Haley McCutcheon, Barbra Banda and the legendary Marta scored for top-seeded Orlando, which was undefeated at home and lost just two games this season en route to the NWSL Shield.

Following a historic 2024 NWSL Shield-winning regular season, the Pride secured their spot in the NWSL final following a 3-2 victory over the Kansas City Current on Sunday in front of an announced attendance of 14,524 at Inter&Co Stadium.

For Washington Spirit, an NWSL final is familiar territory having won the competition on 2021 avenging ther 2016 loss. For the Orlando Pride, it’s a different story with Saturday’s final being the first time the Florida side have progressed so far in their short eight year history.
