OL Reign’s second Challenge Cup matchup against Angel City felt in many ways like the first one. This time, however, OL Reign was unable to find a goal in the second half and the match at Lumen Field ended in a scoreless draw.
It was a defensive battle for 90 minutes, with Angel City having nine shots and OL Reign getting five. With the draw, the Reign remain at the top of the West group in the Challenge Cup, with both the San Diego Wave and Portland Thorns playing one fewer match.
