66' 2-1 Portland subs in (1 of 3) #9 Caitlin Foord for #23 Midge Purce. 66' 3-1 Foord to Sinclair. Good sub 68' 3-2 Zadorsky(?) challenges Foord at circle top, blocks ball ahead to Ubogagu unmarked at 33m box left. Ubogagu dribbles to arc top box left, taps down mid-left into Marta's stride, to 5m mid-left with 1/2 step lead on Brynjarsdóttir. Marta low shross to 2m 3-left, Menges stretches right foot and pops ball perfectly over Eckerstrom at left post. Deemed an own goal, even though Marta's shross was on-frame already? A look at the second tally created by @ChiAlreadyKnow and Marta. 👌#PORvORL | #VamosOrlando pic.twitter.com/0E8BoA9mTn— Orlando Pride (@ORLPride) July 14, 2019
69' 3-2 Yellow card on Greening 70' 3-2 Portland subs in (2 of 3) #34 Tyler Lussi for #21 Hayley Raso. 73' 3-2 Portland subs in (3 of 3) #30 Celeste Boureille for #27 Elizabeth Ball. 77' 3-2 Orlando subs in (2 of 3) #9 Camila for #15 Rachel Hill. 90' 3-3 Orlando fk, Greening to right low. +3'. 90+2' (of +3') 3-3 Yellow card on Elinsky 90+4' (of +3') 4-3 Klingenberg left ck, to 6-top right post. (Scripted ) trick play, Lussi stands motionless at 9m 1/4 right, Sinclair lurks at 12m right post, runs a decoy curl past Lussi, to 6-top 1/4 left, two defenders collide and both want to go with her. Lussi makes a delayed QB draw up right post lane, arrives unmarked and drills a free header into back right 1/2 high. That's why Klingenberg jump-hugs Sinclair.

A very entertaining match for the first game on Nat'l television. I loved Marta's goal and reminded me of the kind of stuff she used to do with our old Los Angeles Sol team.
Orlando looked like a high school team in the first few minutes of this game -- but it came back strong in the second half. Great game. What is with these Ivy Leaguers?. Lussi from Princeton scores a last minute goal to give Portland a win. Two days ago Hoy from Princeton scored a last minute goal to give Sky Blue a win. And Midge Purce is from Harvard. She got a goal also.
When your gimmick play actually works as drawn up Today was a movie, and @tyler_lussi was a star. #BAONPDX #PTFC #NWSL #PORvORL pic.twitter.com/YRz8oCt0rx— Portland Thorns FC (@ThornsFC) July 15, 2019
