Maiara Niehues<\/a> scored for the fourth straight match and Ary Borges<\/a> added a goal as Angel City<\/a> defeated the league-leading San Diego Wave 2-0 at Snapdragon Stadium on Saturday.<\/p>\n

After goalkeeper Luisa Agudelo failed to corral the ball, Niehues beat defender Perle Morroni to the ball and headed it home for the 1-0 lead in the 17th minute.<\/p>\n

Sveind\u00eds Jonsdottir<\/a>\u2019s long throw into the box in the 26th minute was put away by Borges to make it 2-0 in the 26th minute.<\/p>\n

Angel City attacker Jun Endo<\/a> went down with a non-contact injury in the 33rd minute and was assisted off the pitch visibly shaken.<\/p>\n

Borges took down midfielder Kimmi Ascanio in the box, resulting in a penalty kick for the Wave (9-5-1) in the 86th minute, but Lia Godfrey\u2019s shot from the spot hit the post.<\/p>\n

Angelina Anderson had six saves for her fourth clean sheet of the season for Angel City (6-1-6).<\/p>\n

San Diego\u2019s shutout streak came to an end at 242 minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Maiara Niehues scored for the fourth straight match and Ary Borges added a goal as Angel City defeated…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":395389,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[158952,158951,158950,158953,101310,4472,26230,158955,107094,158954,101313,5767,74,76,75,5250,104858],"class_list":["post-395388","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-17th-minute","tag-26th-minute","tag-angel-city-defeat","tag-angelina-anderson","tag-ary-borges","tag-ball","tag-box","tag-fourth-clean-sheet","tag-lia-godfrey","tag-long-throw","tag-maiara-niehues","tag-post","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-headlines","tag-san-diego-news","tag-shot","tag-sveindis-jonsdottir"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/395388","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=395388"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/395388\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/395389"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=395388"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=395388"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=395388"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
