For the third time in 2021, OL Reign met the Chicago Red Stars on the pitch. The first two meetings were at Cheney Stadium, and OL Reign’s first visit this year to Chicago yielded one of the weirdest and most disappointing second halves for the Reign, which is saying something as they’re an NWSL original franchise. While Bethany Balcer opened the scoring in the 12th minute for the Reign, it will be the second half that will grab the headlines. OL Reign committed two own goals in a six-minute span that derailed the team’s rhythm and plan.
