Portland Thorns FC started the Fall Series on fire, winning their first match 3-0 against Utah and their second 4-1 against OL Reign. After a draw against Utah Royals FC last Saturday, Portland can clinch the Fall Series title with a win or a draw (depending on Houston Dash’s result).
The Thorns are confident that they can wrap up this title against the Reign, but they will likely have to play better than they did in their second match against the Royals. The Thorns were playing their second match in four days and did not roll out their best eleven, but Utah prepared well for Portland.
