LOS ANGELES, CA - Seattle Reign FC (1-1-1, 4 points) fell 2-1 to Angel City FC (1-0-2, 5 points) on Sunday night at BMO Stadium, marking the club's first loss of the 2025 season. Angel City opened the scoring early, with Alyssa Thompson finding the back of the net in the eighth minute. Reign FC responded quickly, earning a penalty just four minutes later when Ana-Maria Crnogorčević was brought down in the box. Ji So-Yun calmly converted from the spot to bring the match level at 1-1. In the second half, Angel City FC was able to find the game-winning goal off a cross to Riley Tiernan in the 63rd minute.

Seattle now heads into the international break and will return to action on Saturday, April 12, hosting the undefeated Orlando Pride at Lumen Field (4:30 p.m. PT / ION).

MATCH NOTES

TEAM OF SCORERS: Through three games this season, Reign FC has four players - Emeri Adames, Jordyn Bugg, Jess Fishlock and Ji So-Yun - with at least one goal, tied for the second-most scorers in the league.

JI SO-YUN: Shortly after Angel City FC opened up the scoring, Ji So-Yun calmly converted a penalty-kick in the 12th minute to level the match, marking her first-ever PK in the league and fourth NWSL goal in her career. Ji also scored against Angel City FC in Los Angeles last season during the club's 3-2 comeback win.

PHOEBE MCCLERNON: Phoebe McClernon, who wore the captain's armband tonight, made her 38th consecutive regular-season appearance for Reign FC - the longest active streak on the team.

SERIES: Following tonight's result, Reign FC is now 8-3-1 against Angel City FC across all NWSL competitions. Seattle holds an all-time record of 4-2-0 on the road in Los Angeles.
