First win since May gives Racing Louisville a much needed boost
Racing Louisville secured their first victory in nearly three months, defeating Angel City FC 2-1 in Los Angeles on Sunday. Rookie Maja Lardner scored her first two professional goals, including a brace, to end the team's six-match winless streak. The win, Louisville's first since May 8, came against an Angel City side that had won three straight matches. Goalkeeper Jordyn Bloomer made a key stoppage-time save to preserve the result. Despite remaining at the bottom of the NWSL table, the victory provides a significant morale boost for a club navigating a difficult season marked by roster upheaval, including a reported trade request from standout forward Emma Sears, ownership seeking additional investment, and disappointing attendance. The win also represents Louisville's first road victory and first away points of the 2026 campaign.
