Complementary forward combinations could bolster the Thorns’ attack

Morgan Weaver and Simone Charley had moments when they could have broken the deadlock against NJ/NY Gotham FC, as well as other players. But the Portland Thorns’ finishing problems and good goalkeeping prevented Portland from securing a crucial three points at home in Providence Park.

Weaver performed well throughout the match and was the game’s most dangerous player. She took on players, made well-timed runs behind the back line, and put two shots on goal. Weaver also blasted what would have been a contender for goal of the season off the upper 90.

Charley was less involved but didn’t perform poorly.
