Angel City FC unbeaten no more after loss to Orlando

ORLANDO, Fla. — Angel City FC made it through March without a loss, but that unbeaten run came to an end on a stoppage-time goal.

Haley McCutcheon scored two late goals and the Orlando Pride handed Angel City its first loss of the season, 2-1, on Friday night.

Orlando (2-1-2, eight points) had two goals called off but still won at home for the first time this season.

McCutcheon scored her first goal off a loose ball in the 84th minute.

Angel City (3-1-0, nine points) responded two minutes into stoppage time with Gisele Thompson’s strike front the top of the box that hit the top of the post and crossed the line.

Marta’s corner kick in the eighth minute of stoppage time created chaos in the box and McCutcheon found the ball for the game-winner.

Angel City was the last undefeated team in the 16-team NWSL.

Orlando’s Jacquie Ovalle went down while pursuing Angel City’s Sveindís Jónsdóttir on a breakaway. Ovalle had to be carried of the field. The extent of her injury was not known.
