Press and Thompson score for Angel City in 2-0 win over Utah in the NWSL

Christen Press came off the bench to score and Angel City beat the Utah Royals 2-0 in the National Women's Soccer League on Friday night in Los Angeles.

In Friday’s only other NWSL game, Racing Louisville beat Gotham FC 1-0.

Press made an instant impact after she entered the match in place of Claire Emslie in the 65th minute. Twenty-five seconds after stepping onto the field, Press outfoxed Madison Pogarch then curled the ball into the top left corner of the goal.

Alyssa Thompson doubled Angel City's lead when she rifled a shot off the post and into the back of the net in the seventh minute of stoppage time.
