ORLANDO, Fla – The Orlando Pride won their fifth game in a row defeating Louisville FC at home on Sunday evening.
Barbra Banda, who Orlando recently acquired for a club-record transfer fee, scored the game’s only goal in the first half. It also marks Banda’s fourth goal of the season.
“I think today was a tough game obviously with the quick turnaround and everything that we put into Wednesday,” Pride coach Seb Hines said. “Their emotions and all that we had to go through after Wednesday, and then just to turn around against a good Louisville team who had a week to prepare for this game with a lot of energy you could see towards the end. The players were on their last legs, but I can’t say enough compliments for them”
