Highlights | Portland Thorns FC vs. Seattle Reign FC | May 11, 2024

the Thorns now on a four-game winning streak we'll see if that can continue today all right kickoff here at Providence Park lock knows that Fleming's so slippery in those situations Smith fires and it's wide Holmes tries to go over the top that's go and it's poked Away by Mueller Bera wide with it g turns edge of the 18 G takes a light shot and it rolls to Shelby Hogan G and Barnes both up to take this this a good opportunity for the rain to take the lead on the road G curls it up header is away King takes a shot off the volley and it's just off the mark serves It Up In The Box King header skips G head on a swivel is going to keep it in here for Seattle McClarin off for left foot bends it back P header just off wow oh lco will want that one back wow and this is well they knew it was a rivalry y baller G Vera squares leaves it for latco puts it across and it's mtry we see if Portland can counter and they can't Holmes is there she takes a shot and that's blocked down oh the center back going for it Vander wide but I do think finding that extra pass especially for Sophia Smith in that last attack she had she had Pina Sig next to her Smith gets there into the 18 to mtry yes Olivia mry what a finish a sensational strike this is really good from Port look how compact it is but when that happens they're spacing behind and Sophia Smith loves her some space but what she does well here she gets her head up here and she sees out of the corner of her eye she has a trailing runner in mol and this texture is so beautiful from mol Tre she uses the inside of her right foot almost temps it's got to be tough to communicate here for Seattle with how loud it is 3 minutes of stoppage time off Barnes and her left foot headed and it's a Hogan it was lco je header fishlock saved Hogan ball are saved on the line humbly my goodness I don't know which save is better look like it go go gadged right here how did she make that quick of a reaction and then Kelly hub gets thrown into the lineup had to make a goal line save Shelby Hogan also had a good stop amidst the chaos Sinclair heads it forward mtry already has a goal today Fleming shoots from distance and it's right to the keeper and ivory Mueller press here from Seattle Fleming work up G to Smith this is danger here come the Thorns Sophia Smith against Holmes shot from distance and it skips to the keeper Ivory come on and Christine Sinclair leaves Janine Becky in the game Lance open moves it to our right blocked by wera SOA was that a handball swerves linahan off the head of Holmes McLaren as a drafty this year she's so brave and counts herself in One V one situations and this clearly hits off of Sophia wera's arm it hits off of her leg first and then goes up and hits her arm this is where it can get a little bit nuanced all questions and whether or not that hit a hand and we're going to get a V review looks like it slammed into wera from linan it definitely hits a hand definitely hits where it's at penalty long awaited penalty Smith hits that mest touch from Sophia Smith that's what it means for Portland for Rob Gil in this Thorn Squad it's all all cheers and it comes off of The Young rookie just being aggressive going One V one makes Sophia we to Lunge and that lunge the ball pops up and hits her arm sent to the Penalty spine who else are you going to put for a head ball corner now for Seattle baller header saves off the line by Mueller this time Smith in transition is not out of numbers and she gets taken down ripped down Athens the one to commit monster comeback which with how much time we have is very much in the cards and it also just shows you how small the margins of error are in this league Smith into the box puts an across so's there shoots she tucks it in the corner h sugita yeah she hit that perfectly like an arrow into the far post nutting and this ball from wera just goes through through the eye of a needle here she threads the pass and sug it's a bouncing ball to hit this as clean as she does to take all the think about back at the beginning they had the best chance at the in the first half laco should have scored a goal with her head and this feels like it would have been a completely different game and for Seattle it's going to be another loss on the road but my goodness maybe one of their best performances Becky lahan has time and that's a a little high he gave us some examples and that I was Googling an elephant and a rope and all these stories uh maybe we need them Jordan get us hyped I feel like we might we might I was hoping we could get a little ey on behind the scenes go into the locker room Smith takes off head on a swivel Lan shoots why not Portland rolling against their Rivals well this is why Seattle for the first what 50 minutes wanted to limit the space Sophia Smith got but when she gets SP she will make you pay and how about linan she comes in does a great job of recognizing where the space was going to be making sure she was an option for Smith this place is ready to erupt yeah and now they'll have the chance to do it 40 Portland takes down Seattle the Cascadia rivalry here at Providence Park five straight wins for the Thorns under inim Rob Gale
