Maiara Niehues<\/a> scored for the fourth straight match and Ary Borges<\/a> added a goal as Angel City<\/a> defeated the league-leading San Diego Wave 2-0 at Snapdragon Stadium on Saturday.<\/p>\n

After goalkeeper Luisa Agudelo failed to corral the ball, Niehues beat defender Perle Morroni to the ball and headed it home for the 1-0 lead in the 17th minute.<\/p>\n

Sveind\u00eds Jonsdottir<\/a>\u2019s long throw into the box in the 26th minute was put away by Borges to make it 2-0 in the 26th minute.<\/p>\n

Angel City attacker Jun Endo<\/a> went down with a non-contact injury in the 33rd minute and was assisted off the pitch visibly shaken.<\/p>\n

Borges took down midfielder Kimmi Ascanio in the box, resulting in a penalty kick for the Wave (9-5-1) in the 86th minute, but Lia Godfrey\u2019s shot from the spot hit the post.<\/p>\n

Angelina Anderson had six saves for her fourth clean sheet of the season for Angel City (6-1-6).<\/p>\n

San Diego\u2019s shutout streak came to an end at 242 minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Maiara Niehues scored for the fourth straight match and Ary Borges added a goal as Angel City defeated…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":929233,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5134],"tags":[374750,374749,5229,374748,329763,279035,20698,44462,1582,276,374753,286924,374752,279038,464,3549,7264,554,374751,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":["post-929232","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-17th-minute","tag-26th-minute","tag-america","tag-angel-city-defeat","tag-angelina-anderson","tag-ary-borges","tag-ball","tag-box","tag-ca","tag-california","tag-fourth-clean-sheet","tag-lia-godfrey","tag-long-throw","tag-maiara-niehues","tag-post","tag-san-diego","tag-sandiego","tag-shot","tag-sveindis-jonsdottir","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116905331028486211","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/929232","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=929232"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/929232\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/929233"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=929232"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=929232"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=929232"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
