Salvo SC's opening match of their 2026 season started out as a back and forth affair, but neither team found a breakthrough before the half. Two goals in quick succession by Elle Wildman and Matigann Vixayvong put Salvo up 2-0 early in the second half. Bliss mounted a spirited attempt at a comeback, but were ultimately unable to find the back of the net.
