Orlando Pride loses the first game of the 2024 NWSL season 2-0 against Portland Thorns FC

The Orlando Pride's undefeated streak has ended with two games remaining in the 2024 NWSL regular season. The Pride lost 2-0 to Portland Thorns FC at Providence Park on Friday night.

Morgan Weaver found the bottom right corner of the net in the 13th minute to give the Portland Thorns a 1-0 lead. Weaver's goal was assisted by Reyna Reyes, who headed a corner pass in front of goal that resulted in a short kick past Orlando goalkeeper Anna Moorhouse.

Portland added a goal from Christine Sinclair, who fired the ball into the bottom left corner from near the penalty spot. The game was effectively over in the 55th minute.

Trying to become the first NWSL team to finish the regular season undefeated, the Pride entered the game with a record of 17-0-6. Portland was 8-4-11 before Friday, placing it seventh in the league standings.

Orlando has two games left on its schedule: it hosts Gotham FC at Inter&Co Stadium on Oct. 20 before finishing the season against the Seattle Reign at Lumen Field.

The Pride won the NWSL Shield, awarded to the club with the best regular season record, after a 2-0 win over the Washington Spirit last Sunday. Orlando goes into the NWSL playoffs as number 1 with home advantage. They will face the No. 8 seed (likely either Portland or Bay FC) when the postseason begins on November 8th.

The 2024 NWSL Championship will be played on November 23rd at CPKC Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.
