Marta scored on a first-half penalty kick as the Orlando Pride remained undefeated with a 2-0 road victory over NJ/NY Gotham FC in National Women’s Soccer League on Sunday.
Also in the other NWSL game, the Houston Dash rallied to beat the Chicago Stars FC 2-1.
The reigning NWSL champion Pride were gifted an early lead after Gotham rookie Lilly Reale scored an own goal with just 70 seconds on the clock.
Marta then tucked away the Pride's second goal from the penalty spot in the closing moments of the first half. Orlando's penalty was awarded after Gotham defender Jess Carter upended Angelina in the box.
