  "account": "In a thrilling 1-1 draw, Gotham FC and the Portland Thorns traded goals in a match that took place on Friday night. Sophia Wilson, a player for the Portland Thorns, converted a late penalty kick to secure the draw. Earlier in the game, Gotham FC's Jaedyn Shaw had broken the scoreless deadlock in the 61st minute, chipping the ball in from outside the box after receiving a pass from Sam Kerr. Wilson's goal came in the 75th minute, after a penalty was awarded following a video review that showed Portland forward Pietra Tordin being stepped on by Gotham midfielder Jaelin Howell. The match saw both teams extend their unbeaten streaks, with Gotham moving to 10 games unbeaten and Portland Thorns to four games. In a separate game, the San Diego Wave came back from a two-goal deficit to beat Racing Louisville 3-2. Trinity Byars scored twice and Kenza Dali netted the winner for the Wave. The match was marked by Lauren Milliet and Taylor Flint scoring for Racing Louisville in the 12th and 23rd minutes, respectively, giving them a 2-0 lead. San Diego responded in the 47th minute with a goal by Byars, assisted by Mimi Van Zanten. The Wave completed their comeback with a long-range shot from Dali in the 80th minute. Racing Louisville, currently at 7-13-2, has dropped consecutive games after a four-match win streak.",
