It was midweek action for OL Reign, as their second 2021 NWSL Challenge Cup match saw them traveling down Interstate 5 to meet that familiar foe, the Portland Thorns FC in their notorious house, Providence Park. One team looked very much like a complete unit, while the other looked every bit rusty and regressed some from last Friday’s match. Portland Thorns beat OL Reign on goals by Lindsey Horan and Simone Charley, and in doing so, ensured they will top the West group and play in the 2021 Challenge Cup final.
