I'm a Thorns fan but have to recognise Kundananji is an excellent player. Her goal and assist were both top quality plays.

[@stewart1555]

Here for Sophia Smith, but Kundanaji left her mark for sure.

[@sderle]

Kundananji is legitimately terrifying :-0

[@Roscoe8161]

Thorns fan here. Credit Bay for staying in the game after an early 0-2 deficit. After drawing even, it could have gone either way. It was jaw dropping to watch Kundananji turn veteran players on the Thorns back line.

It's nice to see Kelli Hubley return at center back. She isn't going to get her number called on the highlights, but she started the possession that led to that second goal with a great slide tackle to disposses the ball from the attacking player. And once again, the Portland keeper is just terrible. First goal was right at her and she didn't even touch it. A couple of really terrible clearances also by the Thorns keeper that could have easily been Bay FC goals.Can't wait for Bella to be back.

[@candacelong7643]

Hubly has way too many giveaways and is not confident or calm when making passes. She had multiple poor passes that led to close goals given up which is why she is likely on the bench. Obaze is by far better and works well with Sauerbrunn. Atp Hubly should only come on for injuries

Where was Jesse Fleming during this game? I didn't see her in the starting lineup on on the subs list.

[@sderle]

Gale said post-game that she came home early to rest up for Saturday. They _are_ playing three games this week after all. Gotta keep some depth in the squad, especially given that Saturday is vs. the Sprit 😬

[@iansoberano5103]

I wonder how Morgan weaver is doing she got hurt last night maybe a leg injury or a torn ACL it did not look good last night when I was watching the game on TV. It could be the same as ALEX LOERA injury too many to torn ACL injuries is a disaster. I pray for Morgan Weaver who is my fave player….keep me informed anyone if anyone knows what injury does Morgan has?? Thanks. 💔

[@sderle]

Looked like an ankle sprain from the replay and aftermath 😢 I hope she's okay. Coach Gale said in the post-game interview that he didn't know. Presumably we'll find out when they take the field on Saturday.

[@iansoberano5103]

@@sderle yeah it could be a torn ACL or ACHILLIES that could mean SEI. I don’t think it’s an ankle sprain Morgan weaver was in pain and got carried off by the trainers. She landed awkwardly that is a bad sign. We will see though.

[@iansoberano5103]

@@sderle Latest update Morgan Weaver is on the 45 day DL after having surgery on her knee (read on website) so she wont be back till JUNE 14 or 15. Shocker indeed.

[@adriancristian1664]

Morgan weaver debería jugado del principio con Sofía smith hacen buen equipo!

[@sderle]

Ellas son muy fuertes jugando conjuntas! Pero Weaver se lastimó el pie en los últimos minutos 😢entonces tenemos que depender de Linnehan por unas semanas! Fortunamente ya viste qué es también una athleta muy talentosa 😅 .... Vamos Thorns!! 🌹

[@iansoberano5103]

Yes they do!
