It looked like a flipped switch, the way Portland Thorns FC came out of halftime against the Orlando Pride.
Surviving a 10-minute barrage to open the match, the visitors managed to reach intermission on even footing, having kept the game scoreless. After a goal through Lindsey Horan in the 47th minute followed by a Hayley Raso strike in the 53rd not only delivered the team’s 2-0 victory at Orlando City Stadium, it provided a counterpoint to that initial, ultimately innocuous first 10 minutes, when the Pride seemed to do no wrong.
