North Carolina Courage vs. Portland Thorns FC: Lynn Williams scores late winner in NWSL Challenge Cup opener - CBSSports.com

The National Women's Soccer League became the first professional team sports league to mark its return during the COVID-19 pandemic with the launch of the 2020 Challenge Cup in Utah. The action kicked off Saturday on CBS and CBS All Access as two-time reigning champion North Carolina Courage staved off a pesky Portland Thorns FC team at Zions Bank Stadium -- a rematch of the 2018 and 2017 championship games -- to secure a 2-1 win.

All players took a knee before the first kick-off in honor of the Black Live Matter movement. Debinha scored the first goal of the tourney, while the Thorns equalized five minutes later in the second half. It was Lynn Williams who scored the game-winning goal in added time via header to secure the three points for the Courage.
