One play that encapsulated Angel City‘s season-opening loss came in the 90th minute when the ball finally got past Bay FC goalkeeper Lysianne Proulx and rolled slowly toward the net, only for Caprice Dedasco to clear it out just before it crossed line, preserving a 1-0 victory for the NWSL newcomers. “It was a tough, probably, last 30 minutes I would say. It was tough,” Proulx said. “That save that [Dedasco] made on the line was crucial for us.” Missed opportunities plagued Angel City in front of a sold-out crowd Sunday as the team struggled against Proulx, who made eight saves to secure the win.

Angel City failed to score despite 12 corner kicks and dominating time of possession 59% to 41%. In the 70th minute, a header from Sydney Leroux was deflected by Proulx right in the direction of Angel City forward Alyssa Thompson, whose shot off the rebound flew into the stands. In stoppage time, another shot from Thompson bounced off the crossbar, sealing Angel City’s fate.
