The look on Kelli Hubly’s face said it all; it was gonna be Another One of Those Days.
Missing Tobin Heath and Midge Purce (ankle injuries), and forced to field Hubly for Emily Sonnett (out with back problems), the Thorns would have to throw out another makeshift XI on another road pitch and would have to scramble for a road point against Samantha Kerr and the Chicago Red Stars.
But would be just fine - except the Thorns missing the perfect chance for two more.
Beginning with Lindsey Horan’s pass in the 15th minute.
