After losing a late lead last week, the Washington Spirit are hoping to take the next step tonight as they face Racing Louisville. Visiting Kentucky for the first time, the Spirit will be looking to repeat (or improve upon) their previous meeting with Racing, a 1-0 win that included a dramatic stoppage-time winning goal.
Doing so won’t be easy. While Louisville have not won in their first-ever NWSL season, they haven’t given up a goal in 186 minutes, With plenty of ex-Spirit players in their squad and the benefit of having seen Washington already, they’ll be looking to win for the first time in front of home fans.
