Admit it, you can’t get enough of Trinity Rodman’s game-winner against the Thorns on the weekend. Good. So let’s break it down!
The Spirit and Thorns were tied 1-1, and the Thorns were on the front foot, when Rodman came on in the 76th minute. It was her first appearance since April 12 when a back injury finally became too much to play through. It looked at one point like her return would be more about having played than having performed, especially when she appeared a beat slow in the 89th minute with a chance to chip Thorns keeper Mackenzie Arnold who was out of position following an aggressive touch.
