Portland Thorns FC set a new National Women's Soccer League regular-season record for the longest home shutout streak on Wednesday night.

The team secured a 2-0 victory against Bay FC at Providence Park.

The win extended Portland's home shutout streak to 594 regular-season minutes without conceding a goal, according to a report by KATU.

The Thorns remain undefeated at home during the 2026 season.

Match Highlights

M. A.

Vignola opened the scoring for the hosts with a powerful volley after a chaotic sequence inside the penalty box following a corner kick.

Mallie McKenzie later doubled the advantage by scoring her first professional career goal, securing the final two-goal margin.

Portland's offensive dominance was reflected in a 7-2 edge in shots on goal over the visitors.

The result, combined with a draw by San Diego on Wednesday night, moved Portland into sole possession of first place in the league standings with a 7-2-2 record.

Portland will next play an away match against the Kansas City Current this weekend before returning home for their final fixture prior to the summer break.
