Angel City FC takes victory and momentum into Houston after a hard-fought draw against Portland Thorns and a win against Kansas City Current. This week, facing a tough three-game week, Angel City recorded a hard-fought draw on the road against the Portland Thorns and followed that with a gritty 2-1 home win against the Kansas City Current on Wednesday night. Alex Straus, the coach of Angel City FC, said the players have been performing well. One key to their success has been in goal with Angelina Anderson, who came up with a big save against Portland and had a massive penalty-kick stop in the second half against Kansas City. Kennedy Fuller scored what proved to be the winning goal in the 71st minute. Angel City had a quick turnaround, leaving home Thursday to head to Houston for a meeting against the Dash. Casey Phair made her first NWSL start, playing 82 minutes against the Current. Straus said Phair worked really hard and is a handful for a defender. The NWSL pauses on May 31, but there is still an international window in June. As of Thursday, three Angel City players will be departing for their respective national teams. Sveindís Jónsdóttir will join Iceland, Ary Borges will join Brazil, and Claire Emslie will join Scotland. Angel City FC will face Houston Dash on Saturday at 5:45 p.m. PT at Shell Energy Stadium. The team is looking to build on their momentum after a tough few weeks. And with Anderson's goalkeeping and Fuller's scoring, they have a good chance of securing another win. But the Dash will not be easy to beat, and Angel City FC will need to be at their best to come out on top. So, the stage is set for an exciting match between two teams headed in opposite directions. Angel City FC is ready to take on the challenge and make the most of their momentum.
