The Chicago Red Stars are back at home at SeatGeek Stadium in Bridgeview for the first time this season, after pulling out a dull-yet-important 0-0 draw in Houston to open the 2021 NWSL Challenge Cup.
The Red Stars outshot the Dash 11-3 in that one. Goalkeeper Cassie Miller got her first NWSL start while Alyssa Naeher was gone on USWNT duty. Miller got the clean sheet, and helped the team pick up an important point away from home.
Tonight, the Portland Thorns are in town. Portland sits on top of the Challenge Cup standings, after securing a 2-1 win over Kansas City.
