Angel City FC made its regular-season NWSL debut on Friday with a 2-1 win over the North Carolina Courage in front of a "crowd announced at 22,000" at Banc of California Stadium. The scene was "more red carpet than green grass," as there were "fireworks, singers and a marching band." A cast of "nearly 100 team owners and investors" took the field before the players for "cheers, hugs and a photo op" (L.A. TIMES, 4/30).
An electric night for the @weareangelcity home opener.
