Portland put more shots on target than Washington on Sunday, seven to five. Washington scored on four of its five, and Clara Luvanga was involved in three of them: she pressured Mackenzie Arnold into a mistake for one goal and set up both of Trinity Rodman's.

The Washington Spirit beat Portland Thorns FC 4-1 in the NWSL quarterfinals at Audi Field in front of 19,215, according to ESPN's match stats. The third-seeded Spirit's own match recap calls it the biggest margin of victory in a playoff match in club history.

Clara Luvanga's 34th and 35th Minutes

Mélissa Bethi opened the scoring in the sixth minute after Rodman stripped Carolyn Calzada and slipped her the ball, per the Associated Press. In the 34th, Arnold hesitated on a back pass from Isabella Obaze, and Luvanga closed her down and scored from close range. A minute later Luvanga broke into the box and crossed for Rodman, and it was 3-0 at halftime. Pietra Tordin pulled one back for Portland in the 51st, off a Jessie Fleming cross, before Luvanga's grounded ball across the area set up Rodman's second in the 58th. The club says Rodman's two goals tied the league record for a player in a playoff game, and that she and Luvanga are the first two players in NWSL history with three goal contributions in one playoff match.

Sandy MacIver's Six Saves

Washington had 59 percent of the ball and outshot Portland 16-11, but goalkeeper Sandy MacIver still had to make six saves. Arnold made one for Portland. Thorns defender Jayden Perry was sent off with two minutes left in regulation for a second yellow card, both for fouls on Rodman.
