ACFC hosts Portland on the final day of the NWSL regular season Sunday and all paths to the postseason begin with a win and some help from around the league
Angel City FC defender Paige Nielsen, left, vies for the ball with Orlando’s Marta during the second half Oct. 2, 2023, at BMO Stadium. In its inaugural season, Angel City Football Club made it to the penultimate game of the season with a shot at making the NWSL playoffs, but ended up on the outside looking in.
“I think we’ve approached the last five games or the last part of the season in the same mindset that we have to approach Sunday,” ACFC defender and captain Ali Riley said. “We knew to stay in it after being in 11th place, we were trying to win every game. We weren’t winning every game, but I think you were able to see that mentality, never give-up and we wanted to get a result out of every single game.
There are a lot of scenarios at play for Angel City in Sunday’s regular-season finale at home against the first-place Portland Thorns . Entering the final day, only Portland and San Diego Wave FC have clinched a spot and Chicago and Kansas City are the only teams that have been eliminated from contention.
To clinch a playoff spot, ACFC will have to defeat the Thorns, who will be trying to win the NWSL Shield as the best team in the regular season. Angel City will also need a win or loss by Washington or a loss or draw by Orlando. Another path to the playoffs: an ACFC win, a draw or loss by OL Reign or a loss by Gotham FC.
