The leader remains dominant in the NWSL, the American women’s soccer league. In a match valid for the 17th round of the regular season, the Orlando Pride defeated the Houston Dash 1-0. Three Brazilians were starters for the Florida team, while defender Tarciane and midfielder Andressa Alves were starters for the Texan team.
The most important Brazilian athlete of the Orlando Pride was the midfielder Angelina. She struck a beautiful ball for the striker Summer Yates, who invaded the area and opened the scoring in the 22nd minute of the second half. In addition to Angelina, the starting lineup also included the champion Marta and the winger Adriana, who were replaced in the final phase.
Now, Orlando has reached the milestone of 12 wins and five draws in 17 games played. The team comfortably leads the first phase of the NWSL, six points ahead of the second place, which is currently the Kansas City Current. Houston Dash, in turn, is only in 12th place, in a championship of three wins, five draws and nine losses.
