Tyler Lussi scored a stoppage-time winner to lead the Portland Thorns to a 4–3 victory over the Orlando Pride in a back-and-forth game.
It was the first NWSL game that got picked up by ESPN (on ESPNNews) following a new television deal, and it didn't disappoint.
Lussi scored the decisive goal on a header off a corner kick.
Hayley Raso, Midge Purce, Christine Sinclair and Lussi scored goals for the Thorns. On the Pride side, Marta scored one goal and forced a Thorns own goal while Erin Greening also scored for Orlando.
The Thorns next face Utah Royals FC while the Pride take on Sky Blue.
