FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Prisca Chilufya scored a pair of goals as Angel City snapped a six-game winless streak with a 5-2 victory over the Boston Legacy on Monday night at Gillette Stadium.
Angel City (8-8-5, 29 points) was 0-2-4 in its previous six matches and had not won since July 18. The club sits just outside the eighth and final playoff spot in the 16-team NWSL with nine games left in the regular season.
Ally Sentnor opened the scoring for Angel City in the fifth minute with a hard strike from just outside the box, as the teams combined to score four goals in the first 18 minutes.
Some three minutes later, Sammy Smith added her own long strike for the expansion Legacy that bounced to the far post out of reach of goalkeeper Angelina Anderson.
Angel City regained the lead with Chilufya’s first goal that got a slight deflection before getting past goalkeeper Laurel Ivory in the 14th minute.
Sveindís Jónsdóttir added a goal from a tight angle that went through Ivory’s legs in the 18th. It was her team-leading seventh goal of the season.
Chilufya scored off her own rebound in the 58th minute, and Maiara Niehues added a final goal in the 66th for the Angel City.
Aïssata Traoré add a goal in the 88th minute for Boston (5-12-5, 20 points), which has lost four straight and sits in 15th place. Boston has allowed 39 goals in 22 matches.
