The Thorns battled FC Kansas City to a scoreless draw on the road today, in a game marked by lackluster offensive performances from both sides.
Recap
The game got off to a slow start. The Thorns had the lion’s share of possession—60% in the first half—but couldn’t string together anything threatening for the first 20 minutes.
The Thorns’ first opportunity came in the 21st minute, when Christine Sinclair passed to Nadia Nadim on the left flank, and an overlapping run by Meghan Klingenberg drew two defenders away. Nadim had a clear shot from the top of the box, but hit it well wide.
