The Orlando Pride secured a narrow 3-2 victory over the Washington Spirit on Friday at Audi Field. Angelina, Barbra Banda and Summer Yates each found the back of the net for Orlando, while Ouleymata Sarr and Ashley Hatch scored for Washington.

Angelina opened the scoring in the 13th minute with a right-footed shot from the center of the box, assisted by Banda. The Spirit responded in the 24th minute when Sarr fired a right-footed shot from outside the box into the bottom left corner after receiving a through ball from Croix Bethune.

Banda was instrumental for Orlando (3-3-0), contributing both a goal and an assist. She headed home Julie Doyle's corner kick in close range during the second half to give her team a temporary lead. Summer Yates extended that lead by converting a penalty kick following Annaïg Butel's foul inside the box.

Other notable contributions came from Julie Doyle, who provided an assist on Banda's goal. Brianna Martínez played solid defense despite being shown two yellow cards, which led to her ejection late in stoppage time.

For Washington, Trinity Rodman had several attempts saved or blocked.
