The NWSL season comes to a close today, as the Washington Spirit take on the Western New York Flash in the NWSL championship match. The final — hosted at BBVA Compass Stadium in Houston — kicks off at 2:00 p.m. PT on Fox Sports 1.
While fans won’t be able to root on Seattle Reign FC this year, if the semifinal matches were any indication, this game should be an exciting one.
The Washington Spirit advanced to the final for the first time in club history after defeating the Chicago Red Stars in the semis. While Washington went up 1-0 after dominating the first half, the Spirit struggled in the second half and allowed Christen Press to equalize in the 81st minute.
