Thorns survive Legacy rally behind Tordin’s hat trick in 4-3 win
On Sunday, the Portland Thorns secured a 4-3 victory over the Boston Legacy, marking the first time the teams had faced each other in a match. Leading scorer Pietra Tordin netted a career-best three goals, delivering a historic hat trick for the Thorns at just 22 years old. Tordin's first goal came after a free kick, with the ball striking her shot off goalkeeper Casey Murphy's gloves before clipping the crossbar.
She added another goal after Jessie Fleming intercepted a pass, extending Portland's lead to 3-0. The Thorns maintained their lead despite Boston's comeback, ultimately winning the highest-scoring National Women's Soccer League match of the season.
