In a pretty-close-to-must-win match on the weekend, the Reign took an early two-goal lead but couldn’t hold it, and did not win. The draw against one of the teams they’re chasing in the standings kept them alive, but now their playoff hopes rest on getting multiple points in a pair of matches against the top team in the standings.
The road leg is tonight, in an odd midweek schedule that has every NWSL team in action a week before taking a two-week break ( ).
The Spirit certainly have enough motivation to take revenge on the Reign.
