Haley McCutcheon, Barbra Banda and the legendary Marta scored for top-seeded Orlando, which was undefeated at home and lost just two games this season en route to the NWSL Shield.

There was a moment in the 2024 NWSL semifinal when Barbra Banda was receiving treatment, and the cameras zoomed in on a set of water bottles. One of them had a tape label with a bold “MARTA’S” on one side.

The Orlando Pride are heading to the NWSL championship game for the first time in club history. Following a historic 2024 NWSL Shield-winning regular season, the Pride secured their spot in the NWSL final following a 3-2 victory over the Kansas City Current on Sunday in front of an announced attendance of 14,524 at Inter&Co Stadium.
