Angel City FC fans were up on their feet on Thursday to welcome Christen Press back to action after a lengthy injury battle.
The United States Womenās National Team star was sidelined for over two years (781 days) following an ACL injury in June 2022.
During that time away, she underwent four surgeries and missed the 2023 FIFA Womenās World Cup for the USA before returning to the pitch during Thursdayās clash against the San Diego Wave.
Press eventually stepped up and slotted home her spot kick as Angel City won the Summer Cup match on penalties.
Couldn't have written it any better. Christen Press scores on a penalty in her first match back!Ā āĀ
A special moment, no doubt.
