M.A. Vignola‘s first-half goal was all Angel City FC needed to earn a 1-0 road win over the Seattle Reign at Lumen Field.
Alyssa Thompson did a give-and-go with Vignola, who finished into the right corner in the 34th minute.
Thompson has five goals and two assists in the last seven games.
On Thursday, Angel City (7-12-4) was fined $200,000 and docked three points for violating the NWSL salary cap. The win keeps them in playoff contention.
The Reign (5-13-5) fell to 12th place.
