Welcome to your match thread as the Orlando Pride (4-5-6, 18 points) take on NJ/NY Gotham FC (4-10-0, 12 points) at Subaru Park in Chester, PA. This is the fourth time these two teams will play this season and the second in the NWSL regular season.

Here’s all you need to know about tonight’s game.

History

The Pride have faced Gotham since 2016, back when the New York area club was called Sky Blue FC. They’ve played each season except 2020, when the regular season was canceled due to the global pandemic. In all competitions, the teams have met 18 times, with the Pride going 6-7-5. However, the Pride are 6-5-4 against Gotham in league games and 3-2-2 in league meetings on the road.

The most recent game between the Pride and Gotham was the first game of the regular season on May 1 at Exploria Stadium. This game was all Gotham as McCall Zerboni, Midge Purce, and Kristie Mewis lifted the visitors to a commanding 3-0 victory.

The two teams were also matched up in the 2022 NWSL Challenge Cup, playing twice before the regular season began. The first game was on March 30 at Exploria Stadium. The game appeared to be headed for a draw, but Ellie Jean sent Purce through in the 87th minute, resulting in the game’s only goal. They met again at Red Bull Arena on April 23 to end the Challenge Cup. The Pride took an early lead through Gunny Jonsdottir, but Mewis answered just before halftime as the teams drew 1-1.

The two teams also played four times last year, with three coming in the regular season. The first meeting in 2021 was in the Challenge Cup on April 20 in Orlando. Paige Monaghan scored the only goal in the 79th minute as Gotham took all three points.

The two teams faced off in the 2021 regular season on June 20 in Orlando. Caprice Dydasco gave the visitors the lead just before halftime but Courtney Petersen answered in the 90th minute, resulting in a 1-1 draw. They met again on Aug. 29 at Red Bull Arena. Erika Tymrak’s 49th-minute strike from long distance was the only goal in this game as the Pride won 1-0. The final meeting in 2021 was on Oct. 9 in Orlando. Gotham took a 3-0 lead with a goal by Purce and a brace by Gaetane Thiney. The Pride tried to come back late with goals by Tymrak and a Marta penalty inside the last 10 minutes, but it wasn’t enough as Gotham won 3-2.

The two teams played three times in 2019, the last season the Pride faced the club known as Sky Blue FC. They first met on June 22 in New Jersey. Chioma Ubogagu gave the Pride a 1-0 lead with a 32nd-minute penalty conversion but Sarah Killion answered in the 32nd minute. The difference in the game was a 81st-minute own goal by Gina Lewandowski as the Pride won 2-1 away. They met again nearly a month later on July 20 in Orlando. Marisa Viggiano scored the only goal in that one as the Pride won 1-0. The final game was on Sept. 29 in New Jersey. Shelina Zadorsky gave the Pride the early lead in the 18th minute, but Carli Lloyd scored in the 88th minute to pull out a 1-1 draw.

The Pride and Sky Blue FC played three times in 2018. The first meeting was on June 16 in Orlando. Sydney Leroux scored a brace but it was Rachel Hill’s 83rd-minute goal that was the difference as the Pride won 3-2. They met again in Orlando on Aug. 5. Three goals were scored in eight minutes after halftime, but two were by Sky Blue. Fortunately, Dani Weatherholt scored an equalizer in the 73rd minute and the teams drew 2-2. The two teams ended the 2018 regular season against each other on Sept. 8 in New Jersey. Carli Lloyd scored the game’s only goal in the 74th minute as the hosts won 1-0.

The first of three 2017 meetings between the two teams came on May 27 in New Jersey. The Pride took the lead in the 18th minute through Jasmyne Spencer, but Sam Kerr and Maya Hayes responded to beat the Pride 2-1. They played again on June 28 in New Jersey. The Pride took an early lead again when Ubogagu struck in the 11th minute. Kelley O’Hara and Kerr then struck on either side of halftime to give the hosts the lead. But this time, the Pride came back with late goals by Marta and Hill to win 3-2. The final meeting in 2017 was on Aug. 12 in Orlando. This one was all Pride as braces by Alex Morgan and Marta lifted the Pride to a 5-0 win.

The first year that the two teams played was in 2016 — the Pride’s inaugural season. The games were back-to-back and within three days of each other. On Sept. 7 in New Jersey, Morgan gave the Pride the lead in the 23rd minute but Sam Kerr equalized 10 minutes from time and the teams drew 1-1. The return game was on Sept. 10 in Orlando and again the Pride led, but this time through Kristen Edmonds. However, Sky Blue FC scored twice in the second half to win 2-1.

Overview

The Pride come into this game playing their best soccer of the year. The team is currently on a six-game unbeaten run (2-0-4) dating back to the team’s 2-2 draw against Racing Louisville in Daytona on July 3. The most recent game for the Pride saw the team end a three-game run of draws by defeating San Diego Wave FC 1-0. The difference was a 23rd-minute penalty conversion by Meggie Dougherty Howard following a handball in the box.

Despite the recent success, the Pride are still in the middle of a significant rebuild, resulting in several veterans departing the club. The lack of players coming in has been a sore spot among the fan base, but General Manager Ian Fleming signed two new players this week in Ally Watt from OL Reign and Haley Hanson from the Houston Dash, with both deals seeing Allocation Money going the other way.

Tonight, the Pride face a Gotham team that has struggled this season. After trading for former Pride leaders Ashlyn Harris and Ali Krieger in the off-season, the team was expected to be a contender. But Gotham has lost five-straight games, resulting in the team sitting near the bottom of the NWSL standings.

To be fair to tonight’s opponent, four of the five losses have come away from home, including the last three. This game begins a four-game homestand for Gotham (although the match is in Chester, PA) as the hosts look to get their season back on track against a young Pride team.

Gotham is led by Purce, who has three goals and two assists in the regular season. The other players scoring multiple goals are those you would expect, including Monaghan, Taylor Smith, and Zerboni, all with three goals. The team also features the dangerous Mewis, but she missed some games this year while with the U.S. Women’s National Team.

It’s been a tough season by all accounts for Gotham. The team has scored a league-low 11 goals this season and conceded a league-high 30 goals — tied with the Pride. They’ve given up 17 of those 30 goals in their last five games.

“(Gotham FC) are a good team. They have some good players and we have to be aware of that,” Pride Interim Head Coach Seb Hines said about tonight’s opponent. “Every week there are so many problems that teams can cause us and we have to prepare as best as we can to get a performance away from home.”

This game will have a different setting, as the teams will face off at Subaru Park in Chester, PA, home of the Philadelphia Union of MLS. Gotham played a game there last year as a send-off for Carli Lloyd, who grew up in the Philadelphia area. This is the only NWSL game scheduled to be played at Subaru Park this season.

While Marta (knee) and Parker Roberts (foot) remain out of action, Carrie Lawrence and Abi Kim are off the injury report for tonight’s game. However, Darian Jenkins (knee) and Anna Moorhouse (hand) are both out against Gotham.

Gotham’s injury list remains unchanged. Only Allie Long (maternity leave) and Domi Richardson (knee) are listed as out for tonight.

Orlando Pride vs. Bay FC: Final Score 3-1 as Banda Brace Leads Pride to Victory

Barbra Banda bags a brace and an assist but goes down injured late in the victory.

After dropping two games to expansion teams and stealing a win in San Diego, the Orlando Pride looked to enter the summer break on a good note. The Pride (5-5-2, 17 points) had never lost to Bay FC (3-6-2, 11 points) and used a second-half burst to maintain that winning record and won 3-1 at Inter&Co Stadium.

Barbra Banda opened the scoring in the fourth minute and followed it up in the 51st minute with her second. She added an assist to Cori Dyke in the 55th minute to close out the Pride scoring. Caroline Conti scored the lone Bay FC goal at the seven-minute mark.

“No better gift than a 3-1 victory at home in front of our fans,” Pride Head Coach (and birthday boy) Seb Hines said after the game. “It feels good that we’re ending this period on a high. I think it’s the first time this season we’ve got back-to-back victories.”

The Pride made one change in the lineup, giving Kerry Abello her first start of the season over Julie Doyle. Anna Moorhouse started in goal with Abello, Rafaelle, Cori Dyke, and Oihane on defense. Haley McCutcheon and Ally Lemos played midfield in front of them with Mace, Luana, and Nicole Payne attacking from the midfield. Banda and her leading-leading nine goals played alone up top.

After an hour weather delay, the Pride went with the in-vogue start these days by kicking the ball straight out of bounds deep on the start and pressing high. It led to an opening three minutes of play in which the Pride kept the pressure up and forced the ball to stay on the Bay FC side. In the fourth minute, Luana headed a ball towards the center which Banda controlled, bodied Bay FC’s Joelle Anderson off the ball, and slotted the opening goal with her left foot.

Bay FC fought right back in the seventh minute as the visitors didn’t have to fight through the press off their kickoff. Claire Hutton crossed the ball into the box, Abello deflected it wide but there was no Pride defender there and it fell to Caroline Conti. Abello tried to fight all the way over but Conti was able to put it past Moorhouse before any help arrived.

The entire back line got pulled to the right on the play and Mace could not get back to help out wide.

“Hailie Mace came into NWSL as a winger. She’s got some tendencies that fit a winger profile. We knew Bay FC had a high back line. How do we get behind that back line? Having someone to support Barbra and not just Nicole but add in another player who can get into the attack,” Hines said regarding the switch.

In the 16th minute, Rachael Kundananji beat Oihane and crossed the ball to Hannah Bebar, who headed it into the net, but Cristiana Girelli was in an offside position threatening the goal, so the assistant referee ruled that it put Moorhouse off enough to interfere with the play.

The teams settled down a bit and traded possession until the 27th minute when Oihane centered the ball to Payne, who scuffed the shot high. One minute later, Luana sent a through ball for Banda to run onto and she went down in the box in a collision with Brooklyn Courtnall. It was fairly evident, however, that Banda got her leg into Courtnall’s to either try to control the ball or draw a foul, and the referee, Jaclyn Metz, saw it the same way.

In the 33rd minute, Oihane was subbed out for Hannah Anderson. Oihane had been laboring a little and may have picked up a knock somewhere.

The Pride couldn’t re-establish the high press so they turned into a lot of possession by Bay FC. Any attack by the Pride ended in a turnover off a bad pass or ill-conceived long shots as Orlando’s attackers were impatient in building play. Turnover after turnover plagued the Pride for the remainder of the half as they did not threaten at all until the 45th minute, when Banda took on Maddie Moreau and Kundananji, shook them both loose, and then crossed the ball into an empty area at the back post with no one to finish.

It was a fitting final piece of sound and fury, signifying nothing, as the half wrapped without any plays of interest. The Pride weren’t able to lead any of the statistics, tying Bay FC in shots (4-4), while Bay FC led in shots on target (3-1), possession (53%-47%), and passing accuracy (85%-83%). Neither team was able to force a corner in the first half.

To start the second half, Hines subbed in Summer Yates for Abello, which pushed Mace back to the back line. In the 48th minute, Kundananji got behind when Anderson got caught out and was sizing up a one-on-one with Moorhouse. Dyke hustled back and blocked the shot.

“We started the game super strong, super intense, but I think we fell off towards the end of that first half,” Dyke said. “We got a little too stretched between the lines and weren’t getting enough pressure on the ball and we talked about that at halftime. We needed to stay more compact and then pick our moments to go.”

Go they did. Three minutes later, Yates sent a through ball angled behind Banda which allowed her to run onto the ball unopposed. She beat goalkeeper Emmie Allen, who came out of the box aggressively to defend, and then passed the ball into the net in the 51st minute.

Four minutes later, Banda pressured Allen, forcing the goalkeeper into a clearance out of play. On the ensuing throw-in, Banda held off Bebar in the box, spun, and crossed the ball to Dyke, who put the ball in off the crossbar. The ability of the Pride to retain possession and work the ball in against a lesser opponent opened up the scoring and turned the game on its head.

Bay FC didn’t have a lot to do over the next stretch of time and Taylor Huff went down with an injury in the 61st minute, prompting a change as she was subbed out for Karlie Lema. Dorian Bailey came on for Joelle Anderson in the same stoppage but at the 62nd minute.

The teams went back and forth for a bit until the Pride drew a corner in the 71st minute. It deflected off a Bay FC defender and fell to Rafaelle at the far post, who headed it just wide. Three minutes later, Jacquie Ovalle and Zara Chavoshi wrapped up the Pride substitutions by coming in for Payne and Mace. Bay FC also took the stoppage in the 74th minute to sub two players in, bringing on Keria Barry and Onyeka Gamero for Kundananji and Girelli.

Unfortunately, in the 81st minute, Banda was dribbling down the left side when she pulled up lame and went to the ground off the pitch. She stayed there until tended to and was obviously upset. We’ll have to wait for any injury news on her. Bay FC made its final substitution in the ensuing stoppage in the 82nd minute, bringing on Kelli Hubly for Conti.

The injury to Banda left the Pride playing with only 10 players for the remaining 15 minutes (including added time) due to using up all three substitution windows. They stayed fairly solid in defense and played a lot of keep-away ball to see out the victory while playing short.

“A great way to finish this part of the season with a win at home. I think we were consistent today and we took the chances we created,” Luana said. “We’ve been having highs and lows in this part of the season but we bounced back in these two wins and it brought us a lot of confidence.”

Orlando City was ahead in the only stat that matters, goals, but trailed in every other major stat. Bay FC finished ahead in shots (14-8), shots on target (5-4), possession (54%-46%), passing accuracy (85%-84%), and corners (4-1).


The Orlando Pride now will be off until early July for the NWSL World Cup break. The next match is scheduled for July 3 in Los Angeles against Angel City FC.

The Pride return home to face Bay FC in their final game before the FIFA World Cup break.

Welcome to your preview and match thread as the Orlando Pride (4-5-2, 14 points) return home from a three-game road trip to take on Bay FC (3-5-2, 11 points). This is the first of two meetings between the two teams with the return game scheduled for Sept. 27 in San Jose.

Here’s everything you need to know about tonight’s game.

History

Bay FC is one of two expansion teams that entered the NWSL for the 2024 season. The teams have met four times, with the Pride holding a 3-0-1 record and a 1-0-1 mark at home in the series.

The most recent meeting took place on Sept. 13, 2025, in Orlando. The visitors took the lead just before halftime when Racheal Kundananji headed in a long pass by Caprice Dydasco. The Pride equalized in the second half, when Ally Watt headed a Jacquie Ovalle cross past Jordan Silkowitz to claim a 1-1 draw.

On June 13 of last year in San Jose, CA, Bay FC led almost every statistical category, but the Pride defense held strong until Barbra Banda scored shortly after halftime. The Pride withstood attack after attack, coming away with a hard-fought 1-0 win.

The teams met twice in 2024, with the first-ever game between the clubs occurring on May 11. Just prior to the half-hour mark, Banda dribbled inside and Deyna Castellanos attempted an ill-advised challenge, resulting in a foul in the box and a Pride penalty. Adriana put the ball into the bottom left corner for the only goal, lifting the Pride to a 1-0 win. It was the sixth win in an NWSL-record, eight-game win streak.

The teams met for the second time on Sept. 20, 2024. It looked like the game might be headed for a scoreless draw until Banda got her head on the end of a Carson Pickett cross, redirecting it past Katelyn Rowland to give the Pride the 1-0 win.

Overview

The Pride return home tonight after a difficult road trip that saw the team fall 2-1 to Boston Legacy FC and 3-1 to Denver Summit FC. Having already lost to both expansion teams, they headed west to face San Diego Wave FC, a team near the top of the standings. But Nicole Payne’s first professional goal lifted Orlando to a 1-0 win.

Despite not scoring in two of the last three games, Banda still leads the league with nine goals in 10 games this season. She has a two-goal lead on Ashley Sanchez, who is second in the league. Haley McCutcheon is the only other Pride player with multiple goals, scoring twice in the same game. Ovalle, Marta, and Hannah Anderson have the team’s other three goals. The assists have been spread out much more evenly with Ovalle, McCutcheon, and Rafaelle all sharing the team lead with two.

The clean sheet against San Diego was big for the back line as the team has conceded too many goals recently. Dating back to their 3-2 loss to Racing Louisville FC on April 24, the Pride have conceded multiple goals in four of the last six games. The only other game in which they didn’t concede at least twice was a 1-0 win over the North Carolina Courage on May 8, their last home game.

Tonight is the Pride’s last game before the league breaks for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. After the game, they won’t play again until July 3 and won’t play at home until July 10. That makes getting a quality result tonight essential for momentum going through the remainder of the season.

If you’re looking for a team to win against, Bay FC is one of the most likely candidates. The Bay -area side sits 13th in the NWSL on 11 points, just four points ahead of Louisville for last place. Tonight’s visitors are currently on a four-game winless run (0-2-2) and a two-game losing streak. Their last win was a 1-0 victory against San Diego on May 3. The club’s most recent games are a 2-0 loss to Portland Thorns FC on May 20 and a 1-0 loss to Chicago Stars FC on May 24.

Bay FC has struggled this year on both ends of the field. Its eight goals are second fewest in the league and Bay is one of three teams with single-digit goals this year. Meanwhile, the team’s 14 goals conceded are sixth in the league. The California side has been better defensively overall than the Pride, who have conceded 16 goals, but worse offensively, as the Pride have scored 15 goals so far this year.

Bay FC has been led in the attack by Alex Pfeiffer and Dorian Bailey with two goals each. Kundananji, Taylor Huff, Keira Barry, and Joelle Anderson have one apiece. Pfeiffer also leads the team in assists with two, tied with Cristina Girelli. Huff and Sydney Collins are the only other players with assists this season.

It should help the Pride tonight that Bay FC will be missing two key players. Silkowitz and starting center back Aldana Cometti were sent off against Chicago Sunday, meaning they’ll miss tonight’s game.

However, the Pride have their own key absences. In addition to injuries that have accumulated this season, Angelina was handed an additional game’s suspension after being sent off on May 16 for pulling Delanie Sheehan’s hair.

“We’re looking forward to it. Looking forward to being back home,” Pride Head Coach Seb Hines said about tonight’s game. “It’s been a long road trip. Excited to get in front of our own fans. Want to create that atmosphere, make it hostile for Bay FC. We know it’s a quick turnaround for both teams as well, so we want to make sure that we start off on the front foot, build on what we achieved last Sunday in San Diego, and finish this part of the season on a high.”

The Pride will be without Angelina (suspension), Cosette Morche (ankle), Kylie Nadaner (maternity leave), Viviana Villacorta (knee), and Solai Washington (knee). Marta (thigh) and Ovalle (thigh) are listed as questionable. Bay FC will be without Cornetti (suspension), Abby Dahlkemper (maternity leave), Anouk Denton (lower leg), Dydasco (maternity leave), Heather Gilchrist (knee), Alyssa Malonson (knee), Emily Menges (maternity leave), Pfeiffer (knee), and Silkowitz (suspension).

Orlando Pride vs. Bay FC: Three Keys to Victory

What do the Pride need to do to earn all three points against Bay FC?

Published

The Orlando Pride welcome Bay FC to Inter&Co Stadium this Friday night for the last match before the World Cup break. This is an opportunity to get a win over a team lower in the table and move up in the standings. What must the Pride do to earn all three points against Bay FC this weekend?

Keep the Chip

I have been asking all season on SkoPurp Soccer: An Orlando Pride PawedCast for the Pride to play with the chip on their shoulder that they had when they won the double in 2024. We saw that against the San Diego Wave. My hope is that the players have now remembered what that feels like and will execute with the same level of intensity going forward.

The task is potentially a little easier against Bay FC, as the California-based side has scored less than half the number of goals that the Wave have this season. Of course, that is the trap. The Pride cannot slack off against Bay FC. Having Rafaelle anchoring the defense is a big help, and moving Hailie Mace out to right back has proven effective. In 2024, this team hated — with a capital “H” — conceding goals. They took it personally. That is the passion I want again. The chip on the shoulder.

Overwhelm and Outscore

As I mentioned above, Bay FC is not a prolific scoring team. Friday’s visitors have also given up 14 goals this season. That’s not the best or the worst in the league, but they haven’t faced Barbra Banda yet. The Orlando Pride don’t have any trouble creating chances, but they have had trouble getting anyone other than Banda to finish them this season. Banda leads the league in goals, and she has an opportunity to maintain or extend that lead against Bay FC.

What will truly make the difference for the Pride against Bay FC is if any of the other players can contribute a goal. We saw the space that Banda can provide her teammates when Nicole Payne scored her first goal against San Diego. Now I want other players to take advantage of that space to provide some goals for the Pride.

More Luana

Luana got her first start since coming back to the squad cancer-free. I think we’ve forgotten that she was a starter on the 2024 squad before her Hodgkin’s lymphoma diagnosis. She was a starter on a team that won the double. Now she is back and she is a leader and an inspiration for her fellow players.

Given Marta’s limited minutes, having Luana out there as a stabilizing presence is important. Obviously, she brings a different skill set than Marta but still a critical one. Much like the defense, the midfield was better last match, and I feel she was a big part of that.


That is what I will be looking for on Friday night. The Pride can head into the World Cup break on a high with a victory. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below. Vamos Orlando!
