San Diego Wave FC will look to continue their debut run in the NWSL Playoffs when they face the Portland Thorns in the semifinal round on Sunday afternoon at Providence Park.
San Diego are coming off a terrific 2-1 win in extra time to beat the Chicago Red Stars at Snapdragon Stadium last weekend in their first-ever playoff game. Emily Van Egmond couldn’t have picked a better time to open her account with Wave FC, before Alex Morgan, clearly hobbled by a knee ailment, scored the game-winner in the 110th minute to book San Diego’s ticket to the next round.
