The Pride (10-0-5) are now level on points with the Kansas City Current at the top of the National Women’s Soccer League. The two unbeaten teams will face off next weekend.

Marta found Adriana in the middle of the field in the 20th minute. The Brazilian forward dribbled before firing her shot into the upper left corner from the top of the box to put the Pride ahead.

Adriana scored her second in the 26th, pouncing on the rebound from Barbra Banda’s shot.

To seal the victory, Banda forced a turnover in the 96th minute and rounded the goalkeeper to score her 11th goal this season. She’s now tied with the Current’s Temwa Chawinga for the most goals in the NWSL.
