After an emphatic 4-1 victory over Gotham FC on Sunday, OL Reign are in Louisville, Kentucky for a break from NWSL action while competing in this year’s edition of The Women’s Cup.
OL Reign faced Club América Femenil in the first semifinal of the competition, which itself marked the first time in club history that the Reign competed against a Mexican club in an official competition. Club América won their quarterfinal match this past Sunday over Tottenham Hotspur Women, 2-1, to meet OL Reign today.
A rotated squad did a lot of defending in the first half, conceded first in the second half, but in a fortunate turn of events this time, scored two goals in a three minute span to come out on top over Club América.
