Heading into their match against Racing Louisville, interim coach Becky Burleigh mentioned how she wanted to see the Orlando Pride generate more offensive chances by creating combination plays in the attacking third.
That game plan eventually came to fruition as goals from the Pride’s trio of attacking stars in Sydney Leroux, Marta and Alex Morgan powered Orlando to a 3-1 victory over expansion side Louisville on Saturday night in front of 3,822 in attendance at Exploria Stadium.
“We knew that we needed these three points, especially at home,” Leroux said after the game. “And I feel like that’s it’s a good kind of game to end our little four days off, so we’re really happy about that, and it’s gonna be nice to have a little break for sure.
