Angel City star Christen Press was a substitute and scored during penalty kicks, returning after a two-year absence and helping her club win.
Angel City star forward Christen Press returned to the pitch for the first time in two years during a penalty kick shootout win over San Diego FC in Thursday’s NWSL x Liga MXF Summer Cup match at Cal State Fullerton’s Titan Stadium. Press has been sidelined since she tore her anterior cruciate ligament in June 2022, a span of 781 days. The injury and complications required four surgeries for Angel City’s first signee.
Press was among the five Angel City players who converted their penalty kicks. Claire Emslie, Alyssa Thompson, Rocky Rodríguez and Kennedy Fuller also hit Angel City penalty kicks, while goalkeeper DiDi Haracic was in goal as San Diego missed two penalty shots. 'It was definitely a nostalgic feeling. When you get to play a soccer game, it's a miracle,' Press told Paramount+ after the win. '... I was so excited, I was very nervous.
