Teenager Alyssa Thompson scored minutes into her NWSL debut for Angel City, but it wasn't enough to hold off Gotham FC in a 2-1 season-opening loss.
And Marroquin said Angel City can expect a lot more of what Thompson showed Sunday, when she scored her team’s only goal while wreaking havoc all night in a season-opening 2-1 loss to Gotham FC in front of a sellout crowd of 22,000 at BMO Stadium.
America Ferrera is among the Hollywood celebrities who’ve used their Angel City soccer club ownership stakes as a way to help people and the community. In fact VAR — which, like Thompson, was making its NWSL debut Sunday — figured heavily in the result, costing Endo her score and setting up Gotham’s first goal, which came on a penalty kick.
Thompson very nearly set up another goal in the dying minutes of the first half when she gathered a rebound of a Gotham corner kick and outran the entire New Jersey/New York team up the middle of the pitch, leading to a corner at the other end. However that chance ended with Smith making a save on aAngel City lost a goal in between, with Endo catching Smith well off her line and lofting a shot from just outside the center circle that caromed in off the left post.
