Utah Royals suffered their first loss of the Challenge Cup tournament due to a goal from Bethany Balcer in the 91st minute.
Utah Royals were the more aggressive team in the first half, despite only having 45% of the possession. Each team had 5 shots, but Utah was the only side to put a ball on frame. The first half ended 0-0.
The second half began with a triple substitution for the Royals, with Nolf, Maemone, and Corsie all leaving the game, and Bowen, Leach, and Diallo entering the match. It marked the debut for both Aminata Diallo, on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, and Taylor Leach.
