LOS ANGELES — On Superhero Night, Christen Press came off of the bench, unfurled her cape and saved Angel City Football Club, but the goal and win seemed second nature to what occurred later.

Press, who entered the game as a sub in the 65th minute, scored in the 66th breaking through on the scoreboard for Angel City (4-2-2, 14 points) in what would end up being a 2-0 win Friday against the Utah Royals at BMO Stadium.

Press, moving down the left wing, make a cut inside, losing her defender and unleashed a left-footed shot over the outstretched arm of goalkeeper Amanda McGlynn for the first goal of the game. The goal was the first for Press since her comeback last season from four ACL injuries.

The excitement from Press’ goal would leave the stadium in the 74th minute when Angel City defender Savy King went down and was quickly administered to by the training staff. King was eventually put on a stretcher and carted away.

Video review showed King kicked a ball away from a Utah attacker and then she sat down on the turf and laid back. Both teams joined in a prayer circle after the game for King.

The game was restarted after a near 15-minute real time break. King, who is from Agoura High, joined Angel City in a trade with Bay FC in the offseason. This is her second season in the NWSL. She quickly settled into the center back spot, alongside Sarah Gorden this season.

Angel City put the game away midway through the 12-minute stoppage time on Alyssa Thompson’s goal.

First assistant coach Eleri Earnshaw led Angel City from the touchline, filling in for interim coach Sam Laity, who received a red card late in last Friday’s win against the Washington Spirit and had to serve a one-game suspension.

The game was the first for Angel City since April 18 and the first after a tough three-game stretch against some of the league’s top teams (Gotham FC, Orlando Pride and Washington Spirit. Angel City lost two of the three, but came away with valuable lessons in the process.

The win is the second consecutive for Angel City and vaults the club up to third place in the NWSL, but with two days of Week 7 action still to be played.
