In the sixth minute, Sanchez sent a ball behind the back line and into the box for Thompson, but it was too close to Moorhouse. The striker’s first touch was a shot that Moorhouse got her right foot to, keeping the deficit at one. The Pride kept possession, and Oihane attempted a ball into the box that Sanchez blocked out of play. The Pride almost had a shot on target in the 29th minute when McCutcheon played the ball back for Marta. Sanchez made a strong run into the Pride box in the 35th minute, splitting Chavoshi and Oihane to get a shot off.
