On Thursday night, the Chicago Red Stars fell to new depths of disappointment. For the second game in a row, they lost to the worst team in the league, this time a 2-1 defeat to Orlando City. The Chicago Red Stars were dominant early on. In the fourth minute, Yuki Nagasato played a cross into the box for Sam Kerr, which was punched away and almost recovered by Vanessa DiBernardo at the top of the box. In the sixth minute, Kerr ripped a shot from outside the box that clanged off the crossbar.
Then everything changed.
