The Orlando Pride went on the road to the left coast this past weekend to face expansion side Angel City FC. Unlike most expansion teams, both Angel City and the San Diego Wave seem to have the right pieces in place to be competitive in their first year in the NWSL. Indeed, both won their regular-season openers and San Diego is still at the top of the table after two weeks. Angel City’s opening win came a week ago against a good North Carolina Courage side that won the Challenge Cup.
So, it was a bit of a nice surprise to see the Pride go on the road and come home with a 1-0 victory.
