Heading into tonight’s match, a win or a draw for OL Reign secured the overall number one seed in the 2022 NWSL Challenge Cup semifinal rounds.
OL Reign’s first trip down to San Diego and the second installment of the Cooler Clásico was one to remember for both good and very bad reasons. Right from kickoff, fans attempting to watch the game on either on Paramount+ or Twitch found themselves facing a technical difficulties screen, as the stream was broken for nearly 20 minutes. As NWSL Twitter was alight with screenshots of “Technical Difficulties, Please Stand By,” Ally Watt claimed her first goal for OL Reign.
