Amanda Gutierres scored two stoppage-time goals to help the Boston Legacy beat the Washington Spirit 3-0 on Sunday.
In the day’s later National Women’s Soccer League match, the Chicago Stars battled back to tie the Portland Thorns 1-1.
Boston carried a 1-0 lead into stoppage time at Audi Field before Gutierres put the match away with two goals in two minutes.
In the 94th minute, Spirit defender Tara Rudd mishandled the ball near midfield, and Gutierres intercepted her attempted pass back to goalkeeper Sandy MacIver. With MacIver well off her line, Gutierres bent an arcing shot into the net from 40 yards out on the right side.
Two minutes later, Gutierres finished a cross from Lilly Reale to give the Legacy (7-12-5) a 3-0 lead.
Aïssata Traoré opened the scoring in the 81st minute, rolling a shot between the legs of Washington (13-7-4) defender Esme Morgan, past MacIver and off the far post.
Taylor Wood scored her first NWSL goal on a header in the second minute of second-half stoppage time, salvaging the Stars’ draw against the Thorns.
The late equalizer gave visiting Chicago a positive finish after another difficult night defensively.
Portland took a 1-0 lead in the 22nd minute when Thorns midfielder Jessie Fleming sent a ball into the box that grazed off Stars defender Maitane López Millán — known simply as “Maitane” — and sailed over goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher’s shoulder for an own goal.
The own goal tied the NWSL record for most goals conceded in a single season at 54, a mark Chicago set last season. The Stars still have six matches remaining.
Naeher kept Portland (11-7-6) out of the net for the remainder of the match after Chicago (5-17-2) allowed 12 goals combined in its previous two matches, a 6-0 loss to the North Carolina Courage and a 6-1 loss to the Denver Summit.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has agreed to a significant portion of a stringent ethics proposal that is part of broader cryptocurrency legislation headed for a key vote this week, according to three of the bill's main Republican authors.
The sweeping bill initially had just a provision included that would bar all federally elected officials and their spouses, as well as federal judges, from issuing digital assets.
A core group of Democrats, as well as Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., said that didn’t go far enough to address conflict-of-interest issues they had with Trump’s crypto wealth. Their votes would be needed to advance the bill in a key vote this Tuesday.
Tillis and Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., along with several other Democrats, had demanded language that would allow state attorneys general to step in and enforce the law in addition to the Justice Department.
In announcing Trump’s agreement, Republican Sens. Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Tim Scott of South Carolina and John Boozman of Arkansas said it includes a “meaningful role” for state attorneys general to play in enforcing the crypto measure should it become law.
“At every step of the way during the Clarity Act negotiations, the White House and Senate Republicans have been responsive to Democrats’ stated policy objectives,” White House crypto adviser Patrick Witt said on X Sunday night. “After more than a year’s worth of negotiations, it’s time to pass this bipartisan bill.”
In private, White House officials had raised concerns about giving state attorneys general the power to enforce the law, arguing that Democratic state lawyers could use it as a political weapon against the president and other GOP officials — and that it could be used by Republican attorneys general against elected Democrats, according to two people with knowledge of the discussions.
But a senior GOP aide, who briefed reporters on condition of anonymity on Sunday night, said the president had agreed to “about 80%” of the proposal from Tillis and Gallego, pointing mainly to the state attorneys general provision. An updated version of the bill being released later Sunday will include a requirement to either divest or place in a blind trust any “significant” financial interest in an entity that issues cryptocurrencies, the senior GOP aide said.
Trump also agreed to language that would allow state attorneys general to sue a crypto exchange if they list a digital asset that would be barred in the overall bill, according to the aide.
Aides to Gallego and Tillis did not immediately return a request for comment on Sunday night.
