The Portland Thorns travel to play Kansas City NWSL today. Kickoff is scheduled for 2 p.m. PST at Legends Field. Portland enter the match knowing that they have already clinched a spot in the playoffs. But the Thorns are coming off a dramatic 3-2 loss in which they came back from two goals down before conceding a late winner. It was Portland’s second consecutive loss, which has only happened one other time this season.
The Thorns need to bounce back against Kansas City. They are still in first place but only three points separate Portland from second place OL Reign.
