Bay FC’s 2-0 win against Angel City was a much-needed victory after two consecutive losses. This win has propelled them only to 10th place, of course, and a 0.6 – 1.2 non-penalty xG split in their rivals’ favor suggested that they had some luck on their side.
Within the first 30 minutes, Bay FC struck twice through a Penelope Hocking goal and a Caroline Conti penalty to put Angel City on the back foot. While there was still plenty of time left in the match, the early goals allowed Bay to drop deeper and focus on hitting Angel City in transition. Both goals stemmed from sharp, decisive midfield moments where Bay regained possession and quickly progressed into the final third.
