Broken Home: Chicago Red Stars 1, FC Kansas City 3, NWSL game recap

After having one of the strongest home records in the league, the Chicago Red Stars have no lost three home games in a row. Their 3-1 loss against FC Kansas City tonight at Toyota Park has now put Chicago’s playoff hopes in serious jeopardy, with just five games left in the regular season to put things right.

I wasn’t sure what to expect with the lineup tonight. We ended up with the default back line restored (including Casey Short restored as a fullback, as Goddess intended), Vanessa DiBernardo scratched late and Taylor Comeau sent in her place, and Yuki Nagasato making her first start for Chicago.
