The Washington Spirit wrapped up their regular season home and away fixtures with Chicago Red Stars with a 0-0 at SeatGeek Stadium. Though the scoreline may not reflect it, the match was an intriguing tale of two halves with stellar saves from goalkeepers Aubrey Kingsbury and Alyssa Naeher being the only reason the match was goalless at full time.
The two sides began the match with very different philosophies as Kris Ward opted to start Sanchez and Rodman on the bench while the Red Stars began with their best available XI. As such, the match started in a manner familiar to the previous matchup just a week ago.
