The Orlando Pride continued its fine form with a win on Saturday over the Boston Breakers. Three points gained means Orlando now sits in fourth position in the NWSL standings -- two points ahead of the Seattle Reign.
The Reign were also in action Saturday against Sam Kerr and Sky Blue FC. If Seattle had been able to close out a 3-0 halftime lead it would have overtaken Orlando in the standings; but the Reign were on the wrong end of one of the greatest comebacks in NWSL history. Sam Kerr scored four goals in a miraculous comeback. Check it out below.
Orlando and Seattle have now played the same amount of games (19) and are among the teams fighting for playoff qualification as the 2017 season winds down.
On Sunday, the Chicago Red Stars dropped three points to FC Kansas City, meaning they now sit alongside the Pride with 29 points. The Red Stars own the tiebreaker (head-to-head matchups), but it creates a close race for third place down the stretch.
The Pride will travel to Kansas City this Saturday in search of three more points as they continue their climb in the standings with just five games remaining.
