Houston, Portland Snap Skids Amid Shaky NWSL Seasons
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter


This week, the Houston Dash and Portland Thorns — two NWSL teams on opposite sides of the postseason cutoff line — earned results that snapped skids.

On Saturday, Houston defeated 11th-place Seattle 1-0 to claim their first victory since May 24th, ending a nine-game winless streak. While the win didn’t exactly launch the 13th-place Dash into postseason contention, it did provide a glimmer of hope in an otherwise destabilizing season.

The hero of the match was 2011 World Cup champ Yuki Nagasato, whose 50th-minute volley from the top of the box had such velocity that Reign keeper Claudia Dickey couldn’t even react before it crashed into the back of the net.

With the ongoing absence of head coach Fran Alonso, Saturday’s result handed Houston interim coach Ricky Clarke his first NWSL victory.

Draw with ACFC ends Portland’s losing streak

Notching their first point since July 5th, the seventh-place Thorns snapped a four-game losing streak with Monday’s 2-2 draw with 10th-place Angel City.

After Portland’s Morgan Weaver and Olivia Moultrie answered Alyssa Thompson’s opening goal for a 2-1 lead, ACFC defender Jasmyne Spencer’s hard-earned cross allowed Claire Emslie to secure the draw with a chaotic 76th-minute equalizer.

The result keeps both teams in the NWSL postseason race, each within three points of the cutoff line.

How to watch Portland and Angel City in NWSL action this week

Both Angel City and Portland will look to gain a crucial postseason advantage this weekend. No. 10 Angel City faces the tougher task in hosting No. 2 Washington on Friday, September 27th, at 10 PM ET, with live coverage on Prime Video.

Then on Saturday, September 28th at 10 PM ET, No. 7 Portland will take on No. 12 San Diego, airing live on ION.
