The San Jose-based soccer team, Bay FC, didn't have the best night on Saturday as they suffered a 3-0 loss at home against the Washington Spirit. It was a tough match for the home team, who were unable to score any points before heading into the NWSL's Olympic break. A crowd of 11,384 gathered at PayPal Park to witness the game, but unfortunately, it didn't go as planned for Bay FC.
Right from the start, the visitors dominated the field and put pressure on Bay FC's defense. In just the fourth minute of play, Washington's Makenna Morris took advantage of a free kick and scored the first goal of the match. The Spirit continued to attack and were rewarded again in the 21st minute when Trinity Rodman converted a penalty kick, giving her team a comfortable two-goal lead.
Despite the early setback, Bay FC didn't give up and created several chances throughout the first half. Deyna Castellanos had a promising one-on-one opportunity inside the box, but she couldn't find the back of the net. The home team also had three corner kicks, but they were unable to capitalize on them. Ultimately, none of their efforts paid off and they ended the first half trailing 2-0.
Bay FC's luck didn't improve in the second half as Ouleymata Sarr scored for the Spirit in the 57th minute, securing their victory. It was a tough loss for Bay FC, who had been on a two-match winning streak. The defeat also brought their record for the season to 6-0-10. On the other hand, Washington Spirit improved their record to an impressive 11-1-4.
Despite the setback, Bay FC is still in the playoff race and currently sits in eighth place in the NWSL standings. The league will now take a break for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, giving the players some well-deserved rest. When they return to the field on July 20, they will be competing in the NWSL x LIGA MX Femenil Summer Cup against San Diego Wave FC.
Overall, it was a tough night for Bay FC, but they will have the opportunity to regroup and come back stronger after the Olympic break. Fans will be eagerly awaiting their return to the pitch and cheering them on as they continue their journey in the NWSL.
