Portland Thorns fall 3-1 to Bay FC 8/30

on this Friday night Bay right at the playoff line Portland trying to strive into the top four it's the Thorns taking on Bay FC and it's on Prime Dorian Bailey Corner ball clipped along fell toward oalla comes High to daco Milan hangs it up over bod backside Bailey he lifted and headed in oh wow and Abby doll keer makes an immediate statement in a b [Applause] hit what a start for Bay ATC on the road well well way to keep this alive well done Abid do camper first start for bayc it was interesting because it looked like Bailey actually it looked like it was going in in the initial play we'll have to have a look here now Abby do cam is her goal all day long great willingness way to keep it alive and puts it in on that far post one- nil Bay FC and I think they deserve that I think in these opening minutes they've had a lot of pressure down this right hand side Capri tid asco's got down there t bod's got down there and fair play to Abby do camper she said how happy she was to be part of this franchise and this organization she feels like she's finally home and then she gets a goal in her what a moment for do keer third pick in what's now a defunct mechanism the nwsl draft back in 2015 [Music] drops in spaner arrives enters into the area spaner pulls back Smith High for coffee simple for Rolland and I think it's been a really good addition to his Portland Thorns Team B of Bixby out on maternity Shelby Hogan eight clean sheets all comps be on the bench for the moment kundi breaks through rips it all the way across hell is there hell is scored B doubles their money 18 minutes in and this will drop your jaw what a goal what a run from kundi I've been quite critical of the fact that kundi hasn't scored anywhere near as many goals as she should have but she's caused so many problems down this left hand side and I said it before my look at her when she wants once she gets going but it's about the quality of the ball puts it on a plate for Rachel Hill and Rachel Hill isn't known for her goal scoring she's known for her work R she'll do anything for this coach any coach she plays for she'll run for a brick wall but look at this play from kundan anji Fantastic ball in and Rao it's a gift Raina Rees has no chance of that back post and I did not see this one coming at all Hills first for Bay FC to be reckon with ball long down the field there's a swalla lines up Hubley plays early flick didn't go B knocked out by Arnold and kept off the line out for a [Applause] throw Smith spins free of Bailey Smith Smith Roland denies the returning Olympic gold medalist Game Changer anbg has been the best goalkeeper in the league came into this league seamlessly over from Chelsea and she's been a great addition to the go MFC team hardly the only change Portland made during this window as well take a look at a couple of the players out this trouble taken away by Smith Smith puts it in a Solo mission to bring Portland back an early golden moment for the gold medalist two goals to one Caitlyn Roland knows you cannot keep the ball like that we spoke about goalkeepers sing on the ball a lot having to play out moments ago spoke about how important the goalkeepers are in this league being able to almost become that second C second or third Center back see here everything's calm Caitlyn Rand takes one touch tries to play out Abid DOA goes back and then it's just that it's poor in the end then you cannot give any player in this league that type of ball let alone Sophia Smith and this changes everything now I said if they went to three or four then it would be game over but that type of gift Sophia Smith still has a lot to do cait R tries to recover but good composure from safia Smith and it's 2-1 that's as easy as it gets for Sophia Smith goal number 11 of the SE a goal moment to go Sophia Smith right at Roland pierced through the wall and Roland didn't Flinch as best friends it's fantastic Story play through Smith Smith is there Smith has a stu across spam exra all that do all together again sweet as ever 22 watch Smith upper left of your screen I think that's very very tight [Music] Milan son got there on the other end sag cleaned her off ball to the backside excellent save Arnold turns away kund Banji and then it's slid out over the end line and had any type of structure when she was 17 that's so late so having to coach her think she's a joy to watch she has speed revelatory for Houston last year incredibly not nearly enough revelatory moments for the dash this season that's a story for another time Portland flying to the top of the 18 and last it Fram sent Away by Roland Alexa spaner trying to make the right impression on this Portland crowd because you ultimately want to fit everybody in but it's about chemistry and it's about the dynamic and I spoke about that three in the Midfield you know it just doesn't work Hill leads it along shot across and in there's the third for Bay what a night for Bay FC in [Applause] [Music] Portland Joelle Anderson comes into this game backs are third of the season for AFC and this is a shocker talk about instant impact impact it's a really poor giveaway from Hubley I think she's done a relatively good job on oshaa in this game she's been quite quiet you see one touch out of Anderson's feet could McKenzie Arnold maybe have done a bit better I think TB does really well here to play Rachel Hill Anderson sees that window of opportunity no mcken has no chance and I did say the Poland Thorns were still given opportunity to Bay FC about if they took him Anderson's come into this game and had an instant impact what I say she was a revelation it's a really good strike really good strike with the left Bay Stands Tall one last time it's the biggest win of their expansion season Abby do keer a goal in her debut Roland and Bay respond to adversity again tonight
