On a very hot Wednesday night, the Portland Thorns started their participation in the Women’s International Champions Cup. This time their semifinal was, for their first time in history, against a Mexican team. Rayadas de Monterrey went to Providence Park on a mission and after 90 minutes and penalty kicks, they made history.
The starting lineup let us see that coach Rhian Wilkinson decided to rotate and gave the start to some players who hadn’t had many minutes so far in 2022.
Good start for Portland
Things started brightly for the Thorns.
