Match Preview

“Portland’s fate is in their own hands. League leaders Washington Spirit fell 3-1 to the Chicago Red Stars, leaving the opportunity for the Thorns to snatch the regular-season crown on the final day. Though a tie against Sky Blue would leave Portland and Washington level on points, Thorns FC holds the better head-to-head record against the Spirit, which is the first tiebreak in the NWSL.”
