Alyssa Thompson, 19, secured her first career brace, scoring twice in nine minutes, leading Angel City FC to a 2-1 victory over San Diego Wave.
San Diego’s new interim coach Landon Donovan witnessed a disappointing debut; the Wave appeared destined for a shutout until Abby Dahlkemper scored in stoppage time.
This match marked a significant milestone for Christen Press as well; after more than 26 months and four knee surgeries, she made her long-awaited return.
In another NWSL match, NJ/NY Gotham FC leveled with Washington Spirit, winning 2-0 against Portland Thorns, continuing their strong performance with nine wins in 12 matches.
