Chicago (USA), Aug 27 (EFE).- The San Diego Wave of double world champion Alex Morgan added their second consecutive victory once morest the Orlando Pride and took advantage of the Portland Thorns’ setbacks to move two points off the lead in the NWSl, the women’s soccer league in the United States.
They did it in a few days in which the teams of the American league expressed their support for the Spanish player Jennifer Hermoso and condemned the kiss on the mouth given to her by the president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), Luis Rubiales, in World Cup medal ceremony.
The Wave won 2-1 at home once morest the Pride and the players took to the field wearing ‘With You Jenni’ armbands, something the Houston Dash and Kansas City Current also did on Saturday.
With that victory, the Wave placed second in the table, with 27 points, behind two of the leaders, Thorns, who did not go beyond 1-1 in the Washington field.
The defending champions received the equalizing goal in the 92nd minute, signed from a penalty by Ashley Hatch.
The North Carolina Courage share second place with the Wave, following adding just one point in their last three games. This Sunday once morest the Chicago Red Stars, the Courage drew 1-1.
