Mozingo’s Late Equalizer for Utah Spoils DeMelo’s Return for Louisville in 1-1 Draw
Brecken Mozingo scored in stoppage time to rescue a point for Utah, and Savannah DeMelo returned to NWSL play after a medical emergency last season.
Savannah DeMelo returned to NWSL play on Saturday, appearing as a substitute in the Utah Royals' 1-1 draw with Racing Louisville. This marked her first match since collapsing during a game last season.
DeMelo recently revealed she collapsed during a game last season due to undiagnosed cardiac arrhythmia. Her recovery spanned months following the September 14, 2025 incident.
Midfielder Brecken Mozingo scored in stoppage time to salvage a draw for Utah. DeMelo said her return was "probably the greatest accomplishment I'll ever have in my soccer career."
In other NWSL action, the Kansas City Current defeated Bay 5-1 at CPKC Stadium. Midfielder Debinha recorded a hat trick in the second half.
Boston Legacy claimed a 4-2 road victory over the Portland Thorns, who played shorthanded after a 22nd-minute red card for violent conduct by Sopia Wilson.
