Alyssa Thompson scores in the 20th and 29th minutes as Angel City defeats the San Diego Wave 2-1 to end its three-game NWSL losing streak.
Alyssa Thompson scored her first two goals of the season nine minutes apart Saturday, lifting Angel City to a 2-1 win over the San Diego Wave and spoiling the NWSL coaching debut of former Galaxy great Landon Donovan. The victory, which ended the team’s three-game NWSL losing streak, was just the second in league play since May 3 for Angel City , which jumped to eighth place and into a playoff position in the 14-team league standings with nine games remaining.
The Wave was missing seven players to injury and Angel City took advantage in the 20th minute when Thompson ran down a poor touch from Wave defender Hanna Lundkvist just outside the box, rounded goalkeeper Kailen Sheridan, then fired a left-footed shot into the back of the empty net for her first goal of the season. Thompson celebrated by racing to the Angel City bench where Press and backup goalkeeper Angelina Anderson wrapped her in a hug.
