The Legacy made light work of a depleted Portland Thorns side on Saturday, cruising to a 4-2 victory on the road - and the opening goal told the whole story.
With the Thorns already down to 10 players, Boston carved them open with ease. The sequence began from a routine goal kick by Portland keeper Mackenzie Arnold, flicked on by forward Pietra Tordin.
A poor first touch from Tordin saw her get tangled up with teammate Alba Caño, gifting possession to Boston's Lilly Reale. From there, the damage was done.
Caño was left grounded after the 50/50 challenge, with Tordin drifting two players away - leaving a gaping hole the Legacy were only too happy to exploit, Equalizer Soccer reports.
It was, simply put, far too easy for Boston - and a damning indictment of Portland's defensive organisation on the night.
