    Former Football Ferns skipper Ali Riley has appeared in what's likely to be the final football game of her career before retirement

    Former Football Ferns skipper Ali Riley has appeared in what's likely to be the final football game of her career before retirement


    The 37-year-old came on in the 82nd minute during Angel City FC's 2-nil loss to Portland in the National Women's Soccer League - snapping a 463-day stint on the sidelines due to a chronic nerve issue.

    Speaking during her post-match retirement ceremony in front of her home Los Angeles fans, Riley offered a touching tribute to her club teammates.
