BAY FC DELIVERS MEMORABLE WIN OVER ANGEL CITY FC IN NWSL DEBUT
Bay FC's inaugural match sent a loud message to the rest of the NWSL -- This upstart expansion team from Northern California is ready to hit the ground running in its first season. Bay FC's historic 1-0 win over Angel City FC on Sunday at BMO Stadium had just about everything you could ask for, delivering an action-packed match that will live long in the memory of Bay Area fans. Asisat Oshoala was the only player to find the back of the net for either side, serving up a clinical finish in the 17th minute to register the first goal in Bay FC history.
The former Barcelona FC superstar made a splash in her NWSL debut, giving Bay FC a lethal finisher up front who provides them with a potent scoring option any time she is on the pitch. As impressive as Oshoala's game-winning goal was, however, it was Bay FC's backline that stole the show on Sunday, with a handful of players delivering heroic performances in their own third to maintain a clean sheet in the club's debut match. Goalkeeper Lysianne Proulx was sensational, serving as a brick wall in the net against repeated Angel FC attacks throughout the match — including fending off an early barrage in the 7th minute.
