On Thursday night at BMO Stadium, Angel City FC delivered a gritty performance that earned them a crucial 1-0 victory over the Orlando Pride. The difference-maker came from Alyssa Thompson, whose decisive strike in the second half sealed all three points for the home side.
The match was a tense and physical battle from the opening whistle, with both teams trading chances but neither finding the breakthrough early on. Orlando pressed high, looking to unsettle Angel City’s backline, while Angel City leaned on quick transitions to create openings.
The breakthrough arrived midway through the second half. Thompson, showcasing her trademark speed and composure, latched onto a perfectly weighted pass and slotted the ball past the Pride goalkeeper, sending the BMO crowd into celebration. The young star’s finish not only highlighted her growing confidence but also underlined her ability to deliver in high-pressure moments.
From there, Angel City tightened their defensive shape, with the backline and goalkeeper holding firm against late Orlando pressure. The final whistle confirmed a hard-earned clean sheet and a statement win, boosting Angel City’s momentum in the league.
For the fans, the night belonged to Thompson — a performance that once again emphasized her role as one of Angel City’s brightest talents and a rising star in women’s soccer.
