Sophia Wilson scored on a penalty kick in stoppage time to give the Portland Thorns a 2-2 draw with the Utah Royals on Saturday in a matchup of the league’s top teams.
In other National Women’s Soccer League matches, the Washington Spirit beat the Seattle Reign 2-1; and the Kansas City Current topped the Boston Legacy 1-0.
The Thorns (7-3-3) took a 1-0 lead in the 21st minute on a goal by Olivia Moultrie.
The first-place Royals (7-2-3), unbeaten in their last 10, leveled the match on Kiana Palacios’ header in the 44th minute. It was the first goal that Portland had conceded at Providence Park this season and ended a 637-minute home shutout streak.
Mina Tanaka found Cloé Lacasse in the 50th minute to give Utah a 2-1 lead.
Alexa Spaanstra fouled Jayden Perry in the box for the penalty kick that Wilson converted for her fifth goal of the season.
Second-place Portland is unbeaten at home over 10 regular-season matches stretching to last season.
