San Diego Wave Settle for Draw Against Angel City, Extending Winless Streak

San Diego Wave's recent struggles continued as they were held to a 1-1 draw against rival Angel City, marking another frustrating result for the team. The draw extends the Wave's winless streak, with their last victory dating back to June 13th against the Houston Dash.

The match saw a late surge of action, with Makenzy Robbe scoring in the 85th minute to give the Wave a 1-0 lead. This goal ended a scoring drought for the team, who hadn't found the net in 304 minutes. However, Angel City responded in injury time, with Alanna Kennedy heading in a goal off a cross, equalizing the score.

Wave manager Jonas Eidevall expressed both satisfaction with Robbe's goal and disappointment with the team's inability to secure the win. He highlighted the team's struggles to close out games and emphasized the need for improvement, particularly in the second half. Eidevall noted the team's sloppy ball possession and unforced errors as key areas for concern.

The Wave dominated the first half, creating several scoring opportunities. However, their momentum shifted in the second half, with Angel City increasing their offensive pressure. Despite the draw, the Wave missed an opportunity to climb into second place in the standings. They currently sit in fourth place, with Seattle Reign closely trailing. The Wave will look to end their winless streak next Saturday when they face Bay FC.

BNN's Perspective: The San Diego Wave's inability to secure wins despite taking the lead late in matches is a concerning trend. While individual performances like Robbe's are encouraging, the team needs to address its defensive vulnerabilities and improve its ability to maintain possession and control the game in the second half. Consistency and a more disciplined approach are crucial for the Wave to climb the standings and compete for a top spot.
