The Thorns hosted winless Sky Blue for a mid-week match. The 2-1 result was satisfying even if the Thorns were not dominant on the score sheet. After very little rest, it was off to Audi Field to meet the disintegrating Washington Spirit. This match was more dominant for the Thorns in all ways except kicking balls into the net. The 1-0 result was the minimum requirement for the Thorns to have a shot for a home playoff match. The match extended the Spirit’s losing streak to ten matches and their scoring drought to thirteen.
Neither match was particularly entertaining, but there was a highlight moment on Wednesday.
