The Orlando Pride and Washington Spirit battled it out in front of an announced sellout crowd in Kansas City. As was the case throughout the postseason, the top seed took care of business. The Orlando Pride won their first NWSL championship thanks to Barbra Banda’s first-half goal.

Banda scored the lone goal in the 37th minute, and Moorhouse stopped five shots for the Pride, the NWSL's top team in the regular season, too.

Banda dribbled into the right side of the box and made a move past a defender before kicking the ball on the ground with her left foot and past the goalkeeper. She became the first player in the NWSL to score in each round of the playoffs.
