The Washington Spirit drop their second game in a row under Kris Ward, losing 1-0 to visitors Angel City FC. It was a poor performance by the Spirit’s lofty standards, and losing track of Press for a moment allowed her to break into the box and score a trademark goal.
After a cagey first few minutes the match got into a bit of a flow with the Spirit having a couple early glimpses of danger through Anna Heilferty and Trinity Rodman. Heilferty found a pocket of space at the top of the box to run into but a heavy touch allowed a defender to clear before any danger could be created.
