OL Reign resumed their NWSL Fall Series tonight with a home match against their Cascadia rivals, the Portland Thorns FC. Revenge was on the mind for Farid Benstiti’s squad after being on the business end of a Portland Thorns FC 4-goal rout two weeks ago down in Providence Park. While they looked a lot stronger and, most importantly, refreshed after having full and proper rest, they couldn’t overcome two soft penalty calls and remain winless in the NWSL Fall Series.
Christine Sinclair converted both penalties for Portland, while Amber Brooks claimed OL Reign’s goal.
