Angel City hosts the Chicago Red Stars in the first meeting between the two teams.
Angel City Football Club has nine games remaining in its inaugural season.In three of its last four NWSL games, Angel City has had late leads, only to lose them late in the game. That’s a possible nine points that could have the club near the top of the NWSL standings, instead of being outside the playoff picture, looking in.Angel City enters the weekend currently in seventh place facing a big challenge Sunday at Banc of California Stadium against the Chicago Red Stars at 5 p.m. .
“I think losing out on points in late stages of the games has been a painful learning process for the group,” Angel City coach Freya Coombe said. “We are aware that we could have achieved more points, but it is something that we are continuing to work on to improve in the last part of the season.” Against the Portland Thorns , Angel City allowed the tying goal in the sixth minute of stoppage time and had to settle for a 1-1 draw. Later in the month , Angel City had a 2-0 lead at halftime, only to see OL Reign score three times in the second half to take the win and last week, a 2-1 lead in the 90th minute, turned into a 2-2 draw following a stoppage time own goal.Midfielder Savannah McCaskill is hopeful things will go smoothly at home against the Red Stars.
“Being the only team we haven’t faced yet, that is going to come with new challenges, but it is also exciting to play someone we haven’t seen yet,” she said. “They don’t know our tendencies other than watching, just like we have to figure out theirs as well. It will be an interesting game.
