DC Power FC earned a 1-0 victory over Sporting JAX on Saturday, with Alyssa Walker's 78th-minute strike proving the difference in this USL Super League clash.
The first half produced no goals, with neither side able to break the deadlock before the interval. The contest grew more heated after the break, as Sporting JAX picked up two yellow cards in quick succession — Georgie Brown cautioned in the 55th minute, followed by Sophia Boman three minutes later. The bookings did little to swing momentum in DC Power's favor immediately, but the visitors stayed patient.
That patience paid off with 12 minutes remaining. Justina Gaynor delivered the key pass, and Walker finished to put DC Power FC ahead. It was a decisive moment in a game that had otherwise lacked a cutting edge in the final third.
Sporting JAX had no answer in the closing stages, unable to muster an equalizer as DC Power FC saw the result out comfortably.
The win gives DC Power FC a valuable three points on the road, a result that could carry real weight as the USL Super League season progresses.
