Thorns fall 1-0 to Spirit

Portland fell 1-0 on the road against the Washington Spirit, dropping three points for the second week in a row in a sluggish game that saw missteps by the Thorns on both ends of the ball.

Recap

Washington got a number of chances in the first half, starting in the 9th minute, when Havana Solaun got a shot past Celeste Boureille in the penalty area. AD Franch blocked it, but couldn't get a hold of the ball, which landed at the feet of a waiting Cheyna Williams. Williams then took a close-range shot that was blocked by Emily Sonnett.
