Veronica Latsko scores in the 87th minute to send the OL Reign to a 1-0 victory over Angel City in the quarterfinals of the NWSL playoffs.
An Angel City season that appeared to be over in June finally came to a close Friday, 11 days before Halloween, in a 1-0 NWSL playoff loss to the OL Reign on a chilly night on the banks of Puget Sound. The loss was just the second in 15 games for Angel City under interim coach Becki Tweed, who four months ago took over a team mired at the bottom of the league table and got it to the playoff quarterfinals.
It’s one that won’t end until at least early November, when the Reign face the San Diego Wave in the playoff semifinals. Although Angel City and the Reign were meeting for the fifth time this season, both teams played cautiously through a scoreless first half that produced just one shot on goal coming on a 35-yard try from the Reign’s Jess Fishlock in the 13th minute. For Angel City, it was the third time in four games the team failed to score in the opening 45 minutes.
