However, while the Spirit put two of their seven shots on target, the Pride only hit the frame seven times. Using a heavily rotated lineup, the Pride dominated the 90 minutes with 56.3% possession and out-shot their opponents, 25-7. The best example of how much the Pride have missed Adriana and Marta was on display Saturday night in a 1-0 loss to the Washington Spirit. The recent performances have shown that the two Brazilians can’t return soon enough. However, after winning two consecutive league games, the team has struggled to find the target during the past three Challenge Cup matches. The Pride lost fewer players to the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup than most NWSL sides, only losing two players that were with the team prior to the tournament.
