Welcome to your match thread for tonight’s match-up between the Orlando Pride (4-5-4, 16 points) and FC Kansas City (3-6-4, 13 points). This is the second of three scheduled meetings between the two sides this season. The Pride will return to Swope Soccer Village on Saturday, Aug. 26 at 4 p.m. to complete the series.
The Pride are coming off a draw and a loss in which both times the opposition scored on a late penalty kick to siphon points away from Orlando in the standings. This is not a hat trick the Pride will be shooting for, obviously, but conceding late goals has been a problem for Tom Sermanni’s team this season, including in the first meeting between these two clubs.
