The Orlando Pride (3-0-0, 9 points) defeated the San Diego Wave FC (1-1-1, 4 points) last Saturday (March 29) at Inter&Co Stadium to continue its undefeated streak for the 2025 season via a 2-1 scoreline. The Pride have started the 2025 regular season with three straight wins, marking the first time in Club history they have done so.
Scoring Summary:
* 50’ - Haley McCutcheon – ORL 1, SD 0 _ The Pride opened the scoring just five minutes into the second half with a goal from defender Haley McCutcheon. On a corner kick, Marta curled the ball into the box where Barbra Banda headed the ball back into the mix and the ball was deflected off a San Diego Wave defender before bouncing to McCutcheon at the near post. McCutcheon then tapped the ball into the back of the net with a first touch off her right foot to give the Pride the lead.
* 62’ - Chiamaka Okwuchukwu (Kenza Dali) – ORL 1, SD 1 _ San Diego tied the scoreline in the 63rd minute on a header by Chiamaka Okwuchukwu. The Wave regained possession with a throw-in on the left side where defender Perle Marroni received the ball and sent it to Midfielder Kenza Dali who floated the ball into the box. Okwuchukwu found the end of it and with a flick off of the head, headed it into the back of the net.
* 76’ - Marta (Penalty Kick) – ORL 2, SD 1 _ Forward Marta put the Pride back in front from the penalty spot in the 76th minute. After a foul on Barbra Banda in the box, the Pride were awarded a penalty kick. After the penalty kick had to be retaken by the Pride, the Brazilian international then stepped up to the spot again and this time converted with a bar-down panenka shot to retake the lead late in the second half.
