Kansas City NWSL returned to the pitch for their third game in eight days, traveling to Orlando to face the Pride who came into Sunday’s match in first place. Because it was the third game in a week, head coach Huw Williams decided to give Amy Rodriguez and Victoria Pickett time on the bench. Goalkeeper Abby Smith and defenders Kristen Edmonds and Elizabeth Ball returned. Smith had been injured since the Challenge Cup, Edmonds missed to injury last week, and Ball served a one-game suspension.
The team had a few chances in the first ten minutes.
