“I was pretty fired up,” Fuller said. “ time has been lacking for me. Obviously, Alex knows.

From there, the challenge for Angel City was preserving the lead and taking the three points. Angel City has struggled allowing late goals again this season but was able to avoid any such trouble this time, though the win didn’t come without a nervous moment.

Kansas City’s Ally Sentnor scored the equalizer in the 45th minute, deflecting a shot off an Angel City defender and past goalkeeper Angelina Anderson. Kansas City came out of halftime and had control early. Just before the 1-hour mark, the Current had a penalty kick to take the lead, but Lo’eau LaBonta’s attempt was stuffed by Anderson, keeping the score tied at 1-1.
Midfielder Maiara Niehues returned to Angel City’s lineup after serving a two-game suspension, stemming from a red card incident against the Utah Royals on May 2. Angel City snapped its four-game losing streak Sunday, playing to a scoreless draw on the road against the Portland Thorns.
“We deserved this win,” Straus said. “We have been good these last three weeks, players have been performing well. This is what we deserved. The first two-thirds of our week has been good.
We took a strong point on the road against Portland and beat Kansas . ” Angel City continues the pre-World Cup break portion of its schedule on Saturday with a trip to the Houston Dash , followed by a May 31 home game against the North Carolina Courage . After that, the NWSL will pause alongside MLS, with Angel City returning to competition on July 3.
