Utah Royals FC played the Houston Dash in their fourth match of the season this week. Utah went into this game missing 5 international players to World Cup call ups. Missing Desiree Scott, Diana Matheson, Kelley O’Hara, Christen Press and Becky Sauerbrunn, Utah started a very young lineup. Despite this, Utah came off strong in this game.
Utah would get the first goal of this one in the 29’ minute. Off a breakaway, Amy Rodriguez slotted it home to give Utah the lead. But Rachel Daly would tie it for Houston in the 42’, being the first goal Utah conceded in 2019.
