Barbra Banda Leads Orlando Pride to Double Glory
Barbra Banda etched her name in history by guiding Orlando Pride to their maiden NWSL Championship title, securing a thrilling 1-0 victory over Washington Spirit in the final at CPKC Stadium. This historic triumph capped an extraordinary season for the Pride, who also clinched the NWSL Shield, becoming the first team since NC Courage in 2019 to achieve the coveted double.
The match’s decisive moment came in the 37th minute when Pride midfielder Angelina delivered a stunning aerial through ball. Banda’s explosive pace and clinical finishing left Washington Spirit goalkeeper Aubrey Kingsbury helpless, securing the title for her team. Despite intense pressure from the Spirit in the second half, the Pride held firm to emerge victorious.
