seats here for this one team's getting ready to head out onto the field of play and you know what that means we are just moments away from kicking off the match which gives us just enough time to bring you upstairs into our broadcast position alongside former US International goalkeeper saskia Weber my name is Mark randino again glad to have you on as we write another chapter between Mexico and the US in the soccer uh book you know you look at this you say the term International Friendly I think it's going to be anything but friendly tonight we know that Becky Tweed has some objectives she wants to accomplish tonight and the biggest objective is to keep the momentum they had going from the summer cup get players more time work on that depth and get players like Kristen press played in and game ready you know this team Angel City is feeling really good after those three wins and of course the lost to gossam in the semi-finals in case you don't know about these two teams we catch you up to speed third season in nwsl as you see the captain Sarah Gordon there for Angel City FC Becky Tweed in her first full season as the head coach but the record at the bottom just four wins so far in their matches played in nwsl regular season play plenty of time to try and improve on that quickly for FC harez a team that started slow when they joined Liga MX but they've gained speed lately the last couple years and Coach Oscar Fernandez has changed their Style they play more of a possession style now and they'll be playing in a 433 tonight let's get you the national anthems here's Natalie Gonzalez [Music] [Music] d [Music] foree [Music] foree [Music] [Applause] [Music] for you see by [Music] what's at the [Music] Twilight and Bri star through [Music] the for the [Music] [Applause] [Music] through the that flag was still there oh of that [Music] [Applause] star of the and the home of [Applause] fantastic job there by natal Gonzalez DUIs with the two national anthems as we work our way in a couple of moments toward the first half kickoff of this International Friendly between FC wadz visiting side from Mexico and the hosts Angel City FC time to get to the team news and we start with the availability report presented by Cedar Cai we haven't seen June Endo all year but hopefully going to have Meritt Maas and Aly Riley back in the F for the stretch run of the season and this is all about managing minutes again and loads giving them another another game's break to get them ready for the second half of the Season well that's who you will not see tonight here inside of bimo Stadium but how about who you will see let's start at the very top I think she's been the MVP in 2024 I'm talking about Clare Emy Clare memy has been lights out this season not just her goals but opening up space getting inverted underneath look for Angel City to isolate her get her set get her set up 1 V1 to go to goal and of course score which is what she's been doing she also added a goal against Bay FC in the summer cup how about the rest of the 11 under Becky tweet it's a starting 11 presented by door Das and we've got two changes from last game versus Gotham Rocky Rodriguez and Lily neet are in at the Double Six holding midfield for Hammond and dhy Hower watch for Kennedy Fuller to make off ball runs pulling Warz double pivot out of position allowing Angel City to bypass lines through the Midfield finding Alyssa Thompson Messiah bright and Clare emsley up top something tells me SAS however that maybe Alysa Thompson kind of finds that goalscoring Mojo here tonight and then it carries over for the final 10 games of the nwsl regular season we turn over to visiting Club and we focus in on the number 11 she plays in the number nine position up top that's Diana Martin from University of Central Florida yes Central Florida and one of my teammates coached her 99er Tiffany Roberts de Martin's incredibly Dynamic when she gets faced up One V one with the ball at her feet she can take on any defender in any league and of course as you often see in the case of an International Friendly both teams intermingling and joining together it's about building that relationship we saw it in the summer cup over the last month with the nwsl teams in the visiting League MX feminal teams and we see it again here tonight how about the 11 for FC harez what are we looking for tonight FC Warz is playing in a 433 look for Wingers alandre Blanco Norma pow Fox to play more inverted opening up the flanks for outside backs Andrea Sanchez and Destiny Doran to attack into allowing Martin to get isolated at that Target nine deser Mony Vice the number 28 the central midfielder they probably the most experienced player in the 11 the 36-year-old known as the AR architect the architect we'll see if she can pull the strings in the central Midfield tonight as her first season actually playing for FC harez after spending the last year and a half with another famous Liga M feminine Club Pumas there is Christen press one of the big headlines over the course of the last month right saskia the fact that I think it's 781 days she finally came back into the F scored in the penalty kick shootout against San Diego wave could be a Super Sub down the stretch the rest of the year is a big question and I think that's the plan for Becky tweet and Angel City manage her minutes get her game fit there's a big difference between Training Fitness and game Fitness manage her minutes get her game fit and ready to go you are going to need her down the stretch we will see her tonight and we will keep an eye on how many minutes in fact she will play Waiting for the whistle to get things officially underway from Alyssa Nichols referee overseeing the match tonight it was back in March of 2023 that club medo is here tonight it's FC HZ and Angel City FC underway from a gorgeous night in Downtown LA here on the Zone happy to have all of you along and joining us SAS Mark Rino and the rest of our crew in the soul Rosa kits it's Angel City attacking Kennedy Fuller over the shoulder bright first time and it's into the back of the net 21 seconds in and Messiah brigh hits for her first ever goal in an Angel City kit it's game on saskia game on and what a team goal by Angel [Applause] City wow a dream start for the club it is a dream start going to watch Kennedy Fuller kind of get that ball not be able to wrap her left foot around it so she turns flicks it up in the air to Bright who who has a wherewith thought watch here Emy serves the ball and it just gets not cleared well but Kennedy Fuller doesn't get a good touch flicks that back overhead but Messiah brght puts the laces right through that and roofs wars's keeper what a start for Angel City well it looked like maybe the moment had passed when emsley sent that ball in but I think you're spot on with Fuller with that little over the- shoulder ball and less than a minute into the opening half of play here tonight an Angel City strike and that is a huge goal not just for tonight sasia but for messiah brigh and her confidence which has continued to grow Becky Tweed told us over the last month absolutely but it's a huge goal for the team Becky Tweed made it clear that she has been pushing the team and telling them we need to score often and score early we don't want to play games that are one nothing that we're holding on to we want to start separating ourselves and this is a great start first corner of the night is presented by Cedar Sinai it'll be Clare emsley the Scottish International driving it in on the near post ball flick through and almost Lily neet kind of healing that one in it was last Touch by FC guz and so Angel City FC will get a chance to immediately line it up again what a start putting FC Waters Under Fire immediately one shot one goal I would say efficient yes and we're going to see emley Target the top of the um penalty spot o she going short that's Alyssa Thompson Thompson Will chop it back onto her left foot used to speed numbers inside the area Rodriguez on the backside in front it's 2N add another one Angel City scoring goals in quick sucession what a dream start here for Angel City two goals in under five [Applause] minutes I think it's Megan Reed it is it's her first ever goal in an Angel City shirt and it's two [Applause] nothing and you're going to see Alysa Thompson just drive to the end line and then get the ball in and re and with the flick and me Megan Reed is just spot on to pick up the Miss clear by Curry but again it's just that intensity that angel city has they just believe play with joy is what Becky Tweed said go out there don't be scared to make mistakes and play with joy and we're seeing it right here two nothing under five minutes you got two players that are scoring their first ever goals in Angel City shirts it's coming inside of 5 minutes of this opening half of play you can't write this stuff well we are in Hollywood more we all are inol close by right the Shadows of the Hollywood Hills by the way Madison Curry will pick up the assist on that goal and of course as we showed you Kennedy Fuller picking up the assist on the opening goal tonight Messiah brigh SE hores Sasuke has to be thinking what have we just walked into right here welcome to beo Stadium well FC RZ plays a man marking in the Midfield so Kennedy by making by making those runs off ball runs she's going to open up spaces for those passes to find Bri to find emley and we're going to see if Warz doesn't tighten that up they're going to continue to get punished little high pressure there from FC quadz Curry trying to get rid of it Fuller steps to win it and now leaves it for Thompson she was certainly part of the fabric of that second goal trying to look out wide for messiah bright instead pulling it back is loal and she'll play it out on the wide side for Duron and you can see right from the start of the game that Angel zity is coming out with that High Press jumping all over everything again get goals early and often separate yourself so you're not you're not holding on at the end of the game Angel City nearly perfect in NW C play when they do score that first goal in fact just one loss all season in 2024 when they've scored that first goal Gordon will leave that one for Megan Reed and the confidence just brimming here from the home side in these opening minutes of the first half Mar will play it out wide Alano Blanco attracts a couple of Angel City Defenders Jasmine Spencer the veteran right back tonight and the double team help comes from Clare emsley now out and running memy tried to play Early Central looking for Kennedy Fuller and that pass is cut out by Eva Gonzalez and those are the spaces where Angel City is going to be vulnerable wars' Wingers play really really inverted that's going to open up the space down the flanks for services and for wars' Midfield and back backs to run into they're dragging Jasmine Spencer in they're dragging M Madison curry in so right now Angel City has to be cautious of the weak side service and the service in behind right now it's the high pressure of Angel City that forces the ball to turn over in the HZ half little earlier start than normal here at mimo Stadium usually we have the 7:30 start times and so with the first half kick going just after 700 p.m. we still got fans filing in settling into their seats for this one imagine filing in and settling in you're like it's two nothing what what did I miss fireworks from the GetGo is now looking for a response Blanco in a foot race but Megan Reed with the inside step to play back for deach we expect hot to go 45 minutes tonight and then probably make way for Angelina Anderson emley had it looked like she wanted to play the big ball diagonal for Thompson but instead takes up the space on her own and now briy lifting the chin dipping the shoulder to get to the end line great job to chop it back on her left foot Bri going for The Far Side was deflected away and now back right in Messiah brigh had not scored all season for Angel City FC and in a matter of minutes she has two and this is all Messiah bright she sticks with the ball even after the first shot gets deflected she sees the goalkeeper off her line and then dunks it back back in over top Messiah bright has shown up tonight watch here as Messiah bright gets the ball faces up drives down decides to cross it but then cuts it back but then when she takes the shot here she doesn't give up she says hey wait the ball's coming right back to me keeper is off her line she notices that nothing the goalkeeper can do recover wise and just dunks it in over the top what awareness from the 24-year-old and this is the reason these types of movements these types of plays are the reason why she was in the Rookie of the Year conversation when she played for Orlando last year we just haven't seen it all year s we haven't and it's the great word for it Mark is awareness most players would have shot that first ball would have been deflected kind of not ready for the rebound to come right back to or maybe taking two touches there instead she just insides a foot dunks it over the top for for a second goal right did pick up an assist during the four matches of the summer cup play the back go shoulder Tosh shoulder to try and win it good recovery there from lilette she does win it back and now Fuller will pick up the loose ball finally settles on the feet of Jasmine Spencer who will find deich high pressure here Angel City deal really [Music] well turnover Martin stepping in to win it going One V one with Megan Reed Reed with the inside track and will shepher it all the way out for adid hich Angel City FC goal Ki and that's a good look at Martin's Dynamic speed that she gets and when she gets One V one she's very very dangerous but Megan Reed ushered her out ushered that ball out and got her body in between her and Har you know the one question I would have with Angel City sasia jumping out to this three nothing lead inside the opening 10 minutes is when you talk about about objectives with Becky Tweed and trying to prepare yourself for the stretch run of 10 regular season matches in nwsl play you wonder if you can still accomplish some of those things with the match getting so lopsided early I'll get your answer in a moment this is Blanco on the left foot but right at hot in the gloves what would you say and you absolutely can because now you need to focus on other things you need to stick to your game plan maybe if you're going into a lower block how do we play that how do we incorporate that without getting punished because as we switch from going to a high press to a low block these are all things to practice to get ready for that second half of the season winning the first ball out in Midfield for HZ and now a whistle gooss in favor of Angel City with Andrea Sanchez in the back there CLA [Applause] Emy well one thing we do know will test would be the patience here of the home side right can they continue to dominate in possession can they find the correct pass when it's on like this one over the top for Alysa Thompson she's got the pace the teenager chopping it back under her right foot she'll call her own number it's deflected out a high press from Jasmine Spencer will rent it right back Spencer to touch it inside for the Costa Rican Rocky Rodriguez through for brigh the return pass and now Rodriguez wide for emsley matched up 1 V one this is where she can be so dangerous sensing the moment not on and going back to the question you asked that's a perfect example you still don't want to take your foot off the gas maybe you're not in the High Press you're in a lower block but get Alyssa Thompson in get that goal that she's been searching for this season it makes a big difference going into the game against San Diego that will not count slide was already up against Clare memy the AR had it well up before m unleash the shot and the timing of the ball on the long diagonal service into the Scottish International we'll take that one off the ball off the board excuse me just underway but if you're just stepping into our coverage here on the Zone you've already seen or missed it I should say three goals into the back of the net two by Messiah brigh her first and second ever goal playing for Angel City remember she was traded over from Orlando before this season and also joining in the first timer Club is Center back Megan Reed who had the second of the three good composure there from hadachi Gordon will spin away from traffic and find Madison Curry an nwsl rookie who has continued to play valuable minutes in her first season professionally you kind of felt from the beginning first half of the Season that that read goal was coming though we've seen her come close pull up some shots on corner kick from outside the box in the top of the penalty spot but hasn't had any Joy well you know what's going to be the Capper is if we can get Sarah Gordon her first ever go with Angel City as well can I get the two center backs to score on one night don't think it's not going probably through Sarah Gordon Z Gordon the captain as Becky Tweed told us has just been incredible in her growth has becoming comfortable with one of the leaders of his team Blanco trying to use the heel pass into the feet of Martin touched Away by Jaz [Applause] Spencer so here's Andre Sanchez to put her back in play FC Waters you just want to find some positivity right now Thompson tucked really in narrow but able to use her speed to get out into some open space has the overlapping run from Curry instead it's Thompson now for curry flag will stay down and the Orange County native will run it down nette and there's the patience we were talking about Well Done by Angel City to see it's not on Curry to see it's not on pull it back say Okay patience let's work this around let's find the right lines to bypass let's find the right space Don't Force It And this is stuff you take into the second half of the Season good save there from CLA Hemley I will say this I thought I love Alyssa Thompson right it's a double-edged sword I love her being selfish to try and get her name on the scoring sheet but I thought the early ball on the overlap from Madison Curry was on she had a ton of open space in that movement here is Fuller with some space of her own loada sliding over to De one one and that one will wind up in the gloves of mashari and Angel City is doing really well to follow up any shots that come in because Masha relli plays a little bit in kind of a no man's land on shots from outside the box and right around the top of the D and can drop balls and Bobble balls so I think you're going to see Angel City framing the goal following up every shot to see if they can clip one saw the shot of Becky Tweed over there on the bench I think Angel City fans without question this is stating the obvious sasia there's no whistle and play on here quarez winds up with the ball hoping she can produce a similar run as to what she did last year when she took over for fre and the stretch run I think it was one loss in the second half of the season they had the best record in the second half of the season and ultimately made their way to their first postseason bur we talked to Becky Tweed about the advantages of having her entire team available during the Olympic break I think it's a huge Advantage you don't have the load that was put on players like GMA and Rodman GMA played every single minute of every game Fuller look like she wanted to let one go instead theat will let one go and it goes up into row 10 and Becky tweet said it gave them the time they needed this time as a team to work on things to manage loads to recover and if you imagine some teams like Gotham and Washington where six players have been gone for six for six weeks I think it's going to make a huge difference coming into the second half of the season and hey anybody can make the playoff with three points be below eighth right now Angel City sitting on 15 points out of their 16 games knocked out over on the far side there is Sarah Gordon again not just the captain but she has been a stout leader across the back four she won't get that Iron woman for the third time in her career cuz she had to miss a couple of games with an injury but every time she is on the field you can tell with the leadership and her speed her ability to read the game back there just different level and that's why she was nwsl best 11 a season ago here she is to play it back for haach curry tons of space now quad is chasing to get numbers back brigh already two goals to tonight can she complete the hatrick can't wait to find [Applause] out Sanchez will knock it back singano with the square ball all the way across here is the Tanzanian Defender it's Fuller who will pressure the ball Castillo bypassing lines to play it forward and FC Wat has turn it over into space Thompson using that speed again ala Thompson had trouble with the first touch goes down inside the area the ball still loosing a point to the Penalty spot Angel City FC through the hard work of Alyssa Thompson are going to have a chance to make it [Applause] [Music] four such smart play by Alyssa Thompson she Drew this penalty penalty draw driving towards the goal cutting inside of her Defender and getting herself click this is this is a professional professional play so if you watch Alyssa Thompson here she cuts inside wars's Defender who takes her down there's really nothing else the defender can do but run into Thompson she draws that penalty kick it's Destiny durong the LA native who picks up the yellow there for that foul and now Alysa Thompson as Claire emley handed over the ball to the 19-year-old she had four goals in nwsl play a year ago that's her first of 2024 Thompson is on the board and Angel City have four in the first half this is a great PK by Alysa Thompson so confident on the ball you could tell that she wanted this goal so bad but when you watch her step up for this PK she just buries it side netting with pace and confidence opens up her hips dunks it into the corner nothing nothing can be done about this it is a little high fingertips on it but the pace is what puts it in the back of the neck sasuka you may recall she scored her first ever professional goal against a different Mexican club Club America back on March the 26th of 2023 right here at bimo Stadium we were on the call for that one and now she opens her 2024 goal scoring account from the penalty spot in the 19th minute and Angel City have their wings out and are Flying high in the first half the the Gaza from outside the 18 far left corner of the box to the opposite Upper 90 that's right I absolutely remember that goal so and hopefully that one here tonight maybe is the spark for the final 10 games of nwsl player Rachel City we'll head south to San Diego next weekend a week from tonight to get back into League Play Bright pressuring the ball shepher it out there by singano but these are all positives for Angel City to take into the take out of the first half I know we still have a lot of time to go yes we do we haven't even hit the Midway point but also to take into the rest of the season now you've got Alyssa Thompson on the board bright is firing on all cylinders and they're still staying organized Compact and not giving anything in the back FC huarez did play a match in apura play two nights ago it was a one- nothing loss against one of the Premier teams in their league montere so a little bit of squad rotation on the night for Oscar Fernandez their head coach but I don't think anybody in FC Water is probably expected to see the score line go this way in the opening 21 A2 minutes Angel City fans would tell would tell you they were expecting to see somewhat of an explosion but I think even when we talked to Becky Tweed she didn't I don't think she expected this explosion either nice little ball back from brigh is emsley going to get in on it emsley it's all gone wrong for FC harez and the lights are shining bright at beo stadium for Angel City who make it 5 [Applause] n and again bright involved in another goal scoring opportunity we're going to see bright get the ball here and just that little dink into emsley who drives to the goal and you know when emsley's one V one going at goal she's going to tuck it away she draws it she draws in martial and just tucks it by [Applause] her what a little exchange right there and that is the eighth goal in 2024 in all competitions for Clare emley and Messiah brigh for the second time in a month adds an assist to her Ledger but can we talk about Messiah brigh tonight just finding those spaces and we talked about it in the open Mark that if those players in the Midfield were playing man marking and Kennedy Fuller pulled them out of the space then you had Rodriguez and you H and you have the rest of the back line being able to find Bright's feet by bypassing lines and that's what we're seeing here a clinic being put on here in the first half through 23 minutes in change by Angel City FC I mean right checking back into that space that was left open by Kennedy Fuller the ball gets played in and then it's just a one touch to an onrushing emsley that's just you can't write that up anybody straight off the training ground straight off the training ground in prep for the way FC Warriors plays now that will wi the first ball out of the air and it looks like SC ha are already preparing their first change tonight and Angel City is going to prepare their first as [Applause] well ball in for Martin and knocked out for an Angel City throw [Applause] you know Mark I love this substitution I think we all do I love this substitution that's wait wait for the surprise you got [Applause] it 25th minute of [Applause] play Gordon the captain this score line certainly will give Becky tweed's script of how she wanted to maybe run the substitutions tonight here in this International Friendly a different feel because for certain players well for all players for Angel City for that matter health is a key concern when it gets a little bit lopsided like this Megan Reed she had the second of the five tonight with the long diagonal ball for curry I still think you bring in a Christen press because as we talked about in the open you have to get her game ready and game minutes it's different than on the training ground so I still think we see a Christen press come in it's possible we don't see a Sydney Laro come in yeah she only featured as a sub in one of the four summer Cup games Laro she knows what's expected of her when she steps on so I think you're right Sydney lar is a player you want to let her get really as close to 100% as she can for the stretch run because she will be vital and there are no limits on substitutions tonight so technically everybody everybody can play correct but I still think you're going to look more like a Casey fair you might not put an MA venola in Madison ham and Knight might not come in in this situation Fuller able to get away from The Challenge attacking the edge of the 18 now Curry waits for Thompson to pop into some space Thompson Thompson looking for more she'll play it inside for brgh good Hold Up play inside the 18 a great turn and deflect it out for what will be Angel City FC's third first half corner rming with confidence Messiah bright love to see it and you're just going to see Messiah bright hold up wars's defense and still get something out of it like you said brimming with confidence and that's what you want and it's it's everybody's feeling it you know it's trickling down to the entire team third Corner 27th minute presented by Cedar SI short corner for nette tough ball to handle she was coming back on to her left foot MZ delivered a sharp pass onto her right foot and so nothing coming out of that opportunity Alysa Thompson scoring from the penalty spot in the 19th minute and going back to saskia's point about building death and talking about Christen press we actually expect to see at some point here in the first half Becky Tweed was very straightforward saying I want to see what it looks like when Christen press plays with Alyssa Thompson and Clare emley [Music] stepping in full head of steam and look at Megan Reed just Shield the ball away making sure the 23-year-old did not bear down for an opportunity on [Applause] goal Rodriguez couldn't get there but deflected out by nette you know it's straight work by Megan Reed you just see her shoulder Tosh shoulder with Martin but Megan Reed's been described as an old school Defender you know get stuck in puts her body in between the ball and does the hard work and you saw it right there she was a 2022 Iron woman after the player that's right next to her Sarah Gordon suffered the injury right before the inaugural season for Angel City FC now those two especially since the trade that sent Paige neelon to Houston early on in the season those two have become the two center backs they played all 90 minutes of all four games in the summer cup they're working very well together both Reed and Gordon because they're two totally different types of center backs like I said Megan Reed likes to get stuck in she's she's old school and then you have Sarah Gordon who loves to go forward on a dribble break lines one stays one goes going to the bench here in the first half substitution presented by Scouts farmers market and it's the debut of Hannah sta the 25-year-old Japanese gold goalkeeper steps into the pipes in a match for the first time for Angel City FC and I really like this substitution we have yet this is the first time we're seeing Hannah play I've had the privilege of watching her in training sessions for Angel City she is a pure shot stopper she's Dee harich and Angelina Anderson put together I like to see if she gets some action so she we could see her in action I don't know if we'll see that much out of her this afternoon but but this is a great substitution she was acquired in a transfer in January and a well-deserved break anyway for Dei hich she played two of the four summer Cup matches so she's fresh and ready to go with the return next weekend to nwsl play against San Diego and Angelina Anderson who played the other two summer Cup matches had a really good summer cup solid Gams so she's ready to go as well this goalkeeper h brck is just she's fun to watch she's Dynamic she's explosive let's see if she gets some action and we've also we've also seen her off the field right with with her personality and uh you know side by side at times with Juno early on in the season Gordon to relay it out wide for curry this left side has been fruitful in this first half for Angel City Fuller making the run but instead it's julita singano know who was there to intercept for FC wates Fuller now spinning about 40 yards away from the FC HZ goal Rocky Rodriguez will send it toward the corner L there to defend and pick it up but only for a moment legs tangle on the far side had a free kick coming here and I think think one of the changes we're seeing a little bit in FC Wars by coach Oscar fernanz is trying to get his Wingers to stay a little bit wider and stretch the field they're too com Compact and with that double pivot of Angel City Angel City's just eating up anything that's coming down the center of the [Music] pipe Fuller will pick up The Possession emley calling for it in the center circle on the right side of your screen but instead ball stays on the floor for jazz Spencer able to get it past that first challenge of Diana Martin and it looks like FC Waters have actually shifted some pieces around same 11 out there for Oscar Fernandez the Spanish head coach but for example Martin who started in a central forward role she's now moved to the left side and pushing further up is on ice and what I think F what I know fernandz is doing there is just trying to isolate her with Jasmine Spencer on the outside and see if Martin can go One V one against Spencer because she wasn't having any joy in the center of the field against Gordon and [Music] Reed here is the aforementioned Reed touching inside for emley wisley gets it off Murphy [Music] quickly B trying to tackle it away s will come through and just clear it in Angel City to that's where Sarah Gordon has a beat on my reaction and the first touch of her Angel City career there for stba almost a little bit heavy and had to send it in between the benches out for an FCU throw little nerves there I'd say on that first touch but it's always get that first one out of the way it's why a lot of teams when you sub a goalkeeper and if goalkeeper comes in for the first time you'll see Defenders or midfielders play that first ball back to a goalkeeper allowing the goalkeeper get a couple touches on the ball feel confident with their passing and their distribution well we hope you're enjoying our International Friendly coverage here tonight on the zone you can also look forward to some exciting leagues kicking off soon with the dfb bral starting on August 20th frown Bundesliga starting August 30th we're also the global home of Liga as well as that one bounces all the way back into the gloves of Maselli that League will get underway on September the 7th we cannot wait register for free at the zone.com that's dn.com womenfoot for access to live and On Demand matches in selected territories Thompson looking for another and she Skies it over the bar would it been too much to ask for six here in the first half wow and I love that Thompson is taking on One V one and trying to get that goal in the Run of play not just the goal off the PK we've seen this throughout the beginning half of the Season where she's just missing on this shot so I think it'll be huge for her to actually tuck one of these away confidence was a big word and a buzz word I should say at that ball dips out in between the benches for Becky tweet in our conversation prior to coming in this one and freedom freedom to play with joy and make mistakes that's a lot of work that is a lot of work those are the buzz words that stuck out of my head I agree I agree and I think we're seeing all of that so far here in 35 minutes of this first half back for DBA if you missed it she just stepped on making her Angel City FC debut getting an opportunity to get some minutes for some players that might not normally see the field for Becky TW and Angel City long Serpentine run here from Curry Fuller as that one's deflected and just goes over the top of the bar it'll be a fourth first half Corner [Applause] coming that's good Movement by Curry driving into the top of the D and then the little dump off to to foer but this is what I was talking about with Marsha re playing in the wrong position for shots at the top of the box she's too far off her line and kind of in no man's land at about the four four yd line so anything that does get deflected is going to drop it could drop in over the top of it corner kick in the 36th minute presented by Cedar Sinai first one from this side as emsley knocks it into the back post headed down in in front brgh almost had one and I think she might did Messiah brigh make it three yes we see you Messiah doing everything she can under the bright lights the hattrick hero here in the first half and that makes it six for Angel [Applause] City well is it Messiah Bright's night for sure and we're going to see this ball come in off the corner kick watch as Angel City just keeps it alive with Paige neelon heading it down it's a perfect place for Paige neelen to head the ball you head the ball down it causes problems s bounces up right off the goalkeeper bobbles the ball Messiah Bri tucks it in but it's all because Paige neelon headed it down Megan Reed headed it down and Messiah brigh with the curtain call right there to make it a hattrick and just as we suspected with 10 minutes to go Kristen press will step on [Applause] here that's just smart play by Megan Reed and and a welcome return to the field again M 700 plus days almost 800 days to be fair since that knee injury they kept her out she played eight games the very first season remember press is the first ever player that Angel City added to their roster that came all the way back in August of 20 21 Fuller now and memley she's already got one she's got some help looking for press and again this is a this is a dynamic we want to see here tonight sasi the minutes between emley press and Alysa Thompson what does that look like you want to build those relationships and dynamic with in the game and game play you're going to see Kristen Press Play High play a true nine and then emley and Alissa Thompson run offer look to find her feet Jasmine Spencer will pick up the whistle and the free kick press the SoCal native from west of here Palace [Applause] veres and the former star at Stanford University could be a huge boost to Angel City's chances of making a run into the playoffs if she can find some form here heading into the final 10 games of the regular season here's emley short on the free kick to find the teenager Kennedy Fuller now emsley will serve it in onto the back post headed away Rodriguez couldn't find the first touch and maybe a transition moment coming here for FC Waters can they break out but a ton of Angel City jerseys including Madison Curry tracking back to ultimately win the ball and possession 39th minute don't adjust your screens at all it is 6 nothing Angel City which included a hattick for messiah brigh who is now watching From the Bench with Christen press coming into the fold we were told press minutes continue to be monitored so thus the reason to get her in here to start the final 10 minutes or so of this first half we expect to see here in the early minutes of the second half Spencer on the pass from press Spencer attracts three FC HZ Defenders now wide for Emy Emy get the service off cleanly it's cleared [Music] away looking to head It Forward into space and the getting push in the back there from Ice and those there's a moments you want to see eny kind of take a breast not force that ball bring it back work it back around cuz that that cross wasn't on we saw it get blocked and almost turn into transitional moment for FC Warez [Music] Madison Hammond and just going to we're just going to see Lily the's foot get clipped out from under her no ill intent but no ball gotten there Angel City gets the foul really clean first half here for Angel City love to close it out with this score line if you add one or two more sure that's great but keep that zero on the board keep the positives going keep the possession going Reed has had a spectacular first half look at the layoff there from press and the return pass from memy press on the corner and that ball into the back post a little CL coose and into the gloves of Maselli but Kristen press doing what Christen press does best just finding those little spaces the OneTouch layoff for the pickup getting the ball back and then the service into the box love to see it Fuller tug down from behind and that will give Angel City FC a quality spot for a free kick it was Castillo who will pick up the second booking [Music] tonight going to see the top on the back of Kennedy Fuller's back goes down to the ground smart play by Fuller to take that foul but now the more important thing is to use this moment really to work on M emsley's free kick from outside the box maybe she puts this on frame and follows up by Angel City's follows up to see if there's a rebound right these are training ground things that you want to work on as a team heading into the stretch run of the Season good ball out in front pressed nearly with a chance and the second chance goes over the ball from Rocky Rodriguez oh wouldn't that have been part of the Hollywood script Kristen press in the Run of play there what a dangerous service by Clare emley it's the service that goalkeepers hate to see it comes whipping in behind watch here she gets her boot behind it it drops right in too far for the keeper to come and everybody's running at you it's what you hate to see as a goalkeeper and then Rocky Rodriguez just misses goes over the top Angel City pressing for number seven here in just the opening 45 minutes as we're here in the 43rd a hattrick from Messiah brigh including the opener 20 seconds in to the first half Clare emsley has added one Megan Reed has added one and Alyssa Thompson for the second time in her career finding the back of the net against a team from Liga mchis feminine here on theone the global home of women's football we've got some exciting leagues kicking off soon with City commencing on the 30th of August arema Premier League on the 21st of September and the Saudi Women's Premier League starting the 27th of September fans can register for free at dzone.com womenfoot for access to live and On Demand matches in select territories here come the host one more time Thompson and a big save to not allow a seventh goal from rata mashari she's been tested tonight saskia but that was the first time she passed she has it was a big save she was a little bit out of position on that I think that if Alysa Thompson had kind of lifted that and tried to bend it it was on she was a little far off her line but just seeing Thompson drive with the command to drive to the Box take on One V one watch her put her boot through this it's a big save by Marshal Lee and in that F fifth first half Corner presented by Cedar Sinai no initial chance on the first service Kennedy Fuller trying to keep it alive nette had it knocked out from underneath and a whistle is going to give a free kick to Angel City in a really good spot as well some frustration starting to brew for deser monice she will be the third FC hes player booked here by our referee Alysa Nichol in the first [Music] [Applause] half the veteran midfielder was having a conversation with our referee Alysa Nichols earlier in the first half wanting a card to go against Angel City and you can see here as the whistle goes and then she just knocks it away and that's the reason for the yellow so we saw emsley a moment ago a little further distance out trying to knock it in onto the back post for Kristen press what do the hosts have drawn up here emsley direct effort emsley number two on the [Music] night and Angel City FC with a touchdown in the first half 7 nothing this a world class goal by Claire emley stepping up from that spot and putting her boot through it we're going to see laces Upper 90 nothing Marshal Le can do about it well we said at the onset of our coverage here on denone she has been the unquestionable MVP in 20124 for Angel City FC and putting it on display tonight the 30-year-old Scottish International with two goals here in the first half and a sensational strike right there from about 30 plus yards out into the upper corner you got the sense that Maselli was cheating a little bit because of that last free kick that went to Christian press and that she wasn't so sure if it wasn't going to happen for a second time and boy did Clare emley catch her cheating right there and this is exactly what we were talking about off the training ground These are times to practice these things CLA Ensley take up take step up take a strike through that see if you can get some Joy on the end of it and she did there's been a ton of stars here in this first half including Messiah Bri as she joins us here on our coverage as we've hit halftime with a seven nothing lead uh Messiah I mean I can use a lot of adjectives to describe that first half right there how would you describe it um I it it's it's just an honorable feeling um I think it's that's a team effort uh that wouldn't be possible without my teammates so yeah it's just H I was just happy to get on the board quick um for the team and yeah Messiah what was the mentality coming into this game you guys are playing with so much joy and freedom How is how's the whole team feeling right now the teams uh we're we're all on track I think that was our our motto coming out is just having fun and letting loose and you know being our own canvas and painting our own pictures so that's basically what we're doing um and we're just connecting in the final third uh the defense is doing a great job uh and it's a it's a team effort all around you know you hadn't scored in an Angel City shirt in an official match coming into tonight so I guess you decided to maybe make up for a little lost time you bag three here in the first half Messiah I mean whoever who you better tell whoever's in the dressing room that's going to come out for the second half they've got a lot to live up to I'm assuming you're going to let them know man um you know it's an honor uh being able to do that um I only had 35 minutes so I had to put my best foot for it but whoever is stepping in on the pitch as well they're going to they're going to give their best foot too and I have all the confidence in the world whoever comes in for my position we know this is going to be the spark for a huge final 10 games down the stretch for you thanks for stopping through thank you great stuff that's Messiah Bry the former TCU horn frog she opens her Angel City FC goal scoring account with a hattrick tonight here in the first half and her teammates add

native teenager performing in that number 10 role in the first half and it looks like wholesale changes coming here in the second half for head coach Oscar Fernandez and [Applause] [Music] fcz whole boatload of players coming on we'll get you up to speed with those changes in a moment [Music] as it looks like six or seven different players stepping out onto the field for this second half and why not sasu you want to try and get some extra minutes knowing that the return to the Liga m feminal apera is just a week away we're underway in the second half here on the zone as the teams have switched in Angel City FC up 7 nil after 45 minutes and now attacking from right to left across your screen we can tell you Hana stot got the final few minutes in goal in place of Dei haach but Angelina Anderson the second year Pro out of Cal Berkeley has stepped in which was really the game plan all along here in the second half to get things going [Applause] [Music] [Applause] M vinola also coming into the fold the 26y old former Tennessee B and Ma showing her versatility there coming in for Eliza Thompson up top can play in the back we've seen her in the back for Angel City multiple times there she is on the ball and she sends that one over the top of the crossb but now gets a nod at outside Winger so just two changes to come in in this second half there is Angelina Anderson the 23-year-old NorCal native she started the first three games of the 2024 nwsl season but hich has taken back over that number one spot I mean Becky tweet told us right she is the future probably as far as goalkeeping for Angel City but Dei is the number one right now and she has some growing to do and you saw it actually in the summer cup she had two really solid games in the summer cup she's come a long way from the those first three games and will continue to improve and grow she's a solid number two for Angel City or like I say a number one and a half one and a one a right one and a half one and a one a spinning chance there Prisa chilua one of seven different changes to come on here in the second half the Zambian forward we'll try and see if she can make a dent in the seven goal lead for and I think it makes sense for Warz to mix it up as well send in these nine UPS get them running and playing they did just come off a game on Friday so let's get some fresh legs in there and see what different combinations can produce as we're just getting the second half started with Angel City I wouldn't call it coasting SASE Weber out to a 4 nothing 7 nothing lead excuse me but they look pretty comfortable in everything they did in the first 45 minutes glad to have you along here for this International Friendly on the Zone Sask Weber Mark rogano your normal pairing when it comes to calling Angel City action but really pleased to be joined by the new diamond in the jewelry case for Angel City FC and of course I'm talking about Katie M joining us here on our broadcast on the Zone I I guess first thing I would say is officially from us to welcome to Southern California I imagine it's been quite a wild ride for you so far yeah it has um been almost a week now and I've been doing all sorts s in the apartment didn't to get my Visa so now I feel much more settled I I would have said you know I would have said like finding my new place to live but I think sorting my apartment sounds much better I I like it what are some of the immediate like different that you've noticed besides the weather from Manchester to here yeah the weather for sure the sunsets are awful I know and the moon um I think just from watching the game like you can tell it's so physical the league over here like I think there's a lot more Transitions and it's something that I'm excited to be a part of and hopefully get in there and be able to connect the attack to defense a little bit more well you know when you talk about transition Becky Tweed we asked her about you into the full with this team and she said noticing on videotape watching the way you play you seem to be a couple of snapshots ahead of certain moments especially in transition is that something that's always been part of your game or something that has grown with you with your time in Manchester Juventus Liverpool um yeah I think I enjoy watching football I read the game quite well so I think that always helps if you can think one step ahead when you're playing and you know or you can predict whether uh where you think the attack's going to be or maybe shut down shutting down their attack and you've gotten reunited with fellow players before you're back playing with Christen press and one of your closest friends CLA emley talk about how that hat is to just be reunited yeah it's so nice um before I'd even signed I spoke to both of them so that was nice to get a bit of insight um I was actually men be a bridesmaid at the same wedding as CLA this summer um so that's funny to be now reunited in LA and back playing with Chris I think everyone knows the quality she brings so I'm I'm excited for that if if you give people an idea of of what your game is going to bring here to Angel City what are some of the characteristics I think because you know there'll be people that are Avid followers especially of Manchester United and all your success there that are Avid or your your time with English national team but there'll be some people that are new to Katie and want to understand what you bring to the field maybe tactically yeah I think I'll bring calmness um I like to play with composure and Technical ability and also hopefully some set pieces we we like that and how about your friend CLA Ensley with that laser in the top corner for number seven of the night yeah I T that one I love it I love it I love it oh my God what a perfect answer what about tonight what are you seeing tonight that excites you a lot of goals yes they ran out of smoke and Pyro out because of the seven goals um you know I always like to ask this to to International Players especially and and and players with your type of experiences FC harez brings this one into attacking in for a moment a rare foray forward for the leag of mchi side uh who who were the players that you emulated growing up when you when you were playing when you were maybe in your early teens that you wanted to play like was it a Manchester United was it was it a Roy Keane was it was it a David Beckham was it was it someone on the women's game maybe a Kelly Smith yes thank you drop that in there for you okay yeah to be honest I think Kelly Smith was I played Pro Kelly yeah one of the best English players Tove ever been but I also love peo um also at Juventus I think how he plays controls the game is's able to slow everything down to how he wants to play and then speed it up I think Iniesta is another one um I think they're the type of people that only come on once every so often the same as Kelly and I think that's what better people to look up to yeah I mean some pretty good names right there right I think and and Kelly Smith during her time playing here in the states scored some fantastic goals on me she was like my one Nemesis like you have that one player you play against that always seems to score on you that was ke well it wasn't just only usasi I mean she she scored against a lot of goals here in the states right whether it was wsa or WPS right yeah exactly no fantastic player coming into the second half of the season do you feel any sort of nerves or anything or pressure coming on top of you I mean being an 11th but knowing that we're just in Touching different distance of the playoffs how are you feeling about that yeah I think I've been pretty open that's my main aim of the season to try and contribute in whatever way I can to the team and get into the playoffs um straight from coming in I spoke to Ang City and I said wherever I am I want to win so for the rest of this season and hopefully season going forward that will be my aim and I'm sure that's a that was a close one that was back post ball off the crossbar Anderson had to make sure she goes down to her left to see that one why but the first real chance for SC HZ in the match tonight comes here in the 54th minute one of Angel City at newest players ktie LM joining us here in the booth here on Jone as we take another look at that one sasia yeah we're going to see the service in and then the powerful header and I I think that Anderson did get a tip on that I always go to default on the keeper she absolutely got a tip on that to hit it into the crossbar and keep it out that was Mado with the service and I said with the back post header there well before we let you go uh some of the exciting things that we can look forward to obviously seeing you on the field of play do you have any one thing that you know maybe you've heard about LA or you want you want to see in La while while you start your time here um in addition to the sunset is El has Elizabeth Eddie offered to take you surfing yet well I've heard a lot of the girls are good at surfing so I'm not sure I'm going to be quite up to that first things first first things first we appreciate you stopping by and getting a chance to get you on with us here in deson we look forward to a great rest of the season and even bigger things to come obviously down the road cuz we know it's not just 10 games right we got we're going to have you here for a while yeah you for you stuck with me now I love it it's a good it's a good thing to have we'll take it we'll take it that is Katie Zam joining us here on the Zone the newest player added to the roster for Angel City FC she's only been here about a week I believe in the States but looking forward to getting out on the training ground and being a part of the fabric of this team for the stretch run speaking of stretch it's Christian press cutting inside under a right foot she'll call her own number and that one pushed away as goalkeeper Carla Morales came in here in the second half she made the save is it going to lead to a first second half corner it is you know and if Katie's calmness and confidence is has half as much as what she just stood here and showed us we are in for some fun in the second half of the season and in the future you know I think it's only human nature a little bit right with a seven nothing lead right now for Angel City FC to to see them concede a chance at one in that it didn't go in it comes off the crossbar but also you know not as many four Rays forward into the attacking in this corner the first one of the second half presented by Cedar cyanide it's emley and the give and go there with ma venola centering pass headed away follow-up chance for Fuller will go wide back to your comment this is exactly though what angel City needs to work on even though you're up 7 nothing you have to go into the mentality of we want to keep a clean sheet what do we have to do that we want to play solid on defense stick to our game plan diffuse situations work the ball around not give up chances well there is your answer with the minutes on the night for Christen press as Sydney laroo we weren't so sure we were going to see Cindy laroo here tonight but we do get a chance to see the veteran Striker step on here Christen press will head to the bench Clare memley will step off Elizabeth Eddie will step on you were mentioning Elizabeth [Applause] Eddie and then the final part of the trio right there Casey Fair coming on remember she me recently made her debut with Angel City FC during the summer cup and the South Korean International will come on here just before the hour mark going into this game against San Diego next week this is what Becky Tweed wants to do I wasn't sure if we were going to see Sid she did put a lot of minutes in in the summer cup but you want to get those legs going you don't want a player of Sid caliber to sit out for a full 90 minutes a full game and then just go into a week of training same with Casey far you want to get Casey far and you want to get her legs under her she just had her first appearance during the summer cup so managing her minutes and getting her more game time and connections with those other players Fair the youngest ever signing back in January of 2023 to sign with the club right behind her was Kennedy Fuller when you talk about depth Becky Tweed has it it's starting to show itself at this point in the season when you can bring a sid liver want you score seven goals you have C clicking on all cylinders Elissa Thompson so there is depth there to carry this team through into the playoffs Fair laying that ball off perfectly and now out into space is Sydney [Applause] Laro waiting overlapping run inside there from vinola and tackled out be a goal kick or a corner it'll be a goal kick here for FC haers you know that's the one question or concern I should say I have from ma venola right limited to just eight appearances here she had that really bad ankle injury early on in the season that has kept her appearances down but if she can find that form that saw her earn in 2023 her first cap with the US Women's National Team that's another piece like Kristen press like adding K Katie ZM like adding these pieces for the final stretch run is going to make Angel City so dangerous here is Eddie knocking it in toward the penalty spot pushed away by FC wat is but even getting and Elizabeth Eddie on getting these players time builds that dep and confidence and they play together and they get each other's Rhythm so it doesn't make a difference and and Becky tweet said this who the starting lineup is she doesn't know who the starting lineup or who the who the main goal scorer is right she doesn't know who the starting lineup is next week against San Diego so the competitive competitiveness excuse me within the club is certainly driving confidence for a lot of players and it's a problem that you want as a coach I mean same with FC Wars right now yes they're down 7 nothing but now you make these tactical substitutions you bring in nine players you put a whole new system on the field and and do they shut Angel City down for the the rest of this half and if they do well now you tactically going into your next game have to think maybe I need to make some changes Eddie will pressure the ball organize the way back as both teams reset their shape Morales sends it back out Angel city has the numbers to win it this is Kennedy Fuller just outside the edge of the 18 trying to push it through there for fair and it looks like OT Fernandez set to make another change here [Music] [Music] end of the night and again we talked about the fact there are no limits if you're confused and watching there are no substitution limits tonight it's a friendly this is why we talked about multiple players coming in getting time building depth for both teams and so you're seeing that with all these substitutions right now it's a boot that comes in to replace Miriam [Applause] Castillo and it looks like Angel City are going to go back to the bench again which is something we expected coming into [Applause] tonight Magie dowy Howard coming in Madison Hammond also coming in so Rocky Rodriguez and Kennedy Fuller will head to the bench and this isn't a surprise here for City to sub in Maggie Dy how along with Madison Hammond they've been playing together in the summer cup you want to keep those connections especially as the double pivot that holding Midfield both of them side by side at the sixes you want to keep them clicking going in to the rest of the season could be some valuable minutes too for Katie Johnson who was the third player to just step on here remember she battled a bit of injury and there was some questionable questionability I should say whether or not she would be available but Johnson is on and we're watching Angel City drop more into a low block not putting that high pressure on FC Warz where Katie Johnson is really good on the high press she chases the ball down and has perfect timing but she can still do that once Warez crosses over the Midfield line 63rd minute same score line we took into halftime 7 nothing after the opening 45 minutes but with a whole plethora of changes for FC Wades here in the second half they've looked much more dangerous and in fact getting more opportunities in and around the Angel City goal Laro heads that first one away Sante W trying to win it but a whistle will go in favor of Angel City and Angelina Anderson will set up for the free kick Outsider 18 desona the global home of Ufa Women's Champions League qualifiers are underway with semi-final taking place on September the 4th the draw for the group stage of the competition will take place on September the 27th and you can see it live on D Zone speaking of platform glad to have you along here tonight for our International Friendly coverage on Zone I think the script has gone according to PL SAS we've had a couple of great guests stop through we saw Messiah brigh opened her goal scoring account with Angel City probably the only ones that aren't really thrilled with how it's been is FC wats it's a great night for Angel City to take that momentum into the second half of the season they couldn't have written the script any better as you said well the question would be if we're talking tactics right how do they take a performance like this cuz if we have to be transparent here transparent here uh yes FC qu is a team that is in the top half of the Lega M feminal table but they're not Portland Thorns they're not Kansas City current what you're going to do coming out of this game is you're going to break down the little things you're going to see what went well like this drive by Ma right here ma entering into the edge of the 18 late arriving tackle pushes it away Dy Howard bending one in the direction of Laro Elizabeth Eddie will track it down in the far side of the 18 waiting for some help has Jaz Spencer available if she chooses to use it the veteran uses her crafty footwork to get free and then Morales with the gloves on it at the near post and you were saying I I'm just right now loving Elizabeth Eddie's just tenaciousness to take on there run around the player the veteran just is so versatile we see her up top came in for Claire Ensley you know she can play outside on back in the left and she's just such a positive influence on this team many players have pointed to her influence and in fact Becky Tweed told us earlier this week right we were asking about the chemistry and the collective effort of how you do produce a run like you did in 2023 to earn your first ever nwsl playoff spot and that was one of the names that immediately rolled off her Tong the work ethic from Eddie but also her leadership and presence off the field is just something Becky tweet be so highly about she's earned the right to be on this field and Becky tweet is very big on that you earn the right to play you don't just automatically get to [Music] start as we approach the Midway point of the second half Casey Fair Jersey girl that's right got to give the Jersey shout outs know how I am about [Applause] that and you wonder what role she may play in the second half of the season in those final 10 games of nwsl play now that we're seeing more minutes from her here in this last month under Becky tweet I remember you still have a gazelle con that we haven't seen and coming back and that's she's had such an exciting first half of the Season that I can't wait to see what she does second half it goes back to your comment about depth as Curry will cut that one away from pressure and here is ma vanola back for Reed who under pressure has to first time it away Johnson able to turn the ball over in favor of Angel City and then she's tripped up from behind by nelli faras what you're seeing from Angel City is is ma dropping back onto the outside left back and we see Katie Johnson driving in going on V one and just getting tug down from behind what I was saying is you see M Madison Curry slide in into the back next to Megan Reed those are situations you might have come up so now you're testing those formations out Gordon is out you have Curry that's so versatile in the back and you were asking me the question what do you do when you're up S nothing you you mess around with things for situations that might happen in the future this might be one of those opportunities Magie Dy Howard standing over the free kick right on about 35 yds out from the FC quad's goal numbers lined up at the back post service was a good one just nobody there Spencer trying to keep it alive maybe a shout for a hand ball there but probably not when it's 70 I was going to say call call a foul a foul but Hing out and it'sit a friendly in 7 n i mean it's a m it's a m but it's 7 n there's jell FES actually from right south of here Santa Ana Orange County played collegiately at UC Irvine as well as New [Applause] Mexico here's Megan Reed you know when I think about the depth sasia going forward for this season in 2024 it really comes especially with players getting healthy that foul will go against Sydney Laro across all lines you've got plenty in in terms of your back four different combinations of outside backs if you move Jasmine Spencer into a Midfield role you've got a ton of players especially if you're green ktie Zam into the fold you mentioned jezelle Thompson she can play in a number of different positions in the top three at a left back and here showl [Applause] Jasmine Spencer the veteran New York native always solid not just defending but her ability to step forward into that attacking third and it's good to see Jazelle Thompson on the field and with the call up to the youth Women's National [Music] [Applause] Team but yes it's the versatility within your depth is what's so important and what Angel City is showing and and they've had to adapt to that simply because of injuries but to have players that really can play anywhere and many of them is so huge and it's got them through the season and now with 99.9% of your team healthy now you can really put together the lineups that you want first corner of the night for FC Waters and it comes here as we tick into the final 20 minutes on the night driven on toward the penalty spot laru always strong in the air no matter what side of the field it's on she heads it away lilana marado providing the service and now back here for Santa and Morales the [Music] goalkeeper Morales actually started the last two matches in apertura play including Friday night's loss against monter and from a goalkeeper's perspective whether Morales started the first half or not I still think we're looking at [Music] 7 other than the other than the drop on the redirection on the corner kick there really wer no major goalkeeper errors to lead to those goals it to Angel City a little bit of positioning but it's not drop balls that led to goals or or pares or or anything like that or bad distribution it was just Angel City scored some nice goals execution from Angel City for sure Megan Reed with the inside track to knock it back to Anderson coly and calmly finds m venola and now Elizabeth Eddie you have to think some of the players that have had the chance to come on here throughout the course of this second half they want to get in on the scoring act as well you think Elizabeth Eddie doesn't want with gazelle Thompson but you still with that being said you still have to exe execute your plan yes you want to score you know that you know the second goalkeepers come in maybe we let some but sometimes that be a detriment to the Style and what you're trying to look goals are goals and it's great to score them but still stick with your game tackle into the back of Sydney Laro from Annie Mahia if that makes sense because I'm sure are like Sask what are you talking about go score a goal go score a goal no but as we as we said at the onset we take a look at that foul from Mahia on the back she just Clips 100% of Sydney Laro ankles gets none of the ball we spoke about it at the opening part of our broadcast saying that Becky tweet had some objectives that she wanted to achieve here tonight yes winning was part of that but it was the method to the madness if you will in getting to winning the game and how they played both sides of the ball how they organized defensively how they showed patience in possession those are just some of the things and working on their in their relationships in their zones between the midfielders between the forwards forwards and the outside backs and working on that [Music] perfecting ball goes out on the far side could not keep it in and so Angel City will toss it back in and what I like is here the change up and the versatility between jizelle Thompson and EM venol they are swapping full sides of the field when they feel like it and through the Run of play and it's keeping Warz on their toes now a chance open and transition here for wz curry though great recovery at least to tackle it away for a moment from asanta and the Gan will let it run out of play for a second corner on the night here with the Liga amaki feminal side and what you saw there was em venola get caught in transition pushing forward as the ball got clipped so then it was a 2v one but that ball rolled into space Curry doing a great job defensively to come over and slide even though it went out of bounds for a corner second time Marcato will serve from the corner this one toward the penalty spot and the same result it's Sydney Laro who wins the initial ball Eddie trying to challenge for it it'll come back out wide for makato first time in and there's Elizabeth Eddie to win it back got a piece of [Music] madoo so now a free kick opportunity these are all great situations in a sense for Angel City to have to face and be it gives them the training and practice how are they going to deal with this how will they deal with it next week facing San Diego Mado delivers one more time laru every time defensively on the end and Elizabeth Eddie will clear so that Angel City can find their shape [Applause] defensively Curry to challenge May Dary Howard Brave to put her head down there in the longdistance shot off of the right foot of cetes will go wide I actually like that play by Eddie because recognizing that Angel City been kind of stuck in their half for a few minutes corner kick everything free kick and stuff and so we've got to get our shape back we've got to get out realizing that nobody's in front of her nowhere's for let me dump this at least get everybody out of the 18 and resituate themselves that's a veteran move it led to this possession now forward for Katie Johnson who just tries to swing it first time for Elizabeth Eddie pushed out a play on the far side for an Ang City [Music] [Music] throw concern [Music] there the Zambian pra chilua [Music] just going to see Eddie come in it's just boot on top of boot that never feels good when you get studs on top of your foot but it looks like she's walked it off positive touch inside from [Music] binola Laro trying to time the overlap there [Music] [Music] don't forget fans as we're into the 78th minute here 10 games remaining in the nwsl regular season beginning next week down in San Diego against the wave for Angel City some changes for San Diego yes but then you got back-to-back games here at home on September the and September the 9th first hosting Chicago red stars and then Seattle rain FC coming to town Landon Donovan taking over the RS some controversy there depending on who you are which side you stand on yep well take a look at this foul right here leading just going to saw get [Music] sandwiched a little bit of controversy yeah that was uh Jasmine CES s there in between a couple of acfc players yeah I was just going to say just to put a bow tie on that part of the the conversation it just I even saw many San Diego wave fan saying this it just doesn't make sense that you had Casey Stony as your head coach and you signed her to a new deal and you just send her send her walking yeah I think there are a lot of questions be answered like you said to put put a bow tie on that I think you know Landon Donovan for all he's done and he's a he has been a great coach with the San Diego loyal before they disbanded it and everything but he hasn't had any touch with women's with the nwsl here's ktie Johnson with a great first touch into space Eddie making the Run instead it's Johnson all the way through got caught up in some traffic still looking for the opening and sends it just wide of the near post maybe a little selfish from Katie Johnson there but she wanted to get in on the ACT and so this to my point decision making yes you want to get in on the ACT and you want to get in and score but when you watch Johnson Drive in right here the play is a slotted ball to Elizabeth Eddie three dribbles earlier instead Johnson has three players collapse around her and loses the ball and then gets the ball back but really has no shot so that's what I was referring to as still make the right decisions even though you want to and get on the score sheet the right decision was it here on D Zone we've got some exciting leagues kicking off soon including the dfb poal starting in August the 20th fren Bundesliga starting August the 30th and we're also the global home of Liga MX feminal which gets underway in early September we cannot wait register for free at dzone.com women's football for access to live and On Demand matches in select territories so many leagues so many women's leags all of it the access the access across the board to it's amazing I mean I had to I had to play in Japan Pro cuz there was nothing here and then we started a wsa but it's just man it's such a great time to be a women's soccer player a fan [Applause] [Music] [Applause] indeed C Hamond chop down and a late [Applause] tackle that's exactly what you don't want to see on a night like tonight that's always a fear in the back of a coach's mind is that when a game is 7 n and you're up it can get kind of chippy and you don't want to see Reckless fouls you see that's a card and it's almost a red card to me because that's like cats up scissor kick and that's the danger sometimes in games like this it's gracea Santa who came in with that tackle right into the back of the ankles Hammond good news is the 26y old midfielder back up on her feet and Angel City back with the ball moving around the surface here at beo field [Applause] Jazelle Thompson several changes here in the second half for Becky [Applause] [Applause] [Music] tweet credit FC watz continuing to try and push to find something out of this match even though they haven't conceded here in the second half obviously the seven they conceded in the first half really could have been an opportunity to just fold up shop and not really try anything going forward but they have here is Johnson FL wide not a bad effort by Fair she got her left foot to it but sent it up and over the top of the farest goal and this is better by Johnson making that line up the middle and then realizing when the pass the pass was a little bit in the wrong spot while I was just lucky to get kind of the flick on M as that was through and on the fair but that's better timing this is what this game is for this is what these Subs are for to get your timing your minutes in and work with each other in a game situation and you just hope to see it all unfold in a very similar manner a week from tonight down in San Diego two teams that are really trying to make a push Fair one more time cutting it onto her right foot pushed away wide for vinola cutting into some space now lifting her chin good ball there to find jezelle Thompson the two outside backs combining but the ball turns over at the top of the 18 for a [Applause] moment Dy Howard first time from binola Nado caught on it inside of her own 18 pinched into a [Applause] [Music] [Applause] corner ma One More Time tough ball there for Hammond to handle had some heat on it Cado tripped up from behind and going back to your question about they haven't conceeded I do think that they Tweed a coup put in some new players that are working well together better together and that's what you take away from us you ask me what you do if you yourself with your fcrs you approach the second half it's as if it is z0 it's not but that's how you approach it yeah it hasn't been as lopsided in terms of possession in terms of chances you have to assume that's a little bit human nature Curry didn't play it firm all the way back for Anderson and that allows see Waters to get on [Music] ITA Fair didn't have much support as she tried to turn just inside of the Midfield line the drums still beating in the background and the fans thoroughly enjoying a warm Southern California evening summer begins to come to a close kids getting ready to go back to school this week I know m not but what a way to not only end this little summer window SAS with the summer Cup this International Friendly you've got all of your players including the newest edition ktie ZM coming into the [Music] fold and now you get ready for the final 10 games of nwsl's regular season and with so much momentum and on the front foot coming into these final 10 games having your whole team together the past 6 weeks it will pay off I think we're going to see that we're seeing it tonight that psychological piece that Becky Tweed referred to in our conversation earlier this week it also helps scoring seven goals in the first half and we're just going to see Kate Johnson just get the tug here click the back of the heel just a professional foul trying to slow slow down any forward movement from FC Warz if you're going to take a if you're going to make a foul this is the part of the field that you want to make one in and Katie Johnson goes into the book of our referee Alysa Nichols vinola [Music] battling last Touch by Ma [Music] a battle for it just on this near sideline Hammond Rola and she'll just send it back off towards Midfield Curry doing the rest of the work to clean things up but it's a throw here for FC Wades got looks some things as we're into the final few minutes these will be the 22 players that finish up this first half second half excuse me well Becky Tweed stayed true to what we had talked about her earlier in the week she has played every single player on the rots we were wondering if Hano was going to get in she did which you know as a goalkeeper I love that even your third goalkeeper got in I was going to say Sasuke there's not too many matches when you get three goalkeepers in and get some minutes but it's so important for off the field Dynamics as well as on the thefield back post ball headed Away by Thompson Santa able to keep it alive and now here for [Music] [Applause] [Music] maruia to the end line and a corner you have some big questions coming into the San Diego game you sure do what is the starting lineup going to be I bet I could guess nine of the 11 but I'm going to keep that to myself for now well you know what you write it and fact and text it to me I'll write it and text it to you play the game okay we'll see who's right but what a great problem to have coming into this half of the season and your your forwards are all firing in all cylinders everybody's scoring again only four regular season games left here at beo stadium so you got to get out here and join the fun near post ball headed Away by Laro but not the force contact back inside the 6-y box of Angelina Anderson here on the Zone the global home of women's football we've got some exciting new leagues kicking off soon with CDI commencing on the 30th of August ARA Premier League starting on the 21st of September and the Saudi Women's Premier League starting September the 27th fans can register for free at dzone.com Women's footb for access to live and On Demand matches in select territories huge thanks to our friends at the zone for helping us out put on this International Friendly here tonight Anderson slow to get to it she almost paided gazes to come in and Angelina gets the call against her nice strong Angelina just comes up catches through this ball you want to do that as a goalkeeper if you come in and trying to pull back that's when you bother the ball Fair maybe to add an eigh the ball pops loose and Morales falls on it inside her [Music] 18 so what I was saying about the Anderson save and the and the getting the foul there is that a lot of goalkeepers sometimes hesitate they they shy away from that or they'll come through and box the ball that is the full-time whistle for this one as expected no need for some second half stoppage time a top to tail whistle to whistle win with convincing fashion for Becky Tweed and I would say sasia just what the doctor ordered before you head back into regular season play in the nwsl I don't think agel City and Becky Tweed could have scripted a more perfect final game before getting back into the game against San Diego lots to think about this week lots to build on who's going to start Angel City FC with seven goals on the night so a lot of choices to choose from when you talk about play of the match but you know where we're going to go sasia we're going to take you all the way back to the opening minute 20 seconds in Messiah brigh opening her account with Angel City FC and with the little flick over the head is Kennedy Fuller then Messiah brigh just puts this away one of three hattrick on the night that your play of the match it got the party started tonight and Messiah brigh the 24-year-old with three goals in the first the ninth and the 36th minute she also added a couple of helpers here on the night she did it all in less than 40 minutes of action in the first half and it was all part of a seven goal explosion in the first half as well and that turns out to be your final score 7 nothing Angel City FC here tonight in Downtown LA as they take down FC hes in their final tuneup a little International Friendly here from La we'll come back and wrap it up [Music] next no and you made a mistake Eddie when you slide into my DM for another time asking about Johnny Fisher I was in shock that you will put the boy through this this is about the resurrection of the Savage you know and you made a mistake Eddie heard one question who's ready for a scrap in a copper BOS B oh big unleashes inside the seconds goes down bage surely can't continue the referee W it up the C B Scout is wild the body shot by to he hurt her he hurt cab and Cabrera takes a knee and that is it this one is waved off as Cabrera runs into the lightweight division's buzs saw and I love the fact that Joseph Parker is stains disciplined he's still big left hand yeah caught him against the ropes Wilder just leans back over that top rope and he's so vulnerable I understand that Deontay Wilder is the beal with that counter shot but at this stage you've got to be more offensive oriented because you're down big what an up is he waiting for Joseph Parker Sending shock waves through the heavyweight division it's now or never for Deontay Wilder now it's time for Parker to back up hands in the air soak it up move around the ring this is your sugar r moment cuz you shock the world and Joseph Parker the New Zealand man has just seemingly beaten the bronze bomber and did it in dominating fashion [Music] he [Music] on give me back on seven nothing the final here as an explosive first half that included two goals from our next guest here on Jone CLA emsley joining us from downstairs Mark rogano and SAS Weber here with you you know let's just talk about this match you guys had a lot of things Becky tweet told us he wanted to accomplish what would you say you guys accomplished in addition to obviously winning the match H yeah obviously we've struggled with goals H this season so to get so many today was amazing especially for the girls you know messiah's got her first goal and ended up getting a hattick so yeah it was great for h a bit of confidence and you know getting the feel in the back of the net Claire sasia here talk about the Advantage coming into this last half of the season the last 10 games but you guys during this break during the olypic break have been able to stick together as a team and train together how do you think that'll factor in yeah I think we've learned a lot and jaed as a team the last six weeks and not having really missing anyone has been great to be honest and I think you know obviously we wish we had players that would go to the Olympics but we're like this is our situation we're together so we need to make the most of this time so yeah we've had the time to actually work on a lot of stuff where is during the season it's just kind of recover game recover game so yeah it's nice that we're H seeing some results which is important going into the next half CLA I'm going to ask you about that second goal we just showed the video of it uh a moment ago on on our coverage here on D Zone it looked like maybe because you had that free kick earlier just moments before that where you picked out Kristen press on the back Post run the next one a little bit closer and I think you caught rata Maselli maybe cheating just just a little bit did you see that that she was kind of tilted over to the far side and by the way your good friend Katie ZM she said she taught you that she's lying for one lying for one I've been practicing the free kicks and yeah I thought if I managed to get this over the wall and back down it's got a chance of going in and yeah I was buzzing to see it h the back of the net oh it was a bit of Brilliance for sure for your second of the night and part of those seven goals in the first half I guess last thing for you and it kind of follows up on what Sasuke asked you and that is the fact that what does it feel like inside the dressing room for this team because you're getting everybody back healthy you're adding some pieces and as you see Messiah brigh salute some of the friends but a chance for this stretch run here through the final 10 games what does it feel like inside the locker room yeah it's good our our team uh is full of great girls great people and yeah the most important thing is people being healthy and having them back is is important our biggest strength is our togetherness so yeah it's I love this team and the ghos are brilliant well then we don't want to keep you any longer we appreciate you stopping through they're all getting together over there in the 18 yard box to your right get down there and celebrate the seven nothing win thanks CLA thank you that's Claire emley she had two of the seven on the night there is Messiah brigh she is our player of the match she had three her first three in an Angel City FC shirt and without question not only is she going to remember this night but it could very well be a spark saskia for big things to come in the next few months and we've been talking about when that sparkk when that breakthrough is going to happen tonight could have been the night we'll take you back to that opening minute of play and that's when Messiah brigh found her first of three and you're going to see this ball pop right into Kennedy Fuller who does this this cheeky move over the shoulder Messiah bright just opens up the hips and puts it through dunks it in over the top and then it was another first timer Megan Reed right spot right time and Megan Reed always seems to be hovering around that penalty spot we see Mah Bri with the cut back and then the ball bounces right back to her and again inside of the foot the wherewithal to actually see the positioning of the goalkeeper and dunk that in over the top soft little touch to make it 3- nil Alysa Thompson in one-on-one taken down and a point to the spot from referee Alysa Nichols and this is just pure Pace that beats the keeper it's a great PK by Alyssa Thompson so it's 4-0 here's the interchange the one we just spoke to Claire emley put the first of her two and this drawing the defense Deep by Messiah Bri getting the touch it and then emley with the worldy on the free kick Upper 90 not done yet Messiah Bri completing the hattick yeah and you've got Reed heading the ball exactly where you're supposed to head it down into the mix creating something look at that from Clare emley to cap the first half scoring 7 nothing your final just putting an exclamation point on it and putting on a dazzling display here tonight for the the fans that showed up for this International Friendly inside of beo Stadium a week from now remember it'll be heading to San Diego to get back into nwsl play Let's go back downstairs as we're joined by the head coach Becky Tweed Becky I know you're pleased with seven goals but maybe outside of those types of numbers what were you most pleased with what stuck out for you tonight in this performance yeah I think obviously seven goals is important um and I think it's seven good goals I think we can look every single one of them and say that you know they were they were good finishers they were good team player I think the first half we were really really unselfish um and just some really good moments I think obviously uh both teams made a lot of subs and that makes this game really difficult with momentum um but we've got to take this move forward inand Bell with this positive result and a clean sheet which I think is also huge Becky Messiah bright huge tonight lot of assist the assist to Emy was just spot on we talked about in our call drawing that defense because they do Mark man a man coming into the space she did that laid it off but talk about messiah's performance and how that'll impact your decisions moving forward yeah I think for messiah it's just about confidence and getting fit and getting minutes and scoring goals and and that's what she did tonight I think three goals in 35 minutes three really good goals an assist um and just overall a really good positive performance from her so yeah I think obviously you know you want to have hard decisions to make as a coach and um these players are definitely making it hard for me so I think that's obviously a positive as well yeah Sasuke and I were discussing it throughout the entire night about how you're going to have some tough decisions to make I confidence was one of the buzz words we spoke with you about earlier this week and I want to leave you with with this and this this question Sasuke's got one more uh how do you take this Confidence from a game like this and have it translate seven days from now not just when you step on the field against San Diego but for this stretch run of 10 games in League Play yeah I think we just have to look at what worked for us tonight like why were we so successful in front of goal I think when I looked up at the scoreboard we'd had five shots and scored five goals and that's something we've been struggling with is the final pass or hitting the Target and it doesn't matter who you're playing against five shots five goals is an incredible stat and we've got to move forward with that for sure coach you said that you wanted the team to play with freedom and with joy and that was evident tonight thank you coach good good game thank you that's Becky TW the head coach for Angel City go enjoy this one coach that's going to do it for our coverage tonight here on D Zone what a fantastic night for Angel City FC and their fans that made it here to beo Stadium three from Messiah brigh two from Clare emley Alysa Thompson opening
