Maiara Niehues scored in the 88th minute and Angel City FC earned a 1-0 road victory over the Washington Spirit on Saturday.
Carina Lageyre found Niehues near the top of the penalty area, and the Brazilian midfielder created enough space to curl a shot into the upper corner for the late winner.
The victory extended Angel City’s unbeaten streak to six matches and improved the club to 12-8-6. Angel City has won four of its past five matches after beating Utah, 3-0, last weekend.
Goalkeeper Angelina Anderson made two saves for her second consecutive shutout. Washington goalkeeper Sandy MacIver also made two saves.
The Spirit (14-8-4) lost their third consecutive match.
Angel City continues its road trip against defending NWSL champion Gotham FC on Oct. 4.
