Despite Banda’s temporary setback after being fouled in the box, she showed resilience and continued to make an impact on the game.

Banda’s dynamic presence on the field forced Castellanos to commit the foul, leading to the penalty that secured the win for Orlando Pride.

Although Banda had to be substituted in the 88th minute due to her earlier injury, her performance throughout the match was commendable.

The Copper Queens skipper came close to scoring just before halftime, but her effort was denied by Bay FC goalkeeper Katelyn Rowland.

Meanwhile, Kundananji also had her chances to score but was unable to find the back of the net.

Both players showcased their skills and determination, with Kundananji making several attempts to break through the Pride’s defense.

Despite the competitive nature of the game, Banda and Kundananji shared a moment of sportsmanship after the final whistle, embracing and exchanging words.
