Seattle Reign FC traveled to the Garden State on Sunday to face Sky Blue FC for the first time this season. In what’s becoming an unpleasant pattern, it was yet another game between the two sides that was played in awful conditions, with chilly temperatures, strong winds, a saturated field, and driving rain stymieing play for much of the match.
Much of the game appeared to be played in an impressionist painting, so there’s a little less detail to some of today’s ratings, but enough of the key action was discernable that we can at least confirm that Seattle won 1-0 thanks to an early Megan Rapinoe penalty kick.
