- Crystal Dunn scores in stoppage time to seal victory
- Thorns have dealt with off-field issues in last few weeks
Crystal Dunn came off the bench and scored in stoppage time to give the Portland Thorns a 2-1 victory over the San Diego Wave in the first of two semi-finals on Sunday in the National Women’s Soccer League.
Dunn has been easing her way back after giving birth to a son five months ago. Her goal came off a corner about three minutes into stoppage time. Taylor Kornieck put the Wave up early with a header off a cross from Alex Morgan in the eighth minute. The Thorns equalized with Rocky Rodriguez stunning volley in the 20th minute.
