a
concussion.
Both teams extended their unbeaten streaks with Gotham (13-3-6) moving to 10
games unbeaten and Portland Thorns (11-6-5) to four games.
Dali scores game-winner for the Wave
Trinity Byars scored twice and Kenza Dali netted the winner as the San Diego
Wave (12-7-3) stormed back from a two-goal deficit to beat Racing Louisville
3-2.
Lauren Milliet scored in the 12th minute and Taylor Flint added a goal in the
23rd minute to give Louisville a 2-0 lead.
San Diego responded in the 47th minute on Byars' first goal with Mimi Van
Zanten providing the assist. Byars got the equalizer in the 76th minute.
The Wave completed the comeback on a long-range shot from Dali in the 80th.
Racing Louisville (7-13-2) has dropped consecutive games after a four-match win
streak.
