Maiara Niehues scored the go-ahead goal on a header in the 77th minute to give Angel City a 2-1 victory over Bay FC at BMO Stadium on Monday. Riley Tiernan also scored for Angel City (6-7-5), which won its second straight after an eight-game winless streak.<\/p>\n
Tiernan took a pass from M.A. Vignola and ran it down field before cutting inside and dancing around Bay defenders before firing a shot past Bay goalkeeper Jordan Silkowitz in the 12th minute. It was Tiernan\u2019s team-leading eighth goal. She moved into second for most goals ever by an NWSL rookie. Rachel Hill scored the equalizer for Bay, scoring on the rebound off her own shot on Angel City goalkeeper Hannah Seabert in the 37th minute.<\/p>\n
Niehues broke the stalemate on a header off a corner kick. This decisive goal secured the win for Angel City, marking a significant turn in their recent performance.<\/p>\n
Angel City\u2019s Alyssa Thompson was an excused absence for the game as rumors swirled that Chelsea was in talks to acquire the 20-year-old winger. The transfer deadline in the English Women\u2019s Super League is Thursday. Any fee for Thompson is likely to exceed $1 million. The Orlando Pride recently paid an international record $1.5 million transfer fee for forward Lizbeth Ovalle from Mexico\u2019s Tigres.<\/p>\n
Bay (4-9-5) is winless in its last seven matches. This streak reflects the challenges the team is facing in its current season.<\/p>\n
On Bay FC\u2019s side, Asisat Oshoala was also an excused absence amid numerous reports of a move to Al Hilal Saudi Women\u2019s Premier League. These potential transfers indicate significant changes in the teams’ rosters.<\/p>\n
