The Portland Thorns defeated the Kansas City Current on Saturday night by a margin of 2-0, winning the 2022 NWSL Championship.
The Thorns started off quickly with a goal in the first minute, as Sophia Smith found her way around A.D. Franch to net the go-ahead goal. The rest of the half was largely back and forth with chances coming from both sides. The second half started with similar energy to the first, and Portland netted their second goal was via an own goal, with a ball from Yazmeen Ryan going off of a KC defender and into the net.
