The Orlando Pride picked up a massive three points on the road against Sky Blue FC last night. Goals from Chioma Ubogagu, Marta, then a late game-winner from rookie forward Rachel Hill earned Orlando a 3-2 victory.
Marta, the Pride’s focal playmaker, created problems for Sky Blue FC all night long. Her natural ability - combined with her innate longing for victory - has been setting her apart from the competition for over a decade.
“Brazilians are like that,” a grinning Tom Sermanni said in his interview after the win.
The Pride head coach, along with soccer fans all over the planet, have marveled at Marta’s ability to consistently produce at the highest level for so many years.
