The Orlando Pride remain undefeated after their third match of the 2021 regular season, earning a 2-1 home victory over the Portland Thorns on Wednesday thanks in large part to the dynamic one-two-punch combination of strikers Alex Morgan and Sydney Leroux.
The stars combined for the Pride’s two goals for the second straight game, which also marked Morgan’s third straight match with a goal.
The victory marked the first time the Pride have won back-to-back regular-season games since June 2018. The team now sits at the top of the NWSL rankings with a 2-0-1 record and seven points on the season.
