NWSL: Banda Excited to Qualify for The Final

Barbra Banda in post-match press conference:

Barbra Banda scored the go-ahead goal and the Orlando Pride defeated the Kansas City Current 3-2 on Sunday to advance to the National Women’s Soccer League championship game.

Banda during a post match conference said “I am excited to qualify for the final.”

“I think it has been an amazing season for me winning the shield and qualifying for the playoffs, I am hoping to continue with that momentum next season as well.”

“Defenders will always defend and we have as strikers to be creative to work through the rival playing rough.”

“Marta’s goal was so amazing, I just saw all the defenders down.”

“Seb Hines (Orlando Pride coach) has been important for me and the whole team, I learned a lot from him.”

The Pride will face the Washington Spirit on Saturday for the league title at CPKC Stadium in Kansas City. The Spirit advanced to the final on a penalty shootout with a 1-1 draw against defending champions Gotham FC in the other semifinal, on Saturday.
