May 16, 2025; Houston, Texas, USA; Portland Thorns FC midfielder Sam Coffey (17) chases a loose ball against the Houston Dash in the first half at Shell Energy Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Thomas Shea-Imagn Images Four players found the back of the net in the first 54 minutes of the match as the visiting Portland Thorns thumped the Houston Dash 4-1 on Friday night.
Pietra Tordin and Payton Linnehan scored in the 26th and 30th minutes before Sam Coffey buried a penalty kick in the lower-right corner of the net eight minutes into first-half stoppage time. For Tordin, it was her first professional goal. Caiya Hanks added her second goal of the season not long after halftime.
The outburst helped the Thorns (4-2-4, 16 points) stretch their unbeaten streak to five games (three wins, two draws). Bella Bixby saved two shots for Portland.
The only thing preventing a shutout was Sam Hiatt’s own goal in the 75th minute. Abby Smith recorded three saves for the Dash (3-5-1, 10 points).
Current 1, Pride 0
Temwa Chawinga scored an impressive goal on the run and visiting Kansas City held on to defeat Orlando.
In a battle of the top two teams in the standings entering the night, Chawinga helped the Current (7-2-0, 21 points) maintain the No. 1 spot. In the 52nd minute, she chased down a long pass over the top and one-timed it into the net from close range for her fifth goal of the year.
Current goalkeeper Lorena made four saves to earn the shutout. Anna Moorhouse stopped four shots for the Pride (5-3-1, 16 points), who couldn’t capitalize on seven corner kicks.
Wave 1, Gotham 0
Kimmi Ascanio scored the only goal of the game as San Diego ran its unbeaten streak to five matches with a win over host Gotham in Harrison, N.J.
The 17-year-old Ascanio scored in the 30th minute — her third goal in the last four matches — when she put a perfect shot past goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger following an assist from Perle Morroni.
Kailen Sheridan made two saves to secure the clean sheet for San Diego (5-2-2, 17 points). Berger had one save for NJ/NY (3-4-3, 12 points).

Edmundo indica clube que “converte” jogadores no Brasileirão: “Não é cheio de craques”
Edmundo, em discurso no canal 'Mundo Ed' (Reprodução) Edmundo vê o Fortaleza como um exemplo de gestão no futebol brasileiro. Levando em conta que o Leão do Pici não tem grandes estrelas no elenco, o modo que os jogadores são “convertidos” no trabalho de Vojvoda é um cenário que enche os olhos do ex-atacante. Neste contexto, a sequência do trabalho fez o clube assumir status de potência emergente na América do Sul. “Na minha opinião, não é um time cheio de craques. Alguns jogadores não brilham com algumas camisas, mas viram jogadores super importantes com a camisa do Fortaleza. O diferencial do Fortaleza é o Vojvoda, que deve ser o técnico, depois do Abel, o técnico que está há mais tempo em um time de Série A.”, disse Edmundo, em live no canal Mundo Ed.

Auston Matthews delivers: Maple Leafs captain finds the net, redemption and relief
SUNRISE, Fla. — Auston Matthews scored eight minutes into his first NHL game. The ensuing nine years saw the Toronto Maple Leafs captain put more pucks in the net than any other player in the league, which is why he arrived at Amerant Bank Arena surrounded by a cacophony of what his teammates typically refer to as “noise.”AdvertisementHeading into Game 6, Matthews had played 10 games in the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs without scoring at all. Of the 110 players in league history with at least 400 goals on their resumes, he was the only one stuck on zero beyond Round 1.“Big goal’s coming,” his coach, Craig Berube, predicted as questions about Matthews kept coming.Then with his team’s season on the line, and with the Florida Panthers giving the Maple Leafs all they could handle on Friday […]
Craque Neto elege único técnico melhor do que Abel Ferreira, do Palmeiras
Abel Ferreira durante jogo da Libertadores (Cesar Greco - Ag. Palmeiras) O Craque Neto foi incisivo ao bancar que apenas Luiz Felipe Scolari está acima de Abel Ferreira em relação aos técnicos que já trabalharam no futebol brasileiro. A opinião foi manifestada no “Os Donos da Bola” desta sexta-feira (16), na Band. Na concepção do apresentador, Felipão acabou ficando ‘esquecido’ com o tempo, foi ‘manchado’ pelo 7 a 1, mas é um treinador histórico em solo nacional, tendo inclusive construído trajetória vitoriosa no próprio Palmeiras, onde levantou o primeiro título de Libertadores do clube. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “O único cara que é melhor do que o Abel Ferreira, pra mim, é o Felipão. Mas o Felipão é um treinador que a gente não fala muito dele pela idade, por ser rabugento. O Abel Ferreira é monstruoso”, opinou o Craque Neto. Recorde […]
