KANSAS CITY, Mo. (May 7, 2017) – Orlando Pride (0-2-2, 4 points) earned its second draw of the season on Sunday night, seeing a 1-1 result against FC Kansas City (1-2-1, 4 points) at Swope Soccer Village. After a series of opportunities throughout the match, Marta got on the board first, scoring her first National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) goal in the second half.
“Ninety-nine percent of the time, when you give a player of Marta’s caliber that opportunity, she’s going to put it away. The goal was a long time coming and I’m pleased with the pressure we put on Kansas City to create the chance,” Pride Head Coach Tom Sermanni said.
