Thorns play to stubborn draw

Late penalty kick leads to 3-3 draw with Racing Louisville

‍

PORTLAND - The season-long stress of scoring unleashed itself again in a positive way Sunday, but the result was not as it was just five days before for the Portland Thorns, who got a late score and ended up with a 3-3 draw with Racing Louisville before a crowd of 16,219 at Providence Park.

Portland rallied from down 3-1 with a pair of penalty-kick scores, one in the fifth minute of extra time in the first half, and the second in the 10th minute of extra time for the second half.

Defender Jayden Perry hit the second PK to give the hosts 10 goals on the season, and move them to sixth overall in the NWSL standings.

Portland romped to a 4-1 win over NY/NJ on Tuesday, and is unbeaten in its last four matches at Providence Park.
