May 9, 2025. Angel City hosted the Utah Royals for a mere NWSL Matchday 8 clash at BMO Stadium. One way to remember this game is with a 2-0 win for the home side, with Christen Press scoring her momentous goal. But all of this mars in front of an incident that transpired just minutes before the end of this game, when ACFC star Savy King was forced off the pitch after collapsing in the middle of the game due to a heart attack.
Thankfully, this life-threatening incident had a positive ending, as the 20-year-old youngster was fine. Even days later, King herself shared a convincing update for her ardent fans, thanking the Angel City staff for saving her life with CPR. But one certainly doesn’t know the story completely, at least from the American defender’s POV.
Fortunately, King’s latest appearance on the RE—INC podcast, co-hosted by her fellow teammate Christen Press alongside the veteran’s fiancé and retired forward Tobin Heath, saw her reveal some unheard details about that day. When asked how much she remembers about that day, the defender said, “It’s probably going to be a little bit short just because I don’t really remember a lot of what happened, which is so crazy.”
Savy said that even after watching the videos from that day, the youngster somehow couldn’t recollect the exact memory, only acknowledging that she did celebrate Press’ 66th-minute goal moments before collapsing in the 74th minute.
