Alyssa Thompson recorded a brace to lift visiting Angel City to a 2-1 victory over the San Diego Wave on Saturday.
Thompson did all of her damage during a nine-minute span in the first half, scoring in the 20th minute before adding her second goal in the 29th. Angel City (5-9-3, 18 points) snapped a three-match losing streak with the victory.
It looked like San Diego (3-8-6, 15 points) was going to be shut out for the fourth straight match, but Abby Dahlkemper found the back of the net in the seventh minute of second-half stoppage time.
Delphine Cascarino had a look at a potential equalizer one minute later, but her shot was blocked.
DiDi Haracic was forced to make just one save for Angel City. Kailen Sheridan made four saves for the Wave.
