Recap: Thorns dominate Royals 3-0 in debut

It was a dominant win for the Portland Thorns on Sunday as they took down the Utah Royals 3-0. It was the exact start they were looking for to the NWSL Fall Series after having to wait so long to play their first game.

Both teams struggled to capitalize on opportunities early. The Thorns did a good job pushing the ball up the field but couldn’t get the shots on frame. They also were able to get some set-piece opportunities early on, but nothing was coming to fruition no matter how good the chance was.
