Sveindís Jónsdóttir had a hand in all three Angel City goals, leading Angel City FC to a 3-1 road win over rival Bay FC on Saturday. Angel City improved to 2-0-0.
Kennedy Fuller’s long pass sent Jónsdóttir in behind the defense in the third minute, and Jónsdóttir finished calmly for the opener. Jónsdóttir then found Gisele Thompson in the 32nd minute before adding her second goal in the 53rd.
Jónsdóttir scored her first brace in the 54th minute when she headed home Evelyn Shores’ corner kick to make it 3-0. She ended the night with two goals and an assist.
Taylor Huff scored Bay FC’s lone goal in the 55th minute. The midfielder was later sent off with two yellow cards, both in second half stoppage time.
Angel City FC defender Savy King played 82 minutes in her first start since suffering a cardiac event during a game on May 9 that led to open heart surgery.
The win snapped a nine-match winless streak on the road for the visitors. Their last win away from home came on May 2 versus Washington Spirit in a 4-3 thriller.
Angel City returns home to face Houston on Friday.
