PORTLAND, Ore. – A feeling of confusion washed over Portland Thorns FC at the final whistle a week ago, the team having posted a record 24 shots while losing to the Seattle Reign, 3-2. This week, that feeling was accompanied by one of déjà vu, with the Thorns matching that record shot total in another Providence Park loss, 2-1 to the Orlando Pride.
The final reversed the scoreline from four weeks ago, when goals from Lindsey Horan and Christine Sinclair brought their team back from an early hole.
