DC Power Women

Match report

DC Power played out a 1:1 draw against Tampa Bay Sun in the USL Super League Group Stage on Thursday evening. The match ended level after S. Connors opened the scoring in the 62nd minute, only for E. Jaskaniec to equalise eight minutes later. And here's the thing about these Group Stage clashes — they often feel like work in progress rather than finished products.

Connors gave the hosts the lead before Tampa Bay responded through their substitute. Jaskaniec came on and made her mark quickly, finding the net to level matters. To be fair, both sides had been building toward this sort of moment all evening, though neither could quite put the game to bed.

There were plenty of stoppages for discipline. S. Angel picked up a yellow card early on in the 17th minute, and things got busier after the break. J. Gaynor and T. Lussi both went off after receiving bookings, and S. McNeill managed to collect two cards in quick succession around the 63rd and 64th minutes.

The substitutions tell you something about how both managers wanted to change the shape. Tampa Bay brought on three players around the 69th minute — J. Gaynor, T. Lussi and G. Gourley — while DC Power responded with changes of their own. By then, the game had settled into a rhythm where neither side was prepared to take risks.

Neither team came away with much to celebrate from the standings perspective. DC Power sit fifth with seven points from five games, while Tampa Bay are fourth after four matches with the same tally. Seven points apiece after different numbers of fixtures means neither side has really pulled clear yet.
