Welcome back to Full Time Review, your Monday recap of all the best women's soccer action from the weekend in under 15 minutes.
This week, Theo Lloyd-Hughes rounds up the NWSL weekend, starting with the Portland Thorns stunning the Orlando Pride on Friday night, and handing Seb Hines' team their first defeat in over a year.
Then, the Kansas City Current's Temwa Chawinga continued her extraordinary 2024 when she smashed home her 19th goal of the season against Bay FC — breaking the record for the most goals ever in an NWSL season by doing so.
Meg Linehan pops in to go deeper on why the big goals and milestones this weekend mean so much, and the emotion that erupted from Christen Press getting on the scoresheet for the first time this season for Angel City.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to full time review. |
| 0:16.3 | I'm your host today, Theo Lloyd Hughes. |
| 0:18.6 | This is your Monday morning recap of all the biggest stories |
| 0:21.6 | from the Women's Soccer weekend. Let's get to it. On Friday night, the Portland Thorns |
| 0:27.6 | stunned the Orlando Pride. The Pride were coming in on a 24 match unbeaten run, hand-dropped |
| 0:33.3 | a game this year. It had been 371 days since the last defeat, but the 24-2020 |
| 0:39.7 | shield winners were well-beaten 2-0 away to the Portland Thorns. This was a big deal for |
| 0:45.7 | Portland too, who had six defeats in their previous seven matches, no wins since the Olympic |

| 1:11.9 | Marta and Emily Sams later on in the game after the hour. But the credit has to go to Portland, |
| 1:16.7 | who really shut out Orlando and kept things really, really tight defensively, big outings |
| 1:22.6 | from Raina Reyes, Sam Coffey nullified the likes of Ali Watt and Julia Doyle. |
| 1:29.8 | This match may best be remembered, though, |
| 1:32.3 | for Christine Sinclair's goal in the second half, |
| 1:35.6 | what could be her final other goal at Providence Park. |
| 1:39.2 | It was an expertly taken finesse finish to make it 2-0, |
| 1:42.8 | and it was loud when that ball hit the back of the minute. |
| 1:48.3 | This crowd came to see this exact moment. |
