The Washington Spirit revisited the site of their first NWSL Championship as they looked for some good luck to get back to winning ways versus Racing Louisville at Lynn Family Stadium. Instead, an all too familiar pattern unfolded as Ashley Hatch’s second half goal cancelled out Nadia Nadim’s opener and the Spirit collected their league leading ninth draw of the season.
For the first thirteen minutes the wrong team looked like they played a physical match just three days ago. Racing Louisville’s high press had Washingotn all out of sorts and rarely able to work the ball out of their defensive area.
