In their third meeting this month the Washington Spirit make it ten matches in a row unbeaten against OL Reign, courtesy of a 0-0 draw. Although the match was heavily dominated by intense midfield pressure by the Reign which negated a lot of the Spirit’s typical buildup play, the hosts weren’t able to capitalize with a goal.
Both teams also came into the match with an imbalance in rest, with the Spirit having played Portland Thorns midweek and while the Reign’s most recent match was nine days ago. Washington started the match with a good early chance as Trinity Rodman pounced on a loose touch from Lauren Barnes.
