Oh my god Berhalter. Thunderous tackle, brilliant winner seconds later. What an ending from Vancouver.

It's certainly a penalty here, a red would seem harsh from VAR.

Don't think Pareja was the problem....yikes to Orlando. Griezmann may not save this either.

Corner Gotham. AKB is in the box...ball falls to her for a shot from 30 out...parried away by Lorena. But that'll do.

GOAL. Cooper. 2-1 Current. Emily Sonnett was too busy trying to delay the restart to defend, long ball from Rodriguez on the restart finds Sentnor, who feeds Cooper for an excellent shot into the far corner. Caught AKB leaning.

Debinha and Ally Sentnor are constantly in each other's spaces, and making the same exact runs. Going forward I don't know that they can coexist on the field together. It was like this last year, and frankly worse this year.

HALFTIME. 1-1. Temwa was phenomenal in her minutes back. Zero idea why she was taken off at the 40-minute mark. The Current midfield looks disorganized for sure, but they can be blistering in the attack. Looked better in that first half but not a ton of shots coming from it.

CPKC stadium is quite alive. And now Temwa comes off? They had already left her on for 40 minutes and we're five minutes away from half...where the sub doesn't count against a sub window. So...silly. And illogical, frankly.

Second five second rule on AKB. She had a lot longer than five seconds, seemingly deliberately tried to test the ref on how long she could hold it. Although, Current fans seem very misguided as to what that rule actually is for because the counting during a goalkick is useless.

Jadyn Shaw shot from distance trickles in. Lorena has not been her best to start this year. 1-0 Gotham approaching the 30th minute.

Coop with her best spell of the season yet. Looks dangerous getting on the ball and driving at Lily Reale. Cooked her twice. Earn a corner and the Current can't stay onside on the short corner routine.

No doubt Duran is hurt. She's being helped off the field, just certainly didn't come from contact here. Gotham weighing up the change. Looks like it might be Tierna Davidson.

Koroleva with a horrendous call on Chawinga. Chawinga never touched Duran, though she certainly got hurt on the play. Seems like a knee injury, but there was nothing in that. Too much guesswork.

AKB whistled for time wasting. Good. Set a precedent early and knock it off. Current win a corner and nearly score. Sharples off the bar.

Armas on lack of cohesion from the front four so far: "When you put it all together there's some really talented players there. And as we get going with the season, you'll see that the relationships, the understanding, the movements, the four bodies one mind type of thing, it will click."

2-0 Thorns. Zero reason for Lorena to go for that. Haven't seen the team this unorganized or pressing to make something work since 23.

Woof...soft penalty kick call but I don't see how it can get overturned. Wilson taken down by Ball. Lorena will step up to save though Wilson launched into her for the loose ball once Lorena grabbed it.

Scoreless first half. Current lucky to not be behind after Portland's early onslaught. Two shots off the post from Wilson are the danger warnings. They had control over the final 20ish minutes of that half, but the attack is frankly leaving a lot to be desired.

A persistent infringement warning on Croix Bethune. Expect the next foul on her to earn a Thorns player a yellow. Just now Alidou stamps on her calf, and the foul is on Bethune. Ok, lol.

Bethune tosses the ball at a Portland player after a foul called on Portland and she goes into the book. Flemming jumped on top of her as she was going down and deserved one herself, but can't do that if you're Bethune.
