Marta, Pride down KC Current to set up NWSL final with Spirit

The Orlando Pride advanced to their first NWSL Championship on Sunday with a 3-2 victory over the Kansas City Current in the semifinal at Inter&Co Stadium in Orlando.

Pride forward Barbra Banda scored the equalizer in the 53rd minute before 38-year-old captain Marta scored an iconic game-winning goal, making four Kansas City players fall to the ground as she dribbled through them and tapped the ball into the net.

The top-seeded Pride will face the No. 2 seed Washington Spirit in the NWSL Championship on Saturday at CPKC Stadium in Kansas City, which is the predetermined site of the final.
