Bay FC loses again after late Utah penalty
Bay FC’s latest loss was decided in one costly moment
A 3 - 2 loss is not automatically a crisis, but Bay FC’s five-match winless run makes the details harder to shrug off. Karlie Lema and Heather Gilchrist kept the match alive, then Mina Tanaka’s 79th-minute penalty settled it for Utah Royals FC.
The frustrating part is how little margin there seems to be right now. Bay FC can score, but one late mistake turns a competitive match into another result they have to explain. The official recap is here, for anyone else keeping a slightly grim spreadsheet of the season.
