with Britney and Heather Mike let's take a look at the San Diego lineup and interim head coach Paul Buckle has made no changes game over game from a side that lost three nothing last week to Chicago yeah although that was a tough result Paul Buckle is doubling down with this starting lineup we have kayin Sheran who will need to hold down the back line they are third in the league in least uh goals again so it's not the defense that's the problem right now it is the attacking play Alex Morgan still looking for her first goal of the season season and Sanchez wants to prove that she was worth it to move to San Diego diversely for Portland they've made a number of changes not the least of which Hubbly out on Yellow Card accumulation so you're looking in the back of course the center back pairing of sabron and oay will be one that we'll be watching carefully because the center back pairing is really critical you need a lot of reps together so we will certainly be watching that Sam coffee in the Midfield she's been such a wonderful anchor for the US and Portland Thorns but I'm keeping my eye on J see Fleming she really needs to attack and cut open the Midfield of San Diego to give them a chance she's been very conservative in her play and she's a player that I think can take it to the next level I've heard it is a tough atmosphere to play in and I can see why guys thank you Britney here we go on this Friday night it is the Portland Thorns trying to impress those riveters this evening taking on the San Diego wave Sophia Smith Smith against lumist cuts it through and lifted over by Fleming are we going to see The Fleming coming out party tonight we sure hope so Smith trying to get back into an onside position ball through there goes Smith Sophia Smith knocked Away by Sheridan and the offside flag did come up they allowed it to play out but it sure did look like Smith leaked beyond the line that game more than double Chicago they had the possession and the passing ultimately it proved irrelevant on the night here's Smith leads it through and the ball chipped wide that was quite the chance for Janine Becky them out with any sort of heat that they would come by thank you ball through for Smith Smith off the turn Smith went for goal knocked down by Sheridan doesn't concede a rebound either it was on paper the worst score line suffered by San Diego but over two expected goals in theory it'll give lung fist goes in awkwardly and Alex biter the referee offers the first yellow card of the night yellow card all day when you're coming with that sort of force from behind again Sophia Smith picks up the ball at such a pace as a Defender taking them down is sometimes all that you can do easy yellow card for the referee look at Sophia Smith just getting her body in between the player and the ball the US in very minute ways this is very quick from Portland into the attacking third Becky opens it up Sinclair play on thecal Fires High wonderful delivery in numbers in the Box for San Diego DC hangs it up back pass Morgan tap and go and now it's been waved off it is offs side V will always have a look Alex Morgan has waited so long for that breakthrough moment but it is offside really really good ball in talk about making it count I'm not so sure about that because it's not on the first but you know it's it's she's offside maybe for a second here but on this delivery she's back on again if you look at SAU Brun right in theory that's your player that keeps Morgan [Applause] on if she was at all they are checking the offside now through V and Alex biter has I ongoing conversation in her ear she has shown offside it is in fact officially offside will'll pull it back ball floated up Sinclair Off the Mark many layers in these temperatures is unhealthy I agree ball through for Morgan Morgan from a tight angle that finds Hogan well Alex Morgan comes firing on of halftime and notably look at her left wrist she now has uh something uh to support that wrist she fell on late in the half a really really great final ball though and welcome to the game n Alex Morgan running at you a very angry Alex Morgan that really wants a goal in the next game and you don't have a lot of time to talk about style Smith good leading touch settles Smith from a tight angle couldn't Whittle it by MCN but a corner for the Thorns the corner coffee hangs SAU Brun knocks it back across and there's some contact beneath Sheridan but she Yanks it out of the stratosphere how many times do you think they've done this Mike this one V one duel between the two of them got away from Smith that is a corner well defended from GMA as you can see her qualities as a Defender she's very patient she does not dive in San Diego cutting in off the right here's Sam coffee with the corner pulled down by Sheridan and she wants to go but I'm not sure San Diego's fast enough strung through mcal Sanchez as Sanchez angling across back post off the outside of the netting Jones arrived it was a great buildup through Sanchez and well that explains why Sanchez was so highly sought after in the first place well I think you're absolutely right here because we have Maria Sanchez doing exactly what she's great at that is her bread and butter to be wide and to be able to hit an early ball in behind well done getting Smith angles fires and held at the goal line leaping back kayin sharidan pulls it in for the wave well again Mike we've seen Sophia Smith's ability to go endline we've seen her ability to cut [Applause] inside she can do a little bit of both she prefers to get it onto her right foot so she takes that touch inside is meanwhile the Thorns into the final third and to Sinclair Sinclair across Beck wide it was touched on the way through it is a corner for Portland that was poetry in motion from the thorns a really really great Counterattack of course Becky's going to be disappointed that she's not bearing that looks like the ah Sheridan makes a kick save that's a great save from the goalkeeper really really important kick save there look at her just get herself down cover the goal because she lifts it almost just over Sheridan's foot corner up Sinclair targeted and Becky will shield this out for another set piece for Portland this will be from the Fleming side five corners for Portland this is a San Diego team known for their defensive prowess put under siege on another set [Applause] piece Fleming near post sabrun attempting the flick on and all the way out toward Reyes oh okay WR whe header that's a high arm that's a yellow card skma Smith W it back and to Sita backwards Smith GMA cut it off high now Raiders Sheridan good Patience by hin sug she doesn't just bash it in she's looking to pick somebody out she does top of the box Jesse Fleming's ready to take it as well I love that all these Defenders including Becky sabron is like if you guys aren't going to score s ahead Smith navigating him racing through do keer following and Smith with the angle growing shorter and shorter uh a pivot a pivot holding midfielder so I I miss those DRS the CasCal barcus brings it down with for goal Hogan throws a PW up and knocks it away that is as good a chance as San Diego has had the second half oh I don't know what's better Mike the the chance or the save both are pretty spectacular how about this from The Young player though a great cross back post she thinks about taking it down first time right there with her left decides to bring it back to her right everything's great about that it's on frame it's with Pace really really good reaction save from Hogan Fleming now leading Becky Becky looks up crosses there's the goal the break through the Quilla 10 out of 10 the quill and the Thorns have the lead in the final 5 minutes well we talked about it patience and precision Janine Janine Becky's been at it all night picks her head up just a wonderfully clinical cross behind the back line you see she takes a peak sees exactly where Dilla is with Pace with Bend keeps it away from Sheridan and that's the Precision that it takes to score at this league they've just missed that final piece all game and now they get it from the substitute in a game like this the substitute's play for Portland thrown in this will be a San Diego Corner maybe their last best chance nothing Alex Morgan just trying to force everyone to be contemplative it will be van Egan who races to the corner alongside and will take it now right in front of the riveters here at Providence [Applause] Park van Eggman hangs it up Hogan is she holding on to her second seventh clean sheet of the Year this will be their second win in six if they can see it over the line their eighth under Rock Gale we've gone the seven [Applause] minutes lung fist n Sprints Into The Fray and it is full time the Portland Thorns go into the summer break with a one- nothing win and Rob Gale side get the late winner from Izzy Dilla in the 85th minute they have the riveters E static going into the break
