Marta scored once and Karina LeBlanc recorded her third consecutive shutout as the Los Angeles Sol blanked FC Gold Pride 1-0 on a hot Sunday.
Marta's goal, her third consecutive, was all Los Angeles needed to beat FC and stay perfect in the Women's Professional Soccer standings.
The Sol (3-0) finally broke through when Marta scored in the 47th minute to make it 1-0.
Aly Wagner cleared a ball to Marta from midfield and the Brazilian soccer star split two defenders toward the left side of the box to create some space. Marta then sped in front of both to net the goal past FC goalie Nicole Barnhart.
The Sol continued to put pressure on Barnhart and had several chances to add to the score, but Marta was the only one to get through.
Allison Falk, Stephanie Cox, Manya Makoski and Brittney Bock manned Sol's defense and limited FC's touches throughout.
