Trinity Rodman scored in stoppage time, returning from injury to help the Washington Spirit secure a 2-1 win against the Portland Thorns. After starting on the bench, Rodman entered the match in the 76th minute and scored her first goal since April. She expressed immense joy at being back on the field after dealing with a nagging back issue. The Spirit, now in second place, scored first through Gift Monday, but the Thorns equalized before Rodman’s decisive goal secured the victory.
Scoring a goal like that, you saw I buried it, was not going to miss it. I'm just really happy to be back. I missed the team, I missed doing what I love.
Trinity Rodman scored in stoppage time of her first game since April to give the Washington Spirit a 2-1 victory over the Portland Thorns.
Rodman had not played since 12 April because of a nagging back issue. That was the hardest thing I've had to go through, with the injury and everything.
The Spirit moved into second place in the standings with the victory as the team returned from the league's six-week summer break.
