SEATTLE — Angel City FC didn’t find any momentum during its month off.
Jess Fishlock scored her second goal of the season and the Seattle Reign beat Angel City, 2-0, on Friday night as the National Women’s Soccer League resumed play after its annual summer break.
Sveindís Jane Jónsdóttir and Evelyn Shores both debuted for Angel City (4-7-3, 15 points), which is winless in its last six matches.
Fishlock broke a scoreless deadlock at Lumen Field when she scored on a rebound from the center of the box in the 66th minute. The goal originated from a cross by Sofia Huerta, who was making her first appearance of the season for the Reign.
The Reign (7-4-3, 24 points), undefeated in their last four matches, made it 2-0 in the 86th minute when Huerta’s corner kick was deflected in by Angel City midfielder Alanna Kennedy.
Mia Fishel, who signed with the Reign from Chelsea in July, made her debut for Seattle, coming off the bench in the 81st minute.
