Marta then sealed the deal with a stoppage time goal to put the Pride up by two and they never looked back.

“At the beginning of the season, it was one of our goals to get more fans to come out and watch us play at home this season,” Pride coach Seb Hines said after the game. “I know behind the scenes the front office is doing a terrific job to continue to promote fans to come out and support this team. It’s our job to put the performances together as the players are giving absolutely everything on the pitch. They are doing the most to perform at their highest levels and get victories. I think tonight with the crowd coming out and showing their support for this team, it really helped the players out. They have been doing so well this year and it is something that I cannot put it into words.”

Orlando next plays the Washington Spirit on Oct. 6.
