A week after the Washington Spirt match against the Portland Thorns was postponed due to numerous positive COVID-19 cases amongst the Spirit squad, “breaches of the league’s medical protocols” have forced the Spirit to forfeit their game against OL Reign, which was originally set to kick off at Audi Field on Sunday, September 12.
The NWSL announced the game’s cancellation this afternoon and awarded OL Reign three points and a 3-0 win, following FIFA guidelines for forfeits.
No additional details on the breaches were provided at the time of the announcement.
