Jordyn Huitema’s shot on a breakaway went wide for the Reign, while a free kick from María Sánchez was pushed away by goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce. With the heat index near 110 degrees (43 Celsius) at kickoff, both teams had limited chances in a slower first half. All three goals were scored by defenders. Scarlett Camberos pounced on a poor touch from the Wave and passed to Vignola, who finished from close range.
In the 89th minute, Angel City (3-6-3) found its game-winning goal. Nielsen tied it in the 70th, bringing down a corner kick at the far post and squeezing her shot into the near-post corner. It was San Diego’s fifth goal from outside the box, most in the NWSL. Kristen McNabb opened the scoring for the Wave in the 57th minute, running onto a pass from Alex Morgan at the top of the box and blasting a shot through the legs of defender Ali Riley and into the right corner. Assistant coach Becki Tweed took over and will serve as the interim head coach until a permanent replacement is selected. The win marked Angel City’s first match since former head coach Freya Coombe was fired on Thursday after a rocky start that put the team in 11th place at the midway point of the season. Vignola scored to rally Angel City to a 2-1 win against the San Diego Wave in the National Women’s Soccer League on Saturday.
