San Diego Wave FC faced the gauntlet at The Banc for the first time, but did not have quite enough in their rivalry match against Angel City FC, losing 2-1 on Saturday in NWSL regular season action.
The game was fully entertaining for the neutral, particularly in the 2nd half when the Southern California rivals threw metaphorical haymakers as they wrestled control of the game back and forth, but even with Wave FC playing with an extra player for the final 10 minutes and change, Angel City had the edge on the night and got the result.
