The Orlando Pride couldn’t quite grit out a victory in the NWSL playoff semifinals, ending their 2025 season one game shorter than they’d hoped. As the teams seemed destined to play extra time, the Pride made a critical error deep in their own end. She chose the latter, but Midge Purce failed to get a touch on the ball, leaving Moorhouse helplessly watching the free kick tuck inside the right post. Ovalle won a free kick and Marta delivered good cross into the box. Despite the final outcome, the Pride overcame an arduous second half of the year to once again prove they belong among the NWSL powerhouses.
