Kennedy scores late equalizer for Angel City in 1-1 with rival Wave
Alanna Kennedy scored a late equalizer and Angel City tied the San Diego Wave 1-1 on Sunday night in their Southern California rivalry in the National Women's Soccer League. Elsewhere in the NWSL on Saturday, Gotham FC played to a scoreless draw at home with the Washington Spirit and the Orlando Pride were held to a 1-1 tie at home against Racing Louisville. Just as the Wave looked to be securing a first home win over Angel City since 2022, Sveindís Jane Jónsdóttir sent in a cross and Kennedy leapt highest in the box to head home and make it 1-1 in the second minute of stoppage time. The goal was Kennedy's first for Angel City. San Diego had only opened the scoring in the 85th minute, when Makenzy Robbe curled in a shot across the goal from the right side of the box. It was Robbe's first goal of the season, but her 10th career goal for the Wave. In the first half, after being struck in the head by the ball, Angel City defender Sarah Gorden left the game with a concussion. The fourth-place Wave (7-4-4) are now undefeated in their last four matches, although the last three have all been ties. Angel City (4-7-4) remains 11th in the standings and is winless in its last seven games. The team is also winless since head coach Alex Straus came aboard in June. Bloomer saves two penalty kicks for Racing Louisville Jordyn Bloomer saved a pair of penalty kicks and Louisville escaped with a 1-1 draw on the road against the Pride. With the game at 0-0, the Louisville goalkeeper confidently lunged to her right to parry away Julia Doyle's effort from the spot in the 45th minute. With the last kick of the first half, Racing jumped out to a 1-0 lead when Marisa DiGrande scored off a cross from Janine Sonis in the fourth minute of first half stoppage time. Bloomer then blocked Angelina's penalty kick in the 85th minute, diving to her left and firmly stopping the Orlando midfielder's shot. Bloomer finished the match with five saves. Just as it looked as if Bloomer's heroics would secure all three points for Racing, Louisville midfielder Ary Borges headed a cross into her own net to gift the Pride a late equalizer in the third minute of stoppage time. Racing (6-6-3) remain seventh in the NWSL standings, two points above the playoff line. The Pride (8-4-3) sit at second, 12 points behind the Kansas City Current in first. 10-player Gotham holds on for tie with Spirit Despite playing over an hour with 10 players, Gotham FC blunted the Washington Spirit i a scoreless draw at Sports Illustrated stadium. After a VAR review, Gotham forward Geyse was sent off for raking the bottom of her left cleat above the ankle of Spirit defender Gabrielle Carle in the 30th minute. It was the fourth time this season that a Gotham player had been sent off in a match. Sofia Cantore made her debut for the Spirit when she came off the bench at halftime, and by doing so became the first Italian to play in the NWSL. Gotham (5-5-5) ended the weekend in eighth in the standings, which is the final playoff spot. The team also recorded its highest home attendance, 13,860, of the season so far. The Spirit (8-4-3) sit third and remain undefeated since head coach Adrian Gonzalez was promoted from assistant after the departure of Jonatan Giraldez. ___ AP soccer:

Miranchuk goal in the 87th minute pulls Atlanta United into draw with CF Montreal
MONTREAL (AP) — Aleksey Miranchuk late goal helped Atlanta United forge a 1-1 draw against CF Montreal on Saturday. A corner from Saba Lobjanidze caused chaos in the Montreal penalty area and led to Miranchuk nodding the ball home from just a few inches out at the 87th minute. Atlanta (4-11-10) nearly pulled out the win at the 90th minute, but Miguel Almiron's curling shot hit the crossbar. Dante Sealy opened the scoring in the 40th minute for Montreal (4-15-7), which is still searching for its second home win in MLS play this season. After finding space behind the Atlanta (4-11-10) defense, Caden Clark found himself in a two-on-one situation and slid the ball across to Sealy for the score. Newly arrived Montreal goalkeeper Thomas Gillier had his hands full early, making a series of key saves amid the Atlanta pressure. After intermission, the two swapped possession and half-chances. ___ AP soccer:

Soccer star Mohamed Salah calls out UEFA statement on killing of ‘Palestinian Pelé'
Soccer The Middle East People in sports The UNFacebookTweetLink Follow Soccer superstar Mohamed Salah called out European football's governing body on Saturday for its limited statement after Palestinian footballer Suleiman Al-Obeid was killed in Gaza. The Egyptian Liverpool forward, the highest-profile Arab player in the game, pointedly noted that the post by UEFA made no reference to the circumstances of Al-Obeid's death. Al-Obeid, who during his playing days was part of the Palestinian national team, was killed by an Israeli strike targeting civilians waiting for aid in southern Gaza, according to the Palestine Football Association (PFA). 'Farewell to Suleiman al-Obeid, the 'Palestinian Pelé'. A talent who gave hope to countless children, even in the darkest of times,' wrote UEFA in a post on X. Salah responded to the post on Saturday: 'Can you tell us how he died, where, and why?' His remark quickly gained traction online, with more than 840,000 likes by Saturday night. UEFA has not publicly commented further. CNN has contacted the Switzerland-based body for comment. Later on Saturday, the PFA shared a statement in Arabic that it said was sent from UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin, expressing his condolences for Al-Obeid's death. Al-Obeid showed that 'joy, talent, and pride can blossom despite suffering,' said the statement attributed to Ceferin. 'His talent and dedication of the game gave the children of Gaza and beyond hope in a brighter tomorrow.' Al-Obeid was born in Gaza City and was 41 years old when he was killed, according to the PFA. He had scored more than 100 goals throughout his long career, it said. Salah, a four-time Premier League top-goalscorer, is one of the highest-profile footballers to speak out against the war in Gaza. He has previously called for humanitarian aid to be allowed into the enclave 'immediately,' for world leaders to help end the fighting, and for the 'massacres' to stop. According to the PFA, 325 members of its football community have been killed since the war began on October 7, 2023 – including players, managers, referees, coaches and other staff. The United Nations says more than 1,300 people have been killed by Israeli forces while seeking food since late May, when a controversial new Israel- and US-backed aid group, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, began operating. Of those, more than 800 have been killed near GHF sites, according to the UN. Currently 75% of all United Nations members recognize a sovereign Palestinian state, with more countries - including Britain, France and Canada - recently announcing plans to do the same. At the UN, Palestine is currently a non-member observer state of the UN General Assembly as the United States has consistently blocked full UN membership. As a football team though, Palestine has been recognized by the sport's world governing body FIFA since 1998. They have played in the last three Asian Cup tournaments, but have yet to qualify for the World Cup.
