Morgan nets an assist on second goal, shuttingdoor on Angel City’s first home loss to its Southern California rival
The future of U.S. women’s soccer met the sport’s present Sunday in a late-afternoon matinee at BMO Stadium. And Alex Morgan, the sport’s current leading lady, showed she’s not ready to step aside just yet, helping the San Diego Wave to a 2-0 win over Angel City and teenager Alyssa Thompson, her possible heir apparent.
That visage has become the face of U.S. Soccer, but Morgan is now 33 and a mother. She’s still playing some of the best soccer of her career, but this summer’s World Cup could be her last. And while Thompson, 18, is too young to be Morgan’s direct successor, she’s too good to be kept out of the conversation for long.
Speaking of journeys, Ertz, 31, completed her comeback with a solid 72-minute performance less than a week after joining Angel City on a free agent contract. “It is a piece of the puzzle that is going to be so important to us moving forward,” she said. “I truly believe that this is a turning point for us.”
