There is s a Green Day song that asks “Do You Know Your Enemy?” The Red Stars and Washington Spirit certainly do, having played each other three times in the last six weeks. But perhaps the Red Stars know a bit more as they completed the set of games with 7 points out of a possible 9 with Sunday evening’s 3-1 victory.
Chicago played a more aggressive style this time around than in recent games, including their previous 1-1 draw with the Spirit, which early in the game caught the visitors off guard.
“It’s kind of like riding a racehorse that want’s to run and pulling on the reigns, this week we let the reins go,” said Red Stars coach Rory Dames of his approach.
