By now we all know that it is illegal for the Washington Spirit to have fewer than two games in a week so today they face NJ/NY Gotham FC at Red Bull Arena. While the stretch of matches has been brutal, the Spirit are in the midst of a small stretch in which their performances have improved.
Though the earned result against Orlando was thrown away in the final two minutes, the Spirit controlled large stretches of the match. Then, they followed that up by solving Chicago’s midfield numbers and counterpressing midweek, unfortunately that result was also a draw — the Spirit’s fourth straight.
