The Houston Dash picked up a crucial road victory, topping the Orlando Pride 1-0 this evening at Exploria Stadium in Orlando. With the win, the Dash improve to 6-6-4 on the season and moved up to fifth in the NWSL table.
Forward Rachel Daly converted a penalty in the 87th minute for the game-winning goal. The scoring strike was Daly’s fifth of the season and her third game-winning goal of the year.
The penalty capped off a tumultuous sequence that started when captain Kealia Ohai was brought down inside the penalty area by an Orlando defender.
