40' - Dangerous cross in from Ovalle but it's out of Banda's reach. #ORLvSD

37' - Mace fires from Kissimmee and it's well over the bar. #ORLvSD

31' - Morche scrambles back to catch a deflected shot that popped high into the air and was heading toward the right post. #ORLvSD

@kelonzi.bsky.social: "Come on, Orlando! Do something."

Me: "Why do I get the feeling you're poking a lifeless team with a stick?"

Her: "It's fair."

Gia Corley goaled after two Wave players attempted to score.

Orlando Pride 0-2 San Diego Wave FC

#ORLvSD 0-2

27' - Banda fizzes a shot just wide of the right post from outside the box. #ORLvSD

26' - Fantastic cross from Mace on the left to find Oihane making a run but the Spaniard pops her header over the net. Pride have wasted a couple really great chances and that's the difference. #ORLvSD

26'- Mace plays a great ball into Oihane, however, the header goes over the bar for a goal kick. #ORLvSD

22'- Wave Goal. Anderson plays a hospital ball back to Morche, who had to make two saves, but the third rebound falls to Gia Corley. The slim Pride playoff hopes are waning. Wave lead 2-0 #ORLvSD

22': Goal, San Diego. A hospital ball back pass by Hannah Anderson forces Morché to come up with back-to-back saves, but the ball falls to Gia Corley in the box as she finishes off the loose ball.

0-2 | #ORLvSD

22' - San Diego scores. Morche made two huge saves but the Pride defense did the goalkeeper no favors. Started with a Downy soft back pass from Anderson that turned the ball over in her own area. 2-0 Waveon Corley's goal, and it might be a long night. #ORLvSD

13' - Banda shoots from distance but doesn't hit it well and it's an easy save. #ORLvSD

12' - Pride starting to probe in attack; better moments after conceding. #ORLvSD

12' - Dali with a shot using a defender as a screen, but Morche picks it up in time to make the save. #ORLvSD

11' - Great cross from Washington to McCutcheon, but her header is off the defender in front of her. #ORLvSD

If you are keeping track at home, Lemos let Godfrey turn inside and get the shot. It's near post, and Morche will agree she probably could have done better with it based on her body language. Wave lead 1-0 #ORLvSD

Godfrey Scored!!!
