LOS ANGELES – Angel City Football Club fought hard to overcome a two-goal deficit against the Denver Summit, ending the night in a 3-3 draw at BMO Stadium on Friday.
Angel City's Maiara Niehues opened scoring one minute before halftime, and goals on both sides did not stop coming. The action-packed second half saw five goals scored: two by Angel City and three by the visiting Denver Summit. Down by two goals, Angel City's offense was on a mission.
"Going down 3-1 at home was not acceptable," Angel City forward Sveindís Jónsdóttir said. "We came together and spoke and said we were not done. We knew we wanted to score more goals. We've got some game-changers on, and they helped us change the game."
In the 44th minute, Sarah Gorden intercepted the ball and immediately played it to Niehues, who sent it flying into the back of the net for a goal. It was Niehues' eighth goal of the season.
