Mandatory Credit: Geoff Burke-Imagn Images Red-hot Riley Tiernan recorded a brace, including the decisive goal in the eighth minute of second-half stoppage time, to give Angel City FC a 4-3 road victory over the Washington Spirit on Friday night.
Tiernan has five goals over the past five matches for Angel City (3-2-2, 11 points). Gisele Thompson and Katie Zelem also scored goals for Angel City, who received the winning score two minutes before the match was called.
Esme Morgan scored her first two NWSL goals for the Spirit (4-3-0, 12 points). Her second tally tied the score in the 89th minute. Gift Monday also had a goal for Washington.
The Spirit never led and rallied from 2-0 and 3-2 deficits. However, Angel City got the most important score as Claire Emslie took a corner kick and Christen Press' glancing header sent the ball to Tiernan, who was just feet from the goal and slammed a right-footed shot into the net.
